"Monsters Inc. Laugh Floor Comedy Club" Update

I know this type of thread has been done to death, but still, I felt it was needed. :wave: A few things I forgot, sence I have the memory of a golf fish, so pardon the empty-ness.

A few days ago while I was at the Magic Kingdom, they were previewing the "Monsters Inc. Laugh Floor Comedy Club". Me, my mom, and my dad dragged my niece into the waiting room and saw a short video on the screen. The animation was almost perfect, but still needed work. The video told us how laughter was more powerful than screams, how taking us into thier world would help them get electricity, yadda yadda yadda... And after five minutes of waiting, we were sat into the theater! Yay!

A purple moster on the screen told us all to move all the way across the benches as anyone would and welcomed everyone. He explained his name was Bob Boil and said hello, and the audience responded in a hello. Bob then said that when a monster says hello to a human, the human should respond with, "AHHHHHHHHHH!" So, he said hello again and everyone screamed. :lol: He then told the audience how he got his eyes to look like eye stalks and did funny things with his eyes (this is where I begin to get a bit foggy). For a reason I forgot, Bob left the stage, and Roz appeared on the left screen and made a gloomy welcome. The audience didn't quite respond, but laughed. "This is gonna be a great show, I can tell," Roz said sarcastically. Everyone laughed, and Roz dissapeared for a reason I can't remember and Mike appeared. "Hi, I'm Mike Wazowski, that's Wazowski with one eye," he said. Everyone giggled, and two mega watts appeared on the giant tank. Mike then told us how humans were confusing to monsters as to monsters were confusing to humans.

"In the monster world, when someone says ya smell like garbage, it's a complement! And to us, we think hot dogs are made of dogs, hamburgers are made of ham, and you humanitarians eat humans! Or do ya?"

Everyone laughed, and Mike then turned our attention the the screen to the left again, and an announcer told us the upcoming acts.

First up was a two-headed monster named Mac and Jeeves (haha..funny..). Mac was an 'expert' on human locations while Jeeves would pick random audiance members to ask them where they lived so Mac could dazzle the audience with his 'knowledge'. Jeeves picked on a man from Massechusettes, and Mac said, "Ah, Massechusettes! An island in the Pacific famouse for it's volcanoes, and ofcoarse, the Eifel Tower!" Jeeves asked if Mac was correct, and the man, ofcoarse, said no. Mac and Jeeves' jaws dropped, stared at each other, and moved on to another person. This man was from New York, and Mac said, "Ah! New York! Inhabited by cammels and penguins, and ofcoarse, famouse for the Eifel Tower!" The man said no, so Jeeve decide to tell a joke.

Jeeves: Why didn't the skeliton cross the road?
Mac: How come? *phone rings* Oh, hold on. *picks the phone up* Yeah, hi. Oh, hey, I have a joke! Why didn't the skeliton cross the road? *pause* 'Cause he didn't have the guts! Haha! Okay, bye. *hangs up* Okay, what were you saying, Jeeves?
Jeeves: ...Nevermind...
Mac: :veryconfu

The curtain went down, and now, Bob Boil comes back for the second act. Bob bought a tape to make him a better comedian, and the tape tells him to do funny, random things.

Recording: Say your name and where you're from!
Bob: My name and where I'm from!
Recording: Pick a member from the audience!
Bob: Okay, that guy! *points at a man*
Recording: Tell her she looks beautiful today!
Bob: You..look..beautiful today?...

After a few more corney but still funny things for Bob to do, the tape malfunctions and Bob runs off to go fix it.

For the third and final act, a gold monster that looks like Mike only smaller appears on the stage. His name is Marty Wazowski, Mike's nephew. He is supposedly the funniest and youngest monster in Monstopolis, according to Mike.

"You know how moms seems to have eyes in the back of thier heads? Well, my mom literally does! Six of 'em, to be exact! She has 20x20x20 vision, and her name's Iris!"

Marty then asks who's in the theater to raise thier hands, and only a few people out of what seems to be like 400 raises thier hands. "Oh, not that many people are here..." The audience laughs. Marty then picks little kids to be his friend, and lucky for my niece, he picks her. :sohappy: Although Marty mistook the name Savannah for Johanna, still, my niece enjoyed it. My niece is four, and can't pronounce her name correctly (she says her name like, "Suh-hanna"), so don't blame Marty.

Marty: Yay! I have a new friend named Johanna! Do you have any chores?
My Niece (AKA Savannah): Uhhh... Yeah.
Marty: Like what?
Savannah: Uhhh... Pick up toys.
Marty: What's your favourite toy?
Savannah: Uhhh... Cinderrewwa!
Marty: A Cinderella toy? Oh, wow! She's neat-o!

