Circle of Shame	comment	Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_1'); })The inversion of Laughing Mad - a character's humiliation is depicted with a pan around a group of people laughing at them, often in slow motion. May be more or less fancifully depicted, ranging from a simple shot of a bunch of people pointing and laughing, to a Fish-Eye Lens low-angle "swallowed up by the floor" shot Whip Panning from Grotesque sneering face to sneering face. Can occur in bad dreams, or can just be an Imagine Spot. If it happens for real, it's probably courtesy of The Freelance Shame Squad. Can be used in Flashback to set up They Called Me Mad! and/or Who's Laughing Now?

The film's DVD Commentary points out that, since all the characters are marionettes, lots of laughing puppet heads had to be constructed even though each of them would only appear in one shot.

Circle of Shame / int_c4282b71	comment	In My Little Pony: Friendship Is Magic: Discord's Break Them by Talking to Pinkie Pie in the Season 2 premiere convinces her that when she makes her friends laugh they are actually mocking her instead of having genuine fun with her. The scene features one of these to drive the point home, complete with mocking laughter as Pinkie trips and lands in the mud. In "Lesson Zero", Twilight Sparkle freaks out when she worries about being late sending in a friendship report. She has an Imagine Spot where she's sent back all the way to Magic Kindergarten, and all the little ponies are laughing at her. Later, Twilight hears some giggling little ponies at play in the park, and imagines that they're laughing at her. Same thing happened in "Hurricane Fluttershy" but with adult ponies, on account of it happening to her for real when she was a filly. Taken Up to Eleven when Fluttershy starts hallucinating about many, many disembodied eyes staring at her, laughing demonically.
