Disagreeing about JAFAAC - he's definitely got a goofy grin on his face. Keep Until Better Image Suggested.
Yeah, unwritten rule number one: follow all the unwritten procedures. - CamacanNo, actually, he's right. Ed is both literally and figuratively a great example of this trope, but merely having a derpy grin on doesn't show he's The Hyena. How about something like this?

"I like girls, but now, it's about justice."I have to admit, I like the laughing one better.
Fight smart, not fair.I kinda do too.
Nthing laughing pic.

Anyone who assigns themselves loads of character tropes is someone to be worried about.Here's a better shot of the same pic.
Yeah, that's good. And creepy.
Fight smart, not fair.^^+1 to that
I dont like it, The Visual Pun element is a bad thing, as it does not show what it is laughing at let alone that it is actually laughing. (it looks like its about to bite something)
This? (Caption ideas [1]◊ [2]◊)
EDIT: Alternate caption idea: "Come on it wasn't THAT funny, Sweat Drop"

Sparkling and glittering! Jan-Ken-Pon!That doesn't show what she's laughing at either. I think the problem with illustrating this trope is that we can't just have a character laughing; it needs to show that the character laughs at anything.

Reaction Image RepositoryThat art style makes my eyes water.
An Ear Worm is like a Rickroll: It is never going to give you up.Nthing the proper-sized Ed pic.

Alt account of Angeldog 2437.Go with Ed.
My only problem with the Ed pic is that the point of the trope is that this character laughs at everything. For all we know, somebody just told a joke, and that's what he's laughing at.
Reaction Image RepositoryGood point. We might want to go with Pancake's then.
"We are not a stuffy encyclopedic wiki. We're a buttload more informal".Of course, that picture is dangerously close to Laughing Mad...
Reaction Image RepositoryI think the straight jacket stops it from really being this trope.
Reality is that, which when you stop believing in it, doesn't go away. -Philip K. DickYeah, you're right. Noting the character, he really fits Laughing Mad more than this trope.
Reaction Image RepositoryPlease don't suggest replacing the Joker pic with that one...that's a can of worms I care nothing about opening.
Taking a tangent for a second...anyone got a source for the second quote on Laughing Mad? Google just turned up that page.
I'm not suggesting changing the picture at Laughing Mad; I'm just saying that the picture isn't a good one for this page because it shows Laughing Mad better than it does this trope, and we wouldn't want to confuse people. The pic that's on Laughing Mad now is fine.

Besides being JAFAAC, the added Visual Pun makes it extra-confusing.
