Current Events > Jerry Seinfeld says comedy is dead and then launches a terrible comedy.

(+) Yeah! (+)

That's a shame.

"Comedy is dead. Allow me to prove it."

and how is that?

Unfrosted, which he wrote, directed, and starred in, has a 41 on Metacritic looool

maybe you just suck dude

It's bizarre how much self awareness he lacks, but not surprising that he doesn't actually understand comedy.

He was big for like 5 minutes in the 90's, and his show was highly successful. He'll be rich for the rest of his life because of it.

But what he doesn't realize is that he was the least funny, least talented person on his show. All of his success comes from his supporting cast and Larry David who wrote the show. But if you see him on any talk show, he has this undeniable air of arrogance that he clearly feels he earned.

Guy was never funny imo.

I've only seen a few Seinfeld episodes and couldn't see what all the damn fuss was about. Guy was never funny imo.

Good lord I just looked and the cast is awful. Amy Schumer really?

? she's funny enough

it's not the actors fault if the directors and writers can't write funny jokes

Seinfeld seems like the most arrogant asshole, dude had one hit show he's still living off of decades later and acts like he's the king of comedy

Seinfeld was a big hit throughout the entire 90s - it's still often regarded as THE comedy of that era, it definitely wasn't a five-minute-wonder or anything.

However, I'm totally in agreement with your overall sentiment, because I think the popularity of the show (and the man) was undeserved. Again, I've only seen a few episodes, but among them are some of the show's most famous, including "Master of Your Domain," which is often considered one of the best episodes in TELEVISION HISTORY. And like... it never clicked for me. If 90s Simpsons was the NBA, Seinfeld was high school junior varsity.

Hell, Charles Barkley has said more funny things about San Antonio than Seinfeld has in his entire comedy career.

Is it a terrible movie or just people bashing it because of his comments the other day? The timing of the two makes it hard to tell.

I think he's alright outside of Seinfeld... Not his stand up, mind, but I really enjoyed his Comedians in Cars Getting Coffee. The other person is usually funnier, but Jerry riffs off them well.

But what he doesn't realize is that he was the least funny, least talented person on his show. All of his success comes from his supporting cast and Larry David who wrote the show. But if you see him on any talk show, he has this undeniable air of arrogance that he clearly feels he earned.

I'm so glad people think this, I've only caught the show a handful of times and his parts weren't nearly as memorable or quotable as his wacky ass friends, George, Elane and ole Cosmo were pure sociopaths at best and out right looney tunes at worse, meanwhile Jerry struck me as the kind of guy who thought he was above everybody and spent the bulk of his time annoyed or complaining about why everything else isn't up to his personal standards.
