Matt Berry plays Laszlo Cravensworth, the flamboyant English vampire, in the FX comedy series What We Do in the Shadows, which premiered in 2019 and is based on the 2014 film of the same name. Berry's exaggerated, old-fashioned delivery has made many of his short lines popular as reaction sounds, because they carry character even without visual context. Pardon works in the same way, offering a brief, formal response that fits memes, edits and group-chat replies. Its appeal lies less in a single viral moment than in how easily it can punctuate everyday confusion.

Matt Berry delivers a dry, theatrical 'Pardon' as Laszlo in What We Do in the Shadows, a reaction line creators use for confused or offended moments.
This short clip captures Matt Berry saying pardon in the grand, slightly bewildered manner that defines his performance as Laszlo Cravensworth in What We Do in the Shadows. The delivery is crisp and theatrical, with a raised, almost aristocratic tone that turns a single polite word into a comic interruption. It lands as a pause rather than a punchline, letting the absurdity of the moment hang in the air before the scene moves on. Listeners hear surprise, formality and faint disapproval at once, which is why the word feels funnier than a longer explanation would. It works best as a quick reaction to something strange, rude or unexpectedly posh.
