How would you call jokes that only work due to laugh tracks (sitcoms)? Bandwagon humor?


I might bucket them in with the bulling humor, since that seems to be very bandwagon-y. I would definitely also say that I've arranged (what I believe to be) useful descriptions, but they're by no means hard scientific fact, nor the only types of humor possible. I actually forgot one of my favorite styles of humor: slapstick!
