Not clicking that trash.

I can't imagine that going over well today at all, lol. I didn't watch but probably will later.
---

a show with four main cishet white characters is problematic
---

Iunno if it's a political thing tbh before y'all get so offended

Younger people not liking Seinfeld or older sitcoms is hardly a new thing
---

this just in, "YOUNGER PEOPLE HAVE NO TASTE IN TV"

bump
---

There's a trope for this, SeinfeldIsUnfunny

Does Jerry count as white under SJW rules though? He's jewish

I liked how they went from one clip of the dude saying "This just COULD NOT happen" and then the next dude just said "current stuff is far worse"

That was a good watch.

More like painful from their constantly flipping opinions and ignoring reality of currently popular shows.

Well, time to see if Im just being ignorant.

Eh, it's like any room full of people. A handful of them just have no idea what the fuck they're talking about. Plus they all look like high schoolers except the big dude

seinfeld is good ol conservative humor, these beanie babies wouldn't understand it

Seinfeld is amazing and anyone who thinks otherwise cannot appreciate comedy.

Some of them do. Others make you want to yell at them like you're a disappointed father.

I completely missed that word when I responded. This board has trained me to not acknowledge the words conservative and liberal. This is a good example of why

Imagine thinking that

Seinfeld is about 3 straight white men and a promiscuous white female.

The humor is derived from how characters don't adhere to conservative norms to the extreme.

So, teens and kids don't find a show that isn't made for them funny? that's like posting a video saying "react channel asks grown adults if Hannah Montana is entertaining"....it wasn't made for them. they aren't old enough to understand some of it. of course they won't immediately like it from a select few clips.
---

Seinfeld isn't made for anyone in particular. Anyone can enjoy it.
---

fuck the fine bros they tried to trademark the word react
---

I think it's because almost all comedy this generation is supposed to be relatable - the humor in seinfeld is laughing at how horrible these people are, sorta like sunny

Seinfeld is absolutely relatable. That's why it is funny.

*is mexican*

it aint to me lol I just find them terrible people and it makes me laugh

if Seinfeld was made in 2018:

George: JERRY! She didn't Text me back, What did i do wrong!?
Jerry: calm down, relax...what did you say?
George: I just said Hey!
Jerry: Hey?
George: HEY!
Jerry: Ok and then what?
George: AND THEN SHE DIDN'T REPLY!!
Jerry: I got that part what happened next?
George: Well then i texted "Hey" again...
Jerry: The double Text!?
George: What?
Jerry: You sent the double Text!? You NEVER send the DOUBLE TEXT!
*elaine walks in*
Elaine: Hey whats going on?
Jerry: George sent that girl the double text!
Elaine: Oh the Double Text?!
George: WHATS WRONG WITH A DOUBLE TEXT!?
Elaine: You NEVER send the double Text!
George: Why can't i double text everyone else gets to double Text!"

Me: *Groan*
---

That was tough to watch. Makes me glad that I don't know people like that.
---

Seinfeld is relatable in the sense that we can all have those self-centered, apathetic and lazy thoughts when it comes to relationships and other people. Especially when stuck in an awkward or annoying scenario.

It's usually dialed up because it's a TV show though obviously.
---

I watched Seinfeld when it was still on TV. Thought it was overrated trash then and still think it is.
---

I mean, it's one thing to just not find the show funny, but these guys are being wayyyy too uptight.

"omg they're using the word nazi way too lightly"

Most complaints come from the show being "insensitive" or not pc. Which is okay if they're like that with shows that come on today. The content that airs today is hardly any different.

As an American, Seinfeld is incredibly relatable. It's the interpersonal situations they go through. The fact that it's so relatable is why Seinfeld is loved and will never be forgotten.

Trust me when I say that you are NOT missing anything by not seeing that video.
I saw the first two minutes.
I had to STOP watching the video after two minutes. I could NOT force myself to go further.

Why?

Well, the "kids" in that video started going full blown "SJW" on the show when they saw a clip from the episode where Jerry Seinfeld gives a woman he is dating some pills in order to put her to sleep so he can play with the toys (like the original G.I Joe and others) on her toy collectors shelf.

They got OFFENDED by the fact that Seinfeld was giving this woman pills to put her to sleep (so he could play with the toys on her toy collectors shelf like G.I Joe) and stated that this was NOT okay behavior, it was offensive, and if a show like this aired today, Twitter would explode and everyone on the show, especially Jerry Seinfeld, would be fired due to the controversy and backlash.

I stopped watching the video after those first two minutes since I felt the urge to punch the screen, so I stopped.
I would like to stress that these "kids" in that video do NOT represent everyone in their age group. Most people their age have a sense of humor and are NOT SJWs.
That is all.

That is all.

I couldn't make it past that point either. I saw about two or three minutes of it and there was no way I could stomach watching the full 15 minutes. I read some of the comments after I saw the video and it looks like things just got worse throughout the video if the comments are anything to go by. Also, there are a huge amount of dislikes on that video (at least half of the like/dislike bar was 50% dislikes the last time I checked. According to the comments, most people were pissed off by the SJW type reactions most of the kids in the video gave throughout most of the 15 minutes of the video. The only kid, who looks like he's in his 30's, who didn't give an SJW reaction was the bearded kid... (who looks older than me and I'm in my early 30's).... but I only watched about 2 to 3 minutes before I stopped, so I don't know if he got worse like the others.

Once it was discovered that this reacting to older TV shows was just episode 1 of a series that is being planned out, people suggested that the next thing they should react to is the show "All in the Family" (the Archie Bunker show from the 70's) since that would most likely give everyone reacting a heart attack. LOL. If they can't handle Seinfeld (which is pretty tame, even back then. Hell, Fox's In Living Color, which ran against Seinfeld later on during the 90's, was 10 times edgier) then they would probably die if they saw All in the Family.

What happened to these young people that they became this way?

Yeah I've seen the react channel before. It's so boring and hard to watch.

Most young people are NOT like the ones in that video. Most are NOT SJWs but most are not Alt-right either, most are actually very normal (middle of the road, not extremists, which is what the majority of people are. Most people are NOT SJWs or alt-rights. Unfortunately, alt-righters and especially SJWs are a very vocal minority who "scream" very loud). Most of the "Kids" (who aren't really kids) in the video have some very SJW type views. I went back to try to give the video a second chance and it actually got worse.

From what I saw, one girl seriously bought up the #MeToo movement and stated that Seinfeld would not hold up today because of that. While there were a FEW things that they thought was funny about the show, most of them were mostly getting offended or kept bringing up modern day SJW type stuff and kept saying that the show wouldn't hold up today. The irony here is that Seinfeld reruns on TV (on TBS) during 2018, still get better ratings than most new shows today. So yeah, it still holds up. Meanwhile, most of those react videos (all made by the same team) on Youtube has lost a lot of viewers over time.... they are the ones who aren't exactly holding up.
---

Ask all these youngsters what they think about "Livin' with the Kardashians" and suddenly they're like "awww yeah now THAT'S a good show!"

I didn't watch the entire thing but I skipped around

I dunno, it seemed like more people thought it was okay than didn't think it was okay.
