JC Denton is the augmented agent at the center of Deus Ex, the 2000 first-person RPG from Ion Storm known for conspiracy plots and player choice. Denton became a meme figure online because of his emotionless voice acting, with short lines and reactions clipped and reused far outside the game. His brief laugh is shared the same way, posted as a reaction sound for moments that are supposed to be funny but land flat. It remains popular with retro gaming fans who recognise the delivery instantly.
