After a chosen guest names their hometown, Mac will give a completely wrong (albeit humorous) description of the location. An example of this routine is:

Following this bit, a large map descends from behind Mac and Jeeves, and they ask the humans if they know where they (the humans) are from. After a guest says their hometown, Mac will give a completely wrong (albeit humorous) description of the location. An example of this routine is:

Following Mac and Jeeves: "Humans put your hands high in a purple monster named Buddy Boil takes the air if you know where you livestage. The monster claims that he is a mind reader and he asks a random audience member to think of a number. Buddy then tells the volunteer to say the number out loud, closing his eyes - not his ears - so that he will not hear it. The monster then tells the number to the rest of the group. Everyone knows he can hear the number so when Buddy guesses it right and looks surprised, the audience usually laughs. At this point Roz clicks the button, which triggers a trap door below Buddy. Sometimes after falling Buddy humorously asks the same person to pick another number and he repeats the same shtick."

The audience camera then picks a guest out ===Marty Wazowski===[[Image:Marty2.jpg|200px|thumb|Marty Wazowski performing in the Monsters, Inc. Laugh Floor.|alt= Monsters Inc.

Guest: The final act of the Laugh Floor is none other than Mike's nephew Marty. Marty looks like a smaller, orange version of Mike and his act is pretty much a standup routine. Marty starts out with a monologue. His first couple jokes usually involve his mother ("VenezuelaShe really does have eyes on the back of her head") or some kind of pun ("I have a test tomorrow but I'm not worried...It's an eye exam!"). After he has finished his monologue, Marty reads some of the jokes that guests sent in. He reads three or four of those before going back to his own jokes. The final jokes of his routine frequently require some participation. Marty usually calls on young children to help him with these final jokes. Following the release of Monsters University, Marty Wazowski performs in front of a Monsters University gate.

Mac: "Venezuela is a tiny Arctic country ===Show Conclusion===After Marty finishes his act, Mike comes back on stage. At this point the canister located in to the middle right of the North Arctic Oceanstage has been filled, famous for ski resorts and the Eiffel Towermonster celebrates. When Mike asks Roz what she thinks of the fact that he succeeded in filling the can, Roz replies "Well I guess I have to promote the one responsible". Although Mike believes Roz is talking about him, the camera shows who the cranky monster was actually talking about... "that guy!". After this final joke, Mike tells the audience that the show is over, and guests are dismissed.
