* Possibly lampshaded in the "webcast" parts of ''[[iCarly]]'' (as in, the bits where we're watching the [[Show Within a Show]]) with Sam's remote. Usually [[Once an Episode]], she'll hold it up and press a button, which cues the laughter. It's played straight in the show proper, though. |

* ''[[True Jackson, VP|True Jackson]]'' begins each episode with a narration by Keke Palmer telling us that the show was filmed in front of a live studio audience, but if you listen closely, you can still hear the same stock laughs heard in the rest of the Nickelodeon/Disney Channel [[Kid Com|Kid Coms]]. Filmed before a studio audience it may be, but laugh tracks still came into play ''some''where. |

* Similar to the ''[[Out of Jimmy's Head]]'' example below, the laugh track in their ''Brian O'Brian'' shorts actually make them ''less'' funny; it's a pretty poor fit for the shorts' style. |

* ''[[That's So Raven]]'' and ''[[Wizards of Waverly Place]]'' are also glaringly obvious because the shows are filled with special effects that could not possibly have been shown to any live audience. It's pretty bad when even the nine year old wonders how the hell the audience could react on the spot to Raven having her visions or when Alex gave one of her spells. |

* The laughter in the standup scenes in ''[[Seinfeld]]'' sounds rather jarringly fake compared to the audience response in the rest of the show, presumably because they got a handful of actors in to play the standup patrons. |

* The unnecessary laugh track in ''[[Out of Jimmy's Head]]'' ([[Network Decay|a live action show on Cartoon Network]]) manages to make the show ''less'' funny. It sounds especially phony, and is an awkward fit for the show's absurdist and cartoony sense of humor. |
