"Ha ha," he said. "Ha ha."

The article that I read was basically talking about laugh tracks in sitcoms. It seem that the author had a problem with the fake laugh tracks produced by machines. He explained how annoying it was to sit down and watch one of the shows and hear a laugh go off  in jokes that are not even funny. He also sad that usually shows with no laugh track are usually more funny than the ones with one.  I have to agree on what the author is saying. I remember I was watching entertainment tonight and they had shown a clip of a future episode of, How I met your mother. Katy Perry was suppose to be guest staring.

Now during the clip it show the preview you hear that there wasn’t a laugh track involved in that scene. By watching that, it made it seem soo retarded. It was nothing funny about what she was saying. This also made me question some other shows with a laugh tracks? I mean it could be just that katy perry is just a bad actress who knows. But I can’t really complain really, its just like with horror movies without the creepy music. Without it the movie would suck. Whether we hate it or not some things are necessary to make other stuff better.
