I don’t recall Seinfeld ever doing political comedy.
RE: I don’t recall Seinfeld ever doing political comedy.
Seinfeld specializes in observational comedy, and that’s the genius of his craft. He looks at little “nothings” in life and makes fun of them. And guess what? THEY WORK !!
They did the “Puerto Rican Day” episode where they accidentally caught the Puerto Rican flag on fire and started a riot. Great episode, but I think that due to complaints from offended Puerto Ricans (which actually plays into the joke), that episode is often skipped in syndication.
Just saw his act at Caesar’s Palace a couple of weeks ago. Zero politics, and funny as hell!
Best comedy on Netflix
“Jerry Before Seinfeld”
