why do Americans clap at everything?

I fear it is coming to England too.

Clap clap clap - totally pointless.

I'm American, and I know what you mean. Many times I just want to hear the person speak, without it being interrupted by sanctimonious applause. Sometimes it's genuine enthusiasm and approval of what someone's saying that causes an audience to burst forth with clapping; but many times it's just them being sanctimonious and politically correct. Also, the studio audiences for these types of shows are coached by the production staff to applaud. The show's producers WANT there to be clapping.

Why go back to Africa? There are millions of kids in this very country that need help Oprah, your own country, not Africa.

@wldwld007 yes we are and we are coming for you next. dumbass

@aquablushgirl At the theater such this one there is a sign shown to the audience, written on the sign "Applause" when they turn on this sign you have to "Applause". It's stupid but I think they want the show to stay alive a bit. On the other hand I'm not sure about England if they do have such thing.

@aquablushgirl Cuz they know when claping takes place. Claping in the right moment is the clue of everything you see on these shows including emotions :)

@yngguy4u haha nice way of putting it

[ehcmier]

@aquablushgirl Idiot. They are told to clap and laugh at everything even remotely amusing. If they didn't, there would be an applause machine. There's a warm-up comedian that loosens up the audience and instructs them to emote with sound, because the microphones won't hear the smiles. It's not Americans clapping at everything, it's show business protocols. Ask the industry insiders why they get carried away with it, and stop your jingoistic assumptions about the people themselves.
