Matt Berry as Laszlo the desperate vampire from What We Do in the Shadows, in his unmistakable deadpan delivery, used for dramatic pleading reactions.
This clip captures Matt Berry in full Laszlo Cravensworth mode, sounding theatrically desperate in a way only a centuries old vampire could. His rich, over enunciated voice stretches every syllable, turning a simple plea into something grand, needy and faintly ridiculous. The humour comes from the contrast between the character's supposed power and elegance and how quickly he collapses into melodrama. It lands instantly with fans because Berry's delivery is so distinctive, and even without context the exaggerated desperation reads as pure comic panic, embarrassment and over the top begging.
