I’m talking about laugh tracks. They are fake. The sound of laughter is homogenous. If you listen to a real audience, some people laugh louder, some softer. Also with laugh tracks, you can tell someone is turning a volume knob or slider on a mixer. It’s all fake.
I feel like laugh tracks are way to manipulate the audience. The reason they have to manipulate the audience is the joke wasn’t all that funny. If you don’t have a laugh track or a live audience then you have to actually be funny. Your jokes actually have to make people laugh in an organic way.
laughing has been show to be a social activity which is why almost all comedies have a fake or real audience
