It’s fitting that the most iconic laughs of all time come from comedians. Two prime examples of this are Eddie Murphy and Seth Rogen, who both have authentic chuckles that people have been spoofing, mocking or imitating since the start of their respective careers. This was so rampant that when Murphy realized his laugh was the punchline, he dropped it entirely, and Seth Rogen considers the irony of it all to be very upsetting.

I spoke with Seth Rogen for his Amazon Prime show
"Sausage Party: Foodtopia." When I told him that Eddie Murphy had been consciously suppressing his natural laughter for decades, Rogen not only expressed how much the concept disturbed him, but of course had a hilarious take on it.
Transcript
00:00I was just talking to Eddie Murphy about you.
00:03Really?
00:03Yeah
00:04That's the craziest thing ever.
00:06I assume he hates me?
00:07That's it.
00:11He was talking about how he had to ditch his iconic laugh
00:13because he was sick of people talking about it.
00:16And I said, well, I'm about to talk to Seth Rogen.
00:18Should I ditch it?
00:20He looked in the camera and he said,
00:22Seth, you've done everything right.
00:24And keep doing that laugh.
00:26Look how far it's gotten you.
00:28Wow, look at that.
00:29Eddie fucking Murphy.
00:31That's crazy.
00:32Look at that.
00:33He still did the laugh, though, didn't he?
00:35No, he ditched it.
00:36It's gone.
00:39Did he only do it in the first Beverly Hills Conference?
00:41I think it was the first two.
00:43And Golden Child.
00:44He's doing that shit in Golden Child.
00:45Definitely Golden Child.
00:46For real?
00:47But then he stopped doing it?
00:48He intentionally stopped doing it,
00:49and then he went on his tangent about how difficult it was
00:51as a human being to take this natural element of you
00:54and then suppress it.
00:56A comedian taking their own laugh away.
00:58That's like the plot of The Little Mermaid.
01:03That is like a Pixar movie.
01:07That is really upsetting.
01:11Well, that's amazing.
01:12And the fact that he knows who I am is incredible.
