"We live in a time where intelligent people are silenced so that stupid people won’t be offended”
And, “the trouble with the world is that the stupid are cocksure and the intelligent are full of doubt”.
Bertrand Russel
But Libs are offended anyways.
You are absolutely right ! It happens everyday on TV and in every city and country you could possibly think of !!!
@@Lot_2023the people who call themselves liberal these days are no true liberals.
Think for a second
@@Lot_2023you’re an exhausting kind of “person”
Seinfeld:
“What’s the deal with woke culture? Why would you call it ‘woke’ when it’s clearly an embarrassing nightmare?” 🤣
lol yeah
" whats a sienfield"
___ A. Einstien.
Truth is always embarrassing to those who have built their empire on lies. As the song says, "Nothing comes to sleepers but a dream." It is better to be woke to truth--more painful, but better for humanity in the long run.
its called woke because thats their subconsciousness sending a message to normal people about them needing help to wake up
@@emilerose1424 sadly being “woke” means being “blind” to reality. Like all human endeavors, it started for righteous reasons, but rapidly devolved into a cult that thrives off of ignorance, emotions, and immaturity.
i find that if we turn off the tv and get off the internet, life is so much more peaceful.
I recently upgraded my home stereo and then got one for the bedroom also. I’m listening to music every night instead of watching TV and it has been a most wonderful change
Agreed
The internet has made the world worse.
actually turning on the internet every night to learn more things in history, science, life skills... is good thing, not to chat GPT!!
go ahead lil man have your peaceful life no one stopping you
“Harvard used to be a great place”, Jerry Seinfeld. You are 100% correct.
Embarrassed about things we should be proud of and proud of things we should be embarrassed about.
Edit: the above is a paraphrase of one of Jerry Seinfeld's points in the video.
PS thanks for the likes.
Amen! AMEN!!
Then why the big push to not teach kids about US history that might make them "feel bad"?
@@Redandranger...that "big push" has been going on for decades. They don't want to teach them anything anymore.
Have you not seen the spelling in the comments of any video?
😂
That pretty well sums it up.
Lmao. Even spellchecker shrugs and admits it has no idea for most of these morons.
Seinfeld:
Who are these woke people?
What's the deal with them?
And beyond that, "These peanuts are making me thirsty!"
@@Gablesman888 And uhm, there's no need to worry, I won a contest.
@@perryroberts4353 Very good. Hopefully we have both started something among Seinfeld fans. Jump in here folks and recite your favorite Seinfeld line. Gosh I love that show. Watch reruns regularly. Best acting. Best writing. Best casting. And best of all, a show about nothing.
And with popcorn in hand, we, most of we, gobbled it up, while the others weren’t distracted by the games (blood baths) in the arena put on by Caesar . . .
@@Gablesman888 George Can'tStandYa. Obiden too.
Genius. It's what we are all thinking but now it has a voice. Thanks Jerry!
Jerry lives in the ultimate position of FU. He literally does not care he cannot be canceled.
He is so wealthy and powerful that he can speak his mind without fear.
@@edithdlp8045 So then why does Dwayne the Rock Johnson cater to the liberal woke bullshit.
@@wizzerwiser2056Because he really really cares what people think about him. Jerry DGAF
@@wizzerwiser2056Comedians spend half their career having to accept that their jokes will always offend someone. Half his fans like dark humour and expect offenss. The Rock built his career on being loved, being the peoples Champion. His entire persona and reputation is built up on that and fame matters to him. It's his legacy. He wasn't built to have balls like Jerry.
freedom comes with standing your ground and is lost the second you dont.
"we are embarrassed of things we should be proud of and proud of things we should be embarrassed about" - Truth
Mark Twain used to be our country's conscience. He's a comedian. Today. It's Jerry Seinfeld and Bill Maher who are it.
when good becomes bad and bad becomes good
Too bad he is proud of a state that almost the entire world recognizes as a perpetrator of crimes against humanity.
@@africkinamerican You mean Japan? Maybe Mongolia? Persia? Carthage? USSR?
