When real life generates the shitpost

“What’s wrong with the kkk?”

This guy probably

“What did they ever do to me?”

They only ever lynched black people.

Not that there’s anything wrong with that.

Maybe not the best choice of quotes to end that one with though.
that’s the joke
Yeah but it probably would have gone over better in sARcaStIc case.

Damnit, I’m not ready to not like him.

Oh well, fuck Jerry.

Dating a 17 year old wasn’t enough for you?

Its super creepy, but not illegal (for some reason).

He’s a piece of shit for a lot of other reasons than trying to out diCaprio someone.

Legality doesn’t define my morals. That shit is disgusting.
Didn’t he say some other racist shit against black people a few years ago too?
I thought that was the Cramer guy.
It was Cramer during a standup gig. But even on the Letterman show to bring Michael on and apologize, you could tell he completely sympathized with him saying something like being heckled could just get you out of sorts enough to start ripping the n-word.
Wouldn’t surprise me, but I only know of Kramer spewing the N word over and over at a stand-up show
Dude that was like 20 years ago
I had no idea. Clearly I don’t pay any attention to this stuff unless someone here makes a clever post.

He also loves to rant about political correctness being the reason why people don’t find him funny anymore. Young people are just really offended. Definitely not related to him including being only able to make offending jokes. But Jews am I rite? (/s obvs).

Reading his Wikipedia article alone will stay be helpful enough to overcome your affection.

Seinfeld and his family previously drew criticism, travelling to the occupied West Bank in 2018 to participate in an anti-terrorism simulation camp.

In 2025, responding to a social media influencer and ambush activist who said “Free Palestine”, he shook his head and replied “I don’t care about Palestine.”

Thank you, what a shit tard.
Remind me again how many extrajudicial lynchings the Free Palestine movement has performed vs the KKK.
Just don’t ask him to compare the cound of extrajudicial murders on both sides… He might have to face an uncomfortable truth (assuming he doesn’t weasel out of them being extrajudicial murders by describing them in ways that amount to war crimes)

The Free Palestine Movement Seinfield’s referring to is the one with mostly Western students protesting on college campuses, not the Free Palestine Movement located in Lebanon that was involved with armed conflict with Syria too. We have proof of this:

Here’s a quote from this article:

“By saying ‘Free Palestine,’ you’re not admitting what you really think. So it’s actually — compared to the Ku Klux Klan, I’m actually thinking the Klan is actually a little better here, because they can come right out and say, ‘We don’t like Blacks, we don’t like Jews.’ Okay, that’s honest,'" the Chronicle reported Seinfeld said.

The KKK has killed literally thousands of people (mostly black, but some Jews, and whites) source

But apparently according to Jerry here, the KKK gets a pass because “that’s honest”.

Fuck off, Jerry.

Jerry Seinfeld says people who say 'Free Palestine' are worse than the Ku Klux Klan

Jerry Seinfeld said those who use the phrase "Free Palestine" are worse than the Ku Klux Klan during a student event at Duke University meant to honor hostages that are being held in Gaza.

NBC News
Following Seinfeld’s logic, maybe Michael Richards’ popping off with the n-word is a “little better here” than Jerry’s dishonest insinuation that the Fee Palestine demonstrators are all antisemitic.

Well, every hamas child they feed and eveey zionist they make uncomfortable ny showing it pictures if its actions is so much worse than a murder

So, you know.

MRRRREOW MEOW 😡😡😾😾
Brain rot from spending too much time around the Israeli Jewish elite in NYC. Extreme terrorists will warp the perspective of anyone who falls into their purview.
Oh! I wondered how he went so far off the rails. Not like he was a fine man to begin with, but this quote is fucking absurd.
Go back to grooming underage girls you Zionist filth
Or… you know… don’t do that either…
Wouldn’t it be nice to live in his tiny little bubble?
jesus christ
is who the KKK praises
which is ironic because he was an arab jew
was?
Jesus is dead, has been for quite some time

Every single Zionist excuse falls apart as soon as you apply it to Zionists.

An example: Zionists are a little worse than the KKK because at least the KKK are honest about their Islamophobia.

This trick really does work on all their talking points.

[Insert name here] says Michael Richards is ‘actually a little better’ than Jerry Seinfeld

To be fair to Michael Richards, it does sound like he was remorseful of that incident 20 years ago,

Richards will also discuss the night in 2006 that he shouted racial slurs at two hecklers during one of his standup acts that led to him largely pulling out of public life and “drove him to a lifelong spiritual quest, one that would help him move forward from apology and accountability to a greater appreciation for our shared humanity, a quest that continues to this day almost eighteen years later,” according to publisher Permuted Press.

And he writes that his “personal work” paid off, as he’s now at peace; he no longer seeks the limelight, nor does he miss the limelight.

It seems to me, Michael Richards knew he fucked up, bowed out, and took the L.

Jerry Seinfiled, on the other hand. I would be shocked if ever he stated “Yeah, turns out. I was wrong. Free Palestine is not worse than the KKK. Israel was committing genocide.”

'Seinfeld' star Michael Richards addresses outburst that led to 'lifelong spiritual quest'

Michael Richards, who played Kramer on "Seinfeld," said the cast was "so interrelated" and their rapport motivated them to "unfold greatness" during the nine-season show.

Fox News
I wonder (not really, I don’t give a damn) what his thoughts are on genocide.
Jerry Seinfeld grooms minors
Didn't think his show was funny then.
Didn't bother watching his Netflix show.
And he's still not funny now.

Seinfeld was the funniest thing I’d ever seen when it was on originally. I’ve watched reruns of it in recent years and it just drags terribly. The difference? I was smoking shit tons of weed back in the '90s.

The one episode that was truly transcendently funny was the one where Jerry and George come back to JFK airport after being in LA and they can’t find a cab, so they decide to pretend to be the people on the card held up by a limo driver so they can get a free ride back into the city. The two people on the card turn out to be white supremacists (ironically!) on their way to a rally at Madison Square Garden. The thing is, this episode was basically just Curb Your Enthusiasm.

So what’s the deal with all the dead children
Laughtrack
🎸
Miss conception. It was actually a synth
Like Decker?
Deckard is a replicant. You’re thinking of Yamaha.
No, that was Axiom.
it still is a funky wah bass line

The laughtrack is almost more offensive than the whole supporting mass murder thing.

I liked Seinfeld the show, but Jerry was never really who made it funny. His only party trick was sarcastic observations. Guess what, been doing the same all my life, even got beat up over it in middle school. More than once.

George being neurotic, Kramer being Kramer and Elaine getting into trouble at her jobs was funny.

I meant it to be a morose lay up on the parent comment which is also really dark.
George was by far the funniest of the four main characters … and he was basically just playing Larry David.
Who cares what this asshole thinks. He’s an actor.
I remember when Brad Pitt did 7 Years In Tibet. A reporter asked him his thoughts on China invading Tibet. He replied,“Why are you asking me? I’m an actor.”
