Seinfeld: "Why can't somebody not apologize?" **Bill Burr enters the room**

[@INFJparadox]

Exactly! Thank crybaby cancel culture with no sense of humor. Bill Maher got a ton of backlash for saying the same exact thing. Get over it people you're ruining it for us that appreciate comedy in all its forms

[@lv7118]

....and Dave.

Steve Harvey : every comedian I know that smokes weed ... Is broke Dave Chappelle: hold my joint ...

[@jashinslayer]

That comment was so dumb, lol. So many great comedians who used a ton of drugs/weed through their careers, Richard Pryor, Robin Williams, John Belushi, Bill Hicks, Mitch Hedberg, Chris Farley, Whoopi Goldberg. Steve trying to make it sound like "people who use drugs ain't got talent" lmao.

They demonstrate perfectly something that can't be taught; At about 3:57, that little sideways look Harvey did, that subtle face he made when he said "I've got a talk show" is the funniest thing in the video. I re-watched several times and laughed every time. A little pearl.

Absolute gold. I love these two together, great interaction and straight forward talk. Probably my favorite of these so far, at least the ones I've seen..

[@paulborst4724]

*Jerry is right.* Comedy is a science. The fact that Steve uses his intuitive "instincts" doesn't mean there isn't a teachable structure that can be matched with experience to build a career. Most comedians starting out suck (Louie C.K. being a PERFECT example - His early work SUCKS), but over time we learn and adapt to create something better.

[@henrybehm383]

Comedy is a science, but only in structure. Having an eye to find humor in tragedy is where talent comes in. And to make it, you need both. You first need the raw talent to know what can be funny, and the science to sharpen the joke.

[@ortzinator]

That only proves you can improve, that doesn't mean you can teach someone to be funny when they're not.

[@skeglar]

A science can be learned and mastered. He just explained why comedy can't be.

[@paulborst4724]

I was speaking from a writer's point of view, not a performer. I think Jerry is right as a writer, and Steve is right as a performer.

I think they're talking about the 'eye' here. The ability to see things in a warped and thereby funny way. Some people just don't look for humor in some corners of life. Comedians do, and maybe that can't be taught. Individual jokes can obviously be worked on as they reference in this clip.
