    Not really. When the laughs are removed you just realize it’s racism, sexism, and juvenile jokes all in one.

      Sure, but also it becomes very unfunny even without that facet due to the awkward pauses. The pacing just gets mutilated as they ‘pause for laughter’.

      A common trope is that some scene is just ‘funny’ with the laugh track, but without it, people just seem psycho, because they sit there, noiselessly after so many sentences.
