In the video, the artist tells us how much she weighs, that she is 37 and still lives with her mother, and that she earns $90 per month as a teacher at the Art Academy. Interspersed between these comments is a laugh track, common in Western sitcoms for decades by that point, but still a novelty in Eastern Europe. For most who grew up with laugh tracks on TV, the sound of canned laughter in the middle of a show usually goes unnoticed.
