JD Vance’s Laugh Sounds Like the ‘Joker’ and It’s So Incredibly CREEPY

This is actually pretty creepy.

Here’s a piece to lighten the mood after all the bad news you have to read every day! Okay, maybe not, because it’s kind of disturbing. But it IS pretty funny, so let’s give it a shot.

For a guy who likes to make so much fun of the way other people talk, JD Vance sure isn’t very good at it himself. Not only has he been embroiled in some pretty notable gaffes, but the stuff he says on purpose is pretty bad, too.

But it’s not all about substance all the time.

Sometimes, you just have to sit back and enjoy how terrible a man’s style of delivery is, especially if he’s running for the nation’s number two job. Donald Trump is a hard act to follow if you’re aiming for incomprehensible, mean, and untrue. But Vance does an admirable job of at least mimicking all three.

For starters, there’s the fact that Trump LOVES to veer wildly off-script. He doesn’t like being told what to do or say, and often thinks that the nonsense swimming around in his little orange gremlin brain is better than the stuff he pays his speechwriters for. He is a very stable genius, after all.

That’s not the case with Vance, but he matches Trump’s unpredictability with the fact that he seems to NEVER go off script.

The wry observers over at MeidasTouch.com noticed that, down to his creepy laugh. They posted a video clip of him laughing during a rally speech, looped the clip a few times for effect, and captioned it “Why does JD Vance laugh like he is reading the words ha ha ha off a teleprompter[?]”

But it was the commenters who had the last laugh this time, noting that it sounds an awful lot like the recorded laugh inside The Joker’s bag at the very end of Tim Burton’s 1989 version of Batman, with Jack Nicholson in the villain role.

Did I say this laugh was creepy? It’s creepy.

Sure, there were plenty of people who commented on the original observation.

But people kept coming back to The Joker. And finally someone posted a side-by-side comparison, and let me tell you: Creepy.
