I suppose it's easy to lump everyone into "celebrity" where they are all on some sort of level-ish playing field (Obviously Sienfeld has more notoriety than Kesha in most circles)...but in reality that was just a 60 year old dude confused by some weird looking 20 something woman who wanted a hug while he's trying to work.

I've never seen him talk when it didn't sound like a bit. Interviews, cars with coffee, all of it. He's a natural comedian, obviously one of the best. It's like he can't talk without it sounding like a routine, and I mean that as a good thing. Very fun to watch.
Would it kill you not to be so funny all the time? That's all I'm askin'. This woman thinks I'm very funny and now you're gonna be funny, so what am I gonna be? I'm gonna be a short bald guy with glasses who suddenly doesn't seem so funny.

Oh man that is such a good episode when she turns out to be into the solemn depressed Jerry. I think that's the one that really drives home the fact that George's schemes absolutely will not ever work.
And the food in bed one sorta worked until he went to far. But hell, with the amount of women George pulls, could probably try it again and find someone into it.
Well birthdays are really symbolic of how another year has gone by and how little weโve grown. No matter how desperate we are that some day a better self will emerge, with each flicker of the candles on the cake we know it's not to be. But for the rest of our sad, wrenched, pathetic lives, this is who we are to the bitter end. Inevitably, irrevocably. Happy birthdayโฆ no such thing

YES I think that conversation between george and the girl when she says that is one of the funniest lines ever: "Jerry is deep? His live revolves around cereals and superman!"
I'm on my first watch-through of Seinfeld right now, and just watched this episode today. I am loving this show so much. I remember when my parents watched it all the time when I was little, wish I could've been around while it was still airing.
I have a friend who works at a club he frequents, and sometimes Jerry will be back stage complaining about something, and everybody'll start laughing, and he'll be like, no I'm serious, which just makes them laugh more. Its like he lives in his own little private comedian hell.
You know... As a teen I never cared for his show, I thought it was boring.... But as an adult, that clip was funny. Especially with this context. Maybe I should try Seinfeld again. ๐
I loved it as a teenager, but as an adult there's a whole other level. In fact the older I get the more I find myself truly identifying with George Costanza. It's almost like he's the true protagonist of the show.

It's funny in the fact that as they do this piece, it parallels with Jerry Seinfeld in real life. This further proves the fact that Seinfeld, at first glance (like what you're doing right now), is a show about nothing. But upon inspection (and your own adult real world experiences), it becomes a show about everything.
That's the nice way to explain it. The crude way, which is what I use when in person, is that you actually have to be intelligent to get the humor. It isn't slapstick like shows such as Big Bang Theory, That 70s Show, or other ones that rely deeply on the canned laughter every 7 seconds.
So instead of explaining it you just say it's about everything and go on about how it's a club for smart people. If you've read any of my messages I clearly state I don't see any slights at any real human condition there isn't a sense of relatability or humanity in any of the characters they don't folly like we do they don't even make sense they're just the same one dimensional annoying characters all the time. How much deeper can jerry being annoying about another minor detail in a woman can there be after the 100th instance.

Something tells me you are either not American, or too young to understand the depth of the show. That's fine though. The problem with the younger audience is it becomes increasingly difficult to come back to the show and relate since so many aspects they touch on are becoming archaic.
The show isn't something you can go Google and then get the humor. Sorry bud
You have no idea what you're talking about apparently. I get big boy concepts, and I can also use big boy skills like talking about big boy concepts, because I understand them. Now since you have not shared one piece of valuable information and solely have tried to claim superiority, I'm going to assume you have no validity to even convince me of the other side in the first place.

You're the only one claiming a superiority complex. Unfortunately to no avail.
What? He keeps separating my intelligence from his. This isn't about intelligence. He can't explain something he claims to understand: I call full blown bullshit. Y'all are emotional kids. I can smell it from Jupiter. I'm done here
I think its humor comes from maturity, I felt the same way when I was young, but now I really enjoy watching it, especially when George slips on invitations
Ok so what you're saying is the humor I thought would be there is what you're saying is there which confirms my belief the show is just shit. No one even acts like them, maybe niche Jewish people? They're just annoying ha ha?
The show is fucking bad there isn't higher level thinking involved it's just annoying fucks constantly being so fucking annoying the whole show is like an episode of chowder Except it's fucking more awkward than Louie because I can't comprehend why anyone would want to even act like that as their job because it would be so fucking miserable to do that day in and day out. I'm immature because your humor is fucking bad lol kys. Like my mom loves hat show and she's one of the dumbest people I've ever met. Billions of people jerk each other off for being smart enough to find the man in the sky why would it be impossible there's a bunch of pretentious people who like to jerk off about that cool bass lick and the beginning and how mature and smart they are for laughing at a laugh track and whining Jews
You're not contradicting the point, supporting it even. Now saying you're impaired in some way would make sense but you're saying you have no interest in putting in extra attention. Ergo, your average intelligence.
Also how do you figure someones worth responding to but not worth responding in a way that conveys your point as accurately as possible? Why respond if not to have your response understood.
I get that and I get there may be something but I don't think there is after 26 years of seeing that show I have never once appreciated any of it other than the bass lick
There's clearly something there. Millions of people don't watch a show for no reason. It's just something you don't like. Considering how badly you've described your dislike of the show, it sounds like you just don't get it.
Millions of people voted for hitler and trump and believe dr oz is that really your fucking argument didn't you learn in first grade the bridge analogy Jesus Christ
Man I'm done trying to make you realize your mistake. I thought you were a kid who just didn't get it...but making it 26 years (at least) and still being this immature, it's astonishing.
I don't like your show. How is that immature. Fuck off. I literally said I was done with this conversation and I kept telling you and now you finally realize you're not going to change my mind? It's not smart it's not funny it's annoying as hell thats how I feel about it.
Not liking it is fine, it's your reasons that make you immature. They lack any logic or substance. It's purely based on your opinion on a topic where opinion is about all that matters and clearly many disagree.
But anyway, you're right. Can't change your mind when their was no mind involved in the decision.
No it's not lol you haven't explained AT all any of this "next level maturity" humor that I think there is very little if not none of. Like for instance Big Bang Theory. Funny show, but it's fucking terrible. Take out the laugh track and I can see how it would be a mature show ridden with slights at the human condition. Seinfeld is nonsense and it's fucking annoying listening to LITERALLY every character I can't stand it I don't care how smart the show is if it's nauseating to listen to, but the show isn't smart (in my opinion).
Well this clip, out of context, isn't particularly funny. It relies on previously established character traits, if you haven't watched enough of the show you won't understand it
Reminds me of when Steve Martin plays banjo. He wrote a song for Mary Steenburgen's birthday, played it for her at some huge event over a remote feed, and about halfway through, people started cracking up. He will never be taken seriously with a banjo except at bluegrass events where they get it.
That's literally how I think Seinfeld made its fame. Honestly, I don't think Jerry is funny, and I think his ENTIRE career has essentially been a rolling joke about him being funny because of how unfunny he is. I relatively recently finished Seinfeld again for the 3rd time, and at the beginning and end where he's doing his stand up, rarely is any of his jokes actually funny. But people just end up laughing because it's just Jerry. Jerry Seinfeld says the darndest things, but they're usually not funny but because it came from his mouth, it's always just like gold. Because I mean really, his comedy is essentially just stereotyping and saying normal reality things. At face value, it's not funny, but I guess the idea of someone just making a TV show calling things as they are is good.
In finishing, I'm a big fan of Seinfeld. Just not so much his stand up.
You've got a valid position, but a lot of people would disagree with you. His whole thing is that he can take something that seems in no way funny, and through clever writing and delivery make it hilarious.
I think he was just really good at exaggerating things. He made every day things a subject of discussion and then blow it out of proportion. And I guess there never really has been a similar show like that to my recollection. And it holds up to this day, because depending on your generation, many can still relate.
Hell, I can hardly go a day without doing or seeing something without referencing it to Seinfeld. And I think that was the genius behind it.
He's not as bad as people make him out to be, though. He holds his own pretty well against the rest of the cast, who by all accounts are brilliant comedic actors. He also has some great scenes later in the show when he becomes less of a straight-man and is revealed to be just as fucked up as his friends.
Great, now I'm just pissed that the bitch ruined what sounded like would be a good Seinfeld bit.

The thing with a polished comedian is that they are constantly running bits in their head to see what will work. When in conversation they just pull them out and use them as if they were the most natural thing in the world.
I know he does a lot of meditation and talks a lot about it and I think he might've been talking about how meditating before bed helps him sleep well. I think I remember watching him give a talk about it.
I fucking knew this would be the top comment. I'm trying to imagine the conversation leading up to that. The interviewer probably asked "how are you?" and Jerry just goes off.
If you think pushing into someones face like Mr Bean did is acceptable to a friendly, non-forced hug instead of simply using your voice or moving backwards and saying "I don't want to hug you" that's extremely inappropriate and aggressive.
Well aren't there certain rules to the religion? IF Seinfeld were to not adhere to one or some of these rules would he then be technically NO LONGER JEWISH? So then for him to be technically Jewish he would simply need to adhere to these rules yes? Or am I way off?

How is this even possible though? Like i get its really hard to get big in music without going through the labels but Kesha was already a big star so with the Internet and social media shouldn't shake just not need the labels anymore? Not too mention its possible to for even independent nobodies to get on every conceivable digital music store through cd baby i think it's called and if they allow nobodies with one song and probably only a handful of fans to get in so surely they'd let Kesha in? And even if they don't she could sell on her own site and through social media and probably get not only quite a few sells but since she wouldn't have to deal with a middle man she could possibly make even more money even if the sells are less.

artist goes: "ok. yay. music, love fame and money woooo!!!!!"
two years later
Artist be like: man producer guy is sooooooo strict, I wanna make music my own way. I already made hims so much money. How do I get out of mah contract...."
This is ripped off of a Gallagher routine from the 80s at the latest, and it's only half the joke. Can't find it on YouTube, but the punch line is about contractions and how they're convenient, but a bunch of spelling conventions in English are inconsistent. So in the end he says it don't make

Why am I still here? I don't even like Jerry Seinfeld. I turned on the tv last night and it was on, I immediately changed the channel. The reddit write off was great and totally on point. Still don't like Jerry tho.
See, the joke is that despite her rebranding from "Ke$ha" to "Kesha" she suffered a decline in popularity due to an aging audience, and ultimately less overall net income in USD, the smallest unit of which is referred to as "cents" - abbreviated ยข.
I haven't met a single man who'd be okay with a random woman coming up and licking their faces.

Like if she went for a kiss on the cheek.
Perhaps I wasn't clear and am being misunderstood, but I was trying to say that "a lot of it" (physical displays of affection) is desirable for men, but not all of it (like licking).
I'm pretty sure most guys who aren't fucking 16 years old and still in puberty wouldn't like being physically touched by a random fucking girl. I know I wouldn't, and I'm a huge pervert. I just don't like being surprised out of nowhere by someone i know nothing about, who fucking knows where they been.

I think they would. A cute girl approaching a guy in a bar and fully validating his physical appeal? She doesn't have to catch them off-guard, just do it assertively and give them a chance to move out the way, and I think they wouldn't and they'd enjoy it.
But in this instance this guy is at work. This interview is his job and she came to his work area, licked his face in front of a client, and ran away giggling. It's not ok.
It wouldn't be ok in a bar either, imo, but you're entitled to disagree. Why a man needs his sexuality validated more than a woman does is beyond me. I know they're treated like sex objects more often, but guys don't need desperate gross shit to feel like they can attract someone.

Technically true, but he's a rock star/entertainer, and doesn't seem like the most prudish guy. There has to be a reason she's interested, it can't be a random person walking up to someone out of nowhere. That's why I said a bar, as a sort of parallel to his situation.
I'm not saying it's "ok", just describing why it's perceived differently.
Why a man needs his sexuality validated more than a woman does is beyond me.
You answer yourself:
I know they're treated like sex objects more often, but guys don't need desperate gross shit to feel like they can attract someone.
A kiss isn't desperate or gross, especially one on the cheek. And no, they don't "need" it, but I think most would enjoy it.
I think for both genders it's 50/50. I wouldn't want some girl trying to assert some hug when I clearly said no, especially 3 times in a row. I don't care how cute they are.

idk kesha tried 3 times. I get lectured by women all the fucking time about street harassment which is essentially what just took place there by that standard. Once woulda been enough, but 3 times? that's kind of my point, women holding themselves to different standards than men. Makes me angry.

Oh, I didn't get your reference at first. Totally forgot about the OP.

Me too.
But there's a reason for it. It's nature. We can only change our (legal/social) system, not our dimorphic behavior. There will always remain some disparity.
Because the first person I sorta knew and it happened a really long time ago. The 2nd time was an actual complete stranger who hugged me, then licked my face. I was a vendor at an anime convention and she said she really liked what I was selling. She also had a small group of socially awkward guys following her around.

Yet the term slut implies that a woman is morally deficient whereas studs do not deal with the same moral scrutiny.
If you want to give kudos to a guy that has a lot of sex and don't believe that a woman who has the same amount of sex deserves any that's fine. The double standard comes from women being vilified for sexual expression in a way men never are.
Well so are criminals but they are perceived as less worthy when they do wrong and desperate people are also perceived as less desirable because they are desperate...they are both still human.
Men ARE viewed as less valuable due to their being easier. Thats the whole structure of heterosexuality. Man and woman go on date, both brinigng their 'company'HE pays because his company alone does not hold enough value.
If you're a guy, go ahead and start licking the faces of women you barely know and report back to us. If you're a girl, go ahead and have one of your guy friends do it and report back to us.

It's what's being implied with the heavily sarcastic tone
Edit: for reference im a 26 yr old white male that won't refer to himself as a feminist because I'm not a fan of labels. Just tired of the reverse sexism circle jerk on this site
The whole point demonstrated by my comment is that only extraordinary men are harassed nearly as much because most ordianry men are not worth bothering, for most women.Its not because women are nicer, its plain lack of value in average men
OOOOOoooo so this only applies to "extraordinary" men, and this subgroup is harassed just as much. Furthermore, sexual harassment is not caused by a lack of human decency but rather one group being too attractive. I got it! Thanks for clearing that up
It's something of a statistical inevitability.If one group is doing almost all of the explicit proactive initiation approaching etc..that's the group where you are going to find the most bad or even pathological approaches.Think about it rationally.
You're sitting here making a blind defense of every scum bag that sexually harasses woman and telling me it's society's fault. Whatever you gotta tell yourself mate but don't feed me your bullshit
I'm not.I never said the behaviour was right.
Do you know there is a strong correlation between poverty and crime, espeically violent crime and stealing.
No.the two situations have a direct comparison. All kinds of crime increase in a situation of poverty.
Your argument is the same one conservatives make, that its all a question of personal morality...and for much the same reason.
You know that women are more valued sexually than men, and thats why men pay on dates, are more thirsty, are more desperate and expected to do most of the approaching.
If women did 90% of the approaching youd see a lot more harassment etc from them.
Now, its a bit more complex than that, but you refuse the parallel because your whole value system is built on benevolent sexism..women good men bad...except men who act better who are almost as good as women.
First of all men don't do all the approaching. Really the the sexual norms from the 50s that you ranted about for the last 2 paragraphs don't exist anymore. If you don't realize that you're probably just shit with woman.
Second of all, no there wouldnt be. There'd still be plenty of douche bags to harass woman that weren't approaching them. But like I said man, whatever you need to believe to rationalize your actions. Seems like you're pretty experienced in defending them.
If you don't realize that you're probably just shit with woman.
That's a common reaction.Its called personalising something to derail an argument.Conservatives do this all the time, when the poor or the working class or the left complain they say you guys are just jealous, or lazy or just don't want to work.
'whatever you need to believe to rationalize your actions.'

She had a single theme Tumblr account for a while: Put your beard in my mouth. It was weird.
Wow this totally changes my opinion of this incident. I kept thinking, "man what an asshole! it's just a hug!" Didn't know she was the type to go up to people and lick them. Jerry Seinfeld is a wiser man than I ever realized.
I am by no means some militant MRA, or even a normal one, but imagine if the genders were reversed. Some dude coming up and licking a famous chick's face during a TV interview.
It could be 90s Jennifer Aniston coming up and licking me, I'd still be grossed out and annoyed if it was out of the blue while I'm trying to do an interview.
Why propose that hypothetical though? She did it cause she knew she would get away with it, regardless of how you feel about double standards. Its okay if the OP wouldn't want that to happen to him but you're lying to yourself if you think even 90% of men would agree with him.
"if roles were reversed it would be sexual assault" hmmm maybe but.... they are not reversed, so people are ok with it.

I mean, she also thought she could get away with trying to hug Jerry. She was disgusting in that video, the fact that Slash is equally disgusting and okay with some random trash tier celebrity slobbering on his cheek doesn't change that.
Lots of people would react closer to Seinfeld than Slash, you just live in a fantasy land where every guy is a desperate loser with no sense of personal boundaries.

Jerry: "So I'm standing there talking to this reporter, answering his questions, you know, and this lady walks up like she knows me, and does this hugging motion!"
George: "Hugging motion? Who does that?!"
Jerry, nodding: "This lady apparently. And I'm thinking to myself Oh No, do I know this person? Is this that girl I dated last week? I can't remember her name!"
George: "Mulva, her name was Mulva. What was the hugging motion like? Was it like this?"
George comes at Jerry with open arms, just as Kramer barges into the apartment...
Kramer: puts down a live chicken "So Jerry. I hear you turned down Kesha."
Jerry and George together: "What's a Kesha?"
Kramer: gathering hats from Jerry's closet "What's a Kesha? What's a Kesha?! Wow, you're really out of touch Jerry." begins trying different hats on the chicken
Elaine: "Hello boys. Uh, what's with the chicken?"
Kramer: "It's for the show tonight."
Elaine looks puzzled and brushes off the comment
Jerry: "So Elaine, what do you think about a woman just introducing herself with a hug?"
Elaine: "What kind of hug?"
Jerry: "You know, a full on hug. Both arms all the way around."
Elaine: "Do you know her?"
Jerry: "That's just it, I'm really not sure."

Jerry nods and mutters several "uh-huhs" then hang ups
Elaine: "Well? Who was it?"
Jerry, looking exasperated with hands in the air: "That was my new agent. He says he's booked a lunch meeting tomorrow with Kesha. Apparently she wants to work with me and thinks I'm the perfect spokesman for her new hat line."
George: "You reject a hug from Kesha and now you get to have lunch with her!?"
Kramer, with chicken still in hand: "Wait just a minute Jerry. You're saying that this Kesha has hats? Hats for your head? You've got to let me come with you to that lunch. I'll drive you."

George: "How tall is she?"
Elaine: "Maybe you could initiate a hug tomorrow, set things straight?"
Jerry: "No, not an option." Reaching for the phone "I'm calling my agent back, the meeting is off..."
George: "Off?"
Jerry: "It's OFF!"
Kramer: "Jerry, don't throw away this opportunity! This could be your big in! Your chance to finally make it! Plus you promised Little Pablo a bowler hat, and a bowler hat he shall have! Jerry, I'm begging you, don't cancel that meeting! This is KESHA we're talking about! And Little Pablo! Don't say no to Little Pablo..."
Jerry: "Fine, I'll do the meeting but I'm not hugging!"
Kramer: "Aww, thanks buddy!" Waves with chicken wing
George: "So if there's no hug how are you going to greet her? Shake her hand?
Elaine: "If you rejected my hug on TV, I sure wouldn't shake your hand."
Jerry: "Yeah, I really gotta come up with something here."

I'm trying to decide if Reddit is that good at channeling the spirit of Seinfeld or if I have just watched it so much that I can hear their voices and see the body motions in my head.
german here, in my early 30's, i only heard things about Seinfeld for forever and then i've seen that it's on amazon with original english audio. watched it in 3 weeks earlier this year, i would say, still for today it's one of the best shows i've ever seen. will watch again.
I gotta learn to read the names first. Keep reading the lines in one of their voices then go back and realise, "oh it's Kramer who said that not George" then I have to read it again in Kramer's voice.
Edit: Managed to get the names switched around and sound stupid.

Oh God I didn't even realize I could hear it all while reading.
I've heard him say that it's not a show about nothing before. I tried googling, but couldn't find it. I think he was on Conan or Leno or something when I saw him say it.
In his AMA someone stated basically a long winded version of what /u/SimpleManSC said and Jerry commented that finally someone saw that and he regretted the Show about nothing arc.

Kramer I could imagine accidentally meeting Trump without knowing him, having some outlandish theory or porposal, and Trump, against all odds, immediately hiring him.
He would pull George along, who has no job at the time.
I'm trying to come up with something that would lead this whole thing into chaos, but can't imagine anything crazier than what is happening irl.
Opening Act 2 - Jerry dressed in a jacket and tie getting ready to meet Kesha
George (on couch eating chips): "So did you think of something?"
Jerry: "No, not really."
George: "Really? You're just going to see what happens?"
Jerry: "Yeah, I think so.
Kramer (enters through door): "Hey, Mr. No Hug."
Jerry: "I am not Mr No Hug!"
Kramer: "Yes you are. Did you see today's paper?"
Newspaper Headline: Seinfeld Rebuffs Kesha
Jerry (reading the paper): "Mr. Seinfeld refused a hug from Kesha three times. 'Three strikes and you're out!' Kesha said. 'I can't believe Jerry! I mean he's like some sort of guy who doesn't want a hug. A Mr. No Hug.'"
Jerry: You know what, I'm not going to do it. I won't hug her. Why concede my dignity to these arbitrary social expectations? SUPERMAN wouldn't be asked to dole out hugs here and there for no good reason, he's got better things to do!
Elaine: You're really comparing yourself to superman?
Jerry: (Brushing her off) What is a hug anyway? Just pressing certain parts of your body against another human for an extended period of time? The more I hear about this Kaylsha -
George: - Kesha
Jerry: Right, Kosher. The more I hear about this woman, the less I want to hug her. 'Brush my teeth with a bottle of Jack's?' 'Stockings ripped all up the sides, looking sick and sexified?' I don't want to be touching this glitter-covered, stocking-ripped, alcohol mouthwashing monstrosity! And you can't make me!
The usual explanation here is that the things that made it funny all seem boring now because everyone copied them. This is sometimes referred to as the Seinfeld effect.
well that explains why you've never seen it. the majority of people just catch it on reruns every evening. I have Hulu+ but haven't really bothered to watch more than a handful of seasons of Seinfeld through it. I stick mostly to streaming services these days but I'll tune into Seinfeld if I see it on the tv guide or if I happen to flip thru it.
I hated it and did not get it at all. But I am from the Southwest US and had not traveled much. Then I moved to a big city on the East coast (Boston), lived there for 2 years and never watched it. But then after moving back to the Southwest, I stumbled onto it again and all of the sudden, I get it. Now years later, I still love it. It could be a cultural thing for you. It was for me.
Seinfeld was not an American sitcom, it was the American sitcom, it fells kinda generic and clichรฉ now becasue literally everything that came after tried to emulate it to some degree.
TBF it doesn't take much viewing time to get the gist of Seinfeld

so in other words, this makes your comment less credible. spot-on means what... "exactly correct?" how can you make such a judgment without even watching a full episode?!
sure, I agree that this stuff is so well-written that the sights and sounds of a genuine Seinfeld set accompany the reading of this in mind, as if I was looking back on the screenplay of an episode I'd already seen.
but still.... I venture to say you don't know what spot-on looks like in this scenario, and furthermore, watch some Seinfeld, damnit. it's amazing!
Open Scene at the Diner. Jerry enters and Kesha, already at the restaurant, forces a hug on him, all the while he's wincing, disgustedly.
Jerry and Kesha hit it off at the meeting and he signs a contract with Kesha's hat company without really reading the terms.
Cut to Jerry's Apartment
Jerry - "Four shows per month! That's insane! I'm not doing it, no way!"
Kramer - "You've got to Jerry! It's in the contract!".
In the closing scene we see Kesha reading a statement of claim where Jerry alleges she sexually assaulted him. She reluctantly lets him out of his contract with her hat company.
The phone rings
Jerry: "Jerry here."
Jerry nods and mutters several "uh-huhs" then hang ups
Elaine: "Well? Who was it?"
Jerry, looking exasperated with hands in the air: "That was my new agent. He says he's booked a lunch meeting tomorrow with Kesha. Apparently she wants to work with me and thinks I'm the perfect spokesman for her new hat line."
George: "You reject a hug from Kesha and now you get to have lunch with her!?"
Kramer, with chicken still in hand: "Wait just a minute Jerry. You're saying that this Kesha has hats? Hats for your head? You've got to let me come with you to that lunch. I'll drive you."

