What has you experiencing the Baader-Meinhof phenomenon?
The Baader-Meinhof Phenomenon is when you never noticed something or saw something before, and then you see it everywhere.
For example say you see a chipmunk in an area you never noticed them before, and now you just see chipmunks everywhere.

Wilhelm scream. It's in everything. It's memorable in Star Wars and Indiana Jones, but it's in Soul Plane too.
I've watched far too many hours of sitcoms, because I'm recognizing a specific laugh that gets re-used over and over. It's by far the worst on How I Met Your Mother (where I first noticed it). They'll repeat the same laugh 2-3 times within the same episode. It's a specific high-pitched laugh that almost sounds like the person is inhaling while laughing rather than exhaling. HIMYM doesn't use a live audience so they re-use the same laughs for the entire run of the show.
I can't watch anything with a laugh track anymore. Growing up I knew it was there, but I never actually noticed it. Now it's so jarring and fake.
The ONLY show I can watch with a laugh track is "How I Met Your Mother," and I think it's because instead of using an actual track, they microphoned an audience who watched the show on a screen and recorded their real laughter.
That ‘70s Show too, it fits perfectly in that show for me. I hate it elsewhere, even if it’s a live studio audience… it ruins the pacing of a show for me.
I absolutely refuse to watch something with a laugh track as well.
"Those are dead people laughing"
Not even Father Ted?
Haven't seen it, sorry.
It's worth the laugh track 😁
