Preface
Some mysteries are timeless—and nothing gets kids talking like a weird smell in the house. Tonight's Cards Against Humanity-inspired question is: "What's that smell?" Four generations, four hilarious takes, and a whole lot of ugly truth. Will they blame the dog, start an investigation, or just run for the hills? Let's sniff out the answers!
Show Introduction
[The set features giant noses, cartoon stink clouds, and a spinning wheel. Tiffany enters, fanning her nose with a comically large handkerchief.]
Tiffany Haddish:
"Welcome back to 'Kids Tell the Ugly Truth!' Tonight's CAH question is one we've all wondered: 'What's that smell?' We've got answers from toddlers to teens, and you know they'll keep it real. Will they go government, humanity, cartel, Karen/Kevin, or just bolt for the door? Let's find out!"
Tonight's CAH Question:
"What's that smell?"
Toddler (3-4 years old):
Answer: "My sock! I hid it in the couch."

Humanity (CAH): "Give everyone a hug so they don't feel bad about the smell."
Cartel (CAR): "Hide the other sock too so no one knows."
Karen/Kevin: "Blame it on the dog, even if we don't have one."
CAR Tell Me: "Run to my room and pretend I'm asleep."
Middle Kid (5-9 years old):
Answer: "My brother's science experiment. It's alive now."
Government (CAE): "Make a rule: No more science projects in the fridge."

Answer: "Last month's gym shoes. I forgot them under my bed."
Government (CAE): "Organize a family clean-up day."
Humanity (CAH): "Apologize and offer to wash everyone's shoes."
Cartel (CAR): "Spray half a can of air freshener and hope for the best."
Karen/Kevin: "Complain loudly about 'mystery smells' until someone else finds it."

Teenager (13-17 years old):
Answer: "Leftover takeout from last week. Oops."
Government (CAE): "Make a fridge cleaning schedule."
