What's the DEAL with observational humor?

the deal is that seinfeld got his start in the late 70's and his stuff was actually pretty groundbreaking at the time. it only looks super generic in retrospect because the next two decades of stand-up were influenced by him.

then he became rich and lost touch with reality, trying to make observations about everyday life doesn't work when your everyday life is so far removed from the audience's.

it really does need to be talked about at length, but declaring someone you don't like "canceled" gives people a fleeting sense of power, especially if they're part of a historically marginalized group. it's much easier to knock down than it is to build up

connected to that, i typed a lot of words about the state of comedy today but this guy said it better than i could. there are a couple of other tweets he made after that as well

even if his example is bad, this is something people do on the regular to advance themselves and you're an idiot for thinking it's not harmful behavior

The problem is that cancelling a problematic comedian is an individual solution when the solution needs to be systematic I.e. cancel SNL
