Here are all of the speeches where laughable shows up across the corpus:

The Merchant of Venice


Not in love neither ? Then let us say you are sad
Because you are not merry ; and ’twere as easy
For you to laugh and leap , and say you are merry
Because you are not sad . Now , by two-headed
Janus ,
Nature hath framed strange fellows in her time :
Some that will evermore peep through their eyes
And laugh like parrots at a bagpiper ,
And other of such vinegar aspect
That they’ll not show their teeth in way of smile
Though Nestor swear the jest be laughable .



Here comes Bassanio , your most noble kinsman ,
Gratiano , and Lorenzo . Fare you well .
We leave you now with better company .
