For decades now, Jeff Goldblum has been one of our most interesting leading men—wait a minute, leading man? Is he a leading man? Is he a character actor? Both? Well, whatever the fuck he is, he was perfectly cast in The Fly and his acting choices and line readings are always worth a gander, akin to being the thinking person’s Nicolas Cage (if not vice versa).
His status as “blockbuster helper” was solidified in the mid-1990s when he appeared in two of that decade’s highest-grossing movies, 1993’s Jurassic Park and 1996’s Independence Day. Goldblum’s signature moment came in the former movie when his character, Dr. Ian Malcolm, asks Drs. Alan Grant and Ellie Sattler (Sam Neill and Laura Dern) whether they “dig up dinosaurs.” Receiving a tittering non-reply, Malcolm engages in a “knowing” laugh, which has a kitten’s aggressive purr mixed in, for no good reason other than to emphasize his unsavory and unctuous role as the movie’s reality principle (“Life, uh… finds a way”).
Some genius going by the name FLIPSH0T (actually Mikey Diserio of Melbourne, Australia) has put together a track with the completely apt and memorable title of “Hahahrawrrahaha.” FLIPSH0T took that ridiculous burst of incomprehensible bonhomie and generated a pretty sultry dance beat around it.
As far as the video below goes, please do NOT watch it all the way through—Jeff Goldblum laughing in a loop for 10 minutes has been clinically proven to induce diarrhea, schizophrenia, pleurisy, rickets, phlebitis, scurvy, and gout. You have been warned!
