The Laughing Lizard, also known as the 'hhhehehe' lizard, features a close-up image of a Cuban rock iguana that appears to be chuckling with a wide, toothless grin. The meme first gained widespread popularity on platforms like Tumblr and Reddit around 2011, typically used as a reaction image to signify a subtle, mischievous, or cheeky reaction to a joke. Its iconic onomatopoeic caption 'hhhehehe' perfectly captures the sound of a silent, wheezing laugh. Over the years, the template has remained a staple of internet culture for reacting to puns, dad jokes, or scenarios where someone is being intentionally smug about a clever observation.
