The Gribble Laugh

The Gribble Laugh, is the laugh that most hippies and alcoholic/high grown men exhibit, and own the name "Gribbler." Dale Gribble, a major character from the television show King of the Hill has this laugh, therefore creator of the name, the Gribble laugh. When people with the laugh find something humorous to their standards, they push all the air out of their lungs to make a harsh crackling sound. The harshness of the Gribble Laugh can vary from person to person, but the average "gribbler" does about the same laugh.

The laugh is normally done after a corny and/or unsuccessful joke made in at a party, big family occasion, or in an office meeting. Other gribblers do a gribble after they hear their natural gribble tribal call, resulting in the sounds of what you would think a bunch of out-of-breath cockroaches would sound like. It has been theorized by non-gribblers that gribblers are only doing this laugh to try to make their horrible joke seem funny by doing a painstakingly agonizing laugh. But is possible gribblers do a gribble just because they were born a gribbling gribbler.

Also known as "The Cockroach Laugh."
