Jerry Seinfeld Is Tired of Political Correctness - Late Night with Seth Meyers
Posted on 12/18/2018 7:33:20 AM PST by Kaslin
Modern “humor” — all late night TV, SNL, comedians, etc:
“Comic:” Orange man bad
Audience: *raucous laughter*
“Comic:” Orange man bad
Audience: *laughter*
“Comic:” Orange man bad
Audience: *chuckles*
“Comic:” Orange man REALLY bad
Audience: *raucous laughter*
“Comic:” Orange man REALLY bad
Audience: *laughter*
“Comic:” Orange man REALLY bad
Audience: *chuckles*
If Seinfeld is not received on college campuses they are way worse than I thought.
When I ran my Champions RPG campaign my NPCs were far more varied and interesting than their real life counterparts.
Salena does it again. She and the Mark Rush fellow are dead right.
Some people don’t laugh anymore and they tell the rest of us that we can’t laugh anymore.
I for one refuse to listen to them.
Me and a bunch of guys got together last week and watched Die Hard. We laughed hard at the funny parts. Ho.....Ho.....Ho.
It was just a great evening.
A few years ago, I saw Dana Carvey at a private function. The audience was from all over the nation. It was the night before trump was inaugurated. His set was very political but very funny, similar to Carson where Manhattan, NY and Manhattan, KS both got the joke.
He wasn’t crude or biting, he was just flat out funny.
We need more of that.
In the 1980’s I had an elderly friend who was an old vaudeville comic. He was cracking jokes on his deathbed.
We need more Maury Amsterdam’s.
These days, it’s hard to find a good joke that does not “offend” a snowflake somewhere. So it’s best to tell no jokes at all, and just stick to Trump-bashing.
Many years ago, I was looking through a bargain bin at a book store, and I came across a book of ethnic humor. Since I’m of Hungarian descent, I searched for jokes about Hungarians. There was only one.
Q. How do you make an Hungarian omelet?
A. First, steal two eggs.
The last movie I remember really laughing all the way through was “Silver Streak” with Gene Wilders and Richard Pryor. 1976
btw, using that a-hole’s photo for the article was a bad decision.

Not Pharrel Williams.
Nick Cannon.
Still...
Why?
Thanks alarmguy.
Nothing funny can come out of Hollywood because Hollywood is filled with thin-skinned liberal haters...
I had the pleasure of seeing Seinfeld at a venue - he was totally non-political and absolutely terrific.
I forgive him for his part in introducing the atmosphere of “not that there’s anything WRONG with that”...
Seinfeld got at the rise of political correctness in his Comedians in Cars, particularly in the Jay Leno, Chris Rock, Lewis Black, and Steve Harvey episodes. But the list of his guests is largely a list of leftist morons, including Obama (who isn't a comedian), Lorne Michaels, all of the current late night hosts, Patton Oswalt, Amy Schumer, Bill Maher, Judd Apatow, Jon Stewart, Alec Baldwin, and the wife of George Snuffleupagus (Ali Wentworth, she played the "Shmoopy" girl in the Seinfeld "Soup Nazi" episode). Interestingly, he had Kevin Hart, Sarah Silverman, and a couple of career murder/suicides -- Louie C.K. and Michael Richards -- as guests.
Young Frankenstein (”YES. YES. Say it. He vas my… BOYFRIEND!!!”)or Animal House.... The Big Lebowski might have been one of the last funny ones for me.
Johnny Carson was funny.
His humor wasn’t based on how many times he could drop the “f” bomb, or how offensive and insulting he could be to half the nation.
I probably still watch Eddie Murphy’s “Delirious” in its’ entirety once a month, and it still makes me laugh as much now as it did then.
And Eddie couldn’t get away with half of that material today.
I miss the movies by black directors that actually could poke fun at black people, movies like Robert Townshend’s “Hollywood Shuffle” or “I’m Gonna Git You Sucka”.
