Hey Grown Ups, this episode of Wow in the

0:02

World is brought to you by Huggy's Little Movers.

0:05

Huggy's knows that babies come in

0:07

all shapes and sizes, and parents

0:09

know that there's nothing worse than

0:11

an ill-fitting diaper, especially on an

0:13

active baby. Phew!

0:15

Huggy's Little Movers offer 12-hour protection against

0:17

leaks, and are curved to fit all

0:20

curves. So your babies will feel comfy

0:22

no matter how much they move around.

0:24

And they do tend to move around. A lot.

0:27

Get your baby's butt into the best-fitting

0:29

diaper. Huggy's Little Movers. We got you,

0:31

baby. Hey,

1:27

it's summertime. No

1:44

homework, no school. Yeah,

1:47

it's the hottest season. Me

1:49

and Reggie are keeping it

1:51

cool. But then it's cooler

1:53

than Reggie. School's out, sun's

1:55

1:57

2:35

and welcome to We Will Summer Week.

2:38

Summer fun forever and ever. That's

2:42

2:44

all kinds of summer fun. But we

2:46

couldn't think of anything to do so we're...

2:48

Hey, on my fishing lines all bungled. Oh

2:50

hey, there's Thomas Fingerling. Hey Tommy.

2:53

Honey over there feller. Would

2:55

2:57

I fix this winder? Got

2:59

a real bird's nest here. Oh boy,

3:02

what's all this fishing stuff for? For

3:05

fishing. Oh wow.

3:07

So are you going fishing? Well

3:10

of course I'm going fishing. Neat.

3:13

I was just putting my bait on the hook

3:15

when my line got all tangled up here. There

3:19

we go. Okay, watch yourself

3:21

there pigeon. Don't get hooked here. Wow,

3:24

yeah, that's a big hook. Oh

3:26

yeah, you need a big hook for a big

3:28

fish, Danny boy. Oh,

3:30

that makes sense. Wait, is that a hook

3:33

from a coat hanger? Yep,

3:35

just gotta get a worm on here. Ew,

3:37

a worm? You're gonna touch

3:39

a worm? Well, I don't know how

3:42

else to get them on there without touching them.

3:44

Come here worm. Oh, you're

3:46

using a gummy worm. Oh yeah,

3:48

I got a real taste for gummy worms. You

3:52

know, something me and fish got in common. Me

3:54

too. I've also been told I smell like

3:57

fish. Oh yeah, gummy. I

4:00

kinda like sardines. Tommy, stop. You're

4:02

making me blush. All

4:04

righty, fishing time. Wait, where are you

4:06

going to fish? We're standing on your

4:08

front lawn. And? And

4:10

don't you need like a lake or a

4:12

river? Well, yeah, I

4:15

got a pond. Oh, a pond.

4:17

Come on. Where's

4:19

the pond? Right here. This

4:22

little kiddie pool with unicorns on

4:24

it? Yep, rainbow bay.

4:30

OK, careful,

4:32

carefully. Don't

4:35

scare away the lunkers now. You don't

4:37

know how to fish, do you, Tommy?

4:39

Nope. Well, this was

4:41

fun. Summer fun forever and ever?

4:43

Not quite. Oh, well. OK, devoted

4:45

listeners, Tommy and I are going

4:47

to keep fishing in this kiddie

4:49

pool. Rainbow bay. Right, rainbow bay.

4:52

But in the meantime, we want to

4:54

6:51

them on my spaghetti. Oh! Uh-huh!

6:54

boy. Mindy,

10:14

Mindy, let me in. Something

10:16

strange is happening. Guy

10:19

Roddy! Mindy,

10:21

what in the wow is going

10:23

on? Where are those

10:26

voices coming from? Well... Oh!

10:31

Look, I don't know where they're coming from, but

10:34

I do know where they came from. What?

10:37

It's canned laughter. Canned

10:41

laughter? Yeah, is there an

10:43

echo in here? Mindy,

10:45

what in the wow is canned

10:48

laughter? Well, look, check it out for

10:50

yourself. I saved the can. Canned

10:53

10:59

irreversible. Uh-huh. And

11:02

the effects of such will not be

11:04

retractable until the entire

11:06

can has run out. Mindy!

11:12

Whoopsie! Ooh! It's

11:16

not my fault. The salesperson

11:18

told me it would make me funnier

11:21

beyond my wildest dreams, Guy

11:23

Ross. And why would having a

11:25

bunch of strangers laugh in

11:27

the background of your jokes make you

11:29

funnier? Well, I do remember

11:32

reading the scientific study a while ago

11:35

that showed that laugh tracks on TV shows

11:38

actually tricked your brain into thinking that

11:40

certain jokes were funnier than they actually

11:42

were. And you thought that

11:44

adding a laugh track to your real life would

11:47

make you funnier, too? Uh,

11:50

maybe. Uh-huh. So

11:52

how exactly did this study show

11:54

that laugh tracks make jokes funnier?

12:00

Well, I could tell you.

12:05

But I'd rather show you. Oh,

12:09

boy. What did you

12:11

have in mind? Hi, Roz. You

12:14

and I are heading back to the

12:16

banana split to put this comical experiment

12:18

to the test and to

12:20

make my triumphant return to the

12:23

stage of comedy. Mindy,

12:26

you do remember what happened last

12:28

time, don't you? The

12:30

robots? No, the other

12:32

time. The monkeys? No,

12:35

the other other

12:37

time. Oh, that

12:39

time. Can

12:42

you promise we're not going to have

12:45

another incident? Yes, of course I can't

12:47

promise you that

12:49

we won't have another incident, Guy Razi. As

12:52

usual, I've got everything out of control.

12:57

Come on, let's go. Won't

12:59

we just get us a ride to the comedy club? Excuse

13:02

me for a second. Dialing, dialing,

13:04

dialing, dialing, dialing. Jello? Yeah,

13:08

good. Uh-huh.

13:12

Uh-huh. Uh-huh.

13:16

OK, great. See

13:18

you soon. Our

13:21

ride will be here any second now. Right,

13:24

so tell me, Mindy, how is this thing going

13:26

to work exactly? How is

13:28

what going to work exactly? The

13:31

experiment. Oh, great. Well,

13:34

um, the study, which was performed

13:36

by the University College

13:38

London, started off by collecting

13:40

40 jokes from dads

13:42

across the world. Dads? Yeah,

13:46

a male parent, one's

13:48

father. What? I don't

13:50

know how else to define that. Dad

13:54

jokes? Yeah, dad jokes. You

13:56

know, those super corny jokes that dads

13:58

are famous for?
