I wouldn't want to laugh, but... (Forced Laughters and Tickling Scenes in Movies and TV Shows)

Tickling in "Welcome Home" (2018)

Cassie (Emily Ratajkowski) is in bed, blindfolded, when she is joined by a stranger, whom she mistakes for her husband. The man begins kissing her belly, causing an intense tickle. The woman, caught off guard, squirms and giggles.

Tickling in "American History X" (1998)

Tickling in "Blood" (2004)

Noelle Terry is tied to bed. Her brother Chris, unbeknownst to her, starts tickling her hips. Noelle is very ticklish and begins to scream and laugh without restraint. She threatens him but he continues to tickle her, making her laugh loudly and squirm.

Tickling in "Mai Dire Domenica"

Tickling is often adopted as a comic expedient in gags because of the spontaneous laughter reaction it produces in who experience it, making laugh at inopportune moments.

We have an example of this in this gag in an Italian television program.

The showman exhibits a so-called shoe that ensures maximum freedom: in other words, it has no sole. Then he says that it also allows people to scratch their feet, and tickles the girl wearing it. She laughs, and the showman reminds her that this is no laughing matter.

Tickling in "The Purge" (2013)

Tickling is a phenomenon that amuses but also upsets, as the body of the one being tickled does not respond as it should. The ticklish victim falls prey to the urge to laugh and wriggle and is unable to behave as he or she would like. In some entertainment products, tickling is used precisely as a means to make the victim lose control, who is too busy laughing to react lucidly.

In "The Purge" (2013), the Sandin family is barraged in their home to defend themselves from the hordes of violent criminals. Mary is attacked by two assailants who capture her. A masked blonde woman uses tickling specifically as a means of control over her. First she tickles her foot to force her to laugh and prevent her from escaping, then she goes to her hips to terrorize her. Fortunately, Mary is rescued shortly afterwards.
