"'''Last Laugh'''" is the twentieth episode in the [[CSI: Crime Scene Investigation (season 3)|third season]] of the [[United States|American]] [[forensic]] [[crime drama]] ''[[CSI: Crime Scene Investigation]]'', which is set in [[Las Vegas, Nevada|Las Vegas]], [[Nevada]].

==Plot summary==
[[Gil Grissom|Grissom]] and [[Catherine Willows|Catherine]] investigate the murder of an [[insult comedy|insult comic]] named Dougie Max who dropped dead on stage after drinking from a tainted bottle of designer water. [[Warrick Brown|Warrick]] is sent to a convenience store to investigate the death of a 15-year-old boy only to find out the boy died after drinking the same brand of water. The cops trace the water and other acts of hostility to a comic who hated Max's lowest-common-denominator comedy and attitude, and who has an on-stage breakdown where he confesses to killing Max and laments that an innocent kid got killed as well.

[[Jim Brass|Brass]] asks [[Nick Stokes|Nick]] and [[Sara Sidle|Sara]] to investigate a case he ruled an accidental death after spotting the 'grieving' husband in a very expensive new car. They figure out that the husband's story of an accidental drowning isn't backed by physical evidence, and deduce that the wife was drowned by the husband while taking a bath. The case can't be prosecuted, but Brass talks to the husband's insurance company and gets them to impound the car, with promises of more civil liabilities and a continuing criminal investigation to come.

==Critical analysis==
The episode includes a reference to the [[1982 Chicago Tylenol murders]], when seven people died after ingesting tampered painkiller capsules.
