Matt Berry plays Laszlo Cravensworth in What We Do in the Shadows, the FX mockumentary comedy about vampires sharing a house on Staten Island, adapted from the 2014 film of the same name. Berry's theatrical, old-fashioned delivery became one of the show's most recognisable traits, and short clips of his lines circulate widely in memes and fan edits. This particular phrase is used online less as a direct quote to explain and more as a shorthand for pompous villainy, which is why it works so well detached from its original scene.
