It was Wednesday, July 2, 1986 in the Loud House and it was actually a very peaceful day, which is one that you don't find very often in this house. Bobby, Lori, Lincoln and Ronnie Anne were in their swim attire once again chilling under the hot blazin' sunlight and kicking back and relaxing under the tree and Lincoln was reading a comic as well.
"Ah, nothing like reading comic books under a tree, on a nice, hot, peaceful summer day," Lincoln said relaxingly.
"You said it, buddy," Lori said relaxingly.
"Yep, nothing's too good for my girlfriend and our kids," Bobby said relaxingly.
"Yeah, nothing like relaxing under the sun during the summer," Ronnie Anne said softly.
Meanwhile, while they're chilling, a horn honks which startles them. But it actually came from Luan in her clown outfit carrying her birthday props on a unicycle.
"Luan. What are you doing?" Lori asked.
"Woah! A little help?" Luan shouted as she falls off her unicycle, leading to the four to help her up.
"Back from another birthday party?" Lincoln replied before a bowling pin falls out of Luan's mouth.
"Uh, my third gig this weekend. I could really use an assistant. Hey, what about you? You're great with Gary," Luan replied before Gary chomps on Lincoln's comic.
"Hey, stop chomping on my brother's comic!" Ronnie Anne shouted.
"Wait a minute. I thought Lucy was your assistant at your Funny Business job," Lori explained.
Flashbacks to Luan performing balloon animals at a circus birthday.
"And now, if my assistant will just hand me one more balloon, we'll have a pterodactyl," Luan replied.
As Luan sees an empty corner, Lucy appears behind her with a balloon and startles her.
"Hey, you killed the dinosaur, Lucy!" Bart Simpson shouted before the kids start booing. A red FIRED sign appears over Lucy's Funny Business ID Card and a buzzer sounds.
"Aw, man!" Lucy complained.
End flashback as Luan picks up a rubber chicken.
"Lucy didn't work out at that. And neither did Lynn," Luan explained.
Flashback to Luan juggling fruit at a pirate birthday.
"Water you say we add some melon?" Luan asked and the kids cheer before Lynn throws a watermelon, but accidentally hits Luan. The kids then jeer and boo the performance. A red FIRED sign appears over Lynn's Funny Business ID Card and a buzzer sounds.
"Not cool, man!" Lynn shouted.
End flashback.
"And Leni didn't pull through, either," Luan explained.
Flashback to another circus birthday.
"Why are clowns never bored? Cause we're good at keeping occu-pied," Luan explained before she clears her throat, "I said, good at keeping occu-pied."
Luan looks where Leni is, but there's nothing there but a pie. She turns and sees Leni in the crowd. Luan facepalms at this, walks to the pie and slaps it to her face, making the kids cheer. A red FIRED sign appears over Leni's Funny Business ID Card and a buzzer sounds.
"Are you literally joking me?!" Leni yelled angrily.
End flashback. Lori, Bobby and Ronnie Anne were giggling.
"That must have been so precious," Lori laughed.
"Yeah, Mom. It must have been," Ronnie Anne agreed.
Bobby continues giggling as Luan rolls her eyes.
"And Lisa didn't work it out, either," Luan explained.
Flashbacks to a medieval birthday as Luan does a trumpet fanfare dressed as a jester.
"Hey, Birthday Boy. Why don't you take the seat of honor?" Luan suggested and as the boy sits down, a farting noise from the Whoopee cushion is heard which Luan and the other kids laugh at her before Lisa snatches the cake.
"No, no! No one eat that cake! It clearly causes gastrointestinal distress," Lisa shouted as she took the cake away and the kids start crying. A red FIRED sign appears over Lisa's Funny Business ID Card and a buzzer sounds, "D'oh! There goes my chance of being funny!"
End flashback. Cuts to us going into Luna and Luan's room.
"Well, We'd be glad to be your fifth and sixth choices for your Funny Business job. Isn't that right, Lincoln?" Lori explained.
