Shayne's "my useless husband joke" followed by that joke going over Angela's head, to Shayne explaining it to her embarrassment, to Trevor not saying anything even when Angela begged him to so they could move on, to Shayne calling back the "I'm going to be thinking about that for awhile" thing, was the perfect sequence of events 😂

Fun fact: there's science showing that prolonged tickling causes such discomfort that it activates the same parts in our brain that experience pain, so that's likely why tickling is so uncomfortable for most of us
