Line 59:
** Although the Latin American dub mercifully removed it from both shows.
* [[Aaron Sorkin]] used to engage in knock down, drag out fights with ABC execs over the laugh track in''[[Sports Night]].'' He hated it, they demanded it, and for a brief period at the beginning of the show's run there was a laugh track. Sorkin eventually won out.
* The 1980s comedy ''[[Sledge Hammer!]]'' had its first-season, early-episodes laugh track edited out for the DVD release. The director's commentary explains that the talking heads at the studio forced the laugh track on him because they felt the show was too violent without it.
* ''[[Little Britain]]''.
* 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.

* Used in [[The Nostalgia Chick]]'s review of ''[[Grease]]'' after Sandy says that she now knows that Danny truly respects her.
* In ''[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-HTqbxYsYwc The Dr. Steel Show, Episode 1]'', [[Doctor Steel]] enters his lab at the beginning of the show to wild applause, which he reacts humbly to... then [[Lampshade Hanging|reaches over and turns a dial which turns off the applause track]].

Line 276:
** However later seasons, as well as the [[After Show]] ''[[Archie Bunker's Place]]'', used a laughtrack reportedly at Carol O Conner's insistance.
* Latin American hits, ''[[El Chavo del Ocho]]'' / ''[[El Chapulin Colorado]]''. It is a long story. These shows were originally abusive of the laugh tracks, but the later sketch show ''Chespirito'' from the same author that often included ''[[El Chavo del Ocho]]'' and ''[[El Chapulin Colorado]]'' did not have a laugh track and it was explicitly mentioned that it was for respect of the audience. However, it is worth noticing that it actually used certain music tracks that played after each joke.
* ''[[Home Improvement (TV series)|Home Improvement]]'' not only used a live studio audience's laughter, but they also got their extras from audience volunteers. For "[[Show Within a Show|Tool Time]]" the studio audience was the ''actual'' studio audience, and you can see how people are laughing at the gags on the show as though they were at a sitcom taping.
* ''[[The Daily Show]]'' and likewise its sister show ''[[The Colbert Report]]'' are filmed in front of a live audience. Both hosts interact with it fairly often, usually by telling them an off color joke was still funny, or criticizing their choice to laugh at a gag.
* Fox's ''[[Titus]]'' also used a live studio audience; episode tapings were performed as if the episode was live, with the show unfolding in the exact manner it would appear on TV (with the cast rehearsing the episode all week for the Friday taping) and capturing the studio audience's laughter as it happened. Even the cutaways towards Chris Titus' narration space were shown to the audience during the moments in the episodes they would occur.
