This laugh is tied to Skull Kid from Nintendo's The Legend of Zelda: Majora's Mask, released for the Nintendo 64 in 2000. The character became memorable for his eerie, childish energy and his central role in the game's darker tone. Short clips of Skull Kid audio have stayed popular in game edits, creepier meme videos and nostalgic Zelda posts because they instantly suggest taunting mischief. Even in very short form, the voice cue is recognizable to many players and fits both funny and unsettling scenes.
