I watched a scene where someone posted it without the laugh track and it was super cringey. Semi-related note.. Taking the laugh track out of BBT ruins it, but taking Garfield out of Garfield comics takes it to a new level, see here -> https://garfieldminusgarfield.net/

    Taking the laugh track out of anything ruins it. You are replacing laughter with dead air.

    I'd be interested to see an edit of classic sitcoms with laughs (tracks or live), edited to remove both the laugh and the associated pause in the performance.

    There would be more cuts than a fight scene from Taken. It would be super distracting.

    Hmmm

    I haven't watched many sitcoms recently. I felt like those pauses for audience laughs were often where they'd cut to other camera angles anyway (likely to distract from how unnaturally long the characters paused in the middle of their conversations)... But I don't have any concrete evidence to back up my feeling.
