Plants vs Zombies is a tower-defense game first released in 2009, in which players defend a garden against waves of cartoon zombies, and its goofy, menacing zombie humour has made its sounds a lasting part of gaming meme culture. Short clips like this evil laugh spread through soundboards, gameplay videos, and short-form edits, where creators reuse them to give ordinary moments a villainous twist. Because the laugh is instantly recognisable and easy to drop into a joke, it remains a popular choice for prank edits, reaction videos, and gaming montages years after the original game became a classic.
