Stop Laughing!

"There it is again!! Stop Laughing!"

This is the seventh episode of the fifth season of the original Dumb Sh\*t series. In this episode, John starts to hear this laugh track that nobody else can hear and it drives him crazy!

## **Plot**

The episode begins with John walking down the stairs and stubbing his toe. A laugh track plays in the background and he wonders what it is, but chooses no to think too much of it. Shrugging, he goes over and sits down on a chair to play some video games. Mookie Conster comes up to him and asks what he's playing and he says that he's playing some game but the dang thing froze again. The laugh track starts playing again and John asks Mookie Conster if he can hear it too, but he can't. John decides to just forget and gets up to go upstairs but ends up stubbing his toe again, and the laugh track begins playing. John complains that he'll never figure out what that is as he heads upstairs.

John walks into Samirra's room, complaining about the laugh track and says that he needs someone to talk to. Seeing Simba on a shelf, he picks him up and gets onto Samirra's bed. He looks Simba in the eye and asks if he has something to say. Thinking he hears something, John puts Simba to his ear to listen more closely. Simba attacks him and John slaps him several times before tossing him away and onto the bed. The laugh track begins playing again and he yells into the air for them to stop laughing.

Later, John is sitting on Samirra's bed, feeling depressed about the laugh track, when Samirra runs into the room and tells him that he has something important to share. John asks Samirra if he hears the laugh track too, excited that he might not be the only one. Samirra claims that there's no laugh track and tells John to follow him, before grabbing his arm and pulling him off the bed and out of the room.

Outside, Samirra is running frantically, pulling John along behind him. John ends up tripping and falling over and the laugh track starts again. John gets to his feet and claims that the laugh track is driving him nuts. He then asks why Samirra brought him out here. Samirra tells him to look and points at a figure standing on a dog house. The mysterious figure climbs off the dog house and starts walking forward. John asks who this "chuckle nuts" is and Samirra claims it's their new neighbor: Marvel Man! Marvel Man shakes John's hand and claims that he has all the answers. John asks Marvel Man if he knows where the laugh track is coming from and Marvel Man says he does. John asks where and Marvel Man admits that he hasn't quite reach it yet, but that's where John comes in. John asks what he means and Marvel Man tells him to come with him, before pulling him off the screen.

Marvel Man slams John up against a tree and demands to know where the money is but John claims that he doesn't have any money. John cries for Samirra to help him out. Meanwhile, Samirra is standing, pretending not to hear John's cries for help. He notices his dog, Truman, a short distance away and goes over to pet him. Back at the tree, Marvel Man is in the process of strangling John. But Samirra is continuing to pet his dog. Marvel Man grabs John and throws him. John hits the ground and the laugh track plays once again. John, battered and broken, asks where the laugh track is coming from and where Samirra is. But he is at this moment, skipping back to his house, not a care in the world. Unable to walk, John decides that the best course of action is to crawl back to the house on all fours.

Meanwhile, Samirra is sitting on his bed, reading Diary of a Wimpy Kid. It is at this moment, that John storms into Samirra's room, pissed that he was left out there to dry. He asks him where he was and Samirra explains that he made a soufflé and then read Diary of a Wimpy Kid. When Samirra says this, the laugh track starts up again. John loses his mind and says that he keeps hearing this laugh track and it's driving him nuts, as he walks away and hits himself in the head. He then turns around to see Samirra open his mouth only for the laugh track to come out of it. He then turns the other way to see Marvel Man do the same. And finally, he looks around the corner to see Mookie Conster do it as well.

Having had enough, John screams and stabs himself with a nearby lightsaber, falling to the ground. Mookie Conster and Samirra are standing over him and Samirra asks if he's okay. Mookie Conster says that he might be as the screen fades to black and the episode ends.