"Yeah, Mom and I are honored," Lincoln added.
"Come on, Lincoln. Please? I really need your help," Luan suggested.
"Yeah, Lincoln. It might be fun," Lori added.
"I don't know. I´m not really the performing type. I don't want to make a fool of myself on stage," Lincoln explained.
"Don't worry. That's my job. All you have to do is help with the props," Luan explained.
"Uh, I don't know think it's for..." Lincoln replied before he and Lori notice Luan holding a slice of cake in a container, "What's that?"
"Ah, just birthday cake. I always get sent home with leftovers," Luan explained.
"Mmmmm... Birthday cake," Lori said romantically as she starts start drooling upon seeing the dessert.
"Usually I share it with my assistant. But since this job isn't for you..." Luan explained before Lincoln takes the cake.
"When did I say that?" Lincoln asked.
"Well, it looks like you and Lori are both in," Bobby explained happily and Luan smiles.
A green HIRED sign appears over Lori and Lincoln's Funny Business ID Cards and a bell rings
"All right, Mom and Lincoln are in business!" Ronnie Anne cheered.
At the first birthday party, like the one Leni got fired after, Luan is setting up the pie joke from earlier.
"Why are clowns never bored? Because we're good at keeping occu-pied," Luan explained.
"All right, sweetheart. That's our cue," Lori said from backstage and Lincoln is about to throw the pie at Luan's face, but when he loses balance after tripping on a whipped cream can, Lori grabs the can, but all of a sudden whipped cream is sprayed all over her face.
"Ah! Whipped cream in my eyes! Blinding yet delicious!" Lori commented as she stumbles until she slips and falls onto the presents with Lincoln and lands with a loud crash.
"Sorry!" Lincoln replied.
"Ugh. Same here, Lincoln," Lori agreed.
The kids are laughing and cheering. Later, Lori, Luan and Lincoln were on their way home.
"That was awesome. The part when I tripped and then the audience laughed, and then clapped? Amazing!" Lincoln said happily.
"Glad you enjoyed it. Now here, I need you to clean this. Gary pooped in it," Luan suggested.
They then get grossed out while a green stinky fume comes out of the top hat. Later, Lori, Bobby and Lincoln on the couch. Lincoln's telling his parents what happened.
"So, then Mom and I both accidentally tripped and fell down together and Mom was blinded by whipped cream and then the audience cracked-up laughing!" Lincoln explained.
"Wow. They must really have a thing for people falling on their butts," Bobby commented.
"Yeah, it was... quite impressive, actually," Lori commented.
"I know. Well, Mom, we gotta get moving, it's time for another birthday party," Lincoln suggested.
"Yeah, I have a feeling that we're actually gonna do great," Lori replied happily.
At the second birthday party, which is another pirate theme, Luan is juggling fruit while riding on her unicycle.
"Water you say we add some melon?" Luan asked and the kids cheer. Lincoln then appears running on a watermelon.
"Boy, running on melons is no easy task, and it can take some serious practice to master the techniques," Lincoln said to himself before he loses his balance, "Whoa, GOD!" he then falls on it. The kids then laugh as Lori then runs over to clean up the mess.
"Hold on, I'll get the mess cleaned up," Lori suggested as she proceeds to clean the mess up when all of a sudden, she slips on a watermelon rind and crashes into Luan. Luan then glares at Lori just before two strawberries and a banana fall on her to form a smiley face, "This is tougher than we thought."
Later, in Luna's and Luan's room...
"Man, great crowd, huh?" Lincoln asked.
"Yeah, super. So, what was that all about with the watermelon?" Luan suggested.
"Well, you know, audiences seem to love it when I fall down so..." Lincoln commented.
"Let me worry about the audience. You take care of deodorizing these clown shoes," Luna suggested.
