Seinfeld's new one is funny

[tragabigzanda]

Whenever there's active promotion on the part of somebody else, whenever I see somebody all dolled up for a fancy photograph and someone's handing out flyers or whenever there's active promotion for something like that, as an imposition on my day, I hate all those people and I want them to fail. I have a visceral reaction to advertising and promotion. There's just something about salesmanship that grates on me on a very base level and I react very negatively towards it. I want those people to suffer and I want their enterprises to fail.

It was recorded during the tour in which we saw him. I’m wondering how much of the material is the same. Can’t wait to watch it, tho.

i thought the Seinfeld special was a bore fest. very dated jokes, couldn't finish it.

We just watched as well. Yeah, decent enough. Glad to hear he's met someone

[Stickman]

I've been enjoying these. He puts one out every couple days.

New Patton Oswalt is good. Not his best special, but some great moments. The final ten minutes was underwhelming though.

not a fan of him and i thought it was...not good.

I like him but I couldn't even get through this. The whole bit about being 50 was so boring and trite

Yeah in retrospect this has gotten worse instead of better. Patton for me is a bit like Pearl Jam, and I’m always glad to check out what he’s creating. But the special is not great.

Agree. Good analogy. And I've listened to the new PJ album...1x.

when comedians become comedy actors, it's always awkward when they try and go back, especially when they dip into that barrel one too many times. it's like Ice Cube trying to rap again. i appreciate where you came from, but realize where you're at.

[VinylGuy]

Oh i saw Ice Cube comedy Fist Fight. Please let him return to music.

Im looking forward to that Eric Andre special on Netflix.

And, i have some Bill Burr old ones on Netflix to see. And one from Aziz too. Oh, and the new Seinfeld i keep forgeting.

Watched the new Seinfeld standup special on Netflix last night. While nothing groundbreaking, I loved it because it was a comforting escape after a brutal week-and-a-half. And his ability to compose an hour-long special down to every single syllable and gesture, yet still have it feel really loose, is something to behold.

i saw it yesterday too. Yeah, i was actually amused on his performance. He is old school for sure, but i loved that. The bit about marriage was great because of his performance.

Very cool.
