Jerry Seinfeld is the definition of “Old Man yells at Cloud” (but with more dating 17 year olds)
check the comments of the YMH review, tons of people defending him, i no longer have faith in humanity.
@@vincemastaTRIPLE69420what’s YMH?
@@theburgerking746YMS i meant, i get them mixed up.
@@vincemastaTRIPLE69420What is YMS cause I don't know what it is.
I mean come on it's not rocket science she's 17 Jerry
Most of these washed up comedians don't know the difference between being 'canceled' and people just not being interested so they're tuning out.
EXACT-LY
Remember Jerry Seinfeld said comedy is dead because people didn't really laugh at his "gay French king" joke.
He ASSUMED people didn't laugh at his joke because it was about a gay person, when in reality the joke just wasn't funny.
yeah honestly most people are just bored, rather than offended. i mean "when someone scrolls through their phone they look like a gay french king". that was the punchline. that was the whole bit. okay.
This reeks of desperation. So many celebrities try and bring attention to themselves by saying
“haha omg I’m just SO crazy. I’ll say anything! And you’d better bet your bottom dollar I don’t care what THEY Think! Haha!”
"I don't care what people thing and you're such losers for thinking I do but also why are people not laughing at my jokes you're too sensitive you just need to lighten up!"
Little known fact: the original pop tart frosting was going to be blue, and the collecting the tarts after frosting them was called the blue harvest, which was also the working title of the original Star Wars movie, which was also the working title of the original third Star Wars movie.
I see you and I appreciate you.
I also see you and appreciate you
Well thanks a lot. Now I'm having a stroke
a lot of things are blue.
Now this is comedy 🎭
Jerry Seinfeld has always seemed to me like the type to yell “Don’t you know who I am?!” if someone ever says he can’t do or get something.
Love the show, but yeah definitely
He infamously did indeed do that during a Larry king interview
He did that to Larry King actually. King incorrectly said Seinfeld had gotten canceled and he berated him for it. Jerry did have a right to do that, but yeah I could see him do that when in the wrong.
Actually he did, when he screamed comedy was dead over his stupid joke.
he is
yelling back “a pedo” would be funny
"Seinfeld wanted Unfrosted to be the anti-Barbie." Soooo .... No message, no colours, no humour, and not making millions? My goodness, l think he succeeded.
Not all movies need messages
@@mikelacy7344 That's why they flop
@@mikelacy7344 "Not all movies need messages"
7:54 Weird: The Al Yankovic Story (2022) doesn't have a message either, but it has jokes. Unfrosted seems to have neither.
what color because it has some color.
@@Rage_Harder_Then_Relax Not all movies without messages flop. The John Wick movies don’t have messages and they made a lot of money.
I think he said it as a dog whistle for boomers. "They're trying to cancel Seinfeld?! Well now we have to watch it!" There is an opposing force to the woke/pc culture, and they themselves are fools who will watch whatever is said to be anti-woke. So Seinfeld seeing the movie didn't turn out great, probably drummed up the controversy to get some viewers of that ilk to watch his movie.
They themselves? They/themselves?

This reminds me of Don Rickles in his final years, the type of humor he was known for was fading out. Only difference is Rickles could still pull off some laughs even then. Seinfeld thinks he’s too good and we owe him to laugh at his ‘jokes’
he was funny jerry isnt
Rickles is timeless, his videos still get rewatched like crazy online

@@dannylopez5052 fallon sucks
Seinfeld has, sadly, become one of those folks who believe they deserve adoration. And also that any negative reaction to their work is due to their being "cancelled by the woke crowd" when, in fact, it's just BAD.
I mean, you can't even tell a joke anymore. That's why there have only been hundreds of standup specials on TV and streaming in the last few years, along with all the popular shows and movies. Nothing like that magical time in the past. Like back in the year of... um. Well, it's not like anyone was banned, canceled, or literally arrested... oh. Still, it's wrong to cancel people like Michelle Wolf, Kathy Griffin, Pete Davidson that one time, the Dixie Chicks, sexy sexy M&Ms... oh. Hm. 🤔
When I think of edgy comedians, Jerry Seinfeld is the first to come to mind. He really rocked the 90's with his "what's the deal with.." bit. He's so brave.
Omg the conceit of Seinfeld running a single joke into the ground so hard they had to make a movie out of it is a virtually perfect summation of his whole ouvre
5:34 "What's the deal with beating a dead horse?"
