      Friends without a laugh track is 1000% funnier.

      Especially Ross…who becomes basically a serial killer vibe.

      In The Big Bang Theory without the laugh track, Raj becomes just a huuuuuuge asshole.

        To be fair, with or without a laugh track, TBBT is depressing as fuck. I feel incredibly sorry for the faith of most characters.

      There was a great take on one of these called “Everybody Hates Raymond”

      It was the show Everybody Loves Ramon but the laugh track was completely replaced with boos and was frickin hilarious. I think it got removed from YouTube though cuz I haven’t been able to find it for years.

      Holy shit, this is much better than the original!!! Damn, I should rewatch the series like this. Where can I find all of it without the laugh track?

      Edit: I have to add, the long pauses make it a bit annoying. With the laugh track the pauses aren’t noticeable (to me at least; my girlfriend did notice the long pauses even with the laugh track, and it was annoying to her).

        The pauses are there because it’s not a “laugh track”, it’s a live audience. That’s not to say it’s 100% genuine laughter, but they’re pausing so the laughter doesn’t bury the dialogue.

        Timing and pacing are inherently different when there’s a laugh track. You can’t just silence the laughter or cut the time range. In some cases, you have to rework the joke.