Right. Don’t confuse Z i o n i s m with wokism. You would have to be one of them to do that propaganda.
That was a wonderful speech - good for Jerry!!!❤
Jerry Seinfeld did good for the united states of iissrraaeell. He is a Jew, so he is one of the owners of the USI, but are you?
42 years old. The older I get the more I reflect on how many times someone told me, “just enjoy the journey,” and I didn’t listen. Please, young people, just enjoy the journey!! Life doesn’t get better once u get wherever ur headed!!! It’s just as easy to be happy now, as it will be then. U will reflect on the journey with a smile on ur face. You will miss it
You are so right. I was around 44 when I realized that there was no destination that was happiness. Happiness is a choice. Don’t give other people the power to dictate your mood. For me the realization happened when a discussion with someone (who was an a-hole) and we had a very contentious and mean phone call. It had happened in the morning and by 3:00 it was still front of mind. I thought to myself that the a-hole isn’t still thinking about the call, so why am I allowing this guy to make me upset. From that day forward I didn’t give anyone else the power to set my mood and my day. Then it dawned on me as I looked at my career until then. I had achieved all my goals professionally, yet I wasn’t happy. I realized there was always the next step will make me happy. But it never had “happiness” I thought I had. I read a quote from Martha Washington that said (I paraphrase-I find that people, no matter how high their circumstance, are always upset or mad, or find something in their life that made them unhappy, no matter what happened. She said happiness is a disposition that you choose, it doesn’t come from others-it is a choice that you make about what disposition you want.
My motto now is “choose to be happy.” I changed my life simply by choosing happy and not give others control over my mood. It takes some effort. You may have fake it for a while. But now friends see a different side of me, a side that they liked better. Instead of coming home and complaining about work, I made my self a source of happiness for my wife and kids in my family. I tried to always be positive or faked it. I went to a psychologist-that was helpful, but the main reason was that I chose to be happy. A few years later a cancer diagnosis happened. I received news in 2014 that I had less than 1% chance of making it to 2017. It is now 2024. I remained happy. I could be sick and sad and cry over my misfortune. However, I didn’t. I chose to be happy even though I was seriously ill. My psychiatrist, experts at MD Anderson Clinic, and my local oncologist were surprised. They attributed my survival based upon my disposition and the ability to keep myself with reading or learning guitar, or anything else that kept me distracted. I was not in denial, never was angry about it and rarely sad. Sure I still got mad when I couldn’t find the tv remote, spilled wine on the carpet and other life nuisance, but I only let it last a minute. I am happy I’m alive, when I die I will be happy. I have faith. God, my prayers and the prayers of others along with doctors gave me an extra 7 years. Things have taken a turn and I doubt I’ll be home to celebrate Christmas this year. Pain has increased, I can’t move like I used to. I trip and fall a lot, which does irritate me for a moment, but let it go. I have heard even a fake smile helps the body and brain. Do that until it is actually a real smile. Enjoy the journey of life, do not let others dictate your mood, and choose to be Happy.
That ain't not lie! oooo how time flies!
I knew, but I still didn’t enjoy it. (40 yrs old) But some of that wasn’t my fault, there wasn’t much to enjoy. I’m trying to do better with the time I have left. I know making a film is a stupid idea and won’t advance my career, no one will watch it, I’ll lose money, etc, but I’m hoping I’ll meet new people and have a memorable experience overcoming an incredible challenge (I’m not that skilled)… and just be able to enjoy that memory. I hate being all talk with nothing to show for it… so I guess it’s my small way of proving to those who know me, and to myself, that I can actually do something… and I’m not just a worthless empty shell of a man who does nothing. K bye, lol
You imply 42 years old is Old. If you’re living a somewhat health active lifestyle you’ve got more years in front of you than behind. I retired from the Air Force at 47 and started a new career and I’ll be retiring from that one this fall at 65 and looking forward to the next adventure. You are exactly right, it’s not so much about the destination as it is about the journey; yours isn’t half over get out there and enjoy it.
@@corydriver7634 Makes me (again, 40) feel a bit better, thanks for the encouragement, even though you aimed it at someone else, heh.
