Laughter
Laughter is a pleasant physical reaction and emotion consisting usually of rhythmical, often audible contractions of the diaphragm and other parts of the respiratory system. It is a response to certain external or internal stimuli. Laughter can rise from such activities as being tickled, or from humorous stories or thoughts. Most commonly, it is considered an auditory expression of a number of positive emotional states, such as joy, mirth, happiness, or relief. On some occasions, however, it may be caused by contrary emotional states such as embarrassment, surprise, or confusion such as nervous laughter or courtesy laugh. Age, gender, education, language, and culture are all indicators as to whether a person will experience laughter in a given situation. Some other species of primate (chimpanzees, gorillas and orangutans) show laughter-like vocalizations in response to physical contact such as wrestling, play chasing or tickling. Laughter is a part of human behavior regulat ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Evil Laughter
Evil laughter or maniacal laughter is manic laughter by a villain in fiction. The expression dates to at least 1860. "Wicked laugh" can be found even earlier, dating back to at least 1784. Another variant, the "sardonic laugh," shows up in 1714 and might date back even further. A 2018 paper argued that this specific type of laugh has foundations in human psychology. In comic books, where supervillains utter such laughs, they are variously rendered as ''mwahahaha'', ''muwhahaha'', ''muahahaha'', ''bwahahaha'', etc. These words are also commonly used on internet blogs, bulletin board systems, and games. There, they are generally used when some form of victory is attained, or to indicate superiority over someone else ( ownage), or also mockingly at a statement one finds hard to believe was uttered in earnestness. During the 1930s, the popular radio program ''The Shadow'' used a signature evil laugh as part of its presentation. This was a rare case of a non-villain character using ...

The Slick Chick
''The Slick Chick'' is a 1962 Warner Bros. ''Looney Tunes'' animated short directed by Robert McKimson. The cartoon was released on July 21, 1962, and features Foghorn Leghorn. The voices are performed by Mel Blanc and Julie Bennett. The cartoon is an adaptation of the ''Mean Widdle Kid'' radio programs (and later, television skits) starring comedian Red Skelton. The main antagonist in the film—Junior, a delinquent chick who causes trouble for Foghorn—is based on Skelton's character; one of Junior's catch phrases ("He don't know me very well, do he?") is the Mean Widdle Kid's signature saying. Plot Foghorn Leghorn is filing his nails when Widow Hen comes by and asks a curmudgeonly old rooster, called Mr. Cackle, to watch her young son, Junior, while she goes out. Mr. Cackle refuses, claiming Junior is destructive, disrespectful and incorrigible ("''ME'' babysit with ''HIM?!''
