 After repeating this routine with a couple of guests, Mac and Jeeves then decide to recreate the story of Monsters, Inc. using guests from the audience. Different audience members are selected to portray characters from the movie, and they are given silly facial expressions to make. After all of the characters have been selected, Mac and Jeeves retell the story very quickly. In order to keep up with the duo, the selected guests have to make the expressions fast. Finally Roz pushes the trap door button again, abruptly ending the duo’s routine and setting the stage the second act.

-According to the short film, the attraction takes place after the events in Monsters, Inc. and Monstropolis is now running on clean and safe "laugh power" instead of fear. The new energy works well, but there is currently not enough laughter to fuel Monstropolis. To solve this problem, Mike Wazowski suggests that they open a Laugh Club. In order to get to the club, humans are temporarily transported to Monstropolis via special doors in Tomorrowland. In short, the residents of Monstropolis are counting on the laughter from the club to fuel their city. After the video is shown, guests watch a commercial for Monsters University before they are ushered inside the Laugh Club to their seats.

 While guests are waiting in line for the attraction they have the opportunity to submit jokes for the monsters to use in the show. A handful of these submitted jokes are usually chosen.
 ===Main Show===
-As guests enter the main theater, some individuals are highlighted by the attraction’s cameras and given humorous captions (i.e. "Will buy everyone a Churro"). After everyone has been seated, Roz (from the movie Monsters, Inc.) appears on the theater’s left screen and explains to the audience how laugh power works.

 '''(AUTHORS NOTE: Due to the spontaneous nature of the Monsters, Inc. Laugh Floor the following section is a description of a possible routine that Mac and Jeeves could perform.)'''
-The first act in the Monsters, Inc. Laugh Floor is a two headed yellow monster named Mac and Jeeves (though the monster can go by other names depending on the cast member performing). Mac, the smaller of the two heads, boasts that he is a master of human world geography and that he knows every capital in the world. Jeeves is skeptical, so to prove his knowledge Mac selects a human audience member to name any country. After they do, Mac's answer is usually a humorous side-step of the question, such as saying the capital of Canada is "C". Following this bit, a large map descends from behind Mac and Jeeves, and they ask the audience to raise their hands if "you know where you live".  After a chosen guest names their hometown, Mac will give a completely wrong (albeit humorous) description of the location.

 Monsters, Inc. Laugh Floor is an attraction in [[Tomorrowland]].
 ==Attraction History==
-The Monsters, Inc. Laugh Floor was constructed as a replacement for the Circle-Vision 360 film "The Timekeeper". The show was created to showcase "digital puppetry" a new technology that Disney helped develop as a part of its "Living Character Initiative". By using this new technology, Disney was able to create a show that allowed for the Monsters on the screen to interact with the audience (a technique that had previously been used in [[Turtle talk with Crush]] at [[Epcot]]). <ref> https://books.google.com/books?id=WK7T50f8i-oC&pg=PA73&lpg=PA73&dq=Monsters+Inc.+Laugh+Floor+Digital+Puppetry&source=bl&ots=_cweIf1-VM&sig=xEzW37MTrdikMdMg8Y4JBLe3rNg&hl=en&sa=X&ved=0CC4Q6AEwA2oVChMI__TlwYCgyAIViXA-Ch3eGAGb#v=onepage&q=Monsters%20Inc.%20Laugh%20Floor%20Digital%20Puppetry&f=false </ref>

-Following Disney’s announcement of the new Monsters, Inc. attraction in 2006, the former Timekeeper theater was repurposed for the new show.  While much of the theater was redone, remnants of the Timekeeper can still be found. In the waiting area guests can still see the bubbling tubes that were once located in the Timekeeper’s preshow area. Likewise, in the main theater, the 9 screens used in the former show are still there (albeit now covered). <ref> http://www.mouseplanet.com/10505/Remembering_the_Magic_Monsters_Inc_Laugh_Floor </ref>

-During the development of the Monsters, Inc. Laugh Floor the attraction was known as the “Laugh Floor Comedy Club”. This name was changed to “Monsters, Inc. Laugh Floor Comedy Club” before the attraction ever opened to guests. Finally, two weeks prior to the attraction’s opening the show was given its current name <ref> http://www.wdwmagic.com/attractions/monsters-inc-laugh-floor-comedy-club/news/20mar2007-monsters-inc-laugh-floor-comedy-club-name-change.htm </ref> Due to the brief window between the time that the attraction was renamed and the time that it opened, there was a significant amount of merchandise created with the “Monsters, Inc. Laugh Floor Comedy Club” name. The Monsters, Inc. Laugh Floor opened to guests on April 2, 2007. Since the attraction opened, the only major change to the show has been the addition of Monsters University references following the movie’s release in June 2013 <ref> http://www.insidethemagic.net/2013/04/walt-disney-world-celebrating-monsters-university-movie-release-with-theme-park-enhancements/ </ref>.
