Here's a challenge for fans of Friends:


Friends (Laughtrack-free) - YouTube


Friends (No Laugh Track Version) - YouTube

Watch these videos and try and find out where the jokes are.

Laugh tracks can make any show 'funny':


The Wire with a laugh track - YouTube

Firstly, obviously I don't laugh my head off every time the laugh track is used...

Also, that scene in The Wire is funny on its own.

They just seem very hostile to each other :(

Also, Paul Rudd was on friends for a while?

Paul Rudd was on friends for a very long time, sometimes called the seventh friend......

Yeah me I love it. Dark with a great storyline. Jessica Lange is such a bitch and i love her for it. :dj:

Me and my Dad have started watching "30 Rock". I have seen them all but they are worth another sit through.

The first two or three are slow, but it picks up very quickly.

I didn't like 30 Rock very much, and my parents are always watching it, but I love it now. This is the clip that sold me

I go back and forth on that show. It's probably not worth my time but I was already wasting it.

I can understand why some people wouldn't like it, because it's a comedy that is loaded with gags, that isn't bust your gut hilarious. I think it's exactly perfect for what it is - An intelligent comedy.

I mean, Tracy Jordan calls toofer a "Black B@stard"... Perfect show.
