Hi there, do you know if there is a way to disable laugh tracks from sitcoms? I really would like to rewatch some shows like King of Queens but I can't bear the constant laughing in the background. Cheers

Yeah I get what you mean, I just watched the link from the comment below and it feels really weird to watch it like this.

Now you must go further down the rabbit hole and watch musicless music videos on youtube.

What the hell is that instance name xD

[–] DetachablePianist@lemmy.ml 2 points 1 year ago

Just the Invidious instance I found on the official list a long time ago. I like them because they're relatively local, super reliable, and unlike a lot of other instances they actually have the download feature enabled. But yeah, their domain name is a bit awkward, lol.

I used to work in a nightclub. We had a TV show book the club during the day to shoot some scenes, so the cast were acting out drinking and dancing, but without any music. It's probably the most surreal thing I've seen in my life.

Do you mean muted music videos or is there something else entirely ?

[–] CmdrShepard@lemmy.one 3 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago) (1 children)

They're music videos where the music and singing is cut and 'ambient' noise like squeaky shoes, breathing, grunting while doing dance moves, etc is dubbed back in. You'll see what I mean if you watch one. It may be the same thing but I've just always heard of them referred to as "musicless music videos"

I did. It was quite funny listening to just the lyrics. Would have been nice if they managed to keep the original vocals but that whispering voice made it funnier.

I don't see anything preventing someone from not just cutting the audio out, but the video, too. Then there shouldn't be any awkward pauses.

It might make for some very choppy transitions in certain areas, you'd need a way to smooth it out to make it less abrupt while still cutting out the majority of it in the parts where hard cutting wouldn't work well.
