Jerry Seinfeld: I still think about this 1993 heckler 

the host did an amazing job

But a lot who do it better

its the passion

@@tvviewer4500 I noticed Jerry over uses his yelling voice now compared to when he was younger. I used to like his more mellow observing standup where he used it sparingly for more effect

Agreed. But, listening to Louis C.K. explain his approach, for me, is equally riveting. The roundtable conversation with both, plus Rock and Ricky Gervais is outstanding.

Me, too. And it's ironic how serious he is when he talks about his comedy.

Lmao. Good one

He sure did. I know it 😂

Great listener

What stuff have you written? I'll check it out.

I think this is true of pretty much any art form or sport or really anything worth doing or seeing. It takes a lot of time and effort to become good at something. Natural talent only carries one so far. I can see Jerry's point that it's probably easy for the average audience member to scoff at that idea with comedy since comedy is such an irreverent thing but the best comics definitely do work extremely hard to perfect their material and get the rhythms down and everything. Just because it seems silly doesn't mean they haven't worked super hard on it.

😂

Yo same!!!! I don't get it!

Well he is competing with both tiktok and pornhub, I think given the market his subscriber number is impressive

Cause he's a tool.

​​@@GrahamBensingerclosed mouth doesn't get fed you gotta ask these zombies or they won't

Gold….

Epic.

Yes! The host needs to do something about those sideburns 😂

Looks more like Jimmy... Don't touch Jimmy!

@@Hello.Newman👋

I can think of seeing Norm MacDonald and it went well, a few bits were winners and a few were funny but just not much or just didn't land so well. When the proper recorded special came out it was what would have been about 16 shows later on the tour. (in other words, we were like a first on tour and the special filmed the end of the tour). Yes, now almost everything was the same bits, topics, I think the order of bits, the 'opener/closer' was the same order BUT you could sure see how much better it was. Some bits were the same but a few less words in the 'set up' while a few words and grammar tweaks on the punchline. Maybe another bit had 2 full sentences removed and then some kind of 'callback' or tag on the end. As you noted, sometimes it was just a bit of 'cadence'. One bit was done in faster stepping than we'd seen and it was just better and funnier that way even though nearly word-for-word the same.

😂

Cause it wasn't funny lol

Does he not understand that people play poker for the competition? Especially when it's a game with your friends. He's talking about it as if it's just a game of chance. No wonder it bombed. It doesn't make sense.

well he wasn't delivering it, he was explaining it, different thing. He realizes that exposing it IN the interview destroys the joke anyway, so he knows that ship has sailed. It probably only works delicately anyway, and not with everyone, but like he said, he fought for it because he was stubborn. I can see that. If Seinfeld can take you into his head for the length of a set, he can probably get you there. He can get you slap happy. And he can use a certain joke to maneuver in a transition, highs and lows.

Dad said never explain a joke

😂😂😂

He should tell that to Larry David and Larry Charles who are the actual writers. Jerry was in the room while they wrote. Once David left, the show jumped the shark in the matter of a week.

Graham isn't going to even read this comment, let alone subsequently get a hold of Jerry just for you and pass along your words. 🙄😅

Ah, that's a shame

​@maxmeier532 That's a matter of opinion. The show changed, but was still funny. Just more, well, bizarro.

Yes, but it was also cringe to hear him compare it to working in an ER or being part of an elite group of Navy Seals 😂

​@@eatabowlofshitforreal lol. Navy seals and doctors can be funny or even comedians for example Ken Jeong. But throw a comedian in the ER or try ro be a Navy seal and it's just not happening. So to compare is goofy

lol two ingredients to really get it to hit

Was he describing himself?

@@motorbreath22 no he said a long time ago he started a bit and a heckler yelled HEARD IT, described it as mean and true lol

In my opinion Larry David was a genius and he has made Seinfeld show funny not Jerry..

oh let's be honest - his stand up has always sucked. The show made it cause of Larry David

Brian Regan is my all-time favorite who delivers comedy with complete originality

I like his stand up and do not like the show Seinfeld

It took him years 😂 and that’s the result? Jesus Christ that was painful.