Jerry: *_Are you reading my VCR manual?_*
Kramer: *_- Well, we can't all be reading the classics, Professor eye brow..._*
😂
Jerry cast a spotlight upon beautiful simple truths.
No teleprompter and a flawless speech, take note kids.
dunno, he seems to be looking at two 45 degree prompters, but nonetheless, good speech
One or two standard deviations from the norm will produce some good results, Witness this!
@@marred2277 He's a stand-up comedian. His career is literally standing in front of a crowd and making it up as he goes along. It's a talent and some people possess it.
Being against Palestine is antisemitic
I was wondering about the presence of a teleprompter as well. But like someone has just commented, he must be and is very talented.
"We are enbarrased about things we should proud of and proud of things we should be embarrassed about." Nailed it!
did he mean Gaza?
@@joetotale6354 He may have been referring to a great many things. Wokeness, skin color, sectarianism, and many others things that have been flipped.
He’s just a boring old fart comedian. Are we really expecting him to ‘tell it like it is’ at…70? 😂😂😂
@@joetotale6354 yet he's a better comedian than you'll ever be.
@@rayoscrost6062 Yes. But my political views are 100x more mature than his. FWIW I love Seinfeld the show but I’m not interested in ethnic cleansing. It doesn’t amuse me.
Damn. At my grad, they had a retired provincial-level politician.
His opening joke was; ".... thank-you.... the reception gets warmer, the longer you're out of politics.... (pause).... laugh laugh....."
Well done, whoever got that Seinfeld booking. He actually wrote material for the appearance.
What speaks volumes, is the number of students who did not walk out. They were proud of their academic achievement. They are the future of our country, not the posers who walked out.
They just want their diploma. They're not going to risk all of that money for some old irrelevant comic.
@@randomly-genratedyour comment is irrelevant
They keep walking to unemployment line. we will not employ them.
I posed out. I work at Mcdonalds. Did i do wrong..I tried to get into B King, but they want a Duke degree or sum sht.
@@meisterlymanu5214 wal mart might like you.
I would really like Jerry and Ricky Gervais to be in charge of things for the forseeable future. 🙌
Yes 👍
Well, since we lost George Carlin...
But Ricky is an atheist. Can’t have that now can we?
@@bobfleischmann5208 ALSO an atheist.
Yes, Ricky is an atheist, but he mocks himself and atheism just like any other “belief” system. What he does not do is preach atheism or protest to convert others to his beliefs. Our society has become intolerant of those who do not embrace the concept that all values and beliefs must be destroyed in order that no one is ever offended. They fail to realize that that kind of tyranny is indeed offensive to most.
Jerry says it like it is. The word 'privilege' has been worn out. I worked hard for my education and jobs.
What does that have to do with privilege ?
@@anderslarsson7426 Apparently the people on this channel don't understand what the idea of privilege is about and think that things you earn through hard work count as privilege. Something the privilege debate doesn't care about at all. It's about systemic advantages given to a populace on a race-based system. Like my grandparents got a cheap house due to war loans which my Black contemporaries could not have. Thus, I descended from people in houses (which is known to improve academics for example) while some of them did not even though their grandparents fought in the same war.
Cool, I did too. I also benefitted from privilege. Deceiving oneself about the degree to which you may have been advantaged is nothing to be proud of.
It does not diminish real accomplishments. It just means not taking credit for winning on a skewed playing field. Those of us who have made real accomplishments certainly wish we had done so without such privileges. But we don't play pretend.
Thank you Jerry Seinfeld! Well said!
Is... is Jerry with us? "We're embarrassed about what we should be proud of and proud of what we should be embarrassed about" beautiful!
The "us" question is the wrong one. He's on the side of sanity, like most people. When you say "us" you're throwing things in that don't apply to most people - like Jesus.
If you mean "us" as in "the sane people who want to be left alone, left to be free, with minimal state interference, with less credibility given to obviously delusional far left 'thinkers'..." then yes.
Is he for "us".