The irony being that sienfeld’s standup is the cleanest most sanitised type of comedy out there
Right at the beginning I was sure James was about to say “I wish…I wish…I wish I could wish away my feelings.”
I get annoyed with how he thinks he's like the godfather of comedy. He hasn't done anything with considerable cultural impact since Seinfeld
Hang on, Gen Z loves memeing the Bee Movie.
Right, Seinfeld which destroyed the sitcom as a genre so that every series since then has existed in a post-sitcom world. No godfathering comedy there. It’s Always Sunny definitely doesn’t live in the shadow of Seinfeld.
Bee Movie
I ended watching the whole run of Seinfeld. I noticed a couple things. #1 his stand up was always the worst part of the episode and they stopped doing it after season 2 if I'm not mistaken. #2 He cannot act to save his life. The characters all revolve around him and he plays the straight man, because he can't act at all. It works for the show, but there is a reason he didn't show up in anything else.
What's the deal with all this woke culture....
The stand up did not stop after season 2. Even the last gag in the entire joke is a stand up. They just sometimes do other credit gags insted of stand up. I think Season 8 is the only with no stand up bit (maybe also season 7).
@@bebo2629
It's been a long time since I saw it. Maybe I just started skipping it and remember differently.
Seinfeld is the worst part of Seinfeld, jerry is a funny writer, he just thinks he’s a jack of all trades in comedy like Larry.
@@bebo2629 IIRC the stand-up bits became les and less frequent as the series went on because the plot of the episodes became more elaborate. The original idea for the series was to show how a stand-up comedian got the material for his act but eventually it became famous for being 'the show about nothing' and showing Jerry performing wasn't needed.
Bang.
I never would have 0:05 thought Seinfeld’s frosted movie would be the thing to make James so impassioned.
Because when rich people say "they can't say anything anymore" they mean "I don't like being criticized and soon people will realize I'm a terrible comedian and maybe a terrible person too". These rich people CAN say anything. They choose not to say anything relevant. They take a shot at gay people or some minority and call it a day. Comedians complaining about cancel culture are just lazy.
I could only make it through about 10 minutes of the movie. But in that short time, I could already imagine Jerry saying, “Hey let’s get a black guy to play the garbage man”
Or “We can’t get Chris Rock to play the ill fated Comedian? No worries we’ll just find another black guy to do it. There’s got to be a million black guys looking for work” 🤷🏽♂️
All predictable fodder from my insipid Boomer Generation.
Of course he wouldn’t have the balls to have Cedric the Entertainer display ANY awareness of Malcolm X or King.
Too “WOKE” 🙄
Jason Alexander was Duckman. They should bring back Duckman
There are two reasons why you haven't seen people share clips of Jerry cutting to the core;
1. Jerry was big before social media was a think.
2. To my knowledge, no such clips exist.
oh james... sweet old james. he reminds me of an aggressive kitten that fights its own reflection on a mirror.
Golf clap for the editors
To be fair, I think Unfrosted was probably better than most give it credit for but it’s also not really worth defending. It’s not even as good as The Founder, which is an okay movie bolstered by a great Michael Keaton performance. What does this have?
I no longer want a Seinfeld reboot or another reunion.
Oh god I knew the Drake reference was coming, nut it still got me
jerry seinfeld on stage says "what's the deal with airplane food?", i yell "that's not even mentioned in marx' kapital!!" and i reee until i pop a vessel. many such cases.
Jerry Seinfeld? Haven't heard of that guy in what feels like 17 years!

Jerry Seinfeld is insanely out of touch with reality
Just like Tyrese Gibson 😊😅😂.
This movie is the complete opposite of barbie: make something out of a famous brand and do nothing with it.
Also shills out way more for their brand.
I just wanna know what the unPC version of the Tang joke was that he had to cut to make it appeal to the woke.
If Ricky Gervais is still getting work and they’re still making South Park, I think offensive comedy is still doing alright. The real reason comedy shows don’t exist anymore is because they’ve all gone streaming, Jerry.
I like how you bring that up I hear few media personalities talk about it realistically he was just lucky sitcoms aren’t allowed to slowly succeed. It’s a pass/fail scenario you’re not granted that opportunity usually. it is; luck, nepotism or both
The problem is comedy isn't leaving... LAZY comedy is leaving. It's not enough to just say something offensive and that's the joke, it's about addressing serious issues with a satirical edge
I just remembered - Jerry Seinfeld flirted with Scientology for a while. No, wait, sorry - I meant 17 year old girl.
