## Summary

What's so funny? That is the question as Steve and Blue get silly.

## Recap

The Blue's Clues House has become extremely silly today. Steve is more than happy to participate, by doing funny stuff such as putting a shoe on his head and his ear and trying to make Blue laugh. Sidetable joins in by first giving Steve a potato when he goes to get his notebook. We come across Shovel and Pail, who find that Gopher's popping up all over the backyard, although they are not sure exactly where he is going to show up next. We figure out that he pops up in predictable patterns. Later, we skidoo into Silly Town. Silly Town is a strange, mixed-up place. Looking around, we find everything from a banana being used as a hammer to a backwards park.

* This episode was later remade in Blue's Clues & You!, as titled Laugh with Blue.
* When the children say "Bye, Steve!" and "Bye-bye Kevin, Bye-bye Blue!", a silly sound follows the end of the "We Are Looking For Blue's Clues" melody, but Blue barking does not.
* This is the only time Blue closed the letter, and not Steve, Kevin, Duarte or HyunShup Shin.
* At the end of the episode, one of the balls was not really a ball, it was a nectarine, which was just like a ball so Steve could eat it.
* Sidetable Drawer gave Steve a potato instead of the Notebook. This is because Sidetable Drawer was funny.
* In the Korean version, HyunShup Shin cannot juggle.
	+ He simply tries to juggle and makes the balls fall down, but picks up one ball and tries to eat it like Steve and Kevin did.
* This was one of only two episodes where Shovel appears in his mirrored reflection and without Pail during the credits. The other one was I Did That!.
* Mr. Salt appears without Mrs. Pepper, except during the credits.

## Goofs

* In Pistas da Blue version, After the sock puppet picks up the notebook, The viewers' phrase *Bloco!* plays late. And, when Duarte is about to picks up the notebook, a crew member can be seen replacing the ball with the notebook.
* At the end of this episode, the Nick Jr. Productions logo music begins when the series title fade to black, and as a result, the logo's visual is out of sync. This also happens in Blue's Big Costume Party and Blue Takes You to School.
