* Lady Aska in ''[[Magic Knight Rayearth (Manga)|Magic Knight Rayearth]]'' (and a [[Noblewoman's Laugh]] to boot).

* Naga in ''[[Slayers (Light Novel)|Slayers]]'' teaches a couple of villain of the week in the OVA to laugh an evil and noble laugh like her. By the end of the episode, the three laugh together in a twillight.

* In ''[[Labyrinth (Film)|Labyrinth]]'', Jareth the Goblin King laughs just before the "Dance Magic" sequence. He quickly notices that his goblins are not joining in and asks, "... Well?". The goblins start laughing, only for him to quiet them down for his song.

* In [[UHF (Film)|UHF]], when [[Corrupt Corporate Executive|R.J. Fletcher]] starts laughing, the two managers under him realize, after a short pause, that they'd better start forcing themselves to laugh along with him.

* In ''[[The Big Bang Theory (TV)|The Big Bang Theory]]'', Raz goes to work for [[Insufferable Genius|Sheldon]]. Sheldon plays one of his awkward pranks on Raz and after informing him of the fact that he was joking, mentions, "I'm your boss now. You may want to laugh at that."

* ''[[Metal Gear Solid 4 Guns of the Patriots (Video Game)|MetalGearSolid4]]'': This is Laughing Octopus' [[Catch Phrase]].

* This trope is actually [[Played for Drama]] in [[Higurashi no Naku Koro Nini]]'s [[PSPlay Station 2]]-only Tsukiotoshi-hen. After {{spoiler|Keiichi, Rena, and Shion}} all kill Satoko's uncle, Satoko finds out and [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=J37XUXfKPSw&feature=related basically yells] "[[What the Hell, Hero?]]?!" at everyone involved. This upsets {{spoiler|Keiichi}}, and so after they all get back to his house, both {{spoiler|Rena and Shion}} try comforting him by [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JPkF2_EakeM&feature=related telling him to laugh] and looking progressively more insane and threatening. He finally goes along with it, indicating his tenuous grip on sanity at this point.

* Inverted in ''[[The Order of the Stick (Webcomic)|Order of the Stick]]''. Xykon proclaims that his goals will be achieved soon, Red Cloak and Mit-D laugh. Redcloak asks why Xykon doesn't laugh.

* The [[Trope Namer]] comes from ''[[Freakazoid (Animation)|Freakazoid]]''. The eponymous hero's eventual [[Evil Counterpart]], Guitierrez, would often laugh while surrounded by his cohorts. He would then gleefully tell them, "Laugh with me."

* ''[[Inspector Gadget (Animation)|Inspector Gadget]]'' has an inversion: Dr. Claw frequently punishes his cat for laughing with him.

* Smitus (in a ''[[My Life As a Teenage Robot (Animation)|My Life Asas a Teenage Robot]]'' episode) monologues about his evil plan and then lets out an evil laugh, while his minions just stare. He gives them an icy glare and says, "You laugh too." The minions all start laughing themselves silly, so much so that they accidentally let the episode's [[Applied Phlebotinum]] out of their ship's airlock.

* Non-laugh variation: the "Shanghaied" episode of ''[[SpongeBob SquarePants (Animation)|SpongeBob SquarePants]]'' has the Flying Dutchman take Spongebob and Patrick onboard as his crew. When he demands that they "[[Large Ham|howl with me, that we might set the seven seas, ABLAZE with fear!]]", they comply with various ridiculous noises, until he finally gives up on making them scary.

* ''[[Kung Fu Panda 2 (Animation)|Kung Fu Panda 2]]'' subverts this in that the [[Big Bad]] asks [[The Hero]] to laugh with him. He does so and then questions why he's laughing.

* ''[[Avatar: The Last Airbender (Animation)|Avatar: The Last Airbender]]'':

* In ''[[Codename Kids Next Door (Animation)|Codename: Kids Next Door]]'', there is a boss man who wants to capture LIVE Rainbow Monkeys and do some horrible thing with/to them that is never mentioned:

* Non-villainous example in an episode of ''[[The Simpsons (Animationanimation)|The Simpsons]]'', Homer is forced to borrow money from Patty and Selma. They agree to help him out on the condition that he become their slave until he repays the debt. They then begin smirking and laughing, and Homer chuckles a little with them at first. Eventually he starts to genuinely laugh more so than those two, who then get a little annoyed at him.
