Cicero is the eccentric jester and Dark Brotherhood assassin in The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim, released in 2011, whose manic laugh became one of the game's most recognisable character sounds. Players encountering him in the Dark Brotherhood questline quickly remembered the cackle, and clips of it spread through Skyrim meme videos, reaction edits and soundboards. It remains popular because it instantly signals madness, dark humour and a villain enjoying the moment, making it a shorthand for creepy laughter in gaming content long after Skyrim's release.

Cicero's sinister cackle from The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim, the Dark Brotherhood jester's unsettling laugh used for villain reveals and creepy meme edits.
The clip captures Cicero's high-pitched, wheezing cackle, a manic laugh that starts as a giggle and escalates into a deranged, breathless cackle before cutting off abruptly. It sounds gleeful and deeply unsettling at the same time, like a jester who finds something far too funny and cannot stop himself. Hearing it instantly makes a scene feel creepy, unhinged or darkly comic, as if a villain has just revealed a twisted plan or is enjoying someone else's misfortune. That mix of humour and menace is what makes it so effective for reaction moments, jump scares and villainous reveals.
