I just stumbled onto this. I was there. It was one of those vague memories that seems unreal: "Didn't I see Jerry Seinfeld being introduced by Carl Reiner at a club? Didn't he talk about how the candy is kept like jewelry?" I was a college student in West LA with barely two nickels to rub together.
A classic. Frickin guy was brilliant. Deserves his millions. Some of these jokes have been done to death since, but I remember when this came out and they were all new at the time.
Fuckin' Genius - crafted clean comedy better than most. Even in his Closing he incorpates double entendres and setus like, "That's they get away; That's How I'm gonna Get Away." Drops Mic that are so concretely & fluidly delivered, much like Seinfeld's series
as someone in their late 20's stuck in florida most of their life, everytime I hear the jokes about florida they are so painfully true and the existential dread sinks in deeper.
There are many times during this that Jerry's inflections of speech remind me of William Shatner. Never noticed that before, but listen to his pauses, his emphases ... Truly, it's so similar! ... A couple of nice Jewish boys :)
@@JLar-bb5hl "Hey... What's the deeeeeeeal with blasphemy?" *applause and polite laughter *keyboard slap bass *channel changes to Andrew Dice Clay special "So Jesus and Abraham was spit roastin' Mohammed and Abe says: Jesus Christ! Give the guy a reach around and let's get this show on the road. He's starting to bite and I promised to take Isaac on that hiking trip up the mountain this afternoon." *wild applause and feverish protesting from activist groups
A lot of comedy specials from that time had skits like that, and it always sucks. Even Carlin had a bunch of stupid cartoons in his On Campus special. I guess some brain donor at HBO thought people didn't want to watch an hour of uninterrupted stand-up. I don't mind one skit at the beginning, but not in the middle of the damn set!
mexiluvsw people have been saying this since the beginning of time. Kind of like the world is going to end soon. I saw an original twilight zone and the guy banged on a ford model A and said they don’t make em like they used to. Nostalgia is always better remembered than it really was, there’s clinical studies on it
Maybe it's those New York City bagels ....... or perhaps the Philly cheese steaks. I lived within 1 hour of Philly; 1 hour & 20 minutes of New York City. Amusing -- in a middle-of-the-road kind of way! * Cav = L'76; Lawrenceville, NJ! *
I think one time I saw him in East Rockiest on Atlantic Are. In a PORSCHE 911. He looked at I think because I was riding on my BMW BOXER. Maybe he realized that we both used the same engine layout even thou he had 6 cylinders to my 2.
51:00 Check out Jerry's clear preference for cheesy bass driven funk for this 1987 Opening & Closing credits, just like his TV Series Seinfeld had as its Segways & Credits
Who thought to start playing music during his encore? And roll the credits?! Makes it look like he’s going over his time and they’re playing him off smh
