Why don't they have cry tracks in tv shows?
They have laugh tracks. Why not cry tracks?
The laugh track really helped me enjoy shows like MASH properly. There's nothing as embarrassing as laughing out of sync. Or emitting the wrong kind of laugh.
That was a funny scene. Hmmm, what kind of laugh is appropriate? A chuckle, chortle, guffaw, giggle, a snigger or a snicker, a howl, the infamous LOL, ROFL, or maybe just a polite tee-hee?
Isn't laughing complicated?
They should put crying tracks in movies, too. That way, I know when and how hard to cry in a movie like The Notebook. That movie should have two crying tracks. One for the woman, who is upset about what's happening, and one for the man, who's upset about being made to sit through it.
Other good tracks include:
boredom track
restless track
snoozing track
confused track
more butter on my popcorn track
