Sobre este som

A short sarcastic laugh used to mock something that is obviously not funny. Played after a failed joke, bad take or predictable outcome in memes and edits.

A brief, exaggerated laugh delivered with obvious irony rather than amusement. The tone is flat and forced, as if the speaker is pretending to find something hilarious when they clearly do not. It works as an instant punchline, undercutting a statement, joke or situation and signalling dry disbelief without needing any further words. At just over two seconds it lands fast, leaves a clear pause for reaction, and is instantly readable as sarcasm.

The ironic laugh became a staple reaction clip on short-form video and gaming edits in the late 2010s and early 2020s as soundboard culture spread across TikTok, YouTube Shorts and Discord. Unlike a genuine laugh track, its value is in the delivery, a performed ha-ha that viewers recognise as a shorthand for sarcasm. Creators use it as a portable reaction when they do not want to record their own voice, and it remains common in compilation memes where a quick, dismissive laugh is needed between cuts.
