A laptop charger requires a large amount of electricity. When the metal of the plug gets close tot he metal in the socket, the electricity arcs from one to the other.
Kayleigh- Not all chargers spark so yours may be a very powerful one.

Had a cell charger plugged into cigarette lighter in car sparks flew and lighter doesn't work?
Something shorted together the positive and negative terminals in the lighter socket, and blew a fuse. You need to find out what shorted the terminals - maybe the charger, maybe the charger plug, or maybe something metal fell into the light socket. Then you can replace the fuse and find out whether you really fixed the trouble.
Could removing a plug from a socket without switching of the socket cause a popping sound and sparks?
Yes. Electricity will arc across the small gap as it tries to continue supplying power to the device.
Why do you have to connect a battery charger cable to the vehicle chassis when charging the vehicles battery while connected on the vehicle...why not connect to both posts instead?
If you disconnect without turning off the charger, the sparks caused may ignite the hydrogen discharged from the battery while charging.
When you touched a plug to socket sparks came out-should you call electrician?
If the sparks came out of the socket, you should call an electrician. If the sparks came from the plug (the wire at the plug would be scorched or burned), the plug should be replaced. You can buy a similar plug at a hardware store, cut off the old plug, strip away some of the insulation covering the wires, and install the new plug using only a wire stripper/cutter and a screw driver. Or you could contact a local handy man to replace the plug for you.

What is wrong if sparks came out when you plugged a cell phone charger in a 1992 Silverado and now the radio and interior lights don't work but none of the fuses are blown?
I think there are fuses for power under the hood also..
