Shooting and Fucking
are the same thing!

I remember seeing an episode where they were all playing Halo and it was totally unbelievable that Sheldon would play any shooter other than some hardcore military simulator from Eastern Europe like ARMA or something. To be honest Sheldon seems like he wouldn't play any other game than Dwarf Fortress.

Now, listen - I know the two of you are very different from each other in a lot of ways, but you have to understand that as far as Grandpa's concerned, you're both pieces of shit! Yeah. I can prove it mathematically.

arma involves human contact at least. train and trucking simulators are a safer bet

In that show the laugh track was used a bit more to distract from the whole "Oh yeah, people are loving dying everywhere and it's in the middle of a warzone.". Some episodes don't have it. They also end some shows with no music which the west wing never did those loving idiots.

The laughtrack was actually forced in by the network, but the shows creators were able to negotiate their way out of using it all the drat time.

The DVDs have a "No Laughtrack" button.

The nerd isn't hotter, the midget with the squeaky voice is. And yeah the nerd is Blossom, and a nerd in real life too.

Almost every show on here is clever and humorous.

laugh tracks are just an awful crutch used by hack writers so feeble-minded people know when to laugh

-watches sitcom in mockumentary format where every punchline is followed by several seconds of characters looking into the camera and mugging so you know that a joke was told-

Eh hamming to the camera is kind of the same thing, but i feel like its less intrusive. Its like "Hey, get it??" and its usually in character and makes sense, given the context of the show being a "documentary".

Laugh tracks make no sense.
