King Pig is the crowned leader of the pigs in Rovio's Angry Birds, the mobile puzzle game first released in 2009. His laugh comes from the games themselves, where the pig king reacts with smug delight when the birds fail or his own schemes seem to succeed. As Angry Birds grew into a global franchise across sequels, films and merchandise, its character sounds were lifted onto soundboards and into fan edits. The laugh endures because it is short, instantly recognisable and carries a complete comic attitude in just two seconds.
