JERRY! I LET A THOUSAND FLOWERS BLOOM JERRY!
i always have to squint when trying to post mao so I don't accidentally costanza
He had $70m and complete creative freedom to make any comedic project he wanted. The capstone of 40 years practicing one craft. He made a movie about poptarts.
I assume he's gotten a lot of negative feedback and he wants to help rebuild his brand. And this didn't help either...

When asked how he managed to spoof such a recognizable brand's story—and as many actual names as he did—without permission, he told Variety the sound advice he got from a lawyer: "If people are dead, it's much harder for them to sue you."
What's the deal with hiring assassins on the Dark Web? They call it the Dark Web, but my browser theme was still in light mode!
this story was pushed because Jerry hired a public relations specialist. he's seen his numbers and is trying to repair his image
Has he tried not being an unfunny out of touch pedophile that vocally supports an ongoing genocide?
Those are his non-negotiables.
no
He's clearly trying to reconnect with younger audiences. Maybe he could demonstrate how hip he is by dating someone younger? Maybe a 17 year-old? Just spit-balling here.
He's clearly trying to reconnect with younger audiences.
How about he looks for jokes that aren't about being a misanthropic hates-kids-but-wants-to-violate-them-too sex pest piece of shit that is stuck in the 90s?
He's gonna do a "William H Gates" thing and rebrand as "Jerome A Seinfeld" isn't he?
Wow the woke mob got to Jerry just for speaking his mind and dating a 17 year old
Its odd. I saw that clip with him gervais, ck and chris rock. Those other two were saying the N word in front of chris. He was the only one that objected there. It should have been a lightbulb moment where he realizes that some of these guys aren't doing comedy they're taking the piss and seeing what they can get away with
That was a truly awful video, and Chris wasn’t even objecting, he was going along with it, as can be expected from the guy whose most infamous comedy bit is about how there’s good black people and there are slurs.
And then CK just really reveling about using the word constantly, with everyone laughing. Bizarre video.
This is why Chris Rock was never, and could never be a King of Comedy, even if Bernie was still with us
These type of these white dudes don't want friendship with poc they just wanna have people who are social experiments. Their ideas of bonding is what some call shit tests. Just probing and prodding. Seeing what they can get away with with you. And if they sense weakness well..... You see that vid is in a live audience imagine in private.
I've always wondered how Chris rock feels about his legacy being "giving racists a pass on calling black people the n word"
Based on that video, doesn't seem to really bother him.
His legacy is now getting smacked at the oscars and throwing his entire race under the bus. Must suck
He had this one short skit where he gave tips for black men to avoid getting shot by the police.
It was terrible.
He also coined “the friend zone” in the same special. Honestly though I don’t think it’s fair to fault him for that. Chuds steal things and recontextualize them in a way that removes irony, humour and nuance. It’s their whole thing. The solution to that isn’t to just make art that has no irony, humour or nuance. That’s just letting idiots bully us out of making anything that doesn’t talk down to its audience.
I thought the term friend zone came from that episode of Scrubs.
"I saw him on that 'Talking Funny' thing, but I don't recall any of them talking any funny at all" 
Too little, too late, especially considering that his sex predator antics targeted too-little people far too late in his lifespan. 
Wow, it's almost as if the people who are always complaining about the left ruining comedy really just want to be able to say whatever hatful shit they want and say "its just a joke". Who'd of thought that
Truly the worst form of censorship
"Nobody's offended we just all agree you're a total bore"
Can't even blame wokeness for ruining comedy anymore, because of woke.
"I have realised that blaming everything on the people who will actually criticise me for being a known paedophile was a strategic blunder"
Puts on Gilbert Gottfried's Seinfeld voice
They say the extreme left is ruining comedy. Who is it saying that? Who are these people?!
I keep turning left eventually I'm just going straight again. Who is it turning extremely left? Who are these people?!
Same thing happened when I turn right. I turn right a few times and now I'm turning left. Who can follow these kinds of directions? Who are these people?!
nine eleven
Cool, now he can work on a stand up routine that isn’t recycling mediocre bits that were last biting and timely during the Nixon administration.
He should make a movie about how Bad Dragon was founded
What's the deal with ovipositors? Which one came first, the ovipositor or the egg?
you can only know an egg's ovimomentum or it's oviposition because measuring one affects the other.
This is why eggs in smaller diameter ovipositors are always going a significant fraction of the speed of light.
Too much zoophilia
Not joking look it up
...not much on the wiki page... which now seems kinda suspicious
It's not going to be on Wikipedia
But it's confirmed in furry circles that the owners of bad dragon had a server where they shared bestiality media. Including homemade
Any better makers that we know of?
Daily reminder that Seinfeld voluntarily sold a recording of himself ranting about how much he hates and also wants to creep on underage gymnasts.
He what
I have such sights to show you.
Well, sounds.
CW: extreme kiddie creeping.
holy fucking shit he really wrote that down and PUBLISHED IT?!
Yep. The 90s fucking sucked because they were full of smug sex predator misanthropes like him getting paid to be that way and no one seemed to care.
I found a YouTube link in your comment. Here are links to the same video on alternative frontends that protect your privacy:
The argument that he makes is essentially, “I’m an Olympic-tier comedian and I should be able to hit any goal that’s placed in front of me”
