Editing out the laugh track and leaving silence isn't really fair. The use of the laugh track creates the kind of comedy they are going for. It wouldnt be right if you added laughs to The Office because comedy is about timing and these two shows are editing using different ideas of comedic timing.
The problem with these kinds of videos is that, it can generally be replicated with most shows out there, including the generally funny ones :P Plus the fact that they mute the talking takes away from the moment as well
This is brilliant. The fact that you added in some ambient sounds to replace the dead silence makes it blend together quiet well. The show just doesn't make sense when you take away the laugh track. It could even be an incredibly bleak drama now.
This is show is filmed in front of a live studio audience. Watch some of the blooper reals. There is one where Penny/Kaley say "its tail" instead of "his tail" and the director says cut, "you missed the words" and she says "but they all still laughed!" defending her mistake.
@BookShed No a ton of show without laugh tracks are hilarious with pauses. It's the fact that the show tries so hard to force unfunny "nerdy" references into everything. And the fact that the comedic timing is just flat out not there.
Even Friends and Seinfeld is weird without a laugh track, and ER and horror films are hilarious with it. Does that make Friends and Seinfeld terrible sitcoms also? And ER and horror films, such as The Shining, funny? Sitcoms with laugh tracks are purposely written so that the laugh track can facilitate the jokes and help the audience understand where the jokes are.
You guys fighting, you're all idiots; family guy is genius, and tbbt is hilarious, yes the laugh track attempts to make it a laugh a second but the way I watch it I don't let the laugh track force me and therefore properly enjoy the genuinely funny moments of which there are many. Ok so its not the office (UK) or scrubs, but those were true perfections which are almost impossible to compete with, and in any case tbbt is still much better than a lot of the other rubbish on tv...
@drumwindsurf4life Im too lazy to argue on the interenet today so just know this. You are a dumbass with no sense of comedic worth and these shows being less shitty that other piles of shit on tv is no excuse as it does not change the fact that the show is still shit.
@MagWrath Then why are you arguing? Sorry I don't "know this" as this is apocryphal; please don't insult me in such a ridiculous manner. All well and good as that is your opinion, but I would much prefer you to back up your arguments and give them some substance. "No sense of comedic worth" implies that you believe The Office (UK) and Scrubs to be "shit" as well as TBBT; surely this cannot be the case? (<-- rhetorical question, so please, don't bother answering it, as with my previous query).
@MagWrath Further, I was not stating it as an excuse (as I enjoy TBBT), rather, I was informing those who dislike it, that they could be watching a lot worse.
@MagWrath Oh dear, a great showing of high intelligence from you here (<-- sarcasm as you wouldn't get it otherwise, as I have already explained, and before you argue against sarcasm being the lowest form of wit I propose the hypothesis which many have before that sarcasm is in fact to know it all). How can you assume of me a pretentiousness when, by your own admission, you haven't even read my comments; surely that is you being pretentious?
@MagWrath Ambiguity certainly doesn't help your case. Now please stop replying; all you do is insult idiotically. The reason I am replying is to defend a show I see as brilliant and also to hopefully see if some sense can't be bashed into that saxum you call a brain. jeeeeeez
@drumwindsurf4life who the fuck are you even trying to impress? You arent worth even a modicum of the amount of brainpower I have. It's actually far more satisfying to watch you spaz around and argue with your idea of what essentially is a fictional man. But I grow weary of this shit now as I often two so once again. Suck my dick I got bigger fish to fry.
@MagWrath Lol, are you serious? Can one person be so mind numbingly ridiculous? I am not trying to impress anyone; what gave you such an impression? Is it my use of language, perhaps the (obviously to you seemingly random) Latin word in my response? Well, if so, let me clear things up for you - I am myself at all times, whether it be with my friends, with someone of authority, or on the internet. I am someone who has studied/studies many languages, including Latin.
