Episode recap
Wade crashes into Orson during one of his usual frenzies, and Orson believes he is overreacting until he learns that Roy has a new joke book. After the rest of the gang also learns this, they all try to hide from Roy and his bad jokes. They hide on top of a big hill until Roy is out of sight; then everyone except Wade goes back. Wade is then startled when a flying saucer hovers over him.
Three large aliens beam down from the saucer as Roy (who is eating a banana), Booker and Sheldon walk up, and the aliens inform them that they have come for Earth’s humor because humor is a powerful weapon on their planet, and they claim that it is of no practical use to earthlings. Orson tries to remedy this by having everyone read jokes from Roy’s joke books, but none of the jokes make the aliens laugh.
Roy then finishes his banana and throws the peel down; then he trips over the peel, which makes the aliens finally laugh. They then disintegrate, and the flying saucer goes away. The gang is pleased that humor is saved, but then Roy tells another bad joke.
Notes
*Bo does not appear in this episode. Lanolin only appears during Orson’s song.
*Following this episode is the series’ first "Screaming with Binky" segment, but most of these segments are not shown in syndication.
Goofs
*At the beginning of the episode, Orson’s lips don’t move when he sings part of the series’ theme song. Booker’s lips also fail to move when he worries, “Roy has a new joke book?”
*During this episode, when various books are shown, the back covers are treated as the front covers.
Quotes
Orson: What will the world be like without laughter?
Wade: A lot like cable TV.
