When a character, [[Sarcasm Mode|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 [[Big "Shut Up!"|shut up]], in [[Little No|one way]] or [[You Have Failed Me...|another]]. Sometimes, this is in concert with a [[Laugh Withwith Me]] moment.
 
Not to be confused with [[Ha Ha Only Serious]].

'''Shinra:''' Ah hah hah. Go die chest-first in a clay ice shaver, Izaya. }}
 
 
== [[Comic Books]] ==
* In ''[[The Sandman (Comic Book)|The Sandman]]'' there's a scene where Lucifer is asked if he would ever return to Hell. He stares for a moment and then says exactly this.
 
 
== [[Film]] ==
* Jareth from ''[[Labyrinth (Film)|Labyrinth]]'' pulls this on his goblin [[Mooks]] after telling them the "You remind me of the babe" joke.
* In ''[[Toy Story (franchise)|Toy Story]]'', Woody does a form of this after Bruce the toy shark's lame impression of him after finding his hat.
* Used at least once in each ''[[Austin Powers]]'' movie between [[Card -Carrying Villain|Dr. Evil]] and his son Scott, as an [[Overly Long Gag]].
* Maleficent in ''[[Sleeping Beauty (Disney film)|Sleeping Beauty]]'', when she realizes that her goons have been searching sixteen years and are still looking for a ''baby''.
* In ''[[The Princess Diaries]]'' movie:
{{quote| '''Joe:''' You may call me Joe.<br />
'''Mia:''' Joey?<br />
'''Joe:''' Hehehe. No. Joe. }}
* 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 (Film)|The Lives of Others]]'', which is set in communist East Germany. A young [[Secret Police|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. {{spoiler|And then he says he was just kidding, tells an even more anti-government joke, and leaves the stunned jokester be.}}
* In ''The Clones of Bruce Lee'' (which is about, you guessed it, [[Bruce Lee]] clones), the villain Dr. Ni gives a hearty laugh, then immediately yells "Silence!" at all his henchmen laughing with him.
* The first ''[[Night Atat the Museum]]'' has the boss do this, after Larry tells him that the mess with the fire hydrant was caused by the (now-inanimate) cavemen. Gervais' character simply ask if he should laugh, laughs silently with exaggerated expressions, then returns to telling him off.
* ''[[Ferris BuellersBueller's Day Off (Film)|Ferris Buellers Day Off]]'': Cameron does this in response to Ferris' suggestion that they take the miles off his dad's Ferrari by driving home backwards.
* In ''[[Scream (Filmfilm)|Scream]]'', when Randy asks Stu if he thinks Sidney would go out with him, Stu laughes and points at him in the most flamboyant way possible before putting on a deadly serious face and saying "No. I don't. At all. No."
 
 
== [[Live -Action TV]] ==
* [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1dWMIuipn_c Shown here] (1:00) in ''[[Monty Python's Flying Circus]]''.
* Used [[Catch Phrase|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 [[Leave It to Beaver|The Beav]]" causing Phil to laugh louder.
{{quote| '''Phil''': HAHAHAHAHAHAH (Suddenly jumps up) '''DO I LOOK LIKE A WHITE MAN NAMED [[Leave It to Beaver|WARD?!]]'''}}
* ''[[Jeopardy (TV)|Jeopardy!]]'': [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LGRycUpBLS4 This YouTube clip says it all.]
* ''[[Firefly (TV)|Firefly]]'': Jayne makes a suggestive comment about Zoe, who laughs and replies cheerfully "I can hurt you."
** He does the same thing regarding Inara, who has a similar response.
* A slightly more articulate variation: on an episode of ''[[MashM*A*S*H (TVtelevision)|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 (TV)|Mad Men]]'' has a hilariously cryptic example when [[Eccentric Millionaire|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 -- whichsmile—which abruptly disappears... and then abruptly reappears -- andreappears—and then abruptly disappears again. Duck just stands there looking bewildered until he's led away.
* ''[[That's So Raven (TV)|Raven]]'': 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 [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6i1nBRz2ORc a game of Secret based on William Tell and his son.]
{{quote| ''Say, you're not gonna, like, shoot me through the head so I won't tell your horrible secret..."<br />
''"Ha ha ha! ...put that on your head and go over there."''<br />
''"What's with the grape?!"'' }}
* ''[[Mystery Science Theater 3000 (TV)|MST3K]]'' examples:
** In the episode Pod People
{{quote| ''Recording Artist: <gives thumbs up> "It stinks!"''}}
** In the episode Fugitive Alien
{{quote| ''"Ha ha ha, you're stuck here!"''}}
* [[Royal Brat|Joffrey]] from ''[[Game of Thrones (TV)|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 [[God Save Us From the Queen|a bitch his mother]] is. While the minstrel begs for mercy, Joffrey applauds and laughs... and then [[The Sadistic Choice|asks the minstrel which he would rather have: hands or a tongue]].
* Even a baby can do this, as shown in this AFV video: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xBSYD0dQCAw
* On ''[[The Suite Life of Zack and Cody]],'' a girl Zack was dating does this exact trope before scolding him.

