Try Not To Laugh Challenge/Transcript

Before the Intro
[SIRENS BLARE]

MePhone4: ATTENTION! ATTENTION! THIS IS AN EMERGENCY! WE'RE ALL GOING TO DIE!

[SIRENS STOP]

MePhone4: ...from laughing! At the grand premiere of-!

[ Bow laughs]

MePhone4: Where was I? The grand premiere of-!

[More contestants laugh]

MePhone4: -of Inanimate Life Weekly Limited MePhone Edition. Why is no one listening?!

[ Cabby and Silver Spoon laugh]

[ Test Tube and Paintbrush laugh]

[ Yin-Yang and Goo laugh]

Yang: Incoming!

The Floor: PFFF-HAHA this literally cannot be allowed. This is the absolute funniest, silliest thing going on right now!

[The Floor chuckles]

Bow: Hey Clover! Wanna see this funny-

Bow: ...it's a really funny note about-

Bow: ...okay maybe later!

Clover (in the CDC): To make sure no one gets hurt like Box again... I'll just stay away from everyone and everything I know and love... Forever! Heheh... CORDELIA NO!!!

Balloon: I'm so sorry we're late for your emergency thing, MePhone. It won't happen again.

Tea Kettle (in the CDC): I'm so proud of my growing boys! I explained to them that since we're down in the numbers, we need to play smart. Can't hurt to make the big guy happy!

Nickel: Hey! We probably didn't miss much. Probably just some "Oh boo hoo help me!" "None of the contestants I trapped here wanna play my wittle game!" BABY HOST WAA WAAA!!!

Balloon: Hahaha! .. mm..

MePhone4: Arghh...

[Contestants giggle]

MePhone4: If this note is SO funny, let me look! C'mon! Give me that! Lemme have it!

Silver Spoon: Of course, it's a hoot.

Test Tube: NO! Why must levity be so fleeting? Curse this gentle breeze!

Candle: How about we join together and recollect the note's message? So that way we may all re-experience the grandest humor of our lives... once again.

[Everyone laughs]

MePhone4: That's IT. Laughter is OFFICIALLY ILLEGAL!

[All gasp]

The Floor: Haha... whaat?

[Intro]

The Challenge
MePhone4: While I was excited for the original challenge... The Chocolate and Other Very Yummy Treat Tasting Challenge is now on the back burner. For today's challenge, three contestants from each team will compete. Two of those contestants, The Law Abiding Citizens, CAN NOT LAUGH! Any giggles, chuckles or "hehe's!" are breaking the law, sending them to the Jail of Criminals and out of the challenge. The third contestant on each team, The Nuisance, will try to get the opposing citizens to laugh. The first team to lose both of their citizens to the societal corruption of joy and laughter will be up for elimination! I'll pick three from each team to compete!

Nickel: Wow, I wonder which three he'll pick.

[Processing sound]

[Selection sounds]

MePhone4: The law becomes sacred... Now! Begin!

Bow: Hey giiirl! While you're stuck here and not able to run anywhere, Goo and I thought that you could use some cheering up! We're the... Cheer Factory!

Goo: Cheer Factory! Nailed it! And you're our faaaavorite customer!

Bow: Prepare your face. Okay... "What do you call a photocopier that's low on ink? ...A PALE imitation!"

[BA DUM TSS]

Clover: Is that... Is that supposed to be funny..?

[Cabby snickers]

Cabby: Wait... Why are they trying to make Clover laugh?... WRONG TEAM!

MePhone4: Shhhh-eket!

The Floor: Hello hello! FunnyLittleFace1337x7 coming to you live from the comedy stage! Ge... g... ge r-get ready!...

The Floor (in the CDC): Stage fright? WHADDYA MEAN stage fright?! My jokes... heh... are just hiding... scared! Unlike me. I've only been hiding here for twenty minutes! Heheh.

Paintbrush: Floory!

[The Floor gasps]

Candle: Try mindfully positioning your energy, Yin-Yang. Each of your halves serves a valuable purpose.

Balloon: Remember, just like how we did back at the hotel.

Nickel: Oh Yaaaaaang!

Yin: If you want to talk to one of us, you have to talk to... um...

[Yin clears throat]

Yang: Oh! Both of us! We are balanced. Right, Candle? WE ARE UNSTOPPABLE!

Nickel: Yin's a scrawny little pudding-boy, isn't he?

[Yang holds in laugh]

[Candle laughs] [Candle coughs]

Candle: Mm. :)

MePhone4: CRIMINAL!

[BUZZ]

MePhone4: Off to the prison for Grand Theft Chuckle!

Candle: Now it's up to you...

[JAIL BARS SLAM]

Silver Spoon: Already? Ugh... I would never break.

Paintbrush: You laugh whenever Nickel walks by.

Silver Spoon: P-ha! Ohohohoho! Imagine! The embodiment of the most meager of wealth!

Paintbrush: What about a penny?

