In the essay, "'Ha ha,' he said. 'Ha ha'" written by Chuck Klosterman, his biggest argument is basically that canned laughter is quite possibly the dumbest thing ever. He believes that Americans laugh at unnecessary things too much. Adding fake laughter in the background to make people laugh is pointless according to Klosterman. As much as he hates laugh tracks, I have to say I never really paid much attention to it. So, I decided to enjoy my snow day by watching a few clips for The Big Bang Theory.

Not too often do I have the time to watch tv. When I do, I love watching this show. It doesn’t take much for Sheldon’s quirky humor to make me laugh. The Big Bang Theory incorporates laugh tracks. Honestly, I think I like canned laughter. I love laughing and I tend to laugh a lot! In my opinion, canned laughter makes people feel more comfortable laughing at such weird/funny moments. I think without canned laughter, it might not be as funny.

His argument about Americans laughing at things that aren’t really funny made me think. So maybe we do add too many “haha’s” in texts or giggle when things aren’t funny, but who cares? Laughing is the best. Even if it’s not funny, people should be allowed to laugh without clerks at the grocery store looking at you weird. As long as it’s not rude or inappropriate of course.

This is an episode of The Big Bang Theory where I find Sheldon funny. You might not get all of this if you don't watch this show. It also shows the canned laughter and in my opinion how it makes you laugh.