@MagWrath In everyday life I often use words from other languages for my own entertainment and also to help me further my abilities and understandings of the languages; I enjoy language greatly and therefore it is of great pleasure to me to explore other languages by, in my everyday life, comparing and contrasting them with other languages - I hope that cleared things up for you. I enjoy TBBT and understand it's flaws yet I get past them, that is my way of doing things.
Wow, now I see how stupid this show actually is. Not funny at all. Hmm, I stopped watching it anyways. The laugh track kind of makes you feel forced to think something is funny. I liked the shows because I can rwlate but I'm sick of it now. Watch Scrubs, not Season 9 of course, but the other 8, that show didn't need a laugh track and it was hilarious yet it could bring tears to you eyes.
I still find the show funny but without the laughtracks it just makes it seem like a soap opera lol Plus it would be better if there weren't pauses for the laugh track, it would make it a little less awekward. I don't understand laugh tracks really, I mean, movies don't have them and we still laugh at those, why do comedy show's need them?
This show would be much less stupid without laughter, just laugh at what you want to laugh, what kind of insecure person needs hearing laughing for enjoying a show.
The only people who find this show funny are people who don't play video games and people who somehow think Star Trek and Star Wars references are cool.
Playing Mario 64 on an emulator with a laptop and no controller, how is he smart & how is this funny? Without the laughtrack you really get a sense of how depressing a nerd's life really is...
I use emulators everyday and it's not a joke. How could it be "poorly coded"? My emulator runs fine. I also don't know how he stands playing a N64 game on a keyboard, I HAVE to use a usb controller. I really don't understand.
@xHenri Now you're getting it! Most of their fans just laugh at the jokes because they're too stupid to figure out that they don't get the joke. My family watches this show every day. None of them understand a single joke.
He never said knowing what an emulator is makes him smart. He has a point. By normal people he must have meant "non-nerds." Even knowing what that is it's not really funny.
Oh and ratings mean nothing - people watch this shit because they're braindead, they sit diligently in front of their TV screens every week and tune into the same geek references rehashed into a 'new episode' because they're scared of anything different. The laugh track holds their hand and guides them when to laugh like the stupid sheep they are. Forget subtlety, or implicit humour, forget clever references to an old TV show perhaps. "STAR WARS IS BETTER THAN GIRLS." "HURR HURR FUCKING HURR!!!"
This show is so fucking dumb. Putting a laugh track after every sentence doesn't make something funny. Peep Show and The Office (UK) are undoubtedly the smartest and funniest sitcoms ever made and they have everything this does not, including the absence of a laugh track. I hate this show passionately, it epitomises everything bad in sitcoms, it's the perfect example of lazy American showwriting, and it dresses itself up as smart because it contain half-assed geek references. Fuck TBBT.
I don't see what the problem with laugh tracks is, it just gives a pause so you don't have to miss other dialogue while you're laughing. Bring on the hate.
@AMadTacoFilms maybe you're the retard for not understanding that not everyone has the same points of view. A majority think the show is funny, point made.
@TheCrackerBrony It's predictable and poorly thought out. How the character "Sheldon" for example, forces the straining of his voice. The stereotype of how pathetic the male characters are around girl etc, "I'm going to play N64" Oh HA HA what genius writing... "I have a date" "oh that's fine I have 3 controllers" Like come on you would have to be half brain dead to find this crap funny. Not liking this poor humor makes me a family guy fanboy? Right...
@mattcat234 it's also opinion on what's funny and what's not. but this show got ratings off the charts, you're one of the very few that says it's not funny just to get attention and try and be different, kind of like a hipster. pretty pathetic, you must have not gotten much attention as a child
@TheCrackerBrony Im not looking for attention, I stumbled onto the video and wanted to see how the show was without a laugh track. Like you said it's just an opinion and that's what I wrote here in the comment section. You're the one going on the offensive replying to my comment to start with making silly assumptions about me like family guy... I want attention? why because I commented on a video? If your theory is correct then why would you "give" me that attention by replying to my comments?
