Do you prefer having a laugh track played during a TV show or none at all.?

Question

I was watching Disney channel with my sister today and they play the freaking laugh track every 5 seconds, even though I didn't find anything to be funny. I'm not sure if I'm too stupid to comprehend their jokes or something.
Anyways, I prefer not having one unless I live alone and have no friends. That way I will feel as though there's someone in the room laughing with me.

Answer 1

I don't really watch shows with 'laugh tracks'. I like live-studio sitcoms, though (like Married with Children, Friends, etc.).

Answer 2

I usually prefer tv shows without the laugh track, like The Office. The awkward silences instead of the laughing make it a hundred times funnier.

Answer 3

I like both. Shows that play a laugh track or are filmed in front of a studio audience, like Friends for example, are hilarious. On the other hand, The Office's mockumentary format is fricken hilarious.

Answer 4

Laugh tracks are fine when appropriate. If they abuse them without being funny, then it's very annoying. A good/funny show won't have a noticeable laugh track.

Answer 5

I don't like laugh tracks at all. I find them really annoying. Most of the time there are laugh tracks when nothing is funny anyway.

Answer 6

I actually like the laugh track. I always laugh when other people laugh, so a laugh track means I can enjoy the show even if it's not actually funny.

Thumbs downs are forthcoming.

Answer 7

I think it would be awkward without the laugh track

Answer 8

Laugh tracks are a sign of poor humor

Answer 9

I prefer not to have it because its really annoying. And they play it when nothing is even funny -_-

That's actually kinda one of my pet peeves haha.

Its like, can I just laugh when something is funny!?!?

Answer 10

Nope. I find them annoying.
