For all the funny quips all the characters are saying, how come nobody on the show actually laughs?

ONLY for shows with live audiences. Arguably. Those are genuine reactions which better immerses you as a live viewer. However, there is a time and place for audience reactions. > but they also serve as a timing device for jokes, highlighting the punchlines and providing a sense of pacing. The audience knows when to laugh and when to expect the next joke, which is particularly important in building suspense and anticipation. If you need a laugh track to tell viewers when a joke was made, the joke probably wasn't that good. Also it is an insult to viewers because you don't believe they will know what a joke is, assuming it is a good joke to begin with.

Laugh tracks are to sitcoms like superpowers are to forever wars. If you are constantly doing it, you won't have a big one.

Studio audiences are okay, but kind of outdated. Laugh tracks are weird.
