Zach Galifianakis Was Right!
07.16.10Yesterday, I highlighted a GQ article in which Zach Galifianakis said that “if they put a laugh track on Intervention, it would be funny.” And then I stood atop a mountain with wi-fi and blogged, “INTERNET, MAKE IT SO!”
The gods of the Internet responded, selecting a portion of the “Intervention” episode about Corinne, a diabetic heroin addict who shoots up three to six times a day. The video’s creator, clippy2988, even added a slide whistle sound effect to Corinne snorting a line of smack. Delightful.
Things like this and the time I asked for M.I.A.’s “Paper Planes” with dogs barking and cats screeching always make me feel so powerful. Part of me wants to press my luck and see just how much the Internet can deliver. “Internet, kill the hobo who asked me for change yesterday!”

“How about removing the laugh track from a show like Seinfield and replace it with dramatic music. Has that been done?”
Yes

It has begun.
check out the lost hitler speech found on the account. legendary
This is not funny. My mother died from a laugh track.
I’d have incorporated some “wacky sax” with some fast motion drug taking.
Green Tea? Who is that, Mr. T’s Irish cousin. Earl Grey? I’d rather be with Linda Gray.
I killed that hobo last night with my mind because I knew you were going to make the request.
It could have used some canned “aww’s”, “ouu’s” and maybe a few woo’s (like when Zack and Kelly would kiss on SBTB). Perhaps even a Price Is Right, “you overbid” sound effect would have added some nice flavor, but this is a good start.
Some “sad trombone” mixed in would have been nice, but overall a very good effort.
