Abstract

<p>The commonalities and differences in the insertion points of the laugh track generated by the “immaturity gap” between US and Chinese sitcoms will be analyzed. Sitcoms in the U.S. and China that are assumed to be highly representative in terms of broadcast coverage, persistence and awards received will be selected for analysis. U.S. sitcoms had higher percentages of airworthiness, innocence and malicious anomalies, behavior at inappropriate times of day, making or admitting mistakes, and unchildlike behavior than China sitcoms. On the other hand, loud shouting, stingy behavior, and judgment and its misunderstanding accounted for a higher percentage in China sitcoms than in the United States. In addition, U.S. sitcoms tend to break the storyline, insert stories that are completely different from the topic at hand, and create fun in the exchange of speech. Chinese sitcoms were found to be more likely to involve movement and laughter in the setting.</p>
