Line 8:
This is a subtrope of [[Evil Laugh]], and the opposite of [[Dissonant Serenity]]. It's when a character goes around killing everything in sight and seems to be having a ''lot'' of fun with it, like [[The Joker|Joker]] levels of fun. Especially if the character is [[Laughing Mad]]. Typical of the [[Blood Knight]], the [[Boisterous Bruiser]], some [[Ax Crazy]] characters, and some [[Heroic Sociopath|Heroic Sociopaths]]. But it can happen to anyone, especially during a [[Heroic BSOD]], a [[Heroic Sacrifice]] or a [[Bolivian Army Ending]]. But it's rather exceptional for normal heroes, since usually there's something ''deeply wrong'' if [[The Cape]] is actually having fun killing people (unless they're trained to do so).

Line 16:
* Hidan from ''[[Naruto]]''.
* Roberto tended to do this in ''[[Monster (Anime)|Monster]]'' while Johan was more... ''[[Dissonant Serenity|calm]]'' about it.
* While the anime version of ''[[Elfen Lied]]'' portrays [[Woobie, Destroyer of Worlds|Lucy]] as [[The Stoic]] [[Emotionless Girl]] who butchers people like the dozen without visible emotion, her manga counterpart displays a disturbing tendency to break in fits of insane cackling as she ripped people to pieces with gleeful abandon.
* It wasn't manslaughter, but the end of the great fight between "Nagi" and Rakan in ''[[Mahou Sensei Negima]]'' shares the spirit.
** On the other hand, the series also presents us with a truly [[Nightmare Fuel|terrifying]] example: [[Combat Sadomasochist]] [[Psycho Lesbian|Tsukuyomi.]]
Line 40:
== Fan Fic ==
* Pinkie Pie in the infamous ''[[My Little Pony: Friendship Is Magic (Animation)|My Little Pony Friendship Is Magic]]'' fanfic [[Cupcakes]], who giggles at doing horrible things to her victims.
