| 16 | ->''"You put your whole self into that laugh, don't you?"'' |
| 17 | -->-- '''Marcia Jeffries''' to Lonesome Rhodes, ''Film/AFaceInTheCrowd'' |
| 18 | |
| 19 | There are some unique laughs that, when imitated by anyone, immediately bring to mind a single person. It may be an AnnoyingLaugh or an EvilLaugh, it may be the sounds/words used, its [[ContagiousLaughter tendency to catch on with anyone around]], or the fact that it's [[DissonantLaughter at a terribly inappropriate time]], but everyone knows who it's connected to. When this happens, this person has a Signature Laugh. |
| 20 | |
| 21 | It doesn't count if it reminds you of a ''type'' of person (like the NoblewomansLaugh), nor just a ''type'' of laugh (like TheHyena). It must be an individual who springs immediately to mind when it's heard. Can overlap somewhat with VerbalTic. |
| 22 | |
| 23 | Some of these sounds are difficult to translate onto a page, but when you hear them, you know. |
| 24 | |
| 25 | Compare AnnoyingLaugh, EvilLaugh, LaughingMad. |

| 33 | [[folder:Advertising]] |
| 34 | * [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=46azV0isnyc The Jolly Green Giant's]] musical "Ho ho ho!" Spelled the same as Santa's but very different. |
| 35 | * [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=n3J2jDQ9cOEsnyc The Pillsbury Doughboy's]] giggle in response to having his tummy poked. |
| 36 | * Chuck E. Cheese has a New Jersey-ish "Heheheheheh!" |
| 37 | [[/folder]] |
| 38 | |
| 39 | [[folder:Anime & Manga]] |
| 40 | * ''Manga/The100GirlfriendsWhoReallyReallyReallyReallyReallyLoveYou'': |
| 41 | ** Shizuka uses the phrase "She laughed aloud" with the text-to-speech app on her phone to indicate laughter on her part. Even in the middle of being ''tickled.'' |
| 42 | ** Implied with Ahko. Her reaction to Kusuri's laughing drug suggests that her catchphrase, "That sends me", is supposed to be her laughing. It's clearer in the original Japanese, where her catchphrase is instead slang for "lol". |
| 43 | * ''Anime/{{Aggretsuko}}'': Fenneko's extremely deadpan and bored-sounding [[https://youtu.be/5Oa2A09yHts?t=20s "hahahahahahahahaha"]] is a notable one; something about how dead it sounds makes it a pretty good {{Troll}} laugh. |
| 44 | * ''Manga/AssassinationClassroom'': Korosensei's amused, smug, or mocking chuckle is always rendereded as "Nurufufufufu~" and also appears in the anime, albeit sounding a bit more like "Nyeheheheheh~" due to his accent. |
| 45 | * Chiyo Mihama in ''Manga/AzumangaDaioh'' has a distinctly childish giggle, written in the manga as "Ehehehe!" |
| 46 | * ''Manga/BlackButler'': Tanaka's meek "Ho ho ho" is the only sound he makes while [[SuperDeformed in chibi mode.]] |
| 47 | * ''Manga/{{Bleach}}'' has Don Kanonji, whose signature is striking a pose and going, "BO-HA-HA-HA-HA!" |
| 48 | * Ryuk from ''Manga/DeathNote'': "Hyuk hyuk hyuk!" Light Yagami's typical EvilLaugh even became a MemeticMutation. |
| 49 | * ''Manga/DragonBall'': |
| 50 | ** Goku's "hehehe" in the Japanese version. It becomes more pronounced in adulthood. In the English dub he's given a unique "hahaha" laugh. |
| 51 | ** [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lBQs-3c24AU Master Roshi]] has a laugh that you can recognize from a mile away. |
| 52 | ** Frieza's distinctive "Oh ho ho ho ho!", closely resembling the NoblewomansLaugh. |
| 53 | * Kelly Yatsufusa from ''Literature/EtsusaBridge'', with her "Heehahahaha!". |
| 54 | * Early villain Everlue from ''Manga/FairyTail'' had a memorable laugh, "Boyoyoyoyo". |
| 55 | * In ''Anime/{{Gintama}}'', Sakamoto Tatsuma's laugh is very distinct, very frequent and (in-universe, at least) very, ''very'' [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yy1lUiuizHk annoying.]] |
| 56 | * Tsuruya from ''Literature/HaruhiSuzumiya''. |
| 57 | * ''Webcomic/HetaliaAxisPowers'': |
| 58 | ** Prussia from has the rather unique "Kesesesesese". |
| 59 | ** In the dub, France has "onhonhonhon", the stereotypical French laugh. |
| 60 | ** Some fans use "kolkolkolkol" as Russia's laugh and "fusosososo" as Spain's laugh, but they are actually a MadnessMantra and a "cheer-up charm" respectively. Russia's actual [[StepfordSmiler "laugh"]] is [[GigglingVillain "ufufufu~"]] (or "uhuhuhu") |
| 61 | ** America's "DDDDDDDD"... no, that's [[{{Emoticon}} not]] how it's actually pronounced. The anime/drama [=CD=]s just go with a loud rhythmic "Ha ha ha ha!" |
| 62 | ** Poland has "WAHAHAHA!" |
| 63 | * ''Anime/HugttoPrettyCure'': Ranze Ichijo has an exaggerated NoblewomansLaugh: "OHHH-hohohohoho!". Upon first hearing it, Homare is surprised people still laugh like that. |
| 64 | * ''Literature/ICouldntBecomeAHeroSoIReluctantlyDecidedToGetAJob'': [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uAM4T8C91Lw Fino]]. Her laugh is [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=phXJ3BYG0Ak quite consistent]] too. |
| 65 | * ''Manga/JoJosBizarreAdventure'' has Gyro Zeppeli’s “Nyo-ho!”. |
| 66 | * ''Manga/{{Kinnikuman}}'': Ashuraman's "Ka ka ka ka ka" laugh is so deeply associated with him that it's featured in his VillainSong. |
| 67 | * ''Manga/KotaroLivesAlone'': Karino's editor, who has a permanently expressionless face and voice, has also a very flat and joyless "Hahahahaha" laugh that doubles as a catchphrase. |
| 68 | * Almost every major character in ''Manga/OnePiece'' has a unique laugh. Villains especially. [[http://onepiece.wikia.com/wiki/Laughter_Style Here is a list.]] Giants in particular always seem to have some incredibly strange laughs. |
| 69 | * ''Anime/PokemonTheSeries'': Due to how PokemonSpeak works, Haunter has what sounds like a [[MauriceChevalierAccent stereotypical nasal French laugh]]. |
| 70 | * ''Anime/PuellaMagiMadokaMagica'': Kaname Madoka's Wehihihi is an onomatopoeia of that little giggle of hers. Japanese fanworks naturally follow this and literally write it as ウェヒヒヒヒ. |
| 71 | * Yotsuba Nakano in ''Manga/TheQuintessentialQuintuplets'' sometimes giggles "Shishishi" when she's up to something mischievous. Doubles as a pun since "Shi" is an AlternateCharacterReading for the number 4 in Japanese, and she's the fourth amongst her sisters. |
| 72 | * ''Manga/RanmaOneHalf'': Kodachi Kuno's (high-pitched in the anime) "ohohohohohohohoho". Her appearance is always accompanied or heralded with that laugh. |
| 73 | * ''Literature/ReincarnatedAsThePiggyDukeThisTimeImGonnaTellHerHowIFeel'': Fitting his title as "Piggy Duke", Slowe has a laugh that sounds like a pig oinking. |
| 74 | * In ''Anime/SamuraiSeven'' every time [[DeadpanSnarker Okara]] makes a snide comment she follows it with a SHSHSHSHSH hissing laugh |
| 75 | * Captain V2 Gundam from ''Anime/SDGundamWorldHeroes'' usually utters a proud-sounding "''Dooooaaaah-ha-ha-ha!''" in response to most situations. |
| 76 | * Kururu in ''Manga/SgtFrog'' has his signature "Ku ku ku ku" giggle. Hell, all of the Keronians do: Keroro = "Kerokerokero!", Giroro = "Girogirogiro!", Tamama = "Tamatamatama!". |
| 77 | * Kusukusu of ''Manga/ShugoChara'' has a distinctive laugh that sounds much like her MeaningfulName. In Japanese, kusukusu is onomatopoeia for giggling. |
| 78 | * In ''Anime/StrikeWitches'', Sakamoto Mio had a signature laugh in the first season, when she was played by Chiba Saeko (Ha! Ha! Ha!). In the second season, Chiba was unavailable to play the character, so she was played by Seto Saori, who didn't use the laugh. |
| 79 | * ''Anime/YuGiOh'': Weevil Underwood/Insector Haga's laugh is written as "Hyo hyo hyo!" in the manga and the video games. |
| 80 | [[/folder]] |
| 81 | |
| 82 | [[folder:Comic Books]] |
| 83 | * ''ComicBook/BlueBeetle'': Ted Kord always has his laughter written as "BWAH-HA-HA-HA" This laugh is so memorable that the entire ''ComicBook/JusticeLeagueInternational'' era is often referred to as the "Bwah-Ha-Ha Era". |
| 84 | * ''ComicBook/TheCreeper'': Some versions of the Creeper have their own unique laugh. Some of them [[BrownNote can drive a man mad.]] |
| 85 | * ''ComicBook/TheFlash'': [[Characters/TheFlashEobardThawne Eobard Thawne]] for whatever reason liked to go "Ha-haaa!" in his first appearance, every so often. |
| 86 | * ''ComicBook/{{Viz}}'': "Fnarr, Fnarr, Fnarr!" will forever be associated with the character Finbarr Saunders. Usually it was unleashed whenever he noticed a DoubleEntendre, however convoluted. |
| 87 | * ''ComicBook/WonderWoman [[ComicBook/WonderWoman1942 Volume 1]]'': Villain and misogynistic slave owner Uvo's "Ho-hoe!" laugh. |
| 88 | [[/folder]] |
| 89 | |
| 90 | [[folder:Fan Works]] |
| 91 | * ''Fanfic/ThisBites'': It's a ''One Piece'' fanfic, so this trope is very common. |
| 92 | ** Noteworthy, however, in that [[SelfInsertFic Cross]] has one: |
| 93 | --->'''Cross:''' PFFFFHAHAHAHAHAHAHA! |
| 94 | ** As a VoiceChangeling, Soundbite has a lot of laughing styles, but his most common is a combination of 'Hee's, 'Hoo's, and 'Ha's. |
| 95 | ** Lassoo's laugh is "Hweehweehwee", taken directly from Muttley of Wacky Races. |
| 96 | ** Su's laugh is "Tseeheeheehee". |
| 97 | ** [[spoiler: Dragon's is "Shishishishi"]], just like his son. |
| 98 | ** [[spoiler: Hancock's]] is "Snahahaha". |
| 99 | ** Monet's is "Yukeeheeheehee". |
| 100 | ** [[spoiler: [[WhenSheSmiles When she laughs genuinely,]] Robin laughs just like Saul.]] |
| 101 | ---> [[spoiler: '''Robin: ''' Dereshishishi!]] |
| 102 | * Another ''One Piece'' fanfic, ''Fanfic/TwelveRedLines'', gives her self-insert one of those: |
| 103 | -->'''Jones:''' Sesehihihi! |
