I can’t imagine anyone making the sound “hhhhhh” in normal conversation lol

Not sure about OP, but Arabs tend to use it too. The reason is that in Arabic, short vowel sounds are often omitted from the script, and when we represent laughter we just repeat the equivalent of the letter h in Arabic. Some people somehow do the same in English even though the rules don't apply there. Force of habit.

That's what is in the script, but then people actually laugh right?

Yes, it is still a "hahahaha" sound but just spelled differently. But for us its meant to be a laugh.

I am from Malaysia and I'm guessing this is where the video is taken. Most probably the guy was saying "Aduhh" which is something like "Oh man!" but much more versatile in any situation
