setup: How do you make an octopus laugh?

[Hastur, He Who Is Not to Be Named] annoyed, very yellow I told you this wouldn’t work

[Cthulhu, High Priest of the Great Old Ones] anxious, face worms moving, feather duster in hand. I saw Mr. Beast do this on YouTube. It totally will work.

(([Octopus] on table, slowly crawling off))

[Cthulhu, High Priest of the Great Old Ones] ((Cthulhu wiggles feather duster)) Tickle-tickely squiddy-poo!

[Hastur, He Who Is Not to Be Named] You just called him a squid. He’s not going to laugh if you insult him!

[Cthulhu, High Priest of the Great Old Ones] angry. ((Cthulhu slams feather duster on table)) Well, I don’t see you doing much of anything to help. What do you have?

[Hastur, He Who Is Not to Be Named] pulling out yellow joke book I have some knock-knock jokes?

[Cthulhu, High Priest of the Great Old Ones] resigned Knock-knock? Have we sunk that low, Hastur?

[Hastur, He Who Is Not to Be Named] Don’t call me that. I just got here. Here let me try this one. It’s good.

((Cthulhu sighs))

[Hastur, He Who Is Not to Be Named] reading from yellow joke book Knock-knock!

(([Octopus] on table, slowly crawling off))

[Hastur, He Who Is Not to Be Named] whispering to [Cthulhu, High Priest of the Great Old Ones] Do his part! He can’t talk!

[Cthulhu, High Priest of the Great Old Ones] Who’s there?

[Hastur, He Who Is Not to Be Named] Dishes!

[Cthulhu, High Priest of the Great Old Ones] Dishes who?

[Hastur, He Who Is Not to Be Named] Dishes THE POLICE! EVERYBODY FREEZE! HAHAHAHAHAHA!

(([Cthulhu, High Priest of the Great Old Ones] stares)) (([Octopus] on table, slowly crawling off))

[Hastur, He Who Is Not to Be Named] Damn, I was sure that would do it…

punchline: With ten-tickles.
