Laugh tracks expose a distrust of the audience's ability to detect a joke, and explaining the joke does the same exact thing. Do a Breakfast Club thing and move on, don't take a break to catch everyone up on what's going on.

Guy who blurts out offensive things as though he knows they are offensive but doesn't care? Thanks, Chevy Chase. That character will continue to be funny even after you run out of National Lampoons money and have to crawl back to TV.

I'm on board for the premise, but this execution is questionable.; May 13, 2009 at 6:50 PM
