Sean's is sincere in his belief and there's validity to it and Jerry seemed to realize that quickly and softened his schtick. It was lovely.

Jerry can handle people disagreeing with him and can handle a calm debate. I remember watching him on Colberts show after the Bill Cosby scandal and they had a good discussion about divorcing art from the artist even though they disagreed. For what it's worth I think Sean had a point. Most people who are capable of critical thought can realise that comedy routines are not a design for life but some people are so impressionable about someone who makes them laugh they actually take some things literally

I’m so Glad you said this because I really don’t agree with what Jerry said you know I think comedy and comedians can be enlightening n show you that other side I think they do have the power to change your money can be influential I love Hasan Minhaj I think he does that well. Idk I’m a little disappointed by this episode I was so excited hear Jerry his standup is so good, love his show but this was bland on here. I wish he would just like lean into it.

I fully agree. In recent years I've been turned off by Jerry's focus on his wealth and privilege. He doesn't realize that we need comedians to break down barriers and promote a more just society. Not that every comedian can do that successfully, but the ones who do are likely getting through to a crowd who may not respond to that education in any other way except through humor.

@@pmbbmp Wow, talk about being presumptuous. It's nice of you to defend the rich and famous, but I've chosen to spend the past two decades defending those who are most in need of our mercy: the trillions of animals who are jailed, tortured, and eaten by humans who presume that it's their right to take their lives. So when you wrote: "And that if you feel some change needs to be made [in] society that maybe YOU should be the one going out and trying to make that change..." well, that's exactly what I've done with my life. I've forgone paid work and instead volunteer my time at college campuses, city councils, humane societies, concerts venues, etc. sharing the message of kindness and nonviolence and feeding people tasty plant-based foods. I never said that my worldview is the solution to all society's ills, so no, I'm not "shocked" as you presumed. I will say though, that besides sparing animals a life of pain, if people would stop eating animals we could use the grain that animals eat to feed starving people, put a huge dent in stopping the environmental devastation that goes along with animal agriculture, and create a more just and compassionate world overall. ♥️

@@pmbbmp It seems as though you were defending him--taking time out of your life to write a diatribe with a lot of angry, accusational "YOU" language toward me when you don't know me at all and made a lot of assumptions about me. Would have been nice to get an apology instead of more accusations. (Maybe you just hate poor people?) I can't recall which episodes of Comedians in Cars, or stand up, or talk shows he's been on that had me arrive at that opinion of him a couple of years ago. I know he said something that caused me and others to believe he thinks he's superior/a chosen one because he's rich and if one is poor it is because they are not chosen. Hope that answers your question. Don't want to waste any more time on you or this discussion. Have a compassionate day. ♥️

Sean is right, in every activity, not only art, a mere conversation, we can allways reach to people and make them look at things in a different way that we might not see it otherwise, or showing sthg new and unknwon that can open our views and head and not just on trivial funny things a la "Seinfeld". Being music, literature, comedy, drama anything. But Jerry is a product of the 90's, that was my youth time and was pretty entertaining in many series etc, but also pretty shallow, cynism is funny, but it's not the end of it all and also not few times helps to establish pretty evil agendas. I also agree what jerry says that the absurd, the insanity that implies the absurd is funny shit as hell, but like Sean tried to say, it's not black and white.

@alexanderlyon 2 жыл бұрын

Great episode! I love the idea that comedians are the most judged performers/people. Every 11 seconds, the audience tells you if you're succeeding or not. I also agree that many comedians these days are like preachers of ideology/philosophy who want to persuade us of their point of view. That's especially true of the late-night show hosts. That stuff is not funny to me. Just give us funny stories and jokes. Again, great episode.

The comedian as a philosopher thing goes back to Lenny Bruce in the 50's, which is directly where George Carlin got it. It may be polarizing, but it's not a new thing by any stretch, it's been part of comedy for decades.

The look on someone's face when they ask you to donate to end child starvation or whatever and I say that, I get the funniest looks from people's faces. If it doesn't make them laugh they're usually at a loss for words and that's my chance to get the hell out of there.

The insanity ~ exactly ~ politics are exhausting & who really cares ~ you vote o.k But the stream of the insanity of situations ~ characters from everyday life ~ that's new fresh daily ~ that's the insanity ~ like Jerry's show ~ what the characters would do or would observe people doing or getting entangled with them ~ priceless ~ so Jerry is always in his show ~ jotting observations down somewhere if but only in his mind ~ What a welcome voice ~ Jerry ~ the outside the inside just disappear ~ Jerry's here ~ safe & at home Jerry's here ~ 🏡🛋️📺

Jerry is a legend but he’s pretty stuck in his opinions. He’s earned that position I guess but Sean was right. Jerry’s style of comedy is very safe. Nothing edgy that could upset the audience. Therefore he’s pretty safe to have a long career. Larry David deals with all topics in the world. Big n small and he’s a better writer/comedian for it. Oh and another thing. I noticed Jerry didn’t say, ‘I hope it’s funny’. He says, ‘it will be funny’. That’s self belief for you.

I think they messed up a little bit on this one and I don’t feel that way about anything they’ve done but Jason introducing Jerry in the way he did is something that Jerry has never been fond of he does not like to be referenced in any way that is negative even if it’s a joke and I think that kind of set the tone for him. But also Jerry was trying to understand what was being said by maybe Sean when Sean said you can’t say any of the things that you used to say anymore so that must be difficult when Jerry specifically focuses on comedy that is not only timeless but he never made jokes that were inappropriate that he couldn’t make now. Seinfeld is known to be a little pretentious and that’s OK But I do believe that that’s why the vibe kind of wasn’t there on this one but damn it sure is on every single other one
