HOLLYWOOD – With his Netflix comedy film Unfrosted debuting to abysmal reviews, 70-year-old comedian Jerry Seinfeld blames the failure on “extreme left, and PC college campus audiences”, unlike in his heyday, when the teenage girls he dated were fans of his comedy.
I’ve been hearing about this guy on the radio and how he’s complaining about wokeism and the challenges of comedy that has to do it.
Nobody ever found you funny, Jerry. And if you think you were the star of the show named after you? There were more characters better than you on there.
The worst thing I can say about Jerry Seinfeld is that he appeals to the widest American audience.
Like the Big Bang Theory.
Wait, do Lemmites dislike TBBT, sometimes I forget this isn’t reddit. It feels more active every day for me it has surpassed reddit. Didn’t take long.
I’m technically not on lemmy but I will enthusiastically throw my vote behind the TBBT-is-shit cause
To be honest though it’s still just a shit TV show. There are plenty of those around. It’s not woth giving them much thought
I particularly don’t find TBBT to be worse than the average show of its kind.
Yeah, it’s a bit of a meme I just lean into.
Psst, I actually like it, but don’t let anyone know.
I’d be arrested and kicked off lemmy.
I’d have a lot less of an issue with TBBT if people I know didn’t expect me to like it because I’m “a nerd” (I wear glasses and know how to use a computer). Also its just not very good.
The show was funny because Larry David is a cantankerous curmudgeon who’s afflictions just happen to be a hilarious source of comedy material for him to write with. Also, the strength of Seinfeld’s costars let them carry the shows comedic acting and timing.
The show is funny in spite of Seinfeld, not because of him. The fact that he insisted on doing those god-awful stand-up bits on every episode is all the proof you’ll ever need about that.