Lincoln exits the room while taking the clown shoes, then sees Lynn and Lana walking, causing him to scream and fall and roll at a distance while a loud crash is heard. Lynn and Lana laugh at his performance.
"See? It looks like Mom and I do know what audiences like after all," Lincoln said to himself.
"Yep. It sure does seem so," Lori agreed.
At the third birthday party, like the one Lucy got fired after, Luan is making something with balloons.
"And now, if my assistant will hand me one more balloon, we'll have a pterodactyl," Luan explained.
"I went a little overboard with the helium," Lincoln replied with a high-pitched voice while covered in balloons.
"Lincoln, kid!" Lori screamed as she comes from backstage to get the balloons off Lincoln. But one of the balloons deflates, making a farting sound, causing the kids to laugh at this, which enrages her, "No! No! NO! NOT FUNNY! NOT FUNNY!"
"Whoa, good lord!" Lincoln replied before he slips falls back as a loud crash is heard, getting the kids to laugh and cheer. Luan then shakes in anger. Later, Lincoln was teaching Lori and Ronnie Anne how to do a pratfall.
"It's really easy, guys. You just put one foot forward," Lincoln explained and Ronnie Anne and Lori both proceed to do it, "And then you slip. Like this," he slips and falls, "Yikes!"
"Well, here we go then," Lori said as she and Ronnie Anne proceed to do what Lincoln just did, and then fall down and they start laughing, "Wow. That was fun."
"Yeah, it really is fun!" Ronnie Anne said happily.
"I know, right? Well, it's time for another birthday," Lincoln replied before they both leave.
"Oh, boy. I can't wait for Bobby and Ni-Ni to show this to Leni!" Lori said happily.
At the fourth birthday party, Luan juggles plates on her nose and both hands.
"What did one plate say to the other? Lunch' is on me," Luan explained as she and the kids laugh, while Lincoln is holding a stack of plates.
"Gadzooks!" Lincoln exclaimed before he loses balance and lets his plates and Luan's plates fall down and break. The kids then crack up, "I guess lunch is on me."
As the kids laugh, Luan gets ticked off at Lincoln but some visitors from Springfield named Homer and Marge Simpson laughing so hard.
"Oh my god, Marge, isn't this boy just hilarious?" Homer commented.
"I know. This is just absolutely ridiculously funny," Marge agreed as they both laughed but the other moms look at both her and Homer unimpressed.
"Uh, Homer, this feels weird," Marge said nervously.
At the fifth birthday party, which is another medieval theme, Luan does a trumpet fanfare.
"All right, Birthday boy. Why don't you take the seat of honor?" Luan asked.
As Lincoln sits on the seat, the Whoopee cushion's farting noise is heard from under it.
"Holy mother of God!" Lincoln screamed and he falls back as a loud crash is heard. The kids laugh like always, and Lincoln was signing autographs while Luan angrily puts away her clown stuff and Lori was bandaging her wounds.
Later at the mall, Leni was with Bobby and his daughter Ronnie Anne as they helped her pick out some new dresses. She comes out wearing a dress that looks like her regular outfit, but it has a skirt.
"Bobby, what do you think of this one?" Leni asked coolly.
"Wow, it's actually really amazing," Bobby commented.
"Yeah, it suits you perfectly well," Ronnie Anne added.
"You know, guys? You both, including Lori and Linky, always know what to say," Leni replied softly.
"Yeah, Dad and I really do have a way with words just like Mom and Lincoln do," Bobby commented.
"Bobby, could you get the back zipper for me?" Leni suggested coolly.
"Sure," Bobby replied as he proceeds to help her zipper up.
"Such a gentleman," Leni commented coolly.
"Thank you, Leni," Bobby blushed.
"Maybe, you could help me pick out some new clothes next," Leni suggested, "Because I think some of my old ones are starting to wear out."
Once Leni finished, Bobby states and blushes thinking about how that would go, but then he snaps out of it.
