>Watching Seinfeld>Kramer appears on screen>Americlap audience starts applauding/hooting and won't stop for several seconds to a full minuteWhy? He wasn't even gone long. IF he was gone nearly the whole episode I could understand, but this is in the first couple minutes of the damn show. Yes, he's a great character, but what the fuck?
>>221390589back then, its one week per episode
>>221390589I know for a fact they do this for countless bong sitcoms as well
>>221390589the live studio audience was actually unironically retarded and larry david had to tell them to shut the fuck up after a couple recorded episodes of it because they were eating into the runtime with their over the top applauseyou'll actually notice, if you watch in order, a couple episodes straight of their egregious cheering and then they suddenly stop for the rest of the season (and series)
>>221390589That never happened. The only show I remember this happening was married with children
>>221390872I wonder if That 70's Show faced the same issue because Goddamn. Though I wouldn't be surprised if they used said audience applause to reduce content so you the viewer can feel engaged and clap along.
>>221390958Wait. Who was the super popular character?Kelso?
>>221390993I wasn't implying the same situation. Just overuse of laugh track.
>>221390872>make comedy show >be surprised audience laughs >tell them to shut the fuck up Why even have an audience then?
>>221391526>Why even have an audience then?that's why the last couple seasons of seinfeld just use canned laughter
>>221390872why on Earth would use this retarded hack gimmick in 21st century? Why bother?
>>221390872but networks edit the laughs in from other sessions, surely the audience wasn't clapping for Kramer in every single take
Funny guy. Right here! No stand up and sitcom fans are just legit retarded and will laugh at everything even if it isn't funny.