He is for sanity, common sense, and freedom
Jerry is probably still on the left..but he is certainly not a loony tune leftist, thank God.
"He's for sanity, common sense and freedom" as much as it is possible for a scamtologist 😅
No, he votes for the D party and immigration etc but wants the exact opposite for Israel, which is why they're using him as goodwill PR for recently
I was one of the students there. Thankful that I wasn't foolish enough to walk out on this amazing speech!
It seems the people who needed it most weren't there to hear it.
what were they saying before they walked out? were they urging you and others to walk out too?
@@dude8273couldn’t really hear them. I think there was a main group that carried flags, and there were scattered walk outs
congratulations on your graduation!
good for you kid...now go forth and do what is right
Jerry couldn’t have said it better and he’s right.
This was a great example of how big this woke movement actually is, 30 woke people leaves while literally thousands of normal people stay.
Which is also why all the rage bait going against it should be toned down a little as well. Both of the extreme focus is so bad for society.
But hey, it results in clicks, right?
@@LaurensPP i had this exact thought the other day in a conversation but didn’t know how to say it. Well said
Maybe 100s not thousands ain’t no way there is thousand in the middle of the football field
Thousands simply rolled their eyes, and asked who this old dude was.
Active participants are always a smaller group than the larger support. I'm sure many of them considered walking out but decided they'd worked hard and wanted to stay for the diploma or have parents watching etc. It's not a binary choice.
The irony that a comedian speaks the straight line hard truth.
It's a shame too many are afraid to follow his lead.
Remember, run with herd, die with the herd.
Grow strong and be yourself.
The irony is Jerry is barely passable as a comedian.
@@halvarmc671 Oh, you're from Harvard huh? 😂
@@GiantMeteor2024 Got tenure there.
Just tell people the truth, and watch them laugh!
@@halvarmc671 Oh, damn, all his many many awards, hit TV show, sold out comedy shows in huge arenas, decades of being regarded as one of the top comedians in the world mean nothing because an Internet nobody says so.
In Ancient Greece, those who asked the tough questions and made you think while putting a smile on your face were called Philosophers. Now, they are called comedians.
Hold your head high, Jerry. And tell us what you think.
Diogenes
Diogenes: the crazy, nudist Greek philosopher who insulted Alexander the Great. Imagine living in a ceramic jar, begging for food and money on the streets, and walking around naked in public. This is the life of Diogenes, an ancient Greek philosopher who lived in the 4th century BCE.
@@nuqwestr nobody said they were *all* popular.
Socrates was executed for "corruption of the youth."
Not for nothing did Comicus describe himself as "a stand-up philosopher" in History of the World Part 1. So often it's Mel Brooks' most subtle touches which are his best work....
@@danielallenbutler1782 Or as Bea Arthur's character put it, "A Bullshit Artist". Much to Comicus' annoyance, I might add. 😁
Holy fuck, imagine unironically comparing Plato and Socrates to Jerry. The guy hasn't written a good joke in over 20 years, and thinks it's our fault.
Absolutely brilliant. Just because they are so called educated doesn't mean they are actually intelligent. Proper speech from Jerry Seinfeld with true and valid points, great life experience.
What a fantastic speaker. It is so nice to hear Jerry and his speech. Congratulations Duke on appointing Mr Seinfeld. He was fantastic and inspired so many. Thank you.
Flawless Victory! Beautifully done Mr. Seinfeld.
What an amazing take by Jerry. He's always had a good head on his shoulders it seems. Appreciate the great words of encouragement that the internet and the world currently need. Keep going Jerry and Congrats to Duke
Other then his choice in women/girls since they werent 18
Why would anyone be surprised that he has "a good head on his shoulders"?
@@GonzoDonzowow you guys never quit. Jerry's been married for decades. Shoshana at that time was old enough to vote, old enough to die in the army, and old enough to be in playboy. I think you're jealous

“There may be times when we are powerless to prevent injustice, but there must never be a time when we fail to protest.” - Elie Wiesel
Growing up with disabilities & limitations I’d work my butt off & I PROUDLY used the support & resources accessible to me. So seeing so many ungrateful & entitled people makes me pissed as hell.

