I despise laugh tracks.

Even Monty Python's Flying Circus, one of my favourite shows ever, could not escape the debilitating presence of the laugh track. The ending to the hilariously inappropriate 'Undertaker' sketch was pretty much ruined by the forced participation of the audience, to the point that you can't even hear what they're saying in some parts. Fortunately the same sketch on LP can be heard without interference.

The Pythons themselves often mocked laugh tracks by having announcers obviously switch them on and off, which is much funnier than hearing them anywhere else.
