And isn't one of Senfield's closest friends that comedian Mario Joyner? Maybe in his (and Larry's) mind, his best friend was a black dude, then the network came through like :usure:

:yeshrug:

Doesn't matter either way, Chris Rock is that dude, but Jason Alexander added another dimension to the show that Chris wouldn't have been able to bring. It would have been a completely different show.

My nikka's Wiki has this nikka not even having an identity

Mario Joyner is an American stand-up comedian best known as the host of MTV's Half Hour Comedy Hour from 1988–1992. He is a longtime friend and collaborator of comedians Chris Rock and Jerry Seinfeld

:mjlol:

No fukkin chance this is true. I feel like Chris Rock would have already mentioned it if it actually happened. And why didn't he do any cameos in 11 seasons?

9..and who knows breh, lol maybe he didn't want to? During the first few seasons he was on snl then in living color then he spent most of his time doing standup to really become the dude he is now. Chris has always gone the road less traveled. Jerry tried to talk him into taking over for Letterman and he didn't want to do that either so :whoknows:

Any role on Seinfeld outside of jerry would have looked bad for a black guy. Everyone on the show was dysfunctional when you look at it.

In reality George was a scam artist who lived at home with his parents or with a woman he didn't really respect and half assed his job

:russ: they're all terrible people, with Jerry being possibly the least terrible but he's got his issues too. Fukk looking bad for a black guy, the roles would've looked bad for a human being period

Exactly. Jerry was the straight man and everyone else were the idiots.Why I never complaint about the lack of black people.

I couldn't imagine the outrage of Chris rock getting smarter by not having sex,sleeping under his desk at work,trying to cheat on his girl cause a movie star liked him,eating food in bed while having sex. It would have looked real bad

You mean the outrage by people who can't discern between a character and a stereotype? Or who act sensitive anytime one of us is portrayed at being anything other than a saint when around white people? Fukk em for real. Seinfeld is a show about petty people in a petty world lol and if someone couldn't understand that, then oh well

:ohhh:

Are we still subscribing to black humour vs white humour? My bad I didn't know.

I hate that shyt..hate it with a passion. It's almost as bad as saying someone talks white because they use big words or don't speak with slang every 2 words. The crabs in a barrel mentality kills us every damn time

Real talk, I honestly didn't know we were still doing that "cac humour" or talking white shyt.

I guess when nikkas stray from The Booth or TLR we get put back in check :francis:

Yeah apparently. How dare you as a black man like seinfeld. Don't you know that your comedic sensibilities are defined by your race because inside each person of reach race is a gene that determines what's funny to that race? You shouldn't be watching Seinfeld, you should be watching homeboys from outer space or the cookout...or who's your caddy!