Elaine: "Maybe she's one of those 'serial huggers'? I knew this girl who'd hug anybody...random guy: hug...girl: hug...priest: hug...just hug-hug-hug all day!"
Jerry: "What's the ruling on a date hug?"
George: "Let me tell ya...I take a girl out, spend for dinner, movie, ice cream...if, at the end of the night, I see her do 'the lift' and proceeds towards me like she's Grandma giving me a good night hug..it's over...OVER, JERRY!"
Jerry: "The lift is the worst!"
Kramer (holding a bunch of grapes, chewing in mouth one-by-one): "George, you need the anti-hug."
George: "Anti-hug, you mean like 'Auntie'?"
"George: "No..no...the ANTI-hug..."
Jerry and Elaine: "Ohhh...ANTI-hug!"
Kramer: "You see, she lifts her arms like she's going in for the hug, got it?"
George: "Yeah..."
Kramer: (continuing to graphically illustrate the move): "Her arms go up and out towards you...that's when you go IN with YOUR arms, embrace her neck, go in for the kiss and ba-loop!" [pops grape in mouth].."guaranteed second date!...dig?"[winks]
George: "That's genius!...the ANTI-hug...[taps Kramer on the chest]..."You know, I'm calling back that girl from college who rejected me with a hug. Cindy..Cindy Walowski, I think that's it."
Jerry: "Cindy Walowski...college?"
George: "She was a friend of a friend, ok?" [Proceeds to flip through phone book.]
George: "I've always been uncomfortable receiving hugs. Always made me feel guilty, as if i don't deserve it."
Elaine "You don't deserve it George. Why would anyone hug you?"
George: "Plenty of people want to hug me. There was that guy at the airport."
Elaine: "He was with the TSA George. He wasn't hugging you, he was searching you."
George: "Well he got up very close. In fact, i thought i felt something"
Jerry: "Felt something. What do you mean you felt something?"
George: "Well you know, he was pressed up against me. I thought i felt something?"
Kramer: "You know George, these TSA agents, they don't even need to search you now, they have these machines. Xrays. Sees right through your clothes. Right through!"
George: "What do you mean? They can see you naked?"
Kramer. "Completely naked."
George: " That's not right. That can't be right. They can see everything?
Kramer: "Everything. Every tiny detail."
George: "Well that's the last time i fly."
Elaine: "So Jerry, what are you going to do about that Kesha thing?"
Jerry: "I guess I'm going to have to initiate a hug. I hope she's not a clinger."
George: "Nothing worse than a clinger".
Elaine: "Well, there's something worse than a clinger George."
I think it's very easy to write once you fully understand the characters and how they would react to situations but the charm would have to be the delivery and execution of each character.
Jerry is extremely petty and childlike while still being a decent person.
George is just rotten, selfish, dim witted and extremely prone to self-detonating schemes.
Kramer is literally anything but normal/monotonous while being extremely lucky and somehow cool with everyone.
Elaine is cold, calculating, somewhat ditzy and faintly bullyish. She tries too hard to not be a stereotype that she falls right into it sometimes.
Newman is just a literal TV villain who hates Jerry with extreme passion but in a childish way that procrastinates his life.
Mickey is a prideful, hot headed scrappy sleazebag.

what an amazing way to describe both George, and the plot to most episodes
Pretty much, right? The plots to most episodes suck pretty bad but the level of delivery George has is just unparalleled. He makes the stupidest shit so damn believable. And then Jerry nearly ruins every scenes' seriousness with his constant smirking and near-busting out laughing.l that it just makes it all the funnier to watch. It reminds me of Rick and Morty when he can't even get through the stupid Two Brothers trailer without laughing his ass off.

Of course that would be amazing, but I could honestly just sit here reading made up dialogue on reddit. It's the second best thing!
It's also interesting how these scenes of the gang just hanging out in Jerry's apartment are the thing I miss the most. Who cares about the plot? This is what made Seinfeld great!
I was never 'die-hard' Seinfeld, but that whole thread of posts was one of the funniest things I have read in a while. Just so spot on. Thanks guys and girls.
I think it is a little suspicious how good and Seinfeld-like this comment chain is. This could be Seinfeld or David on multiple accounts reaping in that sweet karma and gold - as if the millions from Seinfeld weren't enough.

Jerry: (Getting upset, shouting) It was rude! It was a rude gesture! You're a paparazzi now, Newman?

Kramer: "I can't believe you turned down Kesha. You don't get a second chance with Kesha. Now, where's your bowler hat Jerry??? "

So the episode ends at Kramer's show which is being headlined by Kesha who blows the whole thing because she went drinking heavily after being denied a hug from Jerry and then the chicken mauls somebody in the audience wearing a bowler hat. roll credits

George (Grabbing a jar of peanuts from Jerry's cupboard): Ptuah, Jerry, these peanuts are stale.
Jerry: Stale peanuts? Whoever heard of stale peanuts?
Kramer: Oh, I've had stale peanuts, Jerry.
Elaine (Looking at her watch): Ooh, ooh, I've got to go, I'm meeting Tom at the opera at 8:00.
George: The opera? Since when did you start going to, "the opera"?
Elaine: Since Tom got free tickets. He knows the stage manager. I figured, "What the heck," you know? A little wine at dinner, a nice romantic opera...
Jerry: Oh, yeah. What's the opera about?
Elaine: It's Les Miserables
Kramer: Oh, that's a musical, not an opera.
George (Now sitting on the couch eating the stale peanuts, and mumbling): Master of the house, doling out the charm...
Elaine: It's an opera. There's singing.
George: Ready with a handshake and an open palm...
Kramer: An opera is Italian or German. Les Mis is in English.
Elaine: French.
Kramer (snapping his finger and pointing): click Yes, but it's sung in English. Listen, Jerry, I'm going to go see if Newman has a hat. Can you watch the chicken for a few minutes?

Right when it started it had a lot of promise but now everything is "Jerry can't believe [current new thing] is a thing but tries it out anyway. George tries it but doesn't understand it. Elaine has understood it all along because Mr. Peterman told her to. Kramer makes his own rip-off [current new thing]."

Fidget spinners. Kramer's fidget spinners have blades so you can prune plants while you use it and he horribly disfigures a woman while demonstrating how it works
George tries using fidget spinners but the resultant RSI sprains every muscle in both hands and he is unable to use his hands in any way. He spends the rest of the episode pretending to type on his computer whilst doing no actual work. To cover for the lack of productiveness George prints out old reports to submit to Mr Steinbrenner.
Mr Steinbrenner is so impressed by these old reports he unexpectedly calls a shareholder meeting and George suddenly has to explain the contents of the reports he has never read. In addition, none of the shareholders has never met George so each shakes his hand as they walk in the door, causing excruciating pain.
One of Kramer's dangerous fidget spinners also hits Jerry in the eye and he is forced to wear an eyepatch.
Jerry is waiting in the bar before his next standup gig and to his horror Banyon joins him. Jerry explains what has happened and starts bemoaning the fact that none of his material will explain away the eye patch so Banyon offers him a plastic hook hand from the costume department and some pirate jokes to use instead.
Jerry tries the pirate jokes but they suck and nobody laughs.
Banyon is up next and makes jokes about how dangerous fidget spinners are, using Jerry as an example. The audience thinks Banyon is hilarious.

That's about 50% of all Seinfeld episodes though, especially later ones.
Not really. Most Seinfeld episodes have different storylines for every character. They aren't about every character's reaction to a single thing. The fun of the show is seeing the random storylines combine. That doesn't work when Jerry, George, Elaine and Kramer are all obsessed with the same thing.
Kramer: "Hey! i hope i'm not interrupting!" (AUDIENCE)
Jerry puts George's Arms down: "Oh stop it!" (AUDIENCE)
Jerry walks to the counter top: "We we're talking about what happened at the event last night"

Jerry: "No-"
Kramer: "What did I tell you about that girl, Jerry, she's a hugger, didn't I tell you?"

Well done. It shows how those characters and the show could still be relevant today. George would get into all sorts of awkward situations on the Internet...etc.
I feel like I should watch this show again. I was a wee lad when the show was at its prime and thus it all kinda went over my head. Same with Fraiser. I watched them both on reruns all on Nick at Night in my teens, but I know I didn't really get it all looking back

Seinfeld=Larry David. Actor Seinfeld is just a comedian who cant act but he is a class act. All carried by George and Elaine. What a lovely sitcom with a cameo from the serie itself as Cosmo, almost every episode. Loved it.
Well the thing is that just because he's famous doesn't mean it's cool to cut him off and ask for a hug. He legitimately didn't know who she was, so all of a sudden you have this random ass person barge in now interview.. kinda weird?
"The Neck waddle". Jerry complains about a new suit choking his neck skin to the point where it looks like a turkey waddle and it becomes irritated. Then a celebrity asks for a hug and he doesn,t want to irritate, it anymore.
Yes wattle is what, I meant. I'm terribly sorry for the confusion.
George butters his toast as Jerry holds his head in his hands like an Edvard Munch painting.
GEORGE
She does what?
JERRY
(rubbing his temples)
She spells. Her name. With a dollar sign.
GEORGE
What is that, some sort of metaphor?
(to waitress)
Excuse me, darling, I think you forgot the jelly for my toast.
JERRY
A metaphor? No, it's a pseudoprofound intermingling of symbols and alphabet, is what it is. And, frankly, I don't care for it
GEORGE
Did I ever tell you what I want to name my kid?
(yelling)
Can I get some strawberry jam over here?
JERRY
Boy, you're really getting testy about your toast.
GEORGE
Ever since Marie turned me vegan I've gotten these unbelievable cravings. Donuts, muffins, toast with jelly. Ah thank you sweetheart. Marmalade.
JERRY
And you find that you're eating these sweet baked items to satisfy a new craving brought about by your sudden dietary change?
George inhales the toast spread thick with marmalade.
GEORGE
I'm spreading and consuming, baby!
KRAMER enters, joins them at the booth.
KRAMER
(to Jerry)
You know, you hurt Kesha's feelings.
JERRY
I had know idea who she was. This strange woman in a red Nudie suit comes up and tries to give me a hug. I found the whole thing offputting. Was she really upset?
KRAMER
(drinking Jerry's milkshake)
She won't come out of her treehouse.
JERRY
Of course she has a treehouse. Hey Kramer, what do you think of Georgie boy here, inhaling down sweet carbohydrates like he's canvassing for Sanders down Gingerbread Lane?
KRAMER
(looks George up and down)
You've got the Candida, buddy.
GEORGE
Candida?
KRAMER
That's right.
GEORGE

It was basically a scene out of Seinfeld...except instead of a hug it was all of the women in his building going in for a kiss on the cheek. After rejecting one of them, the rest of the ladies begin to ostracize him. Amazing that he kept to his word.

Knock at the door
Jerry: Newman...
Newman: Jerry...
Newman: Kramer did you get the Turkeys?
Kramer: You mean Chickens? Yeah I got a bunch.
Newman: We discussed turkeys! You cant bring chickens into the equation now!
Kramer: Its been chickens the whole time, Newman!
George: What do you guys need chickens for?
Newman: Turkeys...
The bit about it being hard to just sleep when you're tired actually felt like one of the segues from the fake standup bits at the beginning and end of the show. Like, "haha, what's he talking about? Oh no, here comes Kesha!"
I've personally worked in places that had celebs come in and we were told, explicitly, that we cannot acknowledge their Fame. No quotes, handshakes, questions you wouldn't ask any old customer.
That actually makes a lot of sense. If you're the business owner, you want them coming back, and celebs, as all of us would, get really sick of hearing the same quotes shouted at them ad nauseam every time they leave the house.
Boy he really carne to hate that shit. At one of his stand up after that skit but before the whole freak out, he just couldn't hide his contempt for people yelling that out through out the show. He would actually make fun of them for it.
I find it interesting when artists grow so successful that they dislike the manner in which their material is consumed by the larger audience they were trying to reach in the first place. At least when you do commercials, it is still your choice how it's portrayed. I guess it means you are successful at least.

Seriously. I work at a movie theater that celebs come to almost every day. They're just people wanting to get away and see a movie. If we aren't a reliable safe space for them (interactions with other patrons aside), many probably wouldn't want to come anymore.

My wife met Joe Rogan and his wife at Disneyland while I was waiting in line with my daughter. Joe's wife asked her where she found a margarita and then my wife noticed who was standing next to this lady and she said it took every ounce of everything she had to not tell him "let me tell you something you might not know about me Joe Rogan". After it was all said and done it seemed like the right way to go about things. I think he was just trying to be there and hang out without a bunch of people hassling him.
Spent bunch of time with Joe Rogan because he's a huge gamer and I worked on Gears Of War with CliffyB and he's a mutual friend who'd geek out about getting to see what we're up to. He's super easy going, extremely smart and well read, very ADHD, loves talking about life, philosophy, neuroscience, futurology, actually he can hold a conversation on about anything. He knows more than you'd imagine when it comes to drugs and the brain and don't get him started on DMT.
He doesn't seem to care about talking about superficial/trivial/fame shit, but he's very real and one of the nicer people I've met.
Living in LA really surprises you when you realize how many of your idols are vapid, dull, neurotic or assholes when you really spend time with them. He's just a real guys guy who likes deep conversations and loves his family (so haven't seen him in a while)
My wife and I were staying at the same Disney World resort as Cobie Smulders and Taran Killam with their daughter. We saw them multiple times at the hotel and on transportation to/from Animal Kingdom and the Magic Kingdom. We're big HIMYM and MCU fans, so it was difficult not to say anything, but we didn't want to bother them on vacation, especially when running around the parks with kids can be exhausting enough on its own.
? are those actual people and things? never heard of any of it. weird.
edit - google tells me the first is a tv show I have never watched, the met your mother thing that the crazy drug addict was on, and the other is the "MCU: Municipal Credit Union"
Edit - nice of you not to bother these people whomever they are, especially with their kids. It can be awful for credit union employees-all the strangers bothering them all the time.
I saw Kenye and Kim Kardashian with their two kids at Disneyland and they had a whole crowd following them around, filming and taking pictures. I image it is really annoying for them when they are just trying to spend time with their kids.

I once worked at a subway sandwiches in LA like this. Celebs and porn stars would come in all the time because no one even acknowledged who they were. It was just so routine, like "Hey xzibit you want mayo and mustard". "Karupt you want white or wheat".
This was in Chatsworth, where 90% of porn was made at the time. Unlike celebrities the porn stars you could tell were just BEGGING to be noticed. I got a kick out of completely acting like I didn't notice who they were and they'd try super hard or even ask if I knew who they were and I'd be like "nah, you want jalapeรฑos on this?", but I would pronounce it like "all up in yas". Kids are dumb.
Dear god that's awful hahaha. Only porn star encounter as far as I know at my theater is Ron Jeremy, but he was wildly unassuming. Just a somewhat shlubby-looking dude.
Best you can do in that scenario is greet them by name. "Good evening Mr Seinfeld", etc.
I haven't worked with many celebs, but well... a as photo lab manager I regularly printed photos for a photog who did work for Nat Geo, Presidential campaigns, Dali Lama, etc... and the usual Cheap Trick photog came in somewhat regularly.
Even then, you just can't make a fuss over the fact that you're printing the Dali Lama's portraits... Keep it professional.
FWIW, I not only knew that Cheap Trick photographer by name, but I could recognize his cologne from the dark room whenever he entered the store.

Haven't directly served concessions to enough of them to make a claim one way or another, but depsite what /u/NotElizaHenry says I've been tipped a fair amount there. It's in no way expected, and it usually happens when their order includes wine or beer (exceptions sometimes though), but it does happen. Guests are often fairly well-off. Expensive tickets and whatnot.

Cuz you love acting, really. The fame aspect is just a gift/curse that comes with it for a small number of them. Worth it if that's all you wanna do with your life I guess.
They get paid millions of dollars and go into the business knowing that fame comes with it. I'm sorry but I don't find it very logical or rational that they expect 100% for people not to acknowledge their fame. If they want to be like most of the population then they should get paid the same. I understand that they as people want to be treated as such but that's life. Doctors are constantly going to get ask medical advice, comedians asked for jokes, all the way down to retail people being asked about their company and etc.. I don't find it fair they get to the power to pick and choose when they want to be famous.
Worse than that... I waited on Anthony Michael Hall. He was laid back. Waiters from other sections were bringing kids from their tables to meet him. I had to do my best to stop this. He even asked me to stop them from coming up.
From a management point of view, you don't have to ruin someone's livelihood over it.
First of all, what is management going to do? Send Jerry a letter, "Sorry about before, we fired that guy so please come back?"
Second of all, the RATIONAL management response is a one-to-one talk with the employee about how that's not appropriate and then ensure that employee isn't around celebrities in the future.
yeah you would think that... but some celebs HATE NOT BEING ACKNOWLEDGED EITHER. Some are real down to earth people who want to be treated normally but some are actual narcissists and want that special attention or like to talk about their roles/relive that moment. Its bunch of chance really.
My view on this issue is that celebrities are VERY well compensated, so them having to hear the same quotes over and over again seems to be a pretty small price to pay. Take into account that a vast majority of others are working multiple jobs and still only live paycheck to paycheck I really have no sympathy that they have to deal with what turns out to be a rather minor annoyance in the grand scheme of things.

Yeah, I'm sure it was funny the first dozen times he heard someone say that to him, but by the 1000th time I'm sure he was starting to grow a tad bit weary of it.
I do have to say, the "No soup for you!" would be more for Alexandra Wentworth or Julia Louis-Dreyfus, not Sienfeld.

Can you imagine being a celeb and having EMPLOYEES at the ski resort youre staying at say dumb shit to you over and over and over while youre there for a week? I have some wealthy and/or famous customers occasionally come in where I work and could really care less who they are and just treat them like anyone else.
The problem is that they get paid enough to have to deal with that sort of thing. I mean really. If I kept getting checks for work that I did 20 years ago, I wouldn't be whining about people who keep bringing it up time and time again.
It's not that though. Imaging being Kim Kardashian(I know people hate her but the example still works.) Constantly being flashed with cameras. People climbing over fences and using drones to take pictures of you. You would have no privacy.
Well you would also likely choose to spend that hard earned money at places where you wouldn't have to be "on" all the time. If I were famous, I would hope that I would be gracious to my fans and not an entitled jerk. But I would also pay top dollar to do activities that had a very low likelihood of having me spend my time listening to my movies quoted back to me and signing autographs.

To be fair, that's pretty standard for most dining or hospitality places.
you get them come in and for some they just appreciate not having a fuss made for them and being able to crack on.
Although TBF I worked in a somewhat rural arrea (in England terms) at the time.
One I do rememebr though was when we had Tony Robinson (Baldwick from blackadder for most people but known for many other roles) came in for a time team shoot nearby, the guys just drank a large amount of ale and were easily some of the best people to deal with. Largely because they got that straight forward dealing with.
Like we had a few that people wanted to react to, yet often it was best for business to just carry on as per normal, in passing it was maybe fine to say you enjoyed their work/ thanking them for their work, but no more than an idle thing as general chit chat.
Almost akin to having a bloke who works finance and asking them about their day. It's all phrasing and simple communication.
TBF though, we had some complete fuckups with keeping a lid on things so i could see why some places might have that rule, especially if they have a larger staff turnover.

I used to work at an ULTRA expensive hotel in Palm Beach about 4 miles from Mar a Lago, and Jerry visited our hotel frequently. Every worker at the hotel goes to 2 day training camp when they join that teaches you how to deal with celebrities (aka just treat them like everyone else, but better).
Jerry was a really nice guy, good tipper, AND he liked our concierge receptionist so much that he offered her a full time job as his personal assistant. She took it and now when he comes to visit she gets her own suite.

I suppose that makes sense. If you are used to getting them then you likely get the extra shit to make sure new hires don't freak out.
Can't say I've ever worked in a place that likely to house famous people so yeah.
The everybody else (but better) approach makes a little sense, as some may go batshit opposite to ignoring them out of risk of going too far into the fan crazy.
I have family that lives in this small city in Kentucky called MayField. My family and I would always stay at the same Super 8 motel and apparently Jerry stayed there once in their "suite" which was just two rooms combined into one and slightly nicer TV's. They had his room key framed and a signed picture of him. We got to stay in that suite once, it was neat.
There is a strange line to cross and not cross with celebs. They want the freedom of anonymity when they go out so they can act like regular people, but they expect to be treated like celebrities and to adhere to every minor whim they desire. But don't ask for their autographs.
Whenever they show the Time Team crew drinking at the end of the day it always looks so wholesome and fun
elboydo ยท 3 points ยท Posted at 23:19:08 on June 6, 2017 ยท (Permalink)
I can not lie. They are legit the most wholesome, fun, and relaxed people to watch drink several pints of ale each a night.
When working, you'd enjoy just being stood in the room keeping an eye on things as they just let off such a nice and wholesome vibe.
Even when they get back late they would be fully nice and respectful to any chance in circumstance.
I can't say anybody with them came across as rude (producers included), they were all some of the most respectful, fun, and kind people we have had.
When I was young I wanted to grow up to do their kinda stuff, sadly that never happened. Now though? I still kinda want to do it as it feels so wholesome and genuinely interesting. Meeting some of my childhood idols was far more than i expected.
So yeah, from somebody who had the pleasure of seeing them come and go when i was doing all shifts possible during break time in uni, they lived up to be every bit as wholesome, friendly, and kind as they are made out to be.
Also they never gave anything much away about their dig site, they would chat and joke about finds but never tell of the location. Deep respect for that as it would otherwise risk the site getting ruined over time
Mine too! I'm not British but I came across it on youtube. I opted for studying something that pays better than archaeology but Time Time gives me a little insight into that
I'm not into archaeology really, but something about their attitude just drags me in. I am so glad when I found it there was so much backlog to go through! I am in Aus, and although we have a long history, as far as finding artifacts like they do, it really only goes back 200 years or so we don't have the massive amount of stuff they do.
If I put it on, it clears the room :) My wife and kids are happy to ignore it - although my daughter has recently started to hang about...

I think we all want that fuss . . .
Well except some who make a point to refuse it, yet end up getting the same just without the formalities.
Oh god no. I can't imagine it's that uncommon to just find it offputting. Being treated like a delicate flower who can't do anything for themselves just feels gross.
It's all how you do it. If you send an extra dish or free dessert just saying, hey thanks for stopping by, appreciate your work ;). They love it every time, if you act in any way like some teenager freaking out over The Beatles, everyone enters the cringe zone.
We'd have a certain NBA superstar and former husband of a Kardashian come into the restaurant I used to work at. Weren't allowed to ask for autographs or do anything outside treat them like a regular customer. Unless they pull the diva card, then fulfill their every whim ๐

He really took the whole hookers and blow thing too far
I worked at a hotel and we had a few celebrities stay with us. I once checked in Hulk Hogan and he was awesome.. he was taking pictures with everyone and had no problem with people coming up to him. Seeing him walk into the lobby had me a little starstruck. Another one that was pretty cool was Johnny Knoxville, he walked in at 11PM one night to check in. We looked at the reservations from that day and had no idea he was coming in later since the reservation was under his REAL name lol.
Tony Robinson and Jerry Seinfeld are pretty disparate in terms of level of fame

My old roommate worked at a movie theater in Chicago and was well regarded for his celebrity blindness. He'd try to upsell Harold Ramis on the popcorn size or playfully give John Cusack shit for not just getting the combo because his family didn't prepare a purchasing strategy.
Inevitably a coworker would have to explain who the person was and why they were famous.
Only time he got starstruck was when some economics academic came through. Dude's interest was an inch wide and ten miles deep.
Once you've been a celeb for a while, it would probably be delightful to be treated just like a normal person for once (provided you're still getting good service). I read a post a few weeks ago about how Matthew McConaughey's car broke down in bumfuck Ohio and a bunch of locals came out to give him a hand, they had no idea who he was and it made it that much more a wonderful experience for him, just getting to be a normal regular dude again for a few hours. He jokes that he wants to retire to that town based on how he was treated there.
I bet many celebs loved being treated like an average Joe by your good-natured friend.
I saw Dave Chapelle's stand up, and before the show we were told that anyone who yells "I'm Rick James Bitch" or any of the beloved catch phrases would be immediately kicked out of the show.
Yeah redditors don't understand the places that cater to celebrities as relaxing escape live or die by their ability to filter the fan disturbance. Having an employee be the source of the noise would be pretty damning if it got out. Individually it might not sound bad but celebrities feel constantly harassed and pay good money to escape that.
I think you should be able to get away with a "Thank you for coming in Mr./Ms. So and So, love your work." If you were already having an appropriate/necessary interaction with them.
This is true. I worked in a hotel where Arnold Schwarzenegger stayed and he tried to get people fired for asking for his autograph. What's worse is that he constantly tried to pick up the front desk girls and come up to his room for some hot tubbing, and yes he was married at the time.

My dad worked for WB Studios on the set for the Batman movie with Arnold S playing Mr Freeze. Dad drove him around all the time on the set and worked on the special effects team as well (that was my dads job). At the end of the months and months of shooting, my dad asked Arnold for his autograph for my brother who was a huge fan. Arnold turned around and told my dad to go F**k himself.
During that same period, my wife worked in a mall food court, Arnold came in with the wife and kids, people were in awe. She saw some kids go up to him and ask for his autograph. He completely ignored them.
No,, "I'm sorry, I'm spending time with my family or anything like that. Just a pure asshole.

Once I saw Aziz Ansari at a gin bar in Chicago but I didn't mess with him because he seem to be entertaining a small entourage with a few cuties. Maybe he wasn't single or one was his GF, or no mackin' was happening. But I didn't want to fuck up his dealio. \m/ I got'choo bro.

My cousin worked at a fancy hotel with this same rule. One night Michael Jordan walks in and later when he left one of the bellhops asked for his autograph. The Manager later went to the bellhop and told him "the autograph or your job." The kid handed over the autograph and then the Manager ripped it in half and fired him.
Worked at a medical marijuana shop in SoCal with fairly frequent celebs; over-the-top fanboying was out of the question but a simple "Pleasure to meet you, love your work" wasn't ever ill-received.
Then again, there were also dozens of celebs I didn't even realize were famous until my coworkers told me after-the-fact so I literally just treated them like a normal person.
Same here I worked at a Cinemark by George Lucas's house.

This is definitely a policy. Worked at Planet Hollywood, when that was actually a thing. Met Bruce Willis and his table and later that night Sly Stallone's brother, that weird one, he came in too. It was some owner's thing, they had to be there. Mr. Willis was a total gentleman, he didn't leave the tip his buddy did but it was very good. And he ordered his food himself, like a fucking person, by pointing at the pictures on the menu. Later I made a bad joke about the beer selection, remembered that he was a co-owner of the joint and I shouldn't be dissing his place. But he laughed, told me a joke about something on the menu that looked like shit too, so that was funny. Very down to earth guy. There were other celebs there that night that were acting like total shits though. Also, totally not related but funny - when our Planet Hollywood finally closed down they didn't tell us it was happening. They gave everyone two days off while the restaurant got some "remodeling" done. We show up to work and there is a piece of paper taped to the door saying the place was closed. Got my final paycheck like 6 months later right before tax season.
On to the next one. I never work at one place for more than a year anyway cause if I did I'd go insane.

