Tom Remes - omg me too!! 😂😂

Jose De Leon I don’t think it’s an American thing, people in general don’t like to be told when something is funny. It’s like explaining a joke

@@AloneInTheCandyJar And thanks to the heaps of laugh tracked comedy shows from america up through the years, the rest of the world see being told when something is funny to be a very american thing... Not as a command but to help slow people get the joke. Thus americans are seen as slow to the rest of the world.

There is cognitive dissonance in America with the people vs corporate curated towards the people. Both are distinctly American. America thinks it's very free, very about making their own choices, but there is a reason billions of dollars are spent on commercials and also any laws surrounding them to make them as manipulative as possible. Laugh track is actually a great example. Due to our social nature and empathy, we feel like we should be laughing when we hear laughing. If you associate a show to laughter, even when fake you are more bound to feel at ease with the show. Even knowing it's fake, unless it has direct underlying creepiness to the laugh or laughing at very inappropriate times, will make anyone feel that way. It's like commercials and advertising itself isn't something anyone on earth can "see past" not even people who make adverts for a living and know all the tricks and manipulative tactics. Knowing doesn't mean a person becomes non-susceptible.

@@AloneInTheCandyJar i was paraphrasing Mike Royce 7:57 from the vid.

@@vixxcelacea2778 It feels like you're saying that all americans are manipulated so much by the corporate advertising that they just do things mindlessly almost subconsciously. I'd have to disagree. Yes advertising (or laughing) obviously has an effect on people's actions and behaviours, but knowing the psychology behind advertisements would most certainly change the way people view that product or service. In fact, it can have a reverse effect, such as campaign adverts. People consciously listen and absorb the information provided by the subject of the campaign to get a sense of their ideologies. An advertisement is just like a campaign for the service/product being sold. People consciously absorb information about that product and their own personal beliefs and ideologies will either align with the product/service or not, which will influence their purchase.

That's an amazing observation

It's funny because it is true

Didn't Top Cat and the Flintstones have laugh trax?

@@binkwillans5138 it’s actually pretty interesting. The Flintstones, Top Cat, and the The Jetsons aired during prime time on ABC so they were marketed as a family shows and had laugh tracks. For Saturday morning shows, since Looney Tunes and MGM didn’t have a laugh tracks since they were originally shown in theaters, nearly all the other cartoons in this slot didn’t have a laugh track either. The only Saturday morning cartoon I can think of that has a laugh track is Scooby Doo. But I’m from the Nickelodeon and Cartoon Network generation so I might have missed one. But yeah, excluding Scooby Doo and maybe one or two I’m missing, the vast majority of cartoons produced for kids from the 1960s through the 1990s didn’t have laugh tracks.

@@l4ndst4nder I think Pink Panther originally didn't have a laugh track, then they ruined it forever.

@@maulalex08 bruh put in that one moaning girl meme for every sexy bit

I think the soundtrack is for that. The “Psycho” stabs are basically that.

Watch midsommar there’s a scene that reproduce that a bit

Corek BleedingHollow absolutely true. Check out layered, well written comedy. It doesn’t need a laugh track. On the flip side watch something shallow lwithout a laugh track, and you’ll sit there stony faced wondering what you ever saw in it.

Shows like The IT Crowd or Fawlty Towers have laugh tracks but are nevertheless very funny.

The actor is putting on his shoes .. HAHAHAHAHAHA The actor is going to the toilet.. HAHAHAHAHA .. they put a laugh track everytime the actor opens his mouth really .. which is infuriating 🤯

And even if it was funny, it usually wouldn't be laugh-out-loud funny. The laugh track just interrupts scenes that might have had some potential. Some shows overused the laugh tracks so much that actors have to take a break after every line for the laugh track.

True, but I still prefer shows that have the laugh track. The ones that don't I feel are even less funny.

Yeah that's just the same as canned laughter.

Not to burst your bubble, but real live audience that is forced to laugh is what called canned laughter…lol your life is a lie…

Wouldn't it be easier to record the laughs separately?

@@bonaaq86 Yep, it would. But if they do use an audience they’re able to say “filmed in front of a live studio audience”

@@lake4433 lol, didn't know that was a thing

It's cheaper to record/film in a studio without an audience. That's one of the main reasons; budgetary and insurance concerns. One audience member trips and is hospitalized for an injury: big bucks out the window. I agree this was not clearly explained in an otherwise very good video.

