Ted Knight's Riddler's laugh here is like that of Richard Widmark maniacal laugh in the movie "Kiss Of Death" 1947....and the irregular haulting voice style is similar to that of James Cagney voice of the 1930's..see ...you...dirty..rats!
I agreed..Imagine if you will..if the producers of the 1960's BATMAN were Desilu and Quinn Martin and they had decided to do Batman realistically like "The Untouchables"....Martin Landeu would have been perfect....though really like Frank Gorshin who to me is still the best Riddler i've ever seen..Gorshin plays the part with such fiendish glee..that is blows anybody else out of the water.@peternoer
@johnnynoirman John Glover does a better, more subdued version of the Riddler on the Batman animated series of the early 1990's. His Riddler gave gravitas to an otherwise ridiculous character.
@johnnynoirman Never knew that it was Ted Knight who did this Riddler's voice. Very interesting. I think his unique take on the Riddler probably had more to do with the fact that he couldn't pull off Gorshin's rendition of the character nor had the vocal range required to do so. To be fair, however, I don't think Glover had that exactly for that range either, but I think that was precisely why the producers of BTAS chose Glover to begin with: to be the anti-Gorshin.

Yeah the car stopped and then poof its turned the other side instantly that looked hillarious. And the way batman said That man is a imposter made me laugh!
The Riddler's laugh is TOTALLY funny on this cartoon video, I get ticlked when I hear his laugh, his voice sounds funny here, but I get tickled when he lats out that laugh.
This stuff is awesome! I'm looking for the dvd set. When I was a kid I always tried to imitate the Riddler's speech style and laughter. To this day I still can't do it! All the villains had a unique style. Add a roaring batmobile engine and dramatic music and you've one hooked kid!
I was 11 years old when these cartoons came out in '68. I loved them then, and still do. In all the cartoon incarnations of Batman, Filmation was king.
I get such a kick out of this Riddler's laugh; it reminds me a little of James Cagney, but Frank Gorshin has him beat!! Thanks again for another classic!!

Yes John did have more gravitas..but the entire show from had more gravitas.
It always work for me..Ted Knight's must of decided to do a kind of Jimmy Cagney like
like accent here...While Frank Gorshin went for more of a Richard Widmark as Tommy Udo
like voice from the movie " Kiss of Death"..They both use a similar Udo like laugh.
