Canned laughter, ugh


It's killing me.
But I'm slogging thru, because I love Bill Bailey.

It's a live audience. Check out the outtakes

Thanks for the heads up. I was about to add it to my Netflix queue but "The Ranch" did me in with the canned laughter. I agree - ugh. It's not only annoying, it's insulting...like we need to be told when to laugh.

Oh, here's a laugh for you. Some friends and I decided to request tickets to "The Jerry Springer Show" when I lived in Chicago. The show we attended never aired because it was VERY INAPPROPRIATE, even by Springer standards. They had someone come out with cue cards to tell us when to clap, boo or get rowdy. No joke. As if watching a stage full of family members talk about their inbreeding would not lead to a strong audience response without cue cards!

Huh? It was a live audience.

Yeah, canned laughter distracts. Fortunately it was the only downside to the first episode.

Why are people still referring to it as canned?? Have you not seen previous comments?