Yes, the loud 5% make a lot of noise, but 95% still believe in the righteousness
Fortunately we are more than 95%.
@@edithdlp8045 - Unfortunately the 5% of fools do too much damage to the others who are naive and easily influenced. The real prob is that the 95% or majority of the population (whatever the numbers are on this) are the silent majority who are the people-pleasing cowardly enablers who sit back and do nothing to stop the immature radicalism.
This is worse in some ways b/c the crimes can't become that much of a social contagion w/out the accomplices and silent enablers or 'flying monkeys' as they're called in psychology. I chose to be a loud and bold centrist instead of a silent, radical enabler so I am not the typical majority. Point being that we must count the sub-categories of all the categories b/c it's more complex than ppl care to know or explain.
Nuance matters and childish thinkers and silly Marxists or hipsters care not much for nuance but fall deeply in love instead w/ their own bias. This is why I refer to them as children b/c they can't think critically and categorically and have not much, if any at all - depth or wisdom which can only come from having significant real life experience which is found OUTSIDE of the Internet and even outside of books!
Mind Begs the Question:
• Labeling a group of people Rats is Fascist
• Labeling a group of people Human Animals is Not Fascist?
The true definition of fascism is binding the individual for the collective. The fascine from Roman times is a group a group of small sticks bound together. Term 'fascism' small 'f' is the extinguishment of the individual for the collective, be it the German National Socialists for the Fatherland, or Soviet Socialism or anywhere else. The small strip that binds the sticks (the individuals) are those small group of elites that convince or seize power from the individuals of the masses, almost always labelled as 'for their own good'. The WOKE movement in America today is fascist, and closer to NAZIs than anyone would admit complete with their now advocacy of Anti-Semetism, complete with the Jewish roots in Mosaic Law which recognizes the individual.@@HumanBeingsRThinkingBeings
Quite the opposite actually
I paid good money to attend one of Seinfeld's stage shows years ago, and these idiots walked out when they had the opportunity to listen to him for free.
Do you even know why they walked out? The man supports the slaughter in Gaza
But you paid for that boring, non-funny nonsense. Whose the idiot? 🤔😂
Walking out of a free Seinfeld gig is smarter than paying to go to one.

I remember 40 years ago a young man from Duke saved my life. He was a remarkable young Man who had worked hard and learned much. To me having a degree from Duke truly does mean something. Without him I most certainly would have died long ago.
A guy who was a clan member of the Satanic temple reminded me about my extended car warranty

For some reason your comment gave me goosebumps. I almost died in a car accident one year ago (two blood clots in my lungs). There's something about near death experiences, that make us really appreciate life. Thought I did before, but more so now.
His name was Oswald Sanchez
Just wonderful! Thank you Jerry... there is nothing wrong with laughing at stupidity, our own and others. Love from a proud Christian, American, Son, Father, Brother, Friend, and Neighbor. Daniel
The last part in this clip of Jerry's remarks are worth taking to heart and listening to over and over. "The only two things you need to pay attention to in life are work and love"
I don't think my boss would like me to just pay attention to the process of work and not the results. Pretty darn sure he wants results.

Thankfulness is underrated.
Too bad Palestinians don't have much to be thankful for these days considering the world's largest military power is supplying weapons to their killers. And Jerry Seinfeld likes it.
What a lovely speech
I hope these young people were encouraged
The 40 who walked out knew he was going to be there and could have opted not to attend if they had an issue with Seinfeld. Instead, they chose to have a public temper tantrum.
What was their issue with him? He has nothing to do with what's going on in the middle east.
@@wizzerwiser2056Um… he’s Jewish. Horrific BS going on out there in the world right now.
@@wizzerwiser2056Doesn't he support Israel, who killed thousands of Palestinian children in the last few months?

@@wizzerwiser2056 BBC - "Seinfeld has been a vocal supporter of Israel since the 7 October Hamas attacks and throughout the course of the war in Gaza. Many of the students at the ceremony stayed to listen to his speech, with several chanting words of support."
