The Office with a laugh track

[GroverKent]

The Office is a very boring show anyway, a laugh track would at least make it seem like an actual comedy.

[MissCodswallop]

@GroverKent I beg to differ!

[redcard64]

This is unrealistic; I would have laughed twice as much as the laugh track suggests.

[DarthMagnus19]

still funny

[ricarleite]

It makes it SO much worse...

[PinkFloydrulez]

i miss the old office so much

[mrfalafl]

Not funny without the laugh track. Not funny with the laugh track. Only a moron would think this show is oh-my-god-the-bestest-funniest­-thing-in-the-world purely because it has no laugh track.

[nsgutube]

Funny but it does actually 'help' you laugh a bit, almost seems more comical with the laughter. Strange...lol

[hifatsoos]

@nsgutube nah, makes it worse imo lol...but pretty funny. The Big Bang Theory however, needs the laugh track haha

[swss12]

not bad..

[sboss]

>as seen on /tv/

ohgodwat

[SackFulloApplez1993]

I was laughing the whole time like a brainless boob.

[Amgbenz0]

This is horrible. I could actually see the office being funny with a live studio audience.. that way there aren't so many unnecessary and generic laughs.. and laughs that dont sound so fake and end abruptly. Weird.. some people like to say that a laugh track makes a show funny when its not.. but the office is normally pretty funny, but not at all with the laugh track. I guess all those morons who believe laugh tracks make shows humorous will have a hard time figuring out why this blows ass.

[johootly]

either way, its hilarious!

[carnagen]

Wow, good job! Thanks to you I know now when to laugh :)

[SoIsYourFaceMate]

did anyone else realise that the video is horizontally inverted? its especially noticeable when the ending scene where Michael goes into his office where the conference room really should be at 3:25

[TheHawkdaddy]

The only show that I can think of that is still funny with a laugh track is Black Books.

[alextoob1]

Laugh tracks are one way to truly cripple a show

Such an embarrassment in this day and age

[OriginMSD]

Huh, this show could use a laugh track. xD

[admiraljansen]

@OriginMSD You must be a fan of the Big Wang Theory.

[OriginMSD]

@admiraljansen lol I don't watch The Big Bang Theory.  I just grew up with Married with Children, Home Improvement, and Seinfeld. Sue me.

[RaguelAngelofBalance]

Some it was well placed, some totally unnecessary.

[monsterdog22]

laugh track or no laugh track this show is the best!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[iwantcompletecontrol]

This actually made me laugh more because I was laughing at the purposefully excessive laugh track use and how stupid laugh tracks are.

[limetheleamer]

this video is for the people who think the office isnt funny...there you go...its probably a knee slapper now isnt it?

[Amgbenz0]

@limetheleamer Not really.. it sucks with the laugh track, and was actually pretty good without it. If you laugh simply because you hear laughter, u deserve to be taken into a dark alley and shot to death.

[limetheleamer]

@Amgbenz0 I was being sarcastic...I hve a hard time watching laugh tracked show...how i met your mother took some getting used to...but now it has become a show which depends on the laugh track...and yea, can't watch it anymore...I love the office, community, parks all that good stuff

[gueraspace]

the thing about this show is....if there was an audience they wouldn't be told when they should be laughing :)

[konch30]

ugh seems like half of the audio in this video is laughing...gross

[Intoxiqated]

The Office is funny no matter what you do to it. I crack up at it without the tracks. TBH I thought the show sucked before I started really watching it, then I gave it a try and found it great.

For contrast, I thought the Big Bang Theory sucked, then watched an episode and puked at how terrible it was. So I guess its not true that every show needs to be given a shot.

[SVROverlord]

Hey, this was a scene from the British Office as well

[Koolkitties]

the reason why it doesnt work with this is because they dont pause for the jokes on this show. The Office isn't as gag based as the sitcoms, so naturally its not gonna work well with a random laugh track.

