    For example, when climbing a ladder something will happen and the characters will twist and turn to make it as bad (or funny) as possible. What makes it worse is the constant canned laughter which makes it feel even less funny because it's like we're being told `oh, look, isn't that hilarious – you should laugh now'. It is also embarrassing to watch it and realise that the only laughter in your front room is coming from the TV itself!

    Never seen a cartoon with laughing in it
    And in real life shows they never have the twisting turning thing

    Could be any number of sitcoms.

    things are quiet until hitler decides he'd like to invade russia
    so, he does
    the russians are like "OMG WTF D00DZ, STOP TKING"
    and the germans are still like "omg ph34r n00bz"
    the russians fall back, all the way to moscow
    and then they all begin h4xing, which brings on the russian winter
    the germans are like "wtf, h4x"
    -- WW2 for the l33t

    Over here in the UK, M*A*S*H originally aired without canned laughter, and I thought it was great; when Sky ran it again some years ago, they gave us the canned version, and consequently spoiled it completely.

    Canned laughter suxxorz
