Arent they the weirdest thing? Who came up with the concept of adding fake laughter in a show to indicate the characters have done something funny? Is todays generation so dumb they can't figure out the half assed jokes made on sitcoms? It seems like its the same thing as those signs you see in studios that say "Applause". Whats next? Adding in screams when something scarry happens? Maybe some crying sounds when sad thigns happen.......

the sounds don't really indicate that something funny happend, they just add 'fun' to a trivial scene. i saw a documentary about humor where they had clips from shows with the laughing removed and it was just plain silly.

Well with the laugh tracks removed the characters would just stand there while they wait for the laughing (that isnt on) to stop. Very often do I notice everything just stopping so the laughtrack can finish....
Look at movies, they don't have laughtracks and can still be funny. Its just something that has been pounded into our heads thru tv...

I'm not sure Mr. Waits ;)
The only thing worse than canned laughter are children shows when they laugh at something that isn't funny

Plus I think when kids see other kids laughing like crazed axe murderers it makes them laugh.
