Quick, answer this question without looking it up, and only if you haven't watched the show in a while.Did Seinfeld have a laugh track?
It had an audience that laughed, and they used some laugh tracks to mask using different takes for scenes

>HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAAH
Yes
No, the laughter was a manifestation of Jerry's madness

I am surprised how the laugh track never bothers me with Seinfeld. It feels like it isn't even there sometimes...
NOW when I watch Big Bang Theory: that laugh track fucking soars every second over their voices and interrupts them with almost every single sentence. It is such a pain to listen to.
Live studio audience, my dude.
laugh track has always been weird to me. dick van dyke show 60 years ago has better test audience reaction with fake laughter added in and it becomes a tv staple up until basically 2010

And even then, that's mostly because that whole style of sitcom has been gradually fading.

I've never been a fan of them either.
Have comedy movies had them them?
>>70498848
Only as a joke, since movies were traditionally seen in theaters with an actual real life audience.

but even shows like cheers had a studio audience but still used a laugh track to shape the flow of the episodes if the audience laughter wasnt right. they called it 'sweetening'

Good point, guess I forgot that now DVD and streaming are the norm.Adam Sandler's next Netflix exclusive movie will have a laugh track embedded and no one will really notice it
>>70498409
i've never watched the show and I know that the answer is yes.

At one point they were fucking up everyone's timing so bad that fucking Larry had to get up before tapings and tell them to stop it

Frome the viewer's standpoint, what difference is there between a "laugh track" and a "live studio audience" with an applause sign? Shit sounds the same and it just as irritating.

The satisfaction that 40-50 random people were tortured for my entertainment.

It's because you actually feel like laughing yourself, hence laughing track being 'invisible'.

Fun fact: TBBT has a studio audience. Yes, people are actually laughing every time they mention a video game/scientist/electronic device/movie
