J. Jonah Jameson is the hot-tempered Daily Bugle publisher from Marvel's Spider-Man comics, famously played by J.K. Simmons in Sam Raimi's Spider-Man trilogy beginning with Spider-Man in 2002. Simmons reprised the role in later Marvel films, cementing the character's loud, dismissive laugh in pop culture. Clips of the laugh spread through YouTube edits, meme compilations and soundboards in the 2010s as a universal reaction for mockery. It endures because Simmons' performance is instantly recognizable and the laugh needs no context to signal ridicule.