Came here to acknowledge how great the title of this is lol
Can anyone actually off the top of their head remember an iconic standup bit from jerry? It seems whenever anyone talks about his standup they just parody his cadence and “what’s the deal with” schtick.
Look, I can't stand Seinfeld and I agree one hundred percent with everything but I do really want a pop tart now.
LOL
“Touched on” 😅
I recently re-watched a bunch of Seinfeld and afterwards its clear Kramer and George are the funniest characters while Jerry and Elaine cant make me laugh at all i wonder if anyone else has noticed that
He wasn't funny then and he isn't funny now. That's the deal with Jerry Seinfeld.
I’d also like to point out that Seinfeld (the show) was given so many years to find its audience was that when it was made NBC cared more about keeping Jerry Seinfeld around than the show’s ratings because they wanted him in their back pocket in case things didn’t work out with Jay Leno taking over the Tonight Show
The word you guys are looking for to describe Seinfeld is “aloof“
That’s his brand.
It’s the character he played on TV and in the movie.
Feigning indifference kinda worked in the 90s, but I was left thinking, if this guy doesn’t care about this film, why on Earth should I? 🤷🏽♂️
The worst thing about Seinfeld was always Jerry Seinfeld. The only credit you could ever give him was that he worked hard. His standup was one-note shite. His acting was terrible. Like really fucking terrible. Everything funny in the writing came from Larry. All the good performances were from the rest of the cast - who were phenomenal. That show barely stands up at all any more, largely because the person it revolves around is just. not. funny.
Pretending that all the good writing came from Larry is really stupid when there was an entire team of writers, including Seinfeld and when he wrote a lot of the dialogue. Larry David also definitely does not agree. The show is also still really funny.
Honest question, when does it get funny? I remember liking it as a kid but I couldn't get past the first few episodes when I tried streaming it recently. Mostly due to Seinfeld himself haha
@@Renoistic For me I'd say season 3 and 4 are when it really hit it's stride but it's been awhile since, I've watched it. I don't think the first season or two is very good but they were still finding their footing and learning how to make TV on a weekly basis.
4:04 errrrr not so much.
If Seinfeld was actually really great, like a true talent, he would have done something significant within, say, 3-5 years after his sitcom ended. I absolutely get the urge to retire at an early age or whatever, but really great comics seem to almost not be able to stop themselves. Like, i listened obsessively to comedy and podcasts and everything all through the 2010s, i was absolutely steeped in the culture, and Seinfeld really never came up in a significant way. He’s clearly not a force, he just got really lucky and rich off the standup craze in the 80s and now people think he’s supposed to be historically relevant in his field
Seinfeld does not really like make movies and TV shows. So stand up is what he really is passionate about. Also the Seinfeld TV show is quite revolutionary, pretending that is all luck is really silly.
This movie is to barbie what the wall review by the nostalgia critic is to the wall
He’s just saying stuff for the sake of it because what you mentioned for Curb and Sunny also applies for Seinfeld. All the core 4 never progress in life really. And if they do it blows up in their face almost immediately.
Everyone in this movie put on the dress,
Katt Williams was warning us
17:38, Hey! I’m Like Hey What’s Up Hello!
The movie felt like Seinfeild's usual comedy routine honestly
What's with the sudden attack on his personal life? It has nothing to do with his comedic work. He had a four year relationship with a consenting adult across a 20 year age gap, and apparently that's grounds to condemn the man. In that case, why aren't these guys equally enraged at Gene Kelly who, around the same time (1990) married a women 47 years younger than himself? Or in the present day with James Woods and Don Mclean, both with partners more than 40 years their junior? Not to mention Nic Cage, Ryan Phillipe, Dane Cook, Mira Sorvino, Sylvester Stallone, (to mention but a tiny few) who have all dated and/or married across similar and even larger age gaps. Keep the outrage consistent, guys, and keep it relevant.
10:45 A reminder that Amy Schumer was originally cast as Barbie - I'm sure that she's absolutely delighted that she got a role in Unfrosted instead.
Is it irony that everyone is reacting to this movie in the same way Jerry Seinfeld reacts to everything?
15 minutes of discovering Seinfeld is neither political nor personal in any overt way. Obviously.
Jerry Seinfeld looks like Alexis Arquette
This comment is just devastating. Who should be more pissed, Jerry or Alexis?
A Jerry Seinfeld movie in 2024 is like a Roman Polanski film coming out during the Me Too movement.