"Yeah, sure. Now, I should get back to my seat," Bobby shouted before he trips and falls, "Ahhh! Good Lord!" a loud crash is heard and Leni laughs.
"Bobby, that was literally funny! Where did you learn that?" Leni asked.
"From my beloved Lori and son Lincoln. They're Luan's new assistants and they make kids laugh by doing pratfalls," Bobby explained.
"It looks cool. Could you maybe teach me?" Leni suggested.
"Of course. Ronnie and I are happy to spread the teachings passed on to us," Bobby replied.
"Oh, thank you, Bobby! You and Ronnie Anne are literally the coolest friends I can ask for!" Leni said happily as she hugs them, but they notices themselves smelling her sweet perfume and feel her hair touching their shoulder and their faces turn bright red and start sweating and giggling.
"Ok, let's get started." Leni said before she runs off.
"Leni, wait! We need to pay for the dresses first," Bobby shouted before Leni comes back.
"Oh, right. So smart. Handsome, too," Leni said coolly.
Later, Lori, Luan and Lincoln were all walking home from another birthday. Lincoln and his mother Lori look happy, while Luan looks annoyed.
"Boy, we are killing it," Lincoln said happily.
"Yeah. I agree, Lincoln. But I've been thinking, maybe you should do a little less of the talky stuff and more of the pratfalls," Lori replied.
But suddenly, Luan then drop all of her supplies and angrily turns to Lori and Lincoln, which shocks them.
"Are you kidding me?!" Luan shouted at them.
"Whoa whoa whoa, Luan, calm down please. We were just trying to help," Lori confessed.
"Look, Lori! Just because you and Lincoln both got a few laughs does not make you an expert on clowning!" Luan shouted, "There's a lot more to it than just falling on your butt!"
"And not to mention getting ourselves hurt," Lincoln commented.
"Yeah, I know, but the audience sure seems to like our..." Lori replied but...
"Lincoln, Lori, enough! Both of you!" Luan demanded, "No more pratfalls. I am the clown. You are the assistants. Now go refill these whoopee cushions!"
"But Luan, they're already inflated," Lori confessed before Luan deflates them at their faces.
"Not anymore!" Luan shouted as she storms up to the house, opens the door then slams it.
"Oh, yeah?! Well, that would've been funnier if you'd fallen on your butt!" Lincoln commented.
At Luna and Luan's room, Lori and Lincoln were refilling the whoopee cushions.
"God, I can't believe she would speak to us like that!" Lincoln confessed as they inflate a whoopee cushion.
"After everything we've done for this business?" Lori asked as they inflate another.
"Look, Mom. All we've done was fall on our butts and include your misfortunes," Lincoln explained.
"Yes, I know, Linc. But the crowd loves me just as much as they love you. You know, we can share the fame together. But I don't think there is any fame to share with..." suddenly, a phone rings and it happens to be Lori's phone going off. She picks up and answers, "Hello, This is Funny Business, Incorporated. Your fun is our business. Lori is speaking with you right now, "a woman on the phone is chattering, "Yes, we're available on the 11th of July," a woman on the phone is still chattering, "What?" a woman on the phone is still chattering, "Oh, really?" a woman on the phone finishes chattering, "Great. We'll see you there on the 11th of July."
Luan walks into her room.
"Who did we just book?" Luna asked.
"Actually, the correct question would be, whom did we just book? Because they only wanted me and Lincoln," Lori suggested.
"Yeah, right," Luan replied.
"It's true. You may not recognize our talent, but apparently the birthday party community does," Lincoln explained.
"Yeah, and they need us for the next act," Lori replied.
"So, what are you gonna do for your act? Fall on your butt for an hour?" Luan suggested.
"That's exactly what I'm going to do, cause the audiences love it. Now, if you'll excuse me, I have to go put on something that's padded," Lincoln complied.
"Good luck with that," Lori said to Lincoln but Luan gets angry, kicks the glass case and it shatters. Gary hops down and eats some cake.