It's like that time I worked in a call center and was told that I wasn't allowed to call the callers "sir" or "ma'am." I wasn't in the habit of doing that before, but now it's almost a compulsion. I still do it and haven't worked there in a decade.
I've personally worked in places that had celebs come in and we were told, explicitly, that we cannot acknowledge their Fame.
Tom DeLonge once came into my place of work once with his girlfriend/wife/whatever. I was working at a granite slab yard in San Diego and I was on my break on a Saturday, smoking a cigarette and playing hacky-sack with my co-worker. I was only on break because it was Saturday and Saturday was for appointments only, and we were between appointments.
When he walked in and couldn't get any help he asked if we would help him. I was a big fan of Blink-182 at the time so I knew who he was, but I was smoking and he was interrupting my hacky-sacking when we were about to break our record, so I said "sorry, I'm busy." He was all, "busy smoking and playing hacky sack?" And Inwas all "yep" and asked him if he had an appointment. He said no; he didn't know he had to make one. I told him to go to the front office and make an appointment for next Saturday, or come back on Monday and wait with the general public. He was like, "can't you just help me now; your just playing hacky-sack," which distracted me and the bag hit the ground.
I got irritated and was all, "What the fuck, man; I just told you I'm busy! Go make an appointment or come back on Monday with the general public!"
He was like, "Alright, thanks," and left.
The dude I was playing hacky with was all, "Fuck, you idiot, do you know who that was," and I was like, "Yeah... Tom from Blink, right? That's fucking cool, but what a dick for fucking up our chance to break our record."
We both thought for sure we were gonna get fired. Nope. Monday rolls around and here's Tom Delonge from Blink-182, shopping for granite slabs with the general public... He was with a different forklift crew but when he saw us he nodded hello. His girlfriend/wife/whatever sure gave me some stinkeye, though...

Yeah same, I once had a table with Mrs Doyle from Father Ted at it, and was a 5 course meal. So when it came to the tea and coffee, I so wanted to just make a tea joke, but would've been worth my job.
Yeah - I was once hire for a job because they had a lot of celebrities come through, and when asked how I would deal with that, I admitted that I'm shamefully unaware of who like 99% of celebrities are, so I would just treat them like anyone else.
Worked in recording studios and yup. They said the exact same thing.

Lol, when I was working at a restaurant in relatively smaller city in New Mexico, Baby Bash came into town. He had the one hit wonder, "Suga Suga". We were told by our boss to address him as 'Bash' or 'Beesh' and ask him if we could have a photo after his meal, even if we didn't want a photo.

But I play the theme to top gun every time a customer enters the store. But when Tom Cruise struts in, suddenly it's aaaaaaaall about him!
I've been in that scenario, and completely ignored it. Sometimes, there are people who just pop up in front of you that you've looked up to your whole life, and you have the urge to express some feelings of gratitude. I met Steven Tyler working at a high end retail outlet, and I had to go up to him and tell him how awesome I thought he was. He responded by saying how awesome he thought I was. Amazing experience.
Edit: forgot that I had Mackuly Culkin and his brothers as regulars at a Gamestop I worked at. They're great people, and shooting the shit with them as constantly as I was able to was a highlight of working there.
We never had an actual policy about it, but Viggo Mortonson would come into my store once in a while. I acted like he was a normal customer. My coworkers would make a big deal about it, but he came back looking for me.
I really think most famous people prefer to go under the radar.
I used to work at the official hotel of the Dallas Cowboys. The team stayed the night before every home game. We had an Eagles fan on the payroll that decided to BOO the entire bus as it pulled up onto the front drive, while repeatedly chanting "ya bums".
Needless to say, he was fired for acknowledging their celebrity status.
Same here. With the caveat that they can bring it up first.
I have terrible celeb-radar so it was never an issue for me until after I talked to someone famous and my coworkers would be like "you were so calm talking to ___," and I'd respond with "who?"
I used to work in a cafe that was in the same building as the federal office of Australia + various high flying law firms/accounting firms (think Ernst & Young (accounting)/DLA Piper(law)). We would always have the Prime Minister, celebs, sports stars etc coming through and generally speaking, we were told to treat them like a normal customer.
Obviously you could swing this a bit if there weren't many customers around, but generally we were told to keep it low key.
Yep. Lots of famous people come into my job, we can't acknowledge their fame. It would make the place look terrible and these people want to get away from all the fans sometimes
In Nova Scotia that's called normal reaction to celebrities.
You act normal, don't actively engage them unless serving them, then when you get home you tell all your friends and family about how you saw/served said celebrity.
Then they ask you if you said anything or got an autograph, then you reply with "well, I didn't want to bother them" and they all nod in approval.
Jerry did an AmA in which he stated that nothing is less funny to a comedian than having their own material quoted back at them. I mean, can you imagine the number of seinfeld references made to him every single time he's in public?
I've always wondered if musicians get annoyed when people cover their songs. Or even worse.... tattoo the musician's lyrics on their body and then share it with them via social media.
I think it's a little different for songs, but also depends on the musician and who is covering them. Like I'm sure NiN loved that Johnny Cash covered their song, but maybe Donald Glover is getting tired of the Redbone parodies.
Speaking of Donald Glover, there's a great scene in Atlanta where a fan just starts rapping Paper Boi's own lyrics at him. I've seen this happen in person and it is just as awkward as it looks
Actually Trent Reznor said he initially hated Johnny covering his song, "it felt like someone fucking your girlfriend" was his quote I believe. It was only after he saw the music video that he appreciated his cover.
Nothing would please me more than to be stuck waiting in a line with Jerry and give absolutely no indication that I know who he is for a long time before just casually saying, "What's the deal with this line"? 100% deadpan.
Nah restaurants/events are super strict with about that kind of stuff because most people wants that shit while relaxing on their time off. The higher ups want these people to come back of course. It's not like Seinfeld just appeared the staff are briefed don't photograph or fan over a celeb. Just work your job.
Of course when you are a waiter, a selfie with Rihanna may just be the right price for you to willingly get fired from your job.

Nah it's gotta be annoying. It's really rude to treat them like you know them. They spend all day dealing with fame. When they go to a restaurant, they just wanna be treated like everybody else.
I understand that, but there are ways to communicate that to an employee that aren't as drastic as firing them. It could be this wasn't the first time that employee did something like that though in which case it'd be different.
Sure I could see maybe reprimanding the employee, but do you really think it's worth firing someone over?

Why not? Because if Jerry Seinfeld then went onto some sort of public channel and talked about how unprofessional and dumb someone was acting at xyz ski resort, it can totally screw that place.
It's a ski resort, not passing someone on the street. It's a vacation, a getaway. If someone jeopardized repeat business from unarguably the most valuable class of customers I'd cut them too. I want people that know not to piss off celebrities.
I wouldn't, as an employee, go up to Bill Clinton and start pantomiming saxophone... because I know stuff.
Is It? How many times do you think he's heard that? Or other one liners from Seinfield? The man probably has a complex about ordering entree's because if he orders anything other than soup he's setting himself up for that line. Not to mention the countless other food references from the show you could throw at him.
When he pays top-dollar to stay at a resort, he's not paying for a comfy bed, or a pool, or room services - he's undoubtably got all that at home. He's paying top dollar because he wants to take his family skiing and be left alone, to not have slobbering fans badly quote him, or ask for autographs, or try and hug him. He's paying top dollar to be ignored so he can be with his family.
Then some jackass waiter comes up to him and says that.. I'd complain too.
Yep. Just look at any retail or customer service sub here. Filled with people practically bashing their head into cement over lame "HAHA, IT DIDN'T RING UP - GUESS IT'S FREE" shit that you hear from customers on the reg. Now imagine people doing that when you're aren't even on the job and you're not being paid and you're VACATIONING.
Nah, it's customer service. Celebrities are people too, and they don't wanna hear you repeat their own jokes back at them. That guy was a fucking idiot who demonstrated very poor judgement.
not really, its pretty un-professional to do. those in the service industry should know its impolite. People dont go out and pay money to have to do a song and dance for you or laugh at your jokes just because your famous. If they are nice and in a good mood then they will strike up a conversation with you

i've worked in hospitality for years, that is definitely somethin you shouldn't do. if they're checking out/leaving the restaurant, maybe a quick hey, love your work, hope everything was good, have a great night. firing might be severe, but i'd imagine this wasn't their first issue with management either.
you're there to serve. that's your job. you aren't there to make a spectacle of someone that is paying your employer to provide them with some sort of comfort/luxury/etc.
imagine if you went on a weekend getaway and a complete stranger walked up wanting to talk about what you do for work. hell fucking no.
Restaurant/Hospitality managers are the most desperate human beings on the planet. Jerry probably sighed loudly and the manager fired the guy on the spot and "paid for his meal".
Seems like everybody here loves Jerry Seinfeld, but he honestly just seems like an asshole. I don't care if he "doesn't give a fuck," it's shitty to react that way to a fan trying to give you a hug.
I can tell who isn't a grad student or doesn't know someone in grad school when they think it isn't a real job. I work way more for less money than your average 9-5.
Not really the point of their conversation, but okay. No one said it isn't work. But being a student is in no way comparable to working a customer service job. It doesn't mean one is "better" or "worse" - or that one is harder - just that they're not the same.
Hence the relatively high amount of nonspecialized college graduates (so, degrees that don't lead to a specific job) who are losing job opportunities to people with work experience instead of a degree.
I can attest. It's pretty annoying to have people come up to you and your family just to get a handshake or an autograph or picture. Sure, most folks are nice about it and will oblige but there's a level of intrusion that never goes away. It's basically like a non-existent sign that says "please come talk to me no matter what the circumstance is".

I disagree. If Jerry Seinfeld stops coming to his favorite ski resort (I know nothing of where this was--just a hypothetical) then that's thousands and thousands of dollars he cost the company, especially if they're known to cater to the famous often.
I actually got to meet him backstage at one of his shows in Atlantic City. He was kind of a dick. Definitely got the vibe he felt there was so many other things he'd rather be doing.
I would honestly feel the same way. I do a lot of creative things but I do them for only two reasons, for myself and for my job (which is still for me, but different and less important). When it comes to what I feel is important in life; (1) The pleasure of doing what I'm doing (2) My Job (3) Dealing with literally everything else except for... (4) The expectations of others.
He's human and has the right not to fake excitement at meeting strangers who like him. Not everyone is that way, but when they are, let them be. They're not dicks, they're just strangers who make something you enjoy.
But I can't belive he actually orders soup in restaurants. If I were him I'd only make my own soup at home.

My buddy once said he'd buy me a slice of Pizza if I asked the Fonz to say "Eyyyy". I did and it was pretty uncomfortable (as expected). It sounded more like "eh" than anything. We walked away and I got a free slice of Fan Expo pizza which was probably really expensive.
Uncle's friend's son was an electrician. We'll call him Kevin. Kevin's boss tells him one morning, "Kevin, today you're going to a famous guy's house. Don't look at or acknowledge him if you see him. He is very private." Kevin goes to job and is working outside the garage. He hears a car pull up into the driveway, car door open and close, and footsteps walk up the tile driveway. Tempted and fighting against his will, he turns around. It's Kobe Bryant. Kevin goes "hey" and nods. the mamba raises his hand and nods. And walks inside. A week later, Kevin is fired.
One time a guy that looked strikingly like Gary Coleman came in and started working at the same place as me, a call center. The next day, he wasn't there, and we had an office wide meeting about how he WAS Gary Coleman, and that we can NOT say "what'chu talkin' 'bout willis?" and we weren't to talk to him unless it was just regular conversation IF he is sitting next to you... and to try to not start conversation, just let him be.
I was tempted to go find a t-shirt that said the phrase on it, but just as quickly as he came, he was gone. He quit within a week.
My old master chef said that to Julia and she got mad and complained to his boss and he got in a lot of trouble. He said she's a bitch but I'm sure shit gets old
Yeah what an epic tale, she repeatedly asked Jerry Seinfeld for a hug, as he repeatedly turned her down. Tell the grandkids about that one, you could just see the Seinfeld knowledge coursing through her as she said "please, just a little one?".
Nah, it's literally just the word cringe that gets on my nerve, because of its connotation.

I hear you, I agreed once, but I have some advice.
Stop caring.It makes you sleep much better and earlier without dicks on the internet being irritating or stupid.
My favorite quote (albeit paraphrased due to my memory but remains the same in spirit):
"I would get to sleep on time every night, if only there was not people on the internet who are wrong!"
Call Me Maybe came out 6 years ago
Smells Like Teen Spirit came out 26 years ago
Billie Jean came out 34 years ago
Hey Jude came out 49 years ago
Beethoven finished his fifth symphony 209 years ago
Look you can do this "i'm too cool for mainstream music" thing that redditors love to do, or you can grow up and admit to yourself and the world that ke$ha made some bangers.
I had to google her to see who she was, I went and listened to some of her work. I judged it to be ignorant pop music. That you can bob your head to it but when you listen to the lyrics realize it only champions greed, materialism and commercialism. she released a couple albums years ago and hasn't produced anything new in 5 years. I owe her about as much recognition as Seinfeld. "she's kesha" - "oh".

I'm just not a fanboy who drools over every pop musician that comes along. Rich white girl sings about partying, and niggas in the hood. I don't relate.
I believe it was posted on Reddit that she got in a huge dispute over her recording company. Sony won't let her go until she makes several more albums, kesha wants to do her next albums somewhere else.

Good for you. I have neckbeard friends in their mid thirties who feel anything with a laugh track is beneath them. They don't know what they're missing
The problem is that not everything in a comedy is laugh-out-loud funny. Some things deserve a chuckle, others are weird setups to jokes, and some things just barely make you smile. But some shows take all of these and put a roar of laughter them.
Watching a few seasons of Seinfeld should be a mandatory coming-of-age ritual for young adults in America.. There have been so many moments in my life where I said to myself "This is something George Costanza would do - and George is a despicable human being" and it helped me make the right decision.

Ke$ha was 11 when the show ended, that shouldn't be a surprise.
If I saw him in person (and if I had the stones) I'd probably say "hey Jerry love your work" or something to that effect and then leave him alone. Asking for a full body handshake is setting yourself up for failure.
Also, is anyone surprised he's never heard of her? Like nothing against Kesha but I cannot think of anything less Seinfeld than Tik Tok

Keyshia Cole (born October 15, 1981) is an American singer/songwriter, record producer, business woman, and television personality. She was born in Oakland, California. Her career began when she met MC Hammer at the age of 12, and later met rapper Tupac Shakur. At the age of 18, she moved to Los Angeles and was later introduced to A&M Records.
Ooooh, really? That's what actually happened to her? Wow, that stinks. But does that mean that her claims that her producer was abusing her was a hoax for attention?

That could be an entire seinfeld episode in itself.
kramer slides in, wiping himself from head to toe, glitter spilling onto Jerry's floor
"What is this! in high pitched jerry voice"
'It's everywhere Jerry! EVERYWHERE!'
Or something like that. What's the subreddit where they write seinfeld?
At first I really kind of thought Seinfeld was a jerk for this (I have never been a fan of the show, come at me reddit), but once I thought about it some more, it really makes more sense to turn her down. He's on camera, who knows what kind of silly-ass game she's playing, especially if he doesn't know her. Probably just an innocent hug, but maybe it's a setup for an internet meme of some kind, he has no idea. Better to look like a jerk than step in shit, so to speak.
Exactly, she's still coated in glitter from years past. You're never really cured from glitter, best you can hope for is remission for a while between flares.

Yeah, maybe not full blown fat, but looks overweight at the very least. I was visiting some family a week or two ago and there were commercials for this drag show, and Kesha was on it. Doesn't even look like the same person.
No, she fucking doesn't. She looks bigger than she was, that isn't over weight. The fact she got over an eating disorder means it was pretty likely she was underweight at the time.
Glitter is like herpes, never goes away. I had a friend dressed as a sparkly fairy ride in my car years ago on Halloween and I still find but a of it when I'm detailing the vehicle.
Someone glitter bombed the inside of my car in high school. That was like 10 years ago, and I still find glitter in there, even though I've vacuumed and detailed that car dozens of times by now. Every time I think I got it all, more eventually shows up.
No, not on purpose at least. It's a '70s muscle car, and the vents are almost wide open, especially the ones near the windshield. There was like a half inch layer of glitter on everything inside the car, so I'm sure a bunch of glitter got into the vents. We're slowly restoring the car, so hopefully it'll all be out by the time we're done lol
I love muscle cars! What are you restoring? I'm working on my first-ever restoration myself, it's not a muscle car but it's got a lot of sentimental value and it's in pretty good shape so it's a good project for a beginner.
1976 Pontiac Firebird Trans Am! This is the first time we've ever restored a car as well, and it has a lot of sentimental value for me since it was my first car. It was actually in great shape when we first got it in 2006. It sat in a garage for ten years before we got it, and had no issues driving it from California to Oklahoma. It's been a fun little project over the years.
Hello, fellow Pontiac enthusiast! Trans Ams are awesome! I'd love to see a pic. My project is a 1993 Bonneville. I got it in college and it was my first "nice" car. I've had it for 20 years now, but she's been resting in my garage for maybe 7 years or so. My daily driver is a silver 2004 Grand Prix GTP, supercharged. Nothing fancy, but it's a lot of fun to drive and I really like it.
Yeah, it's pretty easy for actors to not get noticed in crowded cities like NY. People can't process all of the faces around them and unless they look exactly like they usually do on TV and are looking right at you, odds are the vast majority would not recognize them, the rest would think you looked like that celebrity but couldn't possibly be them. Of course if they have bodyguard looking people around them or someone filming them or taking their photos, then people will know it's got to be someone famous and then try to figure out who.
Some friends and I met Kesha backstage at an EODM show and had no idea it was her, even asked her what her name was. She was so nice about it and introduced herself to all of us, asked what our names were, shot the shit and smoked a J. I've never been into her music, but from that encounter she seemed like a real cool girl
The man has a very large collection of porsches I think if he can distinguish porsches from each other he can do the same with humans.
(I am trying to make a joke because 911s all look the same, not to me but most people who aren't porsche nerds.)
This is the first time I've ever seen what she looks like. Well, knowingly that is. Maybe I had before but had no idea who I was looking at so I didn't care.
Though, to be fair, I only heard of her like, 2 years ago at most?
Really? I don't find it that hard to believe he doesn't know who she is. Why is it hard to believe that an actor doesn't keep up with all the pop singers coming and going?
She wasn't that big. Yeah a couple bigger hits, but not anything sustained for years like some other artists.

I think he would probably find even that little interaction annoying. He just wants to go about his day.
One of my proudest moments of my city was when Robin Williams came to town to shoot something and he entered the same Starbucks I happened to be in on the main strip. Everyone recognized him, everyone noticed he came in, and everyone left him in peace while he had a friendly conversation with the baristas for a few moments before leaving.
I'm sure he knew he would have been free to join any table in that coffee shop, but he just wanted to get a coffee and be on his way.
There was an interview he did where he stated he doesn't mind interacting with fans, he sees it as part of the job. He just requests basic things like no touching him and to be respectful.

Five of us in high school ran up to him a little too eagerly. He said he was off to lunch and couldn't sign anything, But took time to say hi and shake each of our hands. 9/10 wasn't disappointed.
Drove a taxi a long time ago in nyc. One night driving in soho saw Johnny Knoxville, shouted Johnny! The dude came over and shook my hand was on his way

I'm sure he didn't mind a little of it - he seemed more than happy to take a picture with a few tweens after he left. But it was clear he also loved people talking to him like a normal human being and not just screaming asking for autographs and pictures.
Many years ago, ran into Danny Glover during lunch. The friends who were with us completely freaked out, started pointing fingers at Danny, and kept trying to take pictures.
Eventually, Danny Glover comes over, asks my friends to please get a grip on reality and finish their lunch. He promised, if they let him finish his lunch in peace, he'll take a picture with us later.
And true to his word, when we were about to walk out, he joins us outside, grabs our camera and hands it to a random passer-by, so that we'd get a nice group picture. Super cool guy! He truly went above and beyond despite my friends having been so obnoxious.

No but you're also very famous and well known. Part of that involves interacting with fans everywhere you go and you should honestly try to be nice to all of them even if it is the 100th time you said hi that day. After all they're the reason you're famous.

I don't think Jerry came off as rude or anything in this case. I mean, he said "No thanks". Twice.
No one should have to be hugged if they don't want to, even if they are famous.
I don't think "Nothanks" would be most people's reaction to someone you don't know wanting to hug you while your talking to someone when "Fuckoff" is right there begging to be used.
Yes, famous for doing a job. However, it'd be more polite of a mind-set to have when they are "off the clock". There is no obligation to "entertain" when out grocery shopping, or simply out in public trying to live one's life. Immediately afterwards at, say, a movie premier, a concert they gave, a theatre production they were in, or sporting event....that would be the more appropriate and preferable time to approach with a quick and brief acknowledgement of fandom. Otherwise, eye contact and a quick nod/smile will suffice. (I know someone who is a Hollywood agent for some big names, and he's told some horror stories of people's wackadoo expectations when they are confronted with the opportunity to "glomp" his clients.)
Agreed. If someone is low key and just wants to say they appreciate your life's work, it's beyond rude to make them feel like shit about it imo. I've only done it a handful of times but everyone was always very nice about it.
Though in Robin Williams' case, I have a hard time imaginging he ever really turned off. I'm sure he did; he was just more of a natural entertainer than most people. Insatiable.
I remember reading that one of the most annoying / creepiest things for celebrities is the way people approach them and call them by name and act almost like an acquaintance, while that person to the celebrity is a total stranger.
It's weird because to the average person, a celebrity does feel like someone they've known for a long time. It can be easy to lose sight of the fact that we're all strangers to them and how uncomfortable it can be to interact with a stranger at all, much less one who seems to know you.
That's so awesome that everyone left him alone. It's so annoying when people post those "Guess who I found at the grocery store pics?!?!?!" of them with a celebrity and you can just tell they hate their life everytime they get asked for a picture.
Well this was back in the day when cell phones had shitty cameras and facebook didn't exist. Celebrity culture and paparazzi did though. Actually it was shortly after the term "paparazzi" became common. So it would have been much more likely for someone to ask him for an autograph than anything else.
Although a bunch of overly excited tween girls did mob him for a second as he was leaving and got a picture (with an actual camera) with him.
Seriously though, it was amazing he was being left alone as much as he was. This was literally the major intersection in the major upscale shopping district on a weekend night in Vancouver and there were hundreds of young people walking about.
I would never ever try to disrupt someone I look up to with that amount of fame. Its an everyday thing for them even if its an one in a million thing for you. I think at most you make eye contact and wave, I am sure they know that you recognize them. Or maybe MAYBE even wait for a super appropriate time (not in the bathroom you cretins) walk up say excuse me I love your work, shake their hand and let them be on their way.

Lol this totally reminds me of a time I made eye contact for a second with someone in an airport public bathroom, we were both standing using the wall urinals. Anyway so I go back to peeing and I'm watching where I'm aiming and just blurted out "oh it's fucking Magneto" when I realized who was next to me. Hugh Jackman is his name I think? It was cool and not awkward though. He laughed, I laughed, but please don't let this distract you from the fact that in 1998, The Undertaker threw Mankind off Hell In A Cell, and plummeted 16 ft through an announcer's table.
Unless you happened to stand next to him as the next CoD or Zelda was releaed and talked nerd with him. I get the idea he would have loved to nerd out.

He used to come by the ski shop my husband worked at pretty often. Everyone there knew him and just sort of let him do his thing, while making normal sales person conversation. It was pretty cool, i think!
Thats common with celebs until that first seal is broken. They are left alone, but people stare. Once one person walks up and asks for a photo, and everyone sees they are okay with it, a crowd will form.
But that's exactly what didn't happen. As he was leaving, three tweens ran up and got a photo with him. Not a single person in the coffee shop joined in. We all just laughed at the starstruck girls and continued our conversations. Not a single person moved and neither did anyone from the street.
Seriously though, he seemed to love the fact he could just be a normal person in a major city mingling with general public. No body guards, no entourage, no nothing.
I think that was probably better for his mental health than the Hollywood celebrity mobbing culture.
But I just have to mention because so many people don't understand:
The guy was hit by a horrible disease. It wasn't (just?) depression. No, he was hit by a disease which was fucking horrible, which killed him by degrees. Which fucked with his mind like dementia.
Yeah if something every happens to me that severely damages me mentally, I hope I strength to end my life. The same if I end up living every day in severe pain to due some physical issue. If I exhaust every option and there's nothing else I can try, and it isn't likely to ever get better, I don't want to be alive anymore. That feels like a very valid reason to end your life and I can't fault anyone who choses to do so in situations like that.

When I saw that comment about him being ignored in the shop I thought about making the same joke but wasn't sure how Reddit would feel about it. Now I know. Thank you for your service.
Just saw him this past weekend at Comedy Central's Clusterfest and as Jerry Seinfeld came out the crowd cheered "JE-RRY! JE-RRY!" in the Jerry Springer manner.
He probably has heard of her, but doesn't recognize her face. If I was famous I would probably care a lot less about "stars" too. Especially if I was Jerry Seinfeld.
Being content with who you are probably helps. And that's probably Seinfeld's excuse.
Another excellent excuse is being face-blind :-) With a few notable exceptions I simply cannot tell celebrities apart. That makes it incredibly easy to simply not give a crap about the personality cult that most people have for their stars.
As much as I hate being face-blind when interacting with peers, I feel it is extremely liberating to simply not care at all about so-called famous people.
N.b. Seinfeld is in fact one of the few celebrities who I would recognize. He is sufficiently distinct in both appearance and mannerism that even I can't help but notice. I still can't be bothered to get excited about him, though.

You'd have to make a much bigger impression than that if you're hoping to become friends. I think I'd say, "HELLO NEWMAN, do you remember that?" and then just let the conversation happen naturally.
He said one guys that caught his attention was someone who approached him saying "I know you hate everyone.." and Jerry said he stopped him and laughed and told him he could have a picture or autograph or whatever he wanted. It's gotta be hard to make him laugh though

I work at a movie theater and he came in once for a private screening of something while he was in town. Some of our owners and CEOs came by to meet him and one of our CEOs gave him a bucket of popcorn with a bunch of boxes of Junior Mints in it...trying to be funny, I guess. After they all dispersed, Jerry came over to where an employee and I were standing and said "I don't want this...do you want it?" and handed us the bucket. We laughed and said we don't but we'll take it from you. He seemed nice but not overly friendly...it was a funny though.
My friend ran into him in times square a few years back. They both saw each other and she says he had that look like, shit I've been recognised and this person is going to say something. Which she tried to but couldn't form any words. He just stared for a bit and walked off. Hilariously embarrassing for her.
Hasn't she been in the news again recently though in relation to the ongoing revelation of abuse/sexual assault by one of her former producers? Apologize in advance if I'm getting things confused...
I think I'd say, "I love you so much. Can I give you a hug? Please? A little one."

