Line 730:
** Almost every Decepticon in ''[[Transformers Armada]]'' indulges in this at least once, most often [[Psycho for Hire]] Cyclonus.
*** Megatron in ''[[Transformers Armada]]'' is the biggest offender, though: he laughs ''a lot,'' never passing up an excuse to do so, to the point that it becomes [[Narm]]ish. As the [[Big Bad]], he has that right, but the ''Cybertron'' version, played by the same voice actor, (who also played the ''[[Beast Wars]]'' Megs) doesn't laugh nearly as much.
* ''[[Kim Possible]]'': Señor Senior Senior views the Evil Laugh as a vital part of villainy. When Señor Senior Junior states this view to Shego (in [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=U0WNfBFfFNc "Two to Tutor"]); she tells him that his father has "warped his mind." He also criticizes his son for having a bad Evil Laugh, telling Señor Senior Jr that "A villainous laugh must be ''deep'', from the diaphragm."
* ''[[The Simpsons (animation)|The Simpsons]]''
** Bart Simpson's laugh is pretty evil, even when he's laughing about something innocent.
** Mr. Burns has a pretty good one too.
Line 745:
* ''[[The Smurfs]]'': Gargamel and ... his pet cat, Azrael. Usually, the two laugh – master first and cat next – after Gargamel consecrates his latest scheme to capture and/or kill the Smurfs.
* ''[[He-Man and the Masters of the Universe]]'': Skeletor, usually after announcing his latest plan to stop He-Man and take over Eternia.
* ''[[Avatar: The Last Airbender]]'': Surprisingly, the one time that [[Big Bad|Firelord]] [[Large Ham|Ozai]] gets one of these it’s more like an evil chuckle. Instead, the biggest Evil Laugh of the series goes to [[Cute Bruiser|Toph]].

* A [[Lampshade Hanging|lampshade was hung]] on this in at least one episode of ''[[The Fairly OddParents]]'', in which the arch-enemy of the Crimson Chin; the Nega-Chin looks at his watch and says "Oh. Time for my ''Evil Laugh!''" He then engages in said evil laugh on cue.
Line 757:
* The hooded Claw from ''[[The Perils of Penelope Pitstop]]''.
* ''[[The Powerpuff Girls]]''. Mojo Jojo. For shame!
* In "[[The Tick (animation)|The Tick]] Vs. Europe", the Breadmaster actually ''writes his evil laugh out'', in a taunting letter to the Heroes. [[Lampshade Hanging|Which Arthur points out]].
* In the ''[[Tom and Jerry]]'' short ''Solid Serenade'', Tom traps Jerry in Spike's doghouse and gives the audience an Evil Laugh as he closes the door. Then Jerry emerges, being safely escorted out of the enclosure by Spike himself...who utters an Evil Laugh of his own as he shuts the door again. [[Hilarity Ensues]], natch.
** In ''Jerry and the Lion'', Tom traps Jerry in a closet and again gives one of these to the audience as he closes the door... not realizing that Jerry is accompanied by the escaped circus lion who he's befriended. Hilarity once again ensues.
Line 775:
* Yet another Joker example, this time from ''[[Batman: The Animated Series]]'', courtesy of [[Mark Hamill]]. [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lb8fWUUXeKM Naturally.]
** [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=T1bmM7Ihv0Y#t=60s Surprisingly enough, Batman himself!]
* In ''[[Thundercats]]ThunderCats (1985 series)|the original ''ThunderCats'']], Mumm-Ra unleashes a very impressive one every time he transforms into Mumm-Ra The Ever-Living.
* Heloise on ''[[Jimmy Two-Shoes]]'' has a strangely adorable one. [[Satan|Lucius]] gives one too.
* The Monarch in ''[[The Venture Bros]]'' likes a good evil laugh. It may be because he actually [[Card-Carrying Villain|works as a villain]] as his full-time occupation, but then he also loves his job. He's also [[Genre Savvy]] enough to know what he's doing.
* ''[[My Little Pony: Friendship Is Magic|My Little Pony Friendship Is Magic]]'': Nightmare Moon, Spike, and {{spoiler|Fluttershy}} each pull off an evil laugh at various points in the first season. Discord also gets a few in the season 2 opening. Discord actually has two distinct ones—his normal, evil, and somewhat menacing laugh, and his sinister-as-all-get-out laugh. The latter happens more often when he's ''not'' onscreen.
* Non-Evil Example: [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RGjab76TJ3c This absolutely glorious clip from] ''[[Megas XLR]]''.
* ''[[Adventure Time]]'': Princess Bubblegum pulls off a pretty insane evil laugh in "The Duke" when she thinks she finally has an excuse to lock up the Duke of Nuts. In "Mortal Folly" the Lich starts laughing when {{spoiler|Finn is about to defeat him with a sweater.}}
* In ''[[ReBoot]]'', Megabyte and Herr Doktor do this frequently. With Megabyte being voiced by [[Tony Jay]]...
* Green Goblin has a particularly psychotic one in ''[[The Spectacular Spider-Man]]''.
* The [[DCAU]] likes giving this to [[Batman]]. The original scares Harley Quinn half to death with it, when [[Batman Beyond|Batman II/Terry MacGinnis]] does it in [[The Movie]], taunting the Joker (''The Joker!'') into a [[Villainous Breakdown]].
* In ''[[Batman Beyond]]'', Derek Powers gives an awesome Evil Laugh [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TJqf6Hpoq_8 here] when he finds out the side effects from his radiation treatment.
* ''[[The Grim Adventures of Billy and Mandy]]''.
* ''64 Zoo Lane''.{{context}}
* In ''[[The Powerpuff Girls]]'', many villains do evil laughs (even the Powerpuff Girls do them sometimes).
* ''[[Star Wars: The Clone Wars]]'' features numerous characters who thoroughly enjoy a good malevolent chortle.
Line 793:
** In the Umbara arc, General Krell spends the first three and a half episodes as a gruff, domineering officer. However, once he admits that he is a traitor he laughs deeply in ''every following conversation.''
* Angelica in ''[[Rugrats]]'' has plenty of these.
* ''[[Ed, Edd 'n' Eddy]]'': "You've met your match, Melon Head! Prepare for... PROFESSOR SCAM!!" MUAHHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAH!!!
{{quote|'''Edd:'''...He's lost it. ''Honestly?''}}
* A truly ironic example is Gwen the Witch from ''[[Disenchantment]]''. She's actually [[Dark Is Not Evil|a nice old lady]] who wouldn't hurt a fly, but she's under a curse that causes her to cackle evilly every time she talks. This nearly gets her executed for black magic before Bean figures it out.
