[[folder:Real Life]]
* Dutch celebrities Gerard Joling and Gordon, especially as portrayed [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=W-BmsADmYM0 here.]]
* British-Jamaican television chef Rustie Lee has a very loud, very distinctive laugh, and she can't seem stop herself doing it all the time.
* Spotted hyenas really do make a sound that's eerily similar to human laughter. [[UncannyValley It's one of the main reasons they're so creepy]]. They produce the sound when they're stressed, as seen [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ONFi8N2FQsc here,]] making them an example of TensionCuttingLaughter as well.
** Hyenas also make a creepy squealing sound when they are very happy, though this doesn't sound as much like laughter and is rarely heard, usually only when meeting a friend they haven't seen in a long time.
* Some foxes make laughing sounds when they are happy. [[https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=wTS0A-ZN3os Here is one viral video]] of an a pet arctic fox appearing to literally roll on the floor laughing in response to a human laughing. Since foxes tend to [[CuteButCacophonic scream a lot no matter what they are feeling]] it can be difficult to tell the difference between happy and angry sounds.

* SantaClaus is usually depicted as having a distinct laugh that he breaks into frequently, usually written as "Ho, Ho, Ho."
[[/folder]]

* The Series/{{Teletubbies}} always laugh. Even the sun laughs.

[[caption-width-right:300: [[VisualPun Ooh, double points!]]]]

* Ethan "Behzinga" Payne of the WebVideo/{{Sidemen}} laughs so hard and so much that this trope is his defining trait. Fellow Sideman Creator/{{KSI}} is not far behind him.

* In Creator/AAPessimal's ''Literature/{{Discworld}}'', zoologist [[AmoralAfrikaner Johanna Smith-Rhodes]] feels obliged to explain a few fine points to an Ankh-Morporkian audience concerning life on the [[UsefulNotes/SouthAfrica Rimwards Howondalandian]] veldt.[[note]]Giving a great big TakeThat to ''WesternAnimation/TheLionKing1994 in the process[[/note]] She patiently points out that animals do not think like us and any romantic notion of a Lion King reigning over his loyal and obedient subjects is utter anthopomorphic nonsense. From the point of view of a wildebeest, for instance, it might be hard to express fealty to a liege-lord who has just slain and devoured your young. And it's not as if there's a huddle of rebellious hyenas getting together on the edge of the veldt and plotting to overthrow the monarchy so as to usher in a glorious revolutionary Hyena Republic. ''Animals do not think that way.''

** Laurence "Moe" Curls in ''And Justice for All''. Bad for his career, as he's a clown, and nobody else finds his jokes funny.
** In ''Investigations'', Calisto Yew cracks up often, usually at the way Edgeworth [[SesquipedalianLoquaciousness talks.]] [[spoiler:This lets you know Shih-na's true identity during her VillainousBreakdown in the final case, as she takes LaughingMad and crosses it with SlasherSmile.]]
** When he reveals himself as the BigBad of the second game, [[spoiler: Simon Keyes]] also enjoys a good laugh at Edgeworth's expense. Appropriately enough, [[spoiler: he's dressed as a clown]].

* A literal hyena starts laughing hysterically in ''WesternAnimation/LadyAndTheTramp'' after seeing Lady nearly getting her head bitten off from trying to get an alligator to help her remove her muzzle. Tramp then says "If anybody needs a muzzle, it's him".

Incidentally, the inspiration for this trope, spotted hyenas (''Crocuta crocuta''), aren't really laughing when they make their infamous vocalizations. It appears to be a form of communication used mostly when fighting for food or in social conflict. For actual hyenas portrayed in a negative light, see HeinousHyena. Also, the Hyena is often the [[OnlyOneFindsItFun sole exception]] to a ToughRoom.

* Cyclonus from ''Anime/TransformersArmada''.

