LUL
LUL is Twitch's standard laugh — the late TotalBiscuit mid-guffaw.
Origin
From a photo of John 'TotalBiscuit' Bain laughing at a fan event. After a DMCA hiccup removed the original, Twitch restored it officially in 2016; it's been the default laugh since.
How it's used
General-purpose laughter, milder than KEKW/OMEGALUL. Native, so every viewer sees it without extensions — which keeps it ubiquitous.
Common questions
LUL vs LULW?
LULW is the zoomed third-party version — more emphatic, extension-only.
Is LUL a tribute?
Effectively yes — it keeps TotalBiscuit's laugh in every chat on Twitch.