That's why - he's cheering on a genocide.
If he had said, “Those of you walking out, have a nice life. Those of you who stayed, I’m canceling your tuition debt.” I would have died laughing.
That would have been a legendary boss move. Great idea!
They're at Duke. Their parents already got that covered.
Well, he didn't. Students wouldn't accept a loan forgiveness from someone who is complicit from genocide. They have more integrity than that.
@@mervunit All the more reason to make the offer. 🤑
Meh, they went to Duke. Either their parents paid for it all or they'll have a cushy job to pay it off relatively easily.
I have been a fan of Jerry Seinfeld for a long time, not only for his remarkable, relatable humor, but recognizing our common education and growing up times in Queens and nearby areas. His voice is a voice of reason, he wisely provided those graduates with words that today’s youth HAS to hear and take to heart. Well done! And Congratulations, Graduates!🎓
And you were aware of his affinity for the idf and enjoying the lawn mowing?
GO JERRY. ABSOLUTELY FABULOUS !!!
great speech...so practical and true to life
Quality speech
I can tell you why their embarrassed about Harvard, it's because just every bad idea in the last 50 years originated in an ivy league college.

Thay'rz you have it. The downfall of America proceeds apace.
And i tought i couldn't like even more of Seinfeld. Go Jerry, THE REAL WORLD IS WITH YOU
What a great speaker!
Embarrassed about things we should be proud of and proud of things we should be embarrassed about.
Today’s society
Seinfeld should be embarrassed that he groomed a 17 year old.
(Today’s society) which bits?
Allowing biological men in a dress to compete against biological women --- 2040: OMG, we were so stupid back then.
The more people like Jerry stand up and hold a mirror up to people's idiocy the better off we will all be... this is fantastic 👏
That's why we need comedians. They are the court gester who tells the King he has no clothes.

Good advice. Those who stormed out because their hate blinded them missed out completely.
That's why people dropped out. Period.
Jerry is a Boss.
That's gold Jerry, Gold!
Jerry's speech is magical and spot on. No wonder why his tv series was a smash hit in the 90s. I would love for him to reunite the cast and continue the show with modern situations \ stupidity. The only two things that you need to pay attention to is work and love; With the experience of the journey that these reveal. I wish people would listen and learn from his speech.
They weren't ashamed of being Harvard graduates. They were being humble. They didn't want to brag. It's called class, Jerry.

Just kind of lose my thought process about trees and branches n sht. (whistling)...
Wokies*
good for you! You just dunked on complete strangers you’ll never know!
hmmmmmmm…. feel that righteousness !
It's not the destination that matters, it's the journey!! Great job Mr Seinfeld 👏
And I would add: "It's a marathon, not a sprint"
Wow, what a great and funny speaker. And yes, work and love, those two are the main important factors of life.
didn't know seinfeld had such depth to offer on the ai question, very impressive
That was thee BEST commencement speech I have ever heard. Thank you Jerry Seinfeld for speaking common sense. I honestly never thought I would hear it coming from you.
What a great speech. Seinfeld, you’re a legend
Dr. Seinfeld.
Don't think this guy really understands what Jerry was saying.
Thank you Mr.Rubin for posting this. Amen
I'm embarrassed by all the so-called "students" who walked out of their own commencement. So sad - kids today are so sensitive and they believe their protests make a difference. The only thing they're doing is diluting / harming their own chances of solid employment. I'm a business owner - the younger adults that work at my company are realists, bright, thoughtful, caring and understand the value of hard work and persistency. These kids are just that - KIDS. They spent four years of perhaps their parents' money, of their own money and high school efforts which resulted in scholarships... yet they walk out on their own efforts?!
Seinfeld is SPOT ON when he said: "My point is we're embarrassed about things we should be proud of and proud of things we should be embarrassed about."
They are walking out because Jerry is supporting the genoicide of Palestinians.
So you want realists who don't care about genocide? Your business sounds great..... /sarcasm.
