Hey there! Have you ever heard of the Ear Wax Elf? No? Well, let me tell you a funny story about it! One day, a group of friends was talking about a magical elf who visits when you put ear wax under your pillow. Sounds silly, right?
It all started when one friend used another friend’s toothbrush to clean his ears! Yuck! He found a big piece of ear wax and thought it was a piece of his brain! But no worries, it was just ear wax. This gave him an idea!
He told his friends about the Ear Wax Elf, who supposedly leaves presents if you put ear wax under your pillow. Some friends didn’t believe him, but he was sure it was true because he once got presents on his birthday after doing it!
That night, he put the ear wax under his pillow, hoping for gifts. But when he woke up, there were no presents! Oh no! What could have gone wrong? Maybe someone was naughty, and the elf didn’t visit!
Determined to make things right, the friends decided to be extra helpful and nice. They thought if they were good, the Ear Wax Elf might come back. They helped each other and even sang funny songs to cheer up!
Guess what? The next night, the Ear Wax Elf came! He left some funny gifts like cotton tips and a potato masher. The friends were so happy and realized that being kind and helpful is always a good idea!
This story teaches us that being nice and helping others can bring good things our way. Even though the Ear Wax Elf is just a fun story, it reminds us to be kind and take care of each other.
Did you know that ear wax helps protect our ears from dust and germs? It’s important to keep our ears clean, but remember, never use a toothbrush! Ask an adult for help if you need to clean your ears.
So, next time you hear a funny story like this, remember to laugh and learn something new!

Create Your Own Elf Story: Imagine there’s another magical elf that visits when you do something kind. Draw a picture of your elf and write a short story about what kind things you would do to make the elf visit. Share your story with a friend or family member and ask them what kind things they would do!
Kindness Jar Activity: Find a jar and some small pieces of paper. Every time you do something kind for someone, write it down on a piece of paper and put it in the jar. At the end of the week, count how many kind things you did. Talk with your family about how being kind made you feel and how it made others feel too.
Ear Safety Exploration: With the help of an adult, learn about safe ways to keep your ears clean. You can use a flashlight to look at each other’s ears (without touching!) and talk about why it’s important to keep them clean. Discuss why using a toothbrush is not a good idea and what tools are safe to use.
Here’s a sanitized version of the provided YouTube transcript:
—
[Music] Look at this almost naked animal! Your pets won’t be missed. Come join the crew; they’ve always got room for you.
[Music] Wait, wow guys, you have to see this! What am I supposed to be looking at? I finished brushing my teeth, and since my brush still had some toothpaste left on it, I figured I’d clean my ears.
You cleaned your ears with a toothbrush? Yep! Anyway, I’m scrubbing away in my right ear with your toothbrush. I would never use my own toothbrush in my ear! You used mine again, didn’t you? Yeah, and I dug out this…
You pulled out a piece of your own brain? What if it was an important piece? Highly doubtful! Nope, I recognize that taste—it’s ear wax!
This is what you wanted us to see? Must have been growing in there for ages, getting bigger and bigger, waxier and waxier, grosser and grosser. Do you know what this means? You have mega hygiene issues! I need to start hiding my toothbrush.
Yes, and yes! But now what it means is this: the ear wax off is coming! The ear wax elf! I hope I can sleep with this big waxy ball under my pillow.
The ear wax elf? Betty’s never seen ear wax like this before—icky and sticky! Who do we have? A fistful of wax for the ear wax elf!
Wait, the ear wax elf? Come on! The elf knows if you’ve been good or bad, and if your chunk of wax is big enough, he’ll reward you for it.
No, that doesn’t ring a bell. Seriously, you guys have never heard of the ear wax elf? No! And do you want to know why? Because there’s no such thing!
There is so, and I can prove it! Years ago, I found a piece of ear wax and put it under my pillow.
Wait, why? Well, where else was I supposed to put it? Sorry, continue. The next morning when I woke up, I was surrounded by presents! I even remember the date—March Ember 43rd.
Wait a minute, isn’t that your birthday? Made it even sweeter! Okay, so you think if you put that big blob of disgusting ear gunk under your pillow tonight, you’ll get presents?
