A seriously laughing matter

[TNickey2003]

LOL on Dark Shadows.

Like all the ones mentioned in the survey.  As for OTHERS not listed, loved it when [spoiler]Barnabas cracks up when Nicholas Blair literally goes up in flames at the end of the Adam plotline.  Also like when B laughs in the dream Liz has to become a Leviathan and also when he's laughing at Paul Stoddard at the Blue Whale when he fills Paul in on his 'obligation' to the Leviathans.  You rarely saw Barnabas laugh so it's always a treat![/spoiler]

It seems that there was a dream sequence during the Leviathan storyline involving David, Elizabeth, fun house mirrors, and a camera with a very visible "ABC" logo.  IIRC, Elizabeth was laughing very heartily at the mirrors and some lame jokes that David was telling.  It sticks with me because it seemed so out of character for Elizabeth.  Or, maybe I dreamed the whole thing myself.

If only you had, ShadowsAtlanta - but, no, it actually took place. And as I've posted before, I think it's one of the absolute weirdest, if not THE absolute weirdest dream ever on DS.

Indeed it is, and my favorite of all the dream sequences on the show!

Actually, my favorite crazy laugh is in 1795 when Milicent does her Ophelia bit descent into madness (a combination of Hamlet's Ophelia and the movie "Gaslight"). Peter Bradford knocks on the Collinwood door looking for Ben Stokes when Milicent answers appearing dishelveled and bleary-eyed. When told that Ben was [spoiler]digging the grave for "poor Josette", Milicent asks that he take a message to Barnabas. When the stoic Peter informs her that Barnabas is dead[/spoiler]- Milicent does her crazy Ophelia laughter while sauntering into the drawing room. Gotta admit, good reaction acting from RD. It was like - oh well, another crazy day at the Collins family. The completely dead-pan and baffled Peter dissapears back into the darkness.

Indeed, stefan - that is one of my favorite Millicent moments, too.

Since I just watched it recently, I would go with Nicholas' evil laughter at Cassandra's new "manicure."  (Clever thing to call it!)  It's understated and, if evil laughter can ever sound natural, fairly plausible. 

I do like Angelique's evil laugh but all too often they replaced it with some canned laugh from an actress who sounded as if she'd gotten into Roger Collins' secret Scotch stash.

Special mention has to made of Julia's demented laughter when lawyer Tony Peterson states his belief that Roger is the individual Julia does not want to get his paws on her diary.  I just love the Divine One's laughter from beyond the border of sanity: "Ra-ha-ha-ha-ha-HA-jerr!" Great stuff.

Well, I voted for Angelique's muffled evil-little-girl giggles, and let me tell you there's a woman with whom I work whose laugh sounds an awful lot like Angelique's.  Sometimes I'll be hard at work on a report, and I hear her crack up in a distant cubicle: it's startling, and sometimes sets me to wondering if something wicked this way comes. 

That said, I hafta agree with Gothick - love Nicky Blair's guffaws when he gives Cassangelique his version of a manicure!

[Amy Jennings Fan]

I liked the way Barnabus cracked up when Nicholas Blair was sent back to you know where.

[Garth Blackwood]

Nicholas' fancy manicure that he gave Angelique was awesome and hilarious, but I don't remember his particular laugh being that memorable. Quentin's laughter with the music is probably my vote (by the way I dont know how to vote). Also Petofi laughing at Quentin or possibly Aristede (I'm not sure if that happened) would probably be my vote if it were up there

(by the way I dont know how to vote)

The voting period for most of these polls has already closed, so new votes aren't allowed in them. But once someone posts a new poll, you should probably have no trouble.

I particularly like to hear Magda's deep husky laugh!  IT was great!  However, one can not ignore the greatest laugh of the series:  Angelique’s! 

[Garth Blackwood]

Have I mentioned that Angelique's laughter made me want to throw things at the TV?

[MagnusTrask]

Who can forget that great laugh when [spoiler]Tim put that last brick into place and Greg Trask was a goner....![/spoiler]   Wait, I forgot, that was me!
