I can't watch anything with a laugh track anymore. Growing up I knew it was there, but I never actually noticed it. Now it's so jarring and fake.
The ONLY show I can watch with a laugh track is "How I Met Your Mother," and I think it's because instead of using an actual track, they microphoned an audience who watched the show on a screen and recorded their real laughter.
That β70s Show too, it fits perfectly in that show for me. I hate it elsewhere, even if itβs a live studio audienceβ¦ it ruins the pacing of a show for me.
I absolutely refuse to watch something with a laugh track as well.
"Those are dead people laughing"
Not even Father Ted?
Haven't seen it, sorry.
It's worth the laugh track π
