Matt Berry plays Laszlo Cravensworth in the television series What We Do in the Shadows, which began in 2019 and follows a group of vampires living in Staten Island. Berry's over-the-top, old-world delivery made Laszlo a fan favourite, and short clips of his most theatrical lines began circulating among viewers and meme editors. The single-word 'nay' works because it is instantly recognisable even out of context, letting creators borrow Laszlo's arrogant charm for quick rejections without needing any knowledge of the show's plot.

Matt Berry's theatrical 'nay' from What We Do in the Shadows, used by creators to dismiss bad ideas, reject plans and deliver a dramatic, comedic no.
This is a short, emphatic 'nay' spoken by Matt Berry as Laszlo Cravensworth in What We Do in the Shadows, delivered with the actor's signature theatrical baritone and a slight, dismissive drawl that makes a simple refusal feel grand and absurd. The word lands cleanly, with no music or background noise, so it cuts straight through a scene and immediately signals disagreement. Hearing it makes a rejection feel funnier than a plain no, because Berry performs it like a vampire aristocrat vetoing something beneath him, turning an everyday refusal into a punchline that viewers instantly recognise and repeat.