I mean if you watch it’s always sunny these days it is certainly blunted compared to when it was first airing, it’s fair that some things have to change and become either more offensive or now the people who were always offended by those words have a voice to voice how offended they are it does feel like morning TV just doesn’t want to step on anyone’s toes. Meanwhile I’ve always seen those things dated as they are for the sake of comedy. What’s that old saying that either everything can be a joke or nothing can.
You can't come home anymore and watch comedies like Psych or Community or Arrested Development or Brooklyn Nine-Nine or Parks and Rec or 30 Rock or The Good Place or Bob's Burgers or edgy comedies like Always Sunny or Curb Your Enthusiasm or Archer or Rick & Morty...
He didn't even mention *HIS* era, like Seinfeld or Friends or Newsradio or Ned & Stacey or Wings or Will & Grace...
what a tiresome man-child
I have a theory that after he saw his pop tarts movie was dogshit, he reverse engineered it by being all ‘Oh, see what I HAD to make? Because they said no to my edgy stuff?’. Yeah, nice try, Jerry.
I cam proudly say I was never a fan of Sienfeld, the comedian and the show. Something always felt off about the guy.
Jerry Seinfeld is about as edgy as a billiard ball.
Jerry Seinfeld has Hollywood and comedians up his ass soooo far up, that I’m sure all of these actors stepping up for cameos thought this was gonna be hilarious.
lol mr. sunday movies is outraged by vanilla in this epiisode
It's interesting how different your reviews of this nothing movie are compared to the Marvel nothing movies.
[Scene opens] A gentle

What happens when a wealthy out of touch Boomer who never did anything edgy in his life. Decides one day to try to be edgy.
Jerry is an out of touch Boomer who thinks he's a comedian but it's been surrounded by an echo chamber his whole life.
What happens when you put it all on the line to make the most edgy movie ever?
This summer get ready to sit on the edge of your seat because it's the last edge you're ever going to know.
Jerry Seinfeld in Frosted
Flopping out of a theater soon.
maybe i should actually watch all in the family cuz from what i've seen of it... i feel like if a similar show came out today, some people would say it was too woke lol
Jerrys gotten such an ego about himself now. *"aahhh ya just CANT do edgy jokes anymore with how PC people are, thats why I made Poptart to be as lame and stupid as possible"*
Curb your enthusiasm and Always Sunny are undeniable proof edgy still has a place, and Jerry struggles are merely from a lack of creativity. Its not the 90s anymore, you have to try harder than watered down seinfeld bits.
Boomer humor
He was always terrible.
Just like Tyrese Gibson 😊😅😂.
Aunt Jehmaimah shouldve been in the movie lol
No Ballz
I want Vince McMahon of the wwe . Bio pick of Netflix season. As some episodes would be dramatic but like a time he made a cartoon about his own but some episodes could be comedy ..
Seinfeld has, sadly, become one of those folks who believe they deserve adoration. And also complain that the reaction to this movie is because hes being cancelled by the woke crowd. When, in fact, it's just BAD.
I wonder if Jerry is saying all that stuff about "cancel culture" and the "woke left" because his buddy Michael Richards never recovered from his meltdown on stage a couple decades ago.
I mean the dailywire is right there. If he wants to make "antiwoke" comedy, I'm sure they'd be happy to have him, Lord knows they suck at being funny, instead he whined about it and then went and made a bland movie. It's almost like he knew the movie wasn't particularly great and wanted to make an excuse for it? If he wants to be an antiwoke crusader then do it, stop complaining about it, you have all the money in the world, nut up or shut up
Bill Burr was the best part
Bill burr is always the best part in a cameo 😂
Hes old and rich. Thats what wrong with him.
In his personal life he's unlikable
Needs a scapegoat
what long line? the founder years ago barbie and this. Thats not a lot guys.
Jerry is right ..
Yeah but curb your enthusiasm grandfathered in there's no new people getting greenlight on curb.. And by the way curb makes more fun of conservatives

Jerry Seinfeld interview at less than 10k views in a week. Jerry is not funny, never has been but his greatest skill in life is finding and leeching off of legendary actors and writers. Whenever a comedian blames “woke” anything, it’s because no one is laughing at their work. He’s basically demanding that people laugh at his “brilliance,” the height of arrogance.
I had fun with it.
Okay grandpa get back to the retirement home
James is so jealous obviously.
