Why laugh tracks don't make things funny

I think we can all agree that laugh tracks are… not great. They’re loud, distracting, and they have an uncanny ability to laugh at things that absolutely are not jokes. But how much do they actually affect a show like The Big Bang Theory? And how much of an episode is spent not on jokes, dialogue, or story — but just… laughter? That’s the question I try to answer in this video. This is a video I’ve been thinking about (and slowly putting together) for a while now, and it ended up being way more fun to make than I expected. It’s also a bit different from my usual stuff, so I’m hoping you’re willing to go along with me on this one. The structure and tone were heavily inspired by Drew Gooden(   / @drewisgooden  , who has a talent for making very small, weird observations feel way more important than they probably should be — which is exactly the energy I was going for here. It’s kind of a strange video because it sits somewhere between comedy analysis and math. On one hand, we’re talking about sitcoms and jokes. On the other hand, we’re counting seconds, tracking patterns, and overthinking something most people would tell me to simply ignore. But if you’ve been around this channel for a bit, you know that overanalyzing pointless things with numbers is sort of my brand at this point. So yeah — let’s talk about laugh tracks, The Big Bang Theory, and what happens when a show tells you exactly when to laugh.
