Laff

A Toon's laff meter with 80 laff points

Laff is the health of Toons. The laff meter resembles your character's head and is shown at the bottom left corner of your screen. Toons start with 15 laff; the current maximum a Toon can have is 137. When a Toon hits zero laff, the Toon goes sad and is sent back to the playground they were last in. If the Toon goes sad in a street battle, the Cog that the Toon was battling is seen jumping around, teasing the Toon in a childish manner. After going sad, all the Toon's gags are taken away by the Cogs. While sad, a Toon's laff meter is a sickly lime green, and the Toon cannot exit the playground, board the Trolley, go fishing, board a golf cart, nor go to his or her friends.

In playgrounds and your estate, your laff will refill over time. If you have at least one laff point, you can collect treasures to refill lost laff points. You can collect ice cream cones in Toontown Central, starfish in Donald's Dock, daisies in Daisy Gardens, music notes in Minnie's Melodyland, snowflakes in The Brrrgh, ZZZs in Donald's Dreamland, acorns in Chip 'n Dale's Acorn Acres, and popsicles at an estate to restore laff points.

Trivia

• Laff is a pun on "laugh" and life.
• According to the phase files, laff can go up to 145. However, it is unknown why 137 became the maximum laff in Toontown Online.
  • With Toontown Rewritten having a brand new playground in the future, it is believed that the ToonTasks involved with the playground or newer Minigames may allow Toons to go up to 145 laff.
• The laff meter in Toontown Rewritten was invented by Doctor Surlee.
• During the Beta stage of Toontown Rewritten, there was a bug where Toons could go inside Toon Buildings while being sad, making teleportation work as normal.
• Purposely making other Toons go sad in battle by either abandoning them, or letting the Cogs make them go sad, is known as "Greening". Greening Toons can result in receiving a punishment on your account.
• It is unknown if the Portable Hole Network bypasses worked if a sad Toon triggered them.
• in the final phase of all boss battles, a Toon's laff meter is displayed above their head while they have at least 1 laff point is missing. This feature made its first appearance during Doomsday from the Alpha stage of Toontown Rewritten.
• There is a glitch where Toons start with 16 laff, but then reset to 15 laff upon restarting the game.
• If the Cogs win the Chief Justice battle, the Toons will go sad but not lose their gags.

Yes, TTR has a full storyline to explain everything- even why people have to start over at 15 laff points. You'll see parts of it as development continues, but it is a pretty deep story that won't be fully revealed for a while. While the game is still going to be targeted at children, I want to add deeper aspects than "cogs are bad."