I might give him a headnod if he was looking at me, but that's it. Why does everyone half to do something or say something when they see a celebrity? They're just people. You don't have to worship them.
I feel like I'm reading your comment wrong, cause the last part doesn't make sense. You're surprised he's never heard of Kesha, but then go on to say she's the absolute opposite of Seinfeld. So why are you surprised he's never heard of her?
First of all, sorry I didn't reply when it was relevant, my inbox was a little crazy that day. I've read the comments over a couple times and here's what I think happened - you read my comment as:
Also, is anyone else surprised he's never heard of her?
When what I actually wrote was:
Also, is anyone surprised he's never heard of her?
If I'd said the former then yes, my comment would've made no sense. I'd be contradicting myself by saying I was 'surprised he'd never heard of Kesha' and then following it up with 'she's the absolute opposite of Seinfeld' in the same breath.
I was asking the thread if they were surprised by the fact he didn't know who she was, implying that it wasn't a shock to me at all. I hope this helped!
I'd probably say "hey Jerry love your work" or something to that effect and then leave him alone.
Offer your name. I hear this from a lot of celebrities, they find it weird how everybody knows their name but don't offer up their own name, and it makes for a one-way exchange. From what I've been told from celebrities, the best thing you can say is "Hey Mr Seinfeld, my name's Omar and I love your work".
From what I understand the guy is just into cars and comedy, and that's pretty much it. Like he loves his family, but in the world of celebrity if you're not doing stand up or in comedy he's probably not paying attention.
If I ever saw him in person I'd probably just give him a smile and a nod.

I saw him at the Massapequa Diner (later found out it was the end point of his drive across america in a VW van, or something). I just noticed him, thought "Hey! It's Jerry Seinfeld!" and let him eat his lunch.
To be fair, I did meet him when he came to my High School and met with the class. It was after a season of his show, before it got really popular and I hadn't seen it, yet, but knew who he was. Have a signed photo from that day around here somewhere...

Until this video I had heard the name Kesha and knew she's probably involved in music but I have no idea what style or what she looks like.
with how he looks now, I might accidentally go "I loved you in aladdin!"
"I wasn't in aladdin."
"I mean yeah, you werent cause it was animated, but you were the voice of the parrot, Iago!"
Think about it this way, if you do go for the hug and it gets awkward, then you just gave Jerry Seinfeld a least 10 minutes worth of new stand up material.

I'd give him the ole "what up" nod. That, or I had the opportunity to interact with him I'd act annoyed with everything.

No need to bug someone who doesn't need the encouragement. These are more dares people do with themselves than anything productive or enjoyable. And it feels like an are-you-an-asshole test to most of the famous people.
He talks about his favorite celebrity experience was walking up to a store in a small town in Nebraska or something and a guy just casually said, "hi jerry" as he walked by.
Same never heard of her, I am an oldie though in my 40s. I felt bad for her though seemed nice enough and she was a cute kid why not give her that hug! I feel the same way though if a cute puppy wants a lick and you don't let them have it.
If I saw him in person (and if I had the stones) I'd probably say "hey Jerry love your work" or something to that effect and then leave him alone.
Just leave these people alone unless you're in a situation where you'd naturally talk to someone. You don't gain anything from it. It just annoys them. You're just going to hate yourself for not being cooler. Best to just let it go. Tell your barista you like their work instead.

Jerry came by my cubicle and sat down on a nearby armchair and asked me what I was working on. He was being friendly and curious during the production of the Bee Movie. Unfortunately I was working on really boring stuff and I told him I was painting dirt and rocks for an environment. It sucked the enthusiasm right out of him. He sorta just gathered his strength and left.
THat's what I always think when I imagine what I would do if I met a famous person that I love and/or respect.
So far the only famous person I've ever seen irl was Brian Posehn, he came in and got pizza while I was working and I thought about saying something but instead I just stared at him awkwardly the whole time he was in line.
At first I wasn't sure it was him so I searched him on my phone and sure enough he had just finished a show at a venue a block away. In the end I put myself in his shoes and figured being bothered by the pizza guy is the last thing he would want, he probably gets sick of people treating him like a famous person all the time, that's how I would feel.
You got your upside down pantograms, you got your sacrificial poultry, you got your evil diety worshipping, you got your blood and other bodily fluids everywhere. I mean, is that whole mess really necessary?
That's the best thing to remember if you see a celebrity/tv personality/sports dude.
It's applicable to pretty much every scenario and you come off like a normal human being. "I love your work" is a great thing to remember. Remembering it prevents the awkward, "Hey man, you're awesome. I love you!"
Or you could...leave them alone entirely and just tell the story about that one time you saw them in person. I honestly do not understand peoplesโ need to say something if they see a celebrity.
Because people would like to interact with their idol and it's most likely a once in a lifetime chance to ask questions or tell them how they feel? Not to mention that it makes them feel special because it's an experience not everyone can have?
I obviously know that this is the justification for it, but itโs selfish. How do you know that the celebrity wants to give you their attention at that exact moment? Thatโs not something you should just assume. It may be once in a lifetime for you but it happens to them everywhere they go and can become exhausting.
Because you're FAMOUS. Like jerry said (who does not like it most of the time), "Its part of my job" to which the interviewer responds, "the alternative is nobody knows who you are." If you don't like that stuff so much then you're not gonna be famous.
Yeah they accept it but most celebrities are probably still going to be annoyed when approached in public. Saying, "wow that's Jerry Seinfeld over there!" and moving on with your day is the most empathetic and mature move.
It's not interaction though. It's a one sided thing, and that's always annoying. It's like if you live in an area with a lot of people and you can't walk a block without being stopped by someone asking for change, a smoke, or both. Being stopped to beg for accolegement isn't much different than being stopped so someone can beg for change. You don't know them as a person. You know them as fame, and you're just begging for a tiny piece of that fame to keep for yourself.
I mean, if you watched a TV show or sports figure every day for years, and you happen to see them in an elevator...it'd be pretty hard to not at least say something simple, or shake their hand if they are OK with it.
It goes both ways. If I was famous I would not want others to hug me or tell me they love me. But it'd be pretty cool to get a flow of people daily giving you gratification for your hard work, like a simple "You're awesome." or "nice to meet you" or something.
She's a celebrity in her own right and current, so she's used to people recognizing her all the time. She probably wouldn't think someone wouldn't, but Seinfeld seems to be sheltered in his billionaire elite lifestyle and out of touch with other current celebrities.
A hug is not a big deal really, she's not someone off the streets that was there. I thought he was snobbish before.
I know this is weird, but I'm a big fan of Larry David but not Jerry Seinfeld.

I've know the name Kesha but wouldn't know her if I passed her on the street.
Of course he doesn't care lol, no one that is whining about it matters at all in comparison. They're just mad that they don't matter enough for him to even register them as existing
...Isn't it extremely widely known that he's an asshole? Even watching Comedians in Cars, where he's supposed to seem nice, he still manages to come off as an asshole.
Yeah but he wouldn't even talk to first class stewards, they see famous people all the time. Nothing wrong with doing it in public but even in a plane ? This guy is undeniably a douche bag.
If I'm on a long haul flight and had the money, I'd pay for it too. I'm not going to be a dick and specify they can talk to me, but only on certain terms - better to just not at all.
People are taking it personally and it's not personal at all. If I'm wanting to be alone, Jesus Christ riding a unicorn wouldn't cause me to make an exception, let alone a first class steward.
I'm sure the 500th time your dinner is interrupted by someone going "That's gold Jerry!" you decide that your own autonomy and personal space are more important than stranger's right to come shake your hand, take up your time, and say nice things that you've heard before and know are true.
Right, and ultra famous people have to interact with 500+ people they don't know on a daily basis. That seems a decent enough reason to be a douche occasionally

People interact with strangers everyday. The fact he wouldn't even interact with the Stewards is pretty douchy.
There is also the fact that he is famous and part of being famous means having fans and being recognized. You wouldn't be famous without fans so to just ignore them and not even saying "hi" is a bit of a douche move. Respects people who let you get to where you are now.

He entertained millions of people. He got paid for it. End of transaction. He doesn't owe them any personal interaction. He's not on the clock.
He's not an asshole, he just has no filter and doesn't care about other people's feelings. Unfortunately this doesn't make him an asshole, it makes people like you think he is one.
I'm not the guy you responded to here, but I wanna clear this up for ya (and for whatever late-to-the-thread stragglers end up reading this) if that's okay.
You're trying to say Jerry tells it like it is (even when not doing so would be more well-received by the group/audience), because he cares more about being straight-forward & honest than he cares about protecting people's feelings. (Correct me if I'm mistaken.)
What you actually said, though, was more ambiguous -- and it's definitely something that would raise a red flag for a lot of people who read it. There's a certain clichรฉ/archetype in our culture that can be generally defined like this:
a person who acts like an inconsiderate jackass -- and doesn't fully understand why others tend to react negatively towards the things they say (and/or doesn't want to be more considerate) -- so they defend their unnecessary rudeness and ultimately-not-well-intended remarks as some sort of nobly defiant "telling it like it is"
To be clear, I am 0% suggesting that you (or Jerry, for that matter) are one of those people. But unfortunately, I think the way you wrote that first comment made you come across in that way.
"Being straightforward & honest" and "being considerate" are not mutually exclusive. I believe /u/FirewhiskyGuitar was saying that an asshole, by (their) definition (not to say it's an uncommon one), is someone who acts/speaks with zero consideration for other people.
I think the admirable "tells-it-like-it-is" kind of person is someone who speaks the truth & stands up for it, but who also acts/speaks with regard for the feelings & understandings of others - who (when need be) is careful about what they say & how they say it. That's what a (good) filter is.
Yup, correct assessment here. Thanks for elaborating.
Most assholes don't realize they're being assholes either because they lack that ability to empathize and see things from another perspective, so, unfortunately this explanation will likely (edit: and now I see, it totally did) go over that guy's head.
I read that, and to answer you perfectly simple.. he tells it like it is, he is no where near a douche or asshole. He doesn't go out of his way to disrespect people.
"To answer me"? I don't mean this to be rude, but I didn't ask you anything. Lol. I was just trying to help bridge the gap in communication between you and the other guy. I wasn't confused about the sentiment you were expressing about Jerry. In fact, I wrote it out in my comment.
The worst part is its indirect, if he was a pile of shit to me personally thats fine, but being a douche via proxy is just forcing someone else to be a douche to me for you.
Well, I also dont want to talk to people on my long haul flights either, but i dont have some proxy to speak at you for me. I must be a damn saint.
I mean this guy probably flies first class, too, with all the other important somebodies, so its not like he's next to you in coach. He'd only really be engaging with the attendants
Do you really mean to tell me he can't even address the flight crew? Chinese doctors have been beaten up and thrown off planes for less!
Jerry Seinfeld asked his assistant to hijack a plane and told him to drive it into the north tower of the world trade center on September 11th, 2001. Nothing you will ever say or do can convince me otherwise. You goddamn seinfeld apologists.
Not to mention that if I had enough money for someone to be my proxy I'd do it in a heartbeat.

That's the price you pay for being famous. If you can't handle fans then you entered the wrong career. Being polite to the people who helped make you famous instead of being a douche through proxy isn't much to ask for.

I'm torn because I tend to agree with this logic.
In any other profession we seem to be okay with the, "well, if you don't like the consequences of that profession, why are you in it?" Except for celebrities for some reason.
Being polite to the people who helped make you famous instead of being a douche through proxy isn't much to ask for.
It really doesn't seem like asking much. If this is something that breaks down your mentality, you've got something wrong with your mentality. It's just the consequence for the profession. You can deal with it and acknowledge people who appreciate you and want to express it, or you can shun them. The latter is sure you're right--but it doesn't make you not a douchebag.
I really don't know how I feel at the end of the day. This is merely just my impression of it.
I think people are completely entitled sounding in this. He created content and comedy that we all enjoy and somehow we are also entitled to his personal time and space? It's not like he's going out of his way to be a dick. He's literally minding his own business and people act like he's causing problems.
People are saying that's the price you pay for us making him famous? No, he made himself famous through hard work. And it's clearly not a price he HAS to pay. Sounds like his buffer works really well.
Seriously fuck off with the attitude that celebrities owe people anything. They provide entertainment for people and people demand more. Why is his desire for privacy any less important than people's desire for his attention? Society has an odd obsessive behavior towards celebrities and if celebrities complain, they get bitched at. It's kind of disgusting how entitled people can be.
most artists are not people person's. what makes you think a comedian whats to talk to every schmuck, literally look at any other comedians life. louie, bill burr, tony hinchcliff, daniel tosh. daniel tosh has had almost equal success as far as todays new comedians. most of them have had shows and the thing is, its a job that makes them happy. they dont have to make you happy. they have deals with cc or fx and thats it, not to the public. those networks, their comedy and their other hard work made them famous. we live in a consumers market, people eat up trends. if you make something good it will be sold regardless. antisocial social club is a mockery of streetwear but a blend of trends that made people buy it all up even though its low quality same design on everything. the creator is also a known asshole. you dont get anywhere in life but caught in traffic or stuck in a pointless conversation being nice to randoms.
he doesnt owe you anything, if someone feels like they want to be his proxy if he asks, its just a nice thing to do for someone. when couples go out half the time one is the proxy for the other. its just what you do for someone who is annoyed so they dont keep annoying you.
Only because he's rich. If you have someone act as your buffer, because you can't handle speaking with someone that has less money than you, you're a piece of shit.
Why does it make him a piece of shit? I just don't understand. He doesn't want to talk to people (very common) and he can make it so. What's the problem exactly? Who's getting hurt?
I don't know the full context but I think it's a bit douchey to not respond to the flight crew. Flight crew being stewardesses and stuff like that. As long as they pretend like they don't know who he is I think it's reasonable for him to respond with his food choices and things like that, instead of relaying through a 2nd person.
I imagine that it sometimes leads to those people asking for autographs occasionally and it doesn't bother him to just put up the wall to ensure that never happens though, but everyone's limits are different.
Seems just a little overboard to me considering their job is to serve him(it'd be like asking your other person at the table to speak to the waiter and order for you while you sit there and ignore them).
Many of the other stories I've read in here seem fine though(his behavior in them).

Honest question, if it were just some random dude that thought he was too good to talk to you and not a beloved actor would you still not mind?
If someone acts like this they are basically saying that they consider themselves so much better than you that you aren't even worth their notice, even when they need to interact with you. Or at least that's how a lot of people are going to take it. So yeah, I can see how that offends some. Mostly because it's enormously assholish behavior.
If some random guy didn't feel like talking to me I would think "Well, I guess that guy isn't in the mood to talk to me" and I would move the fuck on with my life. Why would I assume anything like "he thinks he's to good to talk to me?" That came from nowhere. There's plenty of times where I'm not in the mood to talk to anyone, and it's got absolutely nothing to do with any feeling of superiority.
For the record, I don't have any particular love for Seinfeld.

C'mon. There's obviously more to it than just not being in the mood to talk to you if he specifically keeps someone on retainer to keep the peasants away. He's not in a bad mood, that's just how he is.
Come on. You can't seriously think that the one and only job he's hired this person for is to keep airline stewardesses from talking to him. It's obviously something like his personal assistant.
Even if that was their specific job what does it matter? I simply don't understand what's assholish about not wanting to talk to people.
Thought experiment: Say Jerry doesn't want to go out because he'll be constantly approached by people. So he employs a personal shopper to buy groceries and whatever. Does that make him an asshole?

Because the people saying hi are literally the people who allowed him to get so rich. Be polite instead of a snobby dick to your fans. Some become famous if you can't handle that.
They're just mad because they were raised in a generation that hates wealthy people and everything they do. They can pick at this issue all they want but what really pisses them off is how much money he has, and the fact that he doesn't have to share his money or time with strangers if he doesn't want to.
It's funny seeing this sweeping generalization that an entire generation is mad at rich people from somebody whose entire post history is 90% arguments and talking shit at other people.
It's funny when people can't dispute an argument so they creep on previous comments to try and attack the person commenting instead of the comment. I might be a bit of a shit but I do go out of my way not to attack the person that I'm talking to directly.

why do you assume his proxy is being douchy? for all you know the proxy takes jerry's "juice" and turns it into "i'm terribly sorry to bother you but would it be at all possible to have a glass of orange juice with some ice? thank you so much".
I could drive my own ass to the store, but I still order my groceries through Amazon.
I am sure he finds it more convenient and easy to have a go between. So long as he treats that person well and they treat others well I don't really see what the problem is.
Isn't the whole reason to be rich so that you can have things the way you want them?
Isn't the whole reason to be rich so that you can have things the way you want them?
He clearly didnt read the fine print, or the very very bold print, as it were, he became rich via entertainment, so if he wanted to not interact with people he really chose the wrong career.
Be that as it may, he uses his wealth to avoid talking to people, a situation he could have avoided through a fantastic amount of other career paths, he choose one of the most public. As i so clearly spelled out, he chose the wrong career if he wants to be avoiding people, as it stands it now comes with the turf.
seinfelds trying to have is cake and eat it to, and i just dont respect greed like that.

why should he? maybe every time he orders juice instead of it taking 5 seconds it takes a minute because everyone wants to chat with him, take a selfie, get an autograph, etc.. this is why celebrities have assistants who get the uber, check them into the hotel, do all the mundane tasks and handle all the required human interaction so that someone like jerry can get on with his day. if i was jerry and drew the amount of attention that he surely must, hundreds of people wanting a piece of day, everyday.. i'd have a buffer too. he doesn't owe anyone shit. he made a show, he entertained us for a decade and it cost us nothing to watch.. if he doesn't want to be bothered now, no problem.
because fame and money doesnt make him any less of a person, or him any more of a person, if im a flight attendent and im doing my job, the almighty jerry should have to address me like the rest of the rabble.
everyone wants to chat with him,
dude flies first class, they dont exactly let people roll through and line up for selfies in the aisle. He can also politely decline. Every time i look up on a plane the guy next to me wants to strike up a conversation as long as illiad. I decline him politely, because it takes less than 5 seconds of my time.
if i was jerry and drew the amount of attention that he surely must, hundreds of people wanting a piece of day, everyday
If it is honestly as taxing as you say it is, retire. HE isn't struggling for cash, he clearly isn't desperate for attention, and if its such a Sisyphean burden the should just pile it in and call it quits. Otherwise its part of the job. Difficulty of the job doesnt mean you can be an utter douche. President's can't even shit alone, i think jerry can pack it in.
he doesn't owe anyone shit.
Yeah, he owes everyone who's service he uses or is using the same amount of respect he intends to get from others for every paid job he does, why should a flight attendent be worth less common courtesy from jerry seinfeld than they would get from anyone else?
Does jerry get different behavior rules because he's rich?
dergus ยท 7 points ยท Posted at 22:24:22 on June 6, 2017 ยท (Permalink)
but no one is being rude, whomever is dealing with the flight attendant, or hotel desk agent, or taxi driver is surely very polite. so i don't see what upsets you? if you worked at a hotel and someone else was checking jerry seinfeld in, you'd be butthurt that jerry himself wasn't at the counter? pretty sure that makes you the douche
There's such a thing as a reasonable expectation, if jerry is on the other side of the country where he can't conduct his business in person, fine, if jerry is unavailable, fine. The reason these are fine is because its sometimes unreasonable to expect jerry to conduct all his business in person. In fact there are very few situations where i would actually expect him to do his business in person
However, when jerry is standing right next to you as you talk for jerry in the third person, while jerry stands there not doing anything, all because jerry cant be bothered to conduct business with me, then jerry can go fuck himself, because that's one of the few times i actually expect jerry to be fully capable of doing business with me in person.

i'm sure thats not how it happens, most likely jerry is on the phone, at the bar, etc.. while his assistant deals with all the mundane shit like dealing with people like you who expect him to engage you.
Remember the guy who mentioned this scenario explicitly stated was not in a bar, it was on a plane, most likely in first class, and even at that point not even the flight staff were addressed by jerry. So "guy sitting and doing nothing while other guy talks for the first guy because nothing guy just cant be bothered" is pretty much the exact scenario we're talking about.
If its a phone conversation, then thats a really long phone conversation. But then again if jerry gets special rules for basic human interaction, he also probably gets to be the loud asshole on his phone for the entire plane flight, right? Because he's jerry and he's got important jerry things to do, like not talk to "the help."
Even god talked to moses directly, sure it was through a bush, but he at least did the talking. also it was god. You mean to tell me jerry seinfeld is so important he needs his own prophets to speak for him? Has jerry left these mortal coils, ascended to a higher state of being.

Well, it's a big scale, so there are many different thresholds.
Money just allows you to do more things, that's about all money is useful for. If you have enough, you can do more things than other people can. If you really have enough, you can live life just the way you want to.
Is that your right? Are there ways you can choose to live your life, utilizing your wealth, that are disrespectful to others? Sure, but plenty of those ways are surely up for debate. It's difficult to generalize this, you really just have to pick a specific example and then go from there.
If I'm a flight attendant, and someone uses their partner as a proxy to respond to me doing my service job, then I'd probably be a bit perplexed, maybe annoyed. Same if someone who was rich paid someone to be that proxy. Fame doesn't really seem to flip the tables around here.
No, it's not based on monetary wealth. It's based on cultural wealth. Someone as cultured and sophisticated as Jerry Seinfeld deserves to do anything to anyone. He should have just sucker punched Kesha for clearly trying to steal his wallet in this facade of goodwill.
ALright well I don't know where to take this. I was obviously being sarcastic but people are so enflamed in this thread about all of this that they can't tell who is joking and who is serious.
And the point here is that no one cares about your opinion and he's jerry Seinfeld. As long as he isn't an outright asshole all the time or doesn't do anything illegal, people will still love him and your opinion of him doesn't mean anything to him or anyone else.
and my point is I still think he can go fuck himself, in fact i pretty much said just not two comments up in this current thread, "you can do x, i will do y". it seems the only one confused about this is you, because you still feel the need to tell me to get down and grovel in front of the throne of seinfeld.
That doesn't seem too bad. I could see if I was under house arrest and I hired someone to be my professional surrogate to be my eyes and ears so I can still be involved in my family affairs from afar.
Everything I've seen of him in interviews and even on his show leads me to believe he's a full of himself douche. I mean, I get he's rich as shit, but that's no reason to be a dick or act better than everyone.

He admitted he's cranky and that he's okay with it. I don't think Jerry is unaware of these perceptions people have of him, because it sounds like he agrees with them but just doesn't give a fuck.
Yeah, but self-awareness doesn't make you less of an asshole.
It doesn't change my enjoyment levels of his stuff, but it also doesn't change the fact that he's a dick.

A bit of Johnny Carson syndrome, perhaps?
(Carson had a very dark side, moreso than anyone I've heard about on that level of showbiz. To the point that he died alone, and without ceremony. I wonder if his fame/fortune and power helped that along. He blamed his mother.)
Nobody needs a reason to act better than others or be a dick in order to do it. Plenty of those walking around all day every day. Its just a lot easier to do when you are actually better than others like Jerry is. :)
His success came from Larry David. He hasn't really done anything decent on his own. His stand up is pretty bad, and he made Bee Movie. Syndication money is all you really need to stay relevant though.
I believe he also has some OCD...friend-of-a-friend (story) worked on the set of the show & the boxes in his kitchen had to be in a certain order from left to right (I seem to remember it being alphabetical) & the food in the fridge had to be in certain places per his request.
I agree. He's got the money because all of the little people paid a shit ton of money to make him rich. Advertisers paid, we bought, Jerry cashed in. He, at the least, should be respectful of those who paid his salary (including the flight crew). I'm not saying people own him and he must succumb to random people hugging him or taking up all his spare time, but a fucking "Hello" shouldn't be too much to ask.
What exactly did you buy to support him? He doesn't owe you any more than anyone else. That's like saying you bought a sandwich at subway so the owner should personally come say hello to you. He did a job and got paid for it. He doesn't owe you anything.
No, it's nothing like Subway. Advertising pays for TV. How do you think networks get financed so well they can offer JS $millions per episode? Why do you think it costs millions of dollars for a 30 second advert during the Super Bowl?
You expect to be thanked for watching a free TV show? You were given hundreds of hours of enjoyment, and didn't have to give anything in return, and you expect him to be grateful to you?
First, I never asked to be thanked. I said that JS could be less of a slug and at least say hello to the people that make his flying possible. Second, I fucking never sat through one episode of that shitty show. Finally, please review the previous post regarding advertising and then Google "advertising and television".
What makes this seem even more douchey to me is that the man can afford an entire fleet of Gulfstream 650s a flight crew AND a ground/maintenance crew for all of them so that he would never have to suffer through having to fend off all us peasant commoners all the time. I think he just likes being a prick to us mere mortals.
Or he could care about the environment a little and not want to flit around on private planes. Like certain politicians that claim to love the environment do.
"I never met him but I will take your story as fact and wont consider that some important detail is being left out or that I don't know the whole picture and from now on I will remember jerry as a douche."

Meh I'm tired of people who take everything 100% seriously so I never give anyone the benefit of the doubt in Reddit. I got downvoted and taken seriously for joking that skittles offended me recently.
Jerry stayed in my resort I worked at. In the presidential suite. We had 3 restaurants in the resort. I was the only room service person working those nights.
Dude ordered dominos everyday and didnt bother having anyone come to his room besides the delivery guy. I have met hundreds of celebrities this way. Always a good talk and a nice experience. Jerry, you mother fucker. You owe me a conversation! Lol
Well that was elitist, thanks for your contribution. If the word is on the door of the room he is servicing, he can probably spell it regardless of his intelligence.

Are you honestly surprised someone in that line of work can't spell?
He would not have chatted with you under any circumstances. He doesnโt care for normal people or small talk. From what Iโve seen, he tolerates it for about 5 seconds and if itโs clear you will go beyond that threshold, he shuts it down.

