	Laughing Man (Ghost in the Shell) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The Laughing Man is such an expert that he can "hack the eyes" of entire crowds, in real time — hacking their visual cyber-brain implants, either to make himself appear invisible or to hide his face with the cartoon logo.
		It is possible that The Laughing Man knew this when he wrote his famous quotation on a wall in the Ministry of Health, Labour and Welfare and ended it with "or should I?".
		Despite his status, the person known as the Laughing Man is himself not the original, only embarking on the kidnapping caper after coming across a letter in the depths of the Net detailing the extensive corruption in the corporate world.

		Laugh tracks were sometimes removed in the case of Very Special Episodes, where we replaced our funny bones with our important-lesson-learning bones.
		The laugh track eventually evolved to the point where it could react more in accordance to actual hilarity, and became advanced enough that it could “Awwww” at adorable kids and whistle at hot girls.

	DVD Talk Forum - My biggest Sitcom Pet Peeve...
		Hmm, the "laugh tracks" at the two sitcom tapings I've been to (Newsradio and That 70's Show) were for the most part real (as in, recordings of the studio audience).
		It's even worse when the laugh track is stuck on a scene filmed outdoors and obviously not infront of a studio audience (cough, Will and Grace, cough).
		In both cases, they did instruct the audience on their laughing (or oohing) for retakes, when they thought it was excessive (or not enough).

	Something Old, Nothing New: Bring Back the Laugh Track!
		Well, the laugh track is the "Comedy Tonight" of a sitcom: its purpose is not to tell the audience that individual jokes are funny, but to tell people who have just tuned in that it's a comedy.
		The laugh track is incredibly irritating with an unfunny show, because there's nothing more irritating than hearing forced laughter on the sountrack when you yourself have found nothing to laugh at.
		A laugh track is useful because it identifies the show as a comedy, right away, for people who have just tuned in.

	TVparty: the laugh track
		Early uses of the laugh track are quaint by today's standards: 'The Adventures of Ozzie and Harriet' used only one laugh throughout its half-hour running time, and 'The Abbott and Costello Show' used an uproarious laugh track which ran continuously, regardless of the action on screen.
		The laugh machine remains in use, but few "laugh men" (as they are known in the post-production industry) have come forward to acknowledge or discuss their work.
		The engineer "orchestrates" the laugh track by using the keyboard to select the type, sex, and age of the laugh, while playing the foot pedal to determine each reaction's length.

	Evil Laugh Review -- Crazy Ralph Films
		Evil Laugh tells the story of a group of friends who are helping a professor renovate an old house which, years earlier, served as an orphanage before a psycho killed all the children...
		Laugh, released in 1988 was the first of those films and it should have been given the credit that Scream reaped.
		But Evil Laugh is still good and it's place in horror history should not be forgotten.
