    There actually was a laughter epidemic. It happened in 1962 at an all girls school in Tanganyika, Africa. Symptoms included lightheadedness, respiratory issues, fits of screaming and uncontrollable crying, rashes, restlessness and the urge to run around aimlessly, and even extreme flatulence. members at the school were affected. The laughter spread throughout the village to as many as 1,000 people, 14 schools were forced to close.

    Shane and Ryan talking about the dancing until you die plague has actually been setup for several years starting with early true crime.
    It started as Shane bringing it up as an anecdote during I THINK the true crime episode where that family in Australia ran off and went crazy. Ryan refused to believe him that it was a thing.
    Then over the next several years it bounced back and forth between Ryan and Shane casually bringing it up in different videos to describe mass hysteria. Shane saying it was because of moldy bread once or twice, Ryan not sure if it actually happened and blaming the not so great records back then. This whole time I waited for them to talk about it on unsolved even though it didn't really fit the mold
    And finally we have come to their new channel where Shane is the one talking about it and Ryan doesn't realize what's happening until like halfway through the episode.