That looks like a marble table top. You think it needs coasters?

@@atomicsmithhaha, not at all. There is just a Curb Episode about coasters

They don't respect wood. They could at least have placed a coffee table book on the coffee table.

@@KTK44 the you've got your coaster right there

Lmfao the bit on curb with Richard’s and jb smooth was gold Jerry! GOLD!

But the rest of us did. They were money-grubbing losers.

Well, true..and it makes sense as he's probably not worried about competition at this point :D

I saw him a while back and I could see him before he walked out on stage because I was on the side. He looked like he was psyching himself up even after all the years he has done this.

I always notice that head wobble lol

It's almost Indian.

Came to the comments for this…was thinking the exact same thing

It’s a neurological condition.

I agree. Huge fan, but this is the biggest difference in his look I've ever seen compared to the last time I saw him. I think a big part is that maybe there wasn't a professional makeup person there prior to the start. He looks like he got out of bed and didn't shower almost.

@@pawelallable ha yeah. Love Jerry though.

Unlike everyone else.

Same

@@garywagner2466 Not me. I'm still the same age. Only other people change. I'll never die. Not me.

it really isnt funny. the subtle observational stuff was cute 35 years ago. It aint even true. there is tons of people who a)play poker with friends for no money, b)play poker with friends for little amounts of money that are meaningless to them or c)people who play with strangers for money. His angle is arbitrary and just a tiny insight. You can hate poker, no problem. But it involves competition, gambling, pyschology, math and mental endurance. Those are all factors that a lot of people enjoy. I would argue being a stand up involves a lot of that. You compete with others to get spots, it's a gamble if you can ever make a living from it, you have to endure the ups and downs, and obviously you need to be able to come up with smart ideas that you develop into a bit.

No one cares about your poems, dude. No one.

Thick and lustrous hair is very important to me.

If you stick your hand in the hair, would it be easy to get it out ?

​@@Trotter2320Do you want your hand to easily come out?

@@Trotter2320 I think you'll get it out.

The Hair Team for Men!!!

Why dont you go back to sleep and keep your thoughts to yourself

Its because he laughs a lot...laughter is truly the best medicine. Ive known really grumpy people in my life and they dont grow old well.

@@jonvia no they don't you're right. I hope laughing keeps me young because it's certainly been keeping me sane! Truly is best medicine, absolutely

Transcendental meditation?

Transcendental meditation

He also is wearing a piece or had some hair transplant.

I'm sure you didn't mistake military for it, the embarrassing way he did

Hmm what do you mean?

"Write a joke about poker in the style of Jerry Seinfeld."

This was my slogan for life and it once made me join a motorcycle gang. I thought I had found kindred spirits. But the bikes were so loud I had misheard. They were saying "Ride or die." Still feel really stupid about that one.

That looks like a marble table top, and if you look a little closer you’ll notice that IT DOESN’T BELONG TO YOU. Worry about something better.

@@atomicsmithhey gtfo, no coasters is awful.

I think we all know why Jerry doesn’t use a coaster

They don’t respect wood. 😂

Do you respect wood? -LD

Potentially yeah

But didn’t his appearances lead to a successful sitcom which is hardly a fail. 🤷🏻

Your desperate attempt at comedy has failed yet again--now that's funny!

do share it...maybe we can help you with a tag or something :)

Heard it.

All that children's blood

This is a clip from 93

@@klobberdude - most certainly is not. He discusses a heckler from a show in 1993, though.

@@MrJayehawk My mistake. Wasn't just the title though. I think I've seen him before this where he looked older. Appologies.

Remember when Chosen Jerry was 40yo dating a minor openly? Pepperidge Farm remembers.

