A "Showerthought" is a simple term used to describe the thoughts that pop into your head while you're doing everyday things like taking a shower, driving, or just daydreaming. The best ones are thoughts that many people can relate to and they find something funny or interesting in regular stuff.

Holy shit, this is much better than the original!!! Damn, I should rewatch the series like this. Where can I find all of it without the laugh track?

Edit: I have to add, the long pauses make it a bit annoying. With the laugh track the pauses aren't noticeable (to me at least; my girlfriend did notice the long pauses even with the laugh track, and it was annoying to her).

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.

Timing and pacing are inherently different when there's a laugh track. You can't just silence the laughter or cut the time range. In some cases, you have to rework the joke.
