So Seinfeld is widely considered the best sitcom of all time. Well I’m here to say that I think it absolutely sucks. It comes on after The Office re-runs at night and I actually tried to watch it for a bit last night because I couldn’t find the remote and was too lazy to get up to change the channel. Like Bobo when he finally got to sleep in a bed with his girl the other night, I didn’t last 3 minutes. The exchange that made me get off my ass and change the channel was this one where Jerry is at the gym talking to some woman:
I usually last about ten minutes on the stairmaster. Unless, of course, there’s someone stretching in front of me in a leotard, then I can go an hour. That’s why they call it the stairmaster. You get up there and you stare
The laughtrack exploded. Almost broke the speakers on my TV. That sounds like a line the IT guy would use at the gym before he sneaky took a picture of another dude for a blog.What the fuck is funny about that? I can honestly say I have never watched an episode in its entirety. Don’t give a shit what you think about that either. Honestly Jerry Seinfeld drives me crazy. He’s a gazillionaire that is awful at stand up, got his own show, and now drives around his 8,000 antique cars with the biggest shit eating grin since the Cheshire Cat. I absolutely love Curb and Larry David but I feel like even he’d admit that Schindler’s List is funnier than Seinfeld looking back at it. Just my opinion. Listen I know there are plenty of famous quotes from the show but I don’t think any of them come from Seinfeld himself. Call the show “George” or “Soup Nazi” but not Seinfeld. Guy sucks, he’s not funny, and he needs to finally blow his nose. Fuck him. Am I the only one that thinks that show sucks?
Other shows that fit this category: Everybody Loves Raymond, Friends, Frasier, Two and a Half Men. My types of shows are usually the ones that get cancelled/not renewed: ie. Arrested Development, Summer Heights High.
PS. I realize I could have written this blog in 1998. The re-runs just piss me off before bed.
PSS. I am not an anti-semite like Bobo so that has nothing to do with it.
You’ve got to be kidding me…. this is your first post? Might be the first person to hired and fired the same day here at thefatha… fucking JCH…I watch 3 epsiodes last night no lie
Noooooooooooo! Don’t cut off my supply of free t shirts.
That’s the beauty of it though. I don’t care what you think. I know you love the guy. I think he sucks. Agree to disagree.
thank you bobo
“I absolutely love Curb and Larry David but I feel like even he’d admit that Schindler’s List is funnier than Seinfeld looking back at it.” hahahha…. hilarious
Can’t wait to see Bobo’s rebuttal.
I am going to give him his day… tomorrow I respond
Worse than Winky!
Brutal first post. Makes Winky look like Elew.
Lboogie you are Larry David in his late 20′s. I understand your frustration. I love everything else about the guy. My beef is with Seinfeld.Just doesn’t do it for me.
Joshua, this is your mother. You know I love you son, but that post sucked. Stick to working behind the scenes. xoxo
and you wanted to be my latex salesman…
Your posts are as bad as your law skills. Call Jackie Charles for all your legal needs.
hahaha appreciate the venom. All I know is I don’t think 1 post in 2 months on here got double digit comments so I got that going for me.
slow your roll buddy… you aren’t bigger than dick soaking
Blasphemy. Although I will admit the first half of the show’s run was better than the last half since some of the writers left. Now excuse me while I go take a piss before I get euromiseticis poisoning.
keep this kid on … good for my ego
Winky the only thing you could write that would get more views than me is a suicide note
hahahaha shitty blogger fight!
agreed. seinfeld is the most overrated sitcom of all time. DUMB characters who do dumb things. George is one of the worst characters in TV history. Others… Ross from friends, raymonds wife, drew careys secretary, frasier, diane from cheers, phoebe from friends, leonardo dicaprio from growing pains (boner RIP), sondra and vanessa from cosby, ryan from the office, roseanne, urkel and kimmie gibbler.
