The Joker's maniacal laugh from Batman: The Animated Series, voiced by Mark Hamill. Creators use it for villain reveals, evil plans and unhinged moments.

This is the Joker's extended cackling laugh as performed by Mark Hamill in Batman: The Animated Series. It starts with a low, knowing chuckle and builds into a wild, high-pitched, almost musical fit of laughter that keeps going longer than expected. The delivery is theatrical and unmistakably villainous, swinging between amusement and menace. Played over any scene, it instantly makes the moment feel like an evil plan has just succeeded, turning a simple joke or reveal into something gleefully unhinged and dangerous.

Batman: The Animated Series premiered in 1992 and redefined the Joker through Mark Hamill's voice performance, which became the definitive version for a generation of fans. His laugh was recorded in many variations for the show, from short giggles to long manic outbursts. Clips of the longest laughs later spread online as reaction audio and edits often pair it with the I'm Batman sound for classic hero versus villain scenes. It remains popular because Hamill's take balances cartoon humour with real menace.

Pro Tip for Usage

✦ AI

Drop the laugh right after your punchline or evil reveal and let the full build play without cutting it short. Pair it with a slow zoom or a freeze frame, but avoid music underneath because Hamill's rising pitch needs the space to land.

Use Cases

✦ AI
  • Play it after revealing a villain's secret evil plan
  • Add it to Halloween edits featuring Joker cosplay moments
  • Use it when a prank goes perfectly as planned
  • Drop it over gaming clips for chaotic boss victories
