What proportion of the rising generation attends them? Mr Seinfeld is a comedian, does he expect his generalization to be taken seriously?

The Seinfeld finale was 1998.

As well as a ton of local stations. I think I hear people talk about it as much now as when it was on NBC.

It's not a big topic of conversation among their pop culture references, in my experience.

Seinfeld said his 14-yo doesn't know what that means, not college kids.

Next...his complaint about his daughter shows an example of his failing. It's his duty to provide for those distinctions. Not the fault of the daughter who doesn't know them.

The last thing is about he accusation of colleges being PC. That's a second hand accusation and is even further removed from any way of judging PC than even being in a college atmosphere.

I think it's more that college level people are a little better at seeing bullshit for what it is. That's an essential part of their curriculum.

But it has always been like that with college campuses and comedy. He's being a little too much of a "Captain Obvious" here....

So far removed from college kids.

He might as well be an investment banker at Wall Street

..never 'got' him as a comedian..His stand up is marginally better than his below-par tv show, but only just...

That's really a lot of money for telling jokes...I need to change careers.

Your post is very ageist.

Not taken seriously because he's 61? Wow, so 'past it', who knew?

He's the one that apparently doesn't understand sexism or racism. When his kids point out that he's being sexist, he just blows it off as 'PC'.

It was his wife who made the comment that got the "sexist" reply. I have to assume you didn't read the article, so I'm just here to help.

Sounds like a mom being a mom. Unless his daughter plans to grow up asexual.

Maybe she's interested in things other than the preconceived stereotypes her parents have of her. Maybe she thinks she doesn't have to 'have a man' in her life to be successful and happy.

But maybe when she grows up she'll want to hang out in the city to meet girls.

But do you want to put odds on that?

A guy walks into a bar.


GD response: Why not a woman (that's sexist), or a disabled (I mean differently-abled) person in a wheel chair. And why are they going into a bar? This didn't have a trigger warning for someone who might be the child or spouse of an alcohol addicted person...


Jerry's right, it's not worth the trouble.

In fact, many of us find 'differently-abled' to be rather cloying.

The word to be avoided at all cots is 'handicapped', or even worse, 'handi-capable'.

Can't blame Jerry, Chris Rock, Louis CK or anyone else who refuses to be censored.

I hope he issued a "trigger warning" before making those statements.

Especially compared to Louis CK and Chris Rock.

Dated a 17-yr-old school kid when he was in his ... late 30s?

When his new wife wrote a successful book about "sneaking vegetables into kids' foods," with many striking similarities (down to the recipes) to one written previously by a little-known author, he went on Letterman to make fun of the woman who wrote the first book for suing, chuckling about how she had "three names, like a serial killer" or some such.

I've seen him online as himself on a forum about Porsches (a great passion of his) and the first time anyone tries to be amusing, he's ready with "Please don't try to be funny."

Nasty guy, near as I can tell. Nice he got lucky with the chemistry on his television show and make krazillion bucks, but Jerry Seinfeld is probably not someone who needs to be giving anyone advice on what constitutes either humor or good taste.

3 weeks after she came back from her honeymoon with her husband. Yes, that's right. Three weeks after the wedding, and she's dating Seinfeld behind her brand new husband's back. They're both pretty skeezy.

It's just an ad hominem attack. Doesn't support or oppose what he said. Just shit slinging.

He is no authority on social mores whatsoever.

Every joke that fell out of his mouth was horribly sexist and seemed like something unearthed from a dead vaudevillian's tomb.

Seinfeld may need to face facts and recognize that he's simply not relevant or funny anymore.


And where the hell is the sequel to The Bee Movie?
