[3] The Laughing Baby video, which was shot by a Swedish man in his kitchen in 2006,[4] has a running time of 1:40, and involves a fixed camera situated on William Nilsson,[5] a blond-haired, blue eyed baby, who laughs after brief interjections from a voice in the background (presumably his father, Kjell-Åke Andersson).
[2] The video opens with the Swedish text: "kan man ha roligare" which translates as "Can you have any more fun?"
[1][6] The video appeared on the front pages of web portals such as msn.com, and has been the theme of several ringtones, which helped to further increase its familiarity and popularity.
The baby was featured in the South Park episode "Canada on Strike", where he appeared alongside other YouTube celebrities such as Tay Zonday and Chris Crocker.
