Doctor Surlee is an NPC monkey Toon who is commonly known as the director of Loony Labs and a member of the S.I.L.L.I. (Scientists Interested in Laugh Levels Increasing) team. He can be found in Toon Hall inspecting the Silly Meter with the rest of the Scientoons. Toons may visit him to obtain a ToonTask that awards a Silly Reader and learn more about the functionality of the Silly Meter.
History
Activating the time reversal
- "My name is Gyro Gearloose, and today my story is rewritten."
- ―Doctor Surlee before being rewritten.
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 the date. The first anomaly occurred on November 26th in 2013 (2002).[1] Many of the anomalies led to incidents where the blueprints of his inventions, such as the portable hole, were revealed.
Doctor Surlee was soon met by two Toons (eventually revealed to be Doctor Fissionton) who were previously known as "the Two" on April 26, 2014 (2003), for the first time. With every appearance they 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.
With all of Toontown, even Flippy, knowing Doctor Surlee's secret ever since 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 to propel Toontown's silliness to new heights. After years of hard work, Doctor Surlee's latest invention was completed and had released 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.
