This sound is widely associated with Sisyphus in Hades, the roguelike game by Supergiant Games released in 2020. Players remember the character for his unexpectedly upbeat attitude, which helped this laugh spread in gaming clips and meme edits. It stuck around because the contrast is funny: a figure tied to endless struggle sounding completely unbothered by it. Online, creators use it when a situation is repetitive, doomed or exhausting, but they want the mood to feel amused rather than angry.
