Who's ready for some Dunkin' Donuts?!

If you're near Los Angeles, you're in luck as the popular East Coast breakfast destination finally opened a store this month.

Being the smart lady that she is, Ellen DeGeneres decided to send a fan with an earpiece to pose as an employee in the newest location. As you can guess, hilarity quickly ensued.

In the clip just released, two customers approach the counter where they ask for two munchkins. Instead, Ellen instructs the worker to pick out one of every flavor. "Variety is the spice of life," the fake worker tells the customers.

Things only get funnier when the worker decides to tell a random joke. 

"What did the donut say to the donut he just met?" he asks. "You donut know me!" Come on, that's pretty funny, folks!

But what really throws the customers for a loop is when the worker says all the donuts will cost an awesome 35 cents total.

When the lucky shoppers hand over a $20 bill, however, the worker decides to keep the change. 

Thanks to amazing timing, the next customer in line is a die-hard Ellen DeGeneres Show fan who senses something is definitely up. 

"I'm pretty sure Ellen is telling you some things," she says after laughing with other customers in line. "I watch Ellen every day and I know how she works."

Without many options, the employee reveals the truth. Everyone is on the Ellen DeGeneres Show and everyone gets free donuts! Man, we're so jealous!
