In the 1950s by Charles Roland Douglass. A laugh track is a sound effect to tell people when to laugh at the right time and when to use on the punchline, usually in a rimshot. Today, laugh tracks are used as an insult to a person's intelligence and to a person's sense of humor. A laugh track is an uncomfortable effect on television, thus making the show to get negative reviews by fans and critics alike. It is also used on Nickelodeon and on Disney Channel for unfunny children's sitcoms like Hannah Montana, iCarly, The Suite Life of Zack and Cody, True Jackson VP and That's So Raven. To be honest, I took A/V techniques at ITT Technical Institute last year, and my classmates do not mention laugh tracks in class. As a multimedia student, I forbid using laugh tracks in the media industry. They are very insulting, they hurt our minds, and the inventor has a lack of intelligence. With him dead, it is better to laugh alone or along with our families. We are not in the studios, we are in the living room.
icarly does not have studio audience. they just play the laugh track after like every sentence.
No. The laugh track and the clapping is pre-recorded. To be in the "audience" you have to be invited by the cast or crew, and even then you can only watch the run-throughs.
