Hate to defend George Lopez, but fuck all hecklers. Shut the fuck up. It doesn’t matter that the comments were “positive”. This goes for dipshits singing along and screaming at concerts too.

The casino’s assistant general manager acknowledged that the recording did show “guests yelling out,” but that the heckling was positive.

i don’t necessarily think ‘giving credit’ is the right way to phrase this, but the current renaming of racism to be ‘anti-DEI’ is probably the strongest branding racism has had in a long time. it’s just vaguely official/corporate/government sounding enough to sound like a real thing, and if you’re dumb and racist it’s…

Good for him. Every audience member who shouts out unprompted at a comedy gig is, at best, a child with no impulse control, and they need to remember they’re not just interrupting the performer, but everyone around them who paid to see the gig.

Perhaps the better (and more cynical way) to put it is that if you’re being pandered to, you’re an emerging market that corporations feel is worth exploiting.

We’re having a cookout, but I doubt you’re invited.

Not this Gen Xer!  I ate Frosted Miniwheats because of their stance on Kosovo!

It’s a federal holiday

and a right-wing rumor that shopping at Target makes you “gay and a pervert.”

I think that’s part of why it’s hard not to read “something else,” something far uglier, into this kind of whining. Seinfeld did a network sitcom 30 years ago and mostly works clean. He is clearly intimately familiar with having to work within limits on content. Now, there is slightly more pushback on racist and…

Like I said, it’s still a dumb take.

He doesn’t seem to get his main success was by being just a goofy little guy and the anger and ego are the main reason that he doesn’t work anymore. Adam Sandler still has tons of movies. Seinfeld’s stuff about a “real man” was weird too, even he admitted he was hardly a he-man

Is he talking about himself or all his other rich friends? (Chris Rock, Chappelle, Rogen, etc.)

“What’s the deal with me not being able to use the n-word or the f-word anymore?”

It really is kind of amazing how Seinfeld thinks that PC wokeness has killed television comedy when Veep and Curb, shows featuring his former collaborators, both had some of the most non-PC, un-woke content and just recently left the air each after long, critically acclaimed and commercially successful runs. What the…

I’ll never forget his shared appearance with Richards on Letterman following the incident, and Seinfeld telling the crowd who are—understandably—laughing nervously at Richards’ comments, “Stop laughing. It’s not funny.” That smug, clueless reaction pretty much sums up Seinfeld for me.

best I can say is he did catch flak for a “gay french king” joke in 2015; maybe the slight heat he caught for a lousy throw-away line broke his brain.

Maybe he’s not a fan of the Twitter-spehere? Which I wouldn’t blame him for, but if that’s the case, he sure did a bad job of saying so.

I think Jerry is still broken up over how Michael Richards has been basically ostracized from society, but what he did would have gotten him “cancelled” during Seinfeld’s run, so it makes no sense.

The people who would book Rob Schneider for something like this are the people who go to see Patton Oswalt expecting him to be his character from King Of Queens.
