This seems like a regular feature of left-leaning satire, there’s often a character who’s conservative or has retrograde ideas, but it also portrayed in a very sympathetic way. You got your Archie Bunkers, Ted Lassos, Hank Hills, the Steve Colbert character, etc.

It’s not as though Jerry is taking cracks at new sitcoms and failing. He tours once in a while and instantly sells out wherever, and then otherwise lives off of Seinfeld residuals. I presume he’s still really good? But I haven’t been to one of his shows; I just know it’s a hot ticket when it comes near. I don’t think he generally does the political whining in his work either. He just goes full boomer asshole when he sits down in an interview setting. But it’s been clear for decades that he’s not a great guy.
Still, it’s not really a Rob Schneider situation where Schneider does all of the same whining and is really unfunny and is kept afloat entirely through whatever his buddy Sandler throws him.
I went to a Seinfeld stand up show about 10 yrs ago. It was pretty good.
He’s a pro and that’s his thing. So, no surprise there really.

I love this bit he does while accepting some award in 2007.
Big “Edward Norton delivering a roast” energy, even if not quite that classic.

First cut was to Chris Rock. Missed opportunity.
Finally watched season one of The Boys. Ended up staying up all night binging it. Lots of hilarious sex and death. Will try to watch 2 and 3 before 4 premiered.

That show rules. Huge highlight of the “watching TV all day every day” phase of my pandemic experience.

Edit: wait this is season two. You’re in for a treat.
Original post: The whale scene is probably my favorite thing ever. I absolutely lost it.

Speaking of, this was a pretty funny thing to run across.
Sam Jay was the one comedian I was not familar with and I thought they did great.
I have to figure out where I am in the boys. Season 3ish partly I think. I just have a hard time staying on track with Amazon shows.
Korean game shows > American game shows. Physical is fun, I don’t see why they don’t do an American version. Good looking people in shape doing physical activities. Seems like a no brainer.
Sanada is such a highlight in everything hes in

It’s great and gets solid reviews. I love it too. I doubt this is a very unpopular opinion.
