An entire episode of Friends without any dialogue:
/ 991002342005919744
I think we can all agree that laugh tracks are terrible. They're obnoxious, unnecessary, and an obvious waste of time- but exactly how much time? How much of an average episode of a sitcom like Friends is JUST laughter? That's the question I attempt to answer in this video.
This video was one I've been slowly writing for a few months, and one I had a ton of fun making. I know it's very different than anything I've put on this channel so I'm hoping you guys are on board. As you can probably tell, this was heavily inspired by the style of nerdwriter1 ( • Harry Potter & The Pri... ), one of my personal favorite youtubers.
It's a weird video because it combines comedy and math- two things that are very different. But if you've followed me on here for a while, you know that math is a strangely consistent theme in a lot of my videos. For some reason a love of statistics is deeply ingrained in my brain and there's just nothing you can do to change that so stop trying please.
Comment whatever feedback you'd like.

For me who has watched friends many times entirely all alone, laugh track does give me the feeling of not being alone at all while I am watching. In fact it does give me permission to not feel like an idiot to laugh out aloud in many scenes. Even when you are watching with friends and family it does give you a homely feel to it but i get it it's a thing of past and wouldn't feel right in today's sitcoms that's why it only work with friends which really does make it special as it is of it's time.

I heard Friends' creators say that sometimes they would change a joke because the audience wouldn't laugh so they would have to come up with a new joke and see the audience reaction. So laughs helped for that too. I like laughs, especially when something really good happens like Rachel and Ross's first kiss, they scream and it makes me feel like I'm not watching it alone.

Yes, I find it odd how he already started to force his opinion on to us. And made me feel guilty for liking laugh tracks.. I love shows without laugh tracks too like The Office, Parks & Rec, Modern Family etc. But shows like Friends, The Nanny, Will & Grace, Seinfield etc really had a good way of delivering the laugh tracks. Yes you have really afwul shows like Big Bang theory who just use them for everything, but that is also true for a lot of silent comedies. And to be honest just like, I guess laugh tracks can get too much, so do some silent comedies. Yes I love to have moments where I can also laugh on my own but some silent comedies are so silent that I start to feel alone and even get me depressed lol. It's the deliverance and the balance in both situations that's important. So I don't really agree with his glorification for mostly silent comedies. Laughing tracks can also feel homey and nice and you don't feel so alone sometimes. In his video 2 years later he also said CBS is the only channel that does laughing tracks now ''because some people don't like change and just like to stick to old stuff'' which is a really stupid take. A lot of people like both, it just has to be done right. I don't know something irks me the wrong way about these smug videos of people talking down on good shows with laughing tracks. :/

The long reaction from the live audience when it was revealed that Chandler and Monica slept together was what convinced the creative team to push through with Mondler.

Another factor besides when the shows were written is that the office is capitalizing on awkward comedy. You sometimes need those weird silences for the jokes to really land. A laugh track/live audience would move you out of those moments too quickly. Not sure why it took me rewatching Drew Gooden content years later to think of that 🤣

I used to hate laugh tracks. I still do, but I used to, too. But I've come to the realization these shows were just trying to simulate the experience of going to a theater and watching a live performance. Be honest, you will be more primed to enjoy your experience when you are surrounded by people who are having a good time, especially when these are people that you are close with and enjoy the company of. On the other side, The Office and other shows that try to emulate its style are attempting to simulate the experience of being within an in-group and all of the humor that derives from having intimate relationships with these people. It actually makes you feel like you're a part of the group. Now, whichever experience you prefer is up to you. But these shows are trying to do two entirely different things and I think it might not be the best option to compare them without equivalent context.

The season 5 episode 14 coincidence reaches beyond these two shows. 5x14 of Brooklyn Nine-Nine is The Box, which is the highest rated episode of the show with 9.5 on IMDb and a fan favourite. 5x14 of Parks and Rec is Leslie and Ben, which has 9.3 on IMDb and marks one of the milestones on the show. 5x14 of Breaking Bad is Ozymandias, which even Vince Gilligan said was the best episode of the show. It has a perfect 10.0 on IMDb and almost every viewer will tell you how that episode is TV at its peak. In conclusion, every show creator is just one lizard with a bunch of human suits and has a thing for 5 and 14.