Silver Spoon: A who now?

[Yin sighs]

Yin: She must have really trusted us to keep it together.

Nickel: No way, she must've been dumber than she sounds.

Yin: You think you're cool when you say that? You just make fun of people because you're...You're sad!

Yang: Dumb sad! Dumb guy!

Everyone: Oooooooh!

Nickel: Umm, at least I'm not the one sad over my entire team voting for me! Heh. HOW'S THAT TREATIN' YA?

Test Tube: Oooo- oh. Oh I- I guess we're not doing that now, ok.

Tea Kettle: Ugh! We had a plan, and now he just ruined the whole mood! How's he supposed to make anyone laugh now?! He just doesn't think.

Bow: Oh oh, here's a good one I remember! SOUR CREAM!

Paintbrush: That's in really bad taste now, boo! Go back to the c̵͉̓ḧ̶̬͈́̅ȧ̷̡̺i̵̜͈͝r̵̨̟̍̚ jokes!

Nickel: Everyone look! I'm playing nice! Here to make the good mood happen! Uh- oh look a pie! Oh whoops!

Clover: Oh wow, I've been doing pie all wrong!

Nickel: Ah, just laugh already, you awful Box killer!

MePhone4: Nickel! Where'd you get that pie?

Nickel: Uh, your dumb Pic-Nix tables, doi?

MePhone4: The "dumb Pic-Nix tables, doi?" that I banned you from?

Nickel: No, uh... th-the other one.

[JAIL BARS SLAM]

Tea Kettle (in the CDC): Ugh, now we have no form of attack! SOMEONE needs to deal with that... nuisance.

Tea Kettle: I've just been worried... about you basing your whole game on working with Nickel. How many bridges has he burned with the other teams today alone?

Balloon: Nothing's burned... hm... Maybe a little toasty...

Tea Kettle: No one's gonna work with him come merge, but if you think you can handle that, great. And if you ever need me, I'll be over here with a plan. Mama's gotcha! Let's see what this funny note can do. Away!

[Bow gasps]

Bow: Amazing catching skills GO!

[Paintbrush gasps]

Paintbrush: My thing.

Tea Kettle: HAHAHAHAHAHAHA! Oh dear! I'm sorry, Balloon! I didn't know a note could be this hilarious! How is this legal?

MePhone4: It's NOT!

[BUZZ]

[JAIL BARS SLAM]

The Floor: I used to be funny... but that was a long... long time ago.

Goo: Mhm, and how does that make you feel?

Silver Spoon: Pack it up, it's hopeless. Who do you wanna vote tonight?

Paintbrush: We're not- ugh. Why not just put all of THIS towards helping the team?

Silver Spoon: The team? Heh! When I win, come the end, that'll matter quite little.

Paintbrush: Fine, jump ship when the teams merge, I don't care. But right now, you're stuck with us! So you better start learning when to help out, and when to step back.

Silver Spoon: Ugh, what can I do? Advise my teammates? Just childishly shout out "Flooory! Remember! The stage is just the ground but taller! The world is your oyster! It is all, you!"?

The Floor: You're right! I don't have stage fright, I AM The Stage! Hey! Goo... guy? What do you yell when the apple doesn't fall far from the tree?

Goo: What do you yell?

The Floor: "Uh oh! Floating apple!"

[Goo inhales]

Goo: HA-

[JAIL BARS SLAM]

Goo (in the CDC): Another satisfied client! At the... Cheer Factory!

Bow: Cheer Factory! Nice!

MePhone4: Each team only has one citizen left! Who will submit to a life of felonies first?

Bow: -and then I caught the ball with my face! It was at my expense! Funny, right?

Clover: Bow, I don't deserve this.

Bow: Deserve? More like, desSERT! Because you dessert this! Because you're so sweet.

Clover: I'm the one with this gift. I don't need sympathy too.

Bow: But I-

Clover: What'd make me happy is knowing that we tried our hardest to win. Okay?

Bow: Wuh-oh! Watch out! I have... SPAGGERS!

Yang: Oh no! But Yin is known for finding spaghetti hilarious!

Yin: So wiggly...

[Yin holds in laugh]

Silver Spoon: Ahh, you can take her Yin-Yang! Candle left the challenge to you for a reason. Now, which one of you stepping up, and which is stepping back? GO ON.

Yin: That's it! Mindful positioning! Take the wheel!

Yang: I, Yang, finally in charge! Your spaggers affect me little!

Bow: OMG, no fair! Well, wait, what about the um.. uh... pudding-boy, huh?!

[Yang gasps, holds in laugh]

Yin: Yang would find that funny, but the pudding-boy doesn't.

Bow: Ugh, nothing is working. Hey, Floorida! Less get 'em!

[Balloon panics] [Balloon panics more]

Tea Kettle: You can take 'em, Balloon! You're SO tough!