Man, Jerry looks and sounds great for 70! 😂
Disagree.
@@roddyboethius1722Hateful !
@@pamelawoodall5891 hardly.
i mean, he sounds coherent, and wont be running for some political post he isn't qualified for. sounds like he still has all his marbles at 70 years old.
Good enough to date 18 year olds 🤣
I'm 34 and I watch Sienfeld on repeat constantly. I never did as a kid but now that show absolutely kills me.
I'm watching it again, currently. Still hilarious! Top comedy shows, then would today be 'offensive'. 😅
As someone who used to program my vcr to record Seinfeld, friends, and Frazier every Thursday night I am so grateful there was no woke mob back then. We laughed all the time back then. We also didn’t have a mental health crisis back then because children and adults were allowed to enjoy life instead of pushing doom and gloom, racusm and white hote on every single man woman and child.
Spelling on purpose due to censoring
As a Gen-Xer, I saw it on TV every Thursday on NBC as it came out. It was the best night for TV (Friends was also on that night), and Seinfeld is one of the best sitcoms ever created. (Even though it isn't REALLY about nothing...)
Too many shows and movies now are sanitized by these embedded woke teams that screen all the ideas. The dialogue gets watered down to simplistic, unimaginative droning. Just watch Uncle Buck and compare it to Book Club 2 to get an example. We need to bring back true artistic creative expression, because right now it's on life support.
Well looks like the nazis erased my comment. Which is pretty weak when you see what I wrote. I used to set my vcr on Thursdays to record Seinfeld, friends and Frazier. Best night of tv. Had to record it because they were on thirsty Thursdays so I was out clubbing lol
Who the hell would walk out of a Jerry Seinfeld commencement speech?!?!?
Keep it up, Jerry Seinfeld. You bring so much fun and joy to millions of people. Never be intimidated by the sad protesters.
WOW, Just to clarify, I have NEVER EVER been a 'fan' of Jerry Seinfeld but I agree with EVERYTHING he said 100%
Same here. I have not been a fan of Mr. Seinfeld, but this was 100% … dead on. ❤
I've always been a great fan of Seinfeld. Intelligent humour and humouristic intelligence.
My question to you would be "and why haven't you been a fan of Seinfeld? " What he says here is pure Seinfeld, nothing out of the ordinary for him.
Who TF is "NEVER EVER" a fan of Seinfeld?? One of the best shows ever lol
They never appreciated the wisdom of Seinfeld nor the wisdom of the Simpsons because they were perceived as the "other team" and they refused to listen to the other team.
Ivy "education" these days is over-rated.
It is actually harmful. I would rather hire a student who went to a college or technical school that he could afford and his mind isn’t polluted with WOKE ideas
Do you know that Duke is not an ivy?
@@theodoremarakas9899 you don’t think there are staunch conservatives and non-woke centrists coming out of Harvard?
How would you know? It's not like you got in to one.
Conservatism being mad that learning leads to liberal ideals, surprisingly expected. Education does tend to turn people off the dumber ideas
@@theodoremarakas9899you don't hire Jack shit, you work at a gas station for 8 dollars
thanks Jerr... i flunked out of Duke in 1961. My high school English teach said i would last a semester... i nearly did.
Well said Sir!!
very well said Jerry
Was never a fan of Seinfeld in the 90's. I am now.
unfrosted was funnier than expected
Jerry is the goat
So you're virtue signalling with what show you watch? LMAO you're no different than a performative liberal
It's funny to see people virtue signalling with what shows they choose to consume
Dude how didn’t you like Seinfeld back then
This is the best commencement speech I have ever heard.
Seinfeld speaks nothing but the TRUTH!!! 👏🏼💖👏🏼
My son was and is extraordinarily proud of the State College he attended. When your college is named the #1 Party School by Playboy Magazine, being there 5 years for a 4 year degree is an achievement he still brags about.
ASU?
@@Hoodlum728 Chico State
UW- Madison
Sounds like he knew enough to take his time.
"They don't give those D+ to just anybody." Tommy Boy.
