Laugh Track

[kyprioth657]

I like watching sitcoms, except for the fact that they keep inserting laugh tracks, even in the new shows. I seem to notice it more and more. Are laugh tracks getting louder? They annoy the hell outta me.

Yes, they're annoying. And if you listen to alot of them, you'll hear that they sound exactly like ones from the 50's and 60's. Because.....they are!

The only ones I like are the ones that actually have live audiences that may laugh or may not. I don't like when they also put the filler laugh tracks in-between the live audience laugh tracks. It's like the producers are saying, "Here, Dum-Dum, this is where you should be laughing!"

It's even worse when it's after something that's barely even funny, or not funny at all.
