i don't know if anyone worked as hard as Jerry Seinfeld to ruin his own reputation insistently for so long.
I mean, he's doing a great job of it, but there are a lot of other sensational examples
Musk, Russel Brand, Kanye, Gervais, Rogan, Rowling, Dilbert guy...
You could argue none of them were as big a self inflicted fall I guess, but they were all, at times, thought of in pretty high esteem by a lot of of people, and then, well, you know.
I'm familiar with the rest of them, what did Gervais do?
Been a while since I've heard about him tbf, but IIRC he jumped on the whole "can't do comedy anymore because they'll cancel you" shtick when getting criticised for transphobic jokes/remarks.
I guess his is less offensive and more lazy. Just started rambling like an old man about cancel culture and comedy dying and hisow comedians "speak secret truths" instead of realising that the material wasn't funny and was offensive and working on improving that.
He's definitely the weakest example from the list, I'd put him in the same vein as Chapelle actually.
He laughs at his own jokes.
I love that Seinfeld says this stuff because I've always felt he was unfunny, smug, obnoxious, and basically I've just always hated him for no reason. Now he just keeps supplying reasons, and finally I can say I hate this fucker without being judged too hard for it
A guy who dated a teenager he picked up at a park in his 30s has bad opinions and is a terrible person? Say it ain’t so!
That is NOT gold Jerry, NOT gold.
Gee, I didn't know not wanting genocide makes you a fucking genocidal hate filled kkk loser. Damn that sure is weird...
Ugh.
PDFs love Israel. How old is your GF Jerry?
Fuck that POS.
I like jews. Free palestine.
Nail on the head. It's not that nuanced, Jerry!
I’m Native American free Palestine, fuck Jerry.
So he really was Murphy all along.
Good grief, Jerry, you stupid donkey.
From the river to the sea, fuck Jerry and Palestine will be free.
Free Palestine and fuck Jerry Springer and his stupid bass line
What did the former mayor of Cincinnati have to do with this other 90s TV star
This reminds me of Norm McDonald's bit, "People say the worst thing about the whole Bill Cosby thing is the hypocrisy. I disagree, I thought it was the raping that was the worst" apologies for butchering it, but I think it's very relevant, considering it was on an episode of comedians in cars with Jerry
"Ya know, the more I read about that Hitler fella, the less I care for him."
Jerry once licked my taint. I'll never be able to figure out why. Pretty sure he just licks taint for a hobby or something.
He’s been overrated as a comedian his entire career, I feel zero sense of loss from continuing to ignore every syllable he produces.
What is the deal with comedians who think their opinion matters because they are billionaires?
*laughs in pre-recorded laugh track*
Oh Jerry, you geriatric, cradle robbing idiot.
Oh reminds me of a good video essay on recent Jerry from elephant graveyard.
Seinfeld should stick to comedy and keep his shitstain personal opinions to himself
He's not good at comedy either so maybe he should just fuck off entirely
The show wasn't great but the worst part was the random standup bits in between.
The bass lines were cool.
Real. I remember enjoying the show as a teen but my god was the standup bad.
Unpopular opinion but the guy's been out of "real life" for almost three decades now. His bubble is made up very heavily by the worldview of Jewish voices, specifically those from New York Money which is a thing, and it's not that surprising his take is what it is.
That said, yeah he probably shouldn't be talking publicly about it. Because that's ridiculous. For "regular" Jewish Americans, this time about this topic is incredibly distressing. Sort of like if your whole extended family, town, state, and media voted trump and think everything's difficult-but-good, when obviously it's beyond horrible.
“Just say you don’t like Jews.”
Yeah that makes total sense. Obviously, if I feel like a group of people deserve to not be genocided, that means I don't like Jews. So "liking Jews" = You must want to destroy another culture.
Jerry Seinfeld? The man who, at 39 years old, dated a 17 year old high school student?
