Shao Kahn is the emperor of Outworld and one of the main villains of the Mortal Kombat fighting game series, known for his helmet, huge build and cruel taunts during fights. This laugh comes from Mortal Kombat Shaolin Monks, the 2005 action adventure spin off for PlayStation 2 and Xbox. Short boss laughs from games spread easily online because they work without context, and this one became a reusable soundboard clip for gloating, taunting opponents and adding a final boss feeling to edits, streams and meme videos.
