"Currently"?

 

Once it comes out, Avatar 3 will be most anticipated.

There's very little separating "real" laugh tracks from "fake" ones, honestly. I used to think as you did, but after having some experience working in that arena, I've come to appreciate where this form of entertainment came from and how it reached its current form.

 

Have you seen the first season of Sports Night?  Holy shit, that is awful.

 

I can watch older sitcoms with a laugh track, such as the first 7 seasons of Seinfeld.  

 

Newer shit like BBT is just awful and feels like they script laughs.

I personally love how there's always one guy with an obnoxious laugh who laughs longer than anyone else

[Blankments]

Sounds neat. I've actually directed short films before.

lucky. As I didn't own the camera, I didn't get that privilege :/

[Fancyarcher]

I have non sitcom scriptsChuck Norris and Liam Neeson vs. The Loch Ness MonsterInternet Girl (parody of Catfish)Grinding Nemo (trying to get a copy of my performance to upload to YouTube)Call Me Tom (aa SLP_esque dramedy about cerebral palsy)Scar's SixNone of these have laugh tracks btw

 

All of those sounds so bizarre yet so awesome. You should post them on here, or PM them to me if you don't want people to steal them.

EXACTLYThis is the satire I try to use in that script lol.

Sorry to hear. I once owned a small blue video camera, but it stopped working only after a few weeks despite me not doing anything to it.

 

Aside from that my mom owned a video camera which I was allowed to use.

[Blankments]

I agree. I actually mocked it once in a script I wrote.

see? You know what I mean!

Meta humor can be great if done right.

I always thought Seinfeld had the best studio audiences. For example, I don't think this scene would have been nearly as great without them:

 

 

Yes!  I love Seinfeld so much.  I really liked how they would read the exterior dialogue in the studio and get real reactions and play that over the scenes.

 

Anyway, compare that to this from BBT.

I'll probably post a few more over the summerIf I can ask a friend, I'm gonna try to upload Grinding Nemo for y'all. It's a One Man Show [actually a speech piece but one man show is an easier way to describe)

I had a camera once. But it was real shitty quality so I stopped bothering with it

I have been in the audience for BBT twice. Can confirm that the laughs aren't scripted. The laughs they get are genuine, but definitely polished up a lot in post.

 

The reason it looks awkward without the laugh track is because the actors actually pause for laughs, the scene is not continuous.

You never saw my Let It Go vid?

[Blankments]

Btw, apologizing for the overabundance of posts. I'm on mobile and thus cannot multi quote :/

Heh, I went to an MLS All Stars game vs Man United back in 2010 after the World Cup.

 

The two notable players was Ryan Giggs and Javier Hernandez. No Rooney though or what not.

 

With the game in Houston, I'm guessing there were a lot of Chicharito fans.

I don't believe I did. Could you post it again perhaps?

I don't blame Michael Bay for the unnecessary TF4. I blame you for seeing Bay’s crashes, explosions, stupid dialogue: http://nikkifinke.com
