I watched a set of videos on the funniest moments, didnt laugh a single time, was pretty terrible humor wise.

That said, I did find it rather amusing how Seinfeld may sometimes spell out basic concepts to people, stuff youd normally never see explained. I like that because its also stuff that someone might find hard to explain so lucidly, so its rather educational in that regard. So not lol funny but amusing, I liked that.

I also get that people might like it for whatever atmosphere it provides. But actually funny, it is not. The audience laughing at every single thing, dont get it.

I'm not a big fan or anything, but it seems like the kind of show where a familiarity with the characters and an understanding of the story situation lends to the humor. Just watching a highlight reel isn't the same.

Also, you might just have a different sense of humor.

This is bang on, a lot of the humour is interwoven in the overall story and there's a lot of ongoing or "inside" character jokes.

That being said, it's not for everyone.

Nah usually when something makes others laugh on here I can appreciate that, so I think Im in line with most people, I just think most are conforming to the idea that this thing is funny because it has been very much popularized as such.

Again, I do not claim that amusement or entertainment cannot be derived from it; it can. But actual laughter, that would seem difficult.

Compilation videos ruin the timing of comedy. Also, you have to watch a few episodes to get used to the characters and the feel.


Ive definitely seen a few back in the day, I found it interesting as a kid because back then being an a hole was frowned upon, yet here were so many adult ones. That was abnormal to my relatively sheltered existence.

Maybe the show is more just moderately amusing.

This is always my unpopular opinion in threads like this. Oddly enough, I've easily seen 60+ episodes of it also, but I don't find it funny, I always found the humor and characters a bit irritating. It didn't make it unwatchable for me, i'd still put it on if nothing else was on and some of the episodes weren't bad, they just didn't make me laugh.

Thats the thing, I find it hard to believe it would genuinely make anyone really laugh. I may smile at some parts because they were funny enough to merit that, but most other times, no. Just... rather amusing. I was not irritated watching it but definitely with time it would start to grate, probably not that much time either.

TC, do you get out much? I have to ask because maybe the reason you don't find it funny is because you haven't lived through the common situations that the characters go through? Maybe you just lack all of those social constructs therefore can't appreciate the humor of how ridiculous going through them in everyday life really are.

I get the situations just fine, Ive been at a workplace and through the mundane.

Maybe its just dated. With the advent of the internet, absurd ott humor and memes exaggerating the mundane have become the norm. These guys might just not be up to snuff anymore.

Just for the record, this is the kind of thing that makes it seem like you're just trying to belittle fans of the show.

"I don't like it" is one thing. "Nobody should like it" is way different.

Maybe they confused entertaining with funny, thanks largely to how the show is advertised and presents itself (Seinfeld found some pretzels salty, laugh track busts a gut).

I watched through the whole series last year for the first time and thought it was hilarious and felt it lived up to its reputation

Though maybe being in my early 30s makes it more relatable

It's not a laugh track. There was an actual audience laughing at it.

Oh I dont agree with them in their every reaction, but the premise of having a bunch of snowflakey types being exposed to this show and some of them being offended is hilarious to me. The range of their opinions is also interesting, like they all obviously have similar leanings (some of which I too identify with) but still have significantly differing reactions.

So yes, as a video I found it entertaining, moreso than the actual show funnily enough.
