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.

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.

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

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

Alison Hammond.

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.

Jimmy Carr and Rosie Lee

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.

Absolutely Jimmy Carr 😫

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 😠

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 .

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.

Apparently, I have been known to laugh like Mutley smile

Now that made ME laugh! Thank you Knitandnatter.

Carol Vorderman-so false!

Georgesgran Tue 23-Jan-24 18:27:55

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!

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) ?

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.

Sorry, I think it's Rustie Lee.

I quite like Jules Hudson, but find his laugh annoying.

His laugh reminds me of the late Sid James.

Callistemon21 Tue 23-Jan-24 16:27:48

I can't watch Jimmy Carr full stop.

Parsley3 Tue 23-Jan-24 16:25:11

I can't watch anything with Jimmy Carr in case he laughs and that is a pity because I think that 9 out of 10 Cats might be quite entertaining.

Just to say AH's cackle drives DH potty 🤣

Callistemon21 Tue 23-Jan-24 16:08:02

I quite like Amanda Holden's cackle 🤣
I only watch her in that Italian villa programme with Alan Carr.
Separately, they can be really annoying but together they bounce off each other and they're very funny.

Kate Humble - it always sounds so false.
