Sorry, I wasn’t completely clear, I actually meant like why have a live studio audience at ALL in these kinds of shows these days. It just seems like such an outdated thing to me, personally.

I feel like I’d enjoy pretty much any show with disembodied laughter a lot lot more without the disembodied laughing.

And, I know, they’ve done clips of Friends with the laughing removed and yeah it’s creepy as fuck and weird lol but obviously that’s mainly cos the actors aren’t adjusting the performance to the lack of laughter 😂
