- In Radio Silence, the Nosferatu Wendy discovers the presence of a Lasombra in Prince Isaac's court while in a room absolutely filled to the brim with Lasombra aesthetic — including a mirror with a smiley face drawn on it. To taunt them, Wendy draws this exact same smiley face in the dust in one of the drawers while they're beginning to suspect that she's sneaking around. Later on, while Wendy eavesdrops on one of Kaiser's bugs, Prince Isaac is getting wound up about it. The Lasombra should be quite alarmed as at this point in time the Lasombra were the enemy of the Camarilla, but he's laughing so hard the recording is overlaid with static. Later, the Lasombra taunts her right back about it.
- In the Better Bones AU, Mousewhisker is given the temporary dishonor title of Stupidhead by Bramblestar to show how, while no malice was intended, he didn't think through the implications of joining the Dark Forest at all. While it's meant to be a punishment and insult, Mousewhisker thinks it's funny and enjoys having the name.
- After a long, introspective talk in Commiseration, Sylvanas thanks Thrall for all he's done for the Forsaken. Thrall decides to lighten the mood by asking if he can call her "Sylvie" now. The question is so ridiculous that both break down laughing after a moment.
- A Darker Path: Taylor takes up the identity of Atropos, dark serial killer of Brockton Bay... and somehow still manages to get a laugh from the heroes on occasion, generally when she's making a shout-out.
- That Others May Tinker: Hookwolf turns up as reinforcements for Alabaster, and he's fully prepared to put Taylor in the ground, but seeing Alabaster being held down and repeatedly nonlethally shot in the face amuses him enough that he gives Taylor a ten-second head start.Hookwolf: While I want to get mad at you for disrespecting the Empire, I gotta admit, that’s a pretty funny sight to pull up to.
- In The SuperStarr Chronicles: Scott finds it actually amusing when Craig Starr is able to easily smack around the super-fast Pietro Maximoff.
- Between My Brother and Me: Mors Omnibus: Ayu Ayukawa decides to tear Himika Akaba apart because of how the Chairwoman spends more time and love on making her (heart-shaped) hair look pretty but does not show any love or compassion to her "adoptive" daughter Reira. The remark is so savage that Misty, Carly, Kiryu, and even Yusei can't help but laugh.
- A Mother's Touch:
- When Sylvio goes on a tangent that it's Reiji's idea to have Sylvio steal Yuya's Pendulum Cards, he explains that Reiji rewatched Yuya's duel against Sledgehammer as if binging a Korean drama. Yuzu has to resist snickering at that remark.
- Sylvio whines and bleats that Yuya (Yuto) did attack him, revealing his battle scar — a tiny scratch on his shoulder. Yoko, who is a former sukeban, can't help but laugh at how this scar is the reason Reiji stupidly tried to buy out her husband's school.
- In YuyaVision, José — the most stoic of the Wise Men of Yliaster, representing Apoira's despair of being one of the last few humans in existence — chuckles when Kiryu states that Yliaster HQ is "Hell".
