Patton: Heya Kiddos! It's your good old fun loving father figure back with another Joke Wars challenge!

[Patton sits in a chair in the center of the screen, grinning]

Patton: You guys know that Joke Wars videos are one of my favorite things to do, because I get to tell as many jokes as I can think of, as well as learn new ones from my friends I'm competing against. 

[Several photos displayed onscreen: screenshots from Patton's previous Joke Wars videos]

Patton: Today I think it's going to be especially fun because my guest is a notoriously serious and straight-laced person.

Logan, offscreen: The way you say that makes it sound as if it's bad.

Patton: No no no, that's not how I meant it at all!

[Patton reaches off screen, pulling Logan into frame]

Patton: Logan's here today!

[Cheering sound effects and confetti onscreen]

Patton: I just think it's gonna be really fun having you here because you rarely make jokes around the apartment! I want to see what your style of humor is.

[Patton grins at Logan, who shrugs]

Logan: I simply find that what I find amusing generally does not match up with what others find amusing, so I keep the occasional outburst to myself.

Patton: Well it's time to stop that, because this channel is all jokes all the time- sorry!

[Patton throws his hands in the air, nearly knocking Logan in the face with his elbow. He gasps and pulls his arms in quickly, giggling]

Logan: I suppose we will see what others think of my jokes today. Though I know you are quite adept at puns, whereas I am... not.

[Logan adjusts his glasses]

Patton: Yay! Okay so how this works is, we'll flip a coin to see who goes first. We go back and forth telling jokes, and every time one of us laughs the other one gets a point.

[Little scorecards pop up in the corners of the screen]

Logan: Are we counting laughter at our own jokes?

Patton: Well- actually, that's a good question.

[Patton stops, staring off at nothing while he thinks. Logan raises his eyebrows]

Patton: No, let's just count laughing at each other. Ame can keep track of you and Roman can keep track of me. Say hi guys!

[Patton gestures offscreen]

Roman, offscreen: Hello to you all, Ladies, Lords, and Non-Binary Royalty!

Ame, offscreen: 'Sup.
