Comedians doing standup are including laughter based on their audience enjoying their comedy. Even shows that were filmed in front of a studio audience with prompts to laugh are likely to get some genuine laughs.

Sitcoms that use canned laughter are trying to force the audience to think they are funny, even when they aren't.