* ''LightNovel/HaruhiSuzumiya'': Tsuruya tends to burst into loud laughter at everything she finds even slightly humorous. Her first appearance in the show has her utterly fail to stay in character while making Haruhi's [[ShowWithinAShow student film]] because she's laughing too hard. She spends the rest of the scene laughing hysterically while Kyon does snarky narration.
* Waji in ''Anime/HareGuu'', has a rather creepy hyena like laugh. Apparently he believes laughing makes your worries go away. He was even compared to a hyena once. Interestingly there are a few hints he has a troubled home life, like being found in the middle of the night in the jungle, crying to himself.
* Elmer from ''LightNovel/{{Baccano}}'' is always laughing or at least smiling, and spends his long life trying to make everyone else smile. He does this even when this would be completely inappropriate, such as just after the person has gone through a traumatic event, making it seem like there's something seriously wrong with him.
* Sakamoto from ''Manga/{{Gintama}}''. He wasn't always like that though.
* Patti from ''Manga/SoulEater''. ''The Sun'' is also usually depicted as laughing.

* ''Anime/DragonBallZ'': Pure Boo (or Kid Buu in the US) very rarely says a word, and most of the sounds he utters are either insane screeches or maniacal laughter.
* Clair Leonelli from ''Anime/HeatGuyJ'', and his [[LaughingMad maniacal laughter]]... which even [[Creator/DaisukeSakaguchi sounds]] [[Creator/JohnnyYongBosch like]] a hyena!

* The OneSceneWonder that was Ash's (temporary) Haunter in ''Anime/{{Pokemon}}''. It thinks ''everything'' is funny.
* [[AxeCrazy Jan]] [[PsychoForHire Valentine]] from ''Manga/{{Hellsing}}''. Seriously, he sounds ''utterly deranged'' in the dub.
* The narrator in ''Anime/SerialExperimentsLain'': "Present day, present time. [=HAHAHAHAhahahaha=]!!!
* Mikihisa Komaki of ''LightNovel/LibraryWar'' is almost always at least smiling or chuckling. When something's actually funny he has to really hold back to not completely crack up.
* ''Anime/PuellaMagiMadokaMagica'': If it's not her familiars, [[TheDreaded Walpurgisnacht's]] presence is almost always hailed by her delirious laughter. [[spoiler:Even while she's being blasted out of existence by Madoka.]]

* ComicBook/TheJoker, a quintessential MonsterClown, laughs at everything, especially death, destruction, and despair. Life is a joke to him, and all ironies are equally funny in his mind. He even known to laugh maniacally when he's the one on the receiving end. His mirth is so much that, [[SarcasmFailure when he stops laughing]], [[OOCIsSeriousBusiness it's a surefire sign that]] [[EndOfTheWorldAsWeKnowIt things are as bad as they can get]]. One of the few things he doesn't find funny is someone [[DontExplainTheJoke explaining the joke]]. In fact this is one of his {{Berserk Button}}s.
** In ''Film/TheDarkKnight'', [[spoiler:Batman threw him off a building and he laughed hysterically on the way down]].
*** He also does this in the comics, in the arc "Lovers and Madmen", only [[spoiler:rather than being thrown, he delibrately steps off]], just to see if Batman will save him, despite having just gone on his very first rampage through Gotham City. This being, at the time, the official first encounter between the Joker and Batman, he survives, obviously. Not sure whether this example, or the Dark Knight, came first.
*** He also does it in the video game, ''VideoGame/BatmanArkhamOrigins.'' Apparently, he seems to think falling out of buildings is hysterical.
* During the [[ComicBook/AmalgamUniverse Amalgam Comics]] crossover event for Marvel and DC, the Darkclaw, a hybrid of Franchise/{{Batman}} and ComicBook/{{Wolverine}}, fought the Hyena, a cross between ComicBook/{{Sabretooth}} and ComicBook/TheJoker that was basically a shirtless Joker on 'roids and a healing factor.

* ''WesternAnimation/RaggedyAnnAndAndyAMusicalAdventure'' has Sir Leonard Looney and the other citizens of Looney Land, who seem to find ''everything'' uproariously funny. It's implied King Koo Koo's constantly-laughng courtiers were former victims of the king's tendency to constantly prank others and laugh at their misfortune, which seems rather karmic given [[SurroundedByIdiots how much their constant laughter annoys him]].

