Jerry Seinfeld: Unfunny?

[9dreizig]

Not sure if anyone listens to O and A on XM but they were just ripping Larry King on what an idiot he is. .Cudos to Jerry for calling him on it!!! The best thing I ever heard anyone say about the Seinfeld show is it's "an adult bedtime story" we keep watching them over and over sort of like "read it again daddy",, so true.

Seinfield? Two thumbs down.....Never made me laugh.......

Jerry WHO?

Something about the Seinfeld Show just never intrigued me, so I never watched. Bee Movie....I stopped watching cartoons ahh yesterday...those ole Warner Brothers were and are the hot ticket.

I grew up on Milton Berle, Sid Caesar and Red Skelton.

BTW: Seinfeld was on Charlie Rose, ten minutes into the interview I feel asleep and woke up just as Charlie was saying good night.

That had me in stitches. Ant/Larry King: "Will that cat ever get his cheeseburger?" I about wrecked the car I was laughing so hard.

Just to clarify, I was asking if LARRY was serious. That had to be one of the dumbest questions I have ever heard... maybe he and Jerry discussed it ahead of time as a set up. I really hope so, because otherwise I don't get why Larry King is on the air.

Happy feet should not even be mentioned in the same sentence as Cars both are at each end of the spectrum.

Bee's lands right between them, it was o.k. it was nto something I would go out of my way to see again (like cars) and it did not prompt me to try to stab myself in the chest with a concession stand straw. (like Happy feet)

I never thought to use the straw! Damn, you're on the ball!

Maybe Larry was asking a stupid question just to fill time, who knows?

Seinfeld coulda said, No larry I decided to go out on top, our last episode had 75 million viewers and was number one.

Instead Seinfeld took a little offense at the question.

Do you know who I am?!

Seriously now....... The more I see of Jerry in recent years, the less I like him. I would say he is 180 degrees from Leno, I've never seen Jay come off as conceited.

[Hetmann]

Same here, I loved the old show, but recently I just don't get Seinfeld's arrogance. Plus I've seen way too many Bee movie promos.

How does Dave let Alan Kalter get away with that stuff?

I think this, and the Larry King interview... its all Parody to Seinfeld.
He wasnt serious in the Larry King interview, but he did correct Larry for
being stupid, and then went a little overboard to make it a comedic moment.

People shouldnt take this stuff so literally...

PS: Seinfeld needs a new look...that black suit and skinny black tie went
out with the Blues Brothers...

I saw most of the Larry King interview. The whole thing seemed very awkward to me, and Jerry seemed like a pretty humorless, arrogant guy who didn't want to be there. Is that some subtle new schtick that is supposed to be funny? B/c it isn't much fun to watch. (And I'm a big Seinfeld fan, I think that was overall the funniest show ever made).

The thing about the show being canceled could not have been staged, unless Larry King is a total idiot. "Gee Larry, why don't you ask me if my show was canceled, so I can make you look stupid, that'd be great!"

I'm still not sure how any of this proves dd74 is Jerry Seinfeld.

That is the real question here. We all know he's funny...

The worst part of the Seinfeld show was the standup at the begining and end of the show. The show itself was genious. 4-5 things all going on at the same time yet somehow intertwined. Alot of people including my wife "dont get it", but I got it, and thought it was funny as hell. I got my Kramer poster (The one he had painted on the show.)

[Dottore]

Seinfeld's very good - but Larry David? Now that's genius.

Anyone know where to get the WWLDD? (What would Larry David Do?) bumper stickers that I keep seeing??
