The canned laughter used throughout this series is especially irritating in this particular episode. It detracts from the enjoyment of the show because the laughter track intrudes so much into the dialogue.
In front of a live studio audience, actors will hold back on delivery of their next lines until the audience's laughter subsides so there can be no missing out on what the characters are saying. On shows of this kind, canned laughter is frequently regimented in its application so the lack of variance makes it even more noticeable and intrusive. And instead of listening out for the actors next lines, time is spent anticipating the fake laughter.
