Kefka was driven insane from being the first person to be infused with magic. He's now an omnicidal StrawNihilist laughing all the way.

** Lampshaded two times in ''VideoGame/FinalFantasyX'', first when Tidus and Yuna talk about the importance of being happy and burst onto a cheery, loud laughter with no apparent reason. When they turn around they see all others staring them with a weird look on their faces. When questioned, Wakka quietly says: "We thought that you lost your minds." Done second time in Thunder Planes, where Rikku - who's deathly afraid of thunder -- keep laughing nervously as they walk, prompting Tidus to comment on it: "[[IronicEcho Heh heh, heh]]. You're giving me the creeps!"

As the fight goes on and The Glitch gets hit [[HoistByHisOwnPetard by his own beams]], he begins to cackle more and more. On his final hit, he's cackling as much as he [[BulletHell rains down shots]] on Garfield.
* Father Grigori, the Zombie-slaughtering BadassPreacher of ''VideoGame/HalfLife2'' often breaks down into short bursts of maniacal laughter due to him being driven to insanity after the citizens of Ravenholm have become zombies.
* Daniella from ''VideoGame/HauntingGround''. She does this in cutscenes in a very creepy manner and at a certain stage of insanity while chasing you.
** [[spoiler:Fiona too, in the worst ending]].
* The trademark sound of the [[ActionBomb Heaven]] [[OurZombiesAreDifferent Smiles]] in ''VideoGame/Killer7''. They introduce themselves with a little chuckle, and when they attack, they erupt into one of the most psychotic cackles ever recorded. Even when they die, they go nuts with laughter. They also happen to share this trait with their creator, Kun Lan.
* [[VideoGame/TheKingOfFighters Iori Yagami]]'s trademark win pose is to hold his head while laughing uproariously. Considering his Orochi heritage can mess with his sanity, this definitely qualifies.

* ''Franchise/MegaMan'':
** Dr. Weil from the ''VideoGame/MegaManZero'' series qualifies, especially when taking into account the relevation of [[spoiler:his survival from Ragnarok's attack and his reaction after Zero defeated him the first time.]]
** Serpent from ''VideoGame/MegaManZX'' qualifies, considering his reaction to being absorbed by Model W's core.
*** Prometheus gets a pretty good one in Advent after he [[spoiler:kills the [[ActuallyADoombot Albert decoy.]]]]
*** Siarnaq has this in the original Japanese release. It was [[DubPersonalityChange changed]] to match the rest of his CreepyMonotone in the English dub.
** Zero from the ''VideoGame/MegaManX'' series (while he was still an Irregular, a.k.a. "Maverick" in the international releases) also had bouts of the trope in the Japanese release, made especially apparent when he was [[NoHoldsBarredBeatdown beating Sigma to a pulp when the latter was at his mercy]]. Downplayed to inconsistent {{Narm}} levels in the English dub.
* Done with ''Laughing Octopus'' in ''VideoGame/MetalGearSolid4GunsOfThePatriots''. Since she was {{mind rape}}d and turned into a psychopathic killer as a teenage girl, she never stopped laughing, even though her memories were constantly torturing her. She laughs throughout the entire boss fight and falls down laughing when she is fatally shot, making her a quite creepy encounter and not funny at all. At one very brief moment of relative clarity before dying she even says "No, nothing is funny. I shouldn't be laughing."
** Ed of Meryl's Rat Patrol 1 group, after the SOP system was locked down due to it refusing Liquid's DNA, went Laughing Mad.
* Raiden goes through this in ''VideoGame/MetalGearRisingRevengeance'' after embracing his Jack the Ripper persona prior to his battle with Monsoon. To see the previously calm and collected Raiden gleefully chop apart three enemy cyborgs after turning off his pain inhibitors is nothing short of chilling.
