Would you watch MLP if it had a Laugh track?

Absolutely. I love laugh tracks and a lot of the time I find myself unable to laugh even when I find something funny unless others are laughing too. The only exception is if something is so ridiculously funny that I laugh until I can't breathe. I haven't been able to laugh like that for a long time and the only thing that ever managed to make me do it was stand-up comedy.

Depends, just as long as they don't abuse like most kid-aimed sitcoms do these days(with iCarly being the worst offender imo)

Bleeeeeegh, I hate laugh tracks. If a show assumes I'm too dumb to figure out what should be funny, it's probably not catered to me at all.

 

One of the things I love about MLP is it does respect the intelligence of its audience. It assumes we'll pick up on the funny bits without being prodded every other line: "This is supposed to be funny, laughter goes here."

 

I also don't have to laugh externally to think something is funny while watching TV or a movie. I wont, usually, unless it's so utterly hilarious that I just lose it. (Strange, because I laugh a lot in real life.) Most of the time, a TV show/movie joke will get a smile or a small chuckle.

NO, NOT THE DISNEY WAY. They seriously add laugh tracks every 10 seconds in sitcoms and it became really annoying.

 

Plus the background musician would be upset. :o

I'm not a fan personally, plus I find that the humour is so varied and different jokes will appeal to so many different types. I guess this means an included laugh track would be all over the place or would neglect what others find amusing.

I already laughed a little at the first video. I would watch some, but I would probably get annoyed because they just won't stop laughing, it's like the producers laughing at their own jokes/stories. If I said "What comes after the banana? Your mom Celestia" and then I added a laugh track with it and nobody is really laughing, then it would just suck and awkward.


So... got any problems, troubles, conundrums, or any other sort of issues, major or minor, that I as a good friend could help you solve?

We've learned that friendship is never easy, but there's no doubt it's worth fighting for.

Probably not. Firstly because it's not a sitcom/comedy, secondly because I just find them extremely annoying and they take away from the show, like it's trying to force you to laugh. I didn't mind it in Scooby Doo but that just goes with the time period. I haven't watched any of the new Scooby Doo stuff so I don't know if they still do laugh tracks but I can't imagine it working if they did

"No, you move."

I personally would not watch it if it had laugh tracks. I don't need others to tell me when to laugh.

If I don't laugh, then that means the show is probably not for me.

 

Besides, I find the laugh tracks very annoying.

I'd still watch it, but it wouldn't be the same. Laugh tracks usually feel so awkward, and forced. That's not to say they they ruin shows though. I still enjoyed iCarly despite the awful laugh tracks.

It'd be really out of place, but I don't see why not. It isn't like it'd totally kill the show :D

 

It'd piss me off if they used a laugh track every time Rarity had a meltdown, though :okiedokielokie: As trivial as her problems seem to us, they actually bother her - and while I can understand how people find humor in it, the show shouldn't address that sort of thing with a laugh track.