With a chunk of wax like this, I’m sure they’re going to be big ones! Okay, good luck with that. Do you really think he’s going to come?
Oh, I know he’s going to come! Tell you what, whatever the ear wax elf brings me, I’ll share with you. Really? 50/50? More like 90/30, and I got dibs on the best stuff!
Good night, buddy. Night!
Who said that? You? Uh, that was me. Oh right, sorry, a little excited here. Night night!
Who said that? The ear wax elf? You’re still me?
Hey, the ear wax elf isn’t scary looking or dangerous, is he? I don’t know; I’ve never seen him. No one has except…
Duck! Hi, ear wax elf! A pleasure to make your acquaintance!
Lucky duck! Oh, so young and sleepy, not like me. I’m the kind of guy who can stay up all night!
He didn’t come, bunny! No elf, no presents, sheets ruined!
There can only be one reason why he didn’t come last night. Maybe he was…
Fine, two reasons: one, that two, because someone did something naughty and the ear wax elf put the banana cabana on his do-not-visit list!
But who? If you ask me, I think it’s Narwhal’s fault!
My fault? But I’m a star loved by millions!
Thousands, hundreds… do I hear…
Um, she did it!
What? I couldn’t have done it! I’m way too slow, completely speed impaired!
Nail like… um, I was going to say cute!
What about… oo, he looks guilty!
Me? What? No!
Maybe it was Piggy!
Piggy? No fault! Fuzzy big too!
Fine, I’ll take all the responsibility for the ear wax elf not showing up with a load of presents! Can we let it go now?
Cool your jets and decompress, hep cats! We didn’t get to hear how he said it wasn’t his fault!
Time to sing!
I don’t have to say it wasn’t my fault because it wasn’t my fault! It wasn’t like I tried to stunt yesterday!
They went really wrong, and I went flying through the lobby completely out of control!
Wait, how? This is all your…
It was me! I’m why the ear wax elf didn’t come last night!
So what are you going to do?
The only thing I can do: I have to undo the bad that made the elf mad, then the ear wax elf will come! I just know it!
Come on, hey Sloth, let me get that!
You’re so helpful, Howie!
You’re all set, thanks!
Howe, glad I could help! And I bet the ear wax is glad too!
The opposite of open, please! How can I help?
Duck, the door is on vacation!
No problemo! H up, wire down, wire, cheesy elevator music, wire open door, wire…
Everyone staring at the door, not talking… wire!
Aha! Here it is! Closed door!
[Music]
Wire! Splendid! Make sure you tell the ear wax elf how awesome I am!
Oh, funny doors!
W-w-w-we… they put cheese all over me and danced with me!
Cheese on my knees! Thank you and good night!
Encore!
Encore! Really? I’d love to do one more!
Set, shh, chill! Don’t shave a banana with your eyes! That’s a weird song, but it’s all I got left!
Alright, thank you everybody! Good night!
Encore!
Encore! Oh baby, what are you doing?
Just trying to make amends!
Hardcore!
Hey, hey! Holy… hey! Got a horn on my head! Not feeling great!
Oh, tonsils! What an entertainer!
I don’t think this is a good idea!
Sure it is! I’ll really impress the ear wax elf by helping you overcome your fears!
Yeah, I know you’re trying to help me, but why are we trying to overcome them all at once?
Because after today, you’ll never be afraid of the three biggies: heights, the dark, and Brussels sprouts!
But my biggest fear is getting pushed out of an airplane!
Even better! That’s four fears gone at once!
Another good… someone has got to put an end to this!
[Music]
Get away from my pony!
Oh, the teeth are so strong! Ridiculous when you constrict me!
Ow!
Ear wax elf, you really do exist!
Yuck! I knew Howie was telling the truth about you! You’re plumper than I thought you’d be!
Kind of like my friend Bunny!
I’m not plump! I have athletic thighs! Right from carrying all that…
[Music]
Wax!
Oh, thank you, ear wax elf! I thought he’d smell waxier!
He came! He came! Everybody, come see what he brought me!
Shaggy bunny thing! Forget to shave! Bet you feel pretty silly now!
