I dislike programs containing volume controlled laughing machine commonly known as Canned Laughter.
Exampling an SBS shown UK program, “8 out of 10 cats does countdown”. The program’s Canned Laughter is very loud and frequently heard.
The Graham Norton Show also contains loud canned laughter. Regardless whom participating gusts are, the few times I glimpsed the program, the program seems designed to entertain childlike intelligence, laughing at almost all sentence endings.
During 1971 to 1987 British BBC program entitled, The Two Ronnies, performed sketches and scripted news program announcements. As the scripted lines were spoken rather quickly for my liking compared to real news reporters, canned laughter quickly jumped in even before humorous punchlines were completed.
My opinion being audiences are being hurried through thinkable content in order to classical condition listeners not to think about spoken sentences thinkable content, encouraging hurried shallow childlike intelligence. Audiences have only enough time between sentences interrupted loud canned laughter to judge compared to existing childhood shallow memories at best.
I’d compare analysing above conditioned behaviours with school education face to face learning.
During year 1999, on being prompted by an Australian radio program Radio National morning Life Matters guest speaker regarding school education mental stress had on young children in order to gain radio listeners’ confidence. I asked questions from an A grade educated man who at the time was suffering from depression, he told me he was taking the strongest anti depression medication his psychiatrist could prescribe.
On questioning him about his schooling, he stated that he had to be seen by his fellow class students to be getting classroom teacher student opportunities of conversations where perceived humour could be had, he had to be seen by classroom students to be getting moments of laughable humorous punchlines quickly by being the first to laugh and laughing loudly so every student could hear he got humorous punchlines.
My argument, because school students spend so many hours without getting brain rest periods, mental stress builds, cortisol levels within blood increases, adrenaline increases, fight flight hyperactivity incentives quickening brains’ primitive responses, short periods of distractions are felt with positive reinforcement brain chemical stimuli. Regardless how pointless teacher’s statements are addressing any particular chosen student. Remaining classroom students are wanting/anticipating humorous punchlines, feeling intelligent for believing laughable humour has been perceived, classroom of students competing with each other to be heard laughing.
I have heard from another young male adult suffering from overwhelming mental depression, saying, “laughter is the second best feeling after sex”.
I on rare occasions watch TV broadcasts of Melbourne and Canadian comedy festivals. Halls of listening audiences laughing at stand up comedians (to my standards) many comedians aren’t funny enough for audiences to leave comfortable housing, pay money to sit in crowded halls to listen to badly scripted punchline comedians.
My belief is that many people whom suffer from school students mental stress disorders, suffering a degree of repressed mental depression, such people want to believe delusions of intelligence by getting comedian performance punchlines with an added feature of audiences loud laughter distracts audiences awareness of their own constant mental depression.
Television programs labelled comedies, added canned laughter are creating revisited childhood brain chemical stimuli allusion of being in a classroom atmosphere of young children fellow supporters of assumed laughable punchlines, brain stimuli self-perceived intelligence for getting anticipated humorous punchlines.
My mentioned above 1999 medicated for depression man today quickly gets my attempts at punchline humour, he quickly laughs while I barely indicate a smile, I assume leaving him unrewarded for getting humorous punchlines intelligence reinforced by myself.
Comedy television programs reinforce self-perceived intelligence brain chemical stimuli rewards distractions from probable quiet time self-reflections, assessing the true value of humour and other forms of information to be worthy of learning or evaluated as a waste of time, which evaluation of time spent on whether to remember information should have began as a child, to have continued during aged: 5; 6; 7; continued years, instead school classroom spelling and mathematical calculating number tables, many hours at a time periods, builds mental stress memories retained as learning thinking traumas, medicated by adrenaline, loudness of laughter interruptions to sentences reduces opportunities to evaluate true values of sentence humorous punchlines, merely laughing in need of classical conditioning laughter brain chemical stimuli.
I bother to type this reading to have a value to readers to express above reading has more relevance to readers than to comment frequently criticise politicians poor performances, which I suggest are intentional, no change to improve life comes from criticising something that is intentional propaganda free speech society democratic governments which is little more than a 2 party dictatorship whom criticise each other’s petty personal performances.
