Learn exactly how challenging it is to elicit a genuine laugh from Drew Gooden, as the cast attempts bizarre and escalating antics while he sits stone-faced on the stool.

Short Summary

  • The cast immediately identifies the challenge as "Hard Mode" because Drew claims he is not an easy laugher, requiring serious effort.
  • The session features rapid-fire skits involving inappropriate product samples, surreal character introductions (Ostrich Magician), and unexpected calls to action referencing Orlando.
  • Viewers witness the progression of comedic desperation as standard jokes fail, forcing performers into wilder, improvised scenarios.

Drew's dry sense of humor and deadpan delivery are so suited for this. We're barely in and he's already perfect.

I love how uncertain Drew sounds in some of his bits, as if he truly is just some guy who arrived and has no idea what's going on, but is just extremely calm about it
