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.

    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.

      I absolutely refuse to watch something with a laugh track as well.
