Hey everyone I just read Chuck Klostermans article about laugh tracks and i was able to realize that how us Americans add on fake laughs to sitcoms so people can laugh at it. Also in this article it talks about how he went to Germany and seen how there sense of humors is. That the Germany's only laugh at things that think is just really funny but as us Americans laugh at almost everything. What I think about this is that fake laughs is something that helps out the audience get the jokes in sitcoms better. Its just like when someone tells a joke and the person they saying it to doesn't understand the joke the first time but if someone else was there too and laughed at the joke the one that didn't get it the first time will end up getting it too. So when I watch sitcoms I find it funny when they do fake laughs because I will then realize a different joke that i wouldn't had understand if they didn't have that in there.
Here is a link to a sitcom that has fake laugh on it and I will say it makes it a lot better...http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IMIYJPopgDs&feature=related