[Balloon panics even more]

Nickel: Ugh, tha-that's not gonna help! Um... uh... BABY HOST! BABY HOST! WAA WAAAA!

Balloon: Heheh...

[Bow and The Floor gasp]

[BUZZ]

MePhone4: The Sinkers lost! The Pinkers and Thinkers win! Somehow the teams that were most distracted won?! How can this be?

Candle: Perhaps it's the power... of love.

MePhone4: HAHAHAHAHAHA!

[JAIL BARS SLAM]

MePhone4: Okay. The law's canceled. Class dismissed.

Yin: Wahooo! Recess!

After the Challenge
Clover: Thanks, you two! I need just a little more time to think about this... luck thing...? But a distraction from the Cheer Factory was just what I needed!

[Clover giggles]

Candle: Thank you dearly, Silver, for giving the final push everyone needed.

Silver Spoon: Aw, of course! Would I ever let a teammate down? Don't answer that.

Paintbrush: Well, feel free to help out more often.

Silver Spoon: Ah, excellent thought. This team has needed some direction from the distractions. Everyone, now, don't think of me as your new leader, but more as a... ROYAL ADVISOR!

[Everyone cheers]

[A piano chord is played as Paintbrush is distraught]

Tea Kettle: I'm so glad you're feeling okay, Balloon. Lemme tell you, it's not your fault. At all. But if we keep Nickel, this meshugas will only keep happening! Are you okay with that? There's no way he believed in you when he ended the game.

Nickel: Pfff. It was a losing battle. Doesn't matter if it was you or me, Bow and The Floor were playing dirty, ganging up on him. I wasn't gonna give them the satisfaction. Might as well get a little laugh out of it... on our terms!

Tea Kettle: Well, I thought you did great.

Nickel: Hey, I- I do believe in you, y'know. It's everyone else that's the problem. We're... we're sticking together... right?

Balloon: Yeah.

[Dramatic Button Press] [BUZZ]

Balloon: I made my decision.

[Speaker turns on]

Speaker: ♪ Elimination Time! Da-da! ♪

The Elimination
MePhone4: Sinkers, Sinkers, Sinkers. What can I even say? Except... Stinkers, Stinkers, Stinkers.

Nickel: How dare you! Box vouched for the name that you're soiling right now!

Tea Kettle: Don't worry yourself, MePhone, you wouldn't be the first to soil it.

Nickel: I feel like you're trying to say SOMETHING about SOMEONE here. C'mon, SAY IT!

Tea Kettle: It's Nickel. He's the problem.

Nickel: Ooh. Hurts, Tea Kettle. Hurts bad.

MePhone4: Something the matter, Balloon?

Balloon: Ju- just a tough vote.

MePhone4: Well then, let's make like you and POP right into it! Like the joke? I'm making jokes now! And here comes the punchline... Balloon, no shocker there. Any votes cast for Balloon won't count. Let's begin.

MePhone4: First vote... Nickel. That's one vote Nickel.

MePhone4: Tea Kettle. One vote Nickel, one vote Tea Kettle. One vote left.

MePhone4: And the sixth contestant eliminated is... Tea Kettle.

Tea Kettle: Oy gevalt, really?! I'd respect this more if it was a smart move. But, Balloon... why?

Balloon: I'm sorry, TK, I-... I couldn't do it! You were right about a lot of things, but I don't wanna play the game that way, with the backstabbing and the... betrayal and-

Tea Kettle: Hey, hey, Balloon. It's okay. I didn't mean to stress you out. Come here.

[Balloon chuckles] [Nickel groans]

Nickel: One more act of vengeance, huh?!

Tea Kettle: I did what I could to stay. But clearly I was no match for the big tough allies, awww.

Balloon: Or even close acquaintances? ...aww?

Nickel: OKAY FINE SAY FRIENDS I DON'T CARE.

Tea Kettle: Behave, okay?

[Nickel sighs]

Tea Kettle: This mama's goin' out in style! And remember your food groups—!

[Tea Kettle screams]

MePhone4: SINK, SANK, SUNK! Another Sinker elimination! How much lower can one team possibly sink? And how many times can I possibly SAY sink? Find out next time on... Inanimate Insanity Invitational!

Meanwhile, on Indefinite Island...
Walkie-Talkie: What do you mean we're out of indefinite coconuts?! THEY'RE SUPPOSED TO BE INDEFINITE!!

Lifering: We're all going to starve! Aaahh!

Blueberry: Aaaaaah.

Tea Kettle: AAAAH!

Lifering: Huah!

Tea Kettle: Nice catch!

Lifering: Tea Kettle. Please! Do- do you have them?!

Tea Kettle: Do you mean my... HORDERVES?!

Lifering: Hooray!

Walkie-Talkie: Hooray!

Blueberry: Yay.

Tea Kettle: Finally, some appreciation! I could get used to this!

Lifering (with his mouth full): Woohoo! Family reunion!

The Floor: Adamation!
