10 . Some TV shows are really popular, including the sitcom The Big Bang Theory. If you are a fan of sitcoms, you must be familiar with the laughter in sitcoms. But do you know if the laughter is real?
One kind of laughter is called canned laughter. According to the BBC, during the 1950s, a US sound engineer(音响师) named Charley Douglass created canned laughter. He recorded(录制) different kinds of laughter, including giggles, laughing out loudly and children’s laughter. This was the early form of canned laughter.
Canned laughter helps the audience(观众) of TV shows understand when to laugh. Many popular TV dramas, like 2 Broke Girls, used canned laughter. You can also hear canned laughter in Chinese sitcoms, such as Home with Kids and IPartment.
Canned laughter was used in many sitcoms for about 10 years, until some people complained(抱怨) that it sounded too silly. They thought real laughter was more believable. Some famous sitcoms, such as Friends and The Big Bang Theory, all use real laughter.
How do they get the real laughter? The Big Bang Theory sells tickets to the audience around the world to join their live recordings. So all the laughter you hear is from the real audience.
There are also professional(专业的) “laughers”. They are good at laughing loudly. They sit with the live studio audience to get everyone else to laugh at just the right moment.
