Comment on Comedy shows have laugh tracks cuz they aren't that funny
Kintarian@lemmy.world 4 weeks agoI feel like laugh tracks are way to manipulate the audience. The reason they have to manipulate the audience is the joke wasn’t all that funny. If you don’t have a laugh track or a live audience then you have to actually be funny. Your jokes actually have to make people laugh in an organic way.

The reason they have to manipulate the audience is because people look for validation and so feel good when other people react to things in the same way as them. A laugh track can’t save a terrible show, but it can manipulate people into finding a mediocre show funny, but a mediocre show will make people laugh organically at least a few times anyway