| 104 | * ''Fanfic/PersonaTheSougawaFiles'': |
| 105 | ** Tamiko Maeda, the group's MissionControl and resident {{Chuunibyou}}, has one: "Kuhuhuhuhuhu!" |
| 106 | ** Both Shadow Rina and Shadow Ryouichi share "Ohohohohohoho!" |
| 107 | * ''Fanfic/OSMUFanfictionFriction'': Todd's EvilLaugh ("EEEHAHAHAHAHA!") is considered to be his signature one, but he doesn't take kindly to people asking him to "do the laugh". |
| 108 | --> '''Omar:''' Y'gotta hear this guy's villain laugh, it's ''so'' creepy... |
| 109 | --> '''Todd:''' ''[pointedly] It's just the way I laugh, okay?'' |
| 110 | * As a nod to her appearance in the fairly wacky ''Rockman Zero'' manga, [[VideoGame/MegaManZero Leviathan]] in ''Fanfic/ManehattansLoneGuardian'' has "Kyahahahaha!" as her default laugh. |
| 111 | [[/folder]] |
| 112 | |
| 113 | [[folder:Films -- Live-Action]] |
| 114 | * Music/WolfgangAmadeusMozart's AnnoyingLaugh in ''Film/{{Amadeus}}'' announces his presence whenever he's in the area. |
| 115 | %%* Dr. Evil from ''Film/AustinPowers''. %%No context |
| 116 | * ''Film/BeverlyHillsCop'': [[Creator/EddieMurphy Axel Foley]] has a distinctive "Hee-Haw" donkey-like laugh, to the point where it was featured in the promos. |
| 117 | * Sid James's dirty laugh was a staple of the ''Film/CarryOn'' films. |
| 118 | * Creator/MauriceChevalier's iconic "hon hon hon" laugh, which has become the standard way French FunnyForeigner people laugh in comedy. |
| 119 | * [[{{Slimeball}} Harry Ellis]] in ''Film/DieHard'' only laughs once, but it's a drawn-out laugh that fits his yuppie personality. |
| 120 | * Renfield, as played by Creator/DwightFrye in ''Film/{{Dracula|1931}}'', has a distinctive slow, whining [[LaughingMad mad laugh]]. It introduces him from offscreen during his first mad scene, and then continues to reappear throughout the film. |
| 121 | * In ''Film/AFaceInTheCrowd'', Lonesome Rhodes rides to fame on his signature "Haw. Haw. Haw." laugh. |
| 122 | * Brought up in ''Film/TheGreatRace'' when [[HarmlessVillain Professor Fate]] is told to change his laugh to match that of the [[IdenticalStranger prince he's impersonating]]. |
| 123 | * In the Sky One adaptation of ''Film/{{Hogfather}}'', when Death briefly takes the role of the absent Hogfather (the Disc's Santa Claus), he... it's ''from'' the book but instead of the novel's not-quite-getting-it deadpan ([[AC:Ho. Ho. Ho.]]) he tries to play along with "Ho ho ho" but always delivers an [[AcCENTupONthewrongsylLAble oddly-stressed]] "HO hoho!" [[spoiler:The scene is kept, like most of the book, when he surprises the Auditors from inside a snowman and, as the last thought in an ultimatum, he sarcastically ponders, "[[AC:Have you been naughty... or nice? Ho. Ho. Ho.]]"]] |
| 124 | * Creator/ChristopherLambert seems to have a signature laugh across multiple characters. As Connor Macleod (of clan Macleod) from ''Film/{{Highlander}}'', he frequently used a dry, raspy "heheheh" sort of laugh, and then later used the same laugh as Lord Rayden in ''Film/MortalKombatTheMovie''. |
| 125 | * Pee-wee Herman has a distinctive, loud, somewhat barking laugh. Sometimes it comes out as a quick giggle, like "Heh Heh!" and sometimes it's longer. |
| 126 | * Louis' honking laugh from ''Film/RevengeOfTheNerds''. His father laughs the same way. |
| 127 | * Tommy's signature "haha" from ''Film/TheRoom2003''. Often used at inappropriate times. |
| 128 | * ''Film/StarWarsReturnOfTheJedi'': |
| 129 | ** Jabba the Hutt's slow, low-pitched EvilLaugh. A blinded Han Solo easily recognizes it. And right next to him, Salacious Crumb has a high-pitched AnnoyingLaugh. |
| 130 | ** Emperor Palpatine's EvilLaugh is distinct enough that the first trailer for ''Film/TheRiseOfSkywalker'' could end with it ''without'' showing Palpatine himself, and fans could still instantly recognize it as him. |
| 131 | * ''Film/TheThreeStooges'': Curly's "Nyuk-Nyuk-Nyuk" |
| 132 | * Creator/JohnWayne, in many of his roles. "Dah-Haa, dah-haaa, da-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha!" |
| 133 | ** ''Film/TheSearchers'' also has Charlie [=McCorry=] and his drawn-out, derisive "haw-haw-haw". |
| 134 | * The Witch of the West in ''Film/TheWizardOfOz‘’ has a perfectly witchy sounding cackle. |
| 135 | [[/folder]] |
| 136 | |
| 137 | [[folder:Literature]] |
| 138 | * In ''Literature/HarryPotter'', Sirius Black was often mentioned to have a laugh that sounded like a bark. Given his name and Animagus form as a large black dog, it seems quite fitting. |
| 139 | * ''Literature/TheMentalState'' has Zack State, who quietly chuckles to himself in private whenever one of his plans works, immediately followed by a serious scowl. |
| 140 | -->'''Zack:''' Heh! Hih! Hih! [Scowl] |
| 141 | * Creator/TerryPratchett seems to love these: |
| 142 | ** "Hat. Hat. Hat." from Mr. Cletes |
| 143 | ** Dragon-King-of-Arms and his ''"ah-ha"''. |
| 144 | ** The Death of Rats and his [[AC:"Snh-Snh-Snh"]]. |
| 145 | ** In ''Literature/{{Hogfather}}'', Death tries to mimic [[SantaClaus The Hogfather]]'s "Ho ho ho!", but despite his best confidences, it consistently comes out as [[AC:Ho. Ho. Ho.]] |
| 146 | * In ''Literature/ASongOfIceAndFire'', Walder Frey always laughs with a nasal "heh." His grandson in a narration mentions how much he hates it. |
| 147 | [[/folder]] |
| 148 | |
| 149 | [[folder:Live-Action TV]] |
| 150 | * Barney from ''Series/BarneyAndFriends'' has a deep sounding chuckle... very similar to Santa, but a little more rapid. |
| 151 | * ''Series/{{Batman|1966}}'' featured notable ones from several villains: |
| 152 | ** Creator/FrankGorshin's manic giggle as the Riddler is well known enough that it was one of the elements Creator/JimCarrey brought to his performance in ''Film/BatmanForever''. |
| 153 | ** Creator/BurgessMeredith's squawking "waugh waugh waugh" laugh as the Penguin was partially a case of EnforcedMethodActing, as Meredith had quit smoking in real life, and the cigarettes he had to have with him as Penguin irritated his throat. |
| 154 | * ''Series/TheBernieMacShow'': Jordan's nasally crackle: "Hee-hee-hee!" |
| 155 | * Sheldon Cooper in ''Series/TheBigBangTheory''. His very fake-seeming laugh is more of a brief bout of hyperventilation, and underscores his [[TheComicallySerious general lack of humor]]. |
| 156 | * It's rare to get a laugh out of Rosa Diaz in ''Series/BrooklynNineNine'', though Captain Holt seems to be the best at it with his insults about Wuntch, but when it does happen, her laugh sounds rather like a [[https://youtu.be/Fi98-2DLh20?si=Orlb5ee5Pr-rK2WB&t=51 witch's cackle.]] |
| 157 | * Hazel Swearington of ''Series/{{Bunkd}}'' has a mocking and sarcastic laugh ("''HA''-HA!"), usually whenever she's playing a mean trick on the Rosses. |
| 158 | * ''Series/{{Cheers}}:'' Diane has a particular laugh which sounds either forced or like she's on the verge of breaking into tears. In her appearance in ''Frasier'', it actually does lead into a spectacular sobbing fit. |
| 159 | * Vince Masuka from ''Series/{{Dexter}}'' does a Beavis and Butthead style laugh whenever he or someone else makes a double entendre. |
| 160 | * The Fourth Doctor in ''Series/DoctorWho'' has a really distinctive, booming, rather sinister laugh that ''Who'' fans just love doing impressions of. |
| 161 | * Steve Urkel in ''Series/FamilyMatters'' snorted whenever he laughed. |
| 162 | * ''Series/FawltyTowers'': Sybil Fawlty. |
| 163 | * Janice from ''Series/{{Friends}}'', with her nasally "nghanghanghangha" |
| 164 | * Jerry Ledbetter on the Britcom ''Series/TheGoodLife'' deploys a sardonic snicker. |
| 165 | * In an episode of ''Series/HappyDays'', Howard recognizes Fonzie's new girlfriend as a stripper he saw while at a convention. He remembers that she had a laugh "like a seal", and he tells her a joke in order to prove her identity. |
| 166 | * Tim Allen's grunting laugh from ''Series/HomeImprovement'', which came from his standup routine). |
| 167 | * ''Series/HellsKitchen'': Season 12 contestant Rochelle had a distinct giggle that she broke out in whenever she was nervous. In her elimination montage it's mostly centered on her laughing! |
| 168 | * Ricky Ricardo from ''Series/ILoveLucy'' had a very distinct, hardy (almost wheezing) laugh. |
| 169 | * Moss uses this trope in ''Series/TheITCrowd'' when acting as dungeon master for a game of ''TabletopGame/DungeonsAndDragons''. He announces that the players see a familiar face emerge from a crowd, then, as the character, gives a distinctive "Ho ho ho!" The players all recognize the laugh and shout the character's name. |
| 170 | * Kuroto Dan's [[FountainOfMemes memetic]] '''BWE-HE-HE''' in ''Series/KamenRiderExAid'' as demonstrated in an [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0toLEXg291U early trailer]] for the sequel movie trilogy Kamen Ex-Aid: Another Ending. [[ChewingTheScenery Scenery chewing]] and [[PutTheLaughterInSlaughter carnage]] usually follows. |
| 171 | * Speaking of Penny Marshall, Laverne De Fazio from ''Series/LaverneAndShirley'' has a rather annoying nasal laugh, though it doesn't come out as often. |
| 172 | * ''Series/{{MASH}}'': Hawkeye Pierce has a unique, whooping "WHOO-HOO-HOO-HAHAHAHA" laugh whenever something ''really'' funny and unexpected happens, such as [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ekW0082iqfg Henry Blake getting a faceful of soot]]. |
| 173 | * Creator/RikMayall's characters all share the same over-the-top nervous laugh. |
| 174 | * ''Series/TheNanny'': Creator/FranDrescher's nasal, snorting laugh. |

