The main thing I don't like about BBT is that it's generally not funny. Look how the show holds without its laugh track: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jKS3MGriZcs

It's not fair to just remove the laugh track, you need to re edit to change the pacing to avoid the silence.

If you watch actually funny shows that have a laugh track, such as Seinfeld, and removed them - they're still funny. Idk I just find BBT humor very bland, like the punch line to a joke may be just someone screaming out a nerd reference just for the sake of saying "Hey were nerds!"
