I really don't know who these angry cancel culture mobs are anymore. Not long ago, it was "comedians can't say anything without getting cancelled!". Now it's "Well, comedians get a pass". The offended parties are so rare. I lived in LA for 10 years. My friends weren't offended by much. It's a minority crowd getting a lot of attention, I think mostly on Twitter but now I don't even know. I'm not saying it isn't real. I just think the internet is 5% people being offended and 95% people acting like they're under attacked by the easily offended. I think we're all doing fine and just like the feeling (or "excuse" when your movie sucks) of being a victim.

Seinfeld is so “edgy” he made a movie about Pop-Tarts.

Comedians really like to play victims.

A show about masterbation wouldn't fly to day ?

I was totally getting convinced that Jerry was right and then you guys talked me out of it, lol. I forgot he mentioned "the far left". It seems like the "comedy" that can't be done anymore, according to Jerry, is "Network Sitcoms" which is such a narrow part of the comedy world now.

Jerry thinks we go home reaching for the clicker lol

Was always sunny grandfathered in? Excuses. Funny sticks

Always Sunny in Philadelphia is way more wild than Seinfeld albeit it’s on FX. Also, always sunny was pitched & picked up like 21 years ago or something and got more and more wild as it went. I don’t think IASIP, how it was in its tenth season, would get greenlit if it was pitched to studios today without its proven track record.

Love you guys but it's like you're being willfully ignorant. We all love Jerry's old sitcom, but what did he do just now? He put out a new movie that is such soft saccharine trash that a five year old girl would think it wasn't edgy enough, while simultaneously financing some extreme right wing proud boys to go violently attack an anti war protest on a college campus! And then he's complaining about what the far left won't let you do, not because he's trying to push any boundaries in comedy, because clearly he's not, it's because he's pro war and literally putting up money for right wing extremists in this country to destroy kids having their own free speech! If this was the 60's he'd be complaining that these dirty hippies have no respect and how the war in Vietnam is a good thing.

What Jerry said only applies to network tv, not even cable, but he phrases it under the blanket of "comedy". It's a boomer take because only boomers care about network tv.

Sitcoms sell consumer trash and are unwatchable without a laugh track. Who gives a flying fk on a rolling donut about any of them? Seinfeld was not funny. It was formulaic nonsense. It's a widely known joke among the producers of that show that they could make anything work if it follows their formula to a laugh track. Sitcoms are the lowest of the low hanging fruit in the comedy world. Well, until this tsunami of dog water podcasts hit the scene...

"Jerry was edgy" then immediately lists stuff that Larry David unquestionably wrote without Jerry.

I don’t think they won’t do edgy sitcoms anymore because they’re edgy, I just think the culture is not interested in sitcoms anymore in general. So the last leg of them doing it are safe bets/4 quadrant. What they’re saying you can’t do anymore still exists: Louie, Mo, Insecure, Maron, Always Sunny, Broad City. They just don’t look like the traditional sitcom anymore. Audiences like long form narrative with substance instead of light punchlines with a formula they are used to

Everybody knows there’s two groups of people you can’t make fun of … and one of those Jerry is apart of lmao.

Was Tires grandfathered in?

Cancel culture is when there's too many channels

Comedians with no material left are the ones who act like victims. If you actually have something to say, you don't listen to critics.

Why tf doesnt a single comic ever present the side of the argument that clean comedy that fits exactly to the customers desire IS available.......its called "a corporate gig" and you pay handsomely for the nerfed result. But if you come down a rickety staircase to a dark basement, and dont bribe the comics, your opinion matters as much as the ticket price, which is fair

I think you're right about success putting a target on your back. Normies are always envious of the successful and eager to tear them down.

Sam is spot on about the nuance bit. People are so wound up in their bubbles of "THIS RIGHT THAT WRONG" that they are becoming increasingly disillusioned with and angry at the concept of....reality. People being multifaceted. The social media view of the world is that everyone is either a laudable hero or a despicable villain even though we all know that's not true about humans by a god damn mile.

Jerry doesn't care, he said something polarizing so people would talk about/watch his movie. It was a boomer take converted to clever marketing. Also, Unfrosted was horrible.

Have these guys seen the Rick and Morty pilot episode? Way more edgy than masturbation and the show was green lit and is a huge hit.

Its not going away

The networks are genius, in the asshole way, that they won't front you any money to develop 50 different actors' shows until they dipped their toe in the water first. Then spend the money After they already have confidence that it will be successful (somewhat) and purchase an almost finished product.... more profit.

Jerry Seinfeld was a grown man in his 30s dating a 17 year old. Does that not bother you guys in the slightest? There's no way I would have him on the show but that's just me

Todd Phillips was right

Edgy? Nah. The 'far left', pc culture etc, none of its gonna kill comedy, people are going to keep laughing, but go ahead and chat fellas.

Me stand h in the same room as Seinfeld losing his temper, and see how “vanilla” you still think he is. 15+ years ago there was a Seinfeld round table discussion with the Seinfeld, Larry David, Julia Louis-Dreyfus, Michael Richar/x and Jason Alexander. I don’t think the hatchet had been completely buried yet between Seinfeld and Larry David, and when Seinfeld addressed Larry David abandoning the show, you could catch a very small glimpse of what he would be like if he lost his cool, and he would bite your head off. It’s very subtle, but it’s there. also have a bad temper. Although, I’ve learned to control it, if you can spot it, you probably got it.

Hes old and becomeing more irrelevant. Like bert and tom

Will never watch this crap again. Let’s talk about ourselves for 12 mins, bloody boring hearing about sold out shows, how well they are doing, and how edgy we are. Also, it’s always sunny is killing it.

With Seinfeld specifically it does just seem like he's complaining about nobody under the age of 50 finding him funny

“Could Seinfeld possibly be saying that there are more constraints on subject matter and language in TV comedies today than in the 1970s and 1980s? There’s probably just a handful of half hour of comedies produced in the last 25 years that could have been aired uncut on a network in the ‘70s and ‘80s. The topics, the language, the sexual content of even the tamest new comedies would have made a 1975 network censor’s head explode.” - Ruben Bolling

Seinfeld has edgy DAD JOKES......he is the king of dad jokes........I love the guy....I LOVE the sitcom...but that man does dad jokes. Also his new netflix movie sucks.

Na sengield is peak annoying boomer. Jesselnik said it best, your goal is to make people laugh. If you do that then you get away with it, if not you’re just a troll. Seinfeld is also dated a literally high schooler yuck

The only people i noticed that are pushing back on Seinfeld’s PC remarks are the political podcasts like The Hill, Breaking Points, Jimmy Dore and Sam Seder. What do they all have in common? They are on the side that Israel is committing Genocide and Seinfeld took a position of defending Israel (because he’s obviously Jewish). Sam Seder even drudged up Jerry’s book from 1992 and parsing quotes that were clearly in a different context 30 years ago. They are all annoying political podcasts that preach to their specific choir and took Seinfeld’s remarks and totally missed his point.

"Can't make that today!" Is hilariously not true at all. These two clearly have never seen It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia, and it shows. Even when they mention Curb and specifically HBO.. come on, you can absolutely pitch and make those shows. Such a goofy take from fear mongering comics. Lol embarrassing
