'''Inspector:''' Of course, you idiot! The pain in unbearable!

* ''The Inspector'' cartoon "Plastered In Paris" has the Inspector and Sgt. Deux Deux in their squad car chasing a villain named Mister X, who sprays a cloud of laughing gas at them. Unable to see, the Inspector and Deux Deux crash head-on into a telephone pole. Their following dialogue is delivered while they are laughing uncontrollably:
-->'''Deux Deux:''' I...I think I broke my leg!\\
'''Inspector:''' Oh, yes? I think I...I fractured my spine!\\
'''Deux Deux:''' Does...does it hurt?\\

* [[SuikodenII Luca Blight]]. His motto might as well be "You can't spell 'Slaughter' without 'Laughter'!"

* The slap-happy spider in the 1942 [[LooneyTunes Warner Bros. cartoon]] ''Meatless Flyday'' sees the fly he's trying to catch hiding out as a bride on a wedding cake:

* JackNicholson at the climax of ''Film/TheShining'' was partly this.

* Some ''Disney/{{Frozen}}'' fans decided to create a fan-made VillainSong [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RlZF0s7Leso "Let Them Run"]], set to the melody of "Let It Go" in which Anna giggles as she sings about murdering people ([[spoiler: including her sister Elsa]]} like it's as fun as building snowmen.

* Edward Dunn "Ned" Malone, the journalist in Arthur Conan Doyle's {{Literature/The Lost World}} when he shoots the ape-like creatures (called Doda by the Accala natives). However, he is the main hero of the book

* [[OmnicidalManiac Kid Buu]] from ''Anime/DragonBallZ'' for the most part can be summed up as "[[RuleOfThree Destroy, destroy, destroy and laugh, laugh and laugh]] some more."

** This is taken further in ''WebVideo/DragonBallZAbridged'' where Frieza has been satirised to overuse Black Humour, trying hard (and often failing) to entwine a witty joke into each of his murderous deeds, especially when flying with Nail, he persistently tries hard to get a reaction from Nail with his bad jokes and is continuously ignored.

Typical of the BloodKnight, the BoisterousBruiser, some AxCrazy characters, and some {{Sociopathic Hero}}es, but it can happen to anyone, especially during a HeroicBSOD, a HeroicSacrifice or a BolivianArmyEnding. It's rather exceptional for normal heroes, since usually there's something ''deeply wrong'' if TheCape is actually having fun killing people (unless they're trained to do so).

** [[spoiler:Eva-Beatrice]] at a bare minimum during her murder of [[spoiler:Rosa]], in ''VisualNovel/UminekoNoNakuKoroNi''. So much so that [[CruelAndUnusualDeath once just]] [[AFateWorseThanDeath wasn't enough]]. And actually, Beato herself quite a few times, although [[spoiler:it was stated in red that this was not the case]].

* Many lesser [[{{Mook}} mooks]] in ''Manga/FistOfTheNorthStar'' outright enjoy robbing and slaughtering the poor, and it's quite common for everyone of them to laugh while gutting their unfortunate victims.

* Miss Fortune from LeagueOfLegends will laugh maniacally when unleashing her BulletHell ultimate skill.

* Kevin "Maddog" Cameron from ''VideoGame/JaggedAlliance'' is a psychotic hick who can be hired by the player. He's prone to ignoring player orders when wielding burst fire weapons and loves fighting multiple enemies at once, and when his Morale gets high enough, he's prone to insane cackling while killing the Queen's men.

* In ''Manga/{{Berserk}}'', many people take sick pleasure in slaughter, but Guts is the Ichiban Supeshiiarisuto: [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-PE22PP4lKw Watch as he laughs his ass off while he swats babies to death with his BFS]].

* Rory Mercury from ''{{Gate}}'' laughs with glee as she fulfills her obligations as the Apostle to Emloy, the god of death.

* ''VisualNovel/HigurashiNoNakuKoroNi'': [[spoiler:Shion Sonozaki, during Meazaki-hen and thus Watanagashi-hen.]] There are pictures of her face with "You can't spell slaughter without laughter" captioned to them around on the internet, and she's pretty much the ''literal'' poster child for this trope.

* [[spoiler:Shion]] during her [[spoiler:torture of Satoko]] in ''VisualNovel/HigurashiNoNakuKoroNi''.

* Rory Mercury from ''{{Gate}}'' laughs with glee as she fulfills her obligations as the Apostle to Employ, the god of death.
