Back at Marinette's house, Harry came by again and Marinette told him that Luka would go see his show.

Marinette: He said he'll see your show. He doesn't have much of a sense of humor nor not much of a big fan of comedy.

Harry: I understand, Marinette. But trust me, my skits will make him laugh until his heart contempt.

Marinette: Okay? Anyway, I hope you'll be able to get your film produced, Harry. Thanks to you, he'll see you do your comedic job, and I'll get to sit next to Luka at my favorite comedy show! We'll have so much fun, and laugh together, I can even tell some jokes. Except I don't know any jokes. He'll never find me as funny as you!

Harry: Laughter is serious business, Marinette. But I'll help you.

Marinette: Aren't you supposed to prepare for your meeting with your producer?

Harry: Don't worry, my friend. Super-Fry always wins in the end. Honk! *Marinette laughs. *

Sabine: Marinette, Luka is here.

Marinette: There he is.

Harry: Remember, Marinette. You have nothing to worry about.

Marinette: Okay. *She walked up to him and pecked him on the cheek * Hey, ready?

Luka: Yeah, I guess.

Harry: Okay, let's go. *They all leave the house and go to the Grand Palais. At the Le Grand Paris Hotel, Lila typed on Chloe's laptop on the website they created. *

Chloe: So, what other embarrassing video did you catch?

Lila: I'm glad you asked. Take a look at this. *Chloe looked at the screen and played the video of Teresa, by her locker, popping her pimple. *

Chloe: Who is that?

Lila: This is Teresa, Tyler's older sister. I might've caught a glimpse of her by her locker messing with her pimple.

Chloe: A pimple? What for?

Lila: She's messing with a pimple. A zit.

Chloe: Gross. But perfect. I always tell her annoying wannabe track-star brother she has skin problems, but he doesn't believe me. Guess this is proof.

Lila: Wonder what her friends will say about this?

Chloe: Who cares? This is just hysterical and priceless. *Lila pressed the enter button and the video was uploaded onto the website and many comments and views were uploaded too. *

Lila: Hmm. Not a bad look.

Chloe: True. What else is there?

Lila: I got some more recent stuff I recorded. Take a look. *She handed Chloe her phone and looked at the other videos, she smirked and laughed at a few. *

Chloe: This is brilliant, utterly brilliant. Let's upload more.

Lila: (Taking her phone from Chloe and hooking up to the laptop) Okay.














Outside at the front of the Grand Palais, everyone is in line for Harry Clown. Adrien and Nino were in line, and they spotted Marinette, Luka, Marin, Bridgette, and Timmy.

Adrien: Marinette's here?

Nino: Huh? *He looked to the right and saw them. * Huh, it is her. Guess she loves Harry Clown too.

Bridgette: Let's stand in line. *She, Marin, Timmy, and Luka were walking, but Luka turned around and saw Marinette not moving. *

Luka: Marinette, are you coming?

Marinette: Later, okay?

Luka: Okay. *He kept walking to the line. Marinette looked at Harry with concern. *

Marinette: Are you sure I can do this?

Harry: We've rehearsed, and you're a natural, Marinette.

Marinette: Just hoping he'll have a bit of a sense of humor.

Harry: You won't be alone. I'll stay right here. Honk!

Marinette: What if he doesn't laugh?

Harry: He will. You just don't know if certain people have a sense of humor Do you picture him as the serious type?

Marinette: Not really. When I met him, he chuckled.

Harry: Ahh, okay. But of course, don't forget to always add the gimmick at the end. Honk! That's what gives rhythm to the sketch and lets the audience, I mean Luka, know that's time to laugh.

Marinette: Okay. (Hope it'll work). *She puts on a hat and walks over to Luka. * Hey, Lukey.

Luka: Oh, hey. What's with the hat and rubber nose?

Marinette: Oh, nothing. I have a joke for you.

Luka: Okay, what is it?

Marinette: Why should you never play poker at the zoo?

Luka: I don't know.

Marinette: Too many cheetahs. Ba-da-bum! *Luka grinned at that. * (That didn't work). Okay, how about this one? What do you call a nose with nobody?

Luka: I don't know, what do you call a nose with nobody?

Marinette: Nobody nose. Ba-da-bum! *Luka snickered. *

Luka: That was a good one.

Marinette: (He's smiling, it's working.)

Adrien: Marinette is funny.

Nino: She is. We could ask her what's up with the jokes.

Adrien: Okay.

Marinette: Here's one more. What do you call a loud guy?

Luka: I don't know, what?

Marinette: Mike. Ba-da-bum! *Luka chuckled; Marinette smiled at that. * (Now for one more trick.) Tickle attack! *She tickled him, and Luka laughed. *

Luka: That tickles, stop! *He keeps laughing, Adrien chuckles as he watches what is going on. Then, Harry's phone rings. *

Harry: Bob, hi!

Bob: You're supposed to be here!

Harry: Of course, I haven't forgotten. Just give me five minutes.

Bob: We have a rehearsal!

Harry: Yes, I understand, but—

Bob: Get here now!

Harry: Not even two minutes?

Bob: No! Get here now!

Harry: Fine. I'll be right there. Honk. *He went inside the building. Then, Marinette stopped tickling Luka. *

Luka: (Wiping a tear from his eyes) Okay, that's enough. Think I got all the laughs I needed.

