Jerry Seinfeld is a washed up comedian, who cares what his opinions on international geopolitics is???

What's the deal with black people? They're not black, and they're not people.

-Jerry Seinfeld (probably)

Queue clip of Jimmy gervais, telling all of those Hollywood idiots to take their little Grammy and stfu because they know nothing about the real world.

[–] Glytch@lemmy.world 6 points 1 day ago

Add this to his bitching about no one finding him funny anymore when his humor hasn't changed since '86. He's just trying to stave off irrelevance. The last great thing he did was a movie about bestiality (BEEstiality).

Man now I can’t watch Seinfeld anymore? Why people got to do this?

[–] can@sh.itjust.works 6 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day ago)

Yeah you can, just remember Larry David and the other writers who actually made it good.

Edit: and the cast! So many iconic performances.

[–] Viking_Hippie@lemmy.dbzer0.com 9 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day ago)

Because some people are jerks who don't want better people to enjoy life. Especially out of touch billionaires like Seinfeld.

You can watch it, it’s even a little better than Family Guy later seasons.

Jerry has been a salty prick ever since people figured out the writers did all the heavy lifting on his show.

[–] A_Random_Idiot@lemmy.world 9 points 2 days ago (1 children)

probably none to happy that him being a fuckin pedophile became widespread news either.

[–] can@sh.itjust.works 1 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day ago)

No, surprisingly I don't think that bothered him. Otherwise he would not have made this joke.

[–] SoftestSapphic@lemmy.world 60 points 2 days ago (2 children)

Jerry Seinfeld is a pedophile

[–] rayyy@lemmy.world 6 points 1 day ago

Jerry Seinfeld is a pedophile

You don't say.

[–] Bane_Killgrind@lemmy.dbzer0.com 24 points 2 days ago (1 children)

Is this why he's trying to distract us from the Epstein files?

[–] onslaught545@lemmy.zip 11 points 2 days ago

I'd be surprised if he wasn't on the list.

"Just say you hate Jews. Just tie me up and say Jews should die. Spank me and call me an evil little Jew. You know you want to."

"Mr Seinfeld, children are starving."

[–] Deflated0ne@lemmy.world 20 points 2 days ago

Oh look everyone. It's the "airline food" guy who peaked in the 90s. He has a political opinion.

[–] Katana314@lemmy.world 32 points 2 days ago (1 children)

Why do they keep trying to fuzz the terminology?

Zionists and Jews are not the same thing. They have very little in common.

[–] curious_dolphin@slrpnk.net 12 points 2 days ago

Because they're dishonest; unfortunately, it's very effective in shutting down public conversations about what's happening over there.

[–] QuentinCallaghan@sopuli.xyz 220 points 3 days ago (12 children)

If anything good has come of this Israel-Palestine conflict thing, it has been exposing idiots.

Sorry Jerry but I don't hate Jews but I hate the government of Israel

[–] AlexLost@lemmy.world 168 points 3 days ago (7 children)

Says guy who never had to deal with the KKK.

[–] ceenote@lemmy.world 93 points 3 days ago (1 children)

This really calls attention to his overdeveloped sense of victimhood.

Well, the KKK has never burned a cross on his lawn but the Free Palestine movement made him feel bad.

“By saying ‘Free Palestine,’ you’re not admitting what you really think,” said Seinfeld, who publicly embraces his Jewish heritage and has pushed back against critics of Israel.

“Just say you don’t like Jews,” he said in reference to the movement, before comparing its supporters to members of the KKK.

In that spirit, Jerry, maybe you should say what YOU really think. You’re a genocide apologist. Embrace it, instead of putting words in other peoples mouths.

[–] MisterFrog@lemmy.world 2 points 1 day ago

Calling critics of a state and a polity racists is some high level bullshit

Did you criticise the Nazis? Pretty sure that means you hate all modern day Germans /s

Good thing I don’t take advice from pedos who "date" 17-year-olds when they’re 39 😃

what a rubbish human. Fuck you, jerry (I'm not capitalising his name. he doesn't deserve it)

"Finally, a Jerry worse than me!"

[–] canajac@lemmy.ca 18 points 2 days ago

So. after WW2 Jewish people can obliterate an entire population just because they were attacked. boohoohoo What if the USA did the same thing in Vietnam, Korea, Afganistan, Iraq, etc? How is starving civilians to death is this fucking right Israel? You are making yourselves the new German Party of 1933. Netanyahu is the new Hitler. He ignores the international community, just like Hitler, kills innocents and does not admit it, just like Hitler. He kills starving children ffs. How low do you want to go Israel before you become what you've feared for 80 years? It's an international disgrace. Even trump is telling you to stop now, I mean WTF dudes?

[–] BanMe@lemmy.world 23 points 2 days ago (3 children)

Not really related but I'm having the weirdest time because I got on FB for the first time in a decade, and learned an old friend has transitioned and looks to be much happier now, so I'm excited, but their feed is FULL of zionist propaganda and it appears her entire identity is wrapped up in this now, so accepting her request would be a time bomb. Fuck, why everything gotta be this way now.

[–] drolex@sopuli.xyz 12 points 2 days ago

So are you transphobe OR antisemitic? Sorry but you have to pick one

Let's see, so we have

Free Palestine, a group that wants to stop the genocide and promote the freedom of Palestinians being murdered through no result of their own actions beyond simply existing.

The KKK, a group who expressly want to genocide and oppress the freedom of anyone non-white for just simply existing.

Jerry, you're telling on yourself here a bit

Jerry Seinfeld has always been a pompous piece of shit. Fuck him and his unfunny horsefaced “comedy”.

Oh, and he fucked a teenager at the height of his show. Release the files.

He's always come off as a smug arrogant douche and he doesn't change this first impression the more he opens his mouth,

[–] the_q@lemmy.zip 31 points 3 days ago

What's the deal with Israel, pedos and billionaires?

[–] ValarieLenin@midwest.social 29 points 3 days ago (1 children)

To be fair that is an absurdly funny statement, it's just a shame that he wasn't joking...