Meh, hes not required to be social. To you he's a celebrity but to him your some dude who's annoying him.

This seems to be missing from our conventional understanding of celebrities.
Let's assume you are an accountant. If some other person you've never met in your life walks up to you and says, "Hey, you're a good accountant. Can I hug you?" and then literally arms out goes for it, you're going to be super weirded out too.
Does it matter that they're also an accountant? Nope. Does it matter that Seinfeld's a famous person? Nope. Doesn't give anybody leeway to just be all "Come here, you!"
Does it matter that they're also an accountant? Nope. Does it matter that Seinfeld's a famous person? Nope.
Well -- that distinction is actually kind of relevant. I mean if you get into show business you kind of accept the "risk" that you're going to be come famous (or at least known) if you have any success at it. The reason that you're valuable/make money is because people recognize you and like you -- that's what makes you a draw. And dealing with fans coming up to you in public is reasonably considered to be part of the "job" in a way that just has no analogue for an accountant.
With that being said I totally understand how celebrities would get sick of it, and there should be some degree of understanding for a curt brush-off sometimes. But it's not as weird to get approached as it would be for an accountant; you signed up for this.
While a person is actively working and relying on their celebrity status to make a living, that's a fair point. But I think Seinfeld is past that, he's made his money, he's been at the top of his game.
He might still work here and there on projects that he wants to do, but he doesn't need to play along with the fake niceness and arse-kissing that show business is full of.

Eh, I don't think becoming a celebrity invalidates your right to bodily autonomy. You signed up to be in movies or TV shows or music albums or whatever. You didn't signup to have strangers touch you, even famous ones.
It'd be a bit different if he said "No, thanks." and she said "Okeydoke, enjoy the event!" and walked away. That he had to say it three times was way overkill. But he still 100% has the right to say no, just like the accountant.

Honestly a fan asking for a hug isn't that big of a deal.
To you. A lot of people prefer their personal space and aren't overly keen on chatting with strangers. It doesn't really matter what someone chooses to do for a living, on their personal time they're entitled to the same respect for physical boundaries as anyone else.

Actually, It'd be more understandable if someone was dealing with 8th graders wanting to give them hugs. Normal adults should be able to comprehend the fact that seeing someone on t.v does not mean you are entitled to their attention and certainly not to physical contact with them. By your logic, if a doctor didn't want his patients to walk up to him on the street and ask him medical questions, he shouldn't be a doctor.
What people do for a living in no way gives anyone else carte blanche to ignore basic social etiquette when seeing them out and about. If a healthy, independent adult cannot grasp the concept that a celebrity may not want to hug a stranger just because said stranger seen them on tv, I'd say that's more a problem with the stranger than the celebrity. We aren't discussing whether or not they should be surprised by it, we're discussing whether or not (in your own words) it is a "big deal" and the fact remains to some people it evidently is.
Everywhere he goes there will be some fan asking for something, so I can totally understand that he isn't thrilled with the idea of giving out hugs, autographs or doing a stop and chat. Imagine if you were stopped by random people asking for hugs and photos everytime you walked out your door. Some celebrities are extremely extrovert and love the attention (or at least pretend to), he's not. That doesn't make him a jerk, just a normal person.
The only issue with that is accountants don't hire publicists. Actors are public figures, and by accepting the role of a public figure they are consenting to certain things most people don't. This is why paparazzi are allowed to get away with what they do to celebrities. Public figures give up some privacy rights. Also, entertainers depend on publicity to some extent as part of their career success.

This analogy does not work. He is a celebrity. Not an accountant. His status depend on being famous, being known to people and being loved by them. His income depends on his fans. Don't get me wrong, I am not saying he is supposed to be a slave to them. But let's not make this false analogy and assume he is just like member of some other craft. He is not.
Exactly this. Everyone envisions their celebrity encounters from their own point of view and not from the celebrityโs. They are also a human and maybe they donโt feel like talking to you or anyone else at that particular moment. Itโs not a one-sided equation.
I dont know if you used her as a random example but I got to hang with her and a good portion of the Mad Men cast years ago at a small party and all of them went for a hug over a handshake when I was introducing myself. Christina is crazy nice and I doubt she'd shun another celeb on the red carpet. If some random dude ran up then probably yeah.
A celebrity has their fans to thank for their career, an accountant doesn't.
I'm a HUGE Seinfeld fan but in real life Jerry always seemed like a bit of a cock, especially when you have other celebrities like Dave Chappelle who will actually stop and talk with his fans or media.
To be fair, these people make millions of dollars as entertainers. Jerry Seinfeld has made hundreds of millions. Part of the gig is being at least tolerable when people say hello. You don't need to stop or have a conversation, but don't act like they're garbage for appreciating your work.
God, I feel this so hard. This is like an insanely micro scale compared to being a celebrity, but I'm one of like 7 managers at a store with ~200 employees and people are constantly trying to corner me into 15+ minutes of small talk during my lunch break. I deal with the public all the time, the very last thing I want is to spend my break having to make more polite chit chat with people I wouldn't naturally hang around. Dear god, please just let me eat my pb sandwich and surf reddit in silence. I can't even imagine what it would be like to be recognizable outside of work and not even be able to step outside your house without having a similar experience. It must be very draining. (And I say this as someone who is generally very social and likes people quite a bit, but goddamn you can only fake laugh at the same stupid joke so many times before it starts wearing thin. People are sooo predictable and repetitive when you interact with a lot of them.)

This is a really bad analogy. An on duty cop has a moral obligation to fulfill that an actor doesn't have. Why people think they're entitled to any "celebrities" time is beyond me. Wow your famous?? You have an obligation to talk to anyone!!
Most cops aren't that bad, I usually get a handshake at the end none of that bullshit where they refused to touch you.
Most of the time they let me go or give me a chance to not fuck up again if they see me because I treat them like anyone else and show respect just like I do for anyone else.
oh im sorry that i know how to interact with cops without looking scared or freaked out and talk to them like normal human beings.
even when i was holding or even tripping balls at the time they would never suspect, its all about how you present yourself in the situation. Everything from how you stand,talk, mannerisms, and not acting scared.
But act like a stupid thug or nervous wreck and your fucked. They way you interact with others can manipulate their perception of you.

Seinfeld signed up for the gig
He signed up to be an actor and a comedian, but that doesn't mean he's obligated to be everyone's dancing monkey 24/7/365. It's possible to enjoy your job and still not want to do it more than 9-5, and wanting to have a life outside of work is healthy for anyone including celebrities. I love my job and I couldn't see myself doing anything else (I'm a veterinarian), but that doesn't mean I want to get unsolicited texts from casual acquaintances about their dog having diarrhea at 2 AM while I'm off the clock. It's nice that some celebrities are cool about keeping up the fanservice while they're going about their daily lives outside of work, but I'd hardly call that a fair thing to expect out of them as a job requirement. If the dude wants to spend his vacation time in his hotel room eating Domino's, I don't see anything wrong with that. You'd be pissed if I barged into your hotel room and expected an autograph and a conversation while you were on vacation.

To be fair, celebrities know when they go in that if they make it big their recognizability is going through the roof and hundreds of thousands of really annoying people are going to want to pester them with the same shit every single day of their lives.
Also to be fair, they're still allowed a preference on how social they want to be and not all of them are extroverts. Jude Law for instance is vocal about not wanting to be a celebrity; he just wants to be an actor. You never really hear about people like Liam Neeson outside movie promotions. Some of them just want to work hard, go home, and enjoy their private lives.
They do bring it on themselves, but that doesn't mean they don't have a right to a break every once in a while.
I have a few comic friends and I don't think it's a celebrity thing. Not in any kind of bad or weird way. It's just that, normal conversation for Jerry might be more about things like his career in comedy, or the comedy profession in general. Take Kesha for example. Probably knows less than nothing about comedy. Even if we found a way to sit the 2 down for some nice dinner conversation there's no way either one knows a topic the other one cares enough to talk about.
Fame isn't what he's after and I don't think he particularly enjoys that part of it. He's a talented writer and performer and he managed to turn that into a very successful career. That doesn't give people the right to touch him when he's not comfortable with it.
Great actor? He's not a Great actor, he's not even a great comedian. He's good don't get me wrong, but Seinfield was more in the right place at the right time. I'm pretty convinced Larry David is the real brains behind that type of comedy anyway.
If you're ever a celebrity as big as Jerry, your opinion might eventually change. You might get tired of having to give everyone hugs since you'de be the celebrity who gave "anyone who asked" a hug. Walking down the street on a relaxing Saturday evening could become a ridiculous hug fest. How many celebrities do you know that just give anyone hugs?

A few definitely has problems with knowing when to stop talking about something that interests them, but that's not unique to aspergers. I know several people with ADHD who have the same problem. Honestly I think the whole picture of people who are diagnosed with asperbergers completely lacking social skills is wrong.
Some, actually most, of those people do not become entertainers and celebrities.
Then you have guy like jerry who seems not to fully comprehend what the job entails. HE could easily just fade to obscurity and take the pay cut that comes with. dude's trying to have his cake and eat it.
Dont worry at all, Ive dealt with many many many people over decades in social situations, and if he is this way he isnt worthy of the respect that you could give him at all. Simply due to his lack of respect for others amongst him, he gets that which he deserves. Life is just life, and some folks dont realize that if you are worth 280 million dollars that you are a human being just like a homeless bum is...except you have a fat wallet compared to an empty wallet.
Well I mean think about it, if everywhere you went people wanted a hug, kiss, handshake or selfie, you'd have to either become a germaphobe or deal with getting sick all the time from touching strangers.

Does the show ever explicitly say that Jerry has OCD? Because a number of the show's plots are consistent with him having at least a mild case of it.
-Being irreversibly grossed out by his girlfriend using a betoileted toothbrush.
-Being uncomfortable with the kiss hello.
-Being put on the spot to eat the pizza that Poppy made without having washed his hands.
Kesha is one of the smarter celebrities out there, and she's done "photobomb" stuff like this before (licked slash). She did this full well knowing she'd get rejected and end up in the news.
For some people, that's exactly why. I never understood it, but a couple folks I know get a lot of pleasure from forcing hugs upon those who hate needless human contact.
No idea if this applies to Jerry. Still, it is the right of consenting adults to say yes or no to any contact with any creature (including themselves).

Ok let me summarise why this is such a retarded argument:
Exaggeration is key element of sitcoms
IT Crowd: not a documentary based on a London City Tech Support team
Father Ted: not an accurate representation of rural Ireland nor of life in the priesthood
Just Shoot Me: Not how a magazine is run
Goldbergs: though it's inspired by it is not in fact an actual verbatim representation of a small Jewish family in the 80s
Arrested Development, it's Always Sunny, Friends.. they are merely situations, themes and backdrops where comedy can take place
And its not just in comedy, Criminal Minds, not accurate, Law and Order SVU... madness altogether. Do you see?

Sunny is pretty good, because they don't assume you're an idiot and treat you accordingly. You have to pay attention and understand nuance. BBT is like a blunt instrument with a built-in speaker going LAUGH, LAUGH, THIS GUY CAN'T TALK TO GIRLS UNLESS HE'S WASTED, THIS GUY IS A PERV, HAHA, OH THIS GUY IS REAAALY AWKWARD.
If someone is entertained by obvious, predictable, played-out, spoon-fed nonsense, great. I'll stick to shows like The Wire and Sunny.
Edit: I have only seen the first two seasons of Arrested Development. It's believable enough without resorting to tired lines and laugh tracks.

From all accounts he sounds like one of the most arrogant, overpaid snotrags who has ever existed. That said, the "koolaid drinking" is just the show being a victim of its own success. The writing was really good for its day. Seinfeld is like the Nickelback of comedy shows: people are sick of it because it's oversaturated and redefined an entire genre.

Might be bullshit but apparently that happened to a lot of the winners of Oprahs cars, they had to pay a load of tax so many sold the car to pay the tax.
oh I know what you mean, that's tax when you receive a car even if free, you pay the tax on the cars market value, kinda like when rich people receive a house and have to pay estate taxes on it. So yes if Jay gifted anyone all his cars they would have to pay millions in taxes initially to keep them because uncle sam wants his doe, if not, uncle same will take all the property and auction it to still make some cash out of something they did nothing for.
All the taxes I've paid so far in my life are nothing close to a bother to me. I like knowing some of that money can come around and fix my street up nicer, or go to public welfare of some sort. But man, fuck that whole bullshit about taxing non-monetary winnings. Back off Sam, this is a God damn car not a lottery ticket, if you want me to buy it instead of win it then that's your goddamn issue so don't throw your fines tax onto my lap.

I buy a $1000 TV. I'm done. I buy a $1000 car I have to pay taxes yearly (YMMV) . Sure the TV doesn't use the roads but I think the analogy is just.
Excise tax is an ad valorem tax on automobiles at the town level in a lot of places. Basically you're taxed a certain amount by the town every year based on the type and age of your vehicle.
it's when you first recieve a car weather you have to pay taxes on what you paid for it, so say jay sells you them all for 1 dollar you have to pay taxes on 1 dollar, but if he gifts them to you, then you have to pay taxes based on the cars market value, which in jays case, would be millions, so it would be better if you could convince jay to sell you all his cars for 1 dollar than to have him gift them to you.
I'm willing to bet that Jay pays well over market value IN CASH to the seller in order for the seller to write a $1 bill of sale -- so Jay doesn't have to pay the taxes.
That's what a smart person would do. And Jay Leno is certainly a smart guy.

I really like Feynman but I don't know about the video. It made him seem way more cynical than he was. The guy had a general enthusiasm for life, and for people.
The video is kinda pretentious... like /r/iamverysmart material. I don't think Feynman would agree with how is words were portrayed.
Stand-up comedian and sitcom star Jerry Seinfeld was "honored" Sunday in an HBO TV special entitled "Jerry Seinfeld: The Comedian Award," hosted by CNN's Anderson Cooper and featuring fellow comedians Robert Klein, Chris Rock, and Garry Shandling as panel members.
A several minute recording of Mr. Seinfeld's stand-up started off the event, but the focus was on the panel discussion. Topics included Jerry's decision to re-enter the world of stand-up comedy post-Seinfeld, his and Shandling's first gigs on The Tonight Show, and the panelists' typical methods for creating and presenting material. Klein also shared colorful anecdotes regarding his late mentor, Rodney Dangerfield.
Interesting note: that award ceremony - made especially to honor Jerry Seinfeld - was recorded in 2005, but not aired until 2007. Most likely because of that acceptance speech, in which (as you can see) he blew the whole thing to pieces.
"Comedians should be the only ones getting awards, we're the only ones that have to actually think of something original and funny and interesting to say. You know how hard that is?" I know its a joke but Jerry is one of the most pretentious douchebags around.
I would say that his neuroses and irritability are kind of his thing. Those things are fine and I think they fuel his comedy, but I agree that if you watch Comedians in Cars Getting Coffee, you'll see that he kind of tends to talk about himself as one of the greats. I've seen this in a few interviews as well. I think Seinfeld was great and he did a lot of great stand up, but I feel like he's still trying to ride the success of a TV show that ended 20 years ago. Even the comedians that I consider the greats, like Steve Martin or Robin Williams, never talked about themselves this way unless it was blatantly a joke.
He put enough comedic timing and presentation into it that the audience was getting into it despite him wrecking the marketing industry.
That is a master at work.

Everything you do is advertising except for select few jobs.
Edit: even if you don't directly participate in advertising you are making products, providing materials or offerring services that are getting advertised in order to reach a consumer. So indirectly or directly everyone is a part of one huge advertising scheme.
Seinfeld recognizes he's also part of it, that's the whole brilliance of that speech.
Yes. You're advertising the services and benefits of being a member of said county. By providing the great treatment and care to people who walk through your doors (as you best discern in your professional judgment) you are giving them a reason to remain in your county.

No, I think you misunderstand. I don't want to be the dead one in this situation, just rich.
The traditional way of doing this is to take a coat hanger, stab it hard into your ear, and head for the spot responsible for moral behavior. Give it a good twist when you get there. You're now qualified to become rich (if you weren't already).
This is a common misconception. In fact, the vast majority of large estates - the tiny percentage of all estates that are actually subject to the estate tax - consist to a large degree of unrealized capital gains that have never been taxed; the estate tax is the only means of taxing this income.
Furthermore, we tax money more than once in other ways: sales taxes, property taxes, and state and local income taxes all tax money that has already been taxed by the federal government. The primary difference with money taxed by the estate tax is that it hasn't ever been taxed before!

While true, that isn't all of it. When someone dies and you inherit their estate, all of their earnings and monetary assets are lumped in to one pile. And then you pay the estate tax on the whole estate.
You missed the important part of my comment, which is that, under the US estate tax, the vast majority of estates actually taxed are investments that are primarily made up of appreciated and as-yet-untaxed assets. Perhaps in Canada the estate tax has a much lower cut off than in the US? But the teeny, tiny percentage of estates that actually get taxed in the US have a much smaller percentage of assets that have been previously taxed.
As for the rest of your comment, well, I can see why you disagree. You are clearly strongly opposed to most - all? - taxes. That's fair, you're not alone. But I strongly disagree. Taxes are the price we pay for a civilized society. And considering that your taxes pay for, among other things, a better health care system than ours, I find it hard to understand your position.

If the state the money was made in has an income tax, it would have been taxed as earned income at some point correct? Federal for sure, state laws dictate the state.
The whole taxing it coming (income) in and taxing it going out (sales) is tough to swallow in most states.
Considering we all pay federal taxes, and in turn we get more regulation. If I am paying federal taxes, give me healthcare.

As someone presently working on their 5th million, let me offer you some very helpful advice: because each million dollars of net worth is exponentially easier and easier to earn, start with the 5th one. Once I do that, I'll swing around and pick up the previous 4.
The trick is to invest in mutual funds. On average, a $10 investment in mutual funds will grow by 7% a year after inflation .
Meaning, if 24-year old FollowKick puts $10 into a mutual fund now, 44-year old FollowKick will get $38 back. If he leaves it in for 10 more years, that orginial $10 has now grown to $76! Astounding!
The hump to get over is actually having a financial advisor to invest with. Luckily, FollowKick already has a portfolio.

Jerry: "You know, a full on hug. Both arms all the way around."
Elaine: "Do you know her?"
Jerry: "That's just it, I'm really not sure."
Elaine: "Well I think it's OK if you know her."
George: "I don't see why you're complaining. I wish more women would hug me."
Jerry: "Well if I knew that I knew her, I probably would have just hugged her".
Elaine: "Who do you maybe think it was?"
Jerry: "That girl... I was dating a couple of weeks ago..."
George: "Mulva"
Elaine: "Mulva? You mean the woman that looks like Kesha?"

Kramer: "I can't believe you turned down Kesha. Where's your bowler hat Jerry??? You know I needed that bowler hat!"
You have to have enough money to make it worth doing. The overwhelming majority of Americans pay no estate taxes so a trust would be pointless.

The point is, the money you're inheriting has already been taxed (probably several times - income tax when it was earned, then again when you received interest/dividend/capital gains from it).
I get that, but why even have it kick in at any amount? Just because it only affects the rich it's ok? Where does Fox news even come into play? I don't even have Fox news.

There are entire markets with no providers. AETNA and others who were sole providers backed out as the only providers.
People have been paying up the Wahoo for insurance with 10,000 deductibles. That is absolutely ridiculous. The cheapest insurance I can get has been $300 for absolutely crap crap crap that was useless.
And if I went with nothing it was a huge penalty in tax season, let's get real now.
I think everyone agrees that health care is crazy, but the guy was specifically talking about the government putting even less money into health care meaning prices will just go up.
Why does it take government subsidies to make it work? Why are the markets so limited? Obama was using Fannie and Freddie funds illegally to prop it up and it was still failing.
That system doesn't work. Even as it was being propped up by subsidies it was ridiculous with exhorbitant deductibles and ever increasing premiums.
My insurance as it stands costs $950 a month for just me. I don't make a killing personally but my employer, like many others ends up footing a good portion of it as a benefit so that makes my wage more worth it, though it still falls short of many other professional careers.
All money is taxed whenever it is exchanged. You can argue against taxation in general but the estate tax is no different than the regular taxes we deal with, in fact it's more lenient since it only kicks in at $10.8 mil for a married couple whereas all other exchanges are always taxed (gifts actually count against your estate tax allowance also).
Taxation in general is just a cost of having an economic system where money even means something to begin with. The enforcement of property rights is paid for by taxing property.
There are societal arguments to be made for an estate tax in particular but they aren't really necessary to make because all exchanges are taxed anyway.
I'm not going to receive $5.4M from my parents for sure, and I'm not up in arms, I'm just against it because I don't think government should double tax people. I would prefer to live in a world where it didn't happen. :)
Another option would be to tax high earners more heavily over the course of their life. You could think of the inheritance tax as paying a reduced tax rate on income that you spend over the course of your life, and any amount unspent over the threshold at death is then adjusted for what the true tax rate should have been.
What would you rather have happen? Less money now and no inheritance tax later, or more money now and an inheritance tax later? More money now is usually better, no?
If your argument is just less taxes on the wealthy, then that's a different conversation :)

You correctly guessed that attacking a tax targeting the rich would lead others to speak out in favor of wealth redistribution. Congratulations, I guess.
Nope. You want to avoid having any assets pass through your will. A will is just a safety net in case you die with assets in your name alone. Then those assets will be probated through the will
While this is true, it can still be very valuable for the average American. For example, God forbid my grandmother ever had to go into a nursing home. In America this costs something like $2,500 a week and insurance only covers 80% of it. This leaves the individual in the nursing home owing the remaining ~$300 a week. Unless the individual dies fairly quickly in the nursing home the bill will add up very fast. The nursing home cannot kick the person out, but they can seize all assets, this includes bank accounts, properties, stocks, etc. However, if, for example, you place the properties in a trust for a minimum of 10 years, they are untouchable by the nursing home.
For this reason my grandmother has placed her house, a large portion of her savings, and certain stocks in a trust. The items have to remain in a trust for 10 years without being added to, subtracted from, or modified in any way for the trust to go into effect. So if she drew $1 from or added it to the trust the 10 years would reset, leaving all the money vulnerable to seizure. Its a good decision to make if you have any property, valuable possessions, money, or really any assets you want to leave loved ones. Nursing homes will take it all if you ever need to be sent to one, so its definitely something to consider when you hit your golden years.
I'm sorry but a nursing home charging so much that you leave absolutely nothing for your children is ridiculous. No necessary institution should be able to take literally everything you own, everything you worked for a lifetime to earn.
How is it Medicaid fraud?
1. She's on Medicare, she has never implied or hinted to the government that she is poor. Did I accidentally type Medicaid, not Medicare before? If so I'm sorry, I meant Medicare.
2. She paid into Medicare her entire working life, as one does, and is not nor has she ever cheated them out of a single penny.
3. So putting your assets in a legal trust so they can't be seized, the whole point of a legal trust really, is somehow fraud now?
The money/assets she would pay upon going into a nursing home would not go to Medicare, it would go to the nursing home. Medicare normally covers 80%, so they'll pay ~$2,200 a week to keep her there regardless of whether she had any assets or not. If she did have assets the nursing home requires another ~$300 a week out of pocket. They continue taking until the elderly is left with no assets, and then happily content themselves with the continuing Medicare payment of ~2,200 weekly.
Maybe you disagree, but I think that cost is ridiculous for an institution routinely charged with elderly abuse in this country. Letting the old sit in dirty diapers, getting bedsores, etc. shouldn't cost so much. But even if they treated her fine, would you be ok with losing everything you spent a lifetime earning? They literally take everything until you end up with jack shit left in your will for your children. No necessary institution should be able to literally take everything you own. My mom's friend just had to place her mother in a nursing home. Its been a year, the house is gone, the $30,000 she had saved in her bank account is gone, and they're currently in the process of liquidating all the valuables she had in her home. She worked her whole life with the intention of having something to leave to her children and now she is leaving them with nothing. Maybe you think this is a wonderful system, but a lot of elderly disagree with you, and wonder why they bothered working and saving their whole lives if all it amounts to is jack shit.
[deleted] ยท 1 points ยท Posted at 18:28:04 on June 7, 2017 ยท (Permalink)
Well simply put, we don't intend to ever actually put her in a nursing home, this was all for "just in case" we'd hire a live in nurse if at all possible before we'd consider putting her in a nursing home. Not only is it more kind to the elderly individual (being kept in a familiar location) but it also ends up being cheaper in the long term. I honestly feel nursing homes should be cheaper, and believe in universal healthcare, in which your and my taxes would pay for it anyway. She isn't hiding her assets, everyone knows that they are there... I mean you can't hide the existence of a house for example.
This is all only what her lawyer suggested she do when she expressed concern that she may end up having everything taken from her. It isn't fraud considering that people put their assets in trusts all the time. She probably has long term care insurance, maybe that is what I meant only covers 80%?
Either way, I honestly want your opinion on this. What is the point in working your whole life and saving money if its all just gonna get taken when you get really old? Seriously, what would be the difference between her putting her money in a trust, or if she decided to liquidate everything right now and going on a spending spree, staying in 5 star hotels, beautiful vacations, donating to charities, etc.? I mean if either way you're gonna be left with absolutely nothing to give your children when you pass on, then why not blow it all? If a trust wasn't an option, and I was diagnosed early with dementia or Alzheimers, that's what I'd be doing. Might as well use this money and enjoy it rather than throwing it away.
Also don't forget the idea of a trust protecting property. Such as someone who is going into a nursing home and requires Medicaid eventually. Medicaid would require all assets to be dissolved and paid into their care before Medicaid would pay. But with property in a trust it can't be touched since its not owned by the person applying for nursing care. That's just one situation though.
I wasn't trying to suggest that Trusts are pointless, I was referring specifically to the idea that setting up a trust is a good way to avoid the estate tax (which is true, but only if you are pretty wealthy)

Yeah, become a millionaire, pay lobbyist, change laws, hire attorney, form RL trust, move all assets to trust. Write will with Attorney, pass all inheritance, including trust to kids.
First part is pretty much already done by most dead rich people, you just need to do the rest.
also you wont have to pay an inheritance tax if the total of your inheritance is under 10 million or something like that so i wouldnt be worried if i were you
No need. Unless you have 10s of millions of dollars, you won't be paying a penny of inheritance taxes. Those taxes are only for rich people (but they don't want folks to know that, because they want inheritance taxes to be politically unpopular.)

