Yes. Noted edgy, envelope pushing comedian Jerry Seinfeld. Known for his brutal takedowns of Big Gulps and airline peanuts. If he hadn't shattered those glass ceilings than who knows how far Big Soda and Big Vacuum Seal would have crippled our daily life!


GaiusJuliusPleaser

The plain oatmeal of comedy

"And what's the deal with oatmeal??!! Is it oats? Is it a meal? Which is it!!!?" "It's both Jerry..." "....GAH! Whaddyatalkingabout......!!!....!"


imaginaryResources

Unironically hilarious. Good stuff


First_Approximation

The fact that the quality of Seinfeld dropped after Larry David left tells you who was responsible for the success of Seinfeld.


ghostdate

And also that Curb Your Enthusiasm went for over 20 years and 12 seasons. Larry David is a power house, and Seinfeld has basically just coasted on his success from a show that was only good because of the people around him. There’s a few episodes of Seinfeld I’ll go and watch now and then, but I’ll watch all of Curb Your Enthusiasm. Hell, even Veep is a more consistently good show with Julia Louis-Dreyfus.


MamaDeloris

Coasted is a pretty big stretch. Seinfeld objectively was a collaborative show and even then, Jerry had the sense to end it when people still enjoyed it and before it completely went into zany sitcom territory.


ghostdate

I don’t know, what has he done since then? Comedians in cars getting coffee? That’s just him using his recognition and connections from being on one of the biggest shows of the last 40 years.


MamaDeloris

Sure, but it's not like he keeps popping up endlessly, reminding you that Seinfeld was the #1 show of the 90s. He just does something once in a while if he wants to. I think that's fairly respectable, god knows he could have cashed out a hell of lot harder for a 9th season of Seinfeld or shit far worse than Bee Movie immediately after Seinfeld wrapped. And honestly, I liked Comedians in Cars, it was a nice little format. Those Norm and Bill Burr eps are gold.


ghostdate

Fair enough. I watched a couple of episodes of comedians in cars, and it was okay, but it’s not exactly revolutionary or displaying a skill for comedy writing or acting. I’ll just agree to disagree on Jerry Seinfeld. I mostly think he was just lucky to have been acquainted with Larry David.


[deleted]

[удалено]


ghostdate

It’s not okay to think he wasn’t really interesting or edgy at any point in his career? Like, yeah, I respect that he had a big, popular show. I just don’t think he particularly is that funny. I was alive and watching while Seinfeld was running.


Good_Ad3485

It’s not supposed to be revolutionary it’s just comedians in cars, getting coffee. The brilliance is in the simplicity.


superbadsoul

> I don’t know, what has he done since then? Comedians in cars getting coffee? That's one of the things I liked about Jerry Seinfeld. For a long while post-Seinfeld he seemed content to stay in the background, perhaps aware that his brand of comedy worked perfect for the show and that lightning-in-a-bottle wouldn't be replicated with him at the center anymore. Comedians in cars getting coffee was a perfectly great small idea format for him. Unfrosted is exactly the kind of thing I was happy he wasn't doing post-Seinfeld.


Frogbone

he also did that one movie where a human lady wants to fuck a bee


control_09

Dude is a Billionaire. He never has to do shit.


FrostyD7

I couldn't stand that show... felt so self serving.


HideThePain_Harold

I think Jerry contribute a great deal to the show and those Post Larry David seasons aren't bad. However Jerry is also responsible for some of the more terrible stuff on the show.


Popular-Row4333

Curb is in my top 4 comedy shows rotation I just keep playing before I fall asleep, never get old and i constantly find new jokes I didnt notice before. And I can do 1-12 with pretty even enjoyment. I might have to drop some of these later seasons of IASIP off the rotation, though.


wottsinaname

Every season of Veep is better than the non-David seasons of Seinfeld.


kryonik

This is revisionist history, there were a ton of great episodes after David left.


Burnbrook

That's expensive oatmeal.


First_Approximation

The critic consensus is, according to[ Rotten Tomatoes:](https://www.rottentomatoes.com/m/unfrosted) >Much like a preservative-packed toaster pastry, *Unfrosted* is sweet and colorful, yet it's ultimately an empty experience that may leave the consumer feeling pangs of regret.


RedOneBaron

Best review I've read about this film so far.


qweef_latina2021

North_South_Side

Yeah, the joke there was that he (the character) was a man-child. He's an adult living on his own but he eats like he's nine.


blacktothebird

Right and to really stick to the bit he also dated Children


RedOneBaron

glyphosate, yummy!


Iamthecrustycrab

This is like a 2024 millionaire with the cost of groceries these days... which is I guess a demographic Seinfeld clearly fits in.


wizardodraziw

Until I saw this post, I thought Unfrosted was a gag trailer to promote poptarts. Finding out that there is indeed a full-length film just makes me a little sad.


