Disney’s Awesome Things #10: ‘That Guy’ in Monster’s Inc. Laugh Floor
March 22, 2010 at 3:35 pm Matt 5 comments
#10 The Laugh Floor is a great attraction in that it thrives on guest interaction. If there were no guests, there would be no show – which makes it an interesting concept. Especially fun, is ‘that guy’.
In case you’re lame and need a brief refresher, “that guy” is a person in the audience chosen at random before the show starts – and once he is chosen, he’ll be picked on for the rest of the show.
Yes, it’s always fun to laugh at with the unlucky person picked for this embarrassing position – especially when he gets put on the screen with a title underneath saying he’s offering to buy everyone churros.
That Guy definitely is a funny and awesome part of your day at Disney. Unless, of course, it’s you!

I went to Disney World a couple years ago, and i remember i ended up sitting right next to that guy, and when the spotlight pointed on me and my girlfriend at the beginning, the line under us said “Feels the urge to get up and start dancing”

I took my two girls to Disney for the first time over Spring Break and I WAS That Guy! I was wearing one of those khaki floppy hats you get at Animal Kingdom with six pins on it. I had bought the hat just to give my girls the pins and ended up wearing it the whole trip. The comment about “rather being fishing” was great, but the last joke about me being on “a three-hour tour” was classic (a Gilligan’s Island reference for you youngsters)!

Great stories, both of you!
@ Stephan – LOL So I assume you both got up and danced, right? Plus you sat next to ‘that guy’ – quite an honor.
@ Doug – You were ‘that guy’? Awesome! I have never seen the “Would rather be fishing” and “three-hour tour” subtitles…maybe they are switching out jokes now! Very funny – and I’m a ‘youngster’, but I do know Gilligan’s Island.

I too, was “that guy” whe I went to the world last year. I suspect because i was wearing a very loud shirt. They were also teasing the kid in the back who was playing with his Nintendo DS during the show.

I was “THAT GUY” on the Monster’s Inc. Laugh Floor! Totally funny! I pretended to be really angry and threatened to ring the neck of the cartoon character on screen…. LOL! The crowd loved it and my boys thought it was cool that their dad was “THAT GUY”. Some kids later in the day said, “Hey, look… it’s that guy!”
