El Risitas was the stage name of Spanish comedian Juan Joya Borja, whose wheezing laugh came from a television interview on the Spanish show Ratones Coloraos. Clips of the interview began circulating online with invented subtitles that gave his laughter a new context, and the laugh became a standalone reaction meme used far beyond the original joke. Edited louder and more distorted, the earrape version spread through gaming clips, edits and short videos, where it sits alongside other laugh memes like the baby laughing meme and the cat laugh meme as a signal that something has gone hilariously wrong.

The loud, distorted laugh of Spanish comedian El Risitas from his interview meme. Creators use this earrape version for fails, pranks and reaction moments.
This is the instantly recognisable wheezing laugh of Juan Joya Borja, better known as El Risitas, pushed to an extremely loud, clipped and distorted earrape level. It starts with a sharp intake of breath, breaks into high-pitched, stuttering giggles and keeps building until it sounds almost out of control, with crackling distortion over every burst. The original laugh already feels infectious and mischievous, but this boosted version turns it into a sudden shock of noise that makes a fail, mistake or absurd moment feel even funnier, sillier and more chaotic.
