Ha Ha Ha No

When a character, either feigning genuine laughter or being obviously sarcastic, pretends to laugh along with other characters, or encourages/threatens them to do so, then abruptly tells them to shut up, in one way or another. Sometimes, this is in concert with a Laugh With Me moment.

Shinra: Ah hah hah. Go die chest-first in a clay ice shaver, Izaya."

 * In The Rocky Horror Picture Show, Riff does this to Magenta during the dinner scene.
 * There's a very sinister example in The Lives of Others, which is set in communist East Germany. A young Stasi agent in training is telling a (quite funny) joke to some of his friends that could be interpreted as being anti-government. A Stasi captain overhears it, and when the joke is finished, he laughs heartily... and then asks for the joke teller's name and rank, presumably so that he can be fired or imprisoned.

Live Action TV
"Phil: HAHAHAHAHAHAH (Suddenly jumps up) DO I LOOK LIKE A WHITE MAN NAMED WARD?!"
 * Shown here (1:00) in Monty Python's Flying Circus.
 * Used many, many times by Uncle Phil in The Fresh Prince of Bel Air. The laugh rises up into a high pitched, somewhat creepy register, but he loses the exclamation on "No", and goes straight into thunderous shouting.
 * For example in one episode, Will and Carlton lose Vivian's bracelet which they pawned for a stock investment that quickly tanked. Phil finds out about this and starts laughing which the boys join in. When asked by Phil what he should do, Will jokingly reply he should "reward them for their honesty... it worked for The Beav" causing Phil to laugh louder.

 * He does the same thing regarding Inara, who has a similar response.
 * A slightly more articulate variation: on an episode of M*A*S*H, Col. Potter is trying to bring the meeting to order and Hawkeye makes a lame joke. Potter, laughing, says "Pierce, sometimes you can be very amusing," and then abruptly stops laughing and says "And then there's now."
 * Mad Men has a hilariously cryptic example when Bert Cooper asks Duck Phillips, who's up for a job with the company, whom he's voting for. Duck good-naturedly answers that if he says Nixon, Cooper will think he's sucking up, and if he says Kennedy, he'll want to reform him, so he'll say... Nixon. "That's nice to say," Cooper responds with a smile -- which abruptly disappears... and then abruptly reappears -- and then abruptly disappears again. Duck just stands there looking bewildered until he's led away.
 * Raven did this to Chelsea some times.
 * Another Disney Channel example occurs in Hannah Montana when Jackson, for the second time, has horrible luck with his sister's birthday cake and the seagulls come to eat it. His friend makes a joke and starts laughing with Jackson joining in; a minute later he then tells his friend to go home.
 * On Whose Line Is It Anyway, Ryan got a great one in during a game of Secret based on William Tell and his son.

 * Joffrey from Game of Thrones starts an episode by listening to a minstrel play and sing an incredibly irreverent song that said minstrel wrote about the death of his father and what a bitch his mother is. While the minstrel begs for mercy, Joffrey applauds and laughs... and then asks the minstrel which he would rather have: hands or a tongue.

"All (laughing): Ah! ah! ah!
 * De Guiche plays it straight at Act II Scene VII when he reveals to the multitude that celebrates Cyrano combat against a one hundred men that he was the man who hired them against a poet for a satiric poem:

Cuigy: He who laid that ambush, 'faith!

Must curse and swear!

Brisaille: Who was it?

To punish and chastise a rhymster sot.
