What Cause Sudden Onset Of Seizures?

I was watching a TV show which made me laugh very very hard, this was followed by a mini seizure like event. I leaned back in my chair and started twitching. My wife kept calling my name, I was locked up and could not move, for a moment or two. I finally was able to focus and seem ok now. I am back to normal. What happened?
