** Aurora Starlight from the sequel, ''Wings of Unity'', often makes a creepy laugh that may sometimes become more bombastic if things go particulary well for her.

[[AC:''Franchise/MyHeroAcademia'']]
* It is quite common to have Principal Nezu engage in this in ''My Hero Academia'' fanfics, mostly as part of his image as TheGadfly.
** In ''Fanfic/OneForAllAndEightForTheNinth'', after Izuku's RousingSpeech to Todoroki during the Sports Festival is leaked, Setsuna wonders aloud who was behind it. Izuku, Midnight, and Aizawa ''immediately'' finger Nezu as the culprit... and Nezu proceeds to connect the intercom just so the students can listen to his maniacal laughter.

Ok, I rewatched the scene where Rod Redline was killed and Professor Z didn't laugh evilly. So, that's actually a misconception. However, he did laugh evilly when he tried to kill Mc Queen and Mater.


* [[TheDragon Professor Z]] from ''WesternAnimation/Cars2'' can be heard laughing evilly during the scene where he and several Lemons blow up Rod "Torque" Redline.

* Volkswagen released an advertisement called "[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aFHvWMzG6gE Button]]" which features a variety of StockCharacter {{Classic Villain}}s, such as a character resembling Emperor Palpatine from ''Film/ReturnOfTheJedi'' blowing up a planet, a character who appears to be an amalgamation of [[Film/FromRussiaWithLove Rosa Klebb]] and Film/{{Goldfinger}} using a laser to torture a Franchise/JamesBond {{Expy}}, a stock BuddyCopShow villain who ties the heroes to a TimeBomb, a MadScientist resembling Dr. Frankenstein from, well, ''Film/{{Frankenstein}}'' and Rotwang from ''Film/{{Metropolis}}'' creating a monster, a {{Blaxploitation}} villain who drops a man through a trap door, and finally an ''Franchise/IndianaJones''-type villain sealing someone in a cave. Each character delivers a maniacal laugh. The ad closes with a normal looking man driving a Volkswagen Golf GTE and pressing a button that switches the engine from electric to electric and petrol. He drives away with a quiet cackle with the slogan "A more responsible use of power".

* It's hinted in ''Fanfic/AbraxasHrodvitnon'' that some of the times when Ghidorah's [[MultipleHeadCase heads]] produce their high-pitched roars (which ''Godzilla'' viewers have historically compared to deranged cackling), the heads really ''are'' cackling. In Ghidorah's backstory in ''Fanfic/AbraxasEmptyFullness'', both the San and Ichi heads cackle darkly in their [[AnimalTalk Kaiju Talk]] translations [[spoiler:when musing on getting their revenge on the [[AbusivePrecursors Makers]]]].
