How many times have you flipped on HBO's gritty drugs-n-race-n-crime drama The Wire and wished it had a laugh track? Wish no more.

Personally, I thought it was amateur-brilliant. Way funnier than SNL has been in over a decade. Someone else did the same thing on YouTube with old music videos and mix-matched songs. I remember Sheryl Crow's "A Change Woould Do You Good" went particularly well with the Archie's cartoon "Sugar Sugar" ....

I like Dennis Miller's idea of putting a laugh track under Cops...
