Re: Laugh tracks, how do you feel about them?

[(Anonymous)]

OP

I'm using canned laughter and laugh track interchangeably. I've always taken the 'track' in laugh track to imply it was prerecorded. But, I think bringing up studio audiences is a good topic of discussion, too.

For me, I'm cool with a studio audience and their laughter as long as I can see them. Otherwise, even if they're used well, it breaks the fourth wall and distracts me. But a narrator doesn't bother me.

Again, that distinction is really hard to make, and a lot of laughing people on shows that people complain about are actually studio audiences.

ayrt

That's true. There's a lot of in between with a studio audience and canned laughter, but it's pretty clear cut for me at what point I'm okay with (laughter with a visible source) and what I'm not (laughter with an invisible source). But that distinction's different for everyone.

Re: Laugh tracks, how do you feel about them?

[(Anonymous)]

Well, that distinction is silly.

Sorry. Taste is taste, whatever you like is fine. As long as you're not talking about how all laughter is terrible, or (especially) as long as you're not talking about how all shows with laugh tracks are stupid, unintelligent, lowest-common-denominator trash, like a lot of people do.

So, as far as seeing the laugh-ers goes, you mean you don't mind the laughing audience on Whose Line Is It Anyway, for example, but not laughter on a sit-com that comes from a live audience that the camera never shows?

Re: Laugh tracks, how do you feel about them?

[(Anonymous)]

Yeah, that's exactly it. If the audience and their laughter are an established and acknowledged part of the universe I'm okay with it. Otherwise, I feel like it needlessly breaks the fourth wall and find it mildly distracting. There's a bit in between where badly used canned laughter is worse than say a non-visible live audience, but the difference visible versus non-visible laughter is the most noticeable for me.

I'll still watch good shows with non-visible audiences, though. It's a just a bit of a turn off.
