The World is in Short Supply of Laughing Children
Posted February 1, 2007 by Chris Or so you would think given the number of commercials that use the single giggling child sound effect. Here’s what I’m talking about:
This sound ships with Trillian as the “LOL” sound, and can be found (I almost expect it) in any commercial that features children enjoying a product or toy. I’ve seen it in Mattel commercials, Fisher Price, Slip and Slide, Mini-Helicopters, even this commercial for GelliBaff, a powder that turns your child’s bath water into a brightly coloured slime, and another powder that turns it back into water. Is the world really so short on laughing children that there aren’t an abundance of laughing children sound clips? Let us know what commercials you’ve found this clip in the comments - links to the actual commercials are a bonus! Or maybe we can all upload clips of laughing children so that marketers will have some obvious alternatives the next time they need to find a single laughing child.

I googled this thinking that I was the only one that noticed that, but yea there’s alot of commercials with that clip. I think Toyota Sienna commercial where the dad finished the treehouse and the kids would rather stay in the van uses that clip. There’s ton of other one’s but I can’t think of any. Darn.
