Exactly. I enjoyed his stand-up comedy back in the 80s and 90s. I enjoyed his sitcom (although that was mostly down to Larry David), but the world has moved on. Comedy evolves. If you can't evolve with it, you end up being Don Rickles in the world of George Carlin.
It’s sort of laughable to have him give a commencement speech. Who the hell cares about this old dude.
I like how in his documentary he lays out all his yellow legal pads of material like I'm suppose to be impressed he wrote stuff down.
Wow, dude, you're so smart.
Notebooks full of material is literally something every standup comedian has (or at least had before the smartphone era). I still have a good dozen out of the dozens I used to have.
when are you going to say something funny then
When you go back in time to the 90s, I guess.
Didn't know he made one, but I don't expect I'll watch it.
Curb Your Enthusiasm is hilarious and modern while the most popular thing Seinfeld has put out since Seinfeld was the Bee Movie. I think that shows where the talent is. Even when Jerry was in Curb, he was awkward as he's not a great on-your-feet type comedian. All the other members of the Seinfeld cast fit in far better than him.
