RobBairn1876 Posted March 29, 2012 Share Posted March 29, 2012 I've just recently got into the show, and I've watched six episodes over the past 2 nights. It's on basically every night now, it's brilliant. Wait, am I a geek now because I've confessed to liking this? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ScottR96 Posted April 5, 2012 Share Posted April 5, 2012 Anyone watching 'Big Bang Night' on E4? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
forehead7 Posted April 5, 2012 Share Posted April 5, 2012 Aye. And I fucking told you(all) it wasn't a laugh track, it's a live audience so it's not hollow, it's the general reaction of people. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lisandro Posted April 6, 2012 Share Posted April 6, 2012 Aye. And I fucking told you(all) it wasn't a laugh track, it's a live audience so it's not hollow, it's the general reaction of people. Lies. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
the jambo-rocker Posted April 6, 2012 Share Posted April 6, 2012 (edited) Aye. And I fucking told you(all) it wasn't a laugh track, it's a live audience so it's not hollow, it's the general reaction of people. Tbf, most of their jokes will raise a smile, but not as much laughter as that. If that really is an audience chosen at random, the general reactions of people worry me.

yoda Posted April 6, 2012 Share Posted April 6, 2012 It is essentially a laugh track. It will probably take - on average - 4 takes to do a scene. The audience won't laugh every time, so you record their laughter from when they laugh and stick it in post-production for scenes where they didn't really laugh. It's a mix of "proper" laughter and a laugh track. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Raith Against The Machine Posted April 6, 2012 Share Posted April 6, 2012 People will laugh a lot more at stuff in person, too. I don't know if it's because you're primed for it or something, but you'll laugh a hell of a lot more in the audience at a stand-up gig than you will watching something equally funny on the telly at home, especially if you're alone. If you watch some of the Big Bang Theory gag reels on Youtube you see how the cast and the audience react at the filming, especially when there's someone with an odd laugh... 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
forehead7 Posted April 6, 2012 Share Posted April 6, 2012 Lies. You're an idiot. Tbf, most of their jokes will raise a smile, but not as much laughter as that. If that really is an audience chosen at random, the general reactions of people worry me. I don't think it's chosen at random, I think you can just turn up. It is essentially a laugh track. It will probably take - on average - 4 takes to do a scene. The audience won't laugh every time, so you record their laughter from when they laugh and stick it in post-production for scenes where they didn't really laugh. It's a mix of "proper" laughter and a laugh track. Funny how they didn't mention that at all during that show last night 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Big River Posted April 6, 2012 Share Posted April 6, 2012 There's no way people laugh that much, basically every line in it has laughter after it. It may be filmed in front of a live audience but I refuse to believe anyone is dumb enough to piss themselves at every single line. I used to like this programme quite a lot but its become incredibly stale recently, partly due to the newer seasons not being as good and partly due to E4 utterly ripping the arse out of it. It's the new friends, without the same rewatch value. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gaz Posted April 6, 2012 Share Posted April 6, 2012 I'm still a big fan, easily my favourite comedy of the last few years. I've always had a thing for Kaley Cuoco as well, which helps. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jimmy85 Posted April 6, 2012 Share Posted April 6, 2012 Funny how they didn't mention that at all during that show last night I'd say it's fairly obvious to anyone who isn't a complete moron that each scene won't be completed in one take. By those rules it's fairly easy to assume that some form of recorded laughter will be used. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

the jambo-rocker Posted April 8, 2012 Share Posted April 8, 2012 I'm starting to warm more to Bernadette, as Cuoco just isn't as hot as she used to be. The size of those knockers on her... 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm guessing the whole thing was puntastic, Sheldong, Lenhard, Penny Chews, Wollotits etc etc 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

deadasdillinger Posted April 21, 2012 Share Posted April 21, 2012 I'm more into the less mainstream comedies like Curb, Mighty Boosh, Armando Iannuci's stuff, but I'm not snobby enough to reject a comedy on the basis that its a big American sitcom with a laugh track - I love Seinfeld, for instance. But having recently been subjected to this by the missus, I can honestly say I have never seen a worse show. I've seen three or four episodes and have yet to even smile. All I think when watching it is what a shower of absolute wanks the characters are, and utter bafflement that anyone could enjoy it. Absolute dog shit. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
