For the 50th anniversary of Mickey Mouse, the Museum of Modern Art had a complete retrospective of all the Mickey cartoons.

The loudest laugh of one particular program was when Mickey, in the very first scene, turns to the camera - in tight closeup - and whispers loudly, "Gorilla!" The audience roared. I've loved that short ever since even though the dvd doesn't bring quite the same laugh.
