Plot

Max Fleischer draws Betty, then leaves her for the night in the studio. Koko escapes from the inkwell and helps himself to a candy bar left behind by Max. He starts to eat some of it but soon gets a terrible toothache. Betty tries to perform some amateur dentistry on Koko, by trying to yank the bad tooth out while dancing. After this fails, she attempts to calm him down but uses too much laughing gas, causing Betty and Koko to laugh hysterically. The laughing gas spreads the room, making a cuckoo clock and a typewriter laugh hysterically. The laughing gas then goes out the window and spreads into town. Both people and inanimate objects begin laughing hysterically, including a mailbox, a parking meter, a bridge, cars and graves. The short ends when Betty and Koko get back in the inkwell and it begins laughing, before panting.

Production notes

This is a partial remake of the 1924 Koko animated short, The Cure. It is also Koko's last theatrical appearance. (For more information about Koko, see Koko the Clown).

gollark: Nonsense. Haskell is perfectly maintainable.
gollark: String interpolation, while quite convenient, can lead to injection things since it's easier than doing things properly with bound parameters or HTML escaping or whatever.
gollark: Well, at least it's not *memory*-unsafe, although it introduces !!FUN!! new problems.
gollark: People can earn money writing COBOL.
gollark: That doesn't make the language good.