| 176 | * Rick Harrison of ''Series/PawnStars'' has a distinctive [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Am915MRR0_g staccato, wheezing laugh]]. |
| 177 | * ''Series/PeeWeesPlayhouse'': Pee-Wee Herman's "HA-HA!" |
| 178 | * Mr. Belding from ''Series/SavedByTheBell'' has a high-pitched "Ha ha ha ha ha!" when he laughs. |
| 179 | * In an episode of ''Series/SisterSister'', Tia has a boyfriend whose laugh is very hard to miss, and it ends up being the way she finds out that he is on a date with another girl. |
| 180 | * Kitty on ''Series/That70sShow''. Both how she laughs, and how often she laughs. |
| 181 | * Arnold Horshack from ''Series/WelcomeBackKotter'' had two [[MemeticMutation signature lines]]: "Oooh, Oooh, Mr. Kotter," and his SignatureLaugh. |
| 182 | * In ''Series/HellKitchen'', Season 12 contestant Rochelle had an adorable giggle that was her CharacterTic which, she notes in her EstablishingCharacterMoment, was when she was either nervous or excited. It got so infectious that in her elimination interview, there was a small montage of all her laughing moments. |
| 183 | [[/folder]] |
| 184 | |
| 185 | [[folder:Music]] |
| 186 | * French singer Henri Salvador had a very unique and amusing laugh. He even worked it into many of his musical singles. |
| 187 | * Louie the Turkey on Music/FrankZappa's album ''Music/LumpyGravy'' has a very eccentric laugh. Let us put it this way: there is a reason they called him "the turkey". |
| 188 | * Flemish singer, TV presenter and politician Margriet Hermans has a very loud and instantly recognizable laugh. |
| 189 | * The concept album ''Märchen'' by Music/SoundHorizon has the VillainProtagonist's sidekick Elise, whose speaking voice actress Creator/SakiFujita gives her a very distinctive EvilLaugh. |
| 190 | * Music/{{Eminem}} has a signature "ha-ha" laugh that he uses liberally as an adlib throughout his music, starting from ''Music/TheMarshallMathersLP''. In "Jimmy Crack Corn", [[AnnoyingLaugh he acknowledges that it's annoying, and does it a lot]] to wind up the listener and Music/FiftyCent. |

