Back! After all this time. And it's carpets this time.

Just heard the laugh in an advert for Carpetrite. I was so surprised, it almost floored me!

We featured in Vanity Fair! Your Guide to the “Diddy Laugh,” a Sound Effect That’s Been Driving People Crazy for Decades

Diddy Laugh heard in Experian TV advert

Finally! I thought TV advertisers had grown bored of our favourite laughing child, but I needn't have worried. She's back, and she doesn't seem a day older.

Trailer for Woman in Black: Angel of Death

I enjoyed the first Woman in Black. It wasn't shockingly original, but seemed to combine the horror staples in a suitably creepy way.
So, for the sequel, it seems reasonable to show us the same creepy dolls and rocking chair moving on its own again.

But using the Diddy Laugh seems to remove the scares for me. This trailer makes a real feature of it. Twice! The first one is at 1 minute and 17 seconds

Heard in trailer for As Above So Below

This is a horror movie trailer, so it's not suitable for kids, but the laugh is loud and clear at 1 minute and 57 seconds.

The Diddy Laugh in Marvel Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D.

After a, frankly, pretty awful pilot episode, we get some compensation in the form of our favourite cliché sound effect.

It's quiet, but my keen ears miss nothing!

The Diddy Laugh in Justin's House

It has been a while since my kids watched Cbeebies, the BBC channel for young children, so it's not surprising that this passed me by. My daughter came running in from the living room and shouted "I've just heard the Diddy Laugh!"
I have trained her well.

The laugh is very quiet, at about 10 seconds into the opening titles.

Diddy Laugh in LA Noire

I heard this while playing the game, and didn't have time to note down exactly where it occurred. Took me ages to find it again a few days later!

It happens in this video at about 24.35, quietly in the background.
It's not the usual "up and down" bit of the laugh, it's the less common opening section.

 

Diddy Laugh in Hot Fuzz

Wasn't expecting this one. It almost passed me by, too.

Listen for it just as the injured guy is being wheeled away.

Heard in Starcraft 2

It's not often you hear the laugh in a computer game. Well, not since the original Diddy Kong Racing, of course.

Here it plays in a cutscene from StarCraft 2: Wings of Liberty.

Heard on Co-op Halloween advert

Just heard it loud and clear on the new Co-op ad:

Watch it here!

Heard on Brother Label Printer advert

It's a very quick snatch, but it's undoubtedly the Diddy Laugh. There are longer versions of this advert in America, but the laugh only seems to appear on this edit:

 Watch it on TellyAds.com

(The laugh appears at the very start, and again at 20 seconds)

Heard in The Chernobyl Diaries

Subtle one, this. Good ears, Rob! This is not the usual "up and down" section of the laugh, but a rarer early part: Anyone know if it appears in the actual film?

Olympic Opening Ceremony

Yes! Our favourite over-used sound effect found its way into Britain's fantastic showcase:

Heard on an advert for Quorn

The Diddy Laugh appears at the end, as Jane Horrocks says "best-ever tasting".

Spotted in Coma Girl

After a bit of a dry spell for Diddy Laugh spotting, we get two in one month!

This was in Coma Girl, which recently showed as part of Channel 4's comedy showcase.

You guessed it, it's a dream-like sequence with a sinister sounding child!

Red Rover TV commercial

Just spotted on UK Kids TV. An abbreviated Diddy Laugh. You'll have to fast-forward one minute into this video, to get past the uploader's ridiculously self-indulgent "intro".

Two laughs spotted in My Name Is Earl

Thanks for the comment, Jim. You put me on the trail of a real winner. Two laughs in one episode.

Another movie trailer, this time Southland Tales

Can you smell what the Rock is cooking? A rubbish film and a creepy sounding kid.

In opening titles of Taken

The Diddy Laugh plays almost right at the start of the film, as Liam Neeson is remembering his girl's birthday party.
