The Big Bang Theory - No Laugh Track 1 (Avoiding the Shamy)

[ChaosRiku]

Time dislike spam this video.

[sboss]

@ChaosRiku was that a sentence?

[ChaosRiku]

@sboss Looks like we got a badass here.

[sboss]

@ChaosRiku i don't think you know what that means.

[carnige4]

if you didn't chuckle you don't have a funny bone

[bargified]

I'm a little jealous. My friend and I discussed doing this exact same thing for months but we never actually did. Good on ya for actually doing it. Laugh tracks worked in the "old days" because the audience didn't laugh equally hard at EVERY SINGLE JOKE.

[sboss]

@bargified looks like someone understands why i hate this show. glad you appreciated the video!

[ACadaver]

Painful.

[qwertyoctopus]

I found it not only funnier, but it seemed less tacky than with the laugh track. I think sitcoms need to take out laugh tracks or studio audience laughs altogether.

[Kavaklok]

I still found it funny

[CrazyKittyCat0]

Would you guys chill? So the maker doesn't like The Big Bang Theory, so what? They're entitled to an opinion.

[sboss]

@CrazyKittyCat0 calling me "the maker" makes me sound way more important than i actually am. thank you.

[seanzythewhite]

The laughter you didn't manage to cut out is too distracting to prove or disprove your theory.

[digita1friend]

I laughed several times too, lol. BECAUSE IT'S FUNNY

[SirDandyMan]

@sboss Actually, no! Surprising as it may seem, a couple of the jokes are sound. Perhaps the expectation of laughter brought me to chuckle, but it was amusing nonetheless.

[SirDandyMan]

I actually laughed at this. Several times.

[sboss]

@SirDandyMan i'm hoping it was at the awkwardness of the silence?

[AutophobicNightmare]

fuck this show

[travo89]

I was still entertained by this.

[1reddit]

Awkward silences, awkward silences everywhere.

[JohntheNonCultist]

[awkward silence]

[n00bjon]

The pause between the actors' lines reminds me of Bioware RPGs.

[tomtom90]

Oh, and you are Wil Wheaton. heh heh heh heh.

[tomtom90]

Also, it is clear that you have the spirit of the Hajib in you, and that is what is fuelling your hatred for this blessed show. You need to embrace Allah, my friend, and the light will come to you.

[tomtom90]

wow, the comments to this video can basically be summed up like this: "HOW CAN PEOPLE LIKE THINGS THAT I DONT!?!?! OTHER PEOPLE ARE STUPID AND IM SMART" jeez, get some perspective... and btw, tbbt doesn't use a laugh track, they have mostly a real audiance. not that it matters.

[sboss]

@tomtom90 "mostly" is the key word. it sounds like they abuse that audience like a bitch. there's no way they should laugh after every single sentence.

[tomtom90]

@sboss No, actually, "not that it matters" is the key word. cuz even though you might not like this show, there are millions of viewers who disagree with you, including the audience laughing in the studio. If you dont like it, fair enough, don't watch it. Just because you dont laugh does not mean that it is "not possible" to laugh, or that the people who find it funny are stupid. Just different from you.

[sboss]

@tomtom90 you do realize the audience is told when to laugh, right?

[tomtom90]

@sboss no, not always. they actually often rewrite their jokes as they go along according to the audiences reaction. Hey, im no tbbt-fanboy, just keppin it real, u kno.

[Soldier0Cross]

@tomtom90 Laugh actors are actually a pretty big industry. Actors who specialize in making themselves laugh.

[CharlesLaurita]

@tomtom90 Actually, no new laugh tracks have been recorded since the 70's, they don't have a live audience. If you listen closely, you can hear the laugh tracks repeat themselves

[livingSnorlax]

no one can see OP without thinking Over Powered

[sboss]

@livingSnorlax i can, because i don't play mmorpg's.

[SuperPoopMaster007]

@sboss Or any other game with multiple characters.

[MarikBentusi]

Wow, this show is terrible.

[mmmmchildren]

This show is so terrible.

[choclitrayn]

much funnier than friends without the laughter track

[ausomeaustin515]

How do they make money?!?

[WW2obsession]

What do you know, this show is absolutely hilarious without the laugh track, but the thumbs down is for letting bits of it through, reminding me that the show has it.

[sboss]

@WW2obsession there's nothing i can do when the sheep are laughing while the actors are talking at the same time. mah bad.

[Iknow789]

Somehow this is funny without the laugh track, and unbearable with. The awkwardness of it all and pregnant pauses.

[Fucklesticks]

Even with the laugh track it's painful to watch with all those horrible jokes

[NecronomiPod]

I despise laugh tracks because they are a lazy way out for sitcoms. Instead of actually using context clues, good acting or genuinely entertaining jokes to convey comedy, they just put the sound of other people laughing in which triggers the viewer's social reflex to laugh along, thereby tricking said viewer into thinking that the show is what's making them laugh and is funny. Once you take the laughter out, you see the cast's failure of delivery.

[PixyDixy2]

@punkypenguin321

By your logic, Justin Bieber is the best, most talented singer ever. Is that right?

Also stop greentexting outside of QuadrupleChan, OP, it makes you look like a fag.

[sboss]

@PixyDixy2 you use the term "OP" outside of "quadruplechan". isn't that just as bad, if not worse?

[PixyDixy2]

@sboss Not really, OP just means original poster and it doesn't belong to any specific site, it's just an internet term.

[sboss]

@PixyDixy2 this isn't a forum...

[hockeystard89]

its because they pause for the laughter, if there is no pauses its not an akward silence

[johnthemon23]

as much as you are right that it's not funny, you should remove the parts where they pause. Good job, showing this to my friends who like it.

[Simsimius]

Actually this is still funny. I never laugh loud when watching TV.

[jridenoure]

This just made me cringe.

[sboss]

@jridenoure MISSION ACCOMPLISHED *thumbs up*

[punkypenguin321]

how can you hate such an awesome show?!!! You just hate quality humor. If this show is so "unfunny" as you claim, why does the number of nominations and won awards for best comedy or outstanding achievement in comedy just keep getting bigger?!

[sboss]

@punkypenguin321 >big bang theory

>quality

>pick one

all joking aside, popularity means nothing in terms of quality. also, please read the entire description, it's not that long. see the part where i say it's a joke? i'm just bringing to light the fact that this show is not funny when you're not told where to laugh.

[Trolololololoolable]

GOD I HATE THIS SHOW! lol love the awkwardness

[ThatAwsomeGuy9]

"PLEASE DON'T SUE ME." lol

[Wutwut1n1]

actually this wasn't too bad but not as funny as the audience thinks it is

[EvieHedgehog]

God, I hate fake laughter in programs, especially when it's on Disney programs that obviously aren't funny. Same with crappy comedies!
