Planet Mirth

A group of aliens from the planet Mirth land on Earth with a mission to collect laughter. They believe that laughter is the key to universal peace and happiness. However, they find that humans are not as easily amused as they had hoped, leading to a series of comical misunderstandings and attempts to understand human humor.