You don't want to make enemies of shows, writers and producers. There are popular videos that show why The Big Bang Theory was not funny at all.

It was started near the beginning quite clearly. Sitcoms have been declining in popularity and with that canned laughter has also gone into decline. Implicit: Comedy is evolving away from the format which used it routinely. It later pointed to beginning of the decline beginning in 1992 and described instances of producers/directors explicitly rejecting it as insincere, too much of a cue to audiences and "self-defeating."

@@ems7623 in general, mass media is declining and people don't want to be spoon fed what to believe and how to feel. That's why woke shows and movies are hated. It's bigger than comedy.

@@billkates6938 laugh tracks don't need live audience, that's why they are called canned laughter.

Exactly, it's also one of the most annoying things in the world.

Yeah also she didn't mention The Office (the original english version) which was one of the biggest recent comedies to do no laugh track and also a single cam mockumentary, and you notice after The American Office started to get big, a ton of very similar no laugh track/mockumentary style comedies popped up.

>It's funny Are you telling me what to laugh at?

*Only Fools and Horses*

VAZUUUUUUUUUUUP

Really ? What show ? I was about to ask about that.

I've been at a live concert filming.... snoooooze boring hours

Hahahahaha...hahaha

I absoultely get why it was created as yeah hearing the same joke 10x kills the joke. The problem for me was once they stopped using live audiences they kept the laugh track as a way to prop up shitty writting

@porschedriven918 if i said that to a woman i would be prosecuted or called a creep 🙃

It was shown without a laugh track in the U.K. There was a documentary about comedy shows that aired on BBC 2. Alan Alda mentioned how glad everyone involved with M.A.S.H was glad it was aired as intended in the U.K. It's strange how a foreign country, could see the artistic merit of the show without a laugh track, and not underestimate the intelligence of its viewers. Yet the very country the show was made in and for, had the complete opposite approach.

Yea, it got rediculous with The Fonz on Happy Days, and on Seinfeld they had to tell people to keep quiet when Kramer would pop in.

Lol

True, but one of the guys shown in the video admitted it is also used when a line is funnier than the writers themselves thought and using the actual audience reactions would be eating up the time needed to set up the next joke or to further the story along.

@@josephengel2091 I've never heard a single funny joke in a sitcom.

It was meant for the first people to know television after knowing live shows. Current generations have grown up watching media on their own and don't mind not feeling like in a theater.

@@ZaveAres I feel bad for you.... to be unable to find something funny sounds like a terrible way to live.

@@josephengel2091 That is the very reason I never liked going to movies for comedy shows, or really any shows. The audience totally ruins the experience by talking laughing and screaming too long or at inappropriate times. Also getting up for concessions of the bathroom. Movies will be Blu-Ray for me.

Yeah maybe, but what happens when it’s used every bloody second by an unimaginative minority, Tell-A-Vision is obsolete

Some show do do a sort of "awwwww" sound for sad scenes but it's not as common as laugh tracks

I could see a show using that successfully, the next big step in comedy is the ironic laugh track.

"Sad" music is used in these momments

Sometimes you can hear gasps of disgust from a live studio audience, where the writers clearly expected laughter. Those are always interesting moments.

A lot of 80's or 70's shows did that weirdly enough. Look at A Very Special Episode series on Laugh or Die. I'm not sure which of those shows that had laughter were from live audiences or laugh tracks, but wow were they poorly timed

Forced to laugh at unfunny things too

Hey penny bazinga haha so funny

What show were you laughing for?

Haha sounds worse than Jury duty.

My experience was complety different: The bloopers made things funny, and the brass band (have you ever heard Tequila played of the tuba before?) kept us entertained between takes. The taping took about an hour.

I heard if the live audience doesn’t laugh they scrap the joke but I always knew they probably made people laugh or pressured.

True

considering how subjective humour is though, I’m surprised it’s lasted this long. For instance I don’t mind it at all on King of Queens because it tends to laugh with me whereas I find Big Bang Theory mildly clever at best and the laugh track completely ruins any entertainment I could get from it.

Why? If you're in a theater watching a movie and a few people laugh at a joke that you and most others don't, do you find that annoying?

@@gamecreatorc It's different when someone manufactures laughing into something, that's basically saying "this is funny" and telling you what's funny instead of others naturally finding something funny while others don't.

