Friends gets really creepy without the laugh track

I’ll be there for you sounds more like a threat.

IT MAY BE universally recognised as one of television’s most popular sitcoms but if you remove the laugh track Friends isn’t always so funny.

In fact, it gets downright creepy at times. It’s almost difficult to watch.

Take the episode where Ross is having issues with attacking women for example.

The reaction on screen seems very different without the laugh track, and conversations become even more awkward as the episode progresses.

Let’s just say Ross Geller doesn’t come out of it looking good.
