The exact origin of this wheeze laugh is unclear; it arrived on user soundboards tagged with the names Harry and Blinck and spread simply because the laugh itself is funny. Short reaction laughs travel well online, and this one sits naturally beside other comedy staples like the laughing dog meme, Nelson's HA-HA! and gato riendo, the Spanish laughing-cat clip. Its charm is how unpolished it sounds, a burst of real laughter that needs no context, which is why creators keep reaching for it years later.
