Faux News has changed the laugh track for The half hour news hour

[brettdale]

They have added more claps and the laughter is clearer, and they have toned down the laughter from that one guy, I guess they were taking notice of all the comments on youtube.

1. I'd expect no less from the favorite news channel of sheep.

It's very telling that Fux creates an unholy turkey, then, when they discover nobody likes it, instead of changing or canning the show, they tinker around with the laugh track. Clearly, Fux regards it's viewers as sheep who will follow whatever the "virtual sheep" on the laugh track are doing. If the laugh track contains applause, well then, the show must be great. Baaa.

2. That laugh track they had originally

just reminded me of something ripped off an old time comedy show. Very lame. I'm sure the new one will be equally lame.

3. This reminds me of the Monty Python sketch about the funniest joke. During WWII,

the British inadvertently discover a joke that is so funny that all who hear it die laughing. Through research they develop military applications for it, where it becomes translated into German (through dedicated teams of translators each working on a tiny part of the joke), and then British soldiers recite the joke in German while on the front lines, causing the deaths of the Germans.

Hitler takes an interest, and the Germans get to working on their own versions of the joke, which are, of course, pathetic. ("My dog has no nose." "How does he smell?" "Terrible!" --actually, I liked that one...)

4. I noticed some unusual sounds from the audience, too

The shouts of "Wunderbar!" and "Ist Gut!" were rather jarring.

5. A changed laugh track doesn't change the fact that the show just ... isn't ... funny.

6. Shhhh... Faux doesn't know that

and they sure don't know funny.

But this whole fiasco is hilarious.
Can't wait for the lemmings to jump ship with their tales of woe
