The laugh track was a staple of mid twentieth century television comedy, with producers sweetening sitcom scenes using recordings of real or staged audience reactions. As the technique fell out of fashion on TV, the sound found a second life online, where creators use it ironically to crown jokes, fails and awkward moments. Short clips circulate on soundboards and meme pages, and the exaggerated, slightly dated feel is exactly the point: it signals that something is supposed to be funny, whether or not it actually is.

A classic canned laugh track of a sitcom audience laughing, used by creators to add instant comedy to jokes, memes, reactions and fail videos online.
This is a short canned laugh track, the kind of prerecorded audience laughter once layered into sitcoms to tell viewers when to laugh. A burst of chuckles, giggles and hearty guffaws swells together, warm and slightly artificial, peaking fast and fading out in just over two seconds. It lands as a wink to the audience, turning an awkward pause or a weak punchline into a shared joke. Creators love it because it instantly frames anything as comedy, even when nothing funny was actually said.
