Oh good lord. That show had a lot of amazing writers on it. Larry David, Jerry Seinfeld, Larry Charles, Peter Mehlman, etc. The idea that you think Larry was the show is just shitting all over the other brilliant writers that show had. Larry and Jerry went over every single episode together that the others wrote when they were there. Also, some absolute classic moments happened after Larry David left...the Yada Yada, the Serenity Now, Elaine's dance, etc. Because of Curb, people seem to have revisionist history when it comes to the quality of episodes after Larry left that doesn't actually match up with reality.

[@michaelhill6451]

Agreed. I think Larry David had a lot more to do with the show's success than Jerry Seinfeld did. Just look at the fact that Larry David had his own very successful show after this and Jerry Seinfeld never really did anything of note after Seinfeld. It is true that the show still had good episodes after Larry David left. It could have been due to following the formula Larry David already established though. Anyway, I agree, I don't find Seinfeld's standup to be funny at all.

[@SS-L.O.T.O.]

I feel like the people that say Jerry isn't funny and say his show is better than he was as a stand up might be the same that look at rogan as a great podcast host but not as much a stand up.

Sure, he may not be as great a stand up as Dave Chappelle or Louis C.K.

Larry carried that show, if you’ve seen any of Jerry’s more recent work (like that ghastly Poptart movie), then you know I’m right. Jerry is an egomaniac and a narcissist. His takedown of Mitzi at the comedy store, instead of having a funny set, is proof. His interview with Letterman (I think it was, some late night guy) where he got super offended and went off because they had the AUDACITY to say Seinfeld was canceled. “It was the most successful show of all time! You think the executives didn’t want more?! Hahaha! Yeah, we got canceled! No! It ended when _I_ wanted it to! Me! The show has my name so it’s all about ME!” Jerry has had his ego stoked for way too long. People have said he’s funny for decades when it was compliments of other people. All of his standup is trash. “Oh his out vs. in joke is so funny! Hahaha if you wanna go out, you gotta go out to war! And then once you’re out, you’re worried about getting back! And then you wish you never went out!” HOLY SHIT GROUNDBREAKING COMEDY IN THE YEAR 2024!

@@JanoyCresvaZero If he is so (allegedly) talent-free, then why did NBC offer him his own show? Jerry bought along Larry David after the offer was made to JERRY. It was his baby, all along! And Jerry was right - the show was ended by it's creators, while it was still high in the ratings. It was never 'canceled'.

I personally cant stand his comedy. I've seen new and old stand up, a few seasons of sienfeld. I'm old enough to have seen the show when it was relevant. I love a lot of comics, some of them probably love Jerry too, its just not for me.

[@user-sq8ki8zi8u]

To me Larry David is the comic Jerry wishes he was. Jerry can deliver, but the content sucks.

[@poindextertunes]

his stand up is severely bland as to not offend anyone, so he could get a show and line his pockets. If Seinfeld was set in a city like, lets say Cleveland or Detroit, it wouldn’t be as popular. Take Larry David out of the equation? the show isn’t even funny

I did not know the part about Jerry buying the house right above where the Shores lived, and driving past their house every day and slowing down to wave if anyone was out there. That is hilarious. Good for Jerry. 😁😎👍🏽

[@irenemax3574]

Please excuse the following if it seems pedantic: Jerry Seinfeld himself recollected that he would see Mitzi as he drove to his studio via a street "that we had in common" where she walked every day. "I didn't wave or honk but our eyes met." Edit: sounds like other comedians have embroidered Seinfeld's recollection or perhaps he told different versions.

I really think Jerry Seinfeld's show got so big because it was totally different from everything else on tv at the time and there really wasn't that much stuff to watch at the time. Yeah it had its funny moments but it was just mainly interesting because it was so different than anything else. I didn't know anybody who thought his stand up was funny. Most people including myself thought it was pretty hacky stuff back in the day.

So, from what I've gotten from this is that he was already successful. Some people are stand-up comedians and then there's funny people who don't actually do stand up comedy and to me he isn't funny but comedy is subjective and he was already on a path to success it seems.

[@tobydammit6599]

Jerry was right. Mitzi did need to have the “oh your a new comic let me take you under my wing” type attitude. She would often straight up reshape a comics entire personality or cadence to whatever she preferred the comic to be. Everyone there in that time depended on her and needed her approval to mentally feel good about themselves. Jerry was already selling a ton of tickets and didn’t need any of that. Mitzi knew this so she never wanted him on. Jerry buying that house above her was a serious boss move.

[@97NikeSb]

That doesn’t even make sense because most comics that came out of the comedy store don’t sound the same let alone have the same standup.

[@tobydammit6599]

@@97NikeSb who said anything about them having the same material? I said she would try to impose her take on what some comedians should be doing differently. Whether that be a name change or adding schtick to an act. Several up and coming (at the time )comedians have spoken about this. And due to pressure of wanting to preform at the store they often listened to her. I never said she was giving people material/jokes to tell.

@@tobydammit6599 you said she reshaped personalities and cadences.

@@97NikeSb she very famously told carlos Mencia (ned) to change his name because an angry Mexican named ned wouldn’t work. He himself has said this. Marc maron said on his pod mitzi felt he was “like a poet” therefore he should wear a scarf during his sets. Other comics have mentioned this as well on the comedy store documentary. Was she holding a gun to anyones head? No but she also gate kept a LOT and took advantage of her position as owner. Where tons of comedians were desperate to perform at so would listen to anything she told them to do. Idk why this is shocking to you. This is the least worst thing she’s done. She straight up didn’t pay any comics for years despite raking in boatloads of money. She even attributed to one comic killing himself right in front of the comedy store. Not saying she was an evil person by any means as she helped a lot. But jerry was right. Comics are inherently f’d up people for the most part and during the 70’s and 80’s a good chunk of them had drug issues and some even stayed at mitzis house above the store. Jerry didn’t care for that and mitzi took that personally and never wanted him to perform there despite being super popular.

[@JanoyCresvaZero]

How do you know all of this? Because Jerry said it was true? Jerry is a hack. And a snake. His set at the comedy store and how he just trashed Mitzi shows his true colors. Pissing all over a dead woman’s grave… man he’s so funnieeee

Comedy is subjective, you can say "i dont think he's funny" but to say "he's not funny" is just foolish. One persons opinion cannot be the fact they want it to be. Comedians that aren't funny don't have almost 50 years of successful stand up & tv shows.

[@_munkykok_]

There's a huge difference between being good at making money and being good at coming up with funny jokes. It seems clear to me what Seinfeld is better at, out of those two, but tastes obviously differ so maybe there's millions of people out there who think that he's super-funny. Mitzi wasn't wrong for developing her own preferences/tastes, same as everyone else, Seinfeld included.