| 193 | [[folder:Myths & Religion]] |

| 203 | * [[YellowPeril Mr. Fuji]] had a sneering, sinister laugh. |
| 204 | * Wrestling/SethRollins is infamous for his condescending, nasally cackle. |
| 205 | [[/folder]] |
| 206 | |
| 207 | [[folder:Puppet Shows]] |
| 208 | * ''Franchise/TheMuppets'' and ''Series/SesameStreet'' have plenty: |
| 209 | ** [[Series/TheMuppetShow Statler and Waldorf]] use "DOH-ho-ho-ho-hoh!" |
| 210 | ** Fozzie Bear has "Aaaaaaaaah!" and also "Wocka wocka!" |
| 211 | ** Animal even laughs in HulkSpeak. "AH. HA. HA. HA. HA." |
| 212 | ** Dr. Bunsen Honeydew has a suppressed "Tss-tss-tss-tss-tss!" |
| 213 | ** The Swedish Chef had two different laughs; Jim Henson's take has a dopey "Uh-huh-huh-huh-huh", while Bill Barretta's Chef instead has a jolly "Hoo-hoo-hoo-hoo-hoo". |
| 214 | ** Floyd Pepper's wheezy "kee hee hee hee hee" |

| 218 | ** Zoe's shrill, squeaky "Haw haw haw haw!" |

| 225 | [[folder:Radio]] |
| 226 | * In ''Radio/TheAdventuresOfArchieAndrews'' from the 1940s and 1950s, both Veronica and Archie had unique laughs they used a lot. Archie would make a sort of awkward, love-sick laugh especially when Veronica would greet him. Veronica had a similar sounding laugh that she would use frequently. |
| 227 | * ''Radio/BleakExpectations:'' Mr. Benevolent's not exactly evil sounding EvilLaugh. It's more of an Evil Chuckle, but there's no mistaking it, since he does it OnceAnEpisode. |
| 228 | * Difficult to type, but the radio version of Radio/TheShadow had a very distinctive laugh, at least when Orson Welles was in the role. |
| 229 | * Carolina Bermudez (of ''Elvis Duran and the Morning Zoo'') has a quite a distinctive laugh, a "Ha ha ha ha!" that is almost like a fusion of an evil cackle and [[NightmareRetardant Elmo's]] [[Series/SesameStreet laugh]]. |
| 230 | * The Great Gildersleeve... Again, impossible to spell out. Also crosses over to LiveActionTV. |
| 231 | * Sublieutenant Phillips' 'silly-ass' laugh in ''Radio/TheNavyLark'' (usually at his own jokes). Most of the other characters find it irritating, especially Captain Povey. |
| 232 | * Creator/ElainePaige presents a regular musical theatre show for Creator/{{BBC}} Radio Two. Her signature laugh is extremely distinctive. |
| 233 | [[/folder]] |

