Wow you have a serious stick up your ass, grumpy old man Poopsey, if "LOL" really bothers you that much. It was funny because it's ironic how "far we've come" from the VHS release to today, as far as what horny guys can watch on their TVs. There, I answered the question, happy?
No, you're never happy, because you sound like a grumpy old man. Yes yes, I'll stay off your lawn, geezus!
“LOL” is the internet equivalent of a TV show’s receded laugh track. It’s a very weak device prompt the audience to laugh at something that’s not even remotely jocular.

Except that is not the reason for the laugh track at all/
The purpose of the laugh track was to make one feel that they are not the only one laughing at a joke. It stems back from when people would see plays and be with a live audience.
I use it as a way to let someone know I found something funny or that I was not being completely serious with a post. I'll probably keep using it until I find something better.
