Kids Tell the Ugly Truth

Chapter Eight: "What's That Smell?"

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."

Government (CAE): "Tell Mommy I lost my sock and need help."

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."

Humanity (CAH): "Ask if anyone needs help cleaning up."

Cartel (CAR): "Throw it in the neighbor's trash."

Karen/Kevin: "Announce, 'This house smells weird!' at dinner."

CAR Tell Me: "Hold my nose and dash outside for fresh air."

Preteen (10-12 years old):

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."

CAR Tell Me: "Sneak shoes into the washing machine and act innocent."

Teenager (13-17 years old):

Answer: "Leftover takeout from last week. Oops."

Government (CAE): "Make a fridge cleaning schedule."

Humanity (CAH): "Offer to take out the trash (once)."

Cartel (CAR): "Blame it on the little siblings and disappear."

Karen/Kevin: "Post on social media: 'Send help, my house smells like a dumpster.'"

CAR Tell Me: "Open all the windows and pretend it's not my problem."

Wildcard Round

Tiffany:

"What's the weirdest thing you've ever smelled?"

Toddler:

"My teddy bear after bath time."

Middle Kid:

"Dad's gym bag. It smells like old cheese."

Preteen:

"A mystery sandwich in my locker. I think it moved."

Tiffany's Take

Tiffany:

"Y'all, if you ever need a detective for weird smells, just call a kid! Whether you're blaming the dog, hiding the evidence, or posting a cry for help online, the ugly truth is—every house has a mystery smell. Just hope it's not coming from your shoes!"