| 236 | * Veronica from ''{{Theatre/Heathers}}'' has an ''incredibly'' infectious, distinctive laugh. |
| 237 | * After getting slapped by Glinda, Elphaba from ''{{Theatre/Wicked}}'' often lets out a cackle. Bonus points if it's an impression of Margaret Hamilton as the Wicked Witch of the West from the [[Film/TheWizardOfOz movie.]] |
| 238 | ** Willemijn Verkaik always ends the cackle with a high, whistling noise. |
| 239 | [[/folder]] |

| 247 | * Banjo of ''VideoGame/BanjoKazooie'' fame has a Goofy-like but still distinct "Guh huh!" |
| 248 | * ''VideoGame/BonanzaBros'' has the music cut out the first time you pick up a piece of loot specifically so you'll be able to hear the titular brothers' signature EvilLaugh: "Eh-heh-heh!" |
| 249 | * ''VideoGame/ClashRoyale'': The king has a destinctive "HEHEHEHA!", used as one of the game's default emotes. It has since become one of the most iconic sound effects in both the game and [[MemeticMutation in meme culture]]. |
| 250 | * ''VideoGame/CookieRun'': Herb Cookie's "Hoo-hoo!" |
| 251 | * VideoGame/DonkeyKong, in the arcade game: AAH. AAH. AAH. |
| 252 | * ''VideoGame/DontStarve'': Wortox gives us "Hyuyuyu!" |
| 253 | * ''VideoGame/Dota2'' has Sniper and his distinctive "HO HO! HA HA!" It's far from his only laugh, but players are very well acquainted with it since he uses that particular laugh every other time he uses an ability. [[Creator/ValveSoftware Valve]] even got in on the act with one of his cosmetic items, an oversized reel of carnival tickets [[AscendedMeme with "HO HO HA HA" printed on every single one]]. |
| 254 | * The dog in ''VideoGame/DuckHunt'', as well as the [[http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_d-D91mI4nEs/TS04_yEdBrI/AAAAAAAABWE/dYhwgFBWsYI/s400/DuckHuntDog.jpg pose he makes.]] |
| 255 | * ''VideoGame/ExitFate'''s bad guy duo: Trevor's "Hohohohoho" and Sick's "Hihihihihi". |

| 258 | ** Heidigger and Scarlet are at one point referred to as "Gya-Ha-Ha" and "Kya-Ha-Ha" by Cait Sith. |

| 260 | * ''VideoGame/HyruleWarriors'': The Twisted Wizard Wizzro has a unique wretched cackle written as "Hiya ha ha!" |
| 261 | * Heaven smiles in ''VideoGame/{{Killer7}}'' have very distinctive laugh. Possibly invoked, as variations of Heaven smiles have different laughs, allowing you to tell what exactly is about to [[ActionBomb blow your face off.]] |
| 262 | * Larxene's laugh as well as Vexen's laugh and death cry are pretty well known around the ''Franchise/KingdomHearts'' fandom. |
| 263 | * ''VideoGame/TheKingOfFighters'' has Iori Yagami: "Mmhmhmhm... ahahahaha... AHAAHAHAHAHAHA!" It's his VictoryPose, no less. |
| 264 | * In ''VideoGame/KirbyStarAllies'', all three of the Mage-Sisters have distinct laughs matching their personalities: [[AnIcePerson Francisca's]] girlish and bitter giggle ("Ee-hee-hee-hee-hee!"), [[PlayingWithFire Flamberge's]] coarse and raspy cackle ("Baaaa-haw-haw-haw-haw!"), and [[ShockAndAwe Zan Partizanne's]] low and throaty chuckle ("Uwaaaa-ha-ha-ha-ha!"). |
| 265 | * [[MagicalGirl Lux]] from ''VideoGame/LeagueOfLegends'' has a remarkably distinct but infamously AnnoyingLaugh in the form of hysterical giggles, which is just rife for spamming your enemies into submission. It's so infamous that in her updated 2017 voiceover, ''7 years'' after her initial release, she still keeps it intact. Interestingly though, her Ultimate [[ShesAllGrownUp Elementalist Lux skin]] doesn't have this, despite ''all'' of her voiceovers having been done by [[Creator/CarrieKeranen a single voice actress.]] |
| 266 | * ''Franchise/TheLegendOfZelda'': |
| 267 | ** In ''[[VideoGame/TheLegendOfZeldaCDiGames Zelda: The Wand of Gamelon's]]'' [[EverybodyLaughsEnding ending]], The King has a rather well-known [[MemeticMutation "OAHOHOHOHOHAHAHAHA!"]] partnered with Zelda's "Eh heh heh... Ehehehehe!" |
| 268 | ** ''VideoGame/ZeldaIITheAdventureOfLink'' has Ganon laughing over the GameOver screen: [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=l2VnS8mwW-g HOAH HOAH HOAH HOAH HOAH!]] It's actually repurposed from ''VideoGame/PunchOut'' where it was used for Bald Bull and Soda Popinski. |
| 269 | ** In ''VideoGame/TheLegendOfZeldaBreathOfTheWild'' (and its spin-off ''VideoGame/HyruleWarriorsAgeOfCalamity'') all koroks (save Hestu) share the [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mVe0gjYHP5U same laugh]]: "Yahaha!" |
| 270 | * ''Franchise/MassEffect'': [[TheBigGuy Grunt]] has a low, drawn out "Heh heh heh!" [[BloodKnight typically when it looks like a good fight is coming]]. |
| 271 | * Fassad's "Nwehehehehehe!" in ''VideoGame/Mother3''. |
| 272 | * This is practically an unspoken requirement to be an Overlord in the Creator/NipponIchi multiverse, as [[VideoGame/DisgaeaHourOfDarkness Laharl]], [[VideoGame/MakaiKingdom Zetta]] and [[VideoGame/Disgaea3AbsenceOfJustice Mao]] all have their own {{Evil Laugh}}s. Laharl deserves special mention as his laugh is almost always the first thing you hear whenever he shows up. |
| 273 | -->'''Laharl:''' Haaah-hahahahaha! |
| 274 | * ''Franchise/{{Pokemon}}'': |
| 275 | ** Croagunk and its evolution, Toxicroak, both have distinctive high-pitched, cackling cries. |
| 276 | ** In ''[[VideoGame/PokemonGoldAndSilver Gold/Silver/Crystal]]'' and the remakes, there's one particular rocket grunt who has a distinctive laugh of 'hyuk hyuk hyuk'. In fact it's practically the only way he is differentiated from the other grunts. |
| 277 | ** And all of the villains from the ''VideoGame/PokemonMysteryDungeon'' games. |
| 278 | --->'''Skuntank:''' Chaw haw haw haw!\ |
| 279 | '''Koffing:''' Whoa ho ho ho!"\ |
| 280 | '''Zubat:''' Heheheheheheheheh!\ |