Marty then gave her an applause, and so did the audience. Marty then told the audience to whomever to be his friend shout thier names. "Cool, I have a friend named *jibberish*! The show then ended, and then everyone told jokes from people who text messaged to the show. Most of the people thought the show was great, as so did I. Hopefully people who thought the show was bad in the past would change thier minds and give this show another chance..please? :)

Well, I don't see why people wouldn't like MILFCC. I guess some people forget that these are tests and not the actual attraction, and just assume the whole thing's gonna bomb. I'm only 13, and I know the tests aren't perfect, but I tried to forget the flaws and tried to focus on the funny-ness and cuteness of the show. And I gotta say, the MILFCC made my whole nine days at Disney World memorable. :)

I'm sorry, but this is just sounding lamer and lamer every time I read more about it. The jokes that you described are just as dull as dishwater. Not funny in the slightest. And it seems like the imagineers made no attempt what so ever to fit the Monsters Inc theme into Tomorrowland. Not one. This is an absolute disaster. The money that went into this poor excuse of a ride could be used for so many better things at the parks like fixing up SSE, GMR, HM and others. Its such a shame.

Thanks for the update though, sumshine. We appreciate it.

Well, I appreciate you taking the time to write such a wonderfully descriptive preview of this ride. Its funny how you say you dont have a good memory, when after reading all of that, I respectfully disagree;)

Anyways, your post is the first Ive read of the attraction that actually makes it sound like it can be good. Even though most of the jokes you said they said werent funny to me in the least, I can see how many people will laugh out loud at em. And remembering that whats funny to alot may not be funny to alot of others. So its all up in the air from here. I still dont know whether or not Im going to actually see this, seeing how I dont really liked to be called out at shows and such, and I dont really like it being in tomorrowland going against its them, I still may have to forget some of that and suck it up and actually go see this thing.

Once again, thanks for the post.

I think someone in Imagineering forgot that we went into Turtle Talk at Epcot willing/wanting to learn about turtles and sea life because we're at Epcot.

I think I speak for a good lot of people when I say I have no desire to learn "facts" about the made up world of Monsters and also have them get the geography of the world wrong too..

If they rethink that part, I think the script would be much better.

Although I am willing to give it a chance, I agree with this poster's concerns. Plus, the generally bad vibe so far is troubling.

I've seen this done to death and wish that the audience member would play along and say, "Yes, absolutely we have the Eifel Tower in New York! Was it painted pink or green when you were there?" Or something to that effect insead of the same old [predictable], 'uh, no.'

I am still hopeful that this attraction does well. I do like it's location and theming and I hear that it scores very well with teen-age girls (it must be the giggle factor).

Well..atleast you're honest. I guess everyone has thier own opinion about this attraction, and I respect your.

And you're very welcome, imagineer boy. :)

Aw... Thanks so much! :o

In my opinion, if you've never seen the show yourself before, you should try it atleast once before you make your desision. It's like..tasting oisters for the first time. It looks horrible, but once you taste it, you might actually like it..or, it may look horrible, and it may turn out to really be horrible. It's all based apon what you think.

And you're welcome. :)

That's not what the Imagineers were trying to do..sure, Mike said a small fact about what mosters think of humans, and sure, Mac said something totally stupid about Massichusettes, but the Imagineers are trying to make it funny by updating the show to make guests like it..oops, I'm defending. ^^;

Oh well, opinions are opinions.

Well, the premise of Turtle Talk, and how of it's shows start, is with Crush coming out and saying that he's here to learn about the human world for his son, Squirt, and in turn they can ask him questions about the turtle world.

Which sounds an awful lot like...

"In the monster world, when someone says ya smell like garbage, it's a complement! And to us, we think hot dogs are made of dogs, hamburgers are made of ham, and you humanitarians eat humans! Or do ya?"

Everyone laughed, and Mike then turned our attention the the screen to the left again, and an announcer told us the upcoming acts.

Does it not? To me it looks like someone just inserted "interactive digital puppet show premise #4" and applied Monsters Inc to it.

I guess it sorta does, but while Crush doesn't know anything about the human world, Mac "knows" stuff about the human world. Also, TTWC is supposed to be educational, while MILFCC is supposed to be, well, funny.

Crud, I'm defending again. Sorry, I always do this. :zipit:

Wow Mousermerf and Imagineerboy...you guys are very quick to respond to a postive thread about the Laugh Floor, but seem to be taking your time to do the right thing and admit you jumped the gun on who I am over at this thread...

And Mousermerf just for your information, that isn't the excact wording of the joke you quoted, but Sumshine did do a good job of remembering it. (I can't think of the exact word for word quote myself either. )

Some of you people just baffle me.

Look, bad news travels much faster than good, so the past couple threads that were positive opinions about this attractions may as well be multiplied by 10. Then you have the multiple threads saying it's awful, which are worth exactly what they are.

Have you ever done research on a product or hotel on the internet? 90% of what you'll read is negative, because those that had a great time were supposed to have a great time, and therefore, nothing to report. Those that had a terrible time feel like they need to tell the world.

The jokes seemed to be typical for this type of attraction. If you were expecting to go in there and be entertained like a typical coomedy club, then you had no chance at enjoying this attraction to begin with. If you hate the way it sounds so much, then just don't go. This attraction WILL open, and it WILL be here for a while. Period.

I, for one, haven't seen the show, but at least I'm going in with an open mind wanting to enjoy it. I feel sorry for the rest of you. ;)

Well said. It's not too easy to find great reviews of anything anywhere on the intertron.
But, what's that?
It feels like a cool breeze...
Could it be?

Did I get my point acrross after all these many threads?
