Seinfeld’s Comedy is Never in the Gutter (Because of Practice)
What’s the difference between the 20th century and the 21st century?
One of the distinctions has been the significant bump in protection. But what kind of protection?
Let’s ask the brilliantly astute Jerry Seinfeld on this “Throwback Thursday” to re-discover a form of parenthood through an unforgiving style of bowling from the past. Plus, Jerry Seinfeld delivers a 100% battery life-rated synopsis of humans and their real relationships with their smartphones.
It’s something great when you can laugh at a joke and react with the expression, “no joke.” The notion of truth in comedy (book title by Charna Halpern) is expertly proven by Jerry Seinfeld in the video clip above, particularly regarding his supreme punchline for the smartphone battery life.
I bet you’re wondering where your charger is right now…
The legendary stand-up comic has a reputation for talking about nothing; turns out he knows a lot about everything.
And that’s the truth.
Happy Monday
Mondays are like having lunch in a diner…
The weekend is over and the beginning of the workweek has arrived. The past couple days, filled with fun in the sun in beautiful summer weather, have been written into the history books. And re-acclimating back to our jobs can take a little time to process.
For some people, there’s serious reluctance to acknowledge this reality. If only there was a way to visually explain this struggle with a couple brilliant comedic minds.
In the scene below, consider Richard Lewis to represent Monday and Jerry Seinfeld and Larry David to represent most of us.
Maybe the reason why Mondays can be a little grumpier than most days is because of hunger.
Hunger for just a bit of the courtesy (and delicious food) we show and share with its close friends Sunday and Tuesday.
Have a Better Week Than Last Week.
Happy Monday
With the stress of the impending workweek upon us, the best reaction just may be a little comedic relief.
We all know those famous drama and comedy masks and how they go together so well with life’s various situations. And, with that, Jimmy’s Daily Planet presents Jerry Seinfeld’s take on people (ie- us) to kick-off this workweek.
Is Jerry Seinfeld the master of observing nothing or everything?

Comedy’s Cultural Correctness
The next chapter against “PC” is being written and acted out.
Hopefully, more people will speak out so life will resume to being funny when things are funny.
Today, in its most recent form, PC (political correctness) has been taken to new levels of absurdness by the college generation of sensitive ears and paper-thin sensibilities. It’s ridiculous. We can’t say anything about anything or anybody. It’s that bad. Most of the time, it’s just jokes. Fortunately, Jerry Seinfeld, Jay Leno, Colin Quinn, Amy Schumer and others have taken a stand recently to remind this delusional generation that we are allowed to say what’s on our mind and to do so is quite normal.
In America, there’s this notion of free speech. It’s incredibly valuable in our society, as well as in our continuous development as human beings.

Whether you like him or not, that’s the fundamental appeal of Donald Trump. Regardless of what he’s saying, people are attracted to his rebellious attitude against scripted, bland, focus group-approved opinions and reactions.
As comedian Bill Burr pointed out last week on Conan, we can’t even be mildly observant anymore.
If only George Carlin was alive to tackle this resurgent cultural problem.
He’d certainly have more than 7-words to say to today’s PC Police…
