“Maybe the world would be a cheerier place if we could add a laugh track to it. Without the intelligence and wisdom of Solomon, we are trying the same thing in our day. Perhaps we may find a savior in comedy. But the ubiquitous laugh track behind all our sitcoms provides a fitting commentary for our times — it is nothing but a great comedic cattle prod, which considerately tells the herd when it is supposed to overflow in jovial mooing. Time to laugh, says our invisible master” (Joy at the End of the Tether, p. 24).
