calls him teddy

he's never been the most normal kid but
i like him anyway
his favorite hobby
making sun brewed iced tea
his favorite sport
speed walking
and when he laughs and drinks
beautiful things happen
i thought i knew everything about teddy
but that was before his parents went
away for a week and i uttered the eight
words that changed our friendship
forever
why don't you stay with me at my house
really you mean it sure that's what
friends are for we'll have a blast
excellent

brain but i soon warmed up to the idea
of bonding with my new roommate

sleep in the backyard while teddy slept
in his bed you okay son you need
anything
nope
everything i need is out here
everything wow
it'll be our little secret
now i'm not really sure what happened
next
it could have been the pollen count
or maybe he stared too long at all those
stars
but by the next morning
my brother p
had become brother nature
hey pete

i mark your cheese danish and all it
stands for i'm living off the land now
the air is so fresh here it's

what wait did i say yes before you asked
me out
i mean you did ask me didn't you yeah
and you said yes
with teddy's help i had a date
i guess i was glad he was there for me
but the problem was over the next few
days teddy was everywhere
[Music]
this deodorant is amazing
it's like
having a pine forest in your armpit
smell it go ahead i'll pass but thanks
well don't thank me until you try it
it's super absorbent for those super
close moments
what are you doing
i'm personalizing your underpants this
way we'll know who's or who's it's a
crucial move when you both wear the same
brand
what you didn't know that
hello uh hey diane
hi it's pete
so uh what are you doing
hi
uh
i guess
nothing
what are you doing me just taking a bath
the water here is so excellent day
[Music]
deep in the forest i was finally free
alone
at peace
oh
it's you
i was hoping it was a squirrel
starving
sorry
pete
am i not a nice guy
is it bad to be angry at a friend
not if you really hate him
i don't hate teddy
he's my pal i think
but he's driving me crazy
i'll tell you one thing i'm going on a
date with diane and teddy's gonna be
nowhere near us you hear me
nowhere near us
i'll be out to jiffy pal okie dokie big
red
and so began
operation ditch teddy
[Music]
i had to cover all my tracks
so i used every trick i learned from
watching late night spy movies
[Music]
hey pete where have you been
yeah where have you been um i was uh
showering
cool sweater
we ordered the pizza and they gave us
pepperoni
there's as much saturated fat in one
slice of pepperoni as there isn't a two
pound cheese log
what you guys didn't know that
i think i'll leave you two alone
diane
wait
please
[Applause]
she's so moody
the pepperoni wasn't the only thing that
needed removing
teddy was a scab on my life
and i was gonna
pick him off
once upon a time i shared a bedroom with
my brother and teddy forsman was just
this kid i knew
now
pete had turned into a hunter gatherer
stalking wild game for his supper
[Music]
as for teddy forsman well he had glommed
onto my life like a bad case of fungus
and the only way to get the fungus off
was to give it to someone else
the logical choice
dad teddy the carburetor is the heart of
the engine and today you and i are heart
surgeons now the first thing i'm going
to show you how to do disconnect the
tubular coil i already did
oh yes
you did didn't you
oh well then
let's move on to the water valve you
mean oil valve
water oil
water
and i'll prove it to you
see
a pinging noise usually means alternator
trouble if it's more of a recur recur
sound i'd say camshaft if it's more of a
freak break sound i'd say the fan belt
well you didn't know that
i'll tell you what why don't you just
stand right there and tell me what the
problem is i'm all ears
[Applause]
[Music]
it's definitely the fan belt
once planned dad tanked i quickly
switched to plan mom
i figured it was foolproof
and it was
for a while it's like i always say
can't spell gladiola
felt glad
unfortunately teddy was so grateful for
the gardening tips that he wrote mom a
10 page thank you note
and he left it in the one place he knew
she'd find it
attached to the metal plate in her head
[Music]
but the giant magnet ended up
magnetizing her metal plate
finally that left my brother pete
who needed all the help he could get
catching dinner
for centuries tribal hunters have been
using this method to catch squirrels
it's perfect
primitive yet effective
in a word
excellency
i'm gonna do this my way
[Music]
it's called a hole
what you didn't know that
by then there was one thing everybody
knew
we had to get theodore l forsman out of
our lives
[Music]
sorry fruit cup
[Music]
pete
fyi the iroquois tribe of central new
york ate their corn vertically too
they also called their corn maze
probably because it tasted amazing
[Music]

to floss i'll tell some more jokes when
i get back