Ive always floated in Anarchist spaces. Im about as far left as it gets. I dont care about offensive jokes. No far leftist does. Idk where this comes from. Were trying to dismantle unjust hierarchy and create egality within the workplace. What part of that does Jerry think is an attack on him. Is it because hes rich so hes technically part of one of those Unjust Hierarchies i mentioned.
It's just a (sadly effective) strategy to gain power and influence. Blaming everything on some strawman.

jerry seinfeld was never funny. george and kramer were funny. larry david is funny. curb is an infinitely better show than seinfeld ever was.
There are some jokes on Seinfeld (the TV-show) that did push some bounderaries and got people offended. I am pretty sure that some people were unhappy wwith the contest episode.
13:40 I can't even fathom dating a person in their TWENTIES, now, let alone in their teens...
What could a forty-year-old possibly have in common with the most narcissistic generation we've ever seen?
"Babe... babe... check out this cool song!"
(scrolls through their own selfies) "mmm... yeah cool... (takes another selfie)... music is like... so inspiring, and whatever..."
I'm good, thanks...
Goldurn kids these days! It's wild how young people are simultaneously criticized for showing too much empathy, and for being narcissistic. It's like people don't know what words mean. 😂 Even in your imaginary example, the great crime of the young person you invented is that they don't immediately pump the brakes on what they're doing, in order to give their undivided attention to whatever YOU happen to be into, in the moment. How DARE they?! 🤣 This is the actual example that you've conceived as your Exhibit A. Congratulations, you've managed to construct an entirely self-centered 'anti-narcissism' argument...you win top prize in unwitting irony.
@@jamesoblivion Why even argue against something that’s so demonstrably true?
Instagram and TikTok didn’t exist when I was that age.. they do now…
It ain’t rocket science, dum dum…
Seinfeld and Bill Maher are both fading into obscurity, they’re just excuses for their demise
People keep taking the Seinfeld quote out of context just like you guys did so I won’t even bother explaining it. But 90% of the shows you guys mentioned as being examples are not sitcoms, they’re dramedies or sketch shows. The list of actual laugh out loud sitcoms made in the last 5 years is tiny. Unfrosted is a bad movie but Seinfeld is right about the lack of funny sitcoms now and why it’s happened.
Clearly, Seinfeld was talking about the different tastes of audiences now and how easily offended he thinks people are.
If it was about the lack of sitcoms only, why bring up the left or whatever.
@@mero7731 Clearly, huh? Based on what? His quote? Or maybe what other people tell you he meant by the quote? Because it's not based on the actual interview. So congrats on being like everyone else and hearing what you want to hear. In context of the interview Seinfeld was specifically talking about sitcoms and how scripts are being handcuffed by executives because they're afraid of offending people thanks to the outcry of PC culture on the left. The part that everyone doesn't hear because it's omitted from the same cut-up video is that he says that more people are going to watch stand-ups now because they don't have to worry about jokes being policed by notes. And, in turn, stand-ups can find out from the audience if they're off track or not. In the interview they also talk about Larry David and Seinfeld says that Larry started before they made these new rules so he doesn't have to observe them. Same can be said for South Park and Always Sunny. But even Sunny has been far tamer the last few seasons compared to the past and there's a bunch of old episodes that are no longer allowed to air. You might smile and agree with a lot of the stories and characters from sitcoms made in the last five years but the overwhelming majority of them are absolutely devoid of real laughs.
I would say sitcoms just went out of style. Also yeah some stuff just isn't cool now because we recognize some stuff hurts people. This isn't new and people always push back against this just because they don't wanna changeq
@@babyyoda4987 The amount of people watching The Office, Seinfeld and Friends reruns would disagree. As would the fact that everyone is falling over themselves in response to what Seinfeld said screaming, "what about Curb and Always Sunny and South Park?!?!?!" But if sitcoms are suddenly out of style now it's because the quality has been so terrible lately. If you want to pretend there's not a reason for that's fine but it's not reality. As far as "some stuff just isn't cool now" I would reference my first point but also stand-up comedy ticket sales have never been higher than they are right now. And the big names contain a lot of what you might call "offensive" jokes. Also, look at the response from last week's Tom Brady roast. It's the biggest special Netflix has ever done. People want to laugh.
Isn't most comedy on the internet now, anyway? There's less classic sitcoms because there's less network television, generally. Streaming services want to diversify their output to satisfy more specific niches, and UA-cam comedy is even more specific than that; I don't think there's truly any hunger for general audience comedies like used to be the draw for broadcast TV.
Oh my God this movie sucked so bad
