I wish there was an app that would remove the canned laughter from comedy shows. I know if something is funny. I don't need to hear the wah wah wah to tell me😡
Nor do I need to be told to laugh out loud. If something is funny I do not need an LOL prompt; if you intend to signal something is meant light-heartedly an exclamation mark suffices.
Sometime in the 1980's a survey was commissioned to find out the best 'on hold' music and the 'best voice' for call centres. They discovered Vivaldi and a soft Scottish accent were most popular.
It must be time for another survey surely!

Silence with maybe the odd beep so you know you've not been cut off. If my call was as important to them as the robot lady says, they'd have more people to answer the phone

It's not just canned laughter any more. When the football restarted the broadcasters decided we needed artificial crow noise on that, and they had canned applause on the snooker when there was no crowd.
What was funny with the football was that they obviously hadn't listened closely to the footy chants. There were references to activities undertaken by the referee, presumably off the pitch.