* ''Film/ThreeNinjas:'' Ishikawa, TheDragon in ''Kick Back,'' is prone to mean-spirited, braying laughs.
* In ''Film/{{Freaked}}'', the ManBehindTheMan's dialogue over the telephone is nothing but {{Evil Laugh}}ter, which villain Elijah C. Skuggs can somehow understand just fine:
-->'''Skuggs:''' "I--I'm sorry, can you spell that for me?"
-->'''Codename: Laughing Man:''' "Ha. Hoo. Hee. Heh. Hah."
-->'''Skuggs:''' "Okay, got it."
* Uncle Albert in Disney's ''Film/MaryPoppins''. He even sings a song about it!
* ''Franchise/StarWars: Film/ReturnOfTheJedi'': Salacious Crumb, Jabba's imp-like minion/pet, always giggles when his master does something sadistic.

* The Daffy mogwai/gremlin from ''Film/Gremlins2TheNewBatch''.
* Johnny laughs at all kinds of unfunny things in ''Film/TheRoom''. One particular example is a scene where Mark tells a story about a girl who ''ended up in the hospital'' because one of her multiple boyfriends found out about her affairs. It's ''fucking weird''. What he says is "What a story", implying the story might sound far-fetched to him.

* The weasels in ''Film/WhoFramedRogerRabbit''. [[spoiler:Results in their demise]]. [[LampshadeHanging Judge Doom mentions that the weasels had some "idiot hyena cousins"]].
-->'''Judge Doom:''' One of these days, [[{{Foreshadowing}} you idiots are going to laugh yourselves to death]]!
* ''Film/TheGreatRace'': Prince Hoepnick (Jack Lemmon) is a cheerful fellow, loving the life he's living, constantly drunk, and punctuates nearly every sentence he says with a loud braying laugh. [=HaHAAAHhahaaa=]!

* Dicko, one of the psycho pet food hunters in ''Film/{{Razorback}}'', has an incredibly annoying laugh and will burst into laughter for seemingly no reason at all.
* The title character -- a FunPersonified [[TheAlcoholic heavily-drinking]] IdleRich millionaire -- in 1981's ''Film/{{Arthur 1981}}'' is heard cackling before he's even seen in the opening sequence. He laughs to punctuate his jokes, he laughs when he falls out of his car at the Plaza Hotel, he laughs ''in his sleep''...
* In ''Film/BankShot'', El has a disturbing habit of bursting into laughter, even when nothing funny has occurred. It takes Ballentine by surprise more than once.

* In the kung fu movie ''Film/TheFearlessHyena'', Creator/JackieChan develops a fighting style all about [[ObfuscatingInsanity confusing his enemies]] through hysterical, uncomfortable laughter.
* ''Film/{{Amadeus}}'' plays Music/WolfgangAmadeusMozart as an immature frat boy with a near-constant AnnoyingLaugh. This makes his [[BunnyEarsLawyer absolute undeniable genius]] all the more infuriating to those around him.

* ''[[Literature/OldMansWar The Ghost Brigades]]'' gives us Sarah Pauling. While most of her fellow recruits [[NoSenseOfHumor have a huge problem with trying to grasp humor]], she finds pretty much every joke hysterically funny. Eventually they figure out that she doesn't actually get the jokes, but she finds the fact that [[TheComicallySerious nobody else does either]] to be immensely funny.
* ''Literature/LiveAndLetDie'' has Tee Hee Johnson, who is noted for his tendency to chuckle and giggle to himself for little or no good reason.

* Sejanus, attendant to the eponymous ''[[Literature/TheQueensThief King of Attolia]]'', hates the man he works for and takes every opportunity to make him look like an idiot. He always laughs at the outcome, whether the joke lands on him or the king.

* The '90s ''Series/TheUntouchables'' series had some petty criminal who was laughing nervously, even as Capone's men beat him up. But that was [[LaughingMad more hysteria than humor]].
* Ashton in the North American ''[[Series/NorthAndSouthUS North and South]]'' series. Humiliated her rival? Laughs. Held at swordpoint by her own sister? Laughs. Surrounded by the smoldering remains of her burning lair, with her demented lover (supposedly) burning to death underneath? [[LaughingMad Laughs]].
* ''Series/StarTrekTheNextGeneration'': Data remarks that the Holodeck audience for his comedy routine setting is ''literally'' programmed to laugh at anything.

