there's this one cartoon-character-in-a-long-metal-canister laugh that recurs regularly on the laughtrack for M*A*S*H that's totally the "chortle" gold standard.

I always figured that's how you'd describe Ed McMahon's laughter.

It's that throat sound people make when they first crack up.

a chortle is when it's OK to laugh smugly.

Kind of like a toilet, actually.

i think it's also chirpy. And nasal, and chesty.
