Klostermans “Ha Ha,” he said, “Ha Ha” is an article about canned laughter and laugh tracks and how stupid he thinks they are. I’m not really persuaded on his argument. I have seen many shows he included in his argument. A lot of them I like even though some use laugh tracks and some don’t. I don’t lean towards either side of using or not using a laugh track, I enjoy shows with or without them. For example Two and Half Men has recently become one my favorite shows and it still uses a laugh track and I think the laugh track adds to the hilarity of the show. You don’t always notice it’s there either; if you get really into the show they you don’t even notice it even though I don’t always laugh with the laugh track because I don’t laugh at dumb or unnecessary comments or things. Another show I really enjoy is, It’s Always Suny in Philadelphia, and they don’t use a canned laugh, in fact it would probably seem awkward if they would add a laugh track to the show now, but it’s still a really funny show without the laugh track, you don’t notice it’s not even there. I think it all starts with the beginning of the show and how the show is produced, to whether or not a laugh track should be used. It’s funny either way.