"Luan! Look at what you did!" Lori explained to Luan.
Meanwhile, it cuts to Bobby, Leni and Ronnie Anne in the backyard, as they were teaching Leni how to do a pratfall.
"Ok, Leni. Here's how you do it. First you put your foot forward," Bobby explained as he and Ronnie Anne do so..
"Like this?" Leni placed her foot forward.
"Yep. Doing great. Now, slip and fall down," Bobby explained as he and Ronnie Anne do so, followed by a loud crash.
"OK, here I go," Leni said to herself before she slips and falls and screams, "Wow. That was actually kinda fun. Here! Let me try it again!" Leni shouted as she gets up and falls back down again and giggles, "Whoa! Good Lord!"
And Bobby then slips and falls and Ronnie Anne follows and they laugh.
"That was amazing, Leni. You're a natural," Bobby commented.
"Aw, thanks, Bobby," Leni complied softly before Bobby and his daughter Ronnie Anne slip and fall again.
"Whoa! Hey, Leni. You've gotta help me. I think I'm falling for you about as much as Lori," Bobby explained.
"And he has a sense of humor too..." Leni said softly as she hugs Bobby, kisses his cheek and picks him up, "Come on, Bobby, let's get something to eat."
"Okay, Leni, here we go," Bobby replied as Leni carried him to the kitchen with Ronnie Anne following behind her.
Lori and Lincoln are going to the birthday.
"So, how old is the birthday girl?" Lincoln asked.
"Yeah, is she four? Five? Six?" Lori asked.
"Actually, she's thirteen," Maggie's Mom explained.
It's revealed that the birthday party is full of tweens and some of them were emo. One of them hits a pinata and hugs it immediately.
"Ooh, my. That has to be a bunch of goths," Lori commented.
"Oh. A little older than the usual crowd, but no problem," Lincoln commented.
"Uh-huh. Our comedy is ageless," Lori replied.
The next scene, Lincoln throws a banana peel on stage.
"Hey, guys! Who's ready to laugh?" Lincoln shouted before he slips on a banana peel, "Whoopsie doodle! Now who put this here?"
"Um, you did, obviously," Maggie complied.
"Mom, that's our cue," Lincoln whispered to Lori.
"The things I do for a cake," Lori giggled as she comes out with a mop acting clumsy, "Don't worry, Linc. I'll clean it up for you, kid.
Suddenly, Lori slips on the floor on the floor and falls on her bottom while Lincoln shakes his head and holds up gag glasses.
"Maybe these glasses will help me see better!" Lincoln explained as he tries to walk but he suddenly bumps into Lori and they both fall onto Maggie's poster, "Ay caramba! Guess you should get my prescription checked, Mom."
"Mom, look what that loser clown did to my poster," Maggie complained while Lincoln takes the poster off of him and the kids start reading some graphic novels.
"Oh, look at that! I have something else to do, too! Mom, didn't I tell you not to call me at..." Lincoln explained before he suddenly falls on the table as the cake flies into the air and lands on Lori.
"Geez. Well, remember. Never walk and be distracted by whatever pleases you," Lori explained.
"Ugh, now they're gonna lecture us?" Meg complained.
"They ruined my cake! Mom, why did you hire them? I swear, if I had a door around me, I would slam it so hard right now!" Maggie shouted.
"Um, excuse me, everyone. There will now be a brief, unscheduled intermission. Talk amongst yourselves!" Lincoln confessed as he and Lori run off stage but are stopped by Maggie's Mom and another mother named Lois Griffin whose family is from Quahog, Rhode Island.
"Where are you going?" Maggie's mother suggested, "I paid you and Lori to perform for an hour."
"We're doing the best we can, but none of them are laughing whatsoever," Lori confessed.
"Well, why don't you try something else. You're both professional clowns, aren't you?" Lois suggested as Lori and Lincoln both look over at the other parents.
