Minor edits.


* TheThingThatWouldNotLeave: The entire MIFT team tends to be rather exuberant to the point of clinginess about Tylor being a member of MIFT, particularly Fritz. It’s implied when Banana Bread/Winchester got promoted to Jokester status and left MIFT at the end of the episode that this is because a lot of people have walked out on MIFT for bigger things and it breaks Fritz’ heart to see any member of his makeshift family leave.

!!Tropes:
* AmazinglyEmbarassingParents: Millie, as shown in the ColdOpening.
* BunnyEarsLawyer: Tylor sees firsthand how much [=MIFT=] takes their job seriously when they try to help Mike out of a malfunctioning door.
* SurprisinglyRealisticOutcome: Because the position of 'Jokester' is so new and the field of laugh energy not yet fully integrated into the common monster's mindset, there is a dearth of available jokesters who can go out and reliably bring in laughter from kids, resulting in those who can getting overworked from the demands of powering the city near single-handily, even if laugh energy is much more powerful than scream energy. Mike spends much of episode 2 nearly falling asleep on his feet and burning through a 36 and 1/2 energy drink in just 2 hours, and the company is still getting hit with power shortages despite bringing in laughs on a regular basis because there just isn't enough Jokesters around yet to cover the energy demand.
* {{Workaholic}}: Mike has been producing laugh energy non-stop for 18 hours. While it's understandable since there are constant power outages, it begins to take its toll on him.
