Yet it’s not an exaggeration to say that I pretty much hate Seinfeld as a human being at this point, or at least strongly dislike, as hate is an awfully powerful word to apply to someone who mostly just gets on your fucking nerves. I deeply love the sitcom that will forever be his legacy.
I like a whole lot of what Seinfeld has done. Hell, I even liked Comedian even if the idea of making a documentary comparing and contrasting Seinfeld’s journey through comedy with that of Orny Adams, the worst, most insufferable and mercenary hack imaginable struck me as more than a little self-serving.Īs for Bee Movie, well, I appreciate that as a deathless meme and unintentional gift to anti-comedy even as I have completely forgotten everything about it with the exception of weird bee/human sexual tension.
Other comedians took notice and soon everyone was asking what the deal was, leading to the creation of what is today known as “observational comedy” Even as a young man, he was unafraid to ask “what the deal” was with various things, from airline food to answering machines.
Before Seinfeld, comedians were afraid to ask questions onstage for fear of offending people. During his prime as a stand-up comedian he was similarly one of the all-time bests and similarly influential. With Seinfeld, Jerry Seinfeld co-created and starred in one of the greatest, funniest, most influential and re-watchable programs in television history.