"Remind me and Lois not to book Funny Business, Inc. for Chris's birthday, or Meg's, or even Stewie's first birthday when it comes up in November," Peter suggested.
"Me, neither, that goes for Bart and Lisa!" Marge suggested.
"Oh, me neither. I don't want my kid to hate me," Bratty Kid's Mom suggested.
"Sorry, gotta run to the little clown's room," Lincoln exclaimed as he and Lori both run inside a photo booth to call Luan with his phone.
"Funny Business, Inc. Your fun is our business!" Luan replied.
"Luan!" Lincoln shouted.
"I'm sorry, I can't hear you. My clown car's going through a tunnel," Luan replied as she hangs up the phone, it rings again and she answers again.
"Luan, it's me!" Lincoln shouted.
"I know. That's why I hung up," Luan replied as she hangs up the phone again, but it rings once again and she answers once more, looking irritated, "This is a business line, Lincoln! What do you want?"
But it turns out that Lori is calling this time.
"It's not Lincoln. It's me, Lori, his mother. I know you won't listen to him because you think he has an ego the size of his shoes," Lori confessed," But please, listen to my son. He and I are the ones who are only trying to help. Please come here and help us! We need you!
"Why should I help him? I thought he was the clowning expert," Luna asked coldly.
"No, he's not. You are. You told us there's a lot more to clowning than just falling on your butt, and you were right. Will you please come help us?" Lori replied.
"I don't know, Lori. Maybe bombing would be a good learning experience for you and the kids," Luan suggested.
"Luan, please! The fate of Funny Business Incorporated depends on it!" Lori begged.
"What do you mean?" Luan asked.
"Mom, I think we're ruining the business's reputation," Lincoln commented to Lori.
"Lincoln, maybe you're right. These parents are really brutal," Lori replied.
"Don't move! I'll be right there," Luan replied and she gets ready to go and is about to leave but notices Bobby, Leni and Ronnie Anne all falling down in the living room.
"Oh, hi Luan!" Leni replied.
"What are you guys doing?" Luan asked suspiciously.
"We were just doing pratfalls. I taught Leni how to do them and we've been doing them nonstop all day.
"Seriously?! Why does everyone think people falling on their butts is funny?!" Luan shouted coldly.
"Come on, Luan, no need to get so frustrated," Bobby replied.
"Yeah, what do you literally think is wrong with pratfalling?" Leni asked coldly.
"Well, Lori and Lincoln are at a birthday party trying to entertain kids there, but things aren't going well for them. His mother Lori called me and she and Lincoln both asked for my help. I was hesitant at first, but when they told me that my business' reputation could be ruined, I knew I had to help them," Luan explained.
"Well, why were you hesitant?" Bobby confessed.
"Yeah, there has to be an answer for this," Ronnie Anne suggested.
"Well, when Lori and Lincoln became my assistants, they started hogging the spotlight. Lincoln kept falling on his butt for stupid reasons, and kids were laughing at him. I told them to leave the clowning to me and just keep assisting because I'm an expert at clowning, but neither him nor Lori listened to me. But then a woman called them and told them that she only wanted them to entertain at the party, without me. I was pretty mad," Luan confessed.
"Ooooohh, I see what's going on. You're jealous that the kids were laughing at my son and my girlfriend and not you," Bobby confessed.
"What?! I'm not jealous!" Luan shouted.
"Really, because from what you just said, you weren't happy about the kids laughing at them more than you and you just told him to "keep assisting," Bobby explained, "My girlfriend and son may have been hogging your spotlight, but the way I see it, you were being very immature about it."
"It's just not fair! I'm the comedic one, and he and Lori are the... the... the assistants! I'm the one kids should be laughing at, not someone who just falls on their ass!" Luan said bitterly.
"Luan, come sit down. Let me tell you something," Bobby suggested as they both sit on the couch, "Kids laugh at what they think is funny. If they find it funny, they just find it funny. It's not Lincoln's fault and it's not Lori's fault either, it's just that... some kids think he's funny. Neither you nor Lori nor Lincoln decide what people laugh at, the people do."
