Jerry Seinfeld Is Becoming 'Modern' Seinfeld

[@njharper1983]

I'm disgusted by the fact that he had to be convinced about Bill Cosby, and that it took this long. Clearly Stephen or one of Jerry's people told him during the commercial to walk back his defence in part 1. And he still tried to half defend it. There's no way he hasn't thought about it over the last couple of years. The out of nowhere Bill Clinton comparison bothered me too, it's a trope that shows he's been eating up right wing media.

[@njharper1983]

He also hates college campuses because "they are too PC" to laugh at his anti-gay jokes. Plus he's a total thief, Comedians in Cars is ripped-off from robert llewellyn's web show "carpool" and even that last bit of the interview sounds alot like George Carlin.

This interview was A+. More long-form interviews like this one, please!

[@orangeziggy599]

Cosby's jokes rested on the audience's favorable view of him as a personable figure; in all his jokes he presented himself as the protagonist and as a respectable person; his jokes rested on his ability to get his audience to identify with him as 'the common man', and a family man. All of the humor of his jokes rested on the supposition that he was obviously an honorable man to society- but here, all these strange things were happening to him- and thus, humor resulted not from his jokes, per say, but from the audience's assumption of his respectable personality.

[@MrNodebate]

In all fairness: I think *Seinfeld more than deserves his self-compliment!* Because he's absolutely right: you rarely see someone change his/her opinion (not only on TV!) The reason is that it's very hard to change your opinion: from a psychological standpoint, it's actually *one of the hardest things to do!* So kudos Jerry, and cheers :) PS: And I don't even like Seinfeld (as a comedian as well as personally)... maybe I'll have to change my opinion too... ;)

[@arx754]

MrNodebate; Al he did was say, on national tv, that he had changed his mind. AND pointed out that few people do what he'd just done. Seriously? Don't get me wrong. LOVED the Seinfeld program, but geez, Seinfeld is really playing us for fools if he thinks we really think he changed his mind. And, btw, I think it depends on the person---and the person who allegedly committed a crime, etc.---re how we then think about that person. Would be nice if there were actually 'rules", but there are not.

[@c.a.g.3130]

Yea. Shows the influence of poisonous PC/liberalism. He changed it from a reasonable perspective to a crowd-pleasing, braindead perspective.

[@casmo87]

@@c.a.g.3130 I disagree. Seinfeld has long said Cosby was one of his all time favourite comedians. If he goes back and listens to his old records, what Cosby did is either not going to effect his perception of Cosbys humour, or it's going to make him just feel downright awkward because he can never look at the man in the same light, with the same respect he once held knowing what he now knows. I grew up loving Bill Cosby. All his shows like The Cosby Show, Cosby Mysteries and Cosby were all on in our house. I don't know how I'd feel watching those again though. Who knows?

[@c.a.g.3130]

@@casmo87 Well, you'll find out when you go watch him again. Personally, I was never a Cosby fan (thought he was OK) but my friends loved him. I was more along the lines of Abbott & Costello. Cosby was more observational of human foibles than language incongruities. I preferred attention on the latter. But I still recognize his genius and that doesn't change because of his personal shortcomings. Half the great films of the last 25 years were produced by Harvey Weinstein; do you not watch them because he was a creep? Also, note that Jerry does not do colleges any more. He simply does not want to deal with their PC BS. He could just face them down but he's not that kind of guy. As a Long Islander, it seems the same way here; he doesn't want to fight with a knucklehead like Colbert (who is not even in his league).

[@AceFondu]

I'm with them that you can't separate Cosby from his material anymore, but Jerry had an interesting question of "should we." That's a good question to ask, and I would say yes we should, even though we can't unfortunately. I say this because in any other field we would. Like, say someone develops a cure for cancer, then turns out to be a cannibal. Would we suddenly stop using his cure, or recognizing him as the guy that cured it? I don't think so. We would also remember he ate people though lol.

[@bohemianfeminist3800]

And he was swayed in this case only by the specifics of Cosby's art interacting with his personality in a unique way: in his particular case, the humour is grounded in his hypocritical 'father-figure' moralizing. I'd still find a lot of his material funny, but in most cases the joke is ruined.

[@chipcasino6176]

I thought Stephens answer was spot on. It's a pointless question. You can't talk somebody into laughing. You either laugh, or you don't. If you can't separate it, you can't. There is no discussing the laugh back into place.

[@caltron5000]

[@cristiandelvillar3121]

That pre-board joke is a Carlin joke

[@drcubix]

sadly yes..but I dont think he did it intentionally... the last time he mustve heard it mustve been back in the 80's and it's normal for our brains to resurface distant memories as new thoughts..

