Kramer's a racist

Metal Vendetta · Post by **Metal Vendetta** » Tue Nov 21, 2006 4:03 pm

It's all over youTube here and here. Unbelievably, he's turned out to be even less funny than the steaming pile of cack that was Seinfeld.

...

Actually scratch that, screaming "he's a nigger!" at a black man in front of a room full of totally unsympathetic people is far funnier than Seinfeld ever was.

Not in the slightest.

I wish I could go back in time and tell myself not to bother watching it, I could have done something more useful with those hours.

Like watching repeats of Keeping Up Appearances with my head in a bucket of diarrhoea, or cutting off my own feet.

I thought Seinfeld was quite funny.

This incident is pretty sad, though. Considering he's been in comedy for decades, I doubt the whole "Heckler just got under my skin" thing.

Looks like a career ender to me. I don't want to believe that Michael Richards is a racist, but if it quacks like a duck.....

I loved the response of "That was uncalled for you cracker ass white boy"

He is not a racist. He insulted one black man who continually interrupted his performance. He said nothing hinting that he found the entire African race to be inferior to white people.

Seinfeld (the show) is brilliant.
IMO it's the best comedy show ever.

And the phrase "that's what happens when you interrupt the white man".

I'm standing by my assertion that Seinfeld was tedious bollocks.

I don't care how angry you get, telling a black man that fifty years ago he would be hanging upside down with a fork in his ass like he's now somehow privileged not to be in such a precarious situation reeks of racism.

It's not the "nigger" comments that give him away, IMO. It's the "Hey, be thankful we allowed you to be here instead of hanging you from a tree" attitude.

Can someone please define the word "nigger" for me? Every time I look for one, I get this:

It's a negative word for black people.

It's a word that insults black people.

I never get a definition.

Seinfeld is absolute ****, I still cant fathom what people ever saw in it...

Man hands, the virgin, the soup nazi, the close talker, the low talker, the packidermy (?), drakes coffee cake, Newman, Babu, serenity now, the pirate shirt, Peterman, Puddy, Bubble boy, Joe Davola, Slippery Pete, etc.

It's filled with memorable characters.
It has no stupid love storys what so ever.
It's the most "realistic" comedy show that I know of (compared to how I live my life).
There are no moral cookies shoved down your throat.

I love it - and I think it's totally brilliant.

Gonna have to disagree with you there, Ob.

I just read a few scripts over at http://www.seinfeldscripts.com/ in case I was being overly harsh, but no, they are as dull as dishwater. And I find Seinfeld himself to be one of the most irritating characters on television. And that wanky stand-up bit at the start of each episode...

...I can't go on, this is the most depressing and boring television I've ever seen. If your life is really like that then, well, the chances of me ever moving to Malmo just dropped to zero.

Well I can only speak for myself, but a day in my life isn't complete unless started with a smug stand-up routine thematically connected to what's about to happen.

Someone just did a picture of George from Seinfeld (with a huge comedy penis) over on b3ta, and I replied with "Seinfeld is sh*t".

So far, a few minutes later, I have five replies agreeing with me (although one did admit to not having seen it).

So, yes, I'm not alone, there are people who hate Seinfeld.

Promote something enough here in the US, and you can make **** smell like roses.

Metal Vendetta · Post by **Metal Vendetta** » Thu Nov 23, 2006 4:13 pm

Haha! The guy who posted the George picture just called me a gentile infidel and an anti-semite for not liking Seinfeld!

...

It was also pointed out how truly awful that slap bass is that they use to signpost the funny bits (but only after telegraphing them well in advance). Take away the slap bass and how would anyone know it was a comedy?

Professor Smooth · Post by **Professor Smooth** » Thu Nov 23, 2006 4:35 pm

Is Seinfeld jewish? Not that it matters, it's just that the "gentile infidel" thing doesn't make a whole lot of sense otherwise.

Actually, I think most of the cast is Jewish. Seinfeld, Kramer, and George are all Jewish actors, I believe.

Shanti418 · Post by **Shanti418** » Sat Nov 25, 2006 1:21 am

Seinfeld and George are Jewish, but Kramer isn't.

Speaking of Jewish guys, remember that episode where Elaine had shiksappeal over the Jewish guys? That was funny.

I just read an interview somewhere by Kramer's agent, Rubenstein, who said Kramer has made anti-Semetic appearing comments in the past, but only in jest as he himself is Jewish.
