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 Great Mouse Detective. Basil suffers this after he falls into the trap of the Big Bad, who along with his henchman jeer and laugh at him. This sends Basil into a fit of depression, not even trying to escape from their Death Trap until a Get A Hold Of Yourself Man from Dawson snaps him out of it. | |

Used in an episode of The Weekenders when Carver gets his revenge on an Alpha Bitch by tricking her into showing up to the mall wearing a snorkel mask, a bathing suit, and flippers under the false impression she'll get to meet her favourite celebrity. Because of her ridiculous appearance, this results. | |

In My Hero Academia, Izuku Midoriya is caught in one of these as his entire middle school class laughs in his face for declaring that he wants to apply to U.A., the best superhero school in the country, without a Quirk.

Used in Thunderbird 6 - The Movie. When Brains outlines his idea of building an airship, a roomful of air industry executives laugh at him. 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. | |

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. |

A quite literal version in What We Do in the Shadows where Nick, for breaking the Vampire code, is subjected to a "really harsh punishment" called "the Procession of Shame". It turns out it is just the other vampires circling him for five minutes while pointing and chanting "Shame!" and "Bad vampire!" at him. | |

Carrie (1976) features this in the prom scene. After she gets pig's blood dunked on her and Tommy dies from the bucket, she sees the whole crowd laughing at her—though the kaleidoscope camera implies this is a delusion. Nonetheless, she still goes on a Tranquil Fury Roaring Rampage of Revenge. Carrie's mother was paranoid about this immediately prior to the prom. |