* Ribsmasher, a [[AxCrazy batshit insane]] monk in ''VideoGame/NeverwinterNights2: Storm of Zehir''[[note]]He made a couple brief appearances in the original campaign but turned into an AscendedExtra in the second expansion.[[/note]] In [[LargeHam literally every line he has large chunks of scenery get chewed]], and they all involve raucous laughter and/or smashing ribs.
** The [[AxCrazy Manic Psychotic voiceset]] does this a lot as well. Including when he ''dies'', which takes the usually hilariously hammy voicing into creepy territory.
* Iggy Koopa, one of the Koopalings, is depicted as Laughing Mad in ''VideoGame/NewSuperMarioBrosWii''. Given that the (English) post defeat narrative on Iggy in ''VideoGame/SuperMarioWorld'' described him as "[[AxCrazy demented]]," this shouldn't come as a surprise.
* In ''VideoGame/PokemonRubyAndSapphire'', this occurs in the ''Ruby'' remake ''Omega Ruby''. Maxie goes from being calm to [[spoiler:going insane due to having acquired the Red Orb he needs to put Groudon under his control. He first beats Archie, and after you beat Maxie, he refuses to back down and uses the Red Orb against Tabitha's pleas to not do it. After Groudon awakens and approaches Sootopolis City, Maxie hysterically laughs, even proudly informing his grunts his plan is complete...only to realize that Groudon is not obeying Maxie's commands, which forces Maxie to join Archie's plan to stop Groudon's attempt to destroy the Pokemon world with its Drought.]]
* [[spoiler: Wheatley]] from ''Videogame/Portal2'' has a fit of this when [[spoiler: he's attached to [=GLaDOS=]'s chassis. The programming of the mainframe drives him [[DrunkWithPower mad with power]], which causes him to become awfully sadistic. His bout of laughter also classifies as EvilLaugh, and marks his FaceHeelTurn]].
* Kubikiri Basara from the ''VideoGame/SamuraiShodown'' series. His post-mortem insanity has him hunting down Minazuki Zankuro and giggling all the way.
* [[spoiler:Revya]] from ''VideoGame/SoulNomadAndTheWorldEaters'' gets a pretty good laugh in the bad ending of the Demon Path.
* In ''VideoGame/StringTyrant'' Pygmalie does this in her first dialogue with the player. It's another hint that she's not all there.
* In ''VideoGame/SuikodenII'', the main villain, [[AxCrazy Luca Blight]] is known to often punctuate his [[MoralEventHorizon horrific]] actions with a horse like [[AxCrazy psycho]] and EvilLaugh. However, when he is finally near death, he lets out a speal of insane laughter filling up more than 3 dialogue boxes that can't be classified as anything but this.
* In ''VideoGame/SuperPaperMario'', a [[EverythingsBetterWithSamurai Sammer Guy]], appropriately named Laughing X-Naut, laughs a long, loud laugh as [[spoiler:the Void in his dimension fully matures, destroying his entire universe. He laughs all the way until his inevitable annihilation]].
** Dimentio also has this personality, being a deranged, evil jester who casually jokes as he [[spoiler:tries to kill the heroes and eventually hatches his own plot to destroy the world.]]
* Zagi, from ''VideoGame/TalesOfVesperia''. About 50% of his dialogue is maniacal laughter, [[AxeCrazy 25% is about how much he wants to "carve Yuri's name into his blood"]], [[TalkativeLoon and the remaining 25% is utter nonsense]].
* In ''VideoGame/TelepathTactics'', ClimaxBoss Archos does this as part of his LastWords.
* Paprika from ''VideoGame/ThemsFightinHerds'' is so happy and insane, she can't even properly speak, so half of her "dialouge" is her cheerfully laughing like a lunatic.
* In the anarch and independent endings of ''VideoGame/VampireTheMasqueradeBloodlines'', [[spoiler:Sebastian [=LaCroix=]]] gets down with the best of them when he realizes that [[spoiler:the MacGuffin he just opened is not so much a 'gateway to infinite power' as a 'gateway to horrible burning pain' and he's been played for an UnwittingPawn]].
