David Schwimmer brought his own corny dad jokes for his botanist character in “Goosebumps: The Vanishing,” the second season of the Disney+ and Hulu series inspired by R.L. Stine’s iconic stories.
For example, the punny plant joke that makes his teenage kids on the show — Devin (Sam McCarthy) and Cece (Jayden Bartels) — wince the hardest is, “What plant should you watch out for? An ambush.”
Showrunner Rob Letterman told TheWrap in a recent interview, “He did a deep dive on, ‘OK, botanist. Bad dad jokes. Bad dad plant jokes.’”
Fellow showrunner Hilary Winston added, “He sent us a list of these jokes.
