Laugh tracks were a staple of television comedy from the 1950s onward, when producers sweetened live audience recordings with canned laughter to cue viewers when to laugh. The technique carried over into radio, variety shows and later internet comedy, where editors use the same sound as a shorthand for a punchline. This short clip captures the familiar sitcom bed of audience laughter blending into applause, the kind of audio used across countless prank compilations, fail videos and meme edits to make a moment feel like a studio taping.
