An '''evil laugh''' is a stock [[manic]] [[laugh]] by a [[villain]] in [[fiction]]. In comic books, where [[supervillain]]s utter such laughs, it is variously rendered as ''mwahaha'', ''muwhahaha'', ''bwahaha'', or ''kyahaha'' (female version) (Compared to ''[[Ho ho ho]]''). These words are also commonly used on internet [[Blogs]], [[BBSes]], and games. There, they are generally used when some form of victory is attained, or to indicate [[superiority]] over someone else. The words are often used as either [[interjection]]s or less frequently, as nouns. An evil laugh is often entertaining for friends because each one may be unique. |