It does seem a lot less lively without the laugh track. It was also weird seeing them silently waiting for the inaudible laugh to end before speaking their next line.
"Hey if I liked science and video games I would be socially awkward and unable to interact normally with people" = Thought process of the The Big Bang Theory writers.
Maybe they do, based on outtakes I tend to doubt it (why the hell would they use canned laughter there) plus people tend to laugh differently when they are in company.
The title of this video is a lie. Even if they add "top up" laughter to the show then it is still a lie.
The laughs are genuine, if you don't share the audience's taste then watch something else! I never watch "Two and a Half men" or "How I met your mother" because I don't find them funny, my advice is to follow suit.
@TheOmegajuice Its all good dude, the video just wants to show how "Big Bang Theory" would work without all the laughter (no matter if fake or real). Not more, not less. I personaly prefer to watch shows without laughter, because I feel like jokes got a better effect on me this way. But I realy like "Big Bang Theory" anyway! Just like you (and please excuse my poor english)!
@TheOmegajuice Not all parts are filled with laugh tracks, albeit some, but not all. It's filmed in front of a live audience some days, and by themselves for others. It's a really typical sitcom staple...and I hate sitcom staples. You should check out Community instead, where the characters who seem like stereotypes on the outside have more dimensions and facets as you watch along, and to mention the jokes are funny that don't need a laugh track to tell you when to laugh.
Why do people always insist that I watch something "instead" rather than "as well".
Btw I'm British and I don't think that Community is a show we get over here.
I'm fairly sure they only started to show Big Bang Theory on the terrestrial channels last year. I'm check it out if it even comes here though. Fortunately, British TV is not short of funny programming.
@TheOmegajuice Well if you said, I like the UK Office or Spaced or Breaking Bad etc..., then I would say 'as well', but you said BBT so I said 'instead'. But at least you share with me the same hatred for Two and a Half Men and How I Met Your Mother.
The napoleon material was clever, does sheldon have a napoleon complex?
The pause sound made me smile.
"listen to yourself" again, funny to me.
Second pause sound, hah.
Bear claws. Literally finding any excuse to justify his self-imposed position.
I'm just enabling you. Almost makes me feel sorry for the guy.
This show is actually quite a bit better without the laugh track, it gets in the way of the content of the humor and turns what might be interesting and somewhat funny into SO FAHNNY JOEK.
Have you ever noticed how even though Sheldon sounds "smart" when he uses a bunch of ridiculously long words, when you understand him most of the things he says aren't that intellectual or funny?
I realize that if you did this with any sitcom they would all seem unfunny, so I don't get the point of doing this to single out a show that's won Emmy awards.
@SomaticPsycho But other sitcoms at least TRY and make jokes. This is just someone with aspergers saying big words and giving off the wrong image of a 'nerd'.
@TheWorldOfJames Or you should watch a show that doesn't tell you when to laugh, that makes you think, and have to watch twice or three times to get all the jokes and appreciate it. Yes, I know, TV is a distraction and shouldn't make the viewer focus all their attention to it, TV is meant for drooling and very little thinking, but there are shows that go against that that you should check out: Arrested Development, Firefly, Community...I could go on and on.
A show titled after a cosmological theory in science is somehow dumber than a show titled after community college. Oh, and while I'm at it: save-community . com
Big bang theory is such a comedic waste of time. Without their overly annoying attempt to force the laughter out of us... there really is nothing to look forward to in this show.
@utukk I think it should be noted that there's a difference between shooting a show with no audience (in spite of claims to the contrary, this is where the laughter comes from on BBT) and muting at the first sign of laughter. No matter the quality of the writing, the latter will tend to result in people not laughing.
@CocoaNutCakery Just because a show is "filmed in front of a live studio audience" doesn't mean they don't add laughs via laugh track. It's clear that they do. You can hear laugh sequences repeat pretty frequently. It's not like they hid it.
