Angriest Rice Cooker Director’s Cut 53–On television

Here’s another one that’s based on a piece of information that I’m not entirely sure is…um…true. I think that this is based on something that I heard on NPR years ago when they were talking about the old laugh track machine, which was recorded out of laughs from I Love Lucy and such. I don’t think that they actually use that machine anymore, although it’s entirely possible that they still use some of the same laughs. And I guess that quite a few of the people who were in the audience for I Love Lucy are probably dead now (if not “long” dead as this comic argues). But I just love the concept of laughter living on forever and being dredged up by some sit com necromancer so much that It doesn’t bug me that much if it’s not entirely factually true.

The cheery laugh tracks on contemporary sit-coms are based on recordings of people long dead. Laughter from beyond the grave. God, I love television.

    You seem to be missing the actual comment from this one. But I vaguely remember it anyway. I think. Maybe. Maybe not.

  2. Sophie says:

    Uh, and by comment, I of course meant comic, but my brain has apparently ceased to function correctly. Carry on.

    Once again, I seem to have mistaken uploading the comic for posting the comic. Should be fixed now.