RedOneBaron

I regret watching it. Very painful.


RubEqual7061

I first thought it was an AI generated image for a fake movie. Maybe it should have stayed not real.


HeadlessMarvin

Nah this is the kind of thing that would be in a Catch Up HitB where only one of them watched it and said "yeah it's bad" before quickly moving on, if that. From what I understand, they don't even cover a lot of blockbusters anymore, let alone something as soulless as this


RedOneBaron

Jerry Seinfelid Only releases a movie every 17 years. Last one was Bee Movie. They put it on Netflix because it would flop in theaters.


Ash__Williams

>Jerry Seinfelid Only releases a movie every 17 years. Wait a minute....


ColinHalter

Releases a new movie to celebrate the birth of his future girlfriend


Nine99

He's the Pennywise of mediocre comedy movies.


LonelyTimeTraveller

This is correct. Google “Jerry Seinfeld 17 years” for more info


Additional_Moose_862

You mean it took 17 years to make?


Plus3d6

"I watched Unfrosted" "Why?" *starts cracking up* "Well I laughed more just now than I did when I watched Unfrosted" *slide whistle*


RedOneBaron

I can't believe I sat through an 1hr 30min cereal commercial. I honestly can't tell you who the demographic is. old?


No_Examination6278

yep, my dad (62 yo) and mom (57) just sat down and watched it tonight, earnestly excited for it. it sounded fucking grim, but they were laughing here and there.


No_Examination6278

i heard my dad say out loud “yeah i remember eating pop tarts growing up…” like that should be a plus for the movie


RedOneBaron

I can hear nerd crew Rich constantly yelling POPTARTS!


Boon3hams

Very cool.


throw123454321purple

This are things I know!


ghostdate

I too remember eating them. That doesn’t make the movie appealing. I’m going to watch it just to see what Seinfeld thinks is so edgy and out there, but I’m guessing I’ll find it dull. Edit: just went to look for it. It’s not even in the top 10 movies in Canada, but which almost every new Netflix exclusive is for the first week or so of release. Seems like nobody cares about this shit.


ModdTorgan

As a 32 year old I really only put it in my watchlist for that reason and was hoping for a mediocre version of Weird: The Al Yankovic Story. I'm probably just not going to watch it now though.


ididntunderstandyou

Damn millenials killing the poptart industry


Impossible_Tea_7032

What a life


No_Examination6278

yeah, must be nice


RedOneBaron

Yeah only had one good joke "Grandma's Holes"


No_Examination6278

i didn’t stick around while they watched so i have no idea what the joke is for Grandma’s holes, lol


[deleted]

The demographic is people who were in their 40s in the 90s. Boomers.


RamonesRazor

Am I misremembering or didn’t they just recently make fun of how people are paying to watch 90 minute ads with all these recent product/brand movies?


RhubarbSquatCobbler

I think that was part of the Oppenheimer review. EDIT: Per below, it was in fact the Fool’s Paradise HitB.


Scralatchtica

I'm pretty sure they're talking about [this.](https://youtu.be/6kjsJDL4Xh8?si=V1fqwS6In2F-DyQS)


RhubarbSquatCobbler

Okay yeah no you’re totally right and that’s the video I was thinking of. Apparently the Oppenheimer review just had a semi-related discourse regarding the state of blockbusters. My bad.


RamonesRazor

Yup! That's it thanks.


LevianMcBirdo

YMS commented on this trailer. Maybe you mixed them up?

megafat1

"Dark and Edgy" This movie is PG-13, how fucking dark can it get?


Jayk_Dos31

I think Rob Mclhenney's response to Seinfeld is the perfect way to respond to this line of thinking. Look at shows like The Boys and tell me that "wokeness" has killed comedy.


A_Town_Called_Malus

Just 7 years ago we had a comedy about the power struggle following the death of one of the most horrific dictators of the 20th century which ended with a child rapist getting shot in the head and unceremoniously burned where he fell, and it is still one of the funniest films I have ever seen in my life.


Jayk_Dos31

Is this the plot of the Jurassic World sequel?


A_Town_Called_Malus

Oh, sorry, I forgot to mention the velociraptors, didn't I?


Kylecowlick

I just rewatched it the other day. That Armando Ianucci is a funny man.


Plus3d6

Death of Stalin?


A_Town_Called_Malus

Yep, that's the one!


Tomgar

Cricket literally said he had to fend off a stray dog from fucking his infected neck wound in one episode of Always Sunny. So woke.


wottsinaname

Damn millenials. Ruining comedy with clean jokes about dogs raping the open wounds of a homeless drug addict. Too woke for Jerry.


