When was the last idea about Sitcom Laugh Laugh? Probably years. Maybe decades? Sitcoms with background laughter seemed to have been dying strictly and tightly for a long time. And still, like the peasant who was hit by the plague Monty Python and Holy BloodFormat continues to sit as if he was going to say cheerfully completed with Cockney accent, “I haven’t died yet!”
Like an observer anthropologist, you can look at Laugh Track Sitcoms: Here is a half -hour program with canned laughter in the natural broadcasting habit, which has been directed to disappear by a single camera comedy, which has been an invasive species since the 1990s. In 2021, several sales points, in the autumn season and two famous postmodernist shows (Disney+’s not a single Multi-Cam Sitcom’u officially declared the format. Wandavision and amcs Kevin, himself) Surgically dismantled the species.
And still (Morpheus puts glasses): What if I were to tell you, there is currently a single cabin (seven and five) more multi-oma comedy in the broadcast right now and many of them perform very well? After all critic Bashing and developing audience pleasure, this season still has a new Chuck Lorre Sitcom (Georgie & Mandy’s first marriage) Nielsen Top 5 broadcast? Although most of the new flow comedies are a single camera, they circulate in ratings by decimal repetitions. Friends And Big Bang Theory?
Sitcoms for a long time adhesive, non -commercial art, with a background laughter for years, have been condemned as a dystopic joke mind control. A study showed that the traces of laughter increased the likelihood of finding jokes funny and triggered a mirror response – not as different from how stretching you want to stretch yourself (I’m sorry if you’re stretching now; I’m never the target of a writer). Smile traces (probably an anonymous middle -aged white man) Sitcom Father was also called the systemic women’s mechanism of hostility to slapped laughter on the oppressive rough antiques of the Patriarch (“Moon Alice! Ral Ralph threatens Alice’i Alice. HoneymoresThe fist was upgraded and mark the pre -saved hot).
However, in recent years, the TV has developed so radically that there is an argument to re -evaluate the format in our current period of realism. FX’s “comedy” Bear Emmy broke the records and so real that each character is miserable (just like working in a real restaurant). Currently the most popular species show HBOs Our endThis takes the pulp an idea – the zombie apocalypse – and creates such an authentic world that a cute character dies almost every week agonizly. HBO’s breaking medical drama, PittIt is so true for life that you teach everything you don’t want to know about hospital personnel problems. Even Disney Star Wars Show, Andor, He takes the Star War so seriously that a recent episode included an empire officer trying to rape a rebel (he says right now: the final cancer is introducing an ewok). All the great shows, but a reliable escape from TV-reality seems to have fun in pushing reality to us (how many times in recent years have read an interview with a showrunner’s word “grounded”).
In the meantime, the perfect hair is doing sports in the shaded living rooms with the choros of floating Greek laughter, which is deliberately unrealistic and constantly appropriate. These shows naturally strangeAnd he goes hand in hand with strange art.
Youtubers made videos that took laughter from shows. Friends And Big Bang Theory Painfully observed the strange effect (“without laughing track, it looks like a group of people who really hate each other). However, a comedy with audience laughter is its own combined thing that comes together in a package that can please. Hearing laughter feels warm, tone is a sunny glow; Soft yellow noise. You don’t watch Jerry and Elaine yourself, as if you are watching with a group of people. The empty strange silence of seeing Jim and Pam OfficeDifferent, more cool and cold hit. The smile track makes us feel less lonely.
There is a creepy part of this. The original LAFF box contained 320 laughter banded in the 1950s. This Holy Sitcom Ship of the Convention – GUFFAWS and Gigunda and meticulously filled – were used. dozens of years. Even modern Sitcoms are often laughing recorded years or decades before. You see where this is going (or maybe not, this is a morbid thought): Even after the retirement of the box in the 1970s, the banding application for eternal reuse continued. Instead of being filmed in front of a live audience ”, programs were often created with a partially dead audience. The LAFF box and the more modern versions imprisoned the expressions of funny, and filled them in a cube for infinite recycling.
Speech: Live Studio audience laughter and completely canned laughter (and a medium ground that uses both of them, “sweetening”-there are some of the most common scenes taken out of the camera shows. It is generally considered as superior because it gives notes. Saturday night live-An actor’s moments when a visible joke really struggles to stay in the character when he really works. In other words, a studio audience that gives a mark on a laugh makes it more funny while the show is withdrawn. However, we have brought them together for a simple reason for our purpose: the sound is the same. If you can’t say the difference, is there a difference? In addition to a percentage of the audience, it is dying, ie (sorry – very real?).
