  • (spooky music) (squealing)

  • (evil laughing) (screaming)

  • (storming) (calm music)

  • - Grave, grave, gravy boat, floating down the stream.

  • Merrily merrily merrily, huh?

  • - [Punnywise] (evil laughing)

  • - Awe, that laugh.

  • For some reason it makes me really strange.

  • - [Punnywise] Are you sure it doesn't make you feel grate?

  • (evil laughing)

  • - Ah, bro I get it.

  • I'm stuck on a grate.

  • How about a little less jokes and a little more help,

  • mysterious sewer person.

  • - [Punnywise] Okay, I'll stop clowning around.

  • I've gotten plenty of other boats unstuck, so don't worry.

  • You'll float too!

  • - Okay, cool!

  • So, do you have something you can push me with?

  • - Sorry, no arms, but I can touch my tongue to my eyeball.

  • - No, I don't see how that's of any help to me whatso--

  • oh my goodness that is so creepy!

  • - I was just trying to help!

  • Together we can lick this problem! (evil laughing)

  • - Awe that laugh again.

  • Ooo what's happening to me?

  • - What's the matter?

  • Don't my jokes float your boat? (evil laughing)

  • - Awe, what the?

  • (evil laughing)

  • Please, stop laughing!

  • It's, it's-- (screams)

  • - Talk about a grave, grave, gravy boat. (evil laughing)

  • (intense music)

  • - Huh, who's there?

  • Hello?

  • - Hey Pear!

  • - Ah, dude!

  • What are you doing up on that bookshelf?

  • - I don't know, sometimes I like to see

  • what the world looks like to tall people.

  • - Ugh, well get down here!

  • I think I found something important.

  • - About the clown everyone's talking about?

  • Do you think Punnywise is actually real?

  • - I'm still not sure.

  • A clown who's laugh can kill you?

  • It sounds crazy,

  • but I started researching the history of comedy in Dairy,

  • and here's what I found.

  • Back in the 90s there was this prop comic called Orange Top.

  • Like all prop comics, he was super unfunny.

  • Nobody laughed.

  • They usually just groaned or rolled their eyes.

  • Well, one day,

  • he made an audience member roll her eyes so hard

  • that she fell out of her chair and died!

  • The town formed a mob and tried Orange Top for murder!

  • In the moments before he died,

  • Orange Top cursed the town of Dairy,

  • claiming he'd return in 27 years,

  • and this Autumn just so happens to be the 27th anniversary

  • of his passing.

  • - Oh my gosh!

  • Pear, we can't let anyone bring prop comedy back!

  • Society fought too hard to rid ourselves of it!

  • We can never go back!

  • - Listen, I found these old VHS tapes of Orange Top

  • in the video section.

  • - Don't make me watch 'em, Pear!

  • - What have to!

  • It's up to us to stop Punnywise!

  • Now let's go round up the rest of the losers!

  • These tapes might tell us something!

  • - Yeah, I've been thinking,

  • maybe we can name ourselves something other than the losers.

  • It's really not helping at school.

  • (creepy music)

  • - Oh wow, what a relief!

  • How can I ever thank you?

  • I'm so very grape-ful.

  • (booing)

  • - Bro, I don't know how much more I can take.

  • - I think he's kind of funny. (laughs)

  • - Hey guys, did someone bring that balloon in with them?

  • - No.

  • - Eh, someone must've accidentally

  • stepped on the VCR cables.

  • - How, none of us have feet!

  • - Did somebody change the channel?

  • - Hey, here's a joke.

  • - Tell me if you've heard this one before.

  • - Uh, wait, listen!

  • I think the TV is telling us a joke.

  • - Why don't cannibals eat clowns?

  • - I don't know, why don't cannibals eat clowns?

  • - Well?

  • - Cause they taste funny! (evil laughing)

  • Where's everyone going?

  • Don't you wanna take a stab at prop comedy? (evil laughing)

  • - Don't listen to his laughter!

  • Cover your ears!

  • - We don't have ears!

  • - You don't have any ears?

  • I have something that might help, hear! (evil laughing)

  • Get it, hear? (evil laughing)

  • - Ah, it's laughter, I can't take it.

  • - Yes you can, go on, take it! (evil laughing)

  • - Ah, it's so unfunny, ah!

