Jerry Seinfeld is on the micro aggressive trail lately. Like when he lashed out at liberal, PC culture, or when he may the ludicrous claim that your race or gender isn't as important in comedy as whether you're funny or not. But his comments here about gay French kings have really crossed the line. They deserved a voice too. Even better is his jab at Late Night host, Seth Meyers.

Seinfeld even called out Seth Myers for saying he would never make fun of Caitlyn Jenner, which Meyers specified that he only meant on that day...
"As long as we're on the subject, which is very relevant and important. You said the other day that you aren't going to make any jokes about Caitlyn Jenner.
“But Caitlyn Jenner can’t go around doing whatever she wants the rest of her life thinking she’s not going to show up in a monologue.”
“Ok, good, I feel better now,”
It was actually an interesting discussion on political correct extremists, the media, and Twitter outrage as whole. I remember the "New York" cover in question, and the ridiculous accusation that "this could have been on the cover of a nazi magazine." Sadly, we've gotten more ridiculous since then. Well, not we. Them. 'Social Justice Warrior' liberals who've made taking offense into a full-time job.
Expect Seth Meyers' publicist(s) to begin writing apology tweets in 3, 2...
Nobody ever said Seinfeld was stupid!
I am glad to see he’s taking up the anti-PC stance
The media had a field day with jokes about a “toe tapper” with a “wide stance”.
Are homosexuals in washrooms soliciting sex fair game for late night comedians? Isn’t that stereotyping?
“Two queers were in a park restroom, and one says to the other...”
Agreed!
David Letterman told rape jokes about Sarah Palin’s daughter.
I don’t recall where Sandra Bernhard was when she joked about her “boys” raping Sarah Palin (something like “you should come to the neighborhood”).
Liberal claims of hate speech and political correctness are hollow. Identity politics only matter if you serve THE Party.
I’m pleasantly surprised by Seinfeld. his producer, Larry David is horribly liberal.
The liberal millennials on FaceBook sure hate him.
Maybe some of the Larry David liberalism is wearing off a little. Or maybe because PC finally affected him. Not that there is anything wrong with that.
I watch Seinfeld episodes almost every day. I think Seinfeld is one of those closet conservatives in the entertainment industry.
PC was engineered by Marxists to destroy culture and free speech. Making fun of PC is one of the only ways to destroy it. Satire and comedy expose the political correct memes to reality.
Free speech allows us to make fun of and criticize the INSANE crap that is being pushed on us through media. Without it, people start to get sucked in and brainwashed to believe in leftist causes. It is mental manipulation!
There is nothing liberal about leftists
They have gone full-retard. Anyone who does not support (105%) every (I mean all of them) stupid meme and idea they promote is a hater and needs shamed.
They are extreme in every way.
It means that if the left decides tomorrow that “blue-eyed privilege” is a thing, then you must immediately believe it too or you are not a good person.
seriously.
So PC SJW leftists don’t even know what they believe unless they are told, they have to watch the herd for signs and clues until the smoke signals rise.
Millenials (spit). Write them off as a bad investment.
I keep hearing the “double down” phrase. It isn’t that clever. I don’t exactly care. I just think it is interesting how something takes hold and then everyone copies it.
Making fun of a flaw someone can’t help is not funny. But the Jenner drama is full of potentially hilarious material.
The "new" thing is claiming chopped up men can now have "periods". Now THAT'S a joke!
Seinfeld is essentially getting the same trial in real life now as he got in the last episode of his series.
Except now it’s just about words and even more sureal.
Go read George Orwell's famous essay Politics and the English Language. Orwell couldn't agree with your assessment more.
Seinfeld is a big liberal too. FWIW.
Seinfeld was funny for among other reasons it depicted people as the un p.c. screwups they are in real life. Whether they’re liberals or conservatives, people laughed at the Seinfeld characters because they could see themselves doing many of the same things the characters did.
Where did you hear that? I'm astounded.
