False bonohmie /laughter

I would have thought it unlikely. Perhaps jollyg just means they are told by the producers to laugh in a certain way?

Got it in one

There should be a law against canned laughter!

Canned laughter should be ended right now.It spoils all sorts of programmes.

I hate canned laughter. I don't understand why some programme makers insist on using it. When a programme is recorded in front of a live audience at the the laughter is in the right place and changes according to the joke. Canned laughter is the same whether it's a verbal joke or slapstick.

Surely they can't dub laughter on to individuals?

i.e. their own aren't 'stupid' enough...?
I don't get it.

Are you saying that the BBC dubs Tom Kerridge and Clare Balding's own laughter, jollyg?

I love Tom Kerridge and have never noticed his laugh

To me that's what is wrong with a lot of programmes from the USA- really don't like canned laughter.

We really really need that finger down throat icon!
