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.
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.
Here’s the trick, if you are in a comedy club, its all jokes.
Not looking for approval from a zio

Extreme left. Who is this extreme left he’s talking about? People who don’t like being insulted?
What’s the deal with the smallest of marginalized groups? They weren’t important before, why do I have to care about them now? /s
Fuck Jerry Seinfeld.
No, thanks.
Your not a highschool girl, I think your fine.
I bet he does. That one didn’t go over so well.
“Look, I was just upset that day because my girlfriend’s parents grounded her”
Suck ass loser. Get fucked Seinfeld
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.
I don’t disagree with that
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.
I guess him fucking a high-schooler when he was 30 is something that we are probably taking out of context and shouldn’t judge his character over it.

Jerry Seinfeld is one of the most famous and filmed people of all time. There are countless interviews with him, as well as hundreds of hours of his standup/television shows/documentary series. He’s a billionaire, a Zionist, probable narcissist, and wildly out of touch with the average American. At this point, we have a decently good idea of the kind of guy he is. His apology only exists because of how out of touch he is. The left is killing comedy? I might look like I’m having a stroke my eyes are rolling so hard. Dude just didn’t want to get cancelled.
Probably had a few MAGA fans show up and said … Nope!
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
Good on him.
I guess he raised that if you can’t succeed without making racists jokes you’re not a good comedian
Jerry seinfeld is one of the least funniest people who ever called themselves a comic.
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.
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.
It wasn’t funny. I never watched the show. I’m not alone in that either.
He was never funny. Larry David, the guy who wrote the show, was the funny one.
FYI, it was written by both Larry David and Jerry Seinfeld
Yeah and apparently he needed Larry David to be funny cause Jerry Seinfeld is the same guy who wrote Bee Movie and Unfrosted with other Seinfeld writers and we know how that went.
I’ll say it. I like the bee movie.
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.
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.
Nah Jerry was never very funny. It turns out it was all Larry David
His show was a
culyural phenomenonfad. FtfyI 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.
