I think it’s real laughter on both shows. People who come to sitcom tapings are usually big fans who are excited to be there. Some of them need to use canned laughter, but Friends and Seinfeld had tons of fans who thought every joke was hilarious.

I still find it awkward though. I wish Seinfeld hadn’t been filmed in front of an audience. It really dates the show, which is too bad, because the writing was excellent.

Going back and watching Seinfeld after years off, it was jarring to hear the laugh track. I still love the show, and at least it's not Big Bang Theory, goddamn that show is soulless.

Calling someone 'bright' is so goddamn patronizing.

All of the modern Friends fans I know basically use it as a white noise machine. Similar to How I Met Your Mother.

The total lack of real conflict and the characters that stay predictably written is very comforting and drama free to people that have anxiety.

Also its a part of trending nostalgia so there is a bit of a gloss added to it as vapid as it may be.

Just like Fuller House or The Connors only they didn’t reboot Friends thank loving god.

All network comedies are bad btw.

I don't get this, and I am a very anxious person. What's the point of a story if nothing changes or gets resolved? Why even bother if there are no stakes?

It's a replacement for having friends and spending time with them

Wait until you find out that since Millennials don't have cable, they've replaced "Reruns of Seinfeld" with "A teenager playing a video game while saying silly things" in their "I need the comfort of having a social life with people who don't know I exist"

I guess I shouldn’t say nothing changes. Characters hook up and get new jobs and make life decisions, but like you said - the stakes are low. Everyone will always be pretty happy and well off at the end of the show. And if they hit a financial rough spot, well that’s where the rest of the Friends chip in.

Like the other guy said, it’s a similar sense of accomplishment and progress to see Joey get a new recliner as it is to see a 19 year old streamer beat Super Mario 64 Dry Dry Docks in a new and interesting way. Both are about as low stakes as it gets but strangely comforting.