I'm very much not American, and I find canned laughter condescending. Especially since most of the time the punchlines just ain't funny. Or at least not funny enough to prompt more than a closed mouth chuckle

kzfaq.info/get/bejne/nKxge8Sn2cuXf6c.html

"Mom, I'm pregnant." Woooooooo!

It's actually for editing. They don't actually think every single line is funny. Say you get a good take but an actor messes up at the end. The audience reacts great, but you need to get that last shot. So you film it but when you get to the edit, the laughter cuts in and out between takes. So what do you do? You take the audio from a clean laugh track and blend it in.

I think HIMYM found a good middle ground. Not too much but just enough to lighten the mood.

Especially on shity shows like The big bang theory where nothing is funny so you got to act like the word hello is

Thing some people pick up on the jokes late. like telling two friends a joke and one gets it instantly and the next take a new minutes to. And some people will give a short laugh and some a none stop laugh.

@@phoenix0547 or laugh longer than expected. Timing in comedy is everything. A pause from the actor two seconds longer can ruin the joke

Agreed, you don't see a comedian telling the audience that they're laughing at the wrong time 🤣

not only that but they would watch the same scene over and over so of course it gets unfunny and they gotta force it, thats not easy to time

@@phoenix0547 if some laughs at your "serious scene" you should think about its actual seriousness.

This thumbnail is a good comparison to excessive laugh tracks. Pointers and circles can be useful, but there's nothing in the thumbnail related to the subject matter. It's drawing attention to nothing.

Same thing that drives fashion, consumerism in general and is a basis for most advertising.

Which is why I didn't like Friends. I kept feeling stupid in scenes I didn't find funny until I stopped because it wasn't as funny as the laugh tracks make you believe.

I find the "don't tell me when to laugh" part of this a bit interesting. We mostly now scorn laugh tracks, however, we still praise musical scoring which often also guides (or attempts to guide) our feelings about individual scenes. We decry being guided as to when to laugh but accept being guided in how we feel. I find it a bit odd.

Its part of it, but have you ever gone to the cinema, or maybe a comedy show and everybody else is laughing along? Its just a different experience.

@@sam21462 Musical scores, unless they're intentionally going for bombastic, are subtler and could even provide insight and context. Plus there's a degree of appreciation for the artistry. Laugh tracks are meant to be intrusive and in your face and push one emotion. I think people are open to being asked to feel a certain way but hate being told "This is funny!"

Yes, but also I don't notice it when it's missing. I never would have guessed that "the Office" has no laugh track. Now I have to go back and re-watch it.

Nate Movies Yeah, ever watch a movie from the 60s or earlier. There all the *actors* are deceased.

That's deep, yo.

@@judsongaiden9878 no it's not.

@@crisleroi299 lol why did you bother replying to him "no its not."

I hear dead people

yep. laugh tracks were certainly often used as crutches for bad jokes. remove those crutches, and that forces the jokes to stand on their own merits.

It’s interesting just how painfully obvious a crutch it is when it’s taken out. Ever see clips of “Friends” or “The Big Bang Theory” without laughter? They’re akward and incredibly dry. Then on the other hand, you have a show like “MASH”, which, if you watch without the laughter, you’d never even know it was supposed to be there.

Aaron Stark that’s true to an extent, especially for the Big Bang theory. However, for shows like friends the show is designed to have laugh tracks so the actors pause when there is supposed to be a laugh track making it more awkward watching it without a laugh track

Some shows work well without it, Seinfeld is funny either way. But not all shows are that well written.

Today's TV is truly horrendous. AWFUL. Last good TV show was The Office, but it went downhill wh en Michael Scott left. Friends, I Love Lucy and others were live. If they used a laugh track, it was only to enhance. I love the old TV shows... there was a sweetness about th em and they were truly funny. Done with today's awful TV.

@@Victoria-so1in was that- was that a pun?

It would be a completely different show with laugh tracks. It wouldn't be funny at all...

Malcom in the Middle is master piece!

Well sure because it was documentary style.

But it isn’t awkward when watching alone...

That's why I love The Office, I can choose what is funny or not in the plot

hmmm... yeah... but i wonder... is part of the awkwardness the "missing" of a laugh track? Is part of the funniness of the scene due to defying the audience´s expactation, that in this scene, there would "normally" be a canned laugh. But there isnt. Haha. Kinda like that? Partially?

