    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 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.

    ITT: people commenting about the character of a man they don’t know, and his professional success, in retribution for his apology.

    … ironically by heckling a man who was likely heckled every day of that career.

    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.

    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.

      People are too sensitive these days though. The problem is that no one agrees what it’s important to be sensitive about while simultaneously looking for reasons to be offended on behalf of others.
