A parody of the episode: Laugh Ed Laugh
The story begins with Lori getting into Vanzilla. She texts a message to her friend Becky. I'm running a little late, but I'm on my way.
Lori waits for a response, then Becky replies back. Ok gurlfriend.
Lori drives off. "This is literally gonna be great. Me and my friends are having a mini golf tournament at Becky's place. I guarantee that nothing will ruin this day."
Soon, Lori arrives at Becky's place with her golf putter. She rings the doorbell and hears someone groaning. Becky opens the door, and she looks ill.
"Oh, hey Lori. I had to cancel the golf tournament."
"What? Why?"
"Everyone got a nasty stomach flu. It must've been from that bad sushi that Chaz brought."
"Food poisoning? I've been there." Lori said as she remembered the time Leni made sandwiches for a family vacation. "But for real? Everyone got sick?"
Then Lori got text messages from her friends, notifying her about their sickness. She read one from Chaz.
"Hey Lori, I can't hang out right now. Expired sushi is not sitting well."
Then she read one message from Dana.
"I'm sick Lori, thanks to Chaz and his bad sushi."
She read one from Carol.
"Hey, you've probably already heard, but me and the others are sick from food poisoning. You're lucky though."
Lori looked through the rest of the messages. "It's true. I'm the only one who's not sick."
"Sorry we can't hang out, Lori." Becky said. "But you should enjoy the day while you can."
Then she turned green as she looked nauseous. "I gotta go!" She shut the door and left. Lori heard Becky vomit, which concerned and disgusted her.
Now Lori is driving off in Vanzilla. She comes across Clyde's house and sees Clyde and his fathers building something. Lori rolls down her window. "Clyde?"
Clyde noticed her and stuttered. "L-L-Lori?"
"I thought you were hanging out with my brother and his friends."
"Well, I would have, but I planned on working on this space pod model with my dads." Clyde gestures to the pod they were making.
"What do you need a space pod for?"
"We're attending a sci-fi convention and we planned on submitting it."
Howard and Harold are seen in the pod, but there's not enough room.
"It's a little cramped in here." Howard said as he was crushed by Harold.
"Wow, you're such a geek." Lori deadpanned.
"Thank you." Clyde said. "So what are you up to?"
"Nothing really. I was going to spend time with my friends but none of them are available right now."
"Say, why don't you hang with us? We could use someone to cosplay as an alien." Clyde pulled out an alien antenna.
Lori cringed. "Um...I just remembered I had an important...thing to do at home."
Lori instantly drives off.
"See you next time, my love." Clyde said quietly.
Back at the Loud house, Lori was going to solve a jigsaw puzzle with her parents in the living room.
"I'm glad you decided to join us in our fifty piece puzzle game." Rita said.
"Well, since my friends are sick and my siblings are hanging out with their friends, this was literally my next option."
"Alright then, let's get jiggy with this jigsaw puzzle." Lynn Sr. said excitedly.
After solving some of the puzzle, Lori was getting a little bored with it. She was about to put in another piece, but Rita beat her to it.
"Hey, it was my turn!" Lori angrily slammed a puzzle piece onto the puzzle. "Your turn."
Lori got up and walked away. Her parents were confused by her behavior.
"Is Lori ok?" Lynn Sr. wondered. Rita shrugged.
Lynn Sr. and Rita are now making a stack of cards. Lori is pacing back and forth, looking irritated.
"One final piece." Lynn Sr. added the last card but then the stack of cards fell apart. The two adults laughed.
"You guys are boring me!" Lori yelled. Lynn Sr. was about to leave. "Where are you going, baldy? Yeah, that's right. Your hair is falling out."
"Lori!" Rita exclaimed to her daughter.
"And you, what's with the big hips? What have you been eating?"
Rita was speechless. Lynn Sr. changed the subject.
"I know. Let's go change a lightbulb."
"Boring! Your ideas are boring! I need my friends!"
"Look Lori, you'll just have to wait for your friends to recover." Rita said. Lori sighed.
"Come on, Lynn. Let's go change that lightbulb."
The parents begin to leave.
"Hey, wait you guys! Um, check this out!" Lori turned herself into a human pretzel, looking a bit strained as she did "Ta-da!"
"We've seen that before, honey." Lynn Sr. mentioned. "Now you're boring us."
Lori tried to call her friends on her phone. "Dana? Please answer!"
No response.
She calls Chaz. "Chaz?
No reply.
She tries calling Carol and Joey, but they don't answer.
"Maybe I can chat with Bobby." She sent him a message. Bobby Boo Boo Bear, I desperately need some to talk to.
He sent a message back to her. Sorry Babe, can't right now. Really busy at the bodega today.
She groaned in frustration, but then remembered another person. "Clyde!" She tries to call him but then stops, realizing what she was doing. "Oh no! I'm calling on Clyde!"
