Clash Royale, Supercell's tower-defence mobile game released in 2016, puts players in control of a cartoon King who reacts to battles with a small set of expressive emotes, including his mocking laugh. Clips of that laugh travelled beyond the game as players shared winning moments, funny defeats and edited highlights on TikTok and YouTube, where the sound became shorthand for smug victory. It remains popular because it needs no explanation for gamers, while still working as a simple taunt for viewers who have never played.

The mocking laugh of the King from Clash Royale, a short hee hee hee ha chuckle used in memes and gameplay clips to celebrate a win or taunt an opponent.
This short clip captures the Clash Royale King breaking into his signature mocking laugh, a rapid hee hee hee ha that rises in pitch before ending on a sharp, triumphant ha. Lasting just over two seconds, it sounds playful and smug rather than genuinely joyful, like a cartoon villain celebrating a clever move. That tone makes it instantly recognisable to players and instantly funny to everyone else, because the laugh carries the whole joke on its own: confidence, teasing and a little bit of gloating, all packed into one quick burst that lands best right after a surprise win.