* The team of Anne-Marie and Tracy from ''Series/TheAmazingRace Australia'' are having such a good time on the race that they just do not stop laughing.

* There's one infamous video from the early days of ''Series/AmericasFunniestHomeVideos'' of a man just busting a gut the entire clip and ''no one knows what he was laughing at!''

* An episode of ''Series/FatherTed'' has a character who laughs so constantly he can never finish a sentence. We meet him recounting an anecdote to a travelling companion about himself and Ted (which turns out to simply be an unremarkable case of someone losing his slippers). Ted asks the companion how long their car journey was together, and the poor man tells him it was four hours with a look of shellshock on his face.
* Johnathan Pearce from Robot Wars has a tendency to break off into Hyena Cackles whenever he can, usually at the sight of destruction. Take from that what you will...
* From 1968, a segment of ''Series/RowanAndMartinsLaughIn'' presented Ruth Buzzi (as "Miss Snooky Lanson") performing "Holiday For Strings" laughing in tempo with the music.

* The booker of Magnificent Championship Wrestling, who has booked you to fail, Nicky Martin, Ra Hah Hah![[/folder]]

* Harvey Kneeslapper from ''Series/SesameStreet''. The character was eventually dropped because the laugh was destroying Frank Oz's voice. Averted on at least one occasion, when one of his practical jokes backfired on him; his would-be victim ended up laughing at ''him'', and he naturally failed to see the humor.
* Creator/TimCurry's portrayal of Long John Silver in ''Film/MuppetTreasureIsland'' is a creepy hyena. At first, his laughs seem to just be the jovial nature of a simple ship's cook. As his true colors start to shine through, it starts to feel more and more menacing each time he starts.

* The Series/{{Teletubbies}} always laugh. Even the sun laughs.
* With respect to the Teletubbies, Tilly, Tom, and Tiny from ''Series/TotsTV'' and ''Series/RosieAndJim'' also made by the same company also seem to laugh a lot.

* ''Radio/CarTalk'' hosts Tom and Ray Magliozzi are well known and frequently self-deprecating of their laughter, and listeners have written in to describe things like their laugh being used to draw flocks of sheep.

* ''VideoGame/{{Persona 4}}'''s Yukiko Amagi regularly has laughing fits that can last for several minutes. The one exception: even ''she'' doesn't laugh at Teddie's jokes. (The funny-nose glasses, though, leave her helpless). Chie actually calls her a "Crazy Hyena" at one point.
* Laughing Octopus of ''VideoGame/MetalGearSolid4GunsOfThePatriots'' is an AxeCrazy example. Both of these traits are reactions to [[BreakTheCutie mind-raping trauma]].
* Another AxCrazy example is Aran Ryan from ''VideoGame/PunchOut'' Wii, who laughs [[TooKinkyToTorture even as you beat the crap out of him]]. The only thing he ''won't'' laugh at is a Star Punch -- those actually hurt him.
* The Jockey from ''VideoGame/Left4Dead2'' does literally nothing else. Out of all the Special Infected, the Jockey will probably become the one you want to kill the most, just to shut it the hell up.

* This is the reason one undead minion in ''VideoGame/AdventureQuestWorlds'' was given the name of Chuckles.
* Xan from ''Videogame/DragonFable''. Half his lines are manic laughs.
* ''VideoGame/{{Killer7}}'': The Heaven Smile play this for pure NightmareFuel. Their creator, BigBad Kun Lan, is certainly no slouch in this department either.

* Hazama of ''VideoGame/BlazBlue'' is a complete axe-fucking-crazy version of this.

* Henry from ''VideoGame/FireEmblemAwakening''. His Sorcerer class victory animations are of him laughing while the enemy dies, and one of his CriticalHit quotes is nothing but gleeful laughter.
* The Jester in ''VideoGame/DarkestDungeon'' laughs quite often, especially when he lands a critical hit. Goes right into LaughingMad territory when he is under [[DespairEventHorizon some]] [[SanitySlippage afflictions]].
-->'''Narrator:''' He will be laughing still, at the end.
* The Collector in ''VideoGame/HollowKnight'' cackles through his entire boss fight, with particularly loud laughter when you defeat him.

