There's so many times where laughing in anime just sounds so fake. Yeah, it's voice acting but it still sounds so shitty. What do you think makes a good laugh and can anybody pull an example of a good laugh?

I was just watching Yakitate Japan and when all the characters started laughing I had to cringe a little bit with how bad and forced the laughing was.

I've started to notice that some laughing is so bad it makes me laugh like Whitebeard's laugh

I'm fine with laughter in anime, I have more issues with bad crying as it ruins the mood, assuming there is any. Grisaia for example when Michuru was crying was just horible. Notable mentons to Bossun's sister form Sket Dan for being worse crying voice actor ever.

I disagree. Although Light's laugh is definitely top-tier, I got wet when Alucard started laughing with chorus in the background



It almost felt like Alucard was laughing at the world when it happened, which struck me.

If you're going to post videos with people just laughing, I'm going to lock this.

I'll spoiler mine :c



Anyway there was some old 3 part standard for laughing.

Something about intensity, duration, and acoustics.
A great protagonist once said, "It's only overpowered if you can't return the favor!"

I love Doflamingo's laugh.


I don't know why, he's just laughing from the bottom of his soul and is really enjoying... the chaos xD Though Kira's laugh is also pretty nice, it's just pure evil.

A good laugh has to be unique and you have to feel the emotions.

That whitebeard laugh is the most retarded thing I've heard.

I love Okabe Rintarou's laugh. It's amazing.

As long as it doesn't sound fake/forced I'm okay with it.

Laugh from female voice actors usually sound better. Male voice actors better at screams and heavy breathing.

I find most shounen villains' laughs annoying.
We get it, you're evil, nobody cares.

Is there like a reason why they all laugh weirdly different or just for comedy?

Light Yagami's laugh is well done. It makes sense that someone could laugh like that out of madness when his plans fail or being close to death or sort of like that.

It's more on the trope side, but Renge does it right:



Every time I buy it.

For the sake of the discussion, this one is intentionally made to sound "fake". It's kind of obvious.

Karin's laugh from Street Fighter Alpha 3 even it's so fake yet it puts a smile on anyone's face.
