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.
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.

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