You were right! I was wrong! Totally wrong! Couldn’t have been any wronger!
I mean, you were so wrong! Just open the presents!
Cotton tips! Okay, what’s this?
Wow! Isn’t that my horn polisher? Cool!
That’s my nightlight! Awesome!
Big back scratcher! Hey, O’s got a first aid kit just like this!
Not anymore! And finally… um, looks like a potato masher!
I always keep one by my bed, just in case!
Wow! Thank you, ear wax elf!
Yes, yes! Thank you, ear wax elf! And now everything can get back to normal around here!
Saw him last night, you know? Really!
But I’m not so sure it was the real ear wax elf!
Who do you think it was?
You!
Me? Why?
You still got ear wax on your paws!
Thanks for making my best buddy happy!
Anytime!
Wow! Would you look at the size of the booger that just dropped out of my nose?
The booger elf’s job is all yours!
I know this is a big decision, guys, but we have to make it now!
We either eat lunch here, enjoying Piggy’s sumptuous buffet, or at our favorite dining establishment, the Fruity Noodle Hut!
Oh no! What should we do?
Well, let’s see here: it’s free, there we pay, here we don’t have to go anywhere, there we’re not here!
Piggy needs dog thing’s mouth!
Hi, baby guest!
Oh, Piggy’s to make a pet tummy!
You eat! Tell guest to…
Yummy! Fruity Noodle Hut it is!
Then tastes delicious!
So there I was, hanging upside down, and this fork was lodged in my…
A fork lodged in your what?
I don’t believe it! Don’t look!
Wait, okay, now look! Is that Dark Danger?
It sure looks like him, and only someone who suffered repeated head damage could…
[Applause]
That I’d love to ask for an autograph, but I don’t want to disturb him while he sets that table!
Is he working here?
I’ve got to find out!
Excuse me, I couldn’t help but notice! I know you’re busy! This is amazing! I can’t believe it! You, Dark Danger, world-famous stunter!
Oh, my friend, you are sadly mistaken! I am a humble busboy!
But you’re wearing a cape!
Many busboys wear capes!
You even kind of talk like him!
And I hear…
Pok music?
No music being played! Tragically, the famous and handsome Dark Danger has hung up his helmet for good! No more stunting for him ever!
Never again!
What? But you can’t quit! You’re the best stunter of all time!
Yes, but sadly, Dark is having the stunter block!
Stunter block? Cannot think of a single new crazy thing to do for adoring fans watching now!
I mean, he… he’s retired! Living in a cave alone!
Danger away!
How could the best stunter ever retire? That’d be like me saying I’ve done everything there is to do as a hotel manager!
Oh, that’s hilarious!
Wait, now that I think about it, I have!
Oh, he was serious!
That’s it! I must leave the hotel business and devote my life to helping Dirk get unblocked!
Did he just quit?
I didn’t know he did anything!
Oh, come on! How’s a great manager? He’s responsible and good!
Fight!
You were saying hello, Dirk!
I am not home and not Dirk!
Uh, you’ve got your logo on this big rock you’re using as a door!
Many rocks have the logo of Dark Danger!
Can I come in?
Only if you are knowing the top secret password!
What is the top secret password?
I am needing to come up with something harder to…
Wow! I’m actually in the top secret hidden hermit layer of Dirk Danger, world’s greatest stunter!
X stunter wearing fuzzy slippers!
With what is that?
I’ll never forget this moment!
Nice for a young fan to say hello, but I am now living life as a happy hermit alone!
But you don’t have to be alone anymore! I’ve given up running my hotel to help cure you!
You are doing what?
Even better! I’m moving in to work with you!
246! 246! I take Fridays off! Will that be a problem?
Cramped but cozy! I got dibs on the top crack in the wall!
Hey, hear that?
Ooh, cool echo!
Here, I’ll go, and you go!
Please! Hermits do not have it the roommate test!
This is going to be amazing! We’re going to bond like crazy!
Do you have a bathroom in this cave, or should I just go anywhere?
So what did Howe do around here?
I never saw him check in a guest or clean anything!
Or clean a guest who was checking in!
