- I love going to the movies.

The sticky floors make me feel grounded.

- I can't wait for you to see this movie, SpongeBob.

It's the funniest thing I've never seen in your life.

There's this one part where this guy...

[laughs] - Two combos, please.

- Is wearing a hat. [laughing]

- No spoilers, Patrick.

"Prudence in Love"?

That doesn't sound funny.

Patrick, are you sure we're in the right theater?

- I love you, Prudence. - And I you, Nathaniel.

- But I love you more, Prudence.

- Then I love you slightly more than that, Nathaniel.

- It's not a competition, Prudence.

- But if it were, I'd be winning.

- Aw, this is so sweet.

[whispers] But it's not funny.

- [laughs]

- But your laughter is so infectious.

[laughter]

- And just then, all the years

of excessive laughing finally took their toll,

and SpongeBob's funny bone got stuck in high gear.

[laughter]

- It's not that funny, SpongeBob.

- [continues laughing]

- Hey, what are you laughing at?

This is a melodrama, not a comedy.

- Yes! Take a hike, Chuckles.

[audience booing]

- Can you believe this guy,

laughing all through the movie like that?

- Who is making all that noise?

- [laughing]

- All right, laughing boy,

take your hardy har hars outside!

[audience cheering]

- Oh!

[laughs] Huh? Uh-oh.

Why can't-- why can't I stop laughing?

[laughs]

Oh, what am I going to do? [giggles]

I'll just have to-- hold it in.

[snickers]

[grunts]

[muffled chuckling]

I know. I'll just hold my breath.

[inhales deeply]

- No doubt about it, sir.

You look fantastic in that hat.

- [laughs]

- Oh, I look fantastic, huh? - Oh, wait.

I'm not laughing at you.

I really like that hat. [laughing]

- [sobbing]

- You're crying over spilled milk!

[laughs] Sorry! Sorry. Sorry.

[upbeat music]

[giggles]

OK, if I can just make it to the kitchen,

nobody will hear me laughing.

[chuckles]

- SpongeBob, kindly get in the kitchen.

And off of my face! - Your face?

[laughs]

- What's so funny about my face?

- Well, there's nothing funny about your--

face. [laughs]

- Don't laugh at me.

I laugh at you. Ha!

Don't listen to him. You're beautiful.

Mwah.

- Nobody will hear my laughs in here.

[groans] [laughs]

- Hey, I'm eating here!

- Why is the restaurant laughing at us?

- [laughs] - Huh?

[growls]

- [laughing] - SpongeBob!

- [laughing]

- Your little laughing prank

just scared away all the customers.

Explain yourself, boyo!

- He's laughing at my face, Mr. Krabs.

- Oh, I'm not laughing at you, Squidward.

[stifled laughter] I'm not laughing at anything.

[laughs] Mr. Krabs, what do I do?

- Think of happy thoughts and just knock it off!

- I am offended!

There is no one here to take my Fifi's order!

- Oh, gold-plated sorries, Lady Upturn.

Mr. Squidward will take

your very important order right away.

- Whoa! I need an ambulance.

- [laughs]

- How dare you laugh at my misfortune!

Mr. Krabs, fire this cretin at once!

- You heard her.

Come back when you're not a giggling idiot.

- Don't come back?

But, Mr. Krabs, I'm not laughing on purpose.

[laughs] - [gasps]

He's laughing at you, Fifi

- [laughing]

I got to hide.

That way, my laughter won't hurt anyone else.

[laughs] OK, good.

It's dark.

If there's nothing to see, there's nothing to laugh at.

Right?

[snickering]

- Today, we will be operating on a robot.

- Oh, robot. - How exciting.

- What will they think of next?

- I will begin by loosening the first bolt.

Nurse, wrench.

[grunts]

Wow. This is really on tight.

Nurse, sponge.

- Ooh. [laughs]

- Laughing is not allowed in the operating room.

Get out of here!

Clowns? Oh, no.

- There are two kinds of clowns in this world,

clowns that are only laughing on the outside,

and clowns that are only laughing on the inside.

Sparkle Nose the Clown was both,

and that's what made him a star.

[horn honks]

[horns honking]

- So solemn. I should leave.

Whoa! [horn honks]

Hey! [laughs]

Holy herring, I'm squatting on a corpse.

- Would you get off my chest?

- [laughs] Huh? You're alive?

- Of course, I'm alive.

This is a living funeral, and you're ruining it.

- Sorry.

I'm not laughing at you, Sparkle Nose.

Oh, I'll just get off of your chest.

Whoa!

[whimsical music]

- I'm allergic to wreath pollen!

Eeh, ah...

- Cheese it, he's going to blow!

- Achoo!

- Sorry. [laughs]

- You turned my clown funeral into a joke!

[honking]

- [laughs] Forgive me, Sparkle Nose!

[laughs]

- Hours later, poor SpongeBob

still could not stop laughing.

And his laughing mouth got so big,

it took over his whole face.

- Oh, I'm tired of all this cackling and chuckling.

I feel more like I want to--

Oh, "Weep"? "The saddest movie ever."

That's it!

A movie started my laughing. Maybe a movie can stop it.

You can't stop laughing either? - Of course not, dearie.

My funny bone got stuck years ago

when I was your age. - Your funny bone?

- That's right.

It happens to everyone in our family.

Be proud of that laugh, SpongeBob.

To be a SquarePants is to laugh loud at life.

Enjoy a good laugh with me. - Oh, thanks, Grandma.

I'm all out of popcorn.

Now it's a tragedy.
