I got to be honest, after having enough of the laughter in the episodes and then seeing this video, the audience gives the show more lift. It's just plain dull and boring without them. The audience is still fake to me though.
@sessi0000 totally agree... the laughing track/audience in the shows annoys the shit out of me but after watching this I see how much life it gives to the show... still too loud tho
Every single bit of produced media has ambient and background sound effects. You don´t notice them when the´re there but you notice it when the´re gone, complete silence is always going to be awkward. So... this experiment will not work unless you edit some ambience/room tone/background noise/foly sound effects :)
I guess most laugh-track sitcoms sans laugh-track would, but this seems especially Pinteresque because so many of Sheldon's lines are bizarre non sequiturs.
the missing laugh track doesn't hurt the jokes, it's the fact that many of the jokes in this scene are running gags throughout the episode, so they don't make sense unless you saw the whole episode.
thats because most if not all sitcoms have been leaving a second or two after lines for laughter for decades... our brains are just used to it so it doesn't seem like there's actually extra time, until u get rid of the laughter... lol
@sarahlunaslim thats because most if not all sitcoms have been leaving a second or two after lines for laughter for decades... our brains are just used to it so it doesn't seem like there's actually extra time, until u get rid of the laughter... lol
This is like watching a group of school geeks being held in a zoo pen for all the cool kids to laugh at. With the odd weak reference to nerd culture delivered via a violent jab in the ribs and a punchline screamed at the audience's face with all the subtlety of a school pantomime. But everyone's different, some find that funny.
it sounds like dead air moments without at least ambient noise and the characters natural scoffs and what not.. but I get the point of this. The laughtrack is key for the show.
Funny how the Office idiots don't notice that show too has a gimmick. You know what the Office would be like without the nauseating constant zoom-in/zoom-out of the camera every 2 seconds? The awkward silences would be DEAFENING.
Trust me, The Office (and anything with Steve Carell in it) is about as low-brow as they come.
Do you people understand that it doesn't matter is it canned laughter or "live" laughter? You hear it because the studios know that shows wouldn't be funny without them. And they're right! In fact, it's so NOT funny without laughter that it becomes funny because of it. Some of you may find this still funny (although much less than with laughter) but that is only because you watched it for so long and are conditioned to it. Really, watching this video it's clear the show sucks, except Sheldon.
The reason why BBT takes so much flack for using a canned track is because the laughter they use is often a genuine audience response which is louder than an actual laugh track.
The Office idiots always forget that the Office replaces the laughtrack with an equally poorly executed gimmick: shaky cams and nauseating repetitive zoom-ins/zoom-outs every half a second.
And they bitch like they were the first show to not use a laughtrack as if that's some stroke of fucking genius that magically makes a garbage show funny. Har.
I thought it was actually funny without the laughter. Infact, it seemed that it was edited to make the pauses seem more tense than they actually were.
Part of what makes this so awkward is that the sound is completely muted when the laughter is cut out without the "non-talk sounds" from people and the background noises.
I don't understand what's wrong with having bg laugher. Without, it's like watching a comedy theatre play alone in the audience. It's about group experience. It enhances it and makes it better.
@teemue television is an exaggeration of the social cues of laughter, smiling faces and attention-grabbing action - what it's really giving you is the junk food equivalent of a group experience. It's fun and it feels good to watch it, though, so it's probably fine - it's not like anyone turned out weird or socially awkward from having TV as their only interest
Since it's filmed in front of a live audience, it's extra awkward. You'll have to cut out absolutely ALL the sounds between the lines, which makes it as unnatural as this. Just keep that in mind, it's not this tense on set.
I would advise all of you to watch the special features of season 4, you will see they actually DO NOT use a laugh track and they DO act in front of a live audience, just because they edit out the sound of the laughter doesn't mean it was on a track...
I think were beyond laugh tracks, i really dont get why we need them. To be honest i dont see why we ever needed them. I like this show btw and other that have a laugh track just think its kind of useless.
People this is meant to be a joke, he obviously didnt think anyone would think this is the show without a laugh track.
@mrfuzzer1 some shows don't have room in studio to perform in front of a live audience. This is the case with How I met Your Mother. THey use so many sets and flash back and fourth in and episode so much that it makes more since to just use a laugh track. It also depends on how many cameras a show uses. A multi-camera show uses A live audience, becasue the mutiple cameras record the crowd audio and they can layer the laughter better on the show.
@mrfuzzer1 a single camera show, has to use a laugh track, because all the coverage of a scene is shot with one camera. This means an audience would have to watch the same scence many, many, many times, while each character delivers their lines to camera seperalty. And shows that use audience still use tracks to suppliment a crowds reaction to a joke. And of course some shows don't use a track or audience, like The Office, or Scrubs, or 30 rock. Hope this helped.
What a lot of people don't realize is the "awkward pauses" wouldn't be there if there was no live audience, they stop to let the laughs happen so people can hear the lines on the actual show. If you don't know the show, as a lot of comments prove they don't, it's easy to just say it's not funny. Actually watch.
Having sat through many tapings, the live studio audience is alive and well. It takes about 3 hours to film one 23 minute show...and it does get tedious but still fun. You're also way up high looking into a stage.
actually my cousin dated the indian guy (i kid you not) and she visited the set a lot and she told me that they do have a live audience but they dont actually watch the whole show, just parts of it because it would get really boring as they have to film a lot of takes and the same scene multiple times, what they will do is bring in an entertainer or something along those lines and when it is time to laugh or ooh or ahh the entertainer will notify them
One has to keep in mind that, the studio audience laughter fills in the silences and awkward moments, very much like movie/tv/game soundtracks do. Try editing out the soundtrack from any movie and see if it's still any good.
Without the sound it's geeky nerds with a hot chick conversing in an eerily awkward conversation made more unsettling by the quite noticeable pauses...it's like I'm dead inside not having their laughter.
wow how do ppl still not laugh, i lol`d so hard all through out the video, like i said on another video like this, it just feels werid to laugh with no one else in the background, but the big punch lines are still jokes, and the minor ones are not funny like they usually are not
How does anyone find this funny? It's marginally better with the laugh track because it fills that awkward silence where I'm not laughing, so that I can pretend I found it amusing.
Newsflash. The scene is funny with or without audience laughter. It's funny because of what Sheldon went through to get Penny the right gift, his reaction to his gift, and what he gives her in return. Also, like people are saying, taking out the laughs completely throws off the timing of the dialogue.
Well.... what happen to the sound between the sentences then? Why the noise and background noise suddenly drop after each replica?
Sitcom crews behind the camera are allowed and even encouraged to laugh as they feel, that gives the actors feel of timing, not even that is audible here. If nobody reacted, the scene would be rewritten right on the spot.
I'm not saying that they don't add the laughter, but I do say (as a sound engineer) that the audio of this clip was altered.
Most American shows just aren't funny without the laugh tracks almost tricking you into thinking they are. You barely notice when the joke has come without the laughter... Stuff like the Inbetweeners is just funny in general.

Most American shows just aren't funny without the laugh tracks almost tricking you into thinking they are. You barely notice when the joke has come without the laughter... Stuff like the Inbetweeners is just funny in general.

I've not seen this episode, and I still find this hilarious :P Don't watch the geek show and hate on it if you're not a geek!
