The Joker is Batman's archenemy from DC Comics, and his manic laugh has become one of the most recognisable sounds linked to the character across comics, animated series and live-action films. Online, the laugh spread as a reaction sound for villain moments, plot twists and dark jokes, and it is now a staple of meme edits, gaming clips and Halloween videos. Unlike the lighter Chipmunk Laugh, this version is slower and more menacing, which is why creators keep returning to it when they want a joke to feel sinister rather than silly.
About this sound
The Joker's chilling laugh from the Batman movies, a slow menacing cackle used for villain reveals, pranks and dark meme edits in videos and streams.
This is the Joker's unmistakable laugh, a slow, deep and unsettling cackle that builds from a low chuckle into a wild, echoing burst. It carries the manic energy of the Batman villain, playful on the surface but menacing underneath, with a rasping edge that makes it instantly recognisable. The laugh feels theatrical and unhinged, as if the character is enjoying a joke nobody else understands. Hearing it immediately creates tension and dark humour, turning an ordinary moment into something sinister, chaotic and memorable for anyone watching.
