If you have about 20 minutes or less if you crank the speed, this podcast about laugh tracks is pretty interesting.

You aren’t necessarily wrong. Have you ever seen Friends without a laugh track?

Lost_My_Mind ,

Friends without a laugh track is 1000% funnier.

Especially Ross…who becomes basically a serial killer vibe.

In The Big Bang Theory without the laugh track, Raj becomes just a huuuuuuge asshole.

Oh man you weren’t kidding, at least drunk Raj becomes an unfunny asshole if nobody is laughing.

Holy shit, this is much better than the original!!! Damn, I should rewatch the series like this. Where can I find all of it without the laugh track?

Edit: I have to add, the long pauses make it a bit annoying. With the laugh track the pauses aren’t noticeable (to me at least; my girlfriend did notice the long pauses even with the laugh track, and it was annoying to her).

The pauses are there because it’s not a “laugh track”, it’s a live audience. That’s not to say it’s 100% genuine laughter, but they’re pausing so the laughter doesn’t bury the dialogue.

There was a great take on one of these called “Everybody Hates Raymond”

It was the show Everybody Loves Ramon but the laugh track was completely replaced with boos and was frickin hilarious. I think it got removed from YouTube though cuz I haven’t been able to find it for years.

Tbf it’s more that the feel of a live audience would be missing otherwise. They wanted that live audience feel and be a fully written TV series.

I guess to some degree it’s not completely wrong tho.

It’s just a passing shower thought

audience loses their shit at this comment- people are rolling on the floor, gasping for breath, beginning to choke their fellow humans out of sheer comedy.
