      Friends without a laugh track is 1000% funnier.

      Especially Ross…who becomes basically a serial killer vibe.

      In The Big Bang Theory without the laugh track, Raj becomes just a huuuuuuge asshole.

          Here’s the scary part…I’ve never seen THAT clip. I only saw 3 others without laugh track that were much worse than that one in terms of how much of an ass he was.

            Now that you mention it… His character does tend to have offensive humour statements.

        To be fair, with or without a laugh track, TBBT is depressing as fuck. I feel incredibly sorry for the faith of most characters.

      There was a great take on one of these called “Everybody Hates Raymond”

      It was the show Everybody Loves Ramon but the laugh track was completely replaced with boos and was frickin hilarious. I think it got removed from YouTube though cuz I haven’t been able to find it for years.

      Holy shit, this is much better than the original!!! Damn, I should rewatch the series like this. Where can I find all of it without the laugh track?

      Edit: I have to add, the long pauses make it a bit annoying. With the laugh track the pauses aren’t noticeable (to me at least; my girlfriend did notice the long pauses even with the laugh track, and it was annoying to her).

        The pauses are there because it’s not a “laugh track”, it’s a live audience. That’s not to say it’s 100% genuine laughter, but they’re pausing so the laughter doesn’t bury the dialogue.

        Timing and pacing are inherently different when there’s a laugh track. You can’t just silence the laughter or cut the time range. In some cases, you have to rework the joke.
