You know the one where Jerry Seinfeld dated a 17 year old high schooler.

    How was this idiot ever popular? The show sucked, his “comedy” sucked, and he as a person sucks. His stand up was so bad that his style is now the stereotypical bad comic in tv and movie tropes.

      Seinfeld was legitimately the worst thing about Seinfeld.

      It was popular because it had Larry David writing, and Michael Richards, Julia Louis-Dreyfus and Jason Alexander were actually good comedic actors.

      It was an okay show at the time. Same with his comedy. Neither were the best, but both industries have come a long way in the last 30 years.

      Full agree that he sucks as a person, though.

        That always puzzled me. His whole character was of an ordinary guy, but he’s such a massive toolshed.

        He openly hates anyone who would be described as a fan, he has so much money and he’s just a massive douchenozzle. How much more do you have to have to be happy and or a little bit kind?

        Marty Short isn’t a prick, just remember that.

      I was so worried as a stupid kid that I was a pervert because I was attracted to girls my age. No, it just turns out I’m attracted to people my age.

        When I was younger, I once convinced a friend of mine that he, a sixteen year old, could be arrested for sex with a minor if he slept with one of his classmates and the cops found out. I still crack up over his bugged out eyes.

    Really disappointed but that jackass over the years, I shouldn’t have been surprised but loved that show in its contemporary years.

        Yes, that was the character - to be the straight shooter amongst weirdos and the less eccentric character. The show is hilarious and really well done. If you don’t like then just don’t watch. With that said, I find the real life wrong doings of Seinfeld and Richards are unforgivable.
