Jerry Seinfeld can, as we left leaning partygoers love to say, "get fucked and blow it out his ass".

"Look, I was just upset that day because my girlfriend's parents grounded her"
Jerry Seinfeld has never been politically relevant and hasn't suffered in the least because of his Seinfeld residuals.
Bill Hicks (RIP) has never been more relevant.
We miss you Bill.
The dark poet
The preacher
Hey, good for him. I believe firmly in reformation, or reflection and changing your views and it sounds to me like he thought about it and came around, so good.
He's a right-wing bigot. His stances have not changed. He's still a piece of shit, despite his "regrets".
this is the second time he's changed his mind on this particular issue. After a certain point I wonder why we're still listening to him
I think he was trying to get a buzz for his stand-up by going anti-woke. Then those people didn't show up for him because they are still laughing at Rob Schneider.
After Jerry realized his mistake, he figured he would say he grew and learned to help any damage control. I don't think people really care enough about him for this, but he is rich enough to have people tell him.
I refuse to believe anyone is laughing at Rob Schneider.

Wait, you wonder why we're still listening to Jerry Seinfeld about comedy?
Like, I don't agree with the guy and I don't think everything he does is funny, but... I mean, I'm a contrarian nerd on the Internet and even I would think about that one twice.
For what it's worth, you can change your mind on things as often as you want. Hell, I'll take older rich guys walking back their slow drift rightwards as many times as is necessary.
I personally loved his Getting Coffee series. Honestly, I just like watching him talk about his craft and talking w/ other comedians. I honestly think he could have kept that show going for as long as he felt up to the task and I would have watched.
I do think things like Twitter and being terminally online and trying to "get" people by recording them and starting a tempest in a teapot is very obnoxious. It's like next-level heckling and I guess I understand why some comedians are kind of done with that. The thing about comedy is that they've always talked about "finding the line" with a given audience. It's supposed to be a bit transgressive and so, yes, some will get offended, but now people seem to go out of their way to be offended by a set they didn't even attend...

What does Jerry Seinfeld know about being funny anyway? Wasn’t that Larry David’s job?
I've never understood why he's been placed on such a pedestal. Professionally, he wasn't even among the funniest of his contemporaries. Personally, he's also always been a piece of shit, and I'm not just talking about him being generally rude to others.
I mean Seinfeld was fucking huge. It's hard to overstate how big a hit it was in its time. And he was co-creator, the lead role, and obv his name is the name of the show. How could you not see people putting him up as one of the greats?
I'm not personally the biggest fan of his particular style of comedy, and you can certainly find issue with his personality and behavior over the years, but the man knows how joke structure works. He's an expert in his craft. And you may not think he's as good as some of his contemporaries, but there's no denying he's more of a household name than most if not all of them.
Seinfeld, the show, was remarkable and set a number of expectations that shows today must hit to be even partially successful. It was remarkable. So many modern tropes and memes are directly traced back to Seinfeld.
Jerry Seinfeld, the comedian, was not exceptional in the grand scheme. He is a decent comedian, but without the show, he wouldn't be referred to nearly as much as he is.
There's a difference between the two, and I think a lot of the disagreements are with people equating these two as if they're the same.

I never understood why he would say that to begin with. It's not like his brand of comedy was ever particularly edgy. Obviously the "people are too sensitive these days" thing is stupid, but it felt extra strange coming from him.
Maybe he got accosted by a Gen Z flight attendant about one of his biting air travel observations.

Jerry seinfeld is one of the least funniest people who ever called themselves a comic.
His show was a cultural phenomenon. You've never heard of the least funny comedian. Let's stop the weird Lemmy contrarianism. It makes us look more insanely out of touch than Jerry Seinfeld. (Which is so well known his name is in my auto-correct).
I don't think the contrarianism is Lemmy specific. Whenever someone becomes problematic for whatever, there'll always be people taking to twitter or whatever to say "well they were never really that good anyway". And it is almost always just a cope, except in the specific case of Rob Schneider.
He was never funny. Larry David, the guy who wrote the show, was the funny one.
I absolutely loved Seinfeld (the show) and recently saw his stand up in person and it was absolutely terrible, it was actually pretty shocking. He's just so incredibly unrelatable now.
Seinfeld turn to shit the moment Larry David left. Curb made it clear that he carried that show.
I wouldn't say that's contrarianism. I've heard criticism for Jerry Seinfeld's comedy since at least 2004, calling out observation comics as a whole was trending at the time of his show even. Larry David made that show great, and some of the cast played their roles really well, Jerry Seinfeld wasn't one of them for me and seemingly a lot of people.

all of that can be considered contrarianism too. It was easy to shit on observational humor because Seinfeld was the most popular comedy at the time.

the character Jerry was the straight man, so if you only watched the show Jerry (the actor/comedian) had an uphill battle to seem as funny as Kramer, George, Elaine, etc.
If you recall, Jerry was literally the least funny person on the entire show.
It was always weird to me that the supposed comedian was the one playing it straight in the show, unless that was a meta joke, I guess.
I like the idea of that being a meta joke, it certainly seems like everyone in Jerry's life is a wacky cartoon character and the "professional comedian" is the normal guy. There are some legitimately funny moments with Jerry over 9 seasons, but a lot of his dialogue is basically "did that just happen?!?" type reactions.

I think he had one or two good lines in the show. but the other three carried that shit like their lives depended on it.
Fuck Jerry Seinfeld.
No, thanks.
Your not a highschool girl, I think your fine.
I agree that comedy is an area that rarely ages well. If you look at the old post 9/11 HBO comedy spots on MAX they are atrociously racist against middle eastern people to the point where I don’t think they should be available or at least should be labeled history and not comedy.
Yeah but Jerry got mad that he wasn't allowed to tell racist, transphobic, and highly political jokes like a year ago. And he got drawn into the MAGA crowd like a tractor beam, being sponsored by out of touch old fogeys and anti-woke propagandists.
