This is a revision.

This spell afflicts the subject with uncontrollable laughter. The subject can take no actions while laughing, but is not considered helpless. On the your 's next turn, the target may attempt a new saving throw. If this save is successful, the effect ends. If it fails, the creature falls prone and continues laughing for a second round.

A creature with an Intelligence score of 2 or lower is not affected. A creature whose type is different from the caster's receives a +4 bonus on its saving throw, because humor doesn't "translate" well.