| 282 | '''[[{{Mooks}} The Sableyes]]:''' Weh heh heh heh!\ |
| 283 | [[spoiler:'''[[BigBad Darkrai]]:''']] [=MuhehehehehehehehahahahahahahaHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAA!!!=] |
| 284 | * ''VideoGame/PizzaTower'''s BigBad, Pizzaface, has an 'AH-ha-ha-ha-ha-HAW!', that signifies his appearance during [[EscapeSequence Pizza Time]], when [[StalkedByTheBell the timer hits zero]]. This could potentially signify your doom, as a single touch from him will OneHitKill you. |
| 285 | * ''VideoGame/PrincessConnectReDive'': [[{{Yandere}} Eriko]]'s "Kusu kusu kusu..." |
| 286 | * Bald Bull and Soda Popinski from the NES ''VideoGame/PunchOut'' are the only characters who laugh at you. |
| 287 | * Clank of ''Franchise/RatchetAndClank'' has a distinctive "Ee-hehehehehe!" for his laugh. |
| 288 | * ''VideoGame/ResidentEvilCodeVeronica'': Alfred Ashford is known for his hideous laugh. |
| 289 | * In ''VideoGame/SengokuBasara'', Matabe has a high-pitched "Kekekekekeke" as his maniacal laugh. |
| 290 | * Dr. Eggman of the ''Franchise/SonicTheHedgehog'' series has his [[NoblewomansLaugh "Ohohohoho!"]] laugh, originally from the Japanese version of ''VideoGame/SonicAdventure'', but starting with ''Anime/SonicX'', Mike Pollock began imitating the laugh in English. |
| 291 | * ''VideoGame/{{Stellaris}}'' has the Prethoryn scourge's "Hak hak hak!" |
| 292 | * [[TheOjou Karin]] [[RichBitch Kanzuki]] of ''Franchise/StreetFighter'' fame has a very distinct and memorable NoblewomansLaugh that she is usually seen demonstrating before a match, or in the case of ''VideoGame/StreetFighterV'', after connecting with her most powerful techniques. "OOOOOOOOOOH-HO HO HO!" |
| 293 | * ''VideoGame/SuikodenII'': Luca Blight and his "HOO HOO HA HA HA HA HA HA!!!!!" (Yes, with that many exclamation marks.) |
| 294 | * ''Franchise/SuperMarioBros'': |
| 295 | ** [[Characters/SuperMarioBrosMarioBrothers Mario]] has a distinctive "Ha-''ha''!" chuckle, first seen in ''VideoGame/SuperMario64'' and often seen again in later games. It isn't as prominent as some of his other catchphrases, but still noticeable when it appears. |
| 296 | ** [[Characters/SuperMarioBrosBowser Bowser]], [[BigBad King of the Koopas]], has an EvilLaugh that either goes "GWAHAHAHA!" or "BWAHAHAHA!" |
| 297 | ** Many villains from the ''Mario'' {{RPG}}s have signature laughs. They may or may not be rendered as a sound effect (most are simply printed out as text, especially in the ''VideoGame/PaperMario'' series). |
| 298 | *** [[VideoGame/PaperMarioTheThousandYearDoor Lord Crump]] has "Buh! Buh! Buh huh huh!", and Grodus has "Gack ack ack ack!" |
| 299 | *** [[VideoGame/SuperPaperMario Count Bleck]]'s is "Bleh heh heh heh heh! BLECK!" The same game has Dimentio's "Ah ha ha ha!" |
| 300 | *** [[VideoGame/MarioAndLuigi Fawful]] tends to [[GigglingVillain giggle]] in a way that's written in the Japanese version as "Fururururu!" (tying in with his VerbalTic there of ending his sentences with "-ru"). It's absent from his dialogue in the English localizations, but it's kept in the French dialogue, which adapts it as "Fuyuyuyuyu!" |
| 301 | * Brian Fury from ''VideoGame/{{Tekken}}'' has a mechanical, echoing "Ahahahahaha!" when he throws an enemy. |
| 302 | * ''VideoGame/ToukenRanbu'' has Yamabushi Kunihiro, {{Hunk}} in a [[CastFullOfPrettyBoys Cast Full of Pretty]] [[MoeAnthropomorphism Swords]], with his [[LargeHam boistrous]] '''"KAKAKAKAKA"''' laugh. |
| 303 | * ''VideoGame/{{Undertale}}'': |
| 304 | ** Papyrus has a distinctive "NYEH HEH HEH HEH HEH!...HEH," which he even uses in written notes. This is lampshaded in the EnemyScan. Comparisons to [[WesternAnimation/HeManAndTheMastersOfTheUniverse Skeletor]] ensued. |
| 305 | ** Sans's "heh heh heh" might not seem as unique as his brother, if it weren't for the fact that his VoiceGrunting takes the form of it. |
| 306 | ** Resident CuteMonsterGirl Muffet gets an "Ahuhuhuhu~" |
| 307 | ** Flowey's laugh is "Hee hee hee..." [[spoiler:This is a trait he took over from Asriel.]] |
| 308 | ** [[spoiler:Asriel's [[OneWingedAngel final form]]]] has "Ura ha ha!" Pretty evil. |
| 309 | ** The elderly turtle-looking Waterfall shopkeeper continually lets out a bossy "Wah ha ha!" It even features if you enter his name ([[spoiler:Gerson]]) on the [[HelloInsertNameHere starting name entry screen]]. |
| 310 | ** Undyne has "fuhuhu". |
| 311 | * [[VideoGame/WarioLand Wario]] has a "Wahahaha!". ''VideoGame/WarioLand4'' replaces it with a different sounding laugh that's comprised of a single voice clip of him going 'Ha!', but repeated, and progressively getting lower pitched. |
| 312 | * Goro Majima from the ''VideoGame/{{Yakuza}}'' series has a distinct "NYEHEHEHE!" laugh befitting for the Mad Dog of Shimano. |
| 313 | ** Ai from ''VideoGame/Yakuza0'' has a very distinct "Ehehe." |
| 314 | [[/folder]] |
| 315 | |
| 316 | [[folder:Visual Novels]] |
| 317 | * ''Franchise/{{Danganronpa}}'': |
| 318 | ** ''VisualNovel/DanganronpaTriggerHappyHavoc'' has Monokuma with his "Upupupupu..." and [[spoiler:[[SerialKiller Genocider Shou]]/[[DubNameChange Genocide Jack's]]]] "GYAHAHAHAHAHAHA!" which she tends to introduce herself with. The English translation changed Monokuma's laugh to "Puhuhuhu..." ("Nyek Nyek Nyek Nyek!" in TheAnimeOfTheGame) and [[spoiler:Jack's]] to "Kyeehahahaha!" |
| 319 | ** In ''VisualNovel/DanganronpaV3KillingHarmony'', the Ultimate Supreme Leader Kokichi Oma has "Nishishi" and Ultimate Anthropologist Korekiyo Shinguiji has "Kukuku". Again, the English localization changed Kokichi's laugh to "Nee-heehee" and Korekiyo's to "Kehehehe". Ultimate Inventor Miu Iruma has a haughty "Ah-hahaha", and Ultimate Artist Angie Yonaga has a sprightly "Nyahahaha". |
| 320 | * ''VisualNovel/DokiDokiLiteratureClub'' has a few: |
| 321 | ** Ahaha! (Monika) |
| 322 | ** Ehehe~ (Sayori) |
| 323 | ** Uhuhu! (Yuri) |
| 324 | * ''VisualNovel/KatawaShoujo'' has Misha's "Wahahahaha~!" Yes, the tilde is mandatory! |

