Title: Can you tell the difference between a laugh-track and a live audience?
Post by: GeraldFord on August 12, 2007, 08:02:34 AM

Live is more, uh, organic.

Canned laught sounds...canned...a sudden start and stop.

WWF wrestling has the worst actual audience tracks though........like all of a sudden you'll just hear the effect play and all at once like 10,000 people will be booing or going nuts and you can see in the background that no one is doing shit.? Like it used to be for John Cena (I think idiots actually cheer him now)...don't know haven't watched in a bit.


I'm a fan of no laugh track at all though......I like to keep it The Office style....Ricky Gervais and Stephen Merchant hit the nail on the head.

Laugh tracks suck 99% of the time... And the whole live audience thing as well. If you need a crowd laughing as to point out what jokes are funny, or when to laugh, either a) the jokes aren't funny, or b) you're a moron.

But that is just my opinion. Still.. laughing tracks - moronic.

Not much difference these days, given the laugh/clap prompts for live audiences these days. 

I'll never forget this one time while watching "What's Happening" there was one particular person in the live audience who could not stop laughing, even when not appropriate;  it sounded like she was having a heart attack.

that often happens when you're tense in a tensed place. like when you're on stage, at a funeral etc.....


Where I live laugh tracks are hardly heard unless maybe in a sarcastic sense.
for instance when a joke that is totally dull or hard to get is made.