If you can't afford the accountants/lawyers to get it right, you don't have enough money for inheritance tax to affect you in the first place (>5.49 million federally).
Depending on what all you wanted done, that sounds reasonable. No idea where homeboy got $100 from. I bill out at $250 an hour, so the assumption is that it would take me ~25 minutes from start to finish. I don't think I've ever had an initial client meeting that lasted less than an hour.
Trusts don't entirely avoid inheritance tax. When assets are initially contributed into the trust, the benefactor must file a gift tax return and effectively pre-pay any inheritance tax that would have been owed on those assets at the time of their death. Also, the trust must pay income tax each year on any undistributed earnings from the assets it holds.
The only savings occurs when the assets appreciate within the trust as this appreciation avoids inheritance tax for a generation.

$3B is going to likely appreciate quite a lot of money, even with very conservative investments.
Always have to remember that the taxes aren't incurred until income is realized. If trust was worth X in 2010 and now it's worth 3X there may be no taxes owed until you sell the assets at which point you are taxed based on an income of 2X (selling price-investment cost=income). Her trust probably rolls over a lot of dividends and balances gains and losses until she is only paying taxes on the amount she needs to spend each year
She's 56 since January, so if she's planning on dying on her 57th birthday and a crash of extreme outlier magnitude happens tomorrow at open, then she might have reason to sweat. Otherwise, no cause for alarm.

What, you think they have their money all on APPL or TSLA? Once you get that much money, you don't need to worry about growing it, just preserving it. They park it in places like high-quality bonds or TIPS that are protected against market fluctuations and have a 1-2% annual return, because 1% of a billion dollars is roughly $doesntmattermorethanyouneed per year.
Oh come on, look at historical trends, even if you invested prior to any of the worst crashes in the history of the US stock exchange, you would be profitable within the next decade (often sooner). And of course the most wealthy are in the best position to ride it out.
That is not even to mention that huge sums like this would likely be in lower risk investments that absolutely don't take as hard of a hit.

More to the point: The taxes are low enough that simply following the interest rate would recoup that in a decade.

If you had a large amount of money that was somehow stored without collecting interest, and just passed it from generation to generation, it would just eventually get taxed out of existence wouldn't it? That's fucked.
Is it, though? Having a permanent hereditary aristocracy is not a good thing, especially if the latter beneficiaries have to do absolutely nothing to maintain it. The late Duke of Westminster had something interesting to say about this sort of thing:
An FT reporter, working through a standard set of questions, once asked him what advice heโd give to young entrepreneurs keen to emulate his success.
โMake sure they have an ancestor who was a very close friend of William the Conqueror,โ he replied.
The U.S. generation-skipping transfer tax imposes a tax on both outright gifts and transfers in trust to or for the benefit of unrelated persons who are more than 37.5 years younger than the donor or to related persons more than one generation younger than the donor, such as grandchildren. The generation-skipping tax will be imposed only if the transfer avoids incurring a gift or estate tax at each generation level.
For example, property is placed in a trust for the donor's child and grandchildren. The income may be distributed among the child and grandchildren in accordance with their needs and the principal of the trust will be distributed outright to the grandchildren following the child's death.
They are in a Grantor Retained Annuity Trust, basically they take the value at the time say $1,000,000 then you get to chop off 30% if non-marketable securities then you have to give an annuity to the grantor for a set time say 10 years of $70,000. Then after 10 years they have paid $700,000 worth of taxes and all the assets are now in a trust tax free for the trustee.

I want to give my trust a $100 bill. I tell the government I'm going to give myself $10 a year from the earnings of that $100 bill for 10 years. I will pay taxes on every $10 each year so the full value is taxed and the $100 bill goes into the trust without taxes.

Not in a GRAT. If the person dies during the 10 years you also lose the entire benefit of it. Then it is just passed down like regular inheritance and taxes must be paid.
[deleted] ยท 1 points ยท Posted at 22:45:25 on June 7, 2017 ยท (Permalink)
In the above setting you only need to pay the annuity of $10 each year for $10 years. If the value of the $100 goes up to $100,000 you don't pay any taxes because the price is based off the initial GRAT inception.
[deleted] ยท 1 points ยท Posted at 23:27:09 on June 7, 2017 ยท (Permalink)
It is mainly used for people who own companies and want to pass down the ownership to their children. So you can use the earnings of the company to pay the annuity and you also get tax benefits if it's a privately held company.

If you are assigning a value to control, it becomes an asset that is taxable when transferred.
Well you report the value of the trust assets yourself (subject to risk of audit/adjustment) and they typically are reported with discounts for lack of marketability etc.
But there's no reason you couldn't take those same discounts when you report the assets on an estate return on death, so the difference is when you pay taxes, not how you report the value to the IRS.
I'm curious as to how some of the trust stuff work. If I'm the "primary trustee" does that mean that I "own", or merely control the assets. If I am given a trust can I buy a house with it, die, and pass control to my kids without taxes? Can I do this forever even if all of it is above the inheritance tax threshold?

Technically, I don't think a trust is actually a legal entity (i.e., it is different than a corporation in that sense). It's just a relationship between parties with respect to divvied up property rights: The trustee owns the assets (has title), but that ownership is subject to the beneficial rights of the beneficiaries, which give rise to a fiduciary relation. Hence that doctrine (merger? joinder? been a while since the bar) where a trust ceases to exist if all the control/benefit rights end up in a single person's hands - at that point, it's effectively just fee simple ownership anyway. (To continue the comparison with a corp: if you own all shares of Apple, it doesn't cease to exist.)
The rest of what you say sounds right. For example what you're saying re revocable trusts going to the taxable estate is 100% right in CA - I'm working on something where that is playing a major role right now, actually.
Sorry for the nitpick (but you know you would have done it too - that shits in our blood).
The basis step-up is only available for assets transferred through death. It doesn't apply to assets held in trust since title changes hands prior to the benefactor's death.
Also, basis step-up has no bearing on inheritance tax which is paid by the decedent's estate before assets are distributed to heirs.
When assets are initially contributed into the trust, the benefactor must file a gift tax return and effectively pre-pay any inheritance tax that would have been owed on those assets at the time of their death.
Isn't this the loophole? Can't you think of so many ways where you pay the trust for certain services, which make it a payment instead of a gift?
Also, the trust must pay income tax each year on any undistributed earnings from the assets it holds.
Aha! Undistributed earnigns: just make sure the trust doesn't earn shit but keeps investing. You could create a circular trust which just invests in one another each year ...

I've been going through this process and I'm pretty sure your mostly mistaken here.
Profit is taxed even if it's not distributed.
And "investing"in the way you're using it doesn't save tax.
Yeah ... but it is my understanding trusts/non-profits never make a profit; they have a result.
I have no background in finance, btw: I know shit about the subject except that I know a good accountant can create situations where nothing needs to be paid.
The spirit of the law is to protect a family's money from being taxed into oblivion every time someone dies.
If you have a fortune, your family makes a decent living, and you have 4 kids, not only are you quartering the families wealth, it would get taxed at x% each time. Simply dying and being taxed would wipe a families fortune in a generation or two.
Worse still, if your family doesn't want to spend the money, or is rich enough not to, they dont have to pay the US X% of dads money simply because he died. If a a teacher, for instance, inherits, Daddy CEOs 1 million, instead of just giving Uncle Sam 40% off the top just because he died, she can set it up in a trust, live a decent life and retire, then be taxed when she actually uses the money.

That's kinda the whole point: society has seen, empirically, that we do NOT want an aristocracy as it creates inequality. THAT is why a huge tax on inheritance is beneficial to society: a beneficiary is never guaranteed to be a good one. And over time we have seen that it sets up dynasties. That the game 'Monopoly' is correct: it is just a concentrator of wealth and has time after time PROVED to be a bad thing which sets up societal situations which we as a society really want to avoid.
Inheritance tax is good and should be called anti-aristocracy tax.
I'm all for it, just needs to be adjusted. Blanket 30-40% is just utterly ridiculous.
Example A. Rich kid inherits 100 mil. The 35% tax wont hurt him that much but the massive amounts of cash involved allow him to find work arounds using investments, real estate, etc simply because he can. He can also afford to pay a commission to a professional to shield to him from the tax. 35 million dollars gives him a massive incentive to cheat and the ability to do so.
Example B. Small business owner dies and and leaves 500k to 1 child in an unrelated field. Child has no plans to touch the money till retirement anyway but has to give uncle sam off 40% right away, and then get taxed again and again every year until retirement. Instead, it can grow in a trust and be taxed as income when the money is accessed.
Solving the problem is complex. I dont know the answer. The problem is, removing the workarounds will not stop dynastic wealth and will only affect the bottom end of people receiving inheritances.
Sure, a billionaire will this leave a better legacy. But that billionaire does deserve something for his efforts even though nothing indicates his progency is worthy of that.
The thing is that everyone SHOULD make it on their own. No matter what the parent did ... shit, the inherent starting bonus is more than enough (proper food, great education, excellent contacts, etc). If the kid is deserving, they can do something with it. If they can't? Well, fuck 'em.
Same for the poor kid. There's no way they can benefit from the leftovers of a poor parent. Fine. But they money of that rich kid's parent can pay for decent food and education, infrastructure for the entire society. Let there be at least a BIT of meritocracy!

And is that not the problem right there? This means the idiot grandkid benefits too!

Except that is almost never the case! Poor parent leaves nothing!
Look: I am opposed to rich people having their kids have all the advantage: because that is not how genetics work! Everyone should have the same chance. Start with enough food and environmental impulses to mature optimally, and then see who actually prospers.
But history shows that rich/powerfull people do not always have smart/productive progency. And thus inherited wealth is a bad thing.
and will only affect the bottom end of people receiving inheritances.
THIS is a law thing! Only laws do that! Make inheritance below 100k exempt and above 90% taxable and you get more money to run a better society! A billionaire should not have the ability to make his idiot son/daughter powerful due to the mere fact of inheritance! And a poor person leaving a couple of grand cannot do that either, so why not?
Double what's now reality (40-45%) ... except that in reality the mega-rich NEVER pay that.
Except that is almost never the case! Poor parent leaves nothing!
You just denied the existence of every income class between poverty and opulence to support your argument.
Uhm, what? Poor people leave debt, middle class leave a few grand to maybe at max a hundred. How did I deny the existence of
every income class between poverty and opulence to support your argument.
?
But history shows that rich/powerfull people do not always have smart/productive progency. And thus inherited wealth is a bad thing.
Now you're spouting nonsense.
Yeah, look at Russia, look at the French revolution. Rome. China. Inherited power has produced the most insane and idiotic despots humans have ever known. Only due to their parents.How can you deny the historic evidence of that fact?

The facts bear me out. Have an informed discussion, provide impeccable sources/calculations or concede.
it's funny how you need post this dubious graph when you can simply google 'median american inheritance' and find its in the low 6 figures in half a second. The fact that most estates in the middle class will contain a home that is owned by the deceased blows all those graphs out of the water.
Dubious ... I've linked a bloody pdf prepared by the U.S. Department of Labor and the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics.
when you can simply google 'median american inheritance' and find its in the low 6 figures in half a second.
And you then realise that's a meaningless figure due to the fact that 75% get nothing. Zero. Zilch. No home, nada.
A definition of middle class is white-collar workers who do not have advanced degrees (so no manual labourers, but also no doctors or lawyers). Or one could hold that it is the central third or even half of the Bell curve of income distribution.
Read that pdf.
Because the first thing I did was
simply google 'median american inheritance' and find its in the low 6 figures in half a second.
And discovered it was statistical bullshit, which was why I went looking for actual data.
The fact that most estates in the middle class will contain a home that is owned by the deceased blows all those graphs out of the water.
And among the 25% that do get something (aka the middle class) there's something there. It's not linear. If you receive anything at all, it starts with a home.
And among the 25% that do get something (aka the middle class)
No, that's the upper 25%. Amongst who are the incredibly rich, who skew the numbers. Even a lot of the 'middle class' don't get anything, no matter your definition of 'middle class'.
It's not linear.
EXACTLY! Because it's almost quadratic if not following an 'e' exponent! Starts low, remains low, then at the end goes up.
If you receive anything at all, it starts with a home.
No, it does not. Read my links. Before you reply, read the bloody pdf! It's starting to piss me off that you either haven't or do not understand the numbers/statistics there!
The problem here is your definition of the middle class. It's it white collar workers. Dentists, lawyers, contractors, plumbers, and small business owners are the middle class.
It's really not. It's taxing a financial transaction.
Also, it's not healthy for a country to have unchecked dynasties of wealth. The "death tax" only kicks in if you are leaving someone more than $5 million. It amazes me that anyone else actually cares about it.

In Sweden we removed inheritance tax in 2005. Nobody is complaining and nobody wants it back.
You could make this multiple taxation argument about almost every dollar used, so I don't find it that convincing. But as you do rightly point out with your second argument, a better way to think about it is whether the particular event should be taxed.
You aren't really being taxed for dying per se; you are being taxed for transferring money across generations. (To illustrate: If you die penniless, there's no tax assessed.) I think that's sensible, but reasonableness minds can def disagree on this.
Well having a trust and receiving an inheritance aren't the same thing in practice. Trusts have restrictions a simple inheritance doesn't. It's not just a way to pass down money without the estate tax.

The goal is that individuals don't own anything. All assets are held by the trust and the members can use the assets.
Same process of people that use firearm trusts to buy NFA items. Upon death, they aren't confiscated by the government as that individual didn't own it in the first place. The trust did. Possession transfers to whomever else is a trustee.
The fact that the money is in a trust does not exempt it from estate taxes. Trusts can be used as a tool to minimize the tax due, but it's not a magic wand you can just wave and avoid tax.

Each individual can only give $5.4 million (or $10.8 million with spouse) total and any additional is hit by an inheritance tax.
So it only is for the ultra wealthy. It's taxed at 40% even though it's already been taxed. It's to limit the ability to just hoard mad wealth for years.
It's one of many reasons why it's very difficult for a family to remain filthy rich for more than 3 generations. I'm only in accounting, but in financial planning that's a serious concern.
It's also why you see really rich families like William Randolph Hearst's heirs donating Hearst Castle because it's just going to be taxed at an absurd rate.

Oh I'm not supporting it. I'm just saying it rarely effects anyone.
If your family is leaving over $10 million in inheritance to you you're going to live just fine. It's more fucked when the kids don't do jack shit with their life and then their grand kids don't do jack shit etc.
I'm in accounting, so I've done tax returns like this and it's kinda just sad, but I don't know if I'll go as far to say that it's not fair.
If it's 2-4 kids splitting $10 million each generation that's still $2.5-$5 million untaxable. If they're just getting modest 6% returns that's $150,000 to $300,000 a year for just sitting on their butt. This doesn't even include the fact that those returns are likely capital gains taxed at only 20%.
They probably also outright bought a home that they aren't paying a mortgage on, is appreciating in value, when housing costs are as absurd as they are currently.
It's whatever I think there's a reasonable argument to be made on both sides of it. $10 million of inheritance is a lot of cash, and they still are getting money on top of that its just taxed at a really high rate. I personally would like to not see it go away entirely, but instead to have realistic rates that go up incrementally from $10 million-5 billion in inheritance or whatever. The fact that someone making just over $10 million is getting hit by that 40% rate is pretty wack, but I don't think the inheritance tax in general is ethically wrong.

Nice little trick to avoid contributing to society, what society had decided should be contributed. Kind of like everyone deciding to pay x amount of the bill including tip, so you just take a little off your bill to save money, knowing there's enough to to cover it.

You only get taxed on inheritance over $5.4 million/parent, so $10.8 million.
So unless your parents are in the 1% you get to take advantage of it! Lucky you!
Well I imagine a lot of it is coming from the Louis Dreyfus corporation, which is HUGE. Few years ago their gross revenue was 55 BILLION(according to wiki at least), they make up "10% of the world's agricultural trade flows". They're family surprisingly doesn't seem all that big and they own 90% of the company, so if they ever tried to sell it I'm sure they would all be worth a couple pretty pennies.

Beats headphones to Bose
Probably not the best comparison, both aren't really bad headphones, but they target a very specific frequency response. The Bose sound isn't particularly neutral, it's basically part of the brand. Instead their noise cancelling is truly outstanding.
Just the streaming rights for Seinfeld were $160 million 2 years ago. After the show had already been in continious worldwide syndication/reruns for 25 years and had been released on DVD. The key here is being a co-creator, he wouldn't have done so well had he been "merely" a actor.
I just don't get why she did those Old Navy commercials. Did she own part of the company and is invested in it's success? She couldn't care about the next to nothing amount of money she got compared to her networth.
She was on a hit TV show and is worth over a billion!
It's still incredibly popular and I don't think he was just an actor. I believe he wrote and may have had other high up positions on the show. He also has written for a lot of other content. And Bee movie.
Jesus. I'm always fascinated by the life stories of comedians who make it in show business. You hear stories about guys like Seinfeld, Letterman, Leno, Jon Stewart and others starting out in comedy and living in the shittiest apartments and barely making ends meet (borrowing money, working multiple jobs, bumming rides, etc). None of them could have ever imagined the kind of fame and fortune they'd achieve by telling jokes. How could Seinfeld ever think he'd end up being an almost billionaire when he was starting out doing open mics?
Louis Dreyfus Company is a global merchant company that is involved in agriculture, food processing, international shipping, and finance. It also owns and manages hedge funds, ocean vessels, develops and operates telecommunications infrastructures and is involved in real estate development, management and ownership. Louis Dreyfus is one of the "ABCD" quartet of companies - alongside Archer Daniels Midland, Bunge and Cargill - that dominates world agricultural commodity trading.
Dreyfus makes up about 10% of the world's agricultural product trade flows.
Damn, Jerry is almost a billionaire? I didn't realize he was worth so much. Is that all just money from his sitcom, or why does he have so much compared to other actors?
I just googled their respective net worths...
Looks like Dreyfus has 200 million. And Seinfeld has 870 million. But who knows how accurate the results are.
Wow Jerry is worth that much? I know him and Larry David received $250 million selling Seinfeld into syndication but where else did he get all that?
I believe the number I'm just curious
Unfortunately Adam Sandler is about 10x wealthier, though it's because he produces and directs McDonalds grade bullshit on a regular basis and has his fingers in every step of the process.

Arnold was a self-made millionaire before he started acting. And that was a very long time ago. Not many people take a movie role in exchange for a private jet. The guy will never, ever have money issues.
Totally agree although I wonder why he does ads for shite like mobile strike (phone game). Whether he sees it as part of his brand, genuinely enjoys being out there or ?
He was an A-list celebrity and governor of a state that is larger than a lot of countries. He could go make a speech tomorrow and make more than most people do in a year. No matter how much Maria got in the divorce, this guy will never be poor.
Politicians make most of their Money from public speaking events. Based on demand, they charge more or less and get tens or hundreds of thousands of dollars per effect. Hillary Clinton is well known for her half million appearance cost
Then why is everyone talking about how him being a governor is the thing that makes him way more money than being a movie superstar? Check mate, atheists. Keep flip flopping more than a tourist wearing socks.
What is that even supposed to mean? Do you think somebody should be paid tens of millions of dollars a year to be a politician? That does work if you are a dictator, but California is not a dictatorship.
People may disagree with his politics, but the guy took one of the biggest offices he could in this country (he wasn't born here, so he can't be president - but he probably would have been if that was not law) and he sure as hell didn't do it for the money. Being the governor of California is equivalent to being the prime minister of another country. California has a bigger gross domestic product than France.
I've heard him speak at a college, and the guy genuinely loves new things. New ideas, being innovative. I'm sure he sees his ad as a contribution to being "with it". He's a very motivated person. He does not like to be told he cannot do something.

you're kidding right? because he makes money from doing it. those stupid phone games make a shitton of cash. they could have paid him a million bucks to do the ad (for a day of his time) and it would be worth it to them.
You say that but none of us are in his position =P
The guy already has hundreds of thousands he can donate to charity if he wants to. The amount he probably earns every day from royalties and his business interests probably don't even make it worthwhile acknowledging an opportunity unless it is worth a completely ridiculous AF amount of money. And even then he wouldn't have the time to spend it. I guess I'd have to ask Arnold =P

You're being a little condescending. No one is underestimating how much he got paid or how hideous the mobile gaming industry is or their profits. What is being said is even the 100k you are talking about is pocket change to the rich. For the record I think having arnies brand associated with the game is worth millions not 100k.
You may be right in him seeing it as a way of donating or as someone else already said it's possible he's an investor which makes way more sense than him working for pocket change.

He's divorced, isn't he? That often costs about half of what you have.
Earnings after their married were probably handled differently. I also imagine he wasn't a dick about it and gave her most of what she wanted. People knew about it for a long time and the press kept it quiet.

Was he? I thought he was pretty broke in pumping iron. Although i suppose that's more of a documentary. Either way it's a great film if anyone hasn't seen it.
I've never watched the entire movie, but it seems like he was just concerned about smoking weed and getting laid. Which is probably what any other guy would do in his situation. He was a world-class body builder when the movie was filmed, so I imagine he was already doing okay.
More proof he is a somewhat decent guy. He had issues with his personal life, and some people don't agree with his politics, but he has always come across as a good person. He could have just retired decades ago.

Not actually. It's not about first or second instance. Second (or third etc.) use of a comment can serve to a comment chain because it can be funny/meta... And it can be send by original commenter or some other user. It wouldn't be problem. Because the reason is not directly karma but make people/yourself laugh. The thing that make it funny is people know it's a copy from top of thread or top of that chain but it's also fits perfectly in that second use. People would be like "haha this is from top but fits in here just great" and laugh. But in this kind of case its only reason is karma and it's inappropriate. And they even did it 11 times. So, it's not about first/second appearance but creativity/stupidity. Which is not even close to what Mr. Octopus Tetris said.
Kramer: puts down a live chicken "So Jerry. I hear you turned down Kesha."
Jerry and George together: "What's a Kesha?"
Kramer: gathering hats from Jerry's closet "What's a Kesha? What's a Kesha?! Wow, you're really out of touch Jerry." begins trying different hats on the chicken
Elaine: "Hello boys. Uh, what's with the chicken?"
Kramer: "It's for the show tonight."
Elaine looks puzzled and brushes off the comment
Jerry: "So Elaine, what do you think about a woman just introducing herself with a hug?"
Elaine: "What kind of hug?"
Jerry: "You know, a full on hug. Both arms all the way around."
Elaine: "Do you know her?"
Jerry: "That's just it, I'm really not sure."
Elaine: "Well I think it's OK if you know her."
George: "I don't see why you're complaining. I wish more women would hug me."
How could you possibly not know that? That was the most George role he played outside of Seinfeld. He was basically Costanza in that film. With a tail!
Definitely, but not Dreyfus level. Not even Seinfield got to Dreyfus level. But that's okay because they also seem really happy with their paths (except for Kramer, lol)
While I didn't enjoy the show myself she also had the lead role in The New Adventures of Old Christine which lasted 5 seasons and for which she won an Emmy and was nominated for several more. And she's won 5 Emmys for Veep so I'd say she's done pretty damn well for herself. She's definitely the one I think of having the best post-Seinfeld career.
Sorry, you're mistaken, I believe she was actually briefly the subject of some memes on /r/me_irl - that's right, a humble subreddit launched her along with Jerry Seinfeld and Jason Alexander to stardom. There are rumors that they're now planning a sitcom.

Having never paid attention to Seinfeld ever, I learned this from an Ivy League alum who claimed to know one of her relatives (this was long before Veep). They claimed she was set to inherit the family fortune because she made a name for herself and didn't depend on her family's fortune. They also said it was valued more than Seinfeld and David combined.
I believe the family were French shipping magnates.

I never understood the "They get half" idea. Unless she was blowing him in every scene of a movie he acted in she wasn't the one making things happen. I get support, I highly doubt she was doing house chores though. And while I'm all for equality, that's the opposite of equality if you're entitled to something for just being a spouse.

Carson married former model Joanna Holland in 1972, his 3rd wife, after Johnny was already rich and famous. They got divorced in 1983, and because of California's Community Property Laws she got 50% of Carson's wealth.
She did NOTHING to produce that wealth because Johnny had did all the work years before he even met he.

Yours ended fine because you did everything together. You're both normal people making normal contributions to a partnership. They're not talking about that, they're talking about situations where one person is a normal person making normal contributions, and the other is exceptional and has obviously achieved mastery in something that has led to great wealth, that would have done so regardless of who they married.
I don't think it's unreasonable to argue that such situations warrant a closer look at what is truly just. A lot of these situations you could be really, really generous about the ordinary spouse's contributions, and leave them enough to be very comfortable, and still have it be a small fraction of the overall fortune.
If a couple are together before the wealth is accumulated think of it as a business partnership. People parties combine their wealth, thier talents and take different responsibilties.
When a partnership is dissolved the one choosing to leave the partnership should not be made to walk away without a share of the business they helped build.
Now for most of recent history when a woman left a husband she was leaving penniless and without the children. When a man left a woman he could take his wealth and just piss off to the next county.
It has taken a long time to correct that injustice, an injustice that still happens in the middle east and India for example on a regular basis.
If you are arguing that the current Western legal system has over corrected in family law then you need to view such an over correction in a full historical context.
I think we can both agree that the legal systems needs to be updated.
However anytime family law is discussed it seems to become a battle of the sexes thing (which I saw alot of in this thread) rather than having a system that creates true equality via nuanced laws. Laws and policies that will make it easier for people to met each other on an equal footing and form negotiated partnerships.
My personal opinion is that it should be based on equality, but it seems like women are highly favored in family courts because of left over stigmas from previous generations that women are the care providers.
Equality for everyone is a difficult but noble cause. Making good law takes experts and an educated public that supports them plus a political system that actually pays more than lip service to ideals of equality.

