Supposedly when HBO began they strongly considered adding laugh tracks to movies, but eventually rejected the idea.

In 1968 Rowan and Martin, then riding high on TV with Laugh-In, made a theatrical short promoting Savings Bonds. This short, Rowan and Martin At The Movies, uses a laugh track -- the only theatrical film I know of to use one.

Watching it in the theatre must have been a curious experience.
