Were false cheers added to Rosie O'Donnell's statements?

Question

Sometimes comics on Conan react like a joke goes flat even thought there is lots of laughter so I figured out they were faking the laughter and the guest on stage heard the actual reaction. During the recent Rosie argument it seemed like both couldn't hear the cheers Rosie was getting everytime she spoke. It occured to me that The View has been adding cheers to anything to Rosie said over the last few months to make it seem like the audience agreed with her. Does anyone out there have the tools to determine if The View added agreement cheers to Rosie's comments even if the actual audience didn't make them? (I'm guessing the cheers would be EXACTLY the same each time. Like the same laugh track used over and over again.) If so, then that means The View was lying to their viewers everytime Rosie would make a comment. So, does anyone out there know if the cheers were added or have a machine to measure if my theory is true? (Post the visual results on Yahoo Videos if you have proof.)

Answer 1

I like the intuitiveness and perception of your question...something not many of us might have noticed in many shows produced for the television audience (going back even to the earliest days of television).

Whether applied specifically to "The View" or not, it's a fact that for many years television producers have added to shows, especially sit-coms and game shows, what used to be known as "canned laughter". And, as the name implies, it was pre-recorded laugh tracks that could be edited into the
sound tracks of selected programs in order to "enhance" the audio value in an attempt to draw an audience to the particular show by "duping" the viewer into thinking the show was more popular (funny?) than it was in reality.

I myself became aware of this at a very young age when one day I recognized the particular sound of a particular laugh from someone in the audience that I had heard on a previous (same) show. The woman's laugh was so unique and so recognizable that the obvious conclusion was that her laugh (in that audience) had been recorded and then "added" to the later show that I was watching. I felt bewildered, befuddled....I FELT USED!
...but, it also opened up my eyes to just what the term "manipulation" really meant. From that day forward, I became a skeptic and I never trusted what I was listening to when it came to audience reaction to many shows.

In recent years I've noticed, in particular on the one you've already pointed out, the Conan O'Brien Show, the exact same phenomenon...as Conan told a joke and the belly laughs eminated from the audience...there it was...a laugh I had heard before...the same laugh, from the same (in this case) woman "planted" in the audience in order to ensure that there was laughter for Conan's jokes, whether they were truly funny or not.

While I might not agree that the fanatical, radical left-wing conspiracy theorist, venom spewing Bush-hating pinhead, Rosie O'Donnell, might have had applause and/or cheers added to the View's track (only because I believe the "live" audience was intentionally made up of mostly left-wingers who would cheer for Rosie even if she burped), I do agree that the many shows watched by the general television viewing audience are not "all they seem to be" and that many shows are augmented by the addition of "ghost laughs" and "ghost applause" to make us feel we are in league with a larger audience (that really isn't there).

(lol...I see that the pinhead Rosie "sheep" are giving me the thumbs down for telling it like it is about Ms. Obnoxious)

Answer 2

So she would be a fat, ignorant, racist moron on no longer one, yet 2 facets of the line. There additionally got here approximately to be a rapid-foodstuff eating place nonetheless interior the form technique in this ingredient of the line too, and notwithstanding if the eating place wasn't totally outfitted, Rosie wasn't taking any opportunities. Her stomaches jiggling around and jowels wobbling, she waddled over to the what-would-have-been-KFC and started to shovel cement down her throat, mistaking it for fowl paste. 2 chinese language shape workers stood nearby, shaking their heads and muttering obscenities in Mandarin. notwithstanding if those adult adult males spoke suited Mandarin, all Rosie looked as though it would hear became "Ching chong chong, ching chong, fowl, chong, ching chong chong..."

Answer 3

Yeah, it's all a conspiracy being masterminded by the liberal media. Oh Noes!

Seriously, Rosie O'Donnel received cheers because people in the audience agreed with her statements. Think what you will about her, but she made valid points in some of her arguments. Also notice that Elisabeth Hassel-who-ha-whatever (who also made a valid point here and there) also received cheers when she started shrieking. It goes both ways.

For the record, they're both embarrassments to their respective parties, but people are going to get caught up in childishness of it (see your own question for proof), and blindly support them rather than yank them both from the airwaves for being misinformed and shrill.

Answer 4

I might agree with you.... The first news reports said that the audience sat in an uncomfortable silence while all this went on.. so where did all the hoots and hollers come from?? Nice spot my friend.. good work!

Answer 5

Wow, what a ridiculous question. And they say that Rosie is the one with the wild and outlandish conspiracy theories.

Answer 6

Don't you have anything better to do then think up these theories? Who cares!! This subject is old news, its boring, so why don't you and others just move on with interesting questions.

Answer 7

i don't know. I wish i would seen that.

Answer 8

Oh, puhleeeze!

Answer 9

im glad that angry fat head is off tv. I am sick of hearing about her on the "news"
