{{trope}}
[[Die Laughing]] is a related trope (though hopefully not ''too'' related) where the character in question actually dies while laughing, though not necessarily ''because'' of it.

* In the ''[[Great Teacher Onizuka]]'' manga, [[Japanese Delinquents|Kunio Murai]] spots Onizuka walking around with an ugly, fat older woman, and has this reaction {{spoiler|before learning that the lady in question is his friend's mother.}}▼
== [[Anime]] and [[Manga]] ==
{{quote| '''Kunio:''' ''BWA HA HA HA HA! I thought bestiality was illegal in this country!''}}▼
* ''[[Kenichi: The Mightiest Disciple]]'': In his climatic fight vs. Odin,
* Commonly displayed by the [[Trickster Twins|Hikaru and Kaoru]] in ''[[Ouran High School Host Club]]'', particularly when they manage to get the better of [[Rich in Dollars, Poor In Sense|Tamaki]]. See the episode where Tamaki utterly fails to impersonate Haruhi and resulting [[Ocular Gushers]] from the laughing twins.
* A short but simple example from near the end of ''[[Redwall|Mattimeo]]''

* In the ''[[Worm]]/[[Luna Varga]]'' crossover fic ''[[Taylor Varga]]'' by "mp3.1415player", Amy and Taylor end up rolling on the floor laughing more than once over the plans they make. The habit spreads to the Family as a whole, whenever they do something to boggle the city.
* Also found in another fic by "mp3.1415player", the ''[[Worm]]/[[Doom (series)|DOOM]]'' crossover ''[[Taylor is DOOMed]]''. During a sidestory set in ''[[Buffy the Vampire Slayer]]'', both Xander and Taylor's minions have this response to watching the black ops squad dispatched by the Watcher's Council utterly fail at fighting vampires hand to hand. One of the demons mentions that several of the smaller minions have actually injured themselves laughing at their antics. When Xander expresses surprise that it was possible, the demon admits that it was a surprise to them, too.

* In the classic D&D tale ''[[Head of Vecna]]'', the DM 's sides started hurting when "Group Two" was falling for an obvious trap. He maintained a straight face until the second character in group two got decapitated.

* ''[[SpongeBob SquarePants]]'' does this often depending on the episode.
** In "[[SpongeBob SquarePants/Recap/S4/E5 Selling Out - Funny Pants|Funny Pants]]", SpongeBob laughs so hard so often that he seems to pull something; Squidward is so tired of the annoying laughter that he takes the opportunity to convince his coworker that he's wearing out his "laugh box". On Squidward's bunk advice, SpongeBob manages to go 24 hours without laughing, only to then find that he can't laugh anymore. This leaves him in a deep depression until Squidward comes clean, which causes them to both laugh heartily - but Squidward finds it far funnier than Spongebob did, to the point where his laughter actually lands him in the hospital! Turns out laugh boxes are a real organ, and his was so barely-used that it gave out. Spongebob was thankfully kind enough to donate a part of his own... which gives Squidward the same exact annoying laugh and drives him insane.
