The word risada means laughter in Portuguese, and clips labelled this way circulate widely in Brazilian and Portuguese-language meme communities before spreading to international soundboards. This fake version became popular as a reaction sound because its insincerity is instantly understood in any language, unlike a spoken punchline. It is often shared alongside other laugh clips like the baby laughing meme, and creators reuse it in short-form edits, group chats and livestream soundboards where a sarcastic, drawn-out laugh works as a complete response on its own without needing context.