After a few seconds, Luan has a sad look on her face.
"You're right. I was no better than them. I was just as much of a jerk as they were," Luan started to cry.
"You can still make it up to them. You said they need your help, so don't waste anymore time and help them," Bobby explained.
"Thanks, Bobby," Luan said softly.
"Anything for my best friends," Bobby commented before Luan kisses him on the cheek and leaves.
"Wow, Bobby. You handled that very well," Leni commented softly.
"I know. It's what I do," Bobby explained.
As Lori and Lincoln were still in the photo booth looking down, Luan appears on her unicycle.
"Luan! Wait, how did you know we were in here?" Lincoln asked in surprise.
Luan then holds out some photos of them from the photo booth.
"Well, this was a pretty good clue," Luan explained.
"Yeah, pretty sneaky of you, isn't it?" Lori commented.
"Oh! So, what's the plan?" Lincoln suggested.
"Okay, let's see what we've got here," Luan asked before she observes the crowd, "Hmm, got us a bunch of tweens. Some of them are emos even. Notoriously tough crowd. But, don't worry, this isn't my first mope fest."
The next scene, Luan is seen on stage dressed as a mime and pretends to be trapped inside a box.
"Oh, I get it. She's, like, trapped in a box. That's exactly how I felt when my mom said I couldn't dye my hair purple," Maggie explained.
Lincoln, who is also dressed as a mime, looks from backstage and smiles while Luan pretends to climb a ladder.
"Oh. My. God, Dad. It's like the soul crushing pointlessness of seventh grade," Chris Griffin complied to Peter as Luan goes backstage to get Lincoln and Lori, who were feeling nervous.
"You ready to do this?" Luan asked.
"I don't know," Lincoln answered nervously.
"You'll be fine. Just follow my lead," Luan explained as she, Lori and Lincoln all walk onstage and do a mirror routine.
"Wow! It's about how we're all just, like, clones," Maggie said in surprise.
"That's what I was gonna say," Meg explained.
"He he he he he," Peter laughed and said to himself, "Funny Business."
Lori, Lincoln, and Luan finish their routine and the goth kids slowly give an applause.
"Wow. Marge and I have to get their business card so that they'll be there when Bart and Lisa have their respected birthdays," Homer complied and the other parents murmur in agreement.
"Well, I call the weekend of the 22nd," the Bratty Kid's Mom and the kids all start cheering and a single black rose is tossed onto stage as Luan picks it up.
Later, Lori, Luan and Lincoln are all heading home.
"Thanks for saving our butts. You were amazing out there. And we're sorry for the way we were acting," Lincoln explained.
"I'm sorry too, you guys. I was just jealous that you were both getting laughs instead of me. I was being harsh and immature," Luan moped.
"Yeah, Luan. You're still a funny person. After all, you are the comedic genius. Your business would've been ruined if you didn't show up," Lincoln replied.
"Yeah, this business is nothing without you," Lori added.
"So we're cool?" Luan asked.
"We're all cool. And we're still your assistants?" Lori asked.
"Absolutely," Luan replied.
"That's great. Plus, I think I had enough comedy for one day. Yeah, I know what they mean when they say laugh until it hurts," Lori explained.
"Here, let me get those for you," Lincoln explained. but he accidentally rips the bag and slips on the whoopee cushions that just went all over the place and lands on them, which all make farting sounds.
"You know, that actually was kind of funny. Here, let me help..." suddenly, her unicycle slips on another whoopee cushion, sending her flying and landing on the whoopee cushions and Lincoln and they laugh.
"Hold on, there. I..." Lori shouted before she slips on the whoopee cushions, "Eye-a-watha!" she lands on the whoopie cushions and lands on the other two, "You know, this does seem fun after all."
With that, the three relatives do pratfalls as they land on the whoopee cushions and laugh together again.