@ilovereospeedwagon OR you could do some actual research into the matter rather than throwing out random accusations and find that TBBT tends to tone down audience laughter.
Just because you can't tell the difference between one instance of laughter and another doesn't mean that it's a laugh track. There's a reason why scientific analysis of things like sound isn't done by asking some random guy if he thinks that something he's hearing sounds like something he heard before.
i totally agree, i dont really like this show, i dont dislike it either for me it's na... on the other way i really love community, i think is the best comedy show right now... i really think you should watch it... and there is no laugh track.

@endow85
Maybe they do, based on outtakes I tend to doubt it (why the hell would they use canned laughter there) plus people tend to laugh differently when they are in company.
The title of this video is a lie. Even if they add "top up" laughter to the show then it is still a lie.
The laughs are genuine, if you don't share the audience's taste then watch something else! I never watch "Two and a Half men" or "How I met your mother" because I don't find them funny, my advice is to follow suit.
TheOmegajuice 1 month ago
@TheOmegajuice Its all good dude, the video just wants to show how "Big Bang Theory" would work without all the laughter (no matter if fake or real). Not more, not less. I personaly prefer to watch shows without laughter, because I feel like jokes got a better effect on me this way. But I realy like "Big Bang Theory" anyway! Just like you (and please excuse my poor english)!
endow85 1 month ago
@TheOmegajuice Not all parts are filled with laugh tracks, albeit some, but not all. It's filmed in front of a live audience some days, and by themselves for others. It's a really typical sitcom staple...and I hate sitcom staples. You should check out Community instead, where the characters who seem like stereotypes on the outside have more dimensions and facets as you watch along, and to mention the jokes are funny that don't need a laugh track to tell you when to laugh.

Why do people always insist that I watch something "instead" rather than "as well".
Btw I'm British and I don't think that Community is a show we get over here.
I'm fairly sure they only started to show Big Bang Theory on the terrestrial channels last year. I'm check it out if it even comes here though. Fortunately, British TV is not short of funny programming.
TheOmegajuice 1 month ago
@TheOmegajuice Well if you said, I like the UK Office or Spaced or Breaking Bad etc..., then I would say 'as well', but you said BBT so I said 'instead'. But at least you share with me the same hatred for Two and a Half Men and How I Met Your Mother.

This show is actually quite a bit better without the laugh track, it gets in the way of the content of the humor and turns what might be interesting and somewhat funny into SO FAHNNY JOEK.

I realize that if you did this with any sitcom they would all seem unfunny, so I don't get the point of doing this to single out a show that's won Emmy awards.

@TheWorldOfJames Or you should watch a show that doesn't tell you when to laugh, that makes you think, and have to watch twice or three times to get all the jokes and appreciate it. Yes, I know, TV is a distraction and shouldn't make the viewer focus all their attention to it, TV is meant for drooling and very little thinking, but there are shows that go against that that you should check out: Arrested Development, Firefly, Community...I could go on and on.

utukk 2 months ago
@utukk I think it should be noted that there's a difference between shooting a show with no audience (in spite of claims to the contrary, this is where the laughter comes from on BBT) and muting at the first sign of laughter. No matter the quality of the writing, the latter will tend to result in people not laughing.
CocoaNutCakery 2 months ago
@CocoaNutCakery Just because a show is "filmed in front of a live studio audience" doesn't mean they don't add laughs via laugh track. It's clear that they do. You can hear laugh sequences repeat pretty frequently. It's not like they hid it.
ilovereospeedwagon 2 months ago 6
@ilovereospeedwagon OR you could do some actual research into the matter rather than throwing out random accusations and find that TBBT tends to tone down audience laughter.
Just because you can't tell the difference between one instance of laughter and another doesn't mean that it's a laugh track. There's a reason why scientific analysis of things like sound isn't done by asking some random guy if he thinks that something he's hearing sounds like something he heard before.
