The iconic laugh from Zorra Total, the Brazilian TV comedy show. A long studio audience laugh used as a reaction meme for funny fails and jokes on WhatsApp.

This is the big, rolling studio laugh everyone in Brazil recognizes from Zorra Total, Globo's long-running Saturday night sketch comedy show. It opens with a burst of chuckles that quickly swells into a full audience roar, layered with wheezy giggles, sharp cackles and a few claps underneath, running about thirteen seconds before fading out. It sounds exactly like the laugh track that used to underline every punchline on the show. Dropped into a video or chat, it lands as an instant, slightly mocking stamp of approval, the audio equivalent of pointing at someone and laughing along with a crowd.

Zorra Total was a sketch comedy show broadcast by TV Globo in Brazil from 1999 to 2015, famous for its recurring characters, catchphrases and the roaring audience laugh that punctuated nearly every sketch. Long after the show ended, that laugh lived on as a shared audio meme: Brazilians forward it on WhatsApp and drop it into short videos as a reaction sound whenever someone tells a joke or takes a lighthearted fall. Its nostalgia factor keeps it circulating, since a whole generation grew up hearing that exact laugh on Saturday nights.

Pro Tip for Usage

Drop it the instant the punchline lands, ducking dialogue underneath so the laugh sits on top. At thirteen seconds it is long, so never loop it. Pair it with a slow zoom on the subject's face, and skip sad clips where the mockery turns mean.