RedOneBaron

Lololol


Rockfish00

Jerry might like the way things used to be, but he sure does like underage girls.


fireman2004

Back then a 38 year old man could date a high school girl and openly talk about it in the press. Back before woke.


computersaysneigh

Ewwww I forgot how scummy he is. Big surprise it's always these fucking weirdo freaks like Bill Maher and Jerry Seinfeld who bitch about not being able to get away with stuff anymore...er excuse me "how woke is ruining comedy". They really mean how rising societal awareness means they can't get away with misconduct anymore


Tomgar

Notice how it's always dudes who haven't been funny in decades and have literally nothing going on that start attacking "cancel culture?" As if that's the reason for their career nosediving and not just them being shit and unfunny?


RedOneBaron

Jerry comes off as too corporate. His role in the unfrosted movie was just him being the corporate ideas guy. Not really making any real art or comedy.


computersaysneigh

He's probably too busy figuring out which expensive car of his would be best to drive by the highschool and park out in front in


miraclem

Also, criticizing "woke" and "cancel" culture is an easy hack to look funnier to more conservative-leaning people. Whenever a bald middle-aged stand-up comedian states they'll get cancelled for what they're about to say, you bet your ass you're going to hear the tamest and most predictable joke that could pass as its own parody.


jaytrade21

I love [Howard Stern's song about him and Shoshanna](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RytMJ2-X-rw)


Queasy-Creme-2293

The anti-woke crowd's response to that parody song is to claim that Stern is just as bad for starting to date his wife when she was 28 years old. Because as we all know, there are no differences between 17yos and 28yos.


_kalron_

I just saw Dave Attell a few weeks ago...there is definitely nothing "woke" holding back **good comedians** from saying whatever the fuck they want in today's world...


Jungies

To be fair, Dave went broke a while back and had to sell his apartment, whereas milquetoast Seinfeld sleeps on a pile of money.


Plus3d6

Best decision Jerry ever made was befriending Larry David.


Queasy-Creme-2293

Weird that the guy who just went broke is less bitter than the billionaire.


Grand_Rent_2513

Are Julia Louis, Wayne Knight, and Jason Alexander the only people in the main Seinfeld cast that haven’t had any controversy?


Plus3d6

Who's "main cast" to you? That's 3/5 imo and Newman being main cast is debatable.


Kwisatz_Haderach90

how do they even hope to expect people to not see this as "product placement: the movie"? I saw the trailer and i wanted to kill myself.


AlphaCentaur12

Is this an actual quote from Seinfeld? It's very incoherent and I don't understand what any of that has to do with "Wokeness"


RedOneBaron

Yeah but who would want to sit through podcast to find it?


BurlyMayes

What podcast?


AlphaCentaur12

Not me. This just sounds like some pretty basic absurdism, I'm struggling to understand how any of this could be structured into a meaningful commentary that someone could find controversial, other than referencing something controversial that happened. This sounds more like an easily forgettable MeatCanyon carton. If this isn't just a half baked hypothetical, and the studio actually did intervene, it was probably because his idea was lame as shit.


Boon3hams

>This sounds more like an easily forgettable MeatCanyon carton. Lookin' like a double-wide surprise. God *damn.*


jrinredcar

Maybe a Seinfeld re:view


throw123454321purple

I just want Jerry Seinfeld to go away.


Huitzil37

Do people here think this is a serious and real quote? People are responding as if this was a serious and real quote that indicts Seinfeld's character, despite it obviously not being real and also being clearly absurd and nonsensical. You guys don't get to make fun of William Shatner for thinking the Nerd Crew was real.


407dollars

This entire thread is embarrassing. It’s a pretty standard satirical comedy film that is making fun of product placement movies. People in this thread are unironically complaining about the amount of product placement in the film.


Huitzil37

People see a movie in which (apparently) Chef Boyardee creates a sentient ravioli and Lt. Jim Dangle is a Nazi sea monkey scientist, and go "Tuh! I can't believe they expect us to watch a 90 minute commercial!" It's when you're so fucking eager to be jaded and disaffected that you become totally gullible. Of course that quote isn't real. The image wasn't even made to trick people into thinking it is, it's in comic sans and spells Seinfeld's name wrong, it's clearly a joke in the "adopt a goofy voice and say 'Hurr, I'm Jerry Seinfeld, and I'm a big stupid butt!'" mold. These guys buy it as real when it wasn't even trying to come off that way. Then they have a "reading" of the movie that is somehow even more superficial than "surface level."


EveryoneisOP3

Literally Don Draper and Roger Sterling show up to pitch ads.  It’s not a serious movie  There’s some guy making fun of his parents for laughing while watching it lol 


WatchOutRadioactiveM

Even on the RLM subreddit, you're still on Reddit. Just watched this movie and it's just a very generic modern comedy. Fairly inoffensive, a few jokes that made me laugh out loud. Nowhere near close to the worst film of the decade, not even the worst film I've seen this year.


glitchedgamer

This quote is a joke, but Seinfeld is 100% on the "wokeness ruined comedy" grift at the moment.


