[laughing]

Whoo-hoo!

[engine chugging slows]

We all enjoy

having a laugh now and again,

but one day on Sodor,

Gordon was not happy

to be laughing at all.

[whistle toots]

All aboard for a big adventure!

"Gordon Gets the Giggles."

[rumbling]

[coughing]

Oh, the indignity.

[whistle toots]

Morning, Gordon!

Whoops!

-[grunts]

-[clanking]

-[splat]

-Ahh...

Oh, oh, oh...

-[splat]

-Oops...

Ahh, that's sticky.

[shudders]

Silly me.

I didn't see them there.

I need to look where I'm going.

[whistle toots]

-Watch out, Rebecca!

-Whoa-oh-oh!

Whoopsie! Oh.

What a... [indistinct]

I'll be out of the way soon,

Thomas! Oh!

[crashing]

-Oh, dear.

-[chuckling]

Rebecca,

you look hilarious!

[chuckles]

People do say vegetables

are good for you.

-Salad anyone?

-[both laughing]

[hearty laughter]

[gasps]

Are you okay, Gordon?

Yes, yes.

Of course I am.

[coughing]

[honking]

But you're making

a very strange noise!

It was my funnel!

There's something wrong with it!

[holding in laughter]

Oh, dear.

I wonder what's wrong

with Gordon's funnel.

[coughing]

[laughter]

Oh, dear.

What is happening to me?

Rebecca covered with vegetables

wasn't even that funny!

But now...

[hearty laughter]

Oh-ho-ho-ho.

I can't behave like this.

I'm not a silly little engine.

I'm pulling the express.

[grumbles]

[gasps]

Pull yourself together, big G.

[gasps]

Gordon?

-Think serious thoughts.

Think serious thoughts.

-[whistle toots]

Are you okay, Gordon?

Yes, of course I am.

[cracking up]

Absolutely... absolutely

nothing funny to see here.

Okay...

But why have you stopped here

in the middle of the track?

I, um...

[clears throat]

thought there was a problem

with my boiler.

But it's fine it's just...

[wheezing] fine.

Okay, Gordon.

As long as you're sure

your boiler is all right.

[Gordon grunts]

Yes, I'm sure!

[hearty laughter]

[stifling laughter]

Maybe there is a problem

with your boiler, Gordon.

You should get it checked.

Yes, okay, Thomas.

[whistle toots]

Bye!

[whistles tooting]

[hearty laughter]

Ohh, what am I going to do?

I'm a serious engine

with a serious job.

If Sir Topham Hatt

sees me like this

he'll take the express away,

and give me a silly job!

No, no. I just have to be

extra serious!

[whistle toots]

[giggles]

Hi again.

Sorry about earlier.

Honestly,

sometimes I don't know

whether I'm coming or going.

[giggles]

[holding in laughter]

Gordon,

whatever's the matter?

Just my funnel!

Gotta go!

-[whistle toots]

-Gordon?

[gasps] Was that Gordon?

I don't believe it!

He could have caused

an accident!

Oh, uh, Gordon did tell me

there was something wrong

with his funnel, sir.

And his boiler.

[hearty laughter]

Oh, I can't stop!

[laughing]

It's a disaster.

This is it.

My express pulling days

are over.

They'll think

I'm a silly engine.

I'm afraid it'll only be

silly jobs for you from now on.

-[honking]

-[whistle blows]

[carnival music]

Yay!

Here comes Gordon!

The really silly engine!

[laughing]

[honking]

[both laughing]

-Yay!

-Hooray!

[cheering]

-Gordon!

-You're so silly!

[Paxton]

Gordon?Gordon?

What are you doing

hiding here?

I have

a very serious problem, Paxton.

Oh, then you should go

and get some help.

Everybody needs help sometimes.

I'm always needing help.

[laughing]

[gasps]

I'm so sorry,

it's not you.

It's just, um,

bumped my whistle.

[whistle toots]

Okay!

[Thomas]

So Gordon went to gethelp at the steam works.

Victor! Victor!

You have to help me!

Whatever is the matter,

my friend?

I seem to have a terrible

case of... of the giggles!

You have to make it stop.

[laughing]

Ohh...

-[giggles]

-It's not funny, Kevin.

I'm Gordon!

I can't be giggling

all over Sodor.

[laughs]

Oh, Gordon.

You haven't got a problem.

You're absolutely fine.

Have you managed to fix

Gordon's boiler, funnel,

and whistle already?

[Gordon laughing]

[gasps]

Oh-ho-ho.

The indignity.

I'm so sorry, sir.

Those things aren't my problem.

My problem is that I...

I just can't stop laughing.

I'm too silly.

I don't deserve

to pull the express.

Of course you deserve

to pull the express!

Even if you are

being a bit silly today.

[chuckles]

Oh, there's nothing wrong

with laughing, Gordon.

-[chuckles]

-Oh.

Well, having a good giggle

does feel quite nice, sir!

[laughing]

-[all laughing]

-Oh, Gordon.

[man]

Uh, excuse me!

Any chance we could go home now?

Oh, right.

Sorry.

[chuckles]

[whistle toots]

It's important to work hard

and to be really useful.

But you can have fun

at the same time.

Marion loves to enjoyher favorite game,Guess What's In My Shovel!

[chuckles]

But it doesn't stop herdoing her favorite job.And her favorite jobis digging!

[chuckles]

At first, Gordon was worriedthat getting the giggleswould stop him being ableto pull the express.

[no audio]

But he learned he coulddo his joband have a laughat the same time.

Sometimes it's hard

to stop laughing.

But when you're happy,

it can help everyone around you

-feel happy, too.

-[whistle blowing]

Come on, Thomas!

It's time to go.

See ya next time!
