Recap / Care Bears Unlock The Magic S 1 E 49 The Last Laugh

Disappointed when his friends don't laugh at his jokes, Funshine encounters the Laffinpuff, a magical comedian who grants Funshine's wish to make everyone think he's funny. But it's no fun when people laugh at everything he says.

Tropes:

• Adventurer Archaeologist: The Care Bears take on this role in the beginning of the episode as they are exploring the ruins of an ancient city.
• Be Careful What You Wish For: After being hypnotized into thinking all of the Laffinpuff’s jokes are funny, Funshine muses that he wishes his friends thought he was that funny. Unfortunately, he doesn’t realize that the Laffinpuff can also grant wishes and soon he can’t even get a word out to his friends without them interrupting him with hysterical laughter.
• The Bet: After Funshine realizes that he doesn’t want to be funny all the time, he and the Laffinpuff come to the agreement that if Funshine can make it until an hourglass runs out without laughing at the Laffinpuff’s jokes, then he will reverse his wish.
• Large Ham: The Laffinpuff is this in spades, so much so that he makes Funshine look like the Straight Man.
• Mind-Control Eyes: Funshine’s eyes turn to swirls when Laffinpuff hypnotizes him into thinking all of his corny jokes are hilarious.
• Sealed Evil in a Can: More like Sealed Silly in a Can, when Funshine rings the doorbell of an ancient building, it releases the Laffinpuff - a fun-loving, joke-telling magical creature.
• Tough Room: The plot is kicked off by Funshine’s disappointment at his friends not laughing at his jokes.