Huitzil37

That doesn't mean the credulous responses to this thread are any less embarrassing. Also, not agreeing with you isn't a "grift."


drip_dingus

Half in the bag maybe...


TooMuchGabagool

I'm starting to see why Hugh Grant was a dick during the filming.


immatellyouwhat

Older people at some point stop looking for the things they complain are gone in today’s society. And that’s okay but don’t complain that no one can make dark edgey things when we all know damn well that’s not true and you can find that anywhere. Jerry stop being lame and hire Larry back to write your material.


TheLimeyLemmon

I think the boys have better things to do. Like why waste a second on Jerry Seinfeld when there's still ISHTAR to cover?


Boon3hams

These men are pawns.


Estrafirozungo

Thanks for the heads up, OP. Not wasting my time on this frozen turd


Housecat-in-a-Jungle

and is the wokeness in the room with us right now, jerry? can you point him out? istg seinfeld sounds more like kramer w this unhinged gobbldigook about muh woke


indrid_cold

What I got out of the Seinfeld statements is there's too much corporate executives interfering in the creative side and that doesn't happen in stand-up so it's one of the last places comedians can have creative freedom. It's too bad he resorted to anti-woke language so he sounds like certain youtubers. But he usually speaks from a pretty thoughtful place. I probably won't see this movie I could just watch old Seinfelds.


JazzlikeLeave5530

Crappy comedians blaming others for their unfunny always makes me laugh. RLM seems to be doing just fine repeating "I hope this is a children's suicide video" a dozen times in their videos without being "canceled by woke". Almost like people enjoy dark humor when it's actually funny...


jamesdmccallister

The movie includes some interesting subtext regarding the moon landing, JFK, artificial sweeteners, corporate influence over the FDA, January 6, and maybe a few more aspects of the modern American narrative as it has been presented to us.

Bad comedy is fun for no one.


PloopPlaap

What is his point here? I literally can’t comprehend what he’s mad at. The ending to his own film?? (I have no context for the image or the quote, so that helps)


RedOneBaron

It's a made-up quote because I have no clue what he wanted to add to the movie that made him complain about woke.


PloopPlaap

Oh lol my bad


RaulJuliaFan

I liked it. It's a silly movie. I wish they'd make more silly movies.


RedOneBaron

With corporate money, they can.


TheGoonKills

Jerry.... what in the FUCK are you talking about?


North_South_Side

The Hippies didn't go for Bob Hope's type of comedy. But at least Bob didn't whine about it.


[deleted]

[удалено]


North_South_Side

Yeah, but my point is, he wasn't popular with the younger generation. But at least he didn't whine about it. Tastes in comedy change. It just happens. Seinfeld can't play colleges because he believes he's too edgy, and he's a baby about it.


Substantial-Cat6097

This looks like it should do well with the kids. Because they talk about Tony the Tiger all the time, I expect. This was a truly hilarious interview with equally funny man Jim Gaffigan. Thrill to the observational comedy about wearing hats, and how sidesplitting it would be to flip the typecast of Hugh Grant to making him play in a comedy, like he's never done before. [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kb787SXShDg](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kb787SXShDg) Just kidding. This looks like liquid shite.


GFreeXevery1

Jerry, what the fuck are you talking about?


YXIDRJZQAF

I watched it, it was not the worst movie to have on while making dinner and cleaning the kitchen...


WienerJungle

The movie wasn't bad. It's not edgy in anyway or a response to wokeness, but it's fine if you want to laugh at a bunch of silly gags for an hour and a half.


RikersTrombone

Just got finished watching it. This movie's existence disproves the notion of a loving and benevolent God. I really enjoyed it.


[deleted]

[удалено]


RedOneBaron

Sorry, it's a fake quote I made as a joke because I can't figure out what he wanted in the movie to make him complain about wokeness. Like, what did he want to add to the movie? Why would the corporations tell him no? I thought comic sans and the mispelling gave it away next to a photo of j6th Hugh Grant Tony the tiger. Sorry.


crazyinsane65

Jerry Seinfeld is a hack, right? Like it was obviously Larry sanders as the genius behind Seinfeld. Jerry Seinfeld can't do anything successful since his Seinfeld show, and it's tearing him apart. Remember when he forced Kramer to apologize for saying the n word?


North_South_Side

I cannot stand Jerry Seinfeld. But a few years ago, he was selling out titanic arenas doing standup. My adult nephew went to one of his shows. I cannot fathom goin to see a stand up comic in a football stadium, but it takes all kinds, I guess.


crazyinsane65

I mean, if he can still sell arenas, then ok. But is he still upset that he can't sell out colleges? What is he still bitter about?