* [=Chiesta410=] in ''VisualNovel/UminekoWhenTheyCry'' laughs in every scene. Even when things are going badly and her sisters are panicking, she isn't so surprised that she can't chuckle about it.

* Misha of ''VisualNovel/KatawaShoujo''. Her signature "WAHAHA~!" is instantly recognizable by just about every player of the game.

* Volume Four of ''WebAnimation/{{RWBY}}'' introduced Tyrian Callows, one of the [[BigBad Big Bad's]] EliteFour. [[AxCrazy A violent psychopath]], Tyrian frequently flips between [[GigglingVillain giggling]] and [[LaughingMad hysterical]] [[EvilLaugh laughter]] whenever the thought or opportunity for violence presents itself to him.

* ''Webcomic/BittersweetCandyBowl'' has Rachel.
* The Hyenas in ''Webcomic/FoxyFlavoredCookie'' laugh a lot.

* Both Vinny and Joel of WebVideo/{{Vinesauce}} are known for their extremely contagious laughter; Vinny's laughs range from extremely loud snorting to explosive belly laughs, while Joel's laughter has been regularly described by viewers as "being able to cure cancer".

* Thanks to ''Fails of the Weak'', Geoff Ramsey of Creator/RoosterTeeth and Creator/AchievementHunter became known for this. And in the gang's Let's Plays videos, you can always count on everyone to break out into hysterical laughter at least once.

* ''LetsPlay/{{Dream}}'' laughs at everything whenever he's playing with his friends (who aren't hunting him). [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lAS8I5KoVDc See their X-ray challenge video for a good example.]]

* LetsPlay/{{Jayuzumi}} is a variation. ''He'' rarely laughs personally, since he uses a soundboard, but many people that get the joke will laugh their heads off.
* Ethan "Behzinga" Payne of the WebVideo/{{Sidemen}} laughs so hard and so much that this trope is his defining trait. Fellow Sideman Creator/{{KSI}} is not far behind him.
* In most videos on the ''WebVideo/HydraulicPressChannel'', cackling is often the only thing Anni, the wife of the channel's host, says during the whole video. She's often laughing at her husband's ridiculously deadpan commentary, his English pronunciation, or the results of the presses.
* ''WebVideo/UNHhhh'': Creator/TrixieMattel frequently makes her co-host Creator/{{Katya}} break into wheezy, death-rattle, smoker laughter. There is [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cZZ51qSHYcE a compilation.]]
* There isn't much that the ''LetsPlay/HoboBros'' ''don't'' find funny. They keep laughing throughout most of their videos, when they're not struggling with a hard game (and even sometimes when they ''are''.) In one particular Hobo Theater video, Kevin kept laughing harder and harder until he started crying, and unashamedly admitted it.
* One of the defining traits of ''WebVideo/ComedyShortsGamer''. According to some of his fans, his laugh can cure depression.
* Many of the talents from ''WebAnimation/{{Hololive}}'' are pretty free with their laughter, but of note is Ookami Mio who is pretty famous for her wheezing fits and the extreme ease of getting her there.
* ''WebVideo/OutsideXbox'': Ellen is an infamous laugher, and her co-host Luke is a master of deadpan comedy. Any appearance will usually end with Ellen in stitches.

* ''WesternAnimation/TheSimpsons'':
** Dr. Hibbert laughs at everything, and anything he ''doesn't'' find funny is usually the subject of a TakeThat. This got [[LampshadeHanging lampshaded]] by "Bleeding Gums" Murphy in his last episode, when he refers to his brother (given up for adoption) that always laughed at inappropriate times. [[SpeakOfTheDevil Cue Dr. Hibbert]].
--->'''Dr. Hibbert:''' That appears to be a Ford urinating on a Chevrolet.\\
'''Mrs. Hibbert:''' Don't you usually laugh at everything?\\
'''Dr. Hibbert:''' Yes. I ''usually'' do.
** The sole purpose of Nelson is to laugh at others misfortunes.

