Laugh Now

What’s the point of a laugh track? Sure, they’re good for the show, but do they really do anything for the viewers? Having a laugh track in a show means two things. The jokes aren’t good enough so they need to feed you simulated laughter. Of course this can’t be the real reason because that would mean the writers are the one who wrote the jokes, and it is never their fault. So the next possible reason is that they think you are too dumb and do not know when to laugh. If they could, they would have you buy a neon sign attachment for your television that would light up every time they wanted you to laugh.

But why are there only laugh tracks? How about something new, like a cry track? When an especially sad scene comes on, you hear multiple people sobbing their hearts out. Or a shock track? When something disgusting, like 2 girls 1 cup, is being shown you hear people yelling out in disgust. Maybe even have one or two sounds of people barfing.

I did manage to come up with something good about laugh tracks. If you’re watching a show alone, it might be nice to get that feeling you’re watching with other people. However, if this actually affects you like this, you’re probably super lonely.

Now all I need is a comment track that makes people comment.