I didn't find what little he said about it interesting

😳

i know right LOL imagine thinking being a comedian is the same as an ER doctor or SEAL team dude. what an insane thing to say

@@basimbaig he was only referencing the intense "not knowing what's coming next" aspects

in no way was he equating his importance with those people - he's simply saying that it's dealing with things in the moment.

@@stevencramsie9172 Yeah it’s so much like a mission and not knowing it you are coming back. I hear you.

@@MrJayehawk Sure babe, he doesn’t think he is “next level.” Where do people like you come from? Never mind!

Because he compared being a comedian to being in seal team 6

Thank you!!

You must not watch many of his interviews if you think he doesn't act like a total ass. He's the least down-to-earth "celeb" I've ever seen. He comes off less arrogant than usual in this interview, and he compared himself to a Navy Seal.

Bordering the philosophical matters of life with humour is his genius. His jokes are very deep and layered and I find relevance in it out of the blue sometimes - President Manzurul Islam

​@@andrew66862 why are you here? is the obvious question. We'd all love to know, why you're here Watching, and Commenting on "the least down to earth celebrity you know."

@@stevepeterson5943 I didn't say I don't respect his work. Do you think people you find distasteful have nothing of value to teach you? Quit your pearl-clutching. Try exposing yourself to something you disagree with. That's where growth comes from.

He js also his own favorite celebrity

It's the secret to his success..

I couldn't either.

He’s delusional

He didn't. He said that both persons have adrenaline. Do you think your body produces different kinds of adrenaline? Do you know that the #1 fear is speaking in front of a group of ppl? And the 2nd biggest fear is death?

@@jomojojo6603 Thats not what he said at all

Try standing on a stage in front of thousands of people and being funny for an hour and lemme know if that makes your adrenaline rise

To be fair he was clearly joking around lol if you were to ask him in all honesty he would laugh and say obviously it’s not being a navy seal. You literal fool.

He's just talking about adrenaline flow type stuff. Relax.🤦‍♂️

He doesn't look or act 70, let him celebrate it

He’s not trolling for praise but, as a 70yo myself, it’s mostly a degree of surprise & gratitude that I’ve hit that milestone. Recall as a 20-something thinking 50 was the beginning of ‘old age’… now it’s 75.

The funny thing is I read this post in Jerry's voice.

I hear ya, but look at the weird arms on those chairs. You either have to squish into it, or rest your arms way up high. Try to sit like that and move normal. Check it out . . .

To be fair that would kill

@@notquitehim Imagine yelling "heard it" at an ACDC concert, you'd be trampled.

Heckling is as old as comedy itself. It's part of the culture of comedy and if you can't handle some heckling as a stand up comedian, then you're not a real comedian at all.

@@OTR392 We're debating the quality

@@truthlifefishing1730 So am i.

You didn't listen. Just because he writes material every day, doesn't mean he keeps it. The purpose of writing everyday is to exercise the muscle. But he's never claimed that the material he writes every day is good enough to use. He will write it down, find the best parts, then work on it. Sometimes for years. This is actually normal for comedians. Go listen to Norm McDonald talking about writing comedy. He says the same thing - he works on a bit for a VERY LONG TIME.

@@zoeherriot oh ok thanks. Just saying for the amount of writing and work he does he doesn't come up with that much material compared to someone like Louis CK

@@chrisbrown2211I agree with you, he should have had more sets on record for us to hear as prolific as he is. I remember when Chris Rock was putting out a banger every year or so for a while there.

@@morganneher8643 I've seen Jerry 3 times years apart and the set was almost the same each time.

He is probably the most propped up “comedian” or celebrity we have out there. His body of work is the thinnest yet he is the most wealthiest comedian out there. How is that? The only thing he speaks of is that stupid sitcom of his that is not that funny yet it is termed as “the greatest show in the history of Television”. My RU-vid feed in the last few days is full of these interviews I guess to push his new movie. He tries to be so academic about his so called “process of writing jokes”… but with very little output in terms of specials, or works that are new and fresh and really funny.

He's growing hair like Stalin

​@@warrenschwartz5653 which guy?
