When I read his argument there were times when I did agree with what he said and there were times that I did not. I do agree that most, not all, Americans don’t really have a true laughter anymore. The one sentence that really caught my eye is when he said, “a real laugh, a fake real laugh, and a filler laugh.” I see many people and even I participate in a fake real laugh. To me this is when someone is laughing but laughing at a fake statement that is not really funny to them. In the end just being “polite” as Klosterman says. I have experienced this fake real laugh myself. Sometimes when I talk to people and they something that that they think is funny, but I do not I just start laughing because I want to be polite because they probably wanted to make me laugh. One of the things that I did not agree with is that laughing tracks are used because “Normal people” don’t really know what is funny so using laughing tracks can show them what to laugh at. To me laughing tracks are just annoying. I feel like when I am trying to watch a show and I hear that laughing sound in the background it’s kind of like when someone’s phone goes off in a movie theater. Also I think that laughing tracks don’t really guide people to what is suppose to be funny. People will laugh at something when it is funny to them.
