The Pop Tart metaphor works here - junk food for a junk movie.

[@DIHUpodcast]

Nice!!

[@catcaves]

The success of Seinfeld was more about Michael Richards, Jason Alexander and Larry David.

[@DIHUpodcast]

I just had that conversation with someone a few days ago after we watched Unfrosted. Seinfeld worked because of the side characters.

[@eccentricviews]

@@DIHUpodcastI used to think that but I saw him live a few years ago and he was fucking hilarious. The entire stadium was roaring with laughter. There’s no way Michael, Jason or Julia could do that. But I agree with you that unfrosted was bad.

[@WhyDoTroonsHaveTheSameVoices]

Larry David’s constant shame was obviously the engine. Seinfeld was just the acceptable packaging.

[@rtothec1234]

Pretty much. Jason Alexander was Larry’s conduit. But to his credit, Jerry was a good foil to George Costanza. But without Larry David’s writing, Jerry Seinfeld’s comedy is pretty average at best.

[@catcaves]

@@eccentricviews Standup comedy is not comedic acting.

[@word123456789100]

Compared to 90% of the stuff out there being garbage, it was okay.

[@CaptainCologne]

It’s been a long time since I walked out of a movie, but I walked out of “Unfrosted” and it was playing in my living room.

[@DIHUpodcast]

There was an option to walk out?!?! I emailed Netflix asking for a refund. 🤣

[@richsackett3423]

Doesn't sound like it even earned a Bee grade.

[@DIHUpodcast]

I see what you did there!! 🤣🤣

[@TheNetflixNook]

bejesus! 😂

[@matthewfrank4275]

I liked the movie. I would probably give it 6/10. I thought it was a silly story told to a young kid by Seinfeld. I watched it with my youngest son. That’s probably why I liked it too. Because I could watch it with him and we shared a couple laughs. If you want to watch a movie with a young person like a kid, niece or nephew, it’s not a bad choice. If you are alone or with other adults, I could see how this wouldn’t appeal.

[@DIHUpodcast]

Well said. I'm glad you found some enjoyment in it!

[@RecklessDrunkenMedic]

It's hard to take you serious when you say the Seinfeld sitcom was garbage.

[@DIHUpodcast]

Cool story. Hard to take you serious when you don't respect others' opinions.

[@eMoneyUSD]

@@DIHUpodcast lmao the entire video is you not respecting others opinion. Anyone who green lit this should be fired?? That’s extreme AF. Chill out dog, your review isn’t that important. I see why you have 700 views lmao😂😂

[@RecklessDrunkenMedic]

@@DIHUpodcast "I think the Beatles were a garbage band, but here's my review of the documentary 'Get Back'".

[@DIHUpodcast]

Yeah no, I didn't disrespect any other people's opinions. Nice try though. Attack my views? 🤣🤣 Pathetic comment.

[@DIHUpodcast]

What's evidently not very clear to you is that judging the movie has nothing to do with my like or dislike of the creator or his sitcom. They are all different things and can be judged independently of each other. Maybe you should try to understand that.

[@TheNetflixNook]

I feel like the more of these I watch, the more I seeing that I enjoyed this way more than most 😂

[@DIHUpodcast]

Respect! Like what you like. I just couldn't get into this one and I usually love the absurd comedies.

[@Timberwolf0952]

I thought it was good. Hodgepodge mess? Your criticisms kind of make it sound like you have never seen a movie.

[@DIHUpodcast]

I make movies for a living. I've probably seen more movies last year than most people have in their lives. Yes. The movie was a mess. By every definition. What defense do you have of the movie besides "I thought it was good"? Why? Have you ever seen a movie?

[@76firedragon]

Trat pops was so stupid it physically hurt. And does Jerry Seinfeld hate Walter Cronkite?

[@DIHUpodcast]

Trat Pops 🤣🤣 So dumb!

[@RavensOsFan89]

Yeah I always wait for reviews on Netflix stuff because it’s either really bad or mediocre. I rarely hear glowing reviews for Netflix movies.

[@DIHUpodcast]

Same. I really checked this one out because of the giant cast. I like almost everyone in it so I thought why not.

[@thewebstylist]

Totally agree w all you said and man I couldn’t get past the first 25 mins and you watched it twice Wow 😮

[@scottmoore1614]

I loved Bill Burr’s JFK. He should have his own standalone film!

[@DIHUpodcast]

100% would watch!

[@androidphone1901]

Just watched it last night, I was disappointed! I know Jerry could do better than a PopTart themed version of Forrest Gump. I wouldn't recommend it unless you need background noise for an hour and a half.

[@DIHUpodcast]

Exactly!

[@Letnothinggotowaste]

JS just proved LD was the comedic center of the show. LD vindicated without having to open his mouth. Curb was outstanding (minus the overt racism, Leon "Black", Leon, homeless, Leon has no job, Leon mooching off Larry, etc..).

