Blitzcrank is a robotic champion in League of Legends, the team-based multiplayer game from Riot Games, and his laugh is one of his in-game emotes. Players have long used the emote to taunt opponents or celebrate a successful grab, and the distinctive mechanical sound was soon clipped from gameplay and shared on soundboards and in meme edits. It remains popular because it is short, instantly recognisable to League players, and works as a shorthand for robotic amusement or mocking confidence in gaming videos and streams.
