(Scientists Interested in Laugh Levels Increasing) team, and a member of the Toon Council. He can be found in Toon Hall inspecting the Silly Meter with the rest of the Scientoons.

History

Activating the time reversal

"My name is Gyro Gearloose, and today my story is rewritten."

―Doctor Surlee before being rewritten.^[src]

Taking place in the original timeline after Doomsday, Gyro Gearloose revisited his personal lab that was transformed into Cog Nation. He eventually rewrote himself to become Doctor Surlee by using the Rewritten Device that he invented. With his pocketwatch, Doctor Surlee took Toontown back nearly 15 years in time to October 26, 1998, and gave it a new start from the beginning.

Causing unforeseen anomalies

"...October 26th, 1998. That's the day I came back to. The day that, as they say, I threw a gigantic rock into the fabric of time that has caused ripples every month following it."

―Doctor Surlee in his "Info.txt" document via LoonyLabs.net.

A series of anomalies that occurred on the 26th of every month was caused by a ripple effect placed on it. The first anomaly occurred on November 26th in 2013 (2002).^[1] Many of the anomalies led to incidents where the blueprints of Doctor Surlee's inventions, such as the portable hole, were revealed.

Doctor Surlee was soon met by two Toons (formerly known as "the Two" and eventually revealed to be Doctor Fissionton) on April 26, 2014 (2003), in a blog post where they appeared as "???". With every appearance the two Toons made, they expressed their significant understanding of the 26th and what Doctor Surlee was trying to accomplish. Knowing that he was going to need their help, Doctor Surlee triggered a ripple by creating a blog post announcing the return of LoonyLabs.net on January 25, 2018, (2007), to lure out "the Two" one day before the 26th.^[2]

A secret unveiled

"I wanted to trigger a ripple in order to lure out the Two... Err, the Fissiontons... But I never expected anything of that magnitude. A tidalwave. I was scared to face the town after the entirety of my secret was unveiled."

―Doctor Surlee when Toons approached him with the "Good luck!" SpeedChat phrase during the Silly Particle search.

Because all of Toontown learned Doctor Surlee's secret due to LL-TERMINAL26's transmission via LoonyLabs.net, he was afraid to come out of hiding from his personal lab. When Toons sent reports to Loony Labs about a certain fire hydrant on Silly Street trying to spring to life, Doctor Surlee knew he could not pass up on the opportunity to do some research on silliness. Toons were instructed to collect 2,600,000 Silly Particles to help Doctor Surlee with his research. Once all Silly Particles were collected, Doctor Surlee met with Doctor Fissionton inside Toon Hall's secret room.

With the assistance of Doctor Fissionton and the rest of Loony Labs, Doctor Surlee reconstructed a new Silly Meter that propelled Toontown's silliness to new heights. After years of hard work, Doctor Surlee's latest invention was completed and ready for launch on March 6, 2019 (2008). About a week later on March 13th, the Silly Meter maxed for the first time and ended the anomalies of the 26th.

P.L.U.S.H. mishap

"Hello, Toons. Doctor Surlee here to report one of the most preposterous Loony Labs experiments to date! It appears that Lord Lowden Clear and I have been turned into what I am officially calling a Portable Laugh Units for Snuggles and Hugs, or P.L.U.S.H. for short."

―Doctor Surlee^[src]

Following a mishap that took place during an experiment on using silliness to soften up the Cogs, Doctor Surlee and Lord Lowden Clear transformed into Portable Laugh Units for Snuggles and Hugs (P.L.U.S.H.) when the Silly Meter bounced and surged. After experimenting to come up with a way to undo the mishap, Doctor Surlee returned to his Toon form once he drank a concoction of jellybeans, an old rubber boot, and other ingredients. Due to Lord Lowden Clear disappearing, Doctor Surlee offered a ToonTask during Operation: P.L.U.S.H. Patrol where he rewarded Toons with a copy of his cardboard cutout furniture item.

Trivia

A "Toon News for the Amused!" page about Loony Labs from Toontown Online stated that Doctor Surlee never cracked a smile, which Joey confirmed was true in Toontown Rewritten's storyline.
