my god, i can't believe how much bad canned laughter we used to tolerate on television! now that it isn't everywhere any more, it's so easy to spot and so grating to hear. i wonder if there's a way to cleanly remove it from these skits.
i see what you mean, and i agree that "sweetened" laughter (adding some sfx to a studio audience) is much more bearable than the canned stuff. still, it's funny that we had to be hand-held and told what parts were funny. didn't think much of it at the time, but now it's really annoying

I prefer this kind of laughter as it doesn't break the conversation flow like US sitcoms to.
