muahahaha

Evil genius chuckle

Muahahaha is the written form of a stereotypical villain's laugh—deep, theatrical, and sinister.

It appears in comics, fiction, and casual writing to signal mock-evil glee or cartoonish menace: Muahahaha, my plan is working perfectly.

The spelling varies by how many "ha"s the writer includes.

Often used ironically to accompany minor mischief or petty victories.