Marinette: Aw, are you sure?

Luka: Yes. Thank you. For what you did.

Marinette: Huh. *She looks back to see that Harry Clown isn't by the pillar any more. * Hmm, where is he?

Luka: Where's who?

Marinette: Oh, no one. I got something else.

Luka: Is it another joke? I don't think I can...

Marinette: Just a little bit more, please?

Luka: Okay. But just one more.

Marinette: Okay. Here's one. If you were born in September, it's pretty safe to assume that your parents started their new year with a bang. *Luka didn't laugh. *

Luka: I don't get that one.

Marinette: Oh, how about this one? When does a joke become a dad joke?

Luka: I don't know.

Marinette: When it leaves you and never comes back. *Luka looked sad. *

Luka: Think that's enough.

Marinette: (Oh, no. He's sad. What do I do?) Okay, maybe that didn't work. How about this one? You're not completely useless. You can always be used as a bad example.

Luka: Marinette, stop. It's not funny. I'm not much of a comedy person, so I better get going, thanks for trying at least. *He kissed her on the forehead and walked out of line; Marinette watched him leave and she sighed. *

Marinette: That didn't work at all. I messed up.

Tikki: I'm sure it wasn't bad, Marinette. He's probably just going through something.

Marinette: It's not that, Tikki. Guess he hates comedy, and I thought I would give it to him, but... I can't do that. *She walked away, Adrien saw what happened and he felt bad for them both. Inside Grand Palais, in the dressing room. Bob and Harry talked with each other. *

Harry: And at the end, Super-Fry, Camembert Justice, and Wonder Potato get thanked by the little guy they just saved, and they all cry together.

Bob: (laughs) That's too funny!

Harry: No, it's not! It's touching! It's a serious superhero movie, Bob.

Bob: But you're a clown, Harry. No one wants you to make a drama. It will never bring us in as much money as your shows.

Harry: I'm not doing this for the money. When I was a kid, I dreamed of being a superhero.

Bob: (laughs) Well, write a comedy sketch about it!

Harry: No. I wanna speak to my public in a new way -- to help people dream, to help them feel more emotions than just laughter.

Bob: The only dreams I care about are the ones my piggy bank has about being filled with more money. Forget about your movie! It's a bad idea. *He then rips off Harry's drawing, which shocks Harry. * Your public is waiting for you! *He tosses up the ripped drawing and storms away. Harry picks up the ripped drawing and puts it in his pocket. He walks out of the dressing room. *











In Shadow Moth's Lair, the window opens, and the butterflies start to flutter.

Shadow Moth: A comedian that no one takes seriously. How funny... and yet so sad. Time to take center stage. *He opens his hand and turns a butterfly into a Megakuma. * Fly away, my Megakuma, and evilize him! *The Megakuma flies out of the Lair and into the city. Inside the Grand Palais, Harry walks off and sees Marinette crying. *

Harry: Oh! Marinette?

Marinette: It was a total disaster. Luka didn't laugh once. He must've thought I was so lame! Your meeting didn't go well either? *The lights switch off. *

Audience: Harry! Harry! Harry! Harry!

Stage manager: Harry, it's time!

Harry: (sadly) I'm sorry, Marinette. The show must go on. *When Harry walks away from Marinette, the audience keeps chanting "Harry!". The Akuma lands on Harry's belt bag. *

Shadow Moth: (from his lair) Psycomedian, I am Shadow Moth. They refuse to believe that you can create other emotions besides laughter. Well, you're going to show them that no one can play with their emotions better than you!

Harry: Trust me, my friend. I'll wipe the smiles off their faces. *He then transforms into Psycomedian. The audience laughs. *

Psycomedian: So, it's true. You'll never take me seriously. *Adrien rushes away. Psycomedian's face turns into angry mode and honks his nose at them as they begin to battle each other. *

Adrien: Talk about dark comedy. Plagg, claws out! *He transforms into Cat Noir. *

Bob: Forty years in the business and I've never seen this. A comedian who doesn't wanna do comedy! Can you believe that!

Psycomedian: Hey, Bob! Wanna laugh? I've got something for you! *Bob runs away from Psycomedian, Marinette stands up and sees what is going on. *

Marinette: (Unhappy) Okay! Tikki, spots on! *She transforms into Ladybug. *

Ladybug: I better get Uncanny and Eagle. *She called Uncanny on her yo-yo, but no answer. * Time to try something else. *Her hand glowed and she raised it in the air, which made a Ladybug symbol appear. * Hopefully they'll get the message. *At the Pont des Arts bridge, Jessica and Aeon were walking across the bridge, they were watching the view of the river. *

Jessica: This is one way to spend a Saturday.

Aeon: Yes. Hopefully it'll be all day. *But then, Jessica looked up and saw the Ladybug symbol. *

Jessica: Aeon, look. *Aeon turned to the left and she also spotted the Ladybug symbol in the sky. *

Aeon: It's Ladybug. We better help her. *Jessica opened her purse and let Liiri out. *

Jessica: Good idea. Let's go. Liiri, wings of Liberty! *She transforms into Eagle, Aeon presses on her bracelet, and she transforms into Uncanny Valley, they both run and fly up in the air. *
