Is lack of trust in their comedy or they really think the public is that dumb they need to know when to laugh?

Or is a by product of its former format, the live laughs with a crowd while filming?

    So you’ll know it’s supposed to be funny.
    If you’ve ever watched the the videos of the Big Bang Theory sitcom with the laugh tracks removed, you’ll notice it feels a lot more like a group of people being shitty and verbally abusive towards each other and it’s not all that funny without being told to laugh.
    Why go through the trouble of writing an actual funny dialogue when you can just tell the viewers it’s funny and they’ll laugh?
