An extremely annoying recording of people laughing that they play in sitcoms that try to be funny but are too supressed by the FCC to allow anything humorous. Usually played at the "funny" moments because most people that watch that crap don't know when to laugh anyway.

An illusion experienced by would-be comedians, consisting of a raucous laugh track playing in their minds every time they think they’ve said something funny.
He would pause after each funny-bomb he dropped, waiting for the phantom laugh track to die down so he could continue his random and pathetic attempts at humor.

The online/text equivalent of the tv sitcom laugh track. Used to show an intended joke, sarcasm, or that something is funny when talking via text only (i.e. online "chatting" or text messaging). Can be either in text form, as per "lol", "lmao", etc, or can be in symbol form, i.e. :P, :D,etc
