via wikiped 'ier "A laugh track (a.k.a. canned laughter, laughter soundtrack, laughter track, LFN [laughter from nowhere], laugh in a can, laughing audience, fake laughter) is a separate soundtrack invented by Charles "Charley" Douglass, with the artificial sound of audience laughter, made to be inserted into TV comedy shows and sitcoms. The first American television show to incorporate a laugh track was the American sitcom The Hank McCune Show in 1950. "

I just love this skit. His intonation is hilarious. Shame the laughter track is to terrible.

Agreed, though it's almost grown on me -- almost, mind you, but not quite.

Laughter track ftl

could do without the laughter track

I never got into this programme and it annoys me because it's got all the right ingredients.
They should've definitely dropped the laughter track.
*sigh*

Still not sure how the BBC managed to add a laughter track to a Channel 4 program though...