* Lezard Valeth from ''VideoGame/ValkyrieProfile'' should not be forgotten. [[spoiler:When he lost all his apparent sanity at the end of the game, he's [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nBhksfGFiQ8 really scary]]]]. His [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vNJzIVgtyAc&feature=related break mode]] is epic, too.
* Albedo in ''VideoGame/{{Xenosaga}}''. His first freak-out, back in the past, involves him [[spoiler:interfacing with U-DO]] and laughing like a maniac. Considering he looks about nine years old at the time, this is profoundly disturbing.
** Or that he's laughing while ripping himself ''apart''.
----
* [[spoiler:Adele]] from ''VideoGame/ArcRiseFantasia'' took finding out that she was an UnluckyChildhoodFriend [[IfICantHaveYou very]] [[FreakOut badly]].
* '''VideoGame/BatenKaitos Origins'': [[spoiler:TheStinger shows an insane and thoroughly broken Geldoblame limping back Alfard where the remaining senators name him emperor as they all believe that he the only person left fit to rule. It culminates with Geldoblame demanding that Georg is brought to him and ends with new emperor of Alfard laughing hysterically as the events of the first game are set in motion.]]
* ''VideoGame/BlazBlue'' showcases Jin Kisaragi's slow descent into madness, and once he finally finds Ragna the Bloodedge, he completely snaps and starts speaking to him in a rather [[HoYay disturbing manner]]. Then there's [[WasOnceAMan Arakune]], who ends as many as half of his dialogues with raving VoiceOfTheLegion laughter. [[RobotGirl Nu-13]] doesn't seem like the laughing type, but has been known to cackle admirably on occasion. And then there's Terumi...''[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bpZOhOi_-Po#t=10s god]][[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GTCFLikQf_8#t=14s damn]]''. All in all, the ''VideoGame/BlazBlue'' world could probably do with sedatives in the water supply.
* Common in ''VideoGame/{{Borderlands 2}}''. Goliath enemies who've [[BerserkButton had their helmets shot off]] will butcher their teammates while laughing uproariously, while playable Psycho Krieg, who has grave difficulty interacting with the world in non-buzz-axe ways, has quite the selection of deranged laughter himself.
* ''VideoGame/BreathOfFireIV'''s Fou-lu starts laughing [[spoiler:after realising that [[HumanResources Mami was used to fuel]] the Hex Cannon]], [[TheLastStraw which is what ultimately breaks him]] and decide to KillEmAll on those bastard humans.
* In ''VideoGame/CaveStory'''s BonusDungeon, the boss Ballos states that when his magic went wild and he killed everyone in the kingdom, he could only stand where he was and laugh.
* In ''VideoGame/CityOfHeroes'', one of the EnemyChatter for the [[AnarchyIsChaos Freakshow]] is simply a manic laugh, which was demonstrated by one Freak in the original trailer.
* Ripper Roo from ''VideoGame/CrashBandicoot''. Experiments by Dr. Cortex turned him into a raving, laughing, straitjacket-wearing lunatic. All of his dialogue consists of insane laughter, with subtitles to translate. He also has a tendency to play with explosives, despite this usually [[HoistByHisOwnPetard resulting in his defeat]].
* In one Franchise/CthulhuMythos based {{MUD}} the status of your SanityMeter is represented by various adjectives, with the adjective varying depending upon how high or low it is. Well, except for when your sanity hits rock bottom. At that point the adjective is replaced by "HAHAHAHAHA!!!", with each "HA" [[PaintingTheMedium being a different color]].
* The Jester class in ''Videogame/DarkestDungeon'' will go from TheHyena to this trope if he undergoes an affliction, as he clearly goes off his rocker by laughing constantly and/or being interrupted with sobbing.
* [[VideoGame/{{Darkstalkers}} Jedah Dohma]] maniacally laughs as he watches the apocalypse in his ending in ''VideoGame/CapcomFightingEvolution''… unwittingly distracting him from [[VideoGame/DevilMayCry Dante]] having arrived to kill him.
