Skeletor is the skull-faced villain of He-Man and the Masters of the Universe, the 1980s animated series based on the Mattel toy line, where his theatrical cackle became one of his most recognisable traits. Clips of the laugh circulated on YouTube and later TikTok as a shorthand for evil glee, often dubbed over gaming fails, pranks, and villain edits. Because the character is instantly recognisable even to viewers who never watched the original show, the sound still works as a quick, nostalgic punchline for scheming and mischief.