When me and my friend were 18 he was telling me some pretty serious stuff about his family. Parents were divorced when he was very little and he used to always stay in his dads house. He'd spent a lot of time with his uncle too though and when it transpired that somehow his 'uncle' was his real dad but his 'dad' who had raised him his whole life had no idea. My friend was telling me about this and the only thing I could think of was that line
'18 years 18 years and on the 18th birthday he found out it wasn't his'
Man that's such bullshit. I don't understand why someone who almost certainly had little to do with the fortune gets half. I suspect they didn't give him half of her stuff. But oh god she has to maintain her current lifestyle, we couldn't ever allow a woman to be without.

There was an interview with him somewhere, where he briefly discussed this. He said it didn't really bother him, as in the end, it's all going to his kids anyway. Whether it was from him and his wife as a married couple, or them separated.
โI donโt have anything near what Iโm reputed to have. My wife got half of it, the whole thing is ridiculous, and yet people are obsessed with the fact that Iโve made millions of dollars [from Seinfeldโs] syndication.โ
Any asset or income earned while married and living together (1993-2007) is considered jointly owned under California community property law. So she got what was hers already. It could also be said she lost half to him.

I think they were probably pretty evenly split in terms of Producer/Writer money from the show, plus Jerry would probably get additional pay as an actor, and Larry left a couple seasons early at it's peak popularity. Add in his Stand-up Career, a few movies, and his car show, and I'm sure he has Larry beat, even with Larry's Curb money.
I'm annoyed if anyone cites anything BUT google nowadays. Out of all the sources anyone could cite, Google is most likely the most credible. Having the collective knowledge of all of human society at your fingertips is quite... well...
His annual royalty checks from Seinfeld alone are in the tens of millions (at one point it was $60M per year, but that was a few years back). So, quite possibly. It's not like actors are publicly traded companies, though, so everything is going to be based off estimates and projections.
He's not really an actor. He's a comedian. The difference is that actors play anyone but themselves while a comedian can't play anyone but himself. He's probably the richest comedian forsure. Definitely richest self-made comedian.
Probably up there. I believe he and Larry David both made a cool billion when they syndicated Seinfeld.
EDIT: My mistake, the syndication deal was worth $1.7 billion and Larry and Jerry each walked away with around $250 million plus whatever they make every time an episode is played (multiple times every day/night every day of the year) which some estimate earns them an additional $200 million a year.

Jerry makes close to $20 Million a year on just reruns and DVD sales, from a 25 yr old show.
Bill Cosby would be higher, but he diluted his in drinks.
Well, first he's not really an actor (he'd be the first to admit). And, he's also not that rich because of his acting. What he really is... is a comic. And he's also not super rich because of his comedy.
The reason he's super rich is because he is a creator and executive producer of one of the most popular shows in syndication. Since the show went off the air, it has earned billions of dollars in syndication revenue, earning Jerry hundreds of millions of dollars.
Yes, certainly. He's technically an actor. Sorry if it sounded like I was criticizing your comment. You're not wrong, and neither is Wikipedia.
My two points were simply:
Acting is not his trade, or anything he has worked hard to be better at. His real work has been on the craft of standup comedy. Second to that, probably his writing.
Acting is not how he has made his fortune, except to the degree that he was an actor (playing himself) in the TV show that made him his money (but that money has been made in his capacity as executive producer, creator, and writer).
Also note that the other stars of that series -- who really were actors, and very good ones -- made some good money on the show, and negotiated some DVD royalties, but have made next to nothing, compared to what Jerry has made, in his non-acting capacity.
There's a difference between being paid the most and making the most. If I get laid $1000 for one day of work and then I'm unemployed for the rest of the year and someone else earns $100 a day all year then that other guy is going to be richer than me assuming we both started with the same amount.

Maybe for scripted prime-time, but direct compensation for daytime stars, and weirdly enough for the low-rent UHF stuff like Judge Judy, gets up to mid-eight figures annually.

Seinfeld was the most popular show during its run. By the end they were making millions. Then it got syndicated on like a dozen different networks, so every time you see a Seinfeld rerun he's getting a check. He also does stand up comedy shows in large venues occasionally.
Plus him and Larry David were the creators. So he is getting royalty money to a different level than the rest of the cast.

More than just that, he and Larry David have profit sharing deals with the owner (I think it's Warner Bros), so when the rights are sold for airing (syndication, Hulu, etc.), he and David get a big cut. A few years back, a syndication deal was reported to net $400M each to David and Seinfeld. That's where the big money is at, in owning a piece of the actual product, instead of starring, producing, writing, etc.
The 400 million dollar check is mentioned when Larry David complains that an HBO executive stole some of his shrimp. That was a funny scene in the HBO special he did before Curb, if I am not mistaken. "Larry, you've got four hundred million dollars! I think you can afford more shrimp."
edit: And that was 20 years ago. He and Jerry have received multiple 250+ million dollar paydays. I bet they've pulled north of 750 at least. And that is not including the ungodly amount Jerry was paid to act on Seinfeld. He turned down 5 million per episode to do 2 more seasons. That's over 200 million he turned down for just acting.
Well, that's a cynical view. If you bought 10 of your favorite family and friends 1 million worth of houses and cars each, you'd still have 240 million.
Cynical, but supported by the data - most lottery winners lose it all for a similar reason. It usually doesn't stop at just 10 million of expenditures.

Lottery money is dwarfed by Seinfeld money. Also, Jerry is smart and earned his riches over a period of time, most Lottery players are poor and don't have experience with money nearing the amount they are winning (obviously that's why they're playing the lottery).
You can't give money to everyone, but if you're smart and count your money, you can make a few people very wealthy, a small community comfortable, and a small troop of kids college educated without lo*sing it all.
Especially when you consider that Seinfeld continues to make money rather than just one huge sum all of a sudden.

You can plop 80% of it in a moderately safe mutual fund, retire, still have 50 million dollars left over and the interest from the rest will come in every month (enough for you to buy a new house and throw a party every single month).
Ignorant people lose that much money. Some more well-informed people might say you could see even larger gains by diversifying some of the money into more risky investments. The point is it would be very easy to live comfortably forever and still spend joyfully.
I hear this stat quoted all the time, but I've always wondered about the socio-economic status prior to winning the lottery. The types of people that most play the lottery are, I imagine, lower educated and poorer or they'd likely know the folly of attempting it in the first place. Wouldn't this then explain a less conservative, more frivolous spending of the money?
I'm genuinely asking because when I see this stat it often makes me wonder if I'd blow it all in that situation, and I just can't imagine how I could. I imagine historical data must've been gathered regarding the situation of those who have won, right?

Thats why Bruce Willis got the biggest check ever for a single movie. Instead of taking a paycheck he took a much larger share than normal of the profits for 6th sense.
While I understand that, it's shitty. It's a poorly done and should eat cock. There is already a system in place that indicates orders of magnitude. $1M is 1 megadollars or 1x106 dollars, or a million. I get that M is the numeral for 1000 in some shit nobody uses anymore, but if you want to express a value, dollar or otherwise, in a globally accepted, modern system, then it is on you to get your shit together.

I think this is a raw deal structure for creators as their work will continue earning the platform money presumably forever, but right now, Netflix is borrowing enough money to pay out big attractive lump sums.

I don't think it is a "raw deal" for creators at all, as a matter of fact I think it is about time they had to live under the same rules as people do in most all other industries. The creative industry is the only one that exists where somehow we as a society have decided that it is OK and fair for someone to do one piece of work and then get paid for it for the rest of their natural lives. It's a side effect of modern copyright law and its over arching and overly generous extensions.

Except this is just ceding the rights to Netflix to earn money from the creators work for the rest of Netflix' life.
While copyright law has far overstepped its bounds, that's just a result of the entrenched players of the entertainment industry lobbying to bend the law to their favor just like every other industry does. It has nothing to do with we as a society supporting entitlement attitudes. If anything that is real capitalism at work; those creators have bargaining power and they are using it. I don't think you get those kinds of deals if you're a nobody.
Isn't that like the best case scenario when you're an actor? I know I'd sure as hell like to be involved in as much production as possible. And making money off each credit isn't too bad either.
Well, you could be Louis CK and do every part of your show. Create, produce, direct, write, star, edit. If he could play the parts of the other actors, I assume he would. That would also let him do craft services because he'd just have to bring in the stuff he likes each day.
But he's on FX so he probably gets like $18 per episode. Some episodes really seem like that budget would fit.
If he ever makes one of the biggest shows of all time and can get decades of syndicate he'll be loaded.

FX gives a lot of creative freedom, did you watch the last season of Sons of Anarchy? It pretty much turned into GTA with all the killings and explosions.
In the episode "The Checks" Jerry receives hundreds of royalty checks from a Japanese television show worth about a quarter each. He gets carpal tunnel syndrome from having to sign all the royalty checks. This prevents him from being able to free three Japanese tourists who are stuck sleeping in a chest of drawers in Kramer's apartment.

There's a Seinfeld episode based around signing checks you receive. There's a Simpson's episode based around signing checks you receive (source).
Now I've never given or received a check in my life, but for these to exist I have to believe you do in fact need to sign checks you receive. I know it's TV but these kind of plot points are generally based on reality.
"Bart the Fink" is the fifteenth episode of The Simpsons' seventh season. It originally aired on the Fox network in the United States on February 11, 1996. In this episode, Bart ruins Krusty the Clown's career by accidentally exposing Krusty as one of the biggest tax cheats in American history. Driven to despair, Krusty fakes a suicide in order to start life anew as a sailor; feeling guilty for what he did, Bart convinces Krusty to become a television clown again.

Potentially.
It really all boils down to the deal you sign though, we don't know what he and the network agreed to.
Jerry had a great deal, and it has paid off nicely. It's worth noting that Seinfeld wasn't just a good show though, it was a groundbreaking show at the time and had a true cult following. It's meta was unlike much else at the time, and all the "in jokes" really just added to the value.
Which sucks. As Jason points out in the link, the fact that Seinfeld is still being syndicated actually hurts his career in a way. Same with Richards. They both got so typecast and it's still happening.
When I learned this I always felt like Jerry and LD were acting like dicks, but then I realized that they are actually dicks, they don't even hide the fact. They embrace it. So w/e I'll still watch Seinfeld when it's on because it's better than most anything else on today.

If I recall Jason Alexander said in an interview that the network wouldn't allow the rest of the cast to have a piece of the show so they were compensated very well for the last season. Jerry and Larry are the only ones collecting syndication cheques
It's even crazier considering it's still, consistently broadcast on a nightly basis on multiple television networks. There aren't many other shows that are that widespread or still broadcast in syndication for that long.
Even Friends isn't broadcast that often anymore, but Seinfeld is still running strong on Fox, Peachtree, and many other networks.

That's called syndication, and Seinfeld is definitely the top dog. It's why he and Larry David could simply not work ever again, and still have enough money to keep them, and their next few generations, rich.
Larry David executive produced and wrote on the show, so that's 2 syndication checks coming his way for every re-run, and Jerry wrote, produced, and starred in it.. Pretty much set for life+.
Dear Leader: All right, but hear me and hear me well. The day will come. Oh yes, mark my words Seinfeld. You're day of reckoning is coming. When an evil wind will blow through your little play world and wipe that smug smile off your face. And I'll be there, in all my glory, watching, watching as it all comes crumbling down.

Same in Poland. Friends still are in reruns (each year in different, more obscure channel) and I've never seen Seinfeld on TV. If I'd have to judge classic older US shows popularity only on the base of polish TV reruns over the years I'd say Friends, big gap, than maybe M.A.S.H. Which I'm ok with, M.A.S.H. is still awesome.
No Seinfeld. I think it's because Seinfeld is more hermetic.

Have you ever been to New York City? I think Seinfeld is also one of the great period pieces about NYC in the '90s, and I'm curious how that might have influenced your expectation / excitement. Does your spoken English have any New Yorker in it?
Yeah, I've been to NYC, and it was cool recognizing stuff from the show, but I have always been very into pop culture so I had loads of expectations from watching all types of different movies/tv shows from NYC, not specifically just Seinfeld. It was like walking around inside of my tv screen, haha.
My spoken english is a pretty "bland" american version. Almost everything on tv in Norway is in english, so you pick up your spoken english from a whole variety of "accents." I do enjoy the way they speak in Seinfeld and NYC in general though. I have actually watched videos on youtube trying to emulate it, but I was never any good at it.
Yeah I also loved Seinfeld growing up, but it took on new layers after living here for a while as an adult.
Having lived in the Upper West Side (where Jerry / Elaine / Kramer lived), the outer borough of Queens (where George and his parents lived), and downtown in the East Village (where Kramer calls from panicking) the hometown resonance of the show is just perfect.

The Simpsons are certainly bigger in Chile. Almost everybody of any age can quote them and get the quotes. Reruns are every day for an hour (two episodes), and sometimes they do marathons on weekend.
In my specific case, Seinfeld is way more popular in my immediate family than Friends.

2 Seinfeld episodes in a row each day here in Sweden. And then they both rerun later in the evening.
probably because friends is slewn with american pop culture that seinfeld simply does not have, thus it has global appeal due to its exportable americanism.
seinfeld is essentially the anti-americanism, the way of life of people who aren't deemed as the global ambassadors of america, aka, real people.
A lot of Seinfeld was based in word play, like "Mulva" and "sidler" and "close talker" which may not translate well into other languages.

I can't say anything about USA, that's why it was a maybe. However, as a European who travels a lot I can tell you that people in every country of EU know and love Friends and Seinfeld is basically unknown, it wasn't even translated to most languages and didn't run.
Also, wikipedia doesn't agree with you on the most popular series, Friends and Seinfeld have a 2:2 tie.

I love Seinfeld and I actually watched it for the first time just last year, so I don't argue about how big, awesome and important it was. But it never happened in Europe, I don't know why. Maybe the humour is different. You know, it does beed a few episodes or even seasons to get you on.
Oh and we don't do stand ups much, so some stand up comedian from US with a show of his own name? Huh? That's just not our thing.

I mean, who is the audience for Seinfeld? Friends are about a young and attractive group of people, who are fun and quirky, living in a big city and their dreams come true eventually.
Seinfeld though! A group of sociopaths who don't learn, don't evolve, make people around them miserable and in the end they're literally at the same spot they begin. Seinfeld is not a story, it's a random array of situations, basically. That's why it's so good to rewatch or catch on tv - you can watch it from any episode and don't lose much 'world'.
What you do with your friends in your private time doesn't really belong in /r/videos. I'm guessing /r/gaybros or similar is the subreddit for that sort of talk.

Oh don't insult me to make yourself feel bigger. I'm 32, dick. Little butt hurt at my comment? You see the point was that imo, friends isn't in the same league as Seinfeld. Not a terrible show but not my cup of tea. But you decided to be a condescending prick. So whatever makes you sleep at night, sport.
Even today, it's one of the most highest rated shows on TV for it's time slot. In the US, three different TV networks air at least 2 episodes of Seinfeld per day. This costs the TV show very little money; all they have to do is pay for the syndication rights. They get advertisers during that timeslot that pay a decennt amount. It's free money for the networks, they don't have to do any work to make content to put on TV. And it's free money for those with the syndication rights: split between NBC, Seinfeld, David, and a few others. All you have to do is make a genius show, and you'll be living off royalties for the rest of your life.
The syndication was a $1.7 billion dollar deal, Larry and Jerry each netting about $250 million. Jerry makes an estimated $200 million a year on rerun checks
There are tons of shows nearly as popular as Seinfield in the history. You are leaving out A LOT....it's that he was a co-creator and negotiated very well at a time when syndication was HUGE.
So basically a show being super popular, being a creator/writer/actor, and timing in tv syndication history lead to him being worth SOOOOOOO much.
Oprah still has him beat.

Did a stand up routine in my town and I was so excited. That is, until I saw it was $150 bucks to go see him. Fuck that shit.
Not always - not sure how many reruns actors typically get paid for (varies by contract, I'm sure). Thou, if they (seinfield, david) own the rights, they're in the $$ for the next few decades at least.

It's worth noting that you can't get the kind of deal Seinfeld had anymore. Networks have wised up since then so that they get most of the syndication money now.
And it's not like anyone from Game of Thrones or other wildly popular TV shows. He's not just an actor on Seinfeld. He was a writer, producer, director, he is Seinfeld.
Don't forget Hulu picked up the streaming rights. All seasons locked down to one platform. That sure as hell cost a ton for he rights. At the very least, maybe every time an episode is streamed he's paid like five cents or something but I've already rewatched the seasons like 3 times ( my go to background or just screw around show to watch when I'm tired or down time at work ) I can imagine it's very popular on Hulu so whether he gets a percentage or was paid a bulk sum , that shit alone paid out millions.
Saw him this past January at a venue of about 3,000 people. I don't think he only does the biggest venues, I think he genuinely enjoys making a room full of people laugh.
IIRC, before the show ended, the network offered Jerry $1 million per episode for another season and he refused. Assuming he was making anywhere close to that beforehand, it's easy to imagine he had earned $50m-$100m just from the original run of the show. That kind of money buys you access to the best investment opportunities and the best financial advisers, so even without money coming in from syndication or other sources, it's easy to imagine he was able to grow that money substantially.

Different to say, Friends, which also made a ton of money, but it was almost evenly divided by a bunch of actors, and then only the actors salary, they didn't produce or directed.
Not to mention he probably was smart about investing that money and not wasting it in superfluous things, plus, I think no divorces :)
You also have to consider the era. Network TV had way bigger audiences tuning in back then than they do today with all the competition for eyeballs.
Example:
The Big Bang Theory was the #1 show last year and didn't even average 20 million viewers per episode.
Seinfeld in it's first year, before it was a hit when it was on a crappy night in a crappy time slot still brought in 22 million viewers. At it's height seasons later it was around 75 million viewers. You're talking about market share and tv ad dollars that the major networks and tv show creators will never, ever see again.
He was basically the John D. Rockefeller of sitcoms. The right product at the time and when America was buying it the most.
Edit: Sources are just wikipedia for each show. The Big Bang Theory actually dipped this season. It's all time high was the previous year with just barely 20.36 mil average.
Syndication is key. If you can get a network to run your show again, it's all money for no work. Similar to musicians who are a one-hit-wonder but their maybe one song is used in commercials and bumper music and whatnot, that you can be loaded for life...for one song.
When he and Larry David sold Seinfeld into syndication they each made 250 million dollars. Also he was one of the highest paid tv actor in the 90s making north of a million an episode for 9 seasons. Plus Amex endorsements. Then add the interest on it all and you get a billionaire basically.

Jerry: "So I'm standing there talking to this reporter, answering his questions, you know, and this lady walks up like she knows me, and does this hugging motion!"
George: "Hugging motion? Who does that?!"
Jerry, nodding: "This lady apparently. And I'm thinking to myself Oh No, do I know this person? Is this that girl I dated last week? I can't remember her name!"
George: "Mulva, her name was Mulva. What was the hugging motion like? Was it like this?"
George comes at Jerry with open arms, just as Kramer barges into the apartment...
Seinfeld was like the Superbowl of TV fiction, broke all sorts of records and basically created a genre, and he was at the head of it in multiple ways. When you're taking a sizeable percentage of something that big, you make a lot of money. If it goes worldwide, does well in home video and so on, those are vast amounts of sales and viewers. NBC reportedly offered him over $100 million to make another series, and they would have expected a profit.
It's easy to forget, or not know, just how enormous the sums of money involved in TV can be. Netflix recently paid Dave Chappelle $60 million for three specials.

Plus, somewhat relevant to your comment was that there was no Netflix back then, and even cable wasn't making too much original content. Hell the Sopranos hadn't even started on HBO yet. So the major networks were where all the money was even more so than we can imagine today.
Oh yea totally. Two already-filmed and edited Chappelle specials ready for release? Great package. Throw in a new one that's made just for them and you've got yourself enough to buy a few small island nations.
It's easy to forget, or not know, just how enormous the sums of money involved in TV can be.
Yes. A million dollars sounds like a lot to the average person, but when you have 30 million viewers, that's $0.33/viewer. I don't know anything about the costs to make the show (there are tons of people involved who all need to be paid) or what kind of rates advertisers pay per expected viewer, but when you're multiplying everything by such a large factor, small things really add up.
Lots of movies make over $100m in their opening weekends. The economics of movies is slightly more transparent than tv because the consumer is paying directly for their ticket, instead of paying for a subscription to a service or having a third party (advertisers) pay for their ticket, but it should make it clear the scale of money involved at the upper end of the spectrum.

It seems to be the show that kinda popularized the sitcom sub genre where things don't work out for the characters because of their own terrible personalities and stupidity. Also before Seinfeld sitcoms were wholesome and usually had some central lesson to teach the audience. ie, Full House, Cosby Show, Facts Of Life, etc. The characters on Seinfeld never learned any lessons and rarely did anything good for anybody.
MASH had warmth and morality. It wrested with deep issues, people trying to find a lighter way through the horrors of war while saving lives. Doing important things, not doing nothing in particular in NY. Original in its content, but not really like the Seinfeld niche at all.
None, it just seemed original at the time because the '70s and '80s TV shows were drastically realigning racially, writing individual scripts that tackled single new political issues each week, conceiving entire premises to address shifting gender roles, living situations and rebut demographic stereotypes (Mr. Belvedere, Charles in Charge, Who's the Boss, Three's Company) or creating tension with opposite-gender leads (Night Court, Cheers) or generational/political rifts (Family Ties, Coach). Seinfeld and David were baby-boomers, and New York guys who'd already worked in entertainment, so their autobiographical work was actually pretty relate-able to younger network execs at the time, to the point that they were invested enough in it to ignore bad testing and initially low ratings. Then Mad About You came along right at the time the old sitcoms were getting cancelled, and along with early romantic comedies cemented the template for Friends and most other sitcoms for the '90s.

Yup. Back in the late 90s sitcoms were the place to be. Ray Romano of "Everybody Loves Raymond" was earning $1.8mm per episode, and while it was pretty big it was no Seinfeld or Friends.
I remember when Larry King pissed him off by saying the show was cancelled. The idea of the show being cancelled is idiocy. I can see why Jerry was so annoyed by his ignorance that he walked off.
In the past 15 years, there probably hasn't been a single minute where an episode of Seinfeld isn't playing somewhere on Earth, on some random-ass TV station. Jerry Seinfeld is literally making money non-stop.
he and larry david are the creators, they structured the show in such a way that all dvd and streaming revenue and i believe most of the syndication money goes directly to them, the other elements of the show got paid for the episodes at the time, but very little residuals.

Thank you for clarifying. It makes sense, I just had no idea that he'd got syndication rights which explains why he's so significantly richer than other sitcom stars.
Yea like others said, if you look up what he makes just from Seinfeld syndication it's ridiculous. Like 80mil a year at one point or something. Plus Hulu recently picked it up as well, that wasnt cheap. In the last 20 years you usually can't turn the tv on without an episode or 2 of Seinfeld on somewhere at some point.

Ever notice that at any given time of day you can find a Seinfeld re-run on some network? He's getting paid every time they all play an episode. Also $170 mil from Hulu.

Seinfeld doesn't like it when people interrupt him while he's talking to someone... totally understandable regardless of how rich you are.
This is exactly it. He quite obviously doesn't know who the fuck she is. I sure as shit wouldn't recognize Kesha if I saw her in person, even at a celebrity event. I think Jerry probably keeps up with comedians to some degree nowdays, but probably has no clue who pop stars are. I bet he doesn't really even listen to much music, let alone top 40.
How? Everything he says seems pretty logical and the average person could come to the same conclusion about one the most famous people who came from television.
If you make accusations without any logic or explanations you are just a shit spouting orifice aka an asshole.

Jerry's money has "I-don't-give-a-fuck-who-you-are" money
It has nothing to do with money. He had no idea who she is (doesn't listen to her type of music probably) and isn't going to he getting a hug from a forward stranger mid interview. It could have been some unknown billionaire. As far as he know some stranger wanted to hug him and he wasn't about that. You can be poor and reject a hug from a stranger.
And "I'm going to be with a teenager and still be disgustingly successful afterwards" money

Combine with his genuine laugh, sense of humor and great stories in comediansincarsgettingcoffee, he seems to have hit the jackpot with the best qualities in life and really should be an inspiration to a lot of the young ones instead of all these "look at me now" people.
His is the only AMA where I see the celebrity flat out tell people they are wrong and then explain why they are wrong and what he considers right. It's done in a likable way though so nobody minds.

He literally said he didn't know who she was. He didn't not hug her because he knew and didn't care. He didn't hug her because he didn't know who she was, and so was confronted by an enthusiastic stranger, which can be alarming. So your comment might be true but it's a complete non sequitur and irrelevant as a response to this clip. This long ass diatribe is how I'm dealing with the rage I feel about your totally wrong interpretation, and piss poor comprehension. Those upvotes you've gathered are also perturbing, because it reminds us all that there are no shortage of dimwits and morons among us. Hopefully you can grow out of inconsiderately spreading your vile poison on the internet and become a better person. I believe in you.
Jerrys got all the bragging rights BUT to be frank he ONLY had one job! He was extremely lucky. It's like winning a lottery. If it wasnt for the show (seinfeld) he wouldve been a nobody, a typical struggling comedian.
Starred in it. Wrote it. Produced it. Most popular TV show ever (Even Game of Thrones or whatever dribble is popular these days doesn't compare). Every re-run still makes him money.

That's not true. MASH is probably more popular. When it aired it would pull 50+ point ratings. Meaning over half of TVs in the country were tuned into the telecast. Seinfeld never hit that type of rating. Plus, the MASH finale had 105 million people watching when it aired. Seinfelds finale had 76m viewers. MASH's viewership record stood until the 2009 Super Bowl.

So because he was the guy who wrote it and produced it, instead of some big company creating it and making the money, he went solo and just did it himself aye? Thats pretty sweet, I had no idea there was THAT much money in it all, but making money off the re-runs ensure he will be filthy rich forever.
I guess I know that Kesha is some sort of singer/songwriter but I would never be able to pick her out of a lineup of random blond starlets. Is every celebrity really expected to recognize every other celeb on sight? I think he handled it just fine.

