In comic books, where [[supervillain]]s utter such laughs, they are variously rendered as ''mwahahaha'', ''muwhahaha'', ''muahahaha'', ''bwahahaha'', etc.<ref name=zawacki_dignan2003/> These words are also commonly used on internet [[blog]]s, [[bulletin board system]]s, and games.

During the 1930s, the popular radio program ''[[The Shadow]]'' used a signature evil laugh as part of its presentation. This was voiced by actor [[Frank Readick]], and his laugh was used even after [[Orson Welles]] took over the lead role.<ref name=mott2009/> The evil laugh voiced by [[Vincent Price]] has been used or copied many times in radio, film, music, and television,{{citation needed|date=December 2010}} notably at the end of the music video ''[[Michael Jackson's Thriller (music video)|Michael Jackson's Thriller]]''. |

In films, evil laughter often fills the soundtrack when the villain is off-camera. In such cases, the laughter follows the hero or victim as they try to escape. An example of this is in ''[[Raiders of the Lost Ark]]'', where [[Belloq]]'s laugh fills the South American jungle as [[Indiana Jones (character)|Indiana Jones]] escapes from the Hovitos. |
