After the jump, a remix of the Google exec's speech at Stanford last year. We've heard that her former boyfriend, Larry Page, and Sergey Brin, the other Google founder, avoid Mayer at social events. Here's one of the reasons. Anybody can sound bad, when edited; but Mayer's nervous laugh, used as punctuation in her presentation, rather than an indication of humor, is genuinely irritating. Valleywag has only run a snippet, before. Here's the full laugh track, a compilation from Mayer's Stanford appearance:

yikes... thank god she's easy on the eyes and loaded...
Hmmm, back to the Marissa baiting, looks like Nick Douglas is back running things again...
Or else he's just brainwashed me.
Why are you always giving MM a hard time?
Especially when there are better targets like Rove:

(warning this may cause your head to esplode', or laugh like MM :)
Is that for real? I could never go to a meeting with her!
Um. Wow. Saw MM speak at BlogHer a few weeks ago and she didn't so much as crack a smile the entire time let alone let one of those spazzgasms fly.
Tourette's Syndrome, anyone?
Somebody needs to reboot The MayerBot.
Gentlemen, please agree with Denton (who, granted, is gay and thus disqualified) and me that this sort of laugh instantly disqualifies an otherwise lovely lady.
disqualified. i had to stop the video.
Sorry Nick, small personal traits can be mitigated, when the rare combination of brainy, creative and hawtness occurs one must overlook the small things.
After all dont women overlook small things all the time.....
Women may overlook small things all the time. But Valleywag tries not to.
The laugh really makes the robot jokes way too easy. It's almost like those trademark Max Headroom tics/stutters.
A reminder to those that take this too seriously: you can make everyone look stupid with a little careful editing.
Until I heard this. Marissa Mayer is a top executive at Google and she has a very weird laugh. Someone took clips from a speech she gave and strung them together. Enjoy. And yes, this video recently ran here on Valleywag.
