Laugh track: Difference between revisions - Wikipedia

Line 250:

Most episodes of ''[[Only Fools and Horses]]'' feature a studio audience; the exceptions, which featured no laughter at all, were all Christmas specials, "[[To Hull and Back]]", "[[A Royal Flush]]" and the second part of "[[Miami Twice]]". For their DVD releases, "A Royal Flush" (which was edited to remove over 20 minutes of footage) had an added laughter track, as did the second part of "Miami Twice" (which was merged with the first part to make ''Miami Twice: The Movie'').{{citation needed|date=December 2021}}

Beginning in the late 1990s, comedies such as ''[[The Royle Family]]'' and ''[[The Office (UK)|The Office]]'', werepioneered presented in the mode ofa [[cinéma vérité]] style without audience laughter.{{citation needed|date=December 2021}} This largely continued into 21st century sitcoms. Although ''[[Green Wing]]'' does not feature audience laughter, partly because of its surreal nature, it does feature unusual [[lazzi]] techniques, where the film of the episode is slowed down immediately following a joke. ''[[Mrs Brown's Boys]]'' and ''[[Still Open All Hours]]'' are notable reversions to the older format with a studio audience.{{citation needed|date=December 2021}}
