Crossword Genius

Chap repeatedly making you laugh (2-2)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

he-he

'laugh' is the definition.

'chap repeatedly' is the wordplay.
'chap' becomes 'he'.
'repeatedly' says to double the letters.
'he' doubled is 'HE-HE'.

'making you' acts as a link.

(Other definitions for he-he that I've seen before include "Amused expression" , "Sound of laughter" .)

I've seen this clue in The Times.
