That short moment of silence between the end of the canned laughter and the beginning of the polite clapping is one of the most uncomfortable I've ever experienced on TV. Suits the song very well.

Dude what the fuck???? Is the canned laughter and clapping completely fake??? It must be…. This dude is absolutely killing it but the producers thought they had to add laughter and clapping to keep the ratings… like this was a comedy sketch…? Is this the legit video? Ive never seen anything this bizarre. Heard of father John years ago and when I saw a record of his at the store I decided to finally watch some videos… and he kills… and apparently needs a LAUGH TRACK???!!! Bro… if this is unedited Im dumbfounded by that.

@@thelizardkingdc The laugh track is part of the song and the performance, it's there because Misty wanted it there. It just completely throws off the audience. I think it's on par with the performance comedy of Kaufman, but it's also a beautiful and moving song. A high point in entertainment and artistry in my opinion.

The final third of the song with the laughter dub is mocking the kind of entertainment people crave to distract themselves from the reality of the world; making fun of the audience and the show.
@bretta70576 жыл бұрын
I agree with the entertainment as distraction part, but I don't think he's making fun of the audience, show, or listener (the canned laughter is on the album too), so much as showing how mundane and helpless ennui/depression is. It kind of reminds me too, of the live folksinger schtick, where they tell stories in their songs, some of them humorous, and the crowd kinda chuckles. Except in those cases, the stories are usually goofball tales, not describing the soulless, crushing existence that 21st century life can be as in this tune.
