Jerry Seinfeld is “officially…retracting” his comments about “far-left” doom comedy.
Over the summer, Seinfeld, a free-spirited comedy with no sacred cows, disappeared as a result of “the far left and PC shitty people and people worrying too much about offending other people.” accurately pointed out.
“Before, at the end of the day, you would go home,” he complained, “and most people would say, ‘Oh, oh.’” cheers is on. oh, mash is on. oh, mary tyler moore It's on, with the whole family is on. you were just expecting [there will] Make something interesting to watch on TV tonight. ”
“Well, guess what? Where? Where?” he added. It's gone, gone by woke Nazis and PC Brownshirts.
Of course he was right. This is why so many comedies on TV now are about sex. Sex is one of the few things it's still acceptable to joke about. Great comedy, important comedy, provokes you, offends you, shocks you, and makes you a little uncomfortable. Above all, it speaks truths about the world, the human condition, culture, and society. That's Seinfeld himself. seinfeld As well as the sitcoms he mentioned, so did comedy legends like George Carlin, Dennis Miller, Richard Pryor, Lenny Bruce, Norm Macdonald, Eddie Murphy and Sam Kinison.
Well, as always happens when one of the cultural elite accidentally tells the truth, Seinfeld takes it all back…
Seinfeld, in a rather stupid explanation (appeasement makes you stupid), justifies fascism by comparing comedy to skiing.
If you're Lindsey Vonn, a champion skier, you can put a gate anywhere you want on the mountain and she'll make it for you. It's a comedy. Whatever the culture, we build gates. If you can't pass the gate, you're out of the game. The game is where the gate is and how to make a gate to get down the hill.
Does culture change, as I often say? [I can’t because] people are always moving [the gate]?Yes, but that is the biggest and easiest goal. Don't say certain words about the group, whatever it may be. so what? To be a comedian, you have to be 100 times more accurate in your observations… So, like I said, I don't think the “far left” is doing anything to inhibit the art of comedy. I think so. I am officially withdrawing this.
Sorry Jerry, but people aren't going to “move the gates.” Yes, the gate moves and always does. When tastes change, the gate moves. What is happening today has nothing to do with the movement of the gates. Rather, the gates are closed, locked, and dragged off the slope. lots of gates no longer allowed. you can't joke About this. you can't mock that. please don't let that happen problematic. Please stop punch down. That's sexist. That's racist. That's homophobic. That's transphobia. That's speciesist. It's ableism. What a great career you had there. It would be a shame if something happened.
The moving gate is nice. It's good that tastes change. some take my wife Are you kidding? Comedians are always on guard against changing tastes. no one made it illegal amos & andy. The public has moved on.
That's not what's happening today. What is happening now is cultural fascism and censorship. It's a heckler's veto, and it closes the gates one after another.
Worse, Seinfeld is defending an indefensible double standard. He stands up against bigotry where Christians and men (especially white men) are ridiculed, degraded, and insulted while others are kept off-limits and protected.
Listen, I'm 59 years old now, so I know what it feels like to have the culture leave you behind, and I'm okay with that. That's life. This is not the case. The only reason leftists bully comedy and comedians is to undermine the integrity of comedy and to intimidate comedians into not speaking certain inconvenient truths.
Seinfeld is a coward.