[@DIHUpodcast]

LD isn't always perfect, but was clearly all the talent.

[@scottrap]

If you had loved the Seinfeld show and hated this movie that would make more sense to me. I’m not sure how old you are but practically everyone during the 90s loved Seinfeld. It was the Beatles of sitcoms at the time. I would imagine you don’t like Larry David or Curb Your enthusiasm either?

[@DIHUpodcast]

Curb is actually kinda funny. And I know a lot of people I grew up with during the original run of Seinfeld that also disliked the show tremendously.

[@collinsmcrae]

Seinfeld, the TV show, is pretty garbage? I wish you have said that at the top. That would have saved me the few minutes that I wasted on this video.

[@DIHUpodcast]

Didn't know I needed to say something so obvious up top.

[@user-xk3vd7oc2v]

I have a great sense of humor and I enjoyed the movie. ❤

[@DIHUpodcast]

Can I ask what worked in the movie for you? I usually love pardoy/absurd comedy. This one just didn't work for me.

[@eMoneyUSD]

I enjoyed it as well!

[@catcaves]

@@DIHUpodcast Under polling data look up 'head lice' you will find 15 percent of people like it and so i am sure he fits in that category

[@usmetaltv]

based on how many people wash Netflix and loved this movie shows that boomers are STILL. the power group and there are more of us than you young self proclaimed experts. we know what it was like to fear being drafted and dying in nam and life is too short not to find humor in everything

[@DIHUpodcast]

Nothing you said in your comment makes any difference to whether a movie is good or not. And most people did not love this movie.

[@laurenslee9134]

I appreciate your absolute honesty. I believe most everything Netflix puts out (their original content) is *garbage* Now, to me and many others, Seinfeld the show is one of my favorite sitcoms of all time. That's due to the talented cast and the excellent writing. Jerry Seinfeld, as a comedian, has always been clever. Clever is not necessarily funny but it can be humorous. I would describe Jerry the comedian as "clever" but not knee-slapping funny.

[@DIHUpodcast]

Well said. I agree with pretty much everything you said. Although I wasn't a fan of Jerry or the show, I completely understand why others would find him funny and enjoy the show. Larry David is a fantastic creator.

[@rbslammed6163]

[@AndersHaalandverby]

I'm a huge fan of Seinfeld, Curb, and Most things Jerry Seinfeld-related. And this movie is the worst thing I have ever seen. Its seriously bad. I actually had to stop the movie 4 times, and just take a couple of hours break from it, dreading the moment when I'd be putting it back on. It really is one of the shittiest pieces of turd.

[@DIHUpodcast]

Yep. Not sure what the studio was thinking when they made this.

[@bonzodog67lizardking15]

Jerry Seinfeld knows he's an over-rated hack, so his sorry life has deteriorated into desperate Pop-Tart jokes instead of being a 90's has been. It's either crappy movies like this, or being upstaged by funnier comedians in his car getting coffee.

[@rtothec1234]

I’ve seen enough Jerry Seinfeld solo works to understand that Larry David was the talented one. 😂

[@DIHUpodcast]

Nailed it!

[@hotpoker8667]

Yes he does.

[@DIHUpodcast]

I have never understood why people find him funny. 🤷

[@zachwhitneymusic]

Apparently you like serious things because Unfrosted is hilarious.

[@DIHUpodcast]

What was your favorite part about it?

[@zachwhitneymusic]

@@DIHUpodcast I enjoyed the pacing. It was full of funny jokes, wonderfully cast, and was absurd and silly without being stupid. It was fun.

[@DIHUpodcast]

Awesome. Glad you found it enjoyable!

[@jadekirkland8515]

Not to mention that there is a huge boycott on Kellogg rn.

[@DIHUpodcast]

Oh yeah! I forgot about the boycott. This was the worst time to release that movie.

[@ParodyWhitney]

“Jerry had blackmail dirt on these comedians who volunteered to be in this even after reading the script…” 😂😂😂 great postmortem

[@user-si7iu7sz8o]

I loved it, but I did have a few drinks beforehand

[@DIHUpodcast]

That's where I messed up. No drinks first!

[@joedecarlo7892]

Come on genius its fun and that’s the beauty of it

[@DIHUpodcast]

It's not. And that my opinion. Doesn't take a genius to know how opinions work.

[@thomasholik8453]

I too, never thought Jerry Seinfeld was funny. I'm old enough to remember watching his debut on Johnny Carson. I thought to myself, "that's supposed to be funny?". Watching his stand up since then has never changed my mind about his comedy routine. Not funny! Jerry is nothing more than a straight man. Think of Abbott to Costello and Oliver to Hardy. In my opinion, Seinfeld was a hit because the other actors were the real comedians while Jerry played the "straight" man they could bounce their routine off of. Does any fan, of Seinfeld, honestly remember a scene where Jerry was funny by himself? The last couple of years, when writer and co-creator Larry David left the show, it fell on Jerry to come up with the new material. That's when the series started to fall flat and they signed off.