As far as I can recall, Mr. Bean is the only show that I feel uses canned laughter properly (if it even is just a laugh track and not live reaction). Not only does it fit the bizarre actions that we see being portrayed onscreen, but the recorded reactions are varied and feel real. Sometimes the whole room erupts into laughter, sometimes it's only a few chuckles, and sometimes the audience is completely silent while one person lets out a lone guffaw. Sometimes you'll even hear a cough when nothing special is going on. It feels less like the show is forcing you to laugh along, and more like you're watching this freakshow with a group of friends.

Livy Rose U hating Ross so much is actually just a compliment to David Schwimmer. He is no doubt the best actor on the show. His comedic timing and physical expressions are what separates him from the rest of the cast. He just plays a misunderstood character so people overlook his ability as an actor. Ross has been he most complicated personality on the show and is therefore the hardest character to play. Props to Schwimmer for perfecting Ross.

there are literally so many awkward moments in friends, but even if there weren’t, how the fuck is that seemingly the deciding factor of which show is better? like the whole point of the office as a mockumentary is to build on those moments, so yes, it would be pretty shit if it didn’t.

I think the most underrated thing about Friends, amidst all the hate people suddenly started feeling towards it, is the production value. The way it was shot, the way they color-grade those few first season, the way they dress them, the way make-up is beautiful for every character, set design. It is a really great creation in its own right. Also i dont like how suddenly people are blaming actors for being in that kind of format, and those videos without laugh track are just stupid, cause actors were aware of laugh track. Television comedy was not developed as it is now, so people thought why not do it like in theater..Go to theater sometimes and you will see same pauses, same interaction with people laughs.. I am still one of biggest fans of Office, so this is not even a comparisment for me. But i feel like people are over-hating Friends just so they can feel special and different than others cause at one point everybody loved Friends, probably those same people.

And like I said, they often relied on the audience's response (or lack thereof) to figure out what worked and when they could change something. Speaking of multiple takes, there are several blooper reels where we see the audience laughing along with the actors at them messing up their lines, which is obviously genuine, and whaddoyaknow, if sounds exactly like what ends up on the final cut.

The office just isnt funny though, to me. But to say friends isnt funny is a travesty. It may have a laugh track, but it merges with the laugh track exquisitely. I dont like the idea that having a laugh track instantly makes you worse. Its not hard to make jokes, sometimes its easier to not have any laugh tracks, just the awkward silence.

The choice of direction and documentary style of shooting made office a big hit, the little accidents felt so real the sound effects lighting and the characters acknowledging the camera was superb it added so much and also helped us know more bout the characters in their private moments. Choosing not to add any background score to it keeping the moments as real as it could be made it a hit, sharp closeups to capture each character's reactions especially through their eyes was great and also the acting of the characters who were not in the foreground was also intelligently done. Crisp sound design fell in love with the sounds of an office milieu.

The office was a masterpiece when Michael Scott was still on. The rest of the last seasons were funny too, but not as much imo.

This is the first time I've seen this particular video (and idk how I missed it when I've seen most of Drew's videos), and I really enjoyed it a lot. As someone who does not like Friends OR The Office, I can still appreciate the ways these particular shows advanced the comedy genre. Parks and Recreation is my favorite show, but I do thank The Office for getting popular enough to bring the docucomedy genre to life! Also they had the same writers lol.

as much as i love both shows, the office just feels more real, friends is too staged. and i think the fact that in the office they were actually filming a documentary makes it even more realistic because we get things like 'secret' shots from the camera where the characters don't know they're being filmed or sometimes even interactions with the cameramen like in the later seasons when jim starts working in philly and pam gets really upset and is talking to the cameraman, who later gets fired for that. it just adds a more relatable touch.
