      Friends without a laugh track is 1000% funnier.

      Especially Ross…who becomes basically a serial killer vibe.

      In The Big Bang Theory without the laugh track, Raj becomes just a huuuuuuge asshole.

      There was a great take on one of these called “Everybody Hates Raymond”

      It was the show Everybody Loves Ramon but the laugh track was completely replaced with boos and was frickin hilarious. I think it got removed from YouTube though cuz I haven’t been able to find it for years.

        The pauses are there because it’s not a “laugh track”, it’s a live audience. That’s not to say it’s 100% genuine laughter, but they’re pausing so the laughter doesn’t bury the dialogue.

        Timing and pacing are inherently different when there’s a laugh track. You can’t just silence the laughter or cut the time range. In some cases, you have to rework the joke.
