Jerry Seinfeld delivers jokes at Duke commencement ceremony | LiveNOW from FOX

[@prycelessly]

Now that is what every commencement speaker should be like - noncontrovercial, inspirational, amusing, & fun.

His life advice is spot-on, hard work, love, and humor. Good job Jerry!

Nothing subs for hard work! It worked for me. I'm a multi millionaire. When I was 17 and had a summer job at a meat processing plant, I worked so hard that, after I went back to school, the owner told me to come to work anytime that I wanted. Just show up and he would pay me. I did the work of three people. After I got my diploma I went work for 7 years. I decided to go back to school and my company supported me. When I came back for the summer, my supervisor told me that he noticed that things were not getting done when I was gone. I was one of 35 people doing the same work. Six years later, I was doing his job. Six years after that, I was the youngest Senior Manager in a company of 5000 employees.

@@888Longball just watched an entitled guy who was fired from Tesla who earned a batch in business and complained he had to work hourly until they gave him a promotion to 85k a year and stock options, when he was fired he was earning 120k, owned 2 Teslas, house and based on appearance a gym membership. Said he was ready to give up. I think he's working in the mall now for GNC. Tough to understand the mindset????

​@@888Longballsir, if your in Texas, Let me come do your camera system and access control system. We do fingerprint scanners and Bluetooth opening doors, latest technology. Also I.T support running lines and anything low voltage, connected home too. But I'm sure you probably already have some top-notch technicians! Would love to come do some work for you. But if it's inconvenient, you can just lend me 10k to help get my biz off the ground. Guarantee you will be impressed. Lol, joking, kinda. I would share my website URL, and see if you caught it before KZbin took it down. (But in all truth, my website sucks😂) Here's the question: What kind of things do you want to hear, if I was to encounter somebody like you in my city, and I want to pitch them my unique services: security cameras and surveillance, access control, computers and it support, hanging tvs, running wires. Not only will we run all the wires and build your infrastructure, but we will also configure it all set it all up and be your it support team as well. Because in-house IT is expensive, they just call us and we come get it fixed and then we're out of your hair. Lol, I need to encounter a wealthy customer that wants to adopt me, so I need to make my services attractive. I thought about putting on a long dress and going and standing on the corner with a big sign that says " security cameras" But, something tells me that just ain't going to work right. Please give me some advice, any advice, about anything 😂 I'm 39 my whole family passed during covid it is now just me my wife and my son versus the world. Small business owner trying to land some accounts, some contracts with luxury apartment complex management companies would be nice. Because I specialize in every piece of electronic equipment they have on their property😂. And I believe in hard work, and the value that it holds, I believe there is value in the struggle, in learning to conduct yourself and operate amidst the chaos. Because muscle never comes through anything other than tearing and breaking down of tissue. And this is like life.

[@shaunpiotrowski3185]

Wasn't that a recent thing? He made a comment not so long ago about how nobody laughs at his jokes anymore because of PC culture. I gotta ask, did you watch the roast of Tom Brady. After looking closely at the show, maybe Jerry wasn't the funny one. Maybe he was carried by an excellent cast (Jason Alexander). Kind of like Roseanne isn't funny anymore. If your jokes are, "maybe I should identify as a helicopter," just isn't that funny. Maybe, and I know this may come as a shock, but maybe those jokes come off as a little conservative... people love risky jokes, not conservative jokes. Conservative jokes always seem to be the same jokes in a slightly different package.

Kudos to him for giving what I consider the best graduation speech I ever heard, having been rudely insulted by a small portion of the graduates( they should not have the right to graduate).
