Interesting perspective on how we are all taking life way too seriously
I had to stop this video when he talked about Jerry Seinfeld not wanting to play college campuses because of the PC culture.
Maybe he stopped because of his crappy humor.

Who told Jerry he was funny in the first place?

People have a different idea of what comedy is and while Seinfeld was never my favorite I think having one of the biggest comedy sitcoms ever probably trumps what I think.

My question would be why he would have much to worry about as he was never very controversial.

I’ve been watching old Johnny Carson shows and 50’s TV shows. People had so much more class and tact and they were truly funny while still showing respect for each other. We have lost our culture by diluting it with every mutt under the sun. And they call it Diversity. I call it hell on Earth.

They key is, and I use this, is you should never take another human being seriously.
Family, friends, strangers, nobody should be taken seriously.

The biggest 'Seinfeldbot' I know was 10 years old when the show first started. She's such a fan, that she has a borderline encyclopedic knowledge of that show.

My mother was over 50 years older than that girl. My mother laughed so hard she cried each time she saw the Puffy Shirt/Kramer's low talking girlfriend episode.
