Surprised Pikachu - Lemmy

If I learned one thing, when talking with people about stuff like that: Most people unfortunately don’t care. Many don’t even have an ad blocker to begin with.
ah, time for a re-watch I guess
What is this from?

The it crowd

Have a good binge

It’s one of the last of the laugh track comedies. Wondering what kids of the future are going to think about shows like that.

Laugh tracks and audiences are the worst.

If your show requires prompting on when to laugh, it’s probably not as funny as you think.

Many shows just aren’t that funny when you take out the laughing, and if you were to cut all the awkward pauses the show would be 7 minutes shorter.

“rolling laughter” is a technique you have to learn as a live performer for a reason. TV shows at the time had to bridge the gap as the 80s/90s invention of stand up as an art form set the tone for how comedy should be.

It’s not that it was always bad, it’s just that culture changed. Same as how a Jacobite audient would find it real weird we watch theatre inside(!), sitting down(!!) and not talking during the show(!!!).