Josh that post sucked, but you’re still a cutie
In the scheme of things, cosmo kramer should have a wildly successful clothing line, car dealership, real estate business, tennis instruction camp, muffin top bakery and daytime tv show from his shower. And theyd all be better than seinfeld.
JCH is just salty that Elaine yada yada’d him:
“Yeah. I met this lawyer, we went out to dinner, I had the lobster bisque, we went back to my place, yada yada yada, I never heard from him again.”
“But you yada yada’d over the best part.”
“No, I mentioned the bisque.”
I have to agree that Seinfeld is one of the least funny jews around. Give me LD, Seth Rogan, or Gabe Kaplan any day. However, the show can’t be judged on him alone. What makes the show great, and any great show for that matter, is how the characters intersect with story line. I understand that LD gets a lot of well deserved credit fo that, but Seinfeld had a big part of that too. The show created some of the best prime and secondary characters of generation. My favorite of which is Putty. W/O Putty their is no Joe on Family Guy, and although some can argue that Joe is the weakest of those characters….he makes it ok to make fun of crippled people. After all, isn’t that what makes us laugh? Wheel chairs….
All in all, very good post/ topic. It’s good for us to revisit things after they’ve had a chance to settle.
What’s not funny? You get on the stairmaster….TOO STARE!
JCH- I agree Seinfeld is THE most overrated sitcom of all time. What about drama? I 100% think its the Sopranos.
Everyone in my family, people I work with, even neighbors all think Seinfeld is hilarious and think I’M f*cked up for not thinking so. Plus they irritatingly quote the show in a feeble attempt to convert me, which of course backfires since, no surprise, all those quotes aren’t funny. I feel like I’m in one off those nightmares where you’re screaming and no one can hear you. I keep telling ‘em noshing on paint chips is detrimental—and as it turns out recursive: Developmentally disabled kids suffer from Pica, which in turn causes mental retardation causing, among other things, Pica—but it doesn’t register; ah the irony. Of course these plebs all like Obama, too, so not a shocker.
Liking obama and seinfield seems to be a thing for people with low IQ’s and liberals. Hmmmm maybe liberals have low IQ’s. That explains alot.
Actually Jerry is conservative – so Seinfeld is technically a Republican sitcom – which explains how unfunny it is …
Every single word in this post is wrong.
Are you off your rocker???? Seinfeld is absolutely HILARIOUS. I’ve seen every episode more than 5 times and it is still funny.
Get a brain scan when you have some time. You need it!
Everybody Loves Raymond, Friends, Frasier, Two and a Half Men are all great shows and very funny. Friends isn’t as funny but has sexy people and frasier is more for intellectuals but if you have the IQ to get the jokes its funny.
You are right about seinfield though he is retarded. I have never laughed at one of his jokes or anything on his show. He’s up there with conan obrien, dane cook, chris rock and tracy morgan as being completely unfunny. I have no idea how any of these lame morons became famous. Btw who the hell made the cast of seinfield. Talk about finding the 4 ugliest people on tv and putting them on 1 show not to mention newman. I always wondered if this was deliberate or if the guy was just blind. I mean come on give us a little sex appeal to make it watchable.
Why are people so obsessed about having beautiful people in things you watch? I think the flaws that people have in entertainment (not your typical beautiful person) makes the show or movie so much better. Now about Seinfeld, it’s cool with me if you don’t like it. No big deal, not your thing. What does bother me is when people have to sink so low to insult the intelligence of people who do enjoy it. This seems all to common with people. It makes me sick.
I totally agree fuck seinfield I have never laughed once at that bullshit of a tv show
You don’t get it.. first how dumb you must be to judge on a show after seeing one scene..
Second: seinfeld is the only comdy series that no character have tried to spice it up with the time.. and thats probably because jerryseinfeld cannot act.. which came in his favor ..
It’s the best comdy that have been ever made, thats what experts say.. so agree or disagree.. you really don’t exist in the world