* ''VideoGame/DawnOfWar'': Chaos Space Marines and Imperial Guard Psykers are inclined towards fits of raucous laughter audible to enemies as the Warp seeps in and out of their brain. The psykers, by the way, are with the good guys.
* Adam the Clown in ''VideoGame/DeadRising'' laughs all the way through his monologue when he recalls his audience being eaten by zombies.
** After bring defeated, he laughs and falls. Onto his still running chainsaws. The laughter doesn't stop until he's dead...
*** And it doesn't just get weaker and weaker. It gets '''deeper and slower'''.
** Brent "Slappy" Ernst of ''VideoGame/DeadRising2'' also engages in this during his boss fight, such as when performing a fire spin and/or shouting things like "I'm a little teapot!"
* [[spoiler:Pokey Minch]] seemingly loses his mind in the final battle of ''VideoGame/EarthBound1994'', blithely releasing the lock on Giygas (purportedly his 'boss'). This renders Giygas unable to stem the tide of his power, which threatens to consume the entire universe. [[spoiler:Pokey]] addresses the player to admit he's afraid. And laughs.
** In the direct sequel ''VideoGame/Mother3'', the team confronts a decrepit version of [[spoiler:Pokey]], who has sent his robotic minion to bring forth the Dark Dragon. Until this point, it's unclear whether or not he has any idea what the Dark Dragon -- a godlike being that fulfills the heart's desire of whoever summons it -- will do if that summoner literally ''[[TheHeartless has no heart]]''. Turns out, [[spoiler:Pokey]] has gradually come to the same conclusion:
--->''"If the dragon wakes up, it might end up destroying everything and extinguishing all life. Even so ............[[DrunkWithPower ahaha aha ahahahahahaha!!]]"''
* The first sign that Alex's hold on reality in ''VideoGame/EternalDarkness'' may be none too steady is the way her sobs when she first sees her grandfather's dead body are shot through with thin veins of laughter.
** Maximillian Roivas hits this trope for brief intervals in his monster autopsy narrations, as well.
* If [[PsychoForHire Ryuji]] [[VideoGame/FatalFury Yamazaki]] is feeling jovial, you know the walls are about to be painted red.
* ''Franchise/FinalFantasy'':
** Kefka Palazzo from ''VideoGame/FinalFantasyVI'' is the partial TropeNamer, as his final boss music is titled "Dancing Mad". Kefka was driven insane from being the first person to be infused with magic. He's now an omnicidal StrawNihilist laughing all the way. To take this up a step, he actually ''does'' laugh quite a bit -- and [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CyZoe-r9qb0 his laugh has its own sound clip.]]
** In ''VideoGame/FinalFantasyVII'', one of the first signs that Sephiroth went mad upon learning about his supposedly being the last Ancient is chuckling dementedly as Cloud/[[spoiler:Zack]] entered the lab he was researching inside.
** Kuja in ''VideoGame/FinalFantasyIX'' went Laughing Mad as soon as he learns from [[spoiler:Garland's disembodied spirit]] that [[spoiler:he'll die soon]].
** Lampshaded two times in ''VideoGame/FinalFantasyX'', first when Tidus and Yuna talk about the importance of being happy and burst onto a cheery, loud laughter with no apparent reason. When they turn around they see all others staring them with a weird look on their faces. When questioned, Wakka quietly says: "We thought that you lost your minds." Done second time in Thunder Planes, where Rikku - who's deathly afraid of thunder -- keep laughing nervously as they walk, prompting Tidus to comment on it: "[[IronicEcho Heh heh, heh]]. You're giving me the creeps!"
* In ''VideoGame/FireEmblemThreeHouses'', if Byleth chose the Blue Lions, when Dimitri discovers the Flame Emperor's true identity, [[GoMadFromTheRevelation he's reduced to cackling]] [[NightmareFace with an unhinged expression on his face.]] [[spoiler:Then he goes killing everyone in the room while trying to rip Edelgard's head off.]]
