And the award for the most irritating /annoying laugh goes to....

Well, I knew the answer to that before I read post ??

Laughing all the way to the bank

I agree. It always sounds false to me.

Can't comment on Jimmy Carr's laugh as I've never heard it but it cannot be any more irritating than Elaine Paige's.

Gosh that's true baubles. She's got the most irritating laugh. We switch off at once if she comes on the radio.
Jimmy Carr certainly 'works' his odd laugh.

Yes, I thought Jimmy Carr as soon as I saw the thread title.
Elaine Page comes a close second judging by that clip although I'd not noticed her before.

Oh yes Jimmy Carr's false laugh and he always has that 'I have to put this ridiculous look on my face so that you know I'm a comedian' look.

Jimmy Carr

Yes Jimmy Carr - I can't watch him. Like Alan Carr however.

Yes, jimmy Car and Elaine Page.

Agree with Baubles about Elaine Paige. infact everything about Elaine Paige annoys me

I would add Michael Ball to the annoying laugh list. He constantly laughs at his own (pathetic) jokes and calls everyone "my lovely" ! what on earth's that about?

I think Jimmy Carr's laugh is put on for effect.

I can't stand Jimmy Carr at all. Sean Lock is not funny either. Sometime "8 out of 10 cats does countdown" can have some funny moments but most of the time I can't bear to watch it. Too crude!

Stampy Longnose....even worse than Jimmy Carr! To be found on YouTube.
