Seinfeld. It's just not funny.

Same with Friends, the laugh track is doing a lot of heavy lifting

There are some clips with the laugh track removed, and they really illustrate how not funny that show is. It's just a long slew of broken conversations with awkward pauses.

I have the same opinion of any show that relies on a laugh track - if you have to trick my brain into laughing because 'everyone else is doing it', then your shit isn't funny.

I actually chuckled at quite a few of those jokes

I agree that Seinfeld is terrible but all other main actors save the show.

Came here to say this. I love it's always sunny and people insisted it's similar but I just can't. I've tried so many times.
