Millennials tend to like "ironic" comedy... they don't like classic comedy such as Abbot and Costello, or even something like Seinfeld. Those don't fit millennials' comedic taste

Seinfeld conversations are the only good thing to come out of that show. They're done better in other shows too IMO.

Seinfeld is pretty overrated.

I don't like Seinfeld but I've heard that's because every other show just ripped it off and did it better so it doesn't age well.

This is what I said in my first post. It absolutely should be credited and praised for paving the way but only fanboys are gonna say it holds up today compared to pretty much any of the popular comedy.

Great to watch for nostalgia though.

I'm a millennial and I know millennials almost exclusively, the only ones that don't like Seinfeld haven't seen it.

when it comes to things like laugh tracks, Arrested Development is my cutoff: if a show that started before Arrested Development has a laugh track, it's acceptable. since Arrested Development, it's not

I generally prefer what I call machine-gun comedy: a constant flow of punchlines right in a row. bam bam bam bam bam

self-awareness is a big thing too.

also, making fun of marginalized groups just makes the comedian seem extremely lazy and dated - like they're stuck in the 50s or something

this isn't true though. newer shows may have ripped it off but very few have done it better.


That's just a matter of subjectivity though.

Someone from their city and time is gonna relate and enjoy it more.

I can tell you for certain that Modern Family appeals and relates to far more people though.

Lost did it better even with its other shortcomings.

Hell I personally enjoyed HIMYM duck vs rabbit bit more than almost anything I saw on Seinfeld although I wouldn't put it above Seinfeld.

These two things are very related. Single-cam shows need to have better pacing with jokes because there isn't any audience response.

Which I happen to like better, so single-cam shows are great.

Absurdist comedy is the problem you have maybe 2 current comedians that are decent at it and everyone suddenly thinks shit like Tim and Eric is good...like Reggie Watts is more or less carrot head but with the added edge of being aware his jokes are bad.

Is that really a generational thing though? Absurdist comedy is as old as comedy.

It's the unnecessary level of sex in comedy movies. Standup has been consistently stupid since it started.

The comedy of the eighties was pretty explicit long before the birth (and death) of the teenage sex comedy. Take off those rose colored glasses.

Pretty sure southcoast is like 22 tops so he probably was too young when American Pie came out.

Forget anything before that like Porkeys lol, it's lost on him.

Comedy is in a great spot right now, arguably the best ever. You have Louie, Bill Burr, Doug Standhope, Jim Jeffries (not the show), Ari Shaffier, Patton Oswald, and quite a few others who are really clever and don't adhere to PC culture at all. On top of that you have shit tier comedians like Gabriele Iglasias, Jeff Foxworthy, and the stupid puppet guy being phased out.

Its sudden popularity seems to be...or maybe the popular people doing it just are that great.