[@DIHUpodcast]

It's become very evident over the years that Larry David was the real talent behind the camera and all of Jerry's co-stars were the talent in front of the camera.

[@BainMac]

I used to think Jerry was the king of comedy, watched Seinfeld again and again, but the episodes after Larry David left wasn’t good. He hit the jackpot with that show and was elevated to a comedy genius, but what has he done after that? Two standup special his whole life? And some bad movies and marriage ref. Comedians in cars getting coffee was entertaining because of his guests. His body of work compared to other great comedians is negligible. Sorry to say this, he also come across as a big douchbag in interviews and is extremely high on himself.

[@DIHUpodcast]

Larry David was the best thing that ever happened to him.

[@Commenting800]

I thought i was the only. Seinfeld absolutely SUCKS.

[@DIHUpodcast]

Agreed!

[@41Vega]

😂 it’s almost like your bothered by a movie😂 geeez lol

[@DIHUpodcast]

Yeah. That's what reviewing a movie is. Talking about what you thought about the movie. It's almost like you don't understand things. 🤣🤣

[@LucienCallidus]

I think it depends on your sense of humour and what your expectations were. the movie appealed in the same way that podcasts like cumtown did, which did have an audience. The jokes are this mix of one liners and/or surreal and silly premises, the kind that anyone with a funny and creative group of friends is very familiar with. and thats the beauty of it, there is no plotline, or story to be told, its just a general silly foundation for the writers to sit around riffing and coming up with funny ideas.

[@Kilkenny1923]

It was an easy payday for a bunch of comedians. That’s all.

[@DIHUpodcast]

Really easy. And some great comedians too.

[@jadekirkland8515]

This movie had so many great actors in it and I kept waiting for the movie to get good. Spoiler, it didn’t. Seinfeld definitely has to have blackmail on them for them to sign up to be a part of this garbage.

[@DIHUpodcast]

Exactly!

[@trentondean4606]

As a massive fan of the sitcom, I was incredibly disappointed in the movie. Doesn't hurt my feelings if you don't like the show though. Everybody is different.

[@DIHUpodcast]

And I respect your love for the show. I'm glad we can be civilized and understand people have different tastes.

[@ac-uk6hs]

My whole family loved it

[@DIHUpodcast]

That's awesome! Glad you found some enjoyment in it!

[@winr4rgaming]

the seinfeld show pretty garbage? nice take, whats a good sitcom?

[@DIHUpodcast]

Married With Children was a pretty good sitcom. That 70's Show had some great episodes (not all were good). I'm not a big TV fan.

[@winr4rgaming]

@@DIHUpodcast i was sarcastic btw, u didnt substanciate seinfeld being dogshit at all, it simply came across as contrarian.

[@DIHUpodcast]

@@winr4rgaming I don't think I need to substantiate my personal opinion. That's why it's my opinion. As for coming across contrarian, that's a bold claim to just assume that everyone needs to love the show and those that don't are just contrarian. Maybe that's not what you are saying, but if it is, it's a little weird.

[@winr4rgaming]

@@DIHUpodcast sure, you dont have to substanciate ur opinion, but you did make a video about your opinion so its a bit weird not to do it too i think. Pretty garbage is a big claim my guy

[@DIHUpodcast]

@@winr4rgaming And yet the video wasn't about the Seinfeld show. It was about the movie Unfrosted. So no, I don't need to do anything with the show. Pretty garbage is exactly what I think that show is. If you disagree, cool. But maybe don't go after people for disagreeing with you. It's kinda sad.

[@justingrimm6642]

Thank you.

[@gabesegura6654]

Glad I watched it before this review. It’s fun! 😃 Adam is not. ☹️

[@DIHUpodcast]

Why did you comment three separate times? Only to come to the conclusion that you don't think I'm fun based off a review. Weird. 🤷

[@edsalaiz7939]

I have no respect for someone who reviews a movie where he already hates the creator. How can you be bias? Not follow you, be open minded going into a review. Don’t quit you day job.

[@DIHUpodcast]

Cool story bro. I dislike a lot of actors and still enjoy movies they are in. Crazy for you to assume that's why I didn't like this movie. Guess you should keep your day job and stay away from commenting and lacking comprehension. By the way, I don't care about your respect. I have no respect for you either commenting the way you do. Good luck in life, seems like you need it.

