    There’s your problem. Just keep the laugh track on and it stays funny.

    Same deal with Friends and also a fair amount of standup.

      If your jokes aren’t funny without putting fake forced laughter behind them then they shouldn’t be said.

      This show had a character that physically could not speak to women without being intoxicated. I think they eventually created a pharmaceutical drug to resolve this.

      EDIT: As for Friends, there was a lot of fat phobia and gay panic.

        If I recall, they literally just dropped it one episode and acknowledged it with an “oh well.”
