[ WP ] Sitcom characters become horrifically aware of ﻿the laugh track , limited amount of rooms , actors being replaced , and the universe continually resetting ﻿the show status quo regardless of their actions .

Jack Tripper stormed into the apartment with a large brown paper bag in hand. `` Ladies, have I got something special for you tonight! But, it's a surprise.'' 
 
 Jack's two roommates, Janet and Chrissy jumped up from the couch. 
 
 `` *Ooh*, what's a surprise, Jack?'' asked Janet in suspense. 
 
 Chrissy raised an eyebrow and stared at Janet. `` It's a good thing that happens that's not expected, Janet,'' she said, shaking her head and laughing. 
 
 Janet shot her roommate a frown. `` Chrissy, I meant what *is* the surprise.'' 
 
 `` Oh!'' Chrissy snorted and then gave Jack a disapproving look. `` Well, Jack, are n't you going to tell us?'' 
 
 Jack smiled. `` And break up all this cute bickering?'' 
 
 Janet punched Jack in the arm. 
 
 `` Ow!'' he yelled, dropping the shopping bag to the floor, resulting in a loud crash. `` Well that's just *great*, Janet. Here I am about make a special dinner for my two favorite roommates and you have to go ahead and hit me.'' Jack put on the saddest face he could make. 
 
 `` Oooohhh,'' the two others cried in unison. They both got next to him on either side and kissed him on the cheek. 
 
 `` *Whaaaaaaaat* is going *on* here!?'' yelled Mr. Furley from the open door. His eyes bulged as he witnessed the show of affection in front of him. Suddenly he titled his head. `` What is that?'' 
 
 The three roommates looked at Mr Furley, their landlord, in confusion. 
 
 `` Do you hear laughing?'' he asked. 
 
 After sharing a look with the girls, Jack answered, `` We do n't hear anything, Mr. Furley. Maybe you need to get your ears checked!'' 
 
 Mr. Furley jumped. `` There it is again!'' 
 
 Janet stepped over and patted her landlord on the shoulder. `` Are you feeling OK, Mr. Furley?'' she asked. `` Maybe you should come sit down on the couch.'' 
 
 The two walked over and gently dropped to the couch. Jack and Chrissy remained behind them, while Mr. Furley closed his eye and took a deep breath. 
 
 `` Feeling better?'' asked Chrissy. 
 
 `` Yes, Chrissy, thanks,'' he answered as he reopened his eyes. Suddenly he jumped backwards almost knocking the couch over. `` What in the blazes!?'' 
 
 `` What is it, now?'' Jack asked, supporting the couch from tipping backwards. 
 
 Mr. Furley stared straight ahead, passed the television. `` There's a whole bunch of people there instead of the wall! And they're all laughing!'' 
 
 Jack, Janet, and Chrissy looked at the far wall and shrugged. 
 
 `` Oh boy, my brother Bart is going to be furious!'' 
 
 `` Why's that, Mr. Furley?'' asked Jack. 
 
 `` Did you forget? He *owns* the building. He's probably going to make me pay to replace the missing wall!''
