The 'nyeh heh heh' laugh is best known as the signature chuckle of Papyrus, the loud and lovable skeleton from Toby Fox's 2015 role-playing game Undertale, where the line appears as on-screen text during his boastful speeches. Fans adopted it as shorthand for theatrical overconfidence, and it spread through memes, animations and impression videos across YouTube and TikTok. This particular clip is a fan-made vocal imitation, the kind users record for soundboards, and it sits naturally alongside other goofy laugh clips like the baby laughing meme and the cat laugh meme.
About this sound
A fan-recorded 'nyeh heh heh' chuckle in the style of Papyrus from Undertale. Creators drop it under scheming reveals, villain entrances and trolling memes.
The clip is a short, bouncy vocal chuckle built around the syllables 'nyeh heh heh,' delivered in a nasally, theatrical tone that lands somewhere between a cartoon villain and a proud show-off. It opens with a springy 'nyeh' that rises in pitch, then tumbles into two quick descending 'heh' beats, giving it a smug, self-satisfied rhythm that lasts about two seconds. There is no music or background noise, just the bare voice, which makes the laugh feel direct and punchy. Played over a video, it instantly frames whoever is on screen as someone who thinks their clever plan just worked.
