…so says Breitbart concerning his appearance on Bill Maher’s show.
But it is Ben Shapiro who actually nails the technique being used:
But I contend that there’s one objective indicator that Stewart and Maher have lost their ability to be funny: their audience is so stacked that they laugh at clearly unfunny lines – they’re living laugh tracks.
Let me give you an example, I like McHale’s Navy loved it as a kid and have all 4 seasons of it. Tim Conway is just dead funny. Watch the DVD’s and you will laugh a lot. Now watch the McHale’s Navy Movie from 1964. Same actors, same type of comedy but you laugh less, why? No laugh track to carry the marginal jokes.
