Jerry Seinfeld on Woke Left Killing Comedy: 'This is the Result of the Extreme Left and PC Crap'

[Harry B]

I also think that people give random tweeters too much weight. Like if it’s 0.1% of the people just being loud screaming cancel this and that. That’s still enough to get like 20k interactions but the other 99.9% don’t give a fukk.

But you’ll still have thousands screaming “omg the world is so PC” based on those 0.1%. Almost as if they want the world to be PC.

I want to see the whole clip but he's not lying. Comedians are apprehensive about doing their acts now and Hollywood is too scared to back comedies in major motion pictures. The whole genre is pretty much dead and it's no one to blame but the public and social media trying to out comedians not even from shyt they recently said but going back years to crucify them for some shyt they said years ago.

Not really true if you consider that Netflix blows dumb money on people like Burr and Chapelle that still don’t give a fukk. If they’re not scared to back them, why would they be scared of soft comedy movies.

Just like the music industry. Hollywood is really ruthless and do whatever they’ll make money from. Whether it’s selling gang culture, offending some people or whatever.

It was fans who had an outrage and Kevin fell back from hosting, not the network. And it doesn’t matter if it’s on social, that’s just one example, people pull old stand up, interviews, songs, etc.

And I have no clue what/how Jo koy did or what point you’re trying to make there…

Isn't Hart making the choice to fall back further proof that he wasn't canceled?

In that TV show Atlanta, they made a bunch of jokes about treh people. There was no backlash to it.

Jo Koy hosted the Golden Globes back in December. It didn't go well for him

Hollywood is too scared to back comedies in major motion pictures.

No Hard Feelings with Jennifer Lawrence came out last year.

Free Guy (2021), The Unbearable Weight Of Massive Talent (2022), Game Night (2018), Champions (2023), Renfield (2023), We Have A Ghost (2023),
The Family Plan (2023), American Fiction (2023).

What are you talking about?

And the minute they shyt on their own y’all label them c00ns, the way people are now trying to label Chris Rock’s comedy. Everyone is too fukking sensitive and looking to be offended

This is my issue. Everyone wants to be critical now but will still praise Aaron Mcgruder/The Boondocks. The whole essence of the show was a satire on Black American life but taking it to the extreme.

I find it a bit hypocritical if you put it in the realm of black comedy/art that you shouldnt do offensive jokes.

Not a Jerry seinfield fan, but we are clearly on the other side of Peak Comedy. Shows like In Living Color, or movies like Blazing Saddles can't just be made today, but probably can't even be aired today. There has always been people seeking out ways to be offended, we are finally in an era where those people are being validated. Most of the outrage and censoring isnt coming from the demographic being made fun of, its the virtue signalers outside of the demographic feigning outrage. I recently mentioned in a Youtube video chat that "Collard Greens are to African Americans what Kimchi is to South Koreans" and immediately one of the mods accused me of being racist. Dude simply exposed himself for not being neither Korean or African American. Other Blacks and Koreans in the chat thankfully cosigned my comment. So a standup comedian or comedy writer is less worried about the group he is ridiculing, but the outsiders trying to guard another group's feelings.

You don't have to watch this video, but its a Black girl walking in Japan in a Kimono. She did it in a previous video and people in the comments were quick to call it cultural appropriation. So she made a second video secretly recording actual Japanese people's reactions to her wearing and Kimono on the streer. The Japanese people overwhelmingly complimented her on it.

I think this is the primary reason for the current shackles on comedy today that didnt exist in the past. People minded their own business.

The bold is because those movies are not financially viable anymore, at least according to the major studios. The changing media landscape is responsible for that, not some pc gone mad woke culture. There's no double dipping on VHS/DVD/Blu-Ray anymore. Streaming made sure of that. It's why you see so many original comedies launching on that format. Look at No Hard Feelings, it was a R-rated raunchy comedy starring Jennifer Lawrence, and it failed to make back its budget.


Isn't this a matter of tastes? What's great to you?

that was a pretty good movie.

these studios refuse to accept that they are in fact competing with millions of content creators, gaming and other forms of entertainment people indulge in the 21st century. they better set their expectations even lower cause once long form AI video reaches the masses, it's gonna be hard to get hundreds of million dollar blockbusters again.

When nikkas get old and washed they blame it on the current culture instead of themselves

Off topic but honestly I feel cultural appropriation has been used in the wrong context ever since it went mainstream.

Its not about participation in a culture, but using aspects of a different culture and then claiming you that you “invented” it when you clearly didnt. Its about recognition but people can still partake in it. Whats funny is just like that video, its mostly american demographics who get angry about it. Most of the native populations dont care or find it positive.

Isn’t South Park still on And you tellin me that this goofy muthafukka can’t get off his dry ass jokes about spoiled milk because of wokism lmaoooooo fukk out here

I seriously never heard of any of those shyts . Are they supposed to be funny comedies and if so are any considered good?

 

[2 Up 2 Down]

The people that are upset don't realize they are saying what he said and also, in a way, proving the first half of his comment. He is saying funny people should be able to be funny regardless of the limitations and he is a stating that there is a group of people that overreact over the smallest thing usually out of context.

I'm far far left but I see people online that seem to look for anything to get upset over in the name of being woke, or whatever.

 

[Ohene]

Some of it was and never should have been socially acceptable

If you struggle to come up with jokes that don’t offend people, then maybe you weren’t that great of a comedian to begin with.

nah. jerry right

 

[nyknick]

Still haven't named a single comedian who has been cancelled, btw.

Only one I can remember getting canceled was Aziz Ansari for behaving like a JBO poster in the real world

But the cancelation was self-inflicted because his whole persona was being a 'good guy'. Master of None was the most overrated show of all time

 

[Trips]

This motherfukker is putting out a movie about "Pop-Tarts" and he says it's woke that is stifling him.

Maybe have good shyt and people won't care. It's not "woke", it's shyt jokes and bad projects that is causing these dudes to fall flat.

Rob Schneider did a "Right Wing" comedy show and his shyt was so bad even they got pissed at him. Wasn't cause he was too woke it was cause he fukkin sucked.

 

[THEREALBRAND]

“Woke” culture hasn’t gone far enough. Hopefully we get to a point in the near future where all profanity and crassness is no longer acceptable in entertainment. Sinbad never had to swear or rely on tawdry jokes to be funny.
