Ya know how growing up, our parents called every system a "Nintendo", even if it was clearly a Playstation or a Sega Genesis?
Yeah that's what boomers do with age groups. Anyone younger than them is a "Millenial Zoomer on Youtube's TikTok app"

it's the laugh track that's offensive.
It's a live studio audience in this case. Not that it makes it any less annoying.
Edit: a word
I didn't realize people didn't like Seinfeld. It's a great show.
I would be meh on it if my older brother didn't watch it every single night, rerun after rerun, when we were growing up. It got really old.

I feel like a lot of you assume I'm younger. I'm closer to 50 then I like to admit. I'm just not from the US, maybe that is part of why it didn't click with me.

What‽ I grew up on it and I'm as young as we get. No it's his current stand up that's in poor taste and one night of Kramer's stand-up that's actually offensive

We were the ones watching it when it was first airing. I don't think there was anyone in my highschool that wasn't watching it.

I found it funny but curb your enthusiasm is much better
Curb Your Enthusiasm convinced me Seinfeld was like 95% Jerry riding Larry David's coattails. Jerry is so rarely funny to supposedly be "the guy."

most of my millennial peers were all in on Friends and thought Seinfeld was pretty much only for old people. it had its cultural moment but it was popular because pretty much everyone older than 30 in the 90s loved the show.
Basically people who are around 50/60 now were the ones who truly enjoyed Seinfeld.
I grew up watching Cheers with my dad and had no problem transitioning to Seinfeld when I got older.
It's got a certain East Coast dry sense of humor. Friends is more generically goofy.
I like older shows and I enjoy it. It's definitely from it's time, the humor hasn't aged, but idk where they get the triggered millennials from
They said "not that there's anything wrong with that" about gay people in the 90s. WAY better than most of the shit at the time.

Someone should tell them to definitely stay away from Curb Your Enthusiasm (created and starring the co-creator of Seinfeld). It's like a rated-R version of Seinfeld that has absolutely no boundaries. LOL
Maybe an episode about an minor pursuing Elaine written by someone who's ok with dating a minor when he was 35 should be raising questions. Or when they had an episode pushing Tort reform when they made fun of the woman who was burnt by scolding hot McDonalds coffee.
Seinfield, both the character and person, is just a selfish, unsympathetic person and we're suppose to view the world though. I'm glad he's being called out for his shallow snark. This has been a long time coming.

Kinda amazing that nobody in this whole thread did any research on why seinfeld is offensive... Just reacting to a meme from fox news.
For example... https://www.cbr.com/seinfeld-puerto-rican-day-controversy/
that s an interesting point. I love offensive humor though. anyone know where I can watch this?
edit: lol. nothing offensive there
that was so not offensive it hurt.
Must be the youngest millennials then, this was airing live when I was a kid and apparently I’m a millennial.
