10.06.09 THIS LAUGH TRACK GOES TO 11

larry-david-hannah-montana

In what absolutely HAD to be a favor to his daughters, Larry David appeared on Disney’s “Hannah Montana” in 2007, prompting millions of preteen girls to say, “Who’s that weird old guy?” (Both David and his daughters appeared as themselves.)

Before you watch the video below, two things: (1) I’d forgotten how f-cking terrible laugh tracks are. It doesn’t even correlate to the jokes, it’s just a steady stream of canned laughter over the dialogue. (2) Despite the laugh track and the terrible premise and the lousy script and the whole thing just reeking with the glossy sheen of Disney, Larry David is still his genuine cantankerous self. He manages to walk the line between playing too cute in the Disney construct and flipping out and taking a flamethrower to the set. And although the flamethrower would have been more fun to watch, his performance is pretty impressive in its own right.

Dovetailing with your Alison Brie post yesterday, Brie was on Hannah Montana for one episode as someone named “Nina.” Everything is connected! (when hot girls are involved)

The girl with the pink hair from Lazytown is all grown up.

/if you don’t have kids you might have no idea what I’m talking about

If you really want to hear laugh tracks pushed to the brink, watch The Big Bang Theory.

The chick from Lazytown? Are you sure? Because the Lazytown chick usually gives me a boner. This girl gave me no boner. Maybe she’s too old.

Nope, I don’t even like Greg Kinnear.

It’s The Soup. It hasn’t been Talk Soup for like 10 years now. Joel McHale rules.

The first season of Sports Night may be the most misused laugh track in TV history.

I hope LAZYTOWN! comes to take over the comments section now.

I take it back. Total boner.

Seriously, there were times in that clip where the laugh track was playing before the joke was even told AND DURING THE JOKE!

Disney can eat a dick.

Just like Mack Mane says in that new Drake song – “in about three years, holla at me Miley Cyrus”

That laugh track was so ridiculous it was approaching parody. Every time i hear a laugh track I’m reminded of the line from Annie Hall, “Have you got booing on that?”
