I'll allow that dating a 19-year-old when you are 35 is less bad, but it's not ideal

Jerry Seinfeld saying what he said about Bobcat on his show was terribly classless and petty. He could easily have edited it out, but he didn't because he's a little bitch.

Seinfeld was one of the best stand-up comics of his generation, and his sitcom is a classic.

Bobcat Goldthwait has directed two outstanding comedies, Shakes the Clown and World's Greatest Dad, which is two more than Jerry Seinfeld has ever directed, or probably ever will.

Goldthwait is a very funny stand-up comedian, so Seinfeld calling him unfunny is straight up slander.

I still watch and love “Seinfeld” to this day and will assert that the DNA of that show is at least 80% Larry David judging by Curb and various other things.

I don’t know Bobcat’s comedy super well, but he seems like a genuinely decent and interesting human being with artistic vision while Jerry irl seems awful and like the worst caricature of a rich person.

Bobcat.

The one character that Jerry played vs the one that Bobcat always ended up cast to play = Bobcat in a landslide

six voters jinxed Bobcat: hospitalised with broken ribs & a concussion from a car crash before (not) taping a new special last night.

I gotta be honest, I just kind of assume that Jerry Seinfeld is some sort of living embodiment of "superdickery". Like one day he'll come out to us all and say "I've been behaving like an insufferable asshole for all these years as part of a convoluted and highly implausible scheme to foil an alien invasion!" It makes me feel better, at least.

Strikes against bobcat, IMO:

- sent some super creepo Instagram messages to a very young female comedian friend of mine
- worst goatee in show business
- still asking people to refer to him, in his late 50s, as “Bobcat”

Would you prefer Robertcat?

something more adult like that, or BobLion

why is seinfeld being an asshole such a big topic in yer lives

feel like his unapologetic approach to it is refreshing and ought to have neutralised or countered in advance the usual wetness like

'Unapologetic' isn't so convincing when you spend your time whining about college kids not finding you funny.

I dunno it seems of a piece tbh he complains about lots of things

'Unapologetic' isn't so convincing when you spend your time whining about college kids not finding you funny.

also old men who are obsessed about what college kids think about them tend to have more than a little al capp in them

its def true that both have been 'obsessed' with college kids over the years, in a couple different ways

the only way to decide this important question is to ask jerry seinfeld and bobcat goldthwait to sprint at each other and collide at full speed. whoever makes the most sense at the end wins

The best sitcom ever was Barney Miller.

Goldthwait wins this for the cover of his only (I wonder why) album:
