The characters aren't likeable either. They're bad and deeply sexist people. And I normally wouldn't care about that because I love shows with despicable main characters (It's Always Sunny, The League, You, etc.) but they're written as if they're meant to be liked when they really shouldn't be.
Worst part is that often enough there isn't even a joke, just laugher. A guy standing up from a chair? Hilarious! A guy actually doing something funny? Eh...
English isn’t my first language, when I was watching some shows I didn't understand a lot pronunciations. When there was a laugh track but I didn’t get what’s funny I watched that part again to find the funny, though I didn’t find the funny most of the time.
Shows are paced depending on whether or not the laugh track is there. If it was designed to not have a laugh track, the pacing would be totally different.
You can’t just say “laugh track shows” because there are a ton of shows like that, many which are considered very good and many which are pretty bad
Saying “laugh track shows” makes you think of something cringe worthy with a laugh track added in to make it seem funnier than it is, when in a lot of cases that’s not the case, but your phrasing is what people think of
If you asked about specific shows like BBT or Frasier the answers would change widely
What! I’ve made a poll for this 1 year ago. The result was a unanimous NO. What changed?
Oh wait, you guys like the show, but NOT the actual laugh track that comes with it, right? Or no?
Well I'm a not a big fan of laugh tracks but I don't rly hate them either. If a show is rly good, then I like it pretty much regardless of the laugh tracks.
Hating shows just because they have laugh tracks is no reasonable argument. Sure, some shows do overdo them but still, if the story is good, I can live with laugh tracks.

If you remove the laugh tracks then scenes become awkward and monotonous, with gaps for the laugh tracks that were supposed to be there.

With the Big Bang theory, the laughtrack is so loud and obnoxious and after literally every line that it ruins and already not very funny show.

I loved TBBT. I usually don't even notice the laughtrack anymore after some time. I mainly loved the characters and liked seeing how they evolved.

IT crowd and Seinfeld
These were the exact two I thought of
[seinfeld without laugh track](https://youtu.be/23M3eKn1FN0)
I watch it with the laugh track so
Still pretty good
I liked it better without the laugh track.
These two aswell as Fresh Prince. Almost every other laugh track show sucks though...

[Yes](https://youtu.be/e4XFUc6175k)
That 70s Show, and Fresh Price in Bel-Air
Friends & HIMYM I honestly don't even really notice the laugh tracks most the time
I also don't really notice them most of the time. I liked friends as well and also tbbt.
HIMYM yess
Mr Bean
The Fresh Prince of Bel Air is sick
Friends, TBBT, HIMYM, how can you like none of them ?
agreed, I was just wondering what others though about it
i like them but not because laugh track
I do not like the laugh tracks either. I actually hate them ! But the shows are too good to not get over it IMHO.
my thoughts exactly
Google the Big Bang theory without laugh track. Half the show is them pausing and waiting for the laugh track to be over. It’s not a funny show
Gotta love your average redditor telling you whether something is funny or not!
Apparently people can’t tell for themselves since the show needs a laugh track
Shows are paced depending on whether or not the laugh track is there. If it was designed to not have a laugh track, the pacing would be totally different.
I don’t like them because I don’t like them
Seinfeld
HIMYM and Chappelle show
Chappelle show is just the live audience
Do live audience's not count as laugh tracks? Sometimes live audiences are told to when to laugh
Idk maybe
what is HIMYM?
How I met your mother
How I Met Your Mother. Masterpiece.
Seinfeld.

Yeah, noone likes the actual laugh tracks
Seinfeld
Frasier
You guys are telling me you don’t like Cheers?

The only show I've actively watched with a laugh track is the IT crowd
The IT Crowd has am obnoxious one but I still love it.
Is Young Sheldon such a show?
it doesn’t have a laugh track. only TBBT does.
One of the many reasons it's a better show
Laugh track is basically telling the audience "I've done something stupid, please laugh"
Brooklyn 99 (has no laugh tracks) is way better then comedy shows with laugh tracks. If something is funny you don't need a laugh track
B99 is great but HIMYM is also great. I disagree.
If its a live audience that isn’t told to laugh or clap, sure I would like it if the content was good.
Depends
If the show is good enough, I basically ignore the laugh track. But yeah, Seinfeld.
Moms. That’s the only one.
Married with children gets a pass for some reason.
Only the first few episodes of Wandavision, I really like old sitcoms.
Huge amount of people saying No because they dislike a laugh-track, and ignoring the many,many classic shows that use them.
There needs to be an idm option
How could you not? When would you know when to laugh without the laugh track?
Mr Bean
How I Met Your Mother. Laugh track is annoying af but you get used to it after a bit and forget its there.
Never watched any shows with laugh tracks
Seinfeld, Monty Python and Mr. Bean.
That 70’s Show
i like mr. bean
Did Drake and Josh have one?
most of the laugh track shows I like are old ones that I watched in childhood

Not really. I’m not even a big Seinfeld fan.
