    The fake laughing in the show annoys the hell out of me, you know when the people are trying to make jokes there's like this fake laugh but when they pan over to the audience they are just sitting there watching...

    I know it sometimes gets you to laugh but seriously... isn't it trying a bit too hard??

    I just watched 2 episodes back to back, it was just annoying me

    Anyone else notice this?

    Actually all tv show do these kinda stuffs. Same as fake applause. They need to add in the laughers cause they dont records real laughs. It's much easier to put in the laughs during edits.

    After a while you'll get used to it.

    when they film the audience, they usually cut it from another part of the show. Its usually not a cause and effect. The people like to cut a certain part of the audience when they think its the funniest, and stick it into other parts of the show for the effect. Its hard to explain. When I was in HK, I went to one of the shows, it was a recorded show, so during certain parts, the emcee's required the audiences to clap and cheer, just so they can record it.

    Yeah I always wonder why TVB use the same laugh track all the time. I worked in a tv station in America for a little while and actually they all use "fake" laugh tracks but usually they use many different ones so that it sounds natural. The reason why you notice it's fake it's because TVB uses the exact same one all the time. And some people said they record the laughing and cheering separately its because in a big studio like the one they use for the show it's expensive to have all the lighting and sound equipment all over the studio and on at the same time so they move the equipment to the audience area only when they need to record the audience.
