El Risitas was the stage name of Spanish comedian Juan Joya Borja, whose 2007 interview on Ratones Coloraos resurfaced online around 2014 and spread worldwide. His wheezing retelling of a kitchen job story became a template for subtitled parodies about games, tech and everyday disasters, and his laugh later inspired the KEKW emote culture on Twitch. Clips like this still circulate alongside the baby laughing meme and other reaction laughs because the sound alone, without any context, instantly signals that someone has completely lost control laughing.