[@jimmyjoeandjacks]

Cristian delVillar you get in the plane not on the plane. Carlin not preboarding I could be wrong but I remember reading it in brain droppings Carlin’s book

[@drcubix]

@@jimmyjoeandjacks Carlin had scores of jokes on those topics in multiple years..he had too many specials every two years compared to other artists

[@drcubix]

@@Fakecourt Yes he did have new material always..but the topics would sometimes overlap, that's what I meant..(never the jokes..jokes were always new)

Watching these two great comedic minds “sparring” is entertainment at its best! Love Colbert & Seinfeld so much! I can go to sleep now in perfect peace.

[@ernstgross5852]

❤ his grandiosity is not Stopping him from thinking. 😂 überheblich as fuck ! I love him!

[@amirwarsanah9191]

Colbert being the more educated one knew exactly why the term 'prehistoric' is used ie 'historic' period is the span of time where events were written down, 'prehistoric' being the time span beforehand; I guess he read 'How to Win Friends and Influence People'.

[@Deopunk]

I really respect that Jerry Seinfeld brought back up the conversation about Bill Cosby after the commercial break even though they had moved on in the interview so that the issue could be properly addressed. It would have been easier for him to dodge the subject and I think it shows a lot of character.

[@Merthalophor]

1:26 right there Seinfeld thought of something that could be revealed about him lmao

[@gnarlin4964]

Pre-boarding a plane!? That's a George Carlin joke! So is getting on a plane or getting IN a plane!

[@tonyross8054]

I agree with Seinfeld about telephone courtesies. When I get a call, I answer "Yes". if they ask me "Is this Mr. So-and So?" I immediately command them to identify themselves. If they fail to do, I hang up and use the "Root Call Blocker Pro" Android app to never hear from that number again ... they had their one chance that I allow.

"We're pre-taping this show." "Whoa !!" :D

[@KeshaGeorge]

This has got to be the FUNNIEST interaction with a guest I have observed. Delightful!!

[@BoiseyMusic]

The whole pre-boarding (pre) bit, is a George Carlin bit.

[@romant142]

Boisey right, do you think he stole it?

[@JeffDinkin]

"What about Bill Clinton? - He was never as funny to me, close, but no cigar!"

JERRY MY FAVORITE

[@ackermo24]

Ugh this brings back such warm memories. Growing up watching these guys was the best. I love you Jerry Seinfeld. You guys are hysterical 🤣🤣🤣 I loved this bit 🙌🙌💜💜

[@dannydangles0929]

His voice hasn’t changed at all

[@mitchschrader1647]

That preboarding riff is a Carlin bit.

[@savehimgffff1777]

This is my grandpas talking in heaven

[@jawaharhingorani3182]

Jerry stole the pre-boarding and pre-existing condition jokes from George Carlin!

[@dmohaisen]

Jawahar Hingorani he sure did!

[@robbysoaks]

John Cleese made a funny observation about some modern nomenclature surrounding electrical devices. He was on a plane and just prior to take off, they were told to 'power down' their phones etc and he turned to the person next to him and said, "Is that the same as switching it off?" He thought it was ludicrous and hilarious, which it is!

[@anwarburi]

I have watched Jerry Seinfeld on many shows and when he doesn't respect the body of work of the host he usually just commanders the show and ends up doing everything. But Stephen Colbert holds his own and even adds to the whole pre bit by doing the pre taping bit and Jerry actually respects him. This was great.

[@eugeneburton7614]

Absolutely hilarious! I think I had to get older to appreciate this guy.

[@The_Great_Darino]

That whole 'pre-' bit was lifted from George Carlin 🙄

[@shangee2275]

Lifted? Are you dumb?

[@ellaa_nashwara]

Finally somebody noticed

[@africaRBG]

Not sure about that. Jerry is a writer. They both do these types of jokes. Jerry is well established.

[@alicerizing280]

Jerry Seinfeld is a smug prick, just watch his interview with Larry King. Watch how Jerry responds to Larry King about the way Seinfeld went off the air. Also I think the show's success is due to LARRY DAVID'S excellent comedic writing skills not Jerry's, it's obvious that he road L. David's coat tails in that regard. Let's not forget (how could we) Jerry's crappy acting. Oh & he has not done one good TV show or Movie since, coincidence i think not.

[@alicerizing280]

lol

[@ConceptHut]

Jerry is awesome

[@YonyGut1MakesMetalCovers]

at 2:15, Seinfeld is doing a STAND UP MATERIAL about phone calls. He can't help it! He's always doing stand up! :)

[@boricuadelight]

Colbert is such a great interviewer

[@SMokeUCantHandle]

So KZbin plays Carlin and Seinfeld back to back in my little algorithm, so I just listened to 15 minutes of pre-boarding a plane jokes.
