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).
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 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 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.
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.
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
culyural phenomenonfad. FtfyIt 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

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.

Seinfeld turn to shit the moment Larry David left. Curb made it clear that he carried that show.
