History Main / NoblewomansLaugh

* A rare example in print: Aurora, the Summer Princess, in "Summer Knight", book four of ''TheDresdenFiles''. During the climactic battle scene, she utilizes what can only be a Noblewoman's Laugh to literally drive her enemies to their knees.

* Reika Tamaki from ''OjamajoDoremi''.

* The Red Queen in ''{{Miyuki-chan In Wonderland}}''.

* Adell's mom, [[UnnamedParent Mom]], in ''{{Disgaea 2}}''. She ''claims'' that her lack of a conscience is due to Zenon's curse.

* Satoko from ''VisualNovel/HigurashiNoNakuKoroNi'' has a rather impressive noblewoman's laugh for a [[strike:nine-year-old]] [[VagueAge 9-12 year-old]]. Full with {{Keigo}} speech.
** Lambdadelta from ''VisualNovel/UminekoNoNakuKoroNi'' has one of these as well, as Satoko's {{Expy}}.
** Most of [[{{Troll}} Beatrice's]] EvilLaughter is like this, complete with pipe. [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=F_1QuqO4dRo But it lacks elegance]].
*** Eva has a fan, but she tends to sneer more than laugh.

* In the Japanese version of ''PrincessDebut'', when introduced to Kid (Vince in the English version), this is the "proper" response choice when asked if you're the princess.

* Flea, the crossdressing henchman [[GenderBender (henchwoman?)]] from ''VideoGame/ChronoTrigger'' laughs like this. The player can't actually hear it though, because it's just a SNES game and actual voice sounds in games in that era were rare.
** [[http://i185.photobucket.com/albums/x256/Zaramie/fleaquote.jpg Banish your confusions.]]
** Lucca gets a few of these as well.
*** Most notably, she always pulls one of these whenever the Hypnowave Single Tech is cast, at the very end of the casting-animation.

No matter what, the NoblewomansLaugh is almost always [[BitchAlert the mark of]] a [[RichBitch bitch]].

* In ''KamenRiderKiva'', Shizuka briefly goes through a {{Yandere}} period, marked by pseudo-[[ImagineSpot Imagine Spots]] where she has devil horns, a pitchfork, and does the laugh as she attempts to break up Wataru and Mio.

* In ''Pop'n Magic'', the boss Fräulein Viper uses this as one of her attacks.

* [[spoiler:Iris]] from ''{{Rosenkreuzstilette}}'' likes doing these [[spoiler:when she's carrying out her organization-manipulating plans for entertainment]]. Once again, she does one really nicely for a little kid.

* [[AxisPowersHetalia France]]. Oh-hon-honhonhonho

No matter what, the NoblewomansLaugh is almost always the mark of a [[RichBitch bitch]].

->-- ''JimmyNeutron''

A stereotyped laugh used by women from [[BlueBlood aristocratic]] Japanese or pseudo-Japanese families, usually written "ホホホ" or "ほほほ" (ho ho ho), or sometimes "お~~ほほほ" (oooohohoho) representing a high-pitched, somewhat artificial form of refined feminine laughter (rather than the belly-laugh "ho ho ho" represents in English). Typically associated with TheOjou character type, or haughty, stuck-up women.

* SelfDemonstrating/TheJoker laughed something like this in the 1966-1968 ''{{Batman}}'' TV series, as well as the 1966 tie-in movie. (Interestingly enough, that laugh was entirely natural. [[RealLifeWritesThePlot Cesar Romero actually laughed in a rather effeminate manner whenever he found something amusing]], and he was encouraged to incorporate that laugh into his Joker characterization.)

* Parodied in the first ''YesPrettyCure5'' [[TheMovie movie]].

* Fassad from Mother 3. "Nwehehehehehe!"

* In Creator/RobertEHoward's "Literature/TheScarletCitadel", ConanTheBarbarian finds an EldritchAbomination that can imitiate human sounds. One is this.

* Zexion, of all the Organization XIII members, lets out a impresive '''Noblewoman's Laugh''' during the battles against Riku in ''KingdomHearts [=Re:Chain=] of Memories'' and Sora in ''Final Mix+''. [[http://youtu.be/YU44M1Xw7kc?t=1m47s It can be heard here.]].

* Sister Bismaru, who despite the name is actually a VillainousCrossdresser, from ''GanbareGoemon'' possesses a really startling '''Noblewoman's Laugh'''.

* Misora Utagawa, a ghost ''[[{{RIN-NE}} Rinne]]'' is trying to help pass on, does this when she admits that she was very popular when alive.

* While it didn't really show up in the comic (and probably never will) Her Imperial Condescension from Webcomic/{{Homestuck}} has one at the end of her and Meenah's shared theme song [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2gU_54ibyKM "Hate You"]].

* In one issue of ''Flying Suit Reiko'', after Mentos Freshmaker's psychotic ex-girlfriend lets out one of these, GenreSavvy OccidentalOtaku Bob decides to leave before things get out of hand.