Lori sank down as she was starting to lose her sanity. She felt her brain popping like popcorn. Then she started moving uncontrollably and running around like a maniac. Lynn Sr. and Rita saw this.
"Lori's funny." Lynn Sr. said amused.
"Oh dear." Rita said worriedly. "Lynn, this is serious. We've got to do something. Without friends to hang out with, she's gone crazy!"
Lori ran through the front door, laughing crazily.
Rita watched her daughter run off. "We've got no choice, Lynn. For our daughter's safety, we'll have to capture her."
Lori, in her state of craziness, climbed up a tree. "I see you!" She scared some squirrels away. "Hey, where ya going?"
"Oh Lori!" Lori heard a voice and looked down. She saw Becky and Chaz. Actually, they were her parents disguised as Becky and Chaz. Her dad is wearing a Becky mask and her mom is wearing a Chaz mask. Lori jumped down and was happy to see her friends.
"Hey guys! Chaz, did you lose weight?"
Before Rita could answer, Lynn's mask fell to the ground.
"Oops."
"Becky, you dropped your face. I'll get you a new one." Lori ran off.
"Well, this didn't work." Rita said, as she had her mask off.
At the park, Lori comes across a mother and her baby boy. "Aw, what an adorable baby."
"Oh, why thank you." The mother said.
The baby had a lollipop in his mouth and pulled it out.
"Candy!" Lori took the candy, put it in her mouth and ran off. The mother's baby started crying.
"Hey, how dare you steal candy from a baby!" The mother scolded.
Lynn Sr. and Rita rushed by.
"We'll take care of this, ma'am." Lynn Sr. said.
"I'm sorry about this." Rita said.
Lori was at the playground, sucking on the lollipop.
"Lori, drop the candy!" Rita ordered.
"You'll have to catch me first!" Lori escaped, using athletic skills. Her parents were unable to catch up to her.
Lori found a hot dog cart and thought it was a tanning bed. She laid on it.
"Hey lady, what do you think you're doing?" The vendor said, annoyed.
"Relaxing." Lori said calmly.
Rita and Lynn Sr. sneaked over with rope tied to a plunger.
"Ma'am, this is not a tanning salon!" The vendor said.
"Now Lynn!" Rita ordered. Lynn threw the plunger onto Lori's head.
"Ambush!" Lori panicked and ran away, dragging Rita who was holding the rope.
"Rita!" Lynn Sr. followed. Lori ran into another corner of the street. Rita bumped into objects as she was being dragged. Then she bumped into a light pole, causing her to lose Lori. Lynn Sr. caught up to his wife.
"You have all the fun." He complained and helped his wife up. She had a bruised face and spit some leaves out of her mouth.
In the neighborhood, Lori is seen behind a fence, still looking loony. "Those coppers will never take me alive!"
Then she sees something. A picture of Bobby attached to some rope on the ground. "Hello handsome."
Lori tries to grab the picture, but it's pulled away. "Come back here, Boo Boo Bear."
She chases after it. Rita is the one with rope, leading Lori to somewhere as her husband follows. She reels the picture in and waves it at Lori.
"Stop teasing. Bobby, I'm home!"
Lori runs into Rita. Her parents have led her to a shed.
"You and me against the world, baby!" Lori had the picture of Bobby as she was running around.
"Honey, close the door." Rita told Lynn Sr. He closed it and Rita locked it, as she used a few different locks. She hands a key to Lynn. "Hide this key discreetly."
He put the key in a jar.
"Let's get married." Lori said to the picture of Bobby.
"Not so fast, missy." Rita said. "You haven't even graduated from high school yet."
"Oh Lori, I've got a surprise for you." Lynn Sr. directed her attention to "Bobby" who was standing behind her.
"BOBBY!" Lori tackled and hugged him. "You're here! You're really here! Now we can hang out!"
"Lori, take a closer look at "Bobby". Lynn Sr. pointed at what Lori was really holding.
"What?" Lori then realized this wasn't the real Bobby. It was cardboard. "Hey, this is just a cardboard cutout of Bobby! You tricked me!"
Lori threw the cardboard in anger.
"Lori's mad." Lynn noted.
"That's right, she's back to normal." Rita said smiling.
Lori growled but heard voices from outside. Luckily, there was a window in the shed so Lori looked out and she saw her friends, walking past her.
"My friends! They're all better!" Lori said happily. "I'm getting out of here."
Lori went to the door and tried to open it, but it was locked. "Where's the key?"
"I put it in this unbreakable jar with the lid glued on." Lynn Sr. stated.
"You what?!" Lori exclaimed. She took the jar and tried to open it.
"Oh, that probably wasn't the best idea." Lynn realized. Rita facepalmed. Lori couldn't open the jar.
"The window!" Lori tried to open the window, but that wouldn't open. "Oh come on! How will we get out of here?!"
Lynn Sr. noticed a small hole. "I've got it."
Lynn Sr. got to work, digging a way out of the shed with his bare hands. "This may take some time."
