The General Women’s meeting tends to involve crying moments, the other manifestation of joy. Alas, crying isn’t as easy to record as laughter.

I didn’t count laugh moments last night, but the grey/creepy/stalker cat in President Uchtdorf’s talk surely accounted for a laugh each time it was mentioned.

General Priesthood meeting generates six times more laughs per hour than the General Womens meeting. This tells us a lot.

Terry, the closest to “loud laughter” was when President Uchtdorf did his German bit. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yiqdMgocfhA&feature=youtu.be&t=48m7s

Tina, that’s a great moment; I don’t remember it from conference myself, but it also comes up in President Eyring’s biography.

My favorite moment was when President Hinckley “knighted” President Eyring with his cane after President Eyring was sustained as a member of the first presidency.

I do notice that none of the laughter is “loud”. :)
