No, it's the shitty jokes that ruin the laugh track.
Yep
Laugh tracks arent bad.
Seinfeld has it
Friends has it
That 70s show has it
Frasier has it
Cheers has it
Well... every single sitcom you loved in the 90s and quote until today had laugh tracks.
Laugh tracks are not to blame here. The thing is.... after the middle 00s comedy people decided that every comedy needs to be "rauchy"* and "edgy"
You see... seinfeld and friends didnt had to be "raunchy"* to be funny.
In fact they talked about sex in a way that was - i dont know - "classy" and really really funny
But every comedy today think it needs to me more explicit. And this dosent help when you cant be funny at all - in fact it makes it all more cringe worthy
All in all: "The Ranch" sucks. I let it rolling yesterday and got to episode 5 but the truth is that after the middle of episode 1 i wasnt paying any attention anymore. It was just noise
*its the first time i use the word "raunchy" in a post. I hope i got it right