[@johnpelosi4117]

Yeah, Jerry was never funny to me, in Seinfeld he was just the straight man in a world of actually funny characters, with dialogue from actually funny Larry Charles and Larry David. If this is what is supposed to shame "Woke Culture" it fails miserably.

[@michaelh7623]

😂 Didn't see the movie but never laughed once at his show. Literally nothing was funny.

[@DIHUpodcast]

I feel the same way.

[@theadamartho]

This is a trash take.

[@DIHUpodcast]

Cool opinion. Why?

[@joseph7105]

I love how upset people are from watching this movie that was obviously not made for you. I watched the trailer and thought "oh ok I'm not the demographic they're going for" and never watched the movie. the end. 90% of movies out there I know I won't like, so I don't watch it. Why is the internet blowing up over this movie? people are acting like they were forced to buy it and watch it.

[@DIHUpodcast]

I was forced. Jerry Seinfeld broke into my home and made me watch it.

[@BoFaat]

Seinfeld is dope as fuck (talkin bout the sitcome) but yeah the movie was fuckin garbage..I actually turned it off after 25 minutes...

[@DIHUpodcast]

Glad you like the sitcom. It's not for everyone, but I understand why people like it. We agree on the movie though so that's good.

[@Charliehund100]

The teenage girl delivery, complete with melodramatic histrionics and the constant superlatives ("literally the worst thing ever!") is enough to make me not trust this review, regardless of how bad the movie looks.

[@DIHUpodcast]

Well that's your choice! But I would care more about your choice if you didn't use descriptions like "teenage gril delivery" or "melodramatic histrionics". Makes you sound like a real sexist p.o.s. so honestly don't give a F what you think.

[@yournamehere6002]

Seinfeld is a great stand-up, the sitcom is a classic. This movie is a one-joke idea stretched a little thin, nothing more. It doesn't really deserve the vitriol you're throwing at it. It's inoffensive, silly.....has a few good jokes. If you don't like Jerry Seinfeld, why watch the movie?

[@DIHUpodcast]

I don't like Dwayne Johnson, still watch his movies. I can separate the actor and the movie if the movie is good. This one was not.

[@yournamehere6002]

@@DIHUpodcast Yeah, but Dwayne Johnson doesn't write and direct his movies. This is written by a stand-up you don't like, directed by him, from a stand-up bit he did, with the sense of humor you don't think he has.

[@DIHUpodcast]

Maybe you don't understand. So let me shout it for you. I CAN SEPARATE ACTORS AND DIRECTORS FROM THE FINISHED PRODUCT TO DECIDE IF I LIKED A MOVIE OR NOT. Hopefully that clears things up for you.

[@yournamehere6002]

Let me shout it for you. SEINFELD WROTE THE THING, AND YOU DON'T THINK HE'S FUNNY, SO WHY WOULD YOU THINK THIS WOULD BE FUNNY? Hopefully that clears it up for you.

So just mimic what I just did. Shows you have nothing left to say. Work on your comprehension skills. Or just stay off the Internet.

[@mulone214]

Of course you would not understand. You don't think he is funny. The rest of plant earth thinks he's funny . He's so sucesssfull, they allow him to do what ever he wants. Does anyone allow you to do that? I don't think so.

[@DIHUpodcast]

Yeah. I do whatever I want. No one tells me what to do. That was possibly the dumbest comparison I've ever heard. 🤣🤣

[@DBCooper3]

You have under 10,000 followers and he had the number 1 TV show when it was on TV

[@DIHUpodcast]

Cool story. Embarrassing for you to compare success because you don't like that I thought he movie was bad. Stay classy Seinfeld simp.

[@rflorio]

A very convoluted story of a possible good idea that Jerry Seinfeld really screwed up. He is out of touch with this films audience. For example, look at Curb Your Enthusiasm. Everything about that show and the way Larry David approached it, worked. On paper it shouldn't, right? Larry's the same age and generation , but he chose to to make the show about the absurd situations then let his costars tear into it using improvisational humor and not worrying about being politically correct. Which makes you think of who was the genius behind the Seinfeld Show? My thought are that Jerry is a smug, critical want-to-be actor who may have some stand-up chops for his audience but in this situation, he had no focus on what this film supposed to be. It felt very scattered and that was a shame considering the talent he had at his disposal. Was it satire, a play on current events, historical story telling of two powerhouse companies or a bad version of a bit from his act. I think it was that latter. I think he is good at letting other people be funny around him. Swing and a miss Jerry.

[@DIHUpodcast]

Well said!

[@WhyDoTroonsHaveTheSameVoices]

Seinfeld was vanilla network junk for whitebread squares. McJokes for McDopes.

[@geddykrugerthealt-leftover2237]

Seinfeld is the comedy equivalent of mediocrity for its own sake. Without US-American imperialism and New York narcissism, garbage like that would never have seen the light of day.
