#13For me this is pure torture.
This is my nightmare. Laugh tracks are one of the most obnoxious sound additions to any piece of media, to me. If the situation is supposed to be funny, it should be self evident, and should no require some additional cue. Conversely, if something is not funny, the laugh track sounds forced, and it creates a really unpleasant viewing experience for me.
In fairness, often “laugh tracks” are actually live studio audiences (eg Big Bang Theory) and much like how live concert recordings (where you can hear the crowd) are sometimes great when it’s a good concert, hearing the studio audience can improve you’re experience of a genuinely funny TV show. The problem is when it’s artificially added or you hear it on a show you don’t find funny; then it goes from being a subtle improvement to a massively jarring distraction.
However given how jarring it is when you don’t find something funny compared with how little it adds to the overall comedy, I can totally understand why people often hate hearing laughter in shows.

#15Pretty cool, how does it work?
it just listens for silence and cues some audio files in the background. it works most of the time, but could definately be improved.

#16Awesome hack! Thank you for arranging the stupid hackathon edition in Sweden (participated the first time).
I really want to organize one of these where I live, but I'm afraid nobody would come. This is the sort of stuff that I love doing, and this really is a great hack.

I made a chrome extension a good while back that only ran on Facebook, I assume it still works. Here's the link if it helps: https://github.com/JamieFarrelly/zuckerberg-reactions/blob/m...

developer/organizer here. hi! arranging a stupid hackathon is almost too easy, and loads of fun. attendees are usually very forgiving and happy, and if something fails it is stupid and therefor on brand. i make them annually in sweden, and this was year no3. fantastic experience.

Thanks for the info! Unfortunately the tech community where I am has shrunk to almost nothing due to the recession, so I don't think there would be enough people joining :(
