print("Python stuff")
This will output the string 'Python stuff', but if you don't use the parentheses (<- brackets like these ->) it doesn't understand what it should do and throws an exception!

20,315 PointsI'd recommend repeating the python basics course by Kenneth, he will explain it better than I ever could!
Josh Keenan
20,315 PointsIt's because his surname is love, if you added the letter 'S' to his surname it becomes the word 'loves' and in the context it becomes humorous
