@georgetakei curiously Larry David has no such problems. I guess Jerry's courageous jokes about Ovaltine are too advanced for today's pampered audiences.
@georgetakei Jerry Seinfeld is one of the most successful people of all time because of jokes, is he suddenly broke because his sitcom was pulled?
Comedy is thriving, people’s standards have changed and traditional business models have been decimated. I would argue that social media, media consolidation, and commercial real estate have more negatively impacted comedy than outrage culture has.
@georgetakei Why is it that people get offended and defensive when someone attacks the extremes of any ideology? Is there something endearing about the "far left" or the "far right"? He didn't say liberals were at fault. He's not my favorite comedian but attacking him for what he said is ridiculous.
@georgetakei He's a whiner, just like Bill Maher and John Cleese. There is plenty of amazing comedy being made. If he can't adjust his stuff based on the times, that's his failure. He should just go quietly into the night.
Seinfeld continues to be the funniest guy in politics; and the comments are hilarious.
America has no "extreme left." What passes for leftist in America - the most mild form of democratic socialism - would be considered center-right in any other country.
Jerry Seinfeld has drunk the Kool-Aid. He's reached the point where his most important statement of the day - apart from his brokerage account statement- is, "Get off my penthouse rooftop!"
@georgetakei if you are punching down, it's not comedy. If you are punching up, the "extreme left" will cheer it on. Or is he upset that people object to racist, homophobic or body-shaming jokes?
