As in real life, so in fiction: '''Laughing Themselves Sick''' is the most common physical response a character can have to an in-universe [[Crowning Moment of Funny]]. Some characters may remain standing, while others may have to sit down or will even roll around on the floor; orthe haveacronym toROFL sitstands down.for Not"rolling related toon [[Diethe] Laughing]]...hopefullyfloor laughing".
 
[[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.

== [[Video Games]] ==
* In ''[[The Sims|The Sims 4]]'', Sims are capable of hysterical laughter, and it's possible for a Sim to dieactually from[[Die hysterical laughterLaughing]].
 
== [[Web Comics]] ==
* In ''[[Sinfest]]'', [https://web.archive.org/web/20140209163822/http://sinfest.net/archive_page.php?comicID=2396 Slick clutches his stomach while laughing.]
 
== [[Western Animation]] ==
 
* ''[[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.
