[Jae-youl continues humming]

[masters laughing]

[Seung-jin] Sun-uk and Jae-youl showed up

in these god-awful costumes

and kept following me around.

That was rough.

Even now, I...

Damn it.

How was I not supposed to laugh?

-[Young-joon] He's holding it in.

EOM JI-YOON, JO HOON

-[Sun-uk] Hey, Ok-ji.
-[Seung-jin clapping]

-Let's have fun, Ju-hui.

Whenever comedians try
to make each other laugh,

it's not funny at all.

[Jae-youl] Mr. Seo Young-rak.

[comical music playing]

Bbangbbang.

Ji-yoon seems to be in trouble.

[Kyung-kyu] She laughs pretty easily.

[Jae-youl] Mr. Seo Young-rak.

I'm terrible at holding my laughter.

I prepared a wig that flips open.

But I started wanting to laugh
the moment I grabbed the wire.

Just thinking about it cracks me up.

I couldn't help it.

Especially with Jae-seong going...

I knew I wouldn't get much screen time,

so I tried to survive longer
so that she'd get to see more of me.

[Sun-uk] He was so funny.

I thought he might approach me

You're not allowed to.

-Oh, really?
-[Jae-seong] No.

[Eun-ji]
I feel like Seung-jin's going to laugh.

[harmonica plays]

[Jae-seong] The only thing
that can make other people laugh

is what we call "playing it straight."

That's how you make comedians laugh.

Who wants to...

bite the harmonica and get whipped?

You lose

Jae-seong smiles in a certain way
when he's scared.

[Du-young] With that forced smile

on top of his awful makeup
and his teeth showing,

it was impossible to control myself.
