When someone tells a funny joke, your first initial reaction is to start laughing. In the “Importance of Being Earnest", I would hear a laughing soundtrack after a line, but all I can question is why are they laughing, like it's not even funny. In shows like Friends, Seinfeld, and many more, when they play a laughing soundtrack it would make sense, like if the joke was either relatable or just funny in general. My initial response would be to laugh, and not question why “people” are laughing at what just happened or what was just said. But it could also potentially be Old British Humor, that no one but British people would understand.
