Which coincidentally is the primary reason I’ve never found him funny. All egotistical assholes I’ve ever met thought they are hilarious. They are mostly just incredibly cruel and bigoted.
Watching Seinfeld is like watching people endlessly criticize others because they are given license to since they themselves are jokes. Never will you find a heartfelt moment. Never will you see someone reflect on how awful they’ve been to other people.
“No hugging, no learning” was a writing rule for the Seinfeld show. The lack of reflection and heartfelt moments is an intentional response to other sitcoms of the era.
Same goes for Ricky Gervais IMO…shout out to Karl Pilkington who genuinely was the funniest part of Derek before he became fatigued with Ricky’s bullshit.
I kind of liked Gervais at one point, but I realized he was still one of those types, just one I agree with occasionally. So I don’t follow him anymore.
I just figured it was cause he’s an egotistical asshole.

I thought he was funny playing a petty, egotistical asshole as a character. It became a lot less funny after realizing he’s just like that.

He just followed Cleese in doing that.
Cleese wears the lampshare well though.
Seinfeld thinks he has important things to say. The show’s Hot Coffee arc and the jabs at the “A dingo ate my baby!” woman didn’t age well.
well i mean, its duke
duke sucks
