what does the young guy say when he first comes in with the beer? Sounds like "get your laughing gear around that."

Possibly, or maybe "get your laughing gear in on that". It's definitely "laughing gear" -- meaning "equipment used for laughing," meaning "mouth."

I've never heard "laughing gear" before, but in US slang, the mouth is sometimes called a "cake hole" or a "pie hole" -- often in phrases like "shut your cake hole". (But under no circumstances should "cake hole" or "pie hole" be confused with "corn hole"!!!)

Anyway, that commercial was pretty hilarious.

You heard right. Laughing gear is slang for mouth.
