If you like watching sitcoms，you must be familiar with the laughter in sitcoms. But do you know if it is real or fake(假的)? One kind of laughter is called canned laughter(罐头笑声）or fake laughter. A US sound engineer named Charley Douglass first invented（发明）canned laughter in the 1950s. He recorded(记录）different kinds of laughter，such as children's/childish laughter，giggles and laughing out loud. And this was the earliest form（形式）of canned laughter. Canned laughter helps people know when to laugh when they are watching TV shows. Many popular TV shows like Broke Girls used canned laughter. You can also hear canned laughter in some Chinese sitcoms，such as Home with Kids and iPartment(《爱情公寓》). After it appeared，canned laughter was used in many sitcoms. However，not everyone liked it. Some people minded it much，and in the 1960s，more and more people said that it sounded too silly. They thought real laughter is more believable. Many successful sitcoms，such as Friends and The Big Theory，two popular American sitcoms，sold tickets to people all round the world to ask them to join its live（现场的）recordings. So all the laughter you hear is from the real people. There are also professional（专业的）laughter. They are good at laughing loudly. They sit with others to get themselves to laugh at just the right time. The laughter can help foil（烘托）the atmosphere in the sitcoms.
