Yes, the umbilical brothers are really good. I'd never heard of them.

The 'reaction' part adds nothing, though, and only takes away by saying wow (and taking views off the original poster). It's like someone finally made a way of making laugh tracks much much worse while costing the show far far more.

Rant over. Checking out more Umbilical Brothers to relax.

"The Tonight Show never has used a laugh track, and still does not. What is different from the past is applause cues. The audience is told when to applause, and they even hire professionals to sit in the front row."

"Letterman was in fact the first one to adopt applause cues when he moved to CBS. Basically a sign placed above the audience that tells them when to cheer or make noise. The idea is that it keeps the show moving with no dead air."

Can't stand Fallon with his own laugh tracks

Robocop with laugh track has been added as a related post - related requested by ant on that post.

Interesting....isn't he saying that mainly white areas tend to be better? That seems to be a fairly racist position.
Odd that he mentions areas all over the country, but details only from southern states, as if the whole nation is historically racist like the secessionist states.
Let's talk Vermont, who actively encourages non white immigration and those who go tend to report being treated kindly with respect, yet they're still far below average in diversity.
I live in Humboldt county, which is much whiter than average. I can't figure out why more non whites don't move here unless it's a lack of development and services. Those I've known were happy here and saw less racism than they had in major cities.

The laugh track addition is just dumb and inappropriate. Often the shot of the crowd showed them sitting quietly while raucous laughter erupted from the track over nothing funny.

The laugh track has been edited and obviously the zooms and ominous music, but yeah this is from a real episode.

I like Star Wars better with the laugh track, as in this original take. They should have left it in.

the laugh track is pretty distracting...

Wow, these guys are terrible.....they're terrible as segways and editing. and their comedy needs a laugh-track because I didn't know where I was supposed to laugh. And they could benefit from MUCH better writing....

I cannot for the life of me fathom how anyone could ever like tbbt , its the most boring repetetive recipe-sitcom ever . Bad , over the top sterotyped characters crap "jokes" propped up by canned laughter .. if the laugh track wasnt there , you wouldnt even notice there was a joke there . WHY?? WHY IS THIS CRAP POPULAR??!

Weird. I remember watching the unedited version of the Comedy Central special and I remember feeling terrible for him because it seemed that the crowd did not "get it"; I think this is filled with laugh tracks even though it's "uncut".

Is this missing a laugh track?

Either that's the worlds shittiest laugh track or there are some seriously retarded people in that room he's in.

Oh, and fuck Trump and Hillary and everyone else in politics.

Less laugh-track, please.
