Zoomer here. Was Jerry supposed to be a lousy comedian, or was this considered good stand-up in the 90s?
>>
He's certainly better than the "comedians" you guys gossip about here.
>>
>>223133825
It was clean safe stand-up that could have been showed on 90s television. You retarded zoomers don't understand they weren't even allowed to say the word masturbation.

It's Larry's underhanded commentary on the business, and Jerry was too dull to pick up on it.

>>223133825
It's one of those things that gets too much hate, but simultaneously isn't good enough to furiously defend. Plenty of funny bits, plenty of just Jerry yammering about bullshit

I don't know anyone who thought his standup was good, but I also don't know anyone who thought it was particularly bad. It was consistently 6/10.

>>223133825
in 1990 when it began? yes, Jerry Seinfeld was extremely funny compared to anything on television. it's impossible to explain if you weren't around. The first season of the Simpsons was news for months because they showed Barts butt and he said down with homework. Like, actual senators and shit giving opinions. TV was so, so uncontroversial and down the middle that Jerry was unhinged and innovative at that time
>>

so what do you think
>>
>>223135008
>autistic retard missed the point
>>
>>223133825
No, he only got famous because he's one of the chosen and ((they)) proceeded to fund him and plaster him everywhere as a result.
>>
>>223135020
on early 90s morning zoo it was not uncommon to just hear them play 10 minutes of Seinfeld routines unbroken
>>
>>223133825
He wasn't very funny, but the show had great writers and a top tier supporting cast carrying it. His standup was often mocked with the "what's the deal with airline food?" meme
>>
>>223135261
I think it was the fact that he was both a popular comedian and one with a clean act.

A very rare combination, even back in the 90s.
Steve Martin and Bill Cosby are the only other clean comedians i can think of

They're less likely to be a faiing comedian.

He's le pro israel and dated a 17 year old toddler, how can you think he was funny, like I cant even

Exactly. And sometimes that’s fine, not everything has to be gaping and raping.
>>
>>223135549
>He's le pro israel
This hasn’t been an insult for about 2 months now. We’re back to not caring.

It is a show about the life and times of its characters. I suppose Jerry, in the show, was supposed to be a struggling, yet possibly up-and-coming comedian. So no, you're not supposed to belly laugh at the jokes in his standup opening monologues, if that's what you're asking.

Where’s the “she was only 17.999999 you son of a bitch” meme guy?

I always saw the standup segments as little more than thematic riffs. Usually (though not always) they speak to the narrative in some way.

>Jerry makes an observation about dating in the standup
>something kinda like that happens in the sitcom

It works in its way. Those parts never made me laugh, though. Some are saying that's due to the constraints on 90s television, but Seinfeld's stage shows feature much the same kind of material despite the creative freedom he has there.
>>
>>223135702
Who?
>>
>>223135694
I suppose that makes sense, since most stand up comedians draw direct inspiration from their daily lives for their material.

Do you have Alzheimer's? The conversation was about Seinfeld, a zionist jew. No one said anything about Palestine.

I saw him live during a post-Seinfeld standup tour and remember enjoying it. Not everything has to be edgy and profane. If anything, it's more respectable to be funny without resorting to that sort of low hanging fruit.

It's not really an artform, it's quite similar to magic shows in that it's a parlour trick, all you do is convince an audience you're naturally funny by pretending to come up with jokes on the spot when in fact you wrote them a year ago and are naturally an unlikeable dickhead

Congrats on following a racist commie, you ignorant faggot. He openly hates white people as well as Jews, at the same time refusing to acknowledge that he's a brown Muslim.

It was okay, bar for standup was always low and still is. I mean people still glaze carlin to this day, and his routines were just very typical reddit nihilism. Its just people weren't exposed to reddit nihilism and jewish complaints about airplane food unless they lived in new york or boston; so it was novel material for most of the population.

yeah buddy you and every other old guy on the internet
you sound pretty insecure ngl
but let's pretend you're telling the truth
does having a 19 year old prostitute help distract you from the fact that you never married or had kids?
sounds like a sad way to die, no one with you but a woman young enough to be your granddaughter who's only there so she can get a paycheck once you die