Come on now, just a little scrubby scrub!
Do you know what Howie does around here?
Are you kidding? What doesn’t he do?
I even saw him fixing the balcony yesterday!
Ah, scratch that! Here, drink this!
You know how you said you couldn’t get the creative juices flowing?
There you go! Creative juices!
Drink up!
How these creative juices made?
I boiled your old costume!
And if that doesn’t work, I’ve got some great ideas for new stunts!
Want me to show them to you? Huh? Huh?
Ooh, I have an idea! I’ll play your accordion! That’ll inspire you!
H, this is trickier than I thought!
Oh, come, my tongue! Come, my tongue!
Say, why don’t we go outside so you can be showing me some stunts?
Really? But I’m just starting to get the hang of…
Alright! What if you juggled a family of electric eels with my tongue?
And they said I’d never be somebody!
Done it!
Oh, I bet you’ve never been sealed in a box and had them drop the world’s largest gumball on you!
Oh my! Now that’s a good…
Who hasn’t seen that old stunt by now?
Thanks for your trying!
Wait, I’ve got one more!
You are not the giving up, are you?
I’m your biggest fan! I’ve seen all your stunts!
But your memorabilia! I even have a box of your limited edition explosive postage stamps!
I must say, yes, being most curious to see how you will hurt yourself!
Great! I’ll get an anvil, some rocket fuel, and my expandable sponge shorts!
So did my feats of amazement and wonder inspire you?
Yes, really! I am inspired to move to a hard-to-find cave!
Oh, I think I saw Howie change a light bulb once! Was that a skill?
Right? Nope, nope, nope! Let’s forget we saw that!
Bre!
Huh? You ever yank out a nose hair and it like completely disappears? Like, where did it go? I can’t find it anywhere!
Huh, yeah! You found it! Quick! Make a wish!
What’d you wish for?
No, don’t tell me, or it won’t come true!
Maybe just a hint?
Okay, what was it?
I am sure you must be missing your hotel by now!
Not really! I’m not going anywhere until you’re unblocked!
Nothing could get me to leave this cave, even if it takes forever!
Okay, how would you like to go for ice cream?
Ice cream?
[Music]
Wait a second! This isn’t ice cream!
Soon to be former roommate! This is where you are belonging!
Here? Nuh-uh! Like you and your stunts!
I’ve done everything there is to do here!
Everything? You name it!
For surely you have not ever plumbed 67 toilets in one day!
There you are! Impressive!
But I am being sure you have never found new ways to dry guests when we’ve run out of clean towels!
I love your just-out-of-the-dryer fresh scent!
Thanks! You missed this spot!
But there is being no way!
I bet there is!
You have, however, I have been filling your entire hotel with melted marshmallow goo!
Melted marshmallow that will explode and cause millions of smelly socks to cover everything!
My new big-time stunt!
I am back!
This is going to be great! Piggy, melt many, many marshmallows!
Piggy, melt anything!
Sometimes just with eyes!
That’s just what I wanted to hear! Except for that last part!
It’s working!
Okay, so that’s one thing he does here!
It’s really working!
I got to find something that will explode dirty socks everywhere!
That’s another dark spin in there!
For almost 5 minutes, can he do it?
You know Dirk! He always lets us think he’s not going to make it, and then he’s only got 5 seconds left!
TAA! He emerges unharmed!
3, 2, 1!
And now he comes running out!
Or not!
Bummer!
I am back!
Another one of Dirk’s patented false endings!
I fall for it every time!
No, there’s no way Dirk could have survived!
Fooling you again!
All part of Dark Danger!
Not meaning to do this!
Falling!
Guess who?
Enough already! We went to commercial 20 seconds ago!
Oh, Harry! I want to be thanking you for unblocking my stunting!
Okay, time for Dark to write his name on P!
So I guess we should let the guests back into the hotel now, huh?
Let them back into the hotel? We were supposed to ask them to leave!
Did I not mention that?
Sorry about the inconvenience, folks! If any of you need help toweling this stuff off, I’m available!
Oh, that’s what he does!
Just creations!
Bye!
It’s a tough job!
