If you're one of the more than 2.3 million subscribers to the Joe Scott YouTube channel, Answers With Joe, that's good. You're in the nerd fam. If not, you should be. You should go subscribe — (like, immediately, because you're missing out), then, come back and finish reading this.
Anyway, if you're one of the cool ones who have tuned in, you know Joe's not a scientist — seriously, he'll tell you that and shout it from the rooftops while holding a model Space Shuttle. But he is a self-declared "science enthusiast" who shares everything from micro-dosing psychedelics (no, he didn't get arrested for this one) to making quantum mechanics almost make sense — and also somehow hilarious.
Joe has an uncanny knack for making science, space, and technology ridiculously entertaining — and he's bringing that same vibe to his new merch store: Laugh Smarter.
As the official home for Answers with Joe merchandise — Laugh Smarter is shamelessly inspired by Joe's biggest hits and best inside jokes.
Spoiler alert: This is not your basic YouTube merch — no giant logo tees, no sad copy-and-paste graphics, no coffee mugs with Joe's face plastered on them. Laugh Smarter is smarter than that. (Look, it's right there in the name.)
What You Can Expect with Laugh Smarter
Now that you know what Laugh Smarter is not (no basic, boring merch shop vibes here), let's get into more about what you can expect from this Joe Scott merchandise store.
Laugh Smarter is the ultimate purveyor of weird, witty genius where science nerds, deep thinkers, and casually chaotic gremlins can snatch up high-quality merch that feels exactly like Joe's channel: smart, strange, hilarious, and occasionally a little too existential.
Not everyone will get it, and that's okay.
Laugh Smarter drops new collections every month. And when you rep Laugh Smarter, you're joining a bigger movement that you can out-fact and out-snark anyone on trivia night — cue the FOMO — even if you don't know all the answers. (Because, let's be real, even Joe doesn't know all the answers. Maybe just half of them.)
How the Laugh Smarter Shop Works
Every other month, we will drop new merchandise to the Laugh Smarter website, which will be available for six weeks.
-
These limited-time-only items could include T-shirts, mugs, stickers, and more — because you deserve to be comfy and look cool while pondering the mysteries of the universe.
-
Disclaimer: The items truly stick around for six weeks only, so buy them before they're gone forever.
-
There will be two weeks between when a merch drop ends and the next one begins.
And remember: This isn't one of those "limited edition" gimmicks where Laugh Smarter secretly prints more merch later. When the clock strikes midnight at the end of each drop, the merch is gone for good. No restocks. No second chances.
The First Drop is a Real Banger — But Only Through May 13
In case you're new here, the Tritium Tour merch drop is already out in the cosmos. It's a radioactive nod to Joe's long-running gag about turning actual scientific terms and concepts into metal band names.
And, yes, the Tritium Tour shirt, sticker, and mug come correct with melting skulls, radiation symbols, and pure nuclear mayhem — but they're only available until May 13.
After that, The Tritium Tour collection disappears faster than a particle in a quantum vacuum and you'll be left shirtless, mug-less, and vulnerable, lacking Tritium-infused protection against the forces of ignorance. Don't let that happen to you.
How to Be Smart About Laugh Smarter (Because Missing a Drop Would Be Tragic)
