Go ahead Bleeb, knock his chair over!

Go ahead Bleeb, tell us what joke that’s the punch line to.

Another blind date who is going to pound on the girlfriend who set her up.

Smoooooth, Lyle. You lady-killer.

Time for her to cue her rescue ’phone call!

“Bound and Gagged” also has a bit about laugh track today.

He’s definitely on the wrong track, and there is no laughter coming from her.

It is much better to have your own set of Theme music. Just look how it worked out for that tall guy in the black cape and helmet on that movie series from the 70s

Toss in a couple of good one liners or catch phrases like, “Luke, I.. AM..Your Father!” and no one will forget you.

Reminds me of me at his age.

Hmmm Lyle’s date better laugh otherwise the green hair, chalky skin, and red lipstick with a permanent grin side of him will come out

So do most late night talk shows. That’s why they don’t show you the studio “audience” anymore.

To add effect to the punchline, Lyle put two french fries under his lip and made walrus tusks.

At least he ain’t talking out of his ….

Waiter – another glass of wine please. And leave the bottle!

His last date…

From what I hear from people using on line dating services, there is nothing funny about any dates they have.

Laugh tracks are annoying. I know when something is funny and don’t need the help, thank you.

She is not amused or impressed!

if he told jokes that make sense he wouldn’t need his own laugh track!
