About this sound

✦ AI

Brook's iconic Yohohoho laugh from One Piece, followed by a loud bass-boosted jumpscare drop used in memes and edits to shock viewers after a calm setup.

The clip opens with Brook's high, rattling Yohohoho laugh, instantly recognisable to One Piece fans, before it cuts without warning into a distorted, bass-heavy blast that feels far louder than the laugh that came before it. The contrast is the whole joke: a cheerful skeleton musician's catchphrase suddenly becomes an aggressive wall of low-end noise, with the original voice almost buried under the boom. Played at full volume, it startles listeners, breaks a quiet moment in a video, and leaves the laugh ringing in their ears after the bass drops away.

Yohohoho is the signature laugh of Brook, the skeleton musician of the Straw Hat Pirates in One Piece, and it has become a shorthand for his cheerful, undead humour among anime fans. Online, editors took that familiar laugh and paired it with an exaggerated bass-boosted drop, turning a lighthearted catchphrase into a sudden jumpscare sound for short meme videos. The niche version spread because the contrast works instantly, even for viewers who do not follow One Piece, and it remains popular in edits that need a loud, unexpected punchline.

Pro Tip for Usage

✦ AI

Place the laugh over a calm setup, then cut to the bass blast exactly on a reveal, fail or scare. Keep the drop short and do not loop it over dialogue, or the shock quickly becomes unpleasant noise.

  • Creators use it to jumpscare viewers after a quiet One Piece clip.
