Welcome to the Unpopular Opinion community!


How voting works:

Vote the opposite of the norm.


If you agree that the opinion is unpopular give it an arrow up. If it's something that's widely accepted, give it an arrow down.



Guidelines:

Tag your post, if possible (not required)


  • If your post is a "General" unpopular opinion, start the subject with [GENERAL].
  • If it is a Lemmy-specific unpopular opinion, start it with [LEMMY].


Rules:

1. NO POLITICS


Politics is everywhere. Let's make this about [general] and [lemmy] - specific topics, and keep politics out of it.


2. Be civil.


Disagreements happen, but that doesn’t provide the right to personally attack others. No racism/sexism/bigotry. Please also refrain from gatekeeping others' opinions.


3. No bots, spam or self-promotion.


Only approved bots, which follow the guidelines for bots set by the instance, are allowed.


4. Shitposts and memes are allowed but...


Only until they prove to be a problem. They can and will be removed at moderator discretion.


5. No trolling.


This shouldn't need an explanation. If your post or comment is made just to get a rise with no real value, it will be removed. You do this too often, you will get a vacation to touch grass, away from this community for 1 or more days. Repeat offenses will result in a perma-ban.



Instance-wide rules always apply. https://legal.lemmy.world/tos/

I think most people say that it's not because it's popular to do so. The series has some genuinely funny bits.

This post is why this community exists. I salute your bravery.

There are some genuinely funny bits, but it's been so long since I've watched it, I can only think of a few off the cuff.

There's a youtube video out there where someone took some random scenes and removed the laugh track to "prove" it's not funny. The problem with that is the pacing for the dialog is accounting for the laughs, so there's a lot of awkward pauses that you normally don't notice.

I could see that being REALLY weird with pauses where the laugh track should be.

Yep. The timing just doesn't work without the laugh track since they've taken it into consideration during production. If they removed the laugh track and the pauses, the jokes would land as they were supposed to.