[paivakai]

Edited videos to add or subtract laugh tracks really make me realize how good shows like The Office and Parks and Rec are. No laugh tracks needed.

[HaydnFitzsimons]

This is like watching Friends. The laugh track playing over and over and over...

[bud389]

Worst laugh track insertion ever.

[OniSyphon]

Oh look, the Big Bang Theory.

[AvocadoTomato]

@OniSyphon The Big Bang Theory is horrible.

[abcdefg7890]

@AvocadoTomato

To be fair, this is pretty terrible (which speaks to how good it is without)

[minamu8]

The ending uses too much. You put, like, four laugh tracks in a row. Not even regular sitcoms on real TV use it that much.

[andmiheo]

you put too many laughs into the video, that it made it unfunny when funny parts came up...

[COWARDKILLINGTIME]

@andmiheo Well, isn't that the point of laugh tracks?

[JackLivesTogether]

@COWARDKILLINGTIME No.

[krazykhrisya]

@COWARDKILLINGTIME The point of laugh tracks is that when others are laughing, it envokes laughter, I.E. the two year old that doesn't understand the joke and falls off of his chair laughing. It makes people find the show funnier.

[Amgbenz0]

@krazykhrisya Yea, maybe because they're 2 years old and dont know any better. If a grown person watches any show with a laugh track, and laughs simply because they hear laughter, that person should be shot and killed. Its like hanging out with a group of friends and one of them tells a bad yo momma joke, and then you start laughing simply because your friends found it funny. If your that easily influenced to laugh, you have an incredibly weak mind and personality.. hang yourself now.

[TheSeriouslyOatmeal]

@Amgbenz0 I'd rather have more people with "weak minds and personalities" who laugh when they hear laugh tracks than psychopathic minds and personalities telling people to kill themselves on a Youtube comments page.

[Amgbenz0]

@TheSeriouslyOatmeal Too bad nobody asked you what you would rather have.

[TheSeriouslyOatmeal]

@Amgbenz0 Giving your opinion on stuff nobody asked you about to a bunch of people who don't care... sounds like a typical day on the internet to me.

Glad you took the time to respond though.

[SketchComedyCrew]

@TheSeriouslyOatmeal In that case, going by Amgbenz0's standards, I retroactively ask you what you would rather have. I...that's how it works, right?

Look, I am not great at this internet thing yet.

[Webuiltthepyramids]

@COWARDKILLINGTIME no, the laughtracks laugh after the punchline, not seven times during the sentence.

[iwillcommitdeicide]

@andmiheo thats just how funny the show is

[EagleHawkSpider]

@andmiheo owned. hard. owned.

[megansadler12]

LOVE THIS EPISODE! Detest the laugh track. You totally just ruined it since the awkwardness of the office is what makes it funny.

[supermario0523]

The show was never funny to begin with... This video didn't change my opinion one bit...

[RXdash78]

Still better than the big bang theory.

[pmunkyandpals11]

I laugh so much more when there's a laugh track xD I feel like a monkey though...

[zakiemon]

I found it hilarious. But for some reason a laugh track always makes me crack up when watching any show. I mean I laugh at the office all the time because it is just hilarious. I kind of want to say that this made it funnier, but I am sure that I would've laughed just as hard watching it without a laugh track.

[bedfall]

HAHA WTF SO WEIRD WITH THE LAUGH TRACK

[BistroButcherz]

@Germanpieces you are an idiot



[Drewsius]

Okay, some of the laughs were pretty good... but even so, there are way too many in this video. Even sitcoms with live audiences or laugh tracks don't have that many laughs... Good job though.

[CanaAlyce]

i am glad that the show has no laugh tracks and most shows right now do not laugh tracks ruin jokes

[taterfrickintot]

why is it mirrored???

[ThePokeyPictures]

i still think its funny

[Thejiggler279]

yea this ruins it...pretty hard

[UpTheIrons1994]

It sucks (with a laugh track). D:
