Living In A Sitcom Would Be Hell | YBOC (Big Bang Theory, Friends) 

sounds like me 😭

Are you still in denial that we actually existing in a narrative universe... A literal literal universe. ;)

Shhhh shhhhhhhh. You're still a baby. Come back in 15 years and laugh at your own self important comments lol. It's what i do.

Me with my parents

Oh, so true!

“In the year 2020, its sooo awesome with technology, flying cars, curing of diseases and free renewable energy!” The actual year 2020: “please, kill me”

They made a joke in about that in Modern Family! When Gloria has her second child, she said, "It was the hardest twenty minutes of my life!"

MoonShadowWolfe I love Modern Family! Definitely one of the better sitcoms, imo. Black-ish is really good too. It’s quite similar to Modern Family, in a lot of ways.

Lmao

Or if you’re in Glee you’re in high school for about 16839 years

In Family Guy, Bonnie was pregnant for like 4 seasons. In WandaVision they broke the 4th wall and even talked about how fast their kids were growing up!

The permanently pregnant Bonnie was a joke, making fun of how no-one grows up, or nothing changes in these Animated sitcoms.

Also No Exit a famous stage play which they basically stole that from XD. Still a great show.

I love the good place!

Cracked already had after hours

@@j_arrows5898 i miss that show.

I was thinking one ep of close enough then you reminded me of the whole show that I watched whose entire premise is exactly that

Hey thank you!

See, this guy gets it!

@@Drjordanbreeding See man? You're the best thing to happen to the cracked youtube channel since S.W.A.I.M. Keep it up bud! Cheers.

Byron McLaggan ha well I don’t know about that, but it’s a kind thing to say.

@@Drjordanbreeding Seriously, you have the old cracked team spirit and spot on humor. If you, the O'briens, Michael and what's his name? Starts with an "S", I wanna say Sohan, Soran? Something. Lol Anyway, I think, as do others, cleary think you are perfect for the part.

Leo Staley he was a sociopathic narcissist with a crippling drug addiction, so I can believe that he can't/won't learn a lesson.

House was kind of a sitcom though.

Like watching politicians now.

Yeah, big oof for sure

Ha right I'm sure people wouldn't be furious about that.

Jordan Breeding - rabble! 🔥

That would be pretty funny. At least once

His logic is undeniable.

your husband is an idiot

..what would your sign say?

@@dogsdreamtoo8427 He just has an odd sense of humor. One of the many things that attracted me to him.

@@mitchivantaylorov3595 Probably something that I love but can't do like "Dancer" or "Artist". I already know that my husband's would be "Rocket Scientist".

To be fair, that would suck for a lot of things haha

Ever since covid, we had a real-life version of that when the talkshow hosts didn't have an audience to laugh at their jokes anymore.

Mega Man X Powered Up The good ones, like Colbert and Noah, are still having great, if not improved, ratings though. Great to Good comedians can always get a laugh without a live crowd. That’s RU-vids appeal to me for comedic shows(or channels) like this, old cracked, and College Humour to name just 3. Now, success or failure is purely predicated on the performer(s) and their performance. They can’t rely on known basic group mechanics of: “people are more likely to laugh, when others around them laugh” like with standup comedian shows. Instead they have to be funny on their own.

Mega Man X Powered Up Yeah, Covid has made me realise that I’d rather get my “comedy news” from RU-vid channels than most talk show hosts...and that half the time, it was the laugh track keeping me watching those comedy news shows. Never would have guessed how unfunny and boring some of them seem without it.

@@justanotherhappyhumanist8832 Yeah, I usually get my comedy news from Internet Today. Instead of the formal host you would get in those talk shows, it's much more casual, with two hosts that feel like they're just a couple of your friends making fun of how everything sucks.

This video is literally an episode of After Hours titled the best sitcom universe to live in. Correction the title is "The Horrifying Truth of Living in a Sitcom"

those 4 people no longer work at cracked. and presumably the 4 alternate actors also dont work at cracked anymore either (there was a HUGE lay off period during december 2018) the channel Small Beans does a similar show called "off hours" and it WAS written by michael swaim (and others who worked at cracked) but doesn't feature the original cast besides him. this is really old news atm. sorry you had to find out this way.

@@tinseltina Off Hours is done now too. It only got a few episodes.

@@andrewboyd8196 yeah. but it's okay, it was fun while it lasted! i'd rather the crew focus on projects they really like and have inspiration to do rather than just churn out stuff they don't care much about to appease the masses.

@@Richard_Nickerson me too. jordan's doing his best!

Children shouldn’t be on sitcoms, it messes with the development of their personalities and sense of self

No wonder Jordan peele is killing it in the horror genre.

@@ECL28E Exactly.

What was their last name again? 🤫

Heisenberg. That was their last name.

The real fun ones are the sitcoms off Pureflix, they were offensive even with the laugh track. Really cracks me up when it reminds me that it comes from Christians who think they're morally superior.

Just look it up on RU-vid, there’s a ton of playlists

Isnt that basically what a soap opera is?

actually it's always sunny spent an episode with experimenting with that concept

I think the cartoon sitcoms like futurama for example don't have laugh tracks

There are worse lives, I'm sure.

"I JUST WANT TO BE PUUUURE!!"

@@reshpeck bingo

Show them this haha

You could also show them Cracked After Hours, as they go more in depth about it.

@@ap3productions81 Truth. They dug specifically into Friends. That's a great episode.

And math.

also a horrific point of live in a sitcom: Everyone is bad at lying

Sorry!

Sitcom rules tend to be if the scene is about humiliation and an unseen audience, they can hear the laughs. Otherwise they add the audience, like school dreams.

@@Richard_Nickerson There's several true crime cases that say otherwise.

*Chandler and Joey

@@Richard_Nickerson If I remember correctly, in most of those cases, the babies were newborns, the mothers were mostly sedated at birth, and in most cases, the mothers frequently insist that they have the wrong baby at first before being completely gaslit by the nursing staff that made the switch. (Whether accidental or on purpose.) After all, Mom was all drugged up at the time. She can't be expected to remember Baby correctly. Medical professionals wouldn't mess up a KID, would they? Ridiculous to even suggest it.

Didn’t they prove it was real when they saw the baby cry because of Monica like Ben did.

I think that what we can all agree on is that the titular friends are all reprehensible people and the show had deleterious effects on American culture.

I do think he must be evil, yes.

The fact that anyone could stand his voice for more than 10 seconds is more than enough proof of his godly powers.

Key&Peele have a nice take on Urkel, but they pretend it's the actor (Jaleel White) with the powers: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-wb3BuqUnxAU.html

Hektols True

Then she inexplicably married him.

The point is the people hearing your joke should laugh. Not a disembodied audience!

I'M GOING

You're welcome, and I'll see you there!

@@Drjordanbreeding Oh, Tom Cruise says Hi.

@@acekeianar Oh good! He hasn't responded to my texts in forever.

Jordan Breeding Go get your annual Thetan checkup, and consequential removal, then he will speak to you again. Tom’s very conscience of not getting those ancient alien evil spirits inside him again, considering their history making him jump on Oprah’s nice couch.

Or Chuck Cunningham?

They removed the old Darren though b/c he was having severe back and health problems that he would be in pain when doing the show. I agree though when they swap out full grown adults it is pretty terrible.

Roseanne once said "something happens to us every week!" Dan replied "And then it happens again in the summer."

How has it been two days and no one has asked - which soap opera is this? Like the dude from the beginning of Dirty Harry, I gots to know!

@@johnnywheatbread4385 Faith Newman from Young & the Restless. Apparently, according to the wiki page I just looked up, they actually moved her birthday back a few years recently. I swear this girl is a time lord.

Hey thanks!

My mom was a bit like Roseanne, but minus 70% of the love and minus 42% of the insults. Also plus 800% inappropriate sex talk.

I really appreciate that. Seriously.

Worth looking into

Either you're not funny or you're too clever by half. The hard part is figuring out which you are.

Not true that show went through at least 6 sets of Olsen Twins.

I honestly hadn’t seen that episode, so I think it was just luck in some sense haha

Ha good to know!

Hey I really appreciate that! And NOBODY can live up to DOB.

I presume the other studies show much higher figures?

Haha I thought the three people who would get it would love it.

It is, except that his example is trash. The Big Bang Theory doesn't use a laugh track. At least, not for the majority of their filming. When it *is* necessary (say, for outdoors scenes), they always play the footage for a test audience to check the reactions. Funny what you can learn from dvd commentary.

RIGHT? like sure you can just watch the show silently with subtitles, but some of the jokes (a lot of the jokes) require sound because the intonation is like half the comedy. jerry seinfelds only funny cuz he has a funny yelling/freak out voice that sounds like a slide whistle and a trombone had a baby

Silicon Valley on HBO is acutally funny or It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia is the anti sitcom

@@nothanks6549 but the characters aren't comedians and the jokes aren't always funny

MASH DVD's have the option to remove the laugh track. It makes it a black comedy.

Hey I really appreciate that! These are a ton of fun to make. Thanks for watching!

It's not a funny show. If you ever watch it, focus on what they're really saying. I once watched six straight episodes while trapped alone in a hotel room. I laughed twice. I wanted to give them a more than fair shot.

I did like it, actually. The only problem is ...once things like this are pointed out, I can't unsee them. I didn't watch too much in a row, but I've probably seen a little under a season. It could have been great, but these are NOT healthy relationships!!!!

Thanks! This is actually our 18th episode in this series! If you're interested... ru-vid.com/group/PL_saLI-LH-Vpvzwe3yC8l8hWxRGnJ1GUH

You’re absolutely welcome! Thanks for watching!

Holy cow that's crazy. Thanks so much for sharing!

Heck yeah.

My farts are funnier than most Big Bang Theory jokes. Please note the intellectual honesty - I said most. Not saying that Mike Judge isn't hilarious, just that you've set a pretty low bar.

I take it you've never seen Office Space, Idiocracy, or Extract?

Haha I accept your like

@@Drjordanbreeding *blushes*

Absolutely! Thanks so much for watching!

Ha well thanks

Now THAT is something I’d love to make happen and don’t feel weird about haha

Wait... what? Haha

@@Drjordanbreeding great vids man, really cool stuff.

Hank Pretzel oh well thanks! Thanks for watching!

I heard that his affection is negotiable...

Haha well... betrayed by RU-vid yet again!

Honestly, me too.

@@Drjordanbreeding On snap! It's the man himself! I am so glad to see Cracked coming back in any way, and a big fan of everything you are doing here! I hope you don't mind if I give you a little free focus group style feedback. Don't be a afraid, it will be overwhelmingly positive, but is at risk at being somewhat lengthy. So with this episode I really enjoyed all the extra cut away stuff and you running up to the set from the stairs. That was a really nice touch and so true to the content you were covering, also personally I love breaking the fourth wall. I hope it wasn't too much additional effort because I thought it really added to the production value and I'd like to see more like that. When you pointed out how things are without the laugh track, especially the bit with Jake from Brooklyn 99 (which I am presently binging my way through) although it did make me feel real exposed because I, like Jake, continue to make over the top jokes and mannerisms that often do not get laughs in person, but I just keep doing it (screw human people, I'm hilarious, but it's more keyed to the humor of those on the other side of my own 4th wall) I will have to say the stats on peoples sex partners seem... completely inaccurate, at least in 2020 and the last decade. The national center for health statistics should update that. (Actually that's a possible video theory idea for you: that sitcoms could have made us more sexual by normalizing promiscuity) "What even is a friend? What does that word even mean?" Again, very exposed, lol, but that's relatability to your audience. Kudos for that. I think that's most of what I've got to say about this one. I hope you keep going and build up steam for reviving the channel! One of my favorite shows was "People Watching" and imo it was one of the most important entertainment shows on the internet. It never got the recognition it truly deserved. Is there any hope of a season 3? I got the first 2 and treasure it. A little suggestion for you on growing the channel: maybe try to do some crossover/collaborations with other RU-vidrs. I would encourage you to check out BowserVids (He's looking to grow and has a character called Onyx that you could do a horror themed video on with him) MannShorts (they are mostly known for Dnd content but they do other stuff and maybe there is some possible overlap for you two) and Ryan George of screen rant (This one is probably the most likely because your comedy styles are similar and a collab seems obvious). Best of luck to you man, Godspeed.

@@yourfriendlyinternetmeatshield Hey I really appreciate this thoughtful comment. As far as People Watching, I have no idea. That's not something I could pull of on my own, obviously, and I'm not sure what Cracked's plans are at large. As far as collaboration, it's tricky. I'm working on some stuff with a few channels, but literally the worst-performing episode in this entire series was my pseudo-collaboration with Hard Drive haha. I mean, I get that it wasn't really a full-on collab or anything, but people don't seem excited about crossover and change too quickly. It's all a process, and even though this is a channel with a ton of subscribers and content, in many ways it feels almost like starting over. There's just a long way to go to make the thing financially viable and scalable in any major way. We'll just have to see what happens!

@@Drjordanbreeding I didn't have much hope for People Watching. I think it was even still around after the rest of Cracked was no more, simply because it had already been paid for and animation takes so long to produce. Oh well. To be honest I didn't know who Hard Drive was, but I still enjoyed the episode. It didn't have the impact it would had have if I were familiar with him though. You really are starting over man... There is so much content on the channel, and I'm thankful it's all still there, but it's kinda just you trying to be the phoenix ya know? I was late to the party for Cracked, binging years worth of videos a short time before they called it quits. As such it is probably more in my recent memory than alot of other people. Still, I think you can do it. If you can figure out how to make the algorithm work for you and get the attention of those still subscribed, that would be so helpful. Your videos do really retain the flavor of the channel and it's past content, while being up to date, and new. Is anyone else going to be helping you get this thing up and running like it once was, or is it basically you going solo? Either way, best of luck to you, and thanks for getting back to me. I'm rooting for you!

@@yourfriendlyinternetmeatshield I think things will build up! Just going to take some time, but I'm excited about the future of it all.

Ha well thank you. I spent way too long on it.

@@Drjordanbreeding at least now that it's finished you can use it forever XD

@@DoctorX17 Hmmmmmm possibly haha

Ha I shan’t do that, but I do very much appreciate the kind words!

@@Drjordanbreeding No man, those kind words were contingent on the marital stipulation. I demand my words to be retracted from your emotions otherwise i will sue you. Good day sir

@@Monkeyman3000 conditional praise? How gauche. I love you unconditionally, Dr. J. No homo.

Haha fair enough!

Thanks! Doing our best.

Hey thanks! The commenter is too

I hope so too!

That was a groundbreaking show!

This is the theme to Garry's Show, The theme to Garry's show. Garry called me up and asked if I would write his theme song. I'm almost halfway finished, How do you like it so far, How do you like the theme to Garry's Show. This is the theme to Garry's Show, The opening theme to Garry's show. This is the music that you hear as you watch the credits. We're almost to the part of where I start to whistle. Then we'll watch "It's Garry Shandling's Show". (whistles) This was the theme to Garry Shandling's show.

Conditioned response is some bull****, especially if you're not even aware of it. Now, if you'll excuse me, I have to go check facebook. I might have gotten some likes from people I haven't spoken to in twenty-two years!

Oooo. My bad.

In The Office (UK version at least) there was no laugh track, and it still featured people saying funny stuff surrounded by other people who don't laugh or even smile. This comes off as particularly cruel because most of the comedy is about how awkward the situations are, and that awkwardness could easily be broken by someone laughing it off. Compare that with M*A*S*H, which aired in the UK without a laugh track. In that, it comes off as completely natural - different characters will laugh, or at least smile at jokes, depending on the situation and their relationships. Weirdly, a show set during the Korean war would probably the least hellish by the standards of this video.

Yeah haha I don't know if the answer it, "But it'd be great to fight in the Korean War!"

@Cicero Progontus, my issues are situational, not friend related.

Yeah that was... a joke... I have... friends.
