As I read this article it really made me opened my eyes to how fake the laughs behind sitcoms really are. Whenever I watch a sitcom I'm not thinking about the canned laughter, I'm just thinking about how funny they are. I don't really understand what the big deal is behind the fake laughter? It would be like taking the music aways from a movie. Most movies have canned music; it's not live or in the moment. If you take the music away the movie is surly not as fun to watch. Well in my opinion the same goes for a sitcom. Adding the laughter just makes the moment that much funnier. I know that when I'm laughing by myself I don't think things are as funny as when I am laughing with a friend. When you're laughing with a group of people it makes it better.
Another thing that was interesting to me was about when he spent time in Germany and talked about how German's never laugh at anything unless they actually think the situation is funny. I think that's so strange. I can't imagine not laughing in awkward situations or laughing just to fill the void of silence. I laugh all the time, and I laugh really easily. I laugh a lot when I'm nervous! I just think it shows that I am a happy person and can laugh at myself; I don't take things too seriously. I think that laughing is healthy and important and people need to be able to laugh other than when they're just laughing at a joke or at the tv.
