Thank you - I enjoyed that video.

When I'm amused, I will often write "tee hee".

I also write "laugh out loud" in sentences, like here.

I've noticed also people writing those words to me. For example, recently, here.

Those exchanges were wonderful for me. I love it when people acknowledge their laughter in words. It does seem to have much more meaning that LOL.

"heh" is usually about as far as I go, because when it's the internet or texting, things don't usually strike me well enough to laugh out loud.

But when I'm texting my wife or someone I'm really close to, smileys abound, and XD is definitely common.

I too usually convey my reactions with accuracy. Nothing ever legitimately makes me "ROTFLOL!" on the internet. I usually smirk a bit at the good stuff, and chuckle at the great stuff. I don't know why someone would care enough to convey something different.
