Over time, a laugh track has a deadening effect on the intelligence of the real audience. [[Liberals]] rarely object to it, although it is not used in many sitcoms created by established liberals, including [[Tina Fey]] (''30 Rock''), Larry David (''Curb Your Enthusiasm''), [atheist]] Ricky Gervais (''The Office''), Mitchell Hurwitz (''Arrested Development''), and Dennis Leary (''The Job'').
