I've been watching WWE Classics on Demand Raw episodes from 1997. Brian Christopher was starting to be featured in the LHW division. During this time, he constantly did this hyena style laugh and squeal randomly during matches. What was the purpose of this? It made him seem like a real goofball. Was it a rib on Lawler?

It was basically their way of associating him with Lawler, without having to say "Jerry's his dad."
Also, it was annoying as sin, which works to get a heel over with the crowd.

I think it was supposed to be revealed that Christopher was a failed clone of Jerry, hence the laugh and jokes.

It was cheap heat. Christopher did it when he was in the indies where he was the top heel in Nashville (working for Lawler, so it wasn't a rib on Jerry unless he ribbed himself.

He did that in Memphis before getting to the WWF. He was a very annoying heel.

The fact that the WWF tried building a cruiser division based on Brian Christopher's hyena laughing and heel antics shows how out of touch they were. Mind you, he was good in the USWA and later was fun in Too Cool but he's simply nowhere near the wrestler that the WCW guys tearing up the cruiser division were. On WCW TV we saw cruiser wrestlers doing all sorts of amazing moves and having exciting matches, while Brian was out there doing Memphis heel shtick.