* ''WesternAnimation/ThePerilsOfPenelopePitstop'': Yak Yak, one of the Ant Hill Mob, always laughs at everything, even and especially when they're all doomed.
* Dan from ''WesternAnimation/{{Undergrads}}'' literally only ever laughs. That's all he ever does. To the point that other characters are beginning to wonder whether he's mentally deficient.

-->"YOU SAID 'PU', AND THEN 'DDING'!"

* One of the crooks in ''WesternAnimation/COPSAnimatedSeries'' is a deadly prankster ''called'' Hyena. According to his toy's ActionFigureFileCard, he used to be a stand-up comedian, but couldn't stop laughing at his own jokes (which, by all accounts, weren't even funny in the first place).
* Bill and Fosse from ''WesternAnimation/SouthPark'', the two boys who call everything "gay". They are always laughing Beavis and Butthead style, even when bad things happen to them.
* Genie's Laughter from the ''WesternAnimation/AladdinTheSeries'' episode "The Seven Faces Of Genie" according to him everything's a riot and will go into fits of laughter for often no reason, and he spoke in a British accent for some reason.
* Dr. Wily from the ''WesternAnimation/MegaMan'' TV Series. His laughter is wacky and insane, but can be just creepy in some scenes.
* Octopus Man from ''WesternAnimation/RickAndMorty''. He's onscreen for a grand total of about 90 seconds, and about two thirds of those seconds involve him giggling.
* Bubbles from ''WesternAnimation/ThePowerpuffGirls''. Her ''[[EstablishingCharacterMoment very first line]]''[[note]]Her first line in the movie, not the series, but the movie takes place before the series[[/note]] was a laugh. In fact, this is the reason why she has that name, because of how "bubbly" she is.
* The ''WesternAnimation/{{Jem}}'' episode "Journey Through Time" portrayed Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart as laughing hysterically at random intervals.
* ''WesternAnimation/TheLoudHouse'' has Luan Loud, who is a comedienne and laughs when she says a pun or joke, then says "Get it?". Though she makes an effort to tone it down a bit as the show goes on.

* LetsPlay/TommyInnit is this. In spades. Ironically, the videos in which he laughs least are his "You Laugh, You Lose" challenges. This especially shows in ''LetsPlay/TheFunniestMinecraftVideosEver''.

She also expresses some dismay that their son seems to have picked it up.

** In ''Investigations'', Calisto Yew. [[spoiler:This lets you know who Shih-na really is when confronting her and also during her VillainousBreakdown in the final case, she takes LaughingMad and crosses it with SlasherSmile.]]

** When he reveals himself as the BigBad of the second game, [[spoiler: Simon Keyes]] also enjoys a good laugh at Edgeworth's expense. Appropriately enough [[spoiler: he's dressed as a clown]].

* Though more just a part of her general wierdness, Luna Lovegood from ''Literature/{{HarryPotter}}'' breaks into a huge shrieking fit of laughter from a small joke Ron made on their first meeting. Understandably, he thinks she is making fun of him.

* Hans's father, who howls with laughter all the way to guillotine, in ''Film/FrankensteinCreatedWoman''.

* Johnny laughs at all kinds of unfunny things in ''Film/TheRoom''. One particular example is a scene where Mark tells a story about a girl who ''ended up in hospital'' because one of her multiple boyfriends found out about her affairs. It's ''fucking weird''. What he says is "What a story", implying the story might sound far-fetched to him.

* Trusty Patches\Patches the Hyena from ''VideoGame/DarkSouls'' laughs after every line of dialogue. [[spoiler: It's Probably because he finds the idea of kicking you down a pit to kill you and take your stuff really funny.]]

* Neal in ComicBook/{{Blacksad}} is a hyena and a parrot lampshades that he doesn't laugh much for one. Neal actually laughs a lot it's just the parrot kept making dumb racist comments toward black people and Neal could see Blacksad getting angered over it despite the parrot going "no offense to you".

* ''WesternAnimation/TheIncredibles'' has Jack-Jack, who is a cheerful child by default. He tends to giggle whenever he unleashes a new power or in response to the panic he tends to cause the adults and older children.