| 326 | * Viola Cadaverini from ''VisualNovel/PhoenixWrightAceAttorneyTrialsAndTribulations'' has a sinister laugh ("Hee... hee... hee...") that she uses when discussing something violent or creepy. |
| 327 | ** Calisto Yew has one so distinctive it gets its own animation, where she doubles over clutching her stomach with an enormous grin on her face, usually accompanied by her {{Leitmotif}} playing. [[spoiler: This is used for a WhamShot in Case 5, where Shih-Na laughs in the exact same way.]] |
| 328 | ** After being revealed as [[BigBad the phantom]], [[spoiler:Detective Fulbright]] from ''[[VisualNovel/PhoenixWrightAceAttorneyDualDestinies Dual Destinies]]'' reveals a "Hee hee hee hee! Hoo hoo hoo! HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA!", always with that exact length, capitalization, and punctuation, taking up exactly one text box all to itself. Its flawless consistency is probably meant to convey that it's [[TheSociopath completely fake]]. |
| 329 | * ''VisualNovel/UminekoWhenTheyCry'' has quite a few of these. |
| 330 | ** Ihhihihihi! (Battler) |
| 331 | ** Hohohohoho... (Kumasawa) |
| 332 | ** Wahahaha! (Hideyoshi) |

| 337 | [[/folder]] |
| 338 | |
| 339 | [[folder:Webcomics]] |
| 340 | * ''Webcomic/TheAdventuresOfDrMcNinja'': Dr. Knickerbockers, the [[SlasherSmile crazy smiling]], [[EvilLaugh evil laughing]] midget doctor: "Eeeheeeheheheheheh!". Apparently [[http://drmcninja.com/archives/comic/4p40 a similar being haunts artist Kent Archer's nightmares]]. |
| 341 | * ''Webcomic/{{Homestuck}}'': |
| 342 | ** Nannasprite's distinctive "Hoo hoo!" laugh, which is also shared with [[spoiler:Jane Crocker, her post-scratch counterpart.]] |
| 343 | ** Calsprite from the first doomed timeline has an ''incredibly'' annoying "HAA HAA HEE HEE HOO HOO" laugh. [[spoiler:This laugh later becomes a SharePhrase between Doc Scratch (who was ectobiologically created from Lil' Cal) and Caliborn, who uses Lil' Cal as his SoulJar.]] |
| 344 | * In ''Webcomic/PolandBall'' comics, Brazilball's laugh is shown as "hue hue hue". |

| 349 | * WebVideo/{{Dream}} is known for having a particularly wheezing laugh -- known by some of his fans as his "tea kettle" laugh. |
| 350 | * ''WebAnimation/{{Hololive}}'': |
| 351 | ** Usada Pekora has an especially distinctive, high-pitched and jumpy laugh that comes out often. It's actually her natural laugh, as she can't actually pull it off if she tries to do it on purpose. Fansubbers usually add a multitude of arrows to indicate the pitch shifts. |
| 352 | --->'''Pekora:''' AH↓HA↑HA↑HA↑HA↑ |
| 353 | ** Takanashi Kiara, who was a fan of Pekora before debuting, has a similar laugh. She has stated she can't actually remember if she started laughing like that to copy Pekora or if she always laughed like that. Due to a RunningGag with Hololive English that was started at Kiara's expense, fansubbers usually add arrows pointing to the bottom left when it comes up. |
| 354 | --->'''Kiara:''' HA ↙ HA ↙ HA ↙ HA ↙ HA ↙ |
| 355 | ** Pavolia Reine has a somewhat raspy chuckle that's been compared to a car engine trying to start, and it's been acknowledged with one of her unique chat stickers being that of a car with her in it and an accompanying '''HE'''. Her artist and "mama", Iida Pochi approves of the comparison. |
| 356 | ** Miko has an Elite "[=UwahahaHAHAHA=]" laugh, with very well enunciated "HAHAHA". |
| 357 | ** Korone has her "monkey screeches" which end with wheezes as she is unable to breathe. |
| 358 | ** Amelia Watson has a mischevious sounding chuckle that fans refer to as a "gremlin laugh". Often used after mocking someone (the chat, other members or something in the game). |
| 359 | ** Calliope Mori tried to force in a high pitched "teehee" very early on but she dropped it quickly when she realized that it wouldn't work. What has actually become her signature laughing style is a hearty guffaw that expends her lungs after about four "ha"s before she needs to breathe. |
| 360 | ** Hakos Baelz has a high pitched guffaw that's been compared to seagulls or tea kettles. |
| 361 | ** Kaela Kovalskia is different in that she ''doesn't'' have an audiable laugh. Her laugh is so low that her microphone doesn't pick it up. But it's clear when she's laughing from her animation. |
| 362 | ** In a moment of [[BreakingTheFourthWall fourth wall-breaking]] during one of her ''VideoGame/{{Minecraft}}'' streams, Gawr Gura admitted that she initially planned on giving herself a laugh similar to Pekora's. After trying to laugh out the word "shark" as "Sha-ha-ha-hark!" and finding the end result too cringeworthy, she settled for a light-sounding "Guhahaha!" instead. |
| 363 | ** Josuiji Shinri has a wheezing laugh that is evocative of [[WesternAnimation/WackyRaces Muttley's]] snickering. |
| 364 | ** Koseki Bijou has a squeeky laugh that's been directly compared to window wipers that ends with her inhaling and then sighing. |
| 365 | * LetsPlay/NicoB's laugh always sounds like he's rolling on the floor, unable to contain his glee. |
| 366 | * LetsPlay/PewDiePie's laugh sounds like he's gasping for breath every few seconds. |
| 367 | * LetsPlay/{{Raocow}} has a distinctive laugh that crops up rather often due to his easily amused nature. |

