Mort de rire, often shortened to MDR, is the French equivalent of LOL or dying of laughter in everyday texting and social media. The phrase has been used in French internet culture for years in comments, messages and memes before short laughing clips spread on TikTok and other video platforms. As a sound, it became a quick shorthand for a reaction, letting creators mark a moment as funny without showing their own face or recording a laugh. It remains popular because the expression is widely understood and the reaction is universal.

Mort de rire is a short French laughing sound effect for moments that are dying of laughter. Use it as a funny reaction in videos, memes and chats.
Mort de rire captures a burst of uncontrolled laughter that instantly signals something is hilariously funny. The clip is short and punchy, with the laugh rising quickly and cutting off clean, so it lands like a reaction rather than background noise. It works because French speakers use the phrase the way English speakers use dying of laughter, giving it a playful, exaggerated feel even for listeners who do not speak French. Placed over a fail, a silly face or an unexpected twist, it tells the viewer to laugh along without needing any setup or explanation at all.
