And so far I've noticed at least 2-3 jokes that he is repeating from monologues as part of the SEINFELD show. Anyone else watched this special?

Is it just his stand up routine? I never thought his stand up was great tbh.

Mostly just stand up. There are small 30-60 second spots breaking his standup where he talks about his life and growing.

I liked his sitcom stand up but never really heard much of his real stand up to judge.

i agree i thought carlin had better standup. seinfeld's stand up was only avg. imo. What about lisa lampanelli or gilbert gottfried too?

He was never a very funny person to begin with. A show with his own name was literally carried by supporting characters, says alot about him

In terms of stand-up, it's one of the weaker offerings on Netflix (though not outright awful like that Amy Schumer special). The parts where he talks about growing up and working in the comedy scene back in the day were legitimately interesting though.

Nope. Larry David may have done the heavy lifting writing-wise, but the collaboration between the two of them is what made it work as well as it did. Adding the supporting cast is just why it was lightning in a bottle. If you took any of those five people out of the mix it would have been significantly worse.

Yeah its probably the best cast show of all time actually. Jerry was the perfect bridge for Kramer, George, Elaine, Newman etc to play off eachother, without his character the show wouldn't work at all actually.
