You aren't necessarily wrong. Have you ever seen Friends without a laugh track?

    Friends without a laugh track is 1000% funnier.

    Especially Ross.....who becomes basically a serial killer vibe.

    In The Big Bang Theory without the laugh track, Raj becomes just a huuuuuuge asshole.

    Oh man you weren't kidding, at least drunk Raj becomes an unfunny asshole if nobody is laughing.

    To be fair, with or without a laugh track, TBBT is depressing as fuck. I feel incredibly sorry for the faith of most characters.

    There was a great take on one of these called “Everybody Hates Raymond”

    It was the show Everybody Loves Ramon but the laugh track was completely replaced with boos and was frickin hilarious. I think it got removed from YouTube though cuz I haven’t been able to find it for years.

    The pauses are there because it's not a "laugh track", it's a live audience. That's not to say it's 100% genuine laughter, but they're pausing so the laughter doesn't bury the dialogue.
