"haha", he said "Haha" Response

In this article the author was attacking something he really really seemed to despise, and what he despised was laugh tracks. laugh tracks are the fake laughter added on to shows to make people laugh along with them. throughout the entire article he bashes the use of laugh tracks in many shows and says how they should not be in shows at all. The author also says that in the future there will not be any laugh tracks anymore and people will read his article and not know what he is talking about unless they watch a show from the 70's. He believes that the laugh track is dumbing people down into laughter when something actually isn't funny at all. The author also goes on to say that the laugh track (not being the entire reason) is making us as U.S. people laugh for no reason, making it a part of our society. He says how he lived in Germany and nobody over there laughed for no reason at all unless it was actually funny to them, and over here we laugh as a filler. The way he explains his point made me also think that he is completely right. Those laugh tracks do piss me off sometimes because somethings not funny, yet it makes people laugh at them. Also I notice now how some of the laughter we add in conversations is pointless and unneeded.