** He can deliver another one [[spoiler: after becoming a ruthless killer after the 5 year timeskip. His reaction to Byleth saying they [[https://youtu.be/air6nHnR40k?t=119 couldn't watch him torture an enemy general]], and instead gave him a MercyKill, is to laugh manically about it.]]
* ''VideoGame/GarfieldCaughtInTheAct'': The final level of the game, Season Finale, has Garfield face off against The Glitch, who already has a noticeable cackle. As the fight goes on and The Glitch gets hit [[HoistByHisOwnPetard by his own beams]], he begins to cackle more and more. On his final hit, he's cackling as much as he [[BulletHell rains down shots]] on Garfield.
* Father Grigori, the Zombie-slaughtering BadassPreacher of ''VideoGame/HalfLife2'' often breaks down into short bursts of maniacal laughter due to him being driven to insanity after the citizens of Ravenholm have become zombies.
* Daniella from ''VideoGame/HauntingGround''. She does this in cutscenes in a very creepy manner and at a certain stage of insanity while chasing you.
** [[spoiler:Fiona too, in the worst ending]].
* The trademark sound of the [[ActionBomb Heaven]] [[OurZombiesAreDifferent Smiles]] in ''VideoGame/Killer7''. They introduce themselves with a little chuckle, and when they attack, they erupt into one of the most psychotic cackles ever recorded. Even when they die, they go nuts with laughter. They also happen to share this trait with their creator, Kun Lan.
* [[VideoGame/TheKingOfFighters Iori Yagami]]'s trademark win pose is to hold his head while laughing uproariously. Considering his Orochi heritage can mess with his sanity, this definitely qualifies.
* Hyness from ''VideoGame/KirbyStarAllies'' is easily the most insane villain in the series to date and stresses that fact with about half of his battle noises being crazed laughter and giggles, the other half being incoherent screeching and snorting.
* ''Franchise/TheLegendOfZelda'':
** ''VideoGame/TheLegendOfZeldaTheWindWaker'': [[spoiler:Ganondorf laughs [[VillainousBreakdown in complete madness]] when he sees King Daphnes [[NinjaLooting touch the Triforce before he could]] and wish for Hyrule to be washed away. Permanently.]]
** ''VideoGame/TheLegendOfZeldaTwilightPrincess'': [[spoiler:Zant]] after [[VillainousBreakdown breaking down]] over the course of the battle against him.
** ''VideoGame/TheLegendOfZeldaBreathOfTheWild'': [[spoiler:Master Kogha]] at the end of the fight against him. [[spoiler:Maybe not as good an example since he’s harder to take seriously, unlike Ganondorf and Zant, but still.]]
* ''Franchise/MegaMan'':
** Dr. Weil from the ''VideoGame/MegaManZero'' series qualifies, especially when taking into account the relevation of [[spoiler:his survival from Ragnarok's attack and his reaction after Zero defeated him the first time.]]
** Serpent from ''VideoGame/MegaManZX'' qualifies, considering his reaction to being absorbed by Model W's core.
*** Prometheus gets a pretty good one in Advent after he [[spoiler:kills the [[ActuallyADoombot Albert decoy.]]]]
*** Siarnaq has this in the original Japanese release. It was [[DubPersonalityChange changed]] to match the rest of his CreepyMonotone in the English dub.
** Zero from the ''VideoGame/MegaManX'' series (while he was still an Irregular, a.k.a. "Maverick" in the international releases) also had bouts of the trope in the Japanese release, made especially apparent when he was [[NoHoldsBarredBeatdown beating Sigma to a pulp when the latter was at his mercy]]. Downplayed to inconsistent {{Narm}} levels in the English dub.
* Done with ''Laughing Octopus'' in ''VideoGame/MetalGearSolid4GunsOfThePatriots''. Since she was {{mind rape}}d and turned into a psychopathic killer as a teenage girl, she never stopped laughing, even though her memories were constantly torturing her. She laughs throughout the entire boss fight and falls down laughing when she is fatally shot, making her a quite creepy encounter and not funny at all. At one very brief moment of relative clarity before dying she even says "No, nothing is funny. I shouldn't be laughing."
