It's mostly old unfunny comedians, to boot. The problem isnt that the landscape of comedy changed overnight, the problem is that they're assuming it's still the same as 1992.

The pretentiousness of it is what gets me. Rogan is so obsessed with being anti-SJW that he'll work the rant into interviews with his quack doctors. Seinfeld was convinced his "gay French king" bit was not well received because of PC culture. The real problem was.. it was just a loving mediocre joke.

I was watching Ari Shaffir on Theo Von's podcast the other day. He went on a self important rant that "Doing comedy these days is DANGEROUS man!" and then sat with a smug look, feeling like a badass.

Making a racist joke in 2019? Alexa... Show me what a hero looks like.

Gonna be honest I never found JLD funny on Seinfeld and don’t really get the whole “Elaine is just mean” thing.

I dunno if they just had lovely writers or whatever but it just feels weird that one of Jerry’s exes just hangs out for 10 years making fun of them and just kind of being a jerk. Kramer tried to do favors for the gang all the time, George and Gerry have been best friends since childhood, and through repeated viewings of the entire series I just never understood what she brought to the show or why she was there.

But she’s apparently a comedy genius and everyone in Hollywood loves her so whatever.

I recently watched Veep and drat is JLD a treasure. She is absolutely hilarious but to be fair, the whole cast and writing staff are as well.

Like most celebrities, she's a rich kid and would've had a career regardless of talent. But JLD actually does have top-of-the-line comedic chops.

Things are still funny, but for large corporate showbiz comedy it is more beneficial to normalize comedy without any humor. (see: Dan Nainan)

If I had to guess, it's Gilbert Gottfried. They touch on it some in his documentary, but I think I heard rumors on Pete Holme's podcast. He did quite a few shows with Seinfeld before he got big. He'd come out before him and do some really obnoxious impressions, sometimes doing a whole set of Jerry's own material right before he went on.

But google tells me it's Bobcat Goldthwait.

“you know how when you break up you always say ‘Hey we can still be friends right?’ well what if that actually happened?? I mean it never happens but what if it did?? Would she just hang around arguing all the time??”

that was Elaine’s character. like most things on Seinfeld©️™️®️ it was very clever.

also the first season was half Jerry’s standup act, and the half with characters was supposed to be Jerry’s actual life inspiring his observational humor.

wait wasn’t it originally called “the Seinfeld Chronicles”

I remember reading a while back that Jerry was dating a beautiful woman but she had really masculine hands so he stopped seeing her. Don't know why someone would want to deprive themselves of a gorilla grip handjob, but to each their own.

also if you had a spectrum with MORE FUNNY, LESS TV LEVEL ATTRACTIVE on one end and LESS FUNNY, MORE TV LEVEL ATTRACTIVE on the other you’d get

Larry David : the cast of Seinfeld : F.R.I.E.N.D.S.

which are all basically the same show
