I have to vote Dave too. I actually told people how much I liked that laugh after he sub-teached the improv class I'm in. The two part 'haaa-hah' was nice, but if it was a really great moment, you got the coveted 'Ha HAAH HAH'.

It was funny...I don't even know Roy's brother's laught, but I could pick it out each time. I think there's a similarity to Roy in there.

Dav
Caitlin

Those laughs get me everytime. They were the ones I heard while learning the craft and will forever be ingrained as the ultimate marks of approval.

majcher's laugh used to scare me.
before i got to know him.
before he turned into a monster.

but i think that
jay, caitlin, lamb, dave, and shana
have a 5 way laugh to the death competition in their futures.

and crouch, too, i guess, when u make him laugh on stage.
but he'd be the first to die, probly.

i am proud to have made these people laugh once or twice.
and to have improvised with all of them once or twice too.

and i pledge to kill them all with laughter at some point in my life.

like the joker in The Dark Knight Returns.
that book is wicked.

If you disrespect your character, or play it just for laughs, it will sell some gags, but it's all technique.

I have a sick fantasy of doing a stand-up set and making someone choke to death with laughter and in making fun of that guy post mortem, one by one I kill every person in the room.

Not so much a fantasy as a wicked thought I had once a few years ago.

I shouldn't have said anything... but I'm going to submit this anyway.
