They are both ways to tell you how you should feel about what is happening onscreen instead of letting the movie/show itself do so

    Next you’re going to tell me how the actors faces look is supposed to tell me how to feel.

      But that’s the difference, the actor’s face is meant to tell you how their character feels. You’re free to be amused, inspired or upset by the fact they’re crying because they taken a banana cream pie to face. The laugh track or music (generally) is jot diagetic, it’s specifically there to colour your interpretation of actors and images.

      You just don’t get it do you??? The ONLY thing that can carry the movie is the script and exposition through dialogue!!! Everything else is a sin against the purity of the cinematic art form!!! /s
