[QUOTE]Today I noticed how frequently laugh tracks are used in shows and how ****ing annoying it is if you actually pay attention.[/QUOTE]

but how are we supposed to know how stuff is funny otherwise

Hello thread :wave:

sorry to hear about your troubles Jelle. Hope things improve for you soon.

All of the funniest shows are without laugh tracks.

What a coincidence!

Yeah well, things get better eventually. I hope.

I have laughing tracks.

TojesDolan is filmed in front of a live studio audience.

I hate those laugh tracks with a passion. Once I loose focus on the show and pay attention to the laugh tracks, I just turn off the TV before I get angry.

Live laughter on shows like the Daily Show/Colbert Report or on shows like Jay Leno and Conan are fine though.

I dunno, some good shows have laugh tracks.

Austin is just bitter because he's doing as bad as me, just without the sex.

The only one I dont really mind is Seinfeld. In fact it is one of my favorite shows. It ruins a lot of them though, at least for me.

Yeah, I had Seinfeld in mind, for one. I hardly notice it. I don't mind it at all. It wouldn't be a sitcom without it.

The Mr. Bean laughter is the best. Especially that presumably big, fat guy who gets the joke a second before everyone else. Those who have watched the series will know what I mean. "Hwuh hahahah ha ha" *general laughter starts*

Yeah, I like to pick out peculiar laughs as well. Apparently they recorded all those laugh tracks aaages ago and basically you're listening to a bunch of dead people laughing.

I have only seen the movie :(

The series are far superior.

Yeah, when the series was first made they sat people down in a cinema and played all the episodes for them. They might not be dead but they're certainly not the trendy, Mr. Bean-watching hipsters they were back in the late '80s.

Well, at least all the episodes they already had made. The later episodes have different laughter.

I loved the moive when i was younger and I still find it really funny. I guess I would love the series then.

No, no. I mean the laugh tracks used in most shows.

Maybe they recorded their own for Mr. Bean, possible, but the ones that are most used is by an audience that is pretty much passed away.

That's what I read, anyway.

Is it that old? :\

Hah, '97. Hmm. I think I remember it coming out, but maybe I'm thinking of Johnny English. (no i don't mean the second bean movie)

[QUOTE]I say Nostalgia should be banned again.[/QUOTE]

Who said this?

Nope, they're all dead

Your mum.

Oh, well I know a few laugh tracks might be that way, like Happy Days. But you can tell the difference between canned laughter and live laughter.

I dont remember if it was '97, but it is at least 6 to 10 years old putting me in the 9 to 13 year old range.

Why can't you just accept my goddamn useless fact.

I remember the first Bean movie coming out. It had the little guy from Numb3rs and Ally McBeal in it.

EDIT: COS IT IS ONLY A HALF-TRUTH, JELLE

Why don't I make your teeth a half truth

who else loves the pogues? I'm pissed because I didn't get to see them when they were here, and I'm sure by next time MacGowan's dead.[/QUOTE]

I think that every time I see them play somewhere, but he just keeps on living and they always come back.

It's a lot quieter than the film.

Anyone into idiot pilot? Their new cd wolves is pretty damn good.

Email me @ [email]shenanigan509@msn.com[/email]

if you want.

Shane MacGowan never dies, but he does get kicked out of the band bi-annually it seems.

It was better when he never talked. My absolute favourite Mr. Bean skit is the public pool with the high-dive board.

Well, I hope they come back and that my friends are not too faggy to come along then.

[QUOTE]It was better when he never talked. My absolute favourite Mr. Bean skit is the public pool with the high-dive board.[/QUOTE]

I like the skits where he's inventive. Like making his sandwich from stuff in his pockets or getting rid of his dinner in a restaurant.

Or making christmas treats!

EDIT: no! my favourite is the one in the hotel, I think. Ah heck, I love them all.

[QUOTE=Riva;15175952]It was better when he never talked.[/QUOTE]

Well he rarely talks even in the film, but that, and fact that the only other major character was a teddy bear.

[QUOTE=Riva]My absolute favourite Mr. Bean skit is the public pool with the high-dive board.[/QUOTE]

Don't think I could choose. That one is especially good, but then I remember the New Year's sales, the turkey, decorating his flat, going back to school.. there's an awful lot it's up against.

I've not seen it in ages and now I want to watch it :(