| 369 | * ''WebVideo/{{Vinesauce}}'': Vinny and Joel both have distinct laughs. Vinny can go from a calm, stoic voice to hysterical giggling in a matter of seconds. [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=H0QUEiGiEfA Joel's laughter]], however, defies basic human description. |
| 370 | * ''WebVideo/VOMSProject'': Amano Pikamee has a very hearty laughter that is accompanied by very high-pitched gasps, which her fans have likened to a dolphin's squeaks and the whistle of a boiling tea kettle. |
| 371 | * ''WebVideo/VShojo'': Henya the Genius has a very hearty laughter that is accompanied by very high-pitched gasps, which her fans have likened to a dolphin's squeaks and the whistle of a boiling tea kettle. |

| 373 | ** Fulgur Ovid has a wheezing laugh similar to [[WebVideo/{{Dream}} Dream's]], which led to people also calling him a "tea kettle". |
| 374 | ** Ren Zotto has his distinctive "fuckboy laugh", which [[https://twitter.com/RenZott0/status/1680653528916697089 a promotional image for Anime Impulse]] wrote phonetically as "Hah haah". |

| 381 | * In ''WesternAnimation/AvatarTheLastAirbender'', [[GlacierWaif Toph's]] laugh was what tipped [[TheChosenOne Aang]] off that she was the girl from his vision. |
| 382 | * Several ''WesternAnimation/TheBatman'' villains: |
| 383 | ** The Penguin's "wah wah" squawking laugh |
| 384 | ** Riddler's high pitched giggle |
| 385 | ** Joker's maniacal cackle (particularly [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lb8fWUUXeKM Mark Hamill's interpretation]]) |
| 386 | * ''WesternAnimation/TheBackyardigans'': "Le Master of Disguise" has "Heh-heh-heh!" for Pablo's role as the eponymous criminal. It is how Austin determines who is him and who isn't. |

| 388 | * ''WesternAnimation/BeastWars'' has Tarantulas and his maniacal cackling--he'll often go on for seconds at end if allowed to. [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-CSfsyNdjQs A sampling]], alongside a disturbingly good case for his MemeticMolester credentials. |
| 389 | * The titular characters of ''WesternAnimation/BeavisAndButtHead'' were practically defined by their signature laughs, "Ehhhehehe" and "Uhhhhuhuhu" respectively. One episode is dedicated to their inability to cease this laughter. |
| 390 | * Billy's laugh from ''WesternAnimation/TheGrimAdventuresOfBillyAndMandy'' it goes like "Duhee Hee Hee Hee". His laugh is genetically carried over from his father. |
| 391 | * [[WesternAnimation/BozoTheWorldsMostFamousClown Bozo the Clown]] ended each of his cartoons with an extended belly laugh. He'd use the laugh in the cartoon itself when he cracked a joke, usually the result of his antagonist's failures. |
| 392 | * WesternAnimation/ClassicDisneyShorts: |
| 393 | ** WesternAnimation/MickeyMouse's high-pitched giggle from when Creator/WaltDisney was voicing him. Creator/WayneAllwine's short "Ha-ha!" from more recent times is almost as memorable. |
| 394 | ** WesternAnimation/MinnieMouse shares a cuter variation of Wayne Allwine's Mickey's laugh provided by late voice actress Creator/RussiTaylor. Russi Taylor and Wayne Allwine were also married in real life until his passing in 2009. |
| 395 | ** WesternAnimation/DonaldDuck's signature "Wak, wak, wak wak, wak wak wak!" |
| 396 | ** WesternAnimation/{{Goofy}}'s distinctive "Ah-hyuck!" Which has passed onto his son, Max Goof. |
| 397 | ** WesternAnimation/ChipAndDale's high-pitched giggling introduced by Creator/TressMacneille and Creator/CoreyBurton in 1989, which Roko Takizawa and Creator/MinoruInaba (the duo's current Japanese voices) took cues in Japan. |
| 398 | ** WesternAnimation/{{Pete}}'s loud laugh provided by [[Creator/JimCummings1952 Jim Cummings]]. His laugh was also based on Billy Bletcher and Will Ryan's performance of the character. |
| 399 | * ''WesternAnimation/CodenameKidsNextDoor'': The Delightful Children From Down The Lane have a [[EvilLaugh quiet, flat giggle]] they do when everything is going according to plan. It's a creepy sort of laugh. |

| 404 | * Roger Klotz from ''WesternAnimation/{{Doug}}'': "HUH HEH HEH HEH HEH HEH!" |
| 405 | * ''WesternAnimation/DragonTales'' has Wheezie's signature "Hee-he-he-ha-ha-ha! (snort-snort-snort)". |
| 406 | * ''WesternAnimation/TheFairlyOddParents'': Dark Laser's laugh is a hearty chortle, somehow interspaced with babbling over whatever it was that amused him. |
| 407 | * ''WesternAnimation/FamilyGuy'': Peter Griffin's "Heheheheheheheheheh!" |
| 408 | ** Quagmire's choppy chuckle (Heh! Heh! Heh!) while rocking his head back and forth, usually punctuated with an "Allllriiight!" |
| 409 | ** In "Stewie Loves Lois," Peter does a ''crying'' version of his signature laugh after thinking Dr. Hartman "violated" him (it was really a prostate exam). |

| 413 | * In ''WesternAnimation/{{Futurama}}'', Fry will often go "Heh-heh-heh-heh..." in an evil sort of way, whether or not he intends to act evil. |
| 414 | * ''WesternAnimation/GravityFalls'': Mabel's single, loud 'HAH!' if she's amused by herself. |
| 415 | * ''WesternAnimation/HarveyBirdmanAttorneyAtLaw'': HA-HA! Phil Ken Sebben! |
| 416 | * "WesternAnimation/HuckleberryHound's "HAHAHAHAHAHA!" laugh, his "Hehehehe!" giggle, or his "Huh, huh, huh!" chuckle. |
