Yeah, I often think about which show is funnier, Seinfeld or Friends.

I always have to go with Friends because Seinfeld is too nihilistic. For me, at least.

If you search YouTube for "Friends without laugh track" it brings up several sequences, usually two to four minutes.

Without a laugh track, the sequences are just odd. If you were with someone and they said those things, you wouldn't laugh, you'd go, "are you stupid?"

The actors on these shows are functional props. The production crews are what makes the shows work. That includes the writers, but also the camera people, lighting people, and the post production people that did the edits to improve timing, threw out lame sequences, picked the best from several takes, etc.

It looks like when the plandemic started, they let all the production people go, and the production people are the actual talent.

I've covered sports for several years, and the ESPN camera people are artists. They're just brilliant at capturing game footage. The "talent," commentators and hosts, are interchangeable widgets. Many of them aren't that bright, and they can be replaced in an instant. Trying to replace a camera man that can track the ball from the quarterback's hand and follow the spiral on a tight shot all the way to the receiver? Lots of luck.

That's why the DNC sucked. The talent isn't talented. The production crews are the talent, and they replaced the production crews with bozos that don't know how to do anything except hit "record" on a zoom meeting.
