I’m not sure Jerry Seinfeld has ever been funny. He’s more of a straight man for people with actual chops like Michael Richards.
He reminds me of those 1950s post vaudeville supper club comedians whose sets were all the same.
The show was good because of Larry David and the rest of the writers. People just assumed Jerry was funny by association.
He should really just retire and get back to dating 17 year old high schoolers like he did when he was 38
hahahahaha I love it when the internet shame police come out “oooh look at that perfectly legal thing happening, you should still feel bad about it, and we’re here to make sure you do” lol
I agree that his style is dated nowadays. Fair comment. But in the 90s his humour chops centred around absurdity and it was fresh. You needed to have seen him with 90’s eyes to see how well he fitted the times. I watch reruns of him now and he often seems flat. His observational style has moved on and the times don’t suit him anymore. But please don’t make the mistake that back in the day he wasn’t a comedy superstar. Of course, Larry David in his corner didn’t hurt.
Change '90s to the '80s and you might have a point. Seinfeld debuted in 1989. His stand up career peaked in the mid '80s. Which makes me think you don’t actually know what you’re talking about and are just repeating something you heard from someone else.
