How many OJ jokes Letterman or Leno made is really irrelevant to this discussion, and is just an issue because you seem to think it is important.

The person who created and posted the youtube video put together a compilation of clips from over a year's time.
Which is more likely:
That person was randomly taping episodes of Letterman and just happened to hit on 5 or 6 nights when he made OJ jokes?
Or that person is one of those people that recorded every show…

I don't know what to say to you to convince you that a word or phrase does not just have a single meaning. There is nuance to language that you don't want to admit to understanding for some reason.

Considering that one of the clips that he included has some of the worst video quality possible, it appears that he put up everything he had.

Please ask them why The Puerto Rican Day episode is out of syndication, since the same explanation of the humor applies.
And ask Jerry if he feels weird introducing himself to people when he has to be pretty confident that everybody he meets knows who he is.

Exaggeration is taking the truth of something and blowing it up. Changing what I said to its opposite meaning is just lying.

The fact that they were obsessed 15 years ago doesn't mean that they might not have different feelings today.
I'd be interested to hear it from them, not you.

Another congratulations to offer for poor reading!

I think this is a case of the exceptions proving the rule.

The Joel Rifkin stuff just acknowledges the person's existence in the real world.

I like how you speak for poor readers.

Well, as I referenced in my first post, David Letterman intentionally avoided OJ trial humor —standing in stark contrast to Jay Leno, who clung to it like a life preserver. I've always thought that Dave being in NY gave him a better perspective. People in LA were so immersed in the trial everyday that making jokes…

As much as I love Seinfeld, " The Caddy" and "The Big Salad" strike me as terribly misconceived episodes because of their attempts at OJ Simpson trial related humor.

Maybe Elaine wipes forward after taking a dump. Ewww!

I like all the "my interpretation is" that polite commenters use.

It's the first script he's ever been offered where he wasn't a mafioso.

And Louie is so different from every one of those shows in both its production schedule and its narrative format that the comparison is ridiculous.

I guess I complicated things by using The Simpsons as an example because it is both animated and cartoonish.
I meant cartoon to indicate broadness and oversimplification.