"Thanks. What a crowd"
Jerry is AWESOME 😂❤
"The only two things in life are work and love." I would add , knowing who you really are.❤
He is sooo right. When our generations of builders and hardworking individuals are gone, so will their experience and knowledge. The new generation of these people are not being taught how to build a house, they are taught how to put it together from an instruction manual with pre-built parts!
We still build houses you caveman
You make it sound like building a house is a super hard thing. Humanity mastered it 4000 years ago.
@@MrBrock314 as if prefab isn't good for construction also. We still learn thr old ways usually too.
What's the deal with homework? you're not working on your home...
Booooo😅
😂😂😂
All these years I never looked at it that way and now the term just don’t sit right with me man. You got that Seinfeld gene. I’ll spread the word about the term. It just don’t sit right with me no more man.
and whats the deal with cancer?
That’s gold, Jerry! Gold!
I'm so glad he's got the balls tell it like it is
so you like his balls?
I very much grasp the significance of re-airing this inspirational and frank commencement speech by Mr Seinfeld... what I fail to understand, and forgive me if this is out of line... is why we need your input here. I believe they call this 'coat-tailing'. For those unfamiliar.. it is the act of latching oneself onto the successes of others, in an effort to further oneself, when one lacks the credentials or talents to do so themselves. But then.. I suppose this IS the era of 'I Should Be Famous Too So Thank You Internet'.
A great and refreshing speech!! Well done Jerry....
If this upsets them just wait until they see how the real world hits them.
Looking at that silly getup he's wearing, I have to wonder how many times he said "I don't want to be a pirate."
😂😂😂😂😂😂 love this comment!!!!!! 😂😂😂😂
😂 I was waiting for that punchline as well.
Thumbs up for Jerry. Great speaker and "healthy" truth coming from him. Thanks for being sane, Jerry.
Great speech. Underrated.
i love Jerry Seinfeld. I am a conservative.
I love sienfeld the show and himself, and I'm conservative.
And I love Jerry and Im a progressive. You can be one or the other and still be anti-woke
@@peterfisher9286 good on you, but you are the exception on the progressive side. While conservatives being anti-woke is the norm.
You do know he’s a registered Democrat, right? And so is his wife. And remember he is 70, so some of his ideas are from a different generation. Not saying that’s bad, it’s just the way it is.
Not gonna lie, I'd be embarrassed to say I went to Harvard if I went to Harvard.
EDIT: Talking about the Harvard now - not the Harvard 20 years ago. Thought that was pretty self explanatory :D
I am a Harvard graduate and I’m not embarrassed to say so. I also don’t throw it out there in every conversation. if people ask, I tell them. It is, after all, just a school. America has built on the opportunity to succeed and to exceed. Take advantage of the tools that you have earned.
Or Columbia University or the other Wacom”woke “ universities.
Everyone who couldn’t get into Harvard feels the same as you. Which community college did u go to?
@@jaknap1 , how rude and haughty! Just because the person didn’t go to Harvard doesn’t mean they didn’t go to a good university or that they are not smart enough to get into Harvard. Besides, what is wrong with going to a community college or a technical college? What counts is doing something purposeful with your life and being a kind individual.
The unibomber was a Harvard grad, they churn out some winners
Was always a fan of Jerry and today I am even more proud of his fan. Kudos
When a very small percentage of society dictates to the Land of We the People... problems have only just begun.
Jerry, I got to say as a clinical psychologist: YOU NAILED IT ! WORK AND LOVE......energy not end point. Your biggest fan. Dr. Steve FROM U. OF ROCHESTER ! (shout it out loud). Just one thing bro....pickle ball don't score that way :)
pickleball '24 as in 2024, this year, the year they are graduating
“I got to say as a clinical psychologist…” 😂
Ummn, yeah... he won't see your comment
I went to U of R too! Simon School class of 2019!
@AhtuMondello Unfortunately all of us have the privilege of seeing yours....
wow, that was a genuinely inspirational speech, great job Jerry!👍
Thank you Jerry! 🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸
Amen 🙏 I couldn’t agree more with Jerry’s speech