  • (evil laughing)

  • (screaming)

  • - Grapefruit!

  • (screaming)

  • - I think it's coming from the sewer!

  • - We gotta go help him!

  • - In the sewer, with that creepy clown running around?

  • I'll pass, we don't even know how to beat him!

  • - What if we fight fire with fire.

  • His terrible jokes are making our lives miserable, right?

  • So what is we gave him a taste of his own medicine?

  • - Yay, I love medicine!

  • It helps so many people!

  • - So what are you saying, Pear?

  • - I'm saying we go down to where he lives, into the sewer,

  • and we kill Punnywise with--

  • - Punny humor!

  • - Normally I'd be annoyed by a joke like that,

  • but honestly, that's the exact kind of energy

  • we need right now!

  • - Yay!

  • - Ah, this looks so much more sanitary

  • when the Ninja Turtles do it.

  • (evil laughing) - Shh, listen!

  • I think we're getting close!

  • - Great, that's exactly what I'm afraid of!

  • - [Punnywise] You sure you're not afraid of crabs?

  • (evil laughing)

  • - Okay, yeah, he's right!

  • That was exactly what I was afraid of.

  • - Stay strong, little Apple!

  • I read about this in the library.

  • Punnywise can take many different forms!

  • Keep it together and remember the plan.

  • - Yeah, I definitely piddled myself back there.

  • I guess it's a good thing we're already in a sewer.

  • Cut out the middle man.

  • - Fellas, you came for me!

  • - Grapefruit, let's get you and us the heck out of here!

  • - Wait, look closer, that's not Grapefruit.

  • - Eh, well well, it seems you're too clever for me.

  • I guess I'll just have to face facts. (evil laughing)

  • - Ah, his laughter, it's, it's too much!

  • - Stick to the plan!

  • - Okay, hey Punnywise, hey!

  • - Yeah?

  • - Knock knock.

  • - Ooo, a joke, Punnywise loves jokes!

  • Who's there?

  • - Cow says.

  • - Cow says who.

  • - No, cow says moo!

  • - (evil laughing) That's such a bad joke, I kinda love it.

  • Wow, what's my body doing?

  • Well that's dairy unexpected. (evil laughing)

  • - Hey Punnywise you hear the one about the Italian chef?

  • He pasta away.

  • - (evil laughing) I should've seen that one coming.

  • Jokes like that are a pizza cake.

  • (coughing) Hey, what's happening to me?

  • - I think the better question is what's hap-pun-ing to you?

  • (laughing)

  • - (evil laughing) Wow, even Marshmallow's

  • getting in on the action. (gagging)

  • - I contributed, yay!

  • - Look, is that Grapefruit?

  • - It is I, the hour or so has been quite strange.

  • - [Pear] Grapefruit, we're on the verge

  • of beating Punnywise.

  • You just gotta make him laugh one last time.

  • - Say no more.

  • Hey Punnywise! (farting)

  • - (evil laughing) It's so dumb!

  • Whoa, oh no!

  • I will return, I will return!

  • (cheering)

  • - Grapefruit, that fart was brilliant!

  • - Yeah, dude, perfectly timed and everything.

  • Way to go!

  • - (chuckles) Thanks guys, yeah that was definitely planned.

  • It certainly wasn't an accidental fart

  • and I definitely wasn't planning on delivering

  • a high brow political limerick

  • I've been polishing up for the past few months

  • as a submission to the New Yorker.

  • - Look, it's Orange Top!

  • - Where am I?

  • - Orange Top, you've been possessed

  • by a murderous clown demon for the past 27 years.

  • - You mean, I'm free?

  • - That's right, you don't have to tell bad jokes anymore.

  • - Oh wow, what a relief!

  • How can I ever thank you?

  • I'm so very grape-ful!

  • (record scratching)

  • - What is happening right now?

  • - Nothing, I'm just trying to say thanks a latte!

  • (groaning)

  • - Really dude?

  • - What, would you prefer a note of appreciation?

  • (evil laughing)

  • (groaning)

  • - Well, lesson learned,

  • once a prop comic, always a prop comic.

  • - Honestly, I almost preferred the clown.

  • - Awe, did they not enjoy my jokes?

  • Gee, I hope I didn't blow it! (evil laughing)

  • (intense music)

(spooky music) (squealing)
