Normally when people identify all the "P.C. crap" that Seinfeld complains about as coming from the "extreme left" I figure it's because they've gone so far to the right that from way out there Bill Gates looks like a communist. But it's tempting to give Seinfeld the benefit of the doubt and assume that he might just be confused and ill-informed. The same refusal to accept reality that leaves him unable to let go of the urge to put a llama with a human head in his movie about Pop-Tarts may also have been sufficient to prevent him learning anything at all about politics for the past 30 years.
I think you're right that he is* just out of touch and doesn't know what he's talking about.
Oh my God, I forgot about that Pop-Tart movie.
E: He is out of touch, not you.
Wait is this an AI hallucination or is there really a pop tart movie?
Apparently it comes out this weekend on Netflix.
Oh god. I see. He is making a bold and idiotic statement to get people talking since he has a new movie coming out.
At least he’s not playing a talking pop tart which is what I envisioned.
Still, here we are, talking about him. Ugh.
Yup, a guy who has a comedy movie coming out is whining about not being able to make comedy.
That's very on brand for him
I was going to give it a chance because Jim Gaffigan is in it and he is still funny, but I saw Seinfeld wrote it and said forget it.
Oblong nibblers
Only real Jerry Seinfeld fans will get this reference!
The trailer wasn't bad, but it made me feel like I've seen the movie.
The trailer seemed like somebody took a single diner conversation between George and Jerry and made an entire movie about it. It didn't look terrible I guess, but I think it's going to drag at anything over 100 minutes, and probably well before that.
Pretty much what I meant. It wasn't bad, it just didn't make me interested at all.
