      It’s like removing a laugh track from an old sitcom.

        It’s better, because here the underlying pacing isn’t left ruined after the removal.

          Also, depending on your definition of ‘old,’ that laugh track might be a live studio audience rather than canned laughter.

      Here I was thinking my smile and exhale through the nose made me a soulless cold fish, 5 minutes of not breathing laughing is hard to compare oneself tol