== Theater ==
* [[Cyrano De Bergerac]]:
** Cyrano invokes this trope at Act I Scene V when he considers the possibility that an ugly man could love.
{{quote| '''Le Bret''' ''(stupefied):'' How now? What? Can it be...? <br />
'''Cyrano''' ''(laughing bitterly):'' That I should love?... <br />
''(Changing his tone, gravely):'' I love. }}
** 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:
{{quote| '''All''' ''(laughing):'' Ah! ah! ah! <br />
'''Cuigy:''' He who laid that ambush, 'faith! <br />
Must curse and swear! <br />
'''Brisaille:''' Who was it? <br />
'''De Guiche:''' I myself. <br />

To punish and chastise a rhymster sot. <br />
''(Constrained silence.)'' }}
 
 
== Video Games ==
* ''[[Final Fantasy II (Video Game)|Final Fantasy II]]'': The Emperor does this late in the game in ''[[Dissidia Final Fantasy (Video Game)|Dissidia Final Fantasy]]'' ([[Hannibal Lecture|though not]] [[The Reveal|exactly in]] [[Foe Yay|the same circumstances pictured]], however).
* ''[[Kingdom of Loathing (Video Game)|Kingdom of Loathing]]'': Used word for word in the strange leaflet if, while standing in front of the cave that contains the house and the grue egg, you try typing "Take cave".
* [[The Sims|Sims]] sometimes do that in their negative responses.
* [[The Force Unleashed|Starkiller]] is facing off against a gorog, a creature capable of crushing a rancor with a single hand.
{{quote| '''Kota:''' We have to take this thing out of commission.<br />
'''Starkiller:''' Hahaha... HOW?! }}
* [[Dynasty Warriors]]' Sima Yi gives a particularily good one in #7.
{{quote| '''Cao Shuang''':I was right to do what I did! Know your place! Our men were becoming as one under me...his highness knew that!<br />
'''Sima Yi''':Ha ha ha ha! You Imbecile! }}

== Web Original ==
* ''[[Red vs. Blue (Machinima)|Red vs. Blue]]'': Washington delivers the Trope title (in full snarking mode) when Doc suggests the Reds are behind a well thought through trap. Made quite creepy by the fact that Washington never laughs otherwise. Its probably for the best.
** There's also a very early example with Caboose, of all people.

'''Caboose''': Ah ha ha ha ha ah ha yeah ah hah--Don't make me mad. }}

* From [[The Cinema Snob (Web Video)|The Cinema Snob]]'s "Grizzly 2" review:
{{quote| '''Snob:''' Wow, ha, ha, ha-THIS WAS A MESS.}}
** Likewise, for ''Dracula: The Dirty Old Man'':

'''Snob:''' Ha ha ha ha...because he killed millions of people! }}
* [[Phelous]] once did a unique variation on this, when reviewing the "funny" version of ''[[House of the Dead]]''. There was a scene where it suddenly started playing in reverse for no reason. Phelous laughed out loud, heartily; then the video reversed to before he started laughing and he said "Actually that's not very funny at all."
* [[Atop the Fourth Wall (Web Video)|Linkara]] did this in his reviews of "Doom's IV #2" and "[[NB Comics]] #1", laughing in response to the sexist jokes in both comics before yelling [[Catch Phrase|"This comic sucks!"]]
* In the first episode of ''[[My Little Pony: Camaraderie Is Supernatural]]'', the narrator uses it during his retelling of the original show's [[Storybook Opening]].

'''Ranier''': [threatening] If you don't shut your big yap, I will rip off your face and use it as a napkin.<br />
[pause, and then everyone laughs]<br />

** Also from the episode where Homer becomes trash commissioner, and has to deal with (actually, ignore) the garbage crisis: Homer is about to leave Moe's. When Moe asks him to pay for his drinks, Homer says his campaign catchphrase: "Let someone else do it." Moe laughs, amused. Homer starts to walk out. Moe cocks his shotgun: "Seriously, give me the money."

* ''[[The Powerpuff Girls (Animation)|The Powerpuff Girls]]'' are jailed for they crimes they did not do in their second episode, "[[Easy Impersonation|Powerpuff Bluff]]", and have to break free from prison to get rid of their impersonators. And [[So Once Again the Day Is Saved|So, Once Again, The Day Is Saved]], right? Not quite.
{{quote| '''Mayor''': [[No Good Deed Goes Unpunished|Of course now you''ll have to go back to jail for breaking out in the first place!]]<br />

* There is a possibly made-up [[Urban Legend]] about a Disney animator in the 1930's or 40's who produced some Rule 34 of [[Mickey Mouse]], and as a joke, showed it off at a company get-together with [[Walt Disney]] present. Walt's response was essentially this; he laughed along with everyone else, and then fired the animator.
** According to Harlan Ellison, it was an impromptu riff about a Disney porn film in the company cafeteria at lunch, and the pink slip was waiting on his desk when he went back to his office. (It was his ''first day'' on the job.)
