There's a big bang theory clip with the laugh track cut out and it's unnerving to the point of becoming funny with the long, awkward pauses in the dialogue where they just stare vacantly into space in complete silence after saying something terrible to leave room for the laugh track to be edited in in post.
Not trying to defend it or anything, but this is true for any show with a laugh track. Its directed and edited with the track in mind, so it's no surprise that something feels off when it's taken away. It'd be like criticizing an action film for being flat without the tense soundtrack

This is more of a Garfield minus Garfield situation where taking it away turns something that's aggressively unfunny into surreal antihumor.