** Ed of Meryl's Rat Patrol 1 group, after the SOP system was locked down due to it refusing Liquid's DNA, went Laughing Mad.
* Raiden goes through this in ''VideoGame/MetalGearRisingRevengeance'' after embracing his Jack the Ripper persona prior to his battle with Monsoon. To see the previously calm and collected Raiden gleefully chop apart three enemy cyborgs after turning off his pain inhibitors is nothing short of chilling.
* Ribsmasher, a [[AxCrazy batshit insane]] monk in ''VideoGame/NeverwinterNights2: Storm of Zehir''[[note]]He made a couple brief appearances in the original campaign but turned into an AscendedExtra in the second expansion.[[/note]] In [[LargeHam literally every line he has large chunks of scenery get chewed]], and they all involve raucous laughter and/or smashing ribs.
** The [[AxCrazy Manic Psychotic voiceset]] does this a lot as well. Including when he ''dies'', which takes the usually hilariously hammy voicing into creepy territory.
* Iggy Koopa, one of the Koopalings, is depicted as Laughing Mad in ''VideoGame/NewSuperMarioBrosWii''. Given that the (English) post defeat narrative on Iggy in ''VideoGame/SuperMarioWorld'' described him as "[[AxCrazy demented]]," this shouldn't come as a surprise.
* In ''VideoGame/PokemonRubyAndSapphire'', this occurs in the ''Ruby'' remake ''Omega Ruby''. Maxie goes from being calm to [[spoiler:going insane due to having acquired the Red Orb he needs to put Groudon under his control. He first beats Archie, and after you beat Maxie, he refuses to back down and uses the Red Orb against Tabitha's pleas to not do it. After Groudon awakens and approaches Sootopolis City, Maxie hysterically laughs, even proudly informing his grunts his plan is complete...only to realize that Groudon is not obeying Maxie's commands, which forces Maxie to join Archie's plan to stop Groudon's attempt to destroy the Pokemon world with its Drought.]]
* [[spoiler: Wheatley]] from ''Videogame/Portal2'' has a fit of this when [[spoiler: he's attached to [=GLaDOS=]'s chassis. The programming of the mainframe drives him [[DrunkWithPower mad with power]], which causes him to become awfully sadistic. His bout of laughter also classifies as EvilLaugh, and marks his FaceHeelTurn]].
* Kubikiri Basara from the ''VideoGame/SamuraiShodown'' series. His post-mortem insanity has him hunting down Minazuki Zankuro and giggling all the way.
* [[spoiler:Revya]] from ''VideoGame/SoulNomadAndTheWorldEaters'' gets a pretty good laugh in the bad ending of the Demon Path.
* In ''VideoGame/StringTyrant'' Pygmalie does this in her first dialogue with the player. It's another hint that she's not all there.

However, when he is finally near death, he lets out a speal of insane laughter filling up more than 3 dialogue boxes that can't be classified as anything but this.
* In ''VideoGame/SuperPaperMario'', a [[EverythingsBetterWithSamurai Sammer Guy]], appropriately named Laughing X-Naut, laughs a long, loud laugh as [[spoiler:the Void in his dimension fully matures, destroying his entire universe. He laughs all the way until his inevitable annihilation]].
** Dimentio also has this personality, being a deranged, evil jester who casually jokes as he [[spoiler:tries to kill the heroes and eventually hatches his own plot to destroy the world.]]
* Zagi, from ''VideoGame/TalesOfVesperia''. About 50% of his dialogue is maniacal laughter, [[AxeCrazy 25% is about how much he wants to "carve Yuri's name into his blood"]], [[TalkativeLoon and the remaining 25% is utter nonsense]].

* Paprika from ''VideoGame/ThemsFightinHerds'' is so happy and insane, she can't even properly speak, so half of her "dialouge" is her cheerfully laughing like a lunatic.
