Celebrities with annoying laughs

Maybe an annoying laugh is less noticeable if you're in someone's company, but when that person is on the radio/tv it seems much more noticeable .... or perhaps it's just me being curmudgeonly (sp?) ?

I'll start with Amanda Holden's "witch's cackle" and Vernon Kaye's manic laugh.

Sorry, I think it's Rustie Lee.

Oldnproud I'm so sorry if my post upset you. flowers Have you thought that the child who made that comment to you might have just been bitchy and mean (as children often are) ?

Apparently, I have been known to laugh like Mutley smile

Don't worry, Sparklefizz, I can take it. smile. I genuinely didnt set out to spoil your thread, which is on a perfectly valid topic.
And I have to admit that despite my personal experience, I have found myself agreeing very strongly about some of the names that have been mentioned above.

I’ve got to agree with all the aforementioned - AH, AC and EP especially.
Unfortunately when my DDs get together and find something hilarious they sound like a pair of seals!

Carol Vorderman-so false!

Switch off Radio2 on a Sunday when Elaine Page comes on - such an irritating laugh. Another similar one for me is the new presenter on Bake Off.

The worst laugh of all is Rusty Lee (female chef) because she says something as if it is a joke (it isn't) and then laughs uncontrollably. I think what makes it worse is the fact that she is laughing at absolutely nothing.

Oh how I agree she drives me mad. Any programme she is in I recond and fast forward her part. I also hate Alison Hammond's laugh in fact I do not like anything about her .
By the way I once started a similat kind of thread asking " who gets up your nose " and was rebuked about it .

Kemah Bob's voice and laugh is really irritating .
I had to switch the House of Games off when she was a contestant .

I am with you on this, so irritating 😠

Absolutely Jimmy Carr 😫

Actually, I find Elaine Paige’s laugh contagious - it makes me laugh too 😂😂. Some people have a laugh like that, I find. There’s a lady at a cafe I go to - her laugh makes me giggle, too.

Jimmy Carr and Rosie Lee

I’m just glad people are laughing and I’ve never thought about it being annoying. I’m so pleased always to listen to happiness rather than all the misery and negativity that’s on the tv these days.

Alison Hammond.

Mikecelso Fri 26-Jan-24 11:09:31

How would someone pay such close attention to another person's laugh 😃

Suzieque66 Fri 26-Jan-24 11:09:36

And when they all cackle over each other on the cooking programs Saturday morning ...

swampygirl Fri 26-Jan-24 11:14:57

I notice that Jimmy Carr has been mentioned several times.
He is one person that grates on me. So much so, that I have to turn off the programme that he's appearing on.
And yes, I agree, Amanda Holden does sound like a cackling witch.

Totally agree!

Elaine Page and Jimmy Carr!

There are personalities whose laughs are their trademarks, especially when they are in character. www.facebook.com/watch/?v=591529649495401

The worst two.........and not just for their laughs.

The worst for me and she ruins Sunday afternoon listening is Elaine Paige’s cackle! Awful - sometimes I think it’s deliberate.
There are so many - Alison Hammond
Alain Carr
It’s a switch off moment

Mojack26 Fri 26-Jan-24 11:23:52

Amanda Holden for me too! She actually cackles. Claudia Winkleman screeches...lol
