Let's talk about their exaggerated fake laughing going on during shows since Anthony left.

One thing you might not notice going on is the exaggerated fake laughing at most stuff. When Anthony was there, it was all legitimate. He would chuckle lots at most things but you could sense it was all real.

Since he left, these guys are laughing way too much at stuff that doesn't deserve the level it's getting. It's like they're trying to show you there's still lots of hilarious things happening. When really there isn't. When stuff is actually funny, it usually gets spoiled by their over-the-top reactions. They're trying to proove, hey we used to be in the comedy stations and we still got it, we're not washed-up. This show still rocks.

How about when it's just Opie and Jim starting out the beginning of programs. They try and get conversations going but it's always awkward. It's as if they don't really respect each other behind the scenes or something. Not much laughing going on when it's just those two. Fuckin stinks.

So Jimmy tries to throw in some witty remarks to be amusing but those attempts have a fairly high strike-out rate and usually don't make opie laugh. Fuckin aloof half the time. So they try and stick to topics they agree upon but there's really not much. Gets used up fairly quickly and then they get into the boring pontificating about serious topics in the news. Like where's the fuckin funny?

When they get a 3rd mic in they really try and ramp things up trying to make you think, hey things are hilarious now, check out all the laughter. Yeah but it wasn't as funny as you're trying to make it sound like it was. It really wasn't. When you notice them doing this, the show really starts to get annoying. I couldn't handle it anymore and tuned out over a month ago.

Anthony fake laughs all da time on TACS

Ha.Ha. NOISES....

Bah bah bah bu bah bah bah.

Great now i got that stuck in my head

Odd point to make being as Anthony was the one who laughed at everything. It probably just seems like it now because he's not there also laughing.

Not on board - as far as fake laughs go, Anthony is by far the worst. Although, with Ant it was generally just when guests were in (he does the same thing on TACS now, chuckling non-stop with a guest to move the convo along). Opie fake laughs when he's telling a story about breakfast.

Opie's been doing that for a while when he tries to sell an awful bit. His fucking low out of breath laugh enraged me nearly everyday when he would go to the phone and it would be Bobo or Lady Di. Jim would sigh and he would start with that guttural laugh and I wish someone would run in and drive an axe through his skull.

I agreed with you until "since Anthony left"

I don't disageee with you, but I stopped reading when you said it was all legitimate when Anthony was there. Really, was it? Anthony never fake laughed at anything? He never went "EEYYEAHHH SADDLEBAGS HAHAHAHA!" or "EEYEAAAHHHH AIDS COCKS HAHAHAHA!"? There was even a poster here last year who just posted replies as Ant's fake laughter.

I was trying to make a thread on this last night.Travis is the worst at this.Whats worse does it like hes sucking up to the bosses.Jim also guilty of the fake/pity laugh.They did have Patton Oswalt on so yesterdays show was full of them

Its called trying to make humor where there is none. Leave it alone.
