At just under two seconds, this clip is easy to place without trimming and cuts through most dialogue with its rough, bright voice. Download the MP3 to keep it available offline, add it to a soundboard, or import it as a short ringtone or notification tone. Lower it slightly when layering it over speech, since the cackle can compete with higher voices. For a longer comedy sequence, pair it with a Ba Dum Tss or follow a failed punchline with Oh Brother This Guy Stinks.

Play the Krusty laugh button, download the MP3, or set it as a ringtone. The raspy Simpsons cackle lands perfectly after bad jokes and awkward reveals.
This sound is Krusty the Clown's unmistakable laugh from The Simpsons, delivered in his rough, wheezy, showbiz voice. It lands somewhere between a cackle and a forced comedian's chuckle, which is exactly why it works so well in edits. The clip gives off tired entertainer energy, fake confidence, and a little bit of chaos all at once. When dropped after a bad joke, an absurd reveal, or a deliberately awkward moment, it makes the scene feel more ridiculous and adds that classic cartoon sense of secondhand embarrassment.
