The Day the Laughter Died is a comedy double album by American comedian Andrew Dice Clay, released in 1990.

It was produced by Rick Rubin, whose concept was to record an unadvertised performance in a small club with a small crowd, many of whom would not necessarily be fans of Clay's act.

A sequel, The Day the Laughter Died, Part II, was released in 1993.

The album is largely improvisational, with Clay interacting with the audience over the course of over an hour and a half.

The topics run through his usual gamut of sex, relationships between men and women, masculinity and popular culture.
