HOLLYWOOD – With his Netflix comedy film Unfrosted debuting to abysmal reviews, 70-year-old comedian Jerry Seinfeld blames the failure on “extreme left, and PC college campus audiences”, unlike in his heyday, when the teenage girls he dated were fans of his comedy.
The show was funny because Larry David is a cantankerous curmudgeon who’s afflictions just happen to be a hilarious source of comedy material for him to write with. Also, the strength of Seinfeld’s costars let them carry the shows comedic acting and timing.
The show is funny in spite of Seinfeld, not because of him. The fact that he insisted on doing those god-awful stand-up bits on every episode is all the proof you’ll ever need about that.
