Can't blame him he was probably familiar with her magazine cover, and oh, by the way she speaks Jive Back in the day this was every boys jerk off material
Laugh tracks are really IRRITATING. They cover bad writing. I've thought of this every time a laugh track comes on after a nothing "so-called joke." Mostly, damn near every line that gets a "laugh" that way is not funny at all.Seinfeld was about the only show with a minimal laugh track that works.
I don't get TV shows that record live and need a sign to tell the crowd when to laugh. That shits fucked up, and fake ass. Fuck that, I will laugh when something is funny. No one gonna tell me when to laugh. Fuck them. If they ain't funny I ain't laughing and that should be eveybodies attitude. That way friends wouldn't have had to last 11 seasons because everyone would have just sat there like are we seriously watching these morons.
Hmmm... I get what you're saying but I think laugh tracks are effective for some sitcoms, Friends being one of them. I don't think I would have watched that show at all without the laugh track. It works as kind of a lubricant to make the characters more accessible, same with Big Bang Theory from what I've seen. I couldn't make it through all the seasons of Friends even with the laugh track. The show established Ross and Rachel's relationship early but when everyone else started falling for each other, I felt the tone of the show drastically changed and I stopped watching it. So I don't think laugh tracks necessarily save a show either.
He who shall not be named, is a purple dinosaur, and the problem is you cannot kill a fucking clown suit. Hence, we must all be satisfied with the knowledge that his battery powered fan inside the suit caught fire, burning his buns.
the concept of a laugh track is pretty annoying, but in practice i rarely even notice it as i'm watching a show.
Its called "sweetening" and the whole idea is that you aren't supposed to notice it, because you are supposed to be laughing.
It's when, on a show, the producers put recordings of people laughing, booing, or cheering the background of the show. It's supposed to tell the viewer when to laugh or otherwise react. It's dumb. Usually used in sitcoms from a certain era. They aren't so popular any more.
well i'm not usually laughing (sure, sometimes i am, but laugh tracks play way more often than a genuinely funny joke is told). but i did grow up with laugh tracks in pretty much every show after all, so it just became so normal that it doesn't even register anymore.
the worst is when someone enters the scene, either a famous guest, or even worse, just a popular character in the show, and they play the loud "woooooooo!"
Ah okay so I was pretty spot on in my first post about it hehe. Yeah nah, I don't like it. Like I said, I laugh at what's funny. It's like funniest home videos when people laugh it's all bullshit, some dumb kid and some dumb animal aren't funny, some old person drunk at a party falling over is.
I remember reading once that most laugh tracks were filmed quite some time ago, so when you hear a sitcom with a laugh track, most of the people laughing are dead.
Doesn't surprise me, they all sound the same hehe. Herherher Hahaherher Her Herrr Ha. Heherhhehr wiooooo
Actually I think in Seinfeld they had to ask the audience to stop cheering when Kramer came in the room because he had to wait 5 seconds before starting his speech because of the noise.
