Don't care for 'em.
:deserve-1: :deserve-2:
entire decades of television are completely unpalatable due to the inclusion of laugh tracks
i have tried so many times but i just can't tolerate them at all
People say that but when laugh tracks stopped being popular we got podcasts.
The argument is that being funny wasnt the end of the sitcom. That it was meant to be :comfy:. That the laugh track was a form of interpassivity. It's not that people laughed because the laugh track. People heard laughter and got a tiny mental recharge. It is my opinion that the one of the reasons podcasts blew up is because it has that same interpassvity. Where listeners get that tiny relief from their alienation.
It's like having a big light up sign over the TV telling you when to laugh
Once again it should be explained. A live studio audience and a laugh track are not the same thing.
Famously, the laugh track in MASH was something that was forcefully inserted via executive meddling. I assume it's the case with most comedies.
there are shows with laugh tracks that are funny, but it really can ruin it. That 70's Show is insane with the laughter. like if any audience laughed that much they would be in hysteria.