The UK version is excellent, the US version........pretty damn weak. :/

No laughing allowed

At least one Russian (soviet at the time) comedian used to say that western audiences didn't understand that something is a joke or funny unless comedian himself laughs.

For information - soviet comedies never used canned laughter, Russian shows started using it sometime in early 2000s, copy-pasting western tradition.

I THINK the big bang theory was the last show that used live audience

I felt the same way about threes company. Especially when there would be laughter or applause at inappropriate moments. I haven't watched that show in years so I'm not sure if it would still be funny to me, but looking back on it now I realized it was the canned laughter. Although.. I think I it may have been filmed in front of a live audience.

There's a live studio audience of 300 or 400 people watching the show being taped.

You used to be able to get tickets to see the shows filmed live and be part of the audience.

I remember being very concerned as a kid, that Dr Who's Tardis seemed to lack a bathroom.... very troubling, heh

Those laughs come from the elves living in the TV

You have never heard "The Jeffersons/ Three's Company/Cheers/Family ties/Silver Spoons/Charles in charge/Growing Pains/ect. is tape before a live studio audience" at the beginning of the show?

I've run into people like that. If you think this kind of laugh track is annoying, imagine dealing with it in real life.

Bruh I decided to watch a bit of nickelodeon like a few months ago and can confirm this, its like every show was poorly written, had shitty sets, and every five seconds there was a fucking laugh track, its a good thing other sitcoms have stopped using them before they further devolved into that trash

@@hijodelaisla275 And then people get up from the couch and laugh at themselves while talking about anything and expect you to laugh along even if it's not funny. Know those types. They train with tracks.

Definitely agree and also the the joke and when they do something is so lame they still use then laugh effect is overrated

Other Americans: -_-

exactly what i thought

Wait, there are other countries aside from America?

Revolution I'm pretty sure New York and California, but that's about it.

This video and channel feels very US-centric, or as I've coined the term as: "US-default". That is the mentality that everything, unless otherwise stated, is USA. That everyone is from USA, and that you can speak to anyone as if they're from USA. Some minor examples are when people references historic events. A Brit would call their civil war the "British civil war" on a video, because the audience are from across the world. But an American would can their civil war the "civil war", because everything is about USA, right? - This video shows this example by reference the "history of TV", when it's just the history of US TV (which might coincide with some other countries too). This isn't an exclusive American thing either. These ways of speaking does spread to other people around the world, and they also speak in this US-default mentality. Examples are the Brit that said the weight in stones (very British), but gave it in pounds for their "international viewers" (aka USA), while the majority of the world uses metric. Another example is (paraphrasing here), that "Bruce Lee is China's answer to Chuck Norris ... or rather that Chuck Norris is the rest of the world's answer to Bruce Lee", because Chuck Norris is an international citizen or something. It's stupid and should stop.

Not really if anything the laugh track makes you feel like you’re actually there

Yes! It's like the people who are making the show think we're to stupid to realize when something's supposed to be a joke.

I didn't even know that America had stopped using laugh tracks.

HAHAHAHAHAH!

It never bothered me either. Nothing wrong with a group of people laughing or reacting together. If you're at a movie, play or comedy club its the same, not everyone laughs at the same things, or to the same degree.

it was the brains of several people in jars, connected to various apparatus that when the peddle was pressed would zap the brains and interact with the hardware to create the laughs. A truly horrific device. That's why Andy Kaufman called it dead people laughing. Because it was always true. It wasn't just recordings of now dead people, but psuedo-undead preserved people laughing.

@Salvador Luna my opinion is laugh tracks aren't funny ever

@Salvador Luna I remember one year when Cartoon Network was running Fullmetal Alchemist and for April Fool's Day they inserted fart noises into the episodes. The problem was they added those noises into pretty much EVERY break between lines of dialogue, completely overdoing it. Laugh tracks are the same way. The problem never was them being used, it was them being used *too often.* Live audience reactions were unpredictable (an editor's worst nightmare) but that's part of what made them authentic. If you're recording in front of a live audience (cheers if you are, pun intended) BUT are intentionally prompting the studio audience to laugh (cry, gasp, aww, etc.) then it's not actually an authentic reaction, and the broadcast audience at home WILL eventually learn how to tell.

I was thinking the exact same thing!

MrGlasspider Finally Americans are embracing the British ‘no laugh track’ format of comedy.

Hahahahahhhahhh