I just looked her up on google images and I still don't think I could pick her out of that lineup. She has a very plain face/look (no judgement).
Doesn't help that I don't think I've ever seen two pictures of Kesha where she looked the same. Kinda like Lady Gaga for a few years, had no fucking clue what she actually looked like, just knew about all the crazy ass makeup and outfits.

She was pretty popular for a while. She had several songs on the billboard and they were catchy as hell. Then she kind of fell off the face of the earth. (Looked up why that might be on Wikipedia and seems she is, or was, in some kind of legal battle with her producer/stuido. So that is maybe a reason why she hasn't put anything out in years.)

Pics or it didnt happen
Edit: Matter of fact, google image search her and tell me you could pick her out of a line up of similar blondes
She, in my opinion, has a very unique look compared to most blonde pop stars. Her face doesn't really look like a typical starlette to me.
That doesn't really matter though, because if you wouldn't recognize someone, then you wouldn't recognize someone, regardless of how unique they looked. Why did I even comment?
It doesn't help that she has been out of the whole scene for a long time. She's just now getting back into it but has only released 1 single that was just a DJ wanted to rerecord one of his songs with her.
I thought that was the most brutal part. That's some shit you say to your former high school classmate who tells you she's moving to L.A. to be a movie star.
Out of so many tiny, LOL-inducing moments from that show, this still may be my favorite. My buddies and I used to pull this shit on each other at bars all the time

A buddy of mine grew up with her. Said she's actually one of the most kind and self conscious people he's ever met. So I kinda had a feel with this failed hug.
Knew a guy named Dallas who dated her in high school. Said he would go over her house and she would just be sitting in the pool drinking straight out of a bottle of Jack, and her mom didn't give two fucks. He said she was basically a fuckup.
she reminds me of this girl I kinda know and hooked up with a few times... that hot mess disaster unstable chick type thing going on... I ran into her at a bar/club the other night and was like, "hey" and she went over the top, wanted to give me the most intense hug ever... she grabbed my drink out of my hand, and then handed it to her guy friend to hold before going in for this huge hug. it was really awkward. i didn't much like it... but there was part of me that liked it a lot... like, it made me feel like i needed to take a shower...
I don't know why a pretty good looking, fit, tall blonde does nothing for me, but nothing. Stood next to her in L.A. and absolutely no movement in the nethers. I'm even a sucker for nose rings. Nada
It's not, don't worry about it and move on like the rest of us. I'm only commenting in case you're still thinking about this hours later in the shower or something.
Yeah, well he plays himself basically so it makes sense. Plus I'm sure he gets recognized all the time by fans who attempt to maul him so his reaction is completely understandable. Especially as he has no idea who the fuck she is. Even when the reporter tells him, you can tell he's like "that sounds familiar but I dunno"
Like when Jerry refused to eat the pizza Poppie served him because he saw him use the bathroom without washing his hands. Maybe he saw Kesha hug something earlier.
Just want to add that even though it end almost 20 years ago, it stills holds up really well. Especially if you're a single guy in his late 20s, you'll love it.

Idk where you're from but us on the east coast try to respect each other's space. I think it has something to do with being from a much more crowded part of the country. I can definitely say that people I don't know very well trying to hug me would catch me off guard and seem really strange to me.

For me, personally, I would only hug someone that a) I haven't seen in a long time, and have known then for more than 2 meetings (or longer than that, obviously) and b) if I know then really well. It's like asking "Can I have a kiss, on this, our first date?". That's affection, that's also showing/accepting affection. Nothing really dangerous about it in the conventional sense (STD/I's aside).
It's a comfort level that I'm am not prepared to have or open up with 85% of people, and/or a person I have only met twice. The other 25% of people, yeah sure I'll hug, but if there's a reason. Not just for seeing them again this week...
Shit, I work in Texas and people I'm meeting at work for the first time have gone in for the hug. I think that's just the kind of role (basically a media salesperson) more than a normal Texas thing though.

Seriously though. I'm not a hugger and neither is anyone in my family. It's weird hanging out with my wife's family and that's all they do.
I don't necessarily like hugs, but I recognize their utility. But yeah being a spergy loser is probably how many people like you tend to function. It's just not healthy for social creatures to act anti social, if you don't know that you don't know anything.
No, I think its a nature we adopted, instead of killing each other (more or less). Not my nature at all, yet my mom is an incredibly affectionate and huggey person.
You don't think we're social creatures? Why is that? I don't think we adopted our nature anymore than any animal did. But I'd be interested to hear what you think.
Our "nature" as social creatures has many true, real-life implications, but the only reason an animal would embrace another animal that it doesn't know intimately in a "friendly manner" is as a show of submission/not a threat.
To me, it's offputting that a person would feel the need to make that public display to someone they barely know...it raises flags.
You'd rather people not know whether or not they should feel threatened by other people? It sounds like you've concocted a reason to not do something that will make you happy if you just....embrace it.
I thought the guy said he was a leopard, like he identified as a animal kin or something. I figured the worst thing that was on his hand would be dried cum but I shook it anyway.
I'd rather a poke or like on FB then... At least then I can just clear it and never look at it or think about it, or even interact with it (as I always do). Can't say the same about am actual, physical hug, unfortunately
It doesn't have to be about germophobia. Some people, myself included, just prefer to keep our personal space, and have no interest in hugging strangers.
I understand there are harmless "huggers" out there, and don't really blame them for trying it. But if you're going to put yourself out there without considering my feelings, don't be upset when you get rejected.

There are definitely people out there who will try and hug you regardless of your personal wishes. Even if you specifically state you hate it, and you need personal space to be comfortable, they will anyways because 'its just who they are' or 'just try it and youll change your mind' or 'stop being a grump'.
I have a hard time empathizing with this kind of situation. Short of being caused a panic attack, I can't imagine being willing to embarrass someone with rejection over dealing with a hug that lasts a few seconds and likely will never be on my mind again.
To me, the discomfort of rejection would far outweigh the discomfort of just letting the person hug you. Not everyone is the same of course, but I'm just saying I'm having a hard time wrapping my head around that decision.

For some, the discomfort of pressing your body against a complete stranger is pretty compelling. Apparently this guy is known to be a germaphobe anyway.
If you can't handle someone saying "no", then you probably should ask for it in the first place ยฏ\_(ใ)_/ยฏ
That makes sense tho, more germs in people's hands, while torsos are relatively cleaner, plus if your hands get dirty (as a germophobe) it's a lot more inconvenient than if your torso does, hands you'll have to wash, torso as long as you don't touch it you're good.

When I'm at work and go take a trump in the bathroom;
1: wipe
2: flush
3: pull up my pants
4: tuck in my shirt
5: buckle my belt
6: leave the stall
7. Wash my hands
Wanna come press rub our relatively clean torsos together?
I mean do you rub your hands all over your torso before tucking your shirt or something?
When you tuck your shirt, that's more of the waist area than the torso itself, and most of what you tuck ends up inside your pants, plus even if otherwise, you still have to keep in mind:
Not everyone will have taken a dump when you say hi to them.
Even if they have, not everyone tucks their shirt right after, or at all.
Even IF in your situation, or worse, the scenario I posed afterwards, yes, as I said in the previous post, even having a dirty torso is generally better than having dirty hands.

I work with a guy that will absolutely lose his shit if you touch him. He's the quietest nicest guy I've worked with, but God forbid you give him a pat on the back or something. It will literally ruin his day. I understand personal space but some people are just a little too uptight about it. Is it a phobia for you or what?
I'm the same way. Do NOT touch me. I will fuck my husband all day long, and I allocate hugs to my children as required of a parent. But I had dicks rammed in my mouth was molested when I was four years old and I'm NOT a fan of being touched. Don't touch me. I shouldn't have to explain I'm a sex abuse survivor. I was humiliated in high school when some random kid tried to hug me from behind, I was triggered, and I started screaming and spazzing out on the poor kid. I apologized to him as an adult, and he apologized, too. All was well, just dooooon't touch me.
I won't jump your shit anymore if you do, but it took a decade of therapy to get there. Now I'm working on hugging back. I'm known for being not-touchy-feely.

This is a huge pet peeve of mine, and I actually like dogs. It's just so disrespectful. There's always that half-hearted attempt to restrain the dog, and then "Oh, he won't bite. Oh, he's friendly." Like that's all that matters.
I just told my neighbor yesterday "you might want to keep your dog on a leash, they will fine you, and my dog is not friendly." He dragged his dog inside, and mumbled "well MY dog is friendly". Like okay dude, but my dog will kill your dog if it comes up to us, so... Maybe just keep it on a leash like everyone else, and don't worry about it. Made me feel like I was being a jerk for saying something.
Edit: Jesus people, I didn't mean he would literally kill them. It was hyperbole meaning that my dog is a stranger to the other dog, much bigger, and you don't know if he is friendly or not, so keep yours on a leash! Sorry for my poor wording, but stop acting like I'm walking around like Michael Vick! It's my girlfriends dog, and he is very sweet. Chill out.

Congratulations, your dogs behavior would get it put down if animal control or any state agency knew this. That is far, FAR outside of acceptable behavior for an animal.

You are. I've worked with animals, animal shelters and control. If your dog is a threat when other dogs approach to that level you're probably breaking local ordinances taking it out in public without at bare minimum a muzzle
To be perfectly blunt: put your dog through behavior classes or accept that when it actually hurts another animal or person it will be taken from you, and you may well be liable.
Your neighbor should and would also be completely in his rights to notify animal control that there is an aggressive dog not being kept muzzled.

Dogs can be very territorial though. Won't you acknowledge at least some difference between an encounter on neutral ground vs it's home turf
Not like this. I love dogs, but it's too dangerous and irresponsible. That being said, dude is probably just trying to be a tough guy. Doubthe owns a dog that kills anything that comes near it.
I follow leash and muzzle laws. I follow any rules and regulations I need to. If another strange dog runs up to mine, in an area where they are supposed to be restrained, then my dog would not necessarily be at fault. Even with a muzzle, my big dog could potentially do it harm. He is not a rabid beast that attacks everything, I was being hyperbolic and making a point when I said that my dog would "kill" his. I meant that he COULD kill him, because he is much bigger, and so therefore It doesn't matter if his dog is friendly. It is very common for dogs to get territorial, and not instantly be friendly. If he really wants to protect his dog, he will follow the laws and put it on a leash. Just like I do. Neither I or my dog know if yours is friendly, and vice versa. Keep your damn dog on a leash in areas that require it, and there will be zero problems. End of story.
What are you talking about? Not trying to sound tough at all. The only point I was making is that you should keep your dog on a leash in all areas that require it, because you don't know what other dogs are friendly or not. It really is nothing but common sense, and the law.
Another analogy would be; Just because you have a walk signal doesn't mean it is safe to walk. Look both ways before crossing, because my car weighs 2 tons and will kill you if it hits you. Again, not perfect wording, but do you understand what I meant now? It doesn't mean that I plan on running red lights, or that I think that is okay to hit people. I am saying there is a responsibility on the other dog owners part to leash him, because of a very severe potential consequence that is easily avoidable.
See, that's what I think too. I'm not much of a Seinfeld fan. Always thought that neurotic humor was a little cringe-worthy actually. But he's in a profession where a dude shot the president as a means of impressing Jodie Foster. I'm not sure many of us would give a hug to a total stranger out of the blue like that. Crazy things happen on a daily basis. Can't blame the guy for saying no.

I agree, it takes a lot for me to hug someone and if it's someone I want to hug it feels amazing, truly amazing. Saying that... random people, colleagues who are leaving their job, and acquaintances who are leaving a social gathering early etc etc....please do not touch me, do not put me in that position. Please.
If I've never met someone, I don't know who they are, I'm engaged in some other activity, the first thing you don't want to do is to hug me. And I like a good hug. I'm not jumping around the world hugging random people though.
Arm's length distance is fine for a first introduction.

Dude that shit makes me nuts, and it's almost always some vapid hot lady who I barely know who no doubt most guys really enjoy having her hug them.
But not me, i don't like being touched by strangers at all, I normally just tell them quietly that I have a huge germ phobia, so they don't feel bad that I just don't like being touched. At all.
Yup. To me hugs are for my kids and my wife daily. My parents sometimes. Maaaaaaaybe on a drunk night my friends or siblings. They vast majority of the population may not hug me like my brother in law is the worst. He's a drunk, not during work but the kind that always gets too drunk and emotional.
He always insists on a hug. After almost coming to blows, we settled on once a year at Christmas.
But to be honest I would let Kesha hug me.

There's this older woman at work who is constantly trying to rub my back. I don't fucking understand how you could go from polite office small talk to that. I literally had to ask her to stop, and it was awkward as hell.
That doesn't really address the issue though. I might have no interest in shaking some random person's hand, but I'm not going to refuse to shake hands over it.
That's going from "I have no interest in X" to "I'm weird/uptight about X."
I get it. But why be famous in the first place then? All being famous is is being in the limelight. You're literally just someone people watch/like/want to emulate. If you're introverted why seek a job/hobby thats almost 100% dealing with people and their admiration.
I'll be polite with those "free hugs" fellas but I'd never feel okay hugging a stranger so I'll just turn them down instantly.
To some, denying a hug from a friendly stranger is an asshole move. To me, the asshole move is assuming everyone wants a hug from you whenever you feel like it.
I like my personal space too but I honestly just cannot imagine rejecting someone's hug unless they were at risk of hurting me. Just seems so rude and disrespectful, especially on camera.
I agree that Kesha shouldn't just go for the hug in that situation. No one said he had to hold her and caress her for a minute, just quickly tap her on the back and move on.

Agreed. Hugs just feel... wrong. Nothing against huggers, but the whole disrespect bit is a two way street, ya know. You could easily pin the person turning down the hug, but the hugger is the first to force someone into a situation that makes them feel uncomfortable.
But the hug attempt itself was rude and disrespectful.
This wasn't just someone seeing their favourite comedian and going in for an inappropriately intimate greeting. This was a Z-list has-been interrupting a world famous comedian's on camera, possibly live interview, and then trying to hug him even though they'd never met.
It was a desperate classless move to try and get on camera with him and he handled it exactly right.
Didn't think my comment would create so much uproar.
It's a god damn hug people. No bad intentions. Be humble. Quit over-analyzing it.

So what you're saying is that if a stranger approaches you (especially on camera) and demands you engage in a physical (and often considered intimate) act with them....you should. Otherwise it's seen and rude and disrespectful?
See, from my perspective it's "rude and disrespectful" to interrupt strangers mid-interview/conversation and try to physically force yourself on them, hug or otherwise.
Get off your high horse. It's a god damn hug, not a blow job. I agree what she did was rude in the situation but it's a lot ruder to reject someone rather than to just give them a tiny hug that would probably mean a lot to them.

I'm not on a high horse and I'm being 100% serious in my opinion on personal space and personal interactions.
I don't care if it's a hug, kiss, hand-job or full on fucking. Nobody has social license to force themselves upon you if you're not comfortable with it for any reason.
Consider that it's common for people have personal space issues, histories of abuse, germ phobias, or just straight up don't like strangers touching them. If I were to force myself upon a stranger (for a hug) and then think it's "rude" when they reject me, I would just be showing a lack of external perspective.
Also, he politely said "no thanks" several times and ended with "I wish her well". Rude would have been "who the fuck is this crazy bitch trying to hug me? I don't know her".
Hell, if you want to get a bit meta about it... her rudeness forced him into an awkward situation where he wasn't comfortable and had to reject her (and debatably act rude towards her). She initiated the entire thing and was the cause of any rudeness or disrespect.
You shouldn't be forced to hug (or physically interact) with anyone if you're not comfortable with it. Just because it's "expected" doesn't mean you can't politely say "no thanks".
Final thought: Consider the number of people who recognize Jerry on the street and ask for a hug. Perhaps he's tired of strangers interrupting and embracing him? Perhaps he's not comfortable with his personal space being interrupted. Perhaps he's had people grope his ass or try and steal his wallet mid-hug. We'll never know his reasons but the bottom line is that he wasn't comfortable and said no politely.
TL;DR: Jerry was making the best of an awkward situation while trying to remain polite. The skank Kesha begging for a hug was disrespectful and the source of any rudeness.
"the skank begging for a hug was the source of rudeness"
I guess I shouldn't come to Reddit for forward-thinking opinions and humility... much less people who have regular physical contact with others and aren't terrified of hugs.

You've ignored the main content of my post and focused on the last line where I was admittedly hostile towards Kesha (who has a bit of a reputation for being skanky and was clearly begging for a hug) and then you resort to insult.
Come back when you have a real argument on why you think forcing yourself on others is socially acceptable.

True, but the difference is Seinfeld is a public figure, and a widely-known one too.
It's ok to politely ask, and it's ok for them to politely decline, but the notion is that well your success came from fans who support your work, of course they're going to want to meet you and perhaps give you a hug or handshake. They are what made your career.
Not sure, but I know Howie Mandel has bad OCD. He used to come into the deli I worked at and bring plastic utensils like Jack Nicholson in As Good As It Gets. Years later, a buddy of mine had a meeting with Howie and confirmed he does not shake hands.

Most of you are probably too young for this, but when he hosted that "pretty girl opens the box" show he talked about this in interviews. How he never shaked hands or high-fived anybody because of his condition. He would do a "fist bump" thing, I think, though.

I have OCD and I'm fine with hugging people (At least from a germ perspective, not really from a personal space perspective), I'm actually fine with touching peoples clothes too, but I don't like touching peoples hands. I'd probably not like touching the sleeve near someones hands either because of the contact with their hands, but I've never really experienced that, so I don't know.
Either way, I'd probably have to wash my hands afterwards.
Baerog ยท 2 points ยท Posted at 21:26:29 on June 6, 2017 ยท (Permalink)
I usually just shake hands, and then worry about it for the rest of the time until I can wash my hands, and usually anything I commonly use that I touched before washing my hands... It's really quite annoying, but I can't help it of course.
I think I remember a late night talkshow interview with Larry David where he cited his frequent tooth-brushing as a potential contributing factor for his divorce.
His character on the show was a borderline germaphobe (he'd throw away shoelaces if they came untied in a men's room), but in his standup he talks about things like eating abandoned food off of room service carts outside hotel doors. Could be just a bit, but his stand-up seems closer to his real personality than the Jerry character.
My mum hosted a charity event where Howie was the headliner, like 10 years ago at least. She said he was the nicest guy ever, but before he came backstage he had a guy come and inform everyone to not even try to shake his hand lol.
I thought this too. I also thought someone like Jerry has to worry about his image and how it's used soooo much. Could imagine how your wife would feel if pictures of you hugging her were used etc,

It's funny. I listen to Howard stern very regularly and Seinfeld HATES Gilbert's impression. It's hilarious to hear him say how bad it is while sounding just like it at the same time.
"I DO NOT say 'who are these people! I've NEVER said it!'"
I've been feeling like Seinfeld has been slowly turning into Gilbert Gottfried for years. Judging by this video, I give him about another 7 months before the only way to tell them apart is the voice.

I think he's starting to look like Gottfried as well. Something subtle, but extremely significant, has changed in his appearance in the last several years. I can't tell if it's just the haircut or if he had plastic surgery.
I feel like george's lines and kramers lines should be reversed in this scenario. Kramer was always the one trying to get Jerry to do stuff and George was the one who was always a buzzkill.

He's stated many times that he has some germaphobia issues. I get the impression he is the type that doesn't like to be touched in general.
"I went to the movies last night, I went to the bathroom and I unbuckled a little wobbly and the buckle kind of banged against the side of the urinal. Soโฆ(throws away belt) thatโs it."
I was getting gas last week and had a super urgent shit develop, so I went in the gas station and someone was in there! So I waited a couple minutes until the guy came out. (He was an employee.)
I expelled my excrement from my anus and reached for the toilet paper only to find it was out. Damn fucker should have told me! It seems like common courtesy to imform the next patron of the bathroom that they won't be able to clean their asscrack.
You know how gross putting your pants and underwear back on without wiping feels? I washed my hands and left the gas station feeling disgusting then drove home and changed. To my surprise, it must have been a pretty clean shit, because it left no trace on my boxers.

Yikes. If you're a germaphobe that's an understandable decision to make for yourself... but I don't make nearly enough money to throw away a belt over something that wipes away with a damp cloth.

Jerry: "So I'm standing there talking to this reporter, answering his questions, you know, and this lady walks up like she knows me, and does this hugging motion!"
George: "Hugging motion? Who does that?!"
Jerry, nodding: "This lady apparently. And I'm thinking to myself Oh No, do I know this person? Is this that girl I dated last week? I can't remember her name!"
George: "Mulva, her name was Mulva. What was the hugging motion like? Was it like this?"
George comes at Jerry with open arms, just as Kramer barges into the apartment...
And no offence to Kesha but she always looks really dirty. So Jerry probably thought some dirty stranger was trying to get hug, during the middle of an interview. Maybe he thought she was groupie or homeless lady. He is still a dick, but not really in this instance.

IIRC, Kesha is one of those songwriters that was pushed into selling shit radio songs that sell at the time, but she's actually quite the opposite. She definitely didn't look dirty or homeless there..
Yup. Whether or not the rape stuff with that DJ Luke guy or whatever his name is true, the music industry treats artists like disposable shit a lot of the times and I feel bad for them. I know she's been hanging out with Ben Folds too who's a really good guy and made me think maybe Kesha isn't so bad. Also Sony basically won't let her do any new work with him or anyone else since they have her under contract and the courts won't let her out of it.

I think they are referring to the whole label fallout and sexual & psychological harassment/abuse scandal. Allegedly she "sued producer Dr. Luke for alleged sexual assault and battery, sexual harassment, gender violence, emotional abuse, and violation of California business practices which had occurred over 10 years working together". She tried to file an injunction to get out of her label during the suit. They denied her that, then they threw out all her claims against Dr.Luke accept for one. She's also been in rehab for struggling with an eating disorder, which she alleges wasn't caused by, but definitely reinforced by Dr.Lukes constant barrage about her looks. This fallout started in 2014. She's still stuck in the label. I remember when the "megathread" about it was up in Music, I believe. The general consensus, sans a few of the typical reddit responses for cases female abuse, was sympathy for her given the nature of the verdict. Now it looks like Dr.Luke has left the label and Sony, but lawyers have said that it means it will be much harder to get her out now. Apparently she is still in a lawsuit with him after all of these years, and will continue to be with his countersuit coming in. I imagine her pockets have been slowly draining from all of these legal fees over the years and it will continue.
I don't really have an opinion either way because I don't know more than some stuff I have read. I can still sympathize with both sides. I wasn't trying to make a point, just give context as to why people generally feel bad for her.
Yeah, my thoughts about this, is that the more I dig into it, the messier and messier it gets. It just seems like the girl broke and wanted out, only to spend years, energy, and loads of money fighting Sony and Luke over this, only to have to give up and remain in this loop. She signed her life away when she was only 18. It must suck to finally grow up and learn about life, only to end up in a situation you can't change. I would hope that when I was 30, regardless of wealth, I would have gained even more freedom through experience and not less.
She's actually not a bad person either from what people say about her on a personal level. She's pretty educated and supposedlyโ did extremely well on her SAT before becoming an artist. She's an ordained minister and helps LGBT couples get married too. I think just like pitbull, she just has that persona in her music and whatnot, but is not a terrible person despite appearances.

Touring, recording, soup kitchen, coal mine? What's she been doing?
TBH I always thought Kesha was extremely unfairly criticized. She's actually a talented musician who writes shitty pop songs, and if you actually listen to the composition of her songs it really shows that she is talented.
And I'm someone who despises pop music. I grew up in the Punk/Metal/Industrial scenes and always am looking for a new counterculture, but I have a lot of respect for her.
I agree that she's more talented than she gets credit for, but what specifically about her songs tell you she's talented? Also, aren't most of her songs written by the producer who allegedly raped her?
Not a dick, at least not for this. You don't have to hug someone and you can't really fault him for not being prepared to turn down a hug requests. Even if you think he handled this poorly, he isn't a dick for it.
I think that was her signature look back in the day. Unkempt hair, "brush my teeth with bacardi" type look.
But she looked pretty done up in this clip. I doubt it had anything to do with her look. He just didn't know who she was and he's not interested in fake hugs with young girls he doesn't know.
I feel like if she said "Hi, I'm Kesha - i'm a singer/songwriter, but you may not have heard of me. I'm a huge fan of yours though, can I just get a quick hug?" ... he would have had no problem. Just politely preface what you're doing, stroke the ego a bit, and any weirdness is diffused. I mean, he doesn't know if she's some random gate crasher, a stalker...for all he knows, it's best to just avoid the encounter.

That really isn't the biggest reason...Not going to say he should have hugged her, and I liked Seinfeld, but from what I've heard he's not what you'd call a people's person
It happens ALL THE FUCKING TIME. It's supposed to be a fun environment on the red carpet. The problem is Jerry is a total dick and Kesha didn't know that.
Have you ever seen a red carpet interview other than this one? Like ever? They always get interrupted, it's extremely informal and generally they're doing an interview with multiple people because others Juno in.
I do think a lot of these interviews on red carpet are impromptu and very brief...and there can be a lot of them. So there may not ever really be a good opportunity for them and the interruptions seem to happen a lot. (i.e. the failed attempt of Amy tripping by Kanye)
You are 100% right. These are usually 30-60 second interviews and then they move on to the next. Start interrupt each other all the time. He was being a dick just because he's a dick and didn't recognize her so just didn't want to hug her.
Roles reversed, everyone here would be arguing "That Kesha is a complete bitch".
I agree. He probably had no clue and/or just didn't want to hug somebody. However, as much as I love his comedy and Seinfeld, he is notoriously a huge asshole lol.
Sorry, but that's just wrong. These things happen all the time -- artist interrupting each other on the carpet. But since nobody like KESHA, it's okay to say Jerry did nothing wrong. But if the roles were reversed or if it was another celebrity, all you fuckers would have said "can you believe that bitch rejected Jerry like that??"

It seemed like the nicest way to reject a hug. I think Seinfeld is the kind of person who doesn't like being touched by people he knows, much less strangers.
At least Kesha handled the rejection pretty well; didn't try to press the issue and walked away before it became awkward. And Jerry will probably know who she is by the next time she meets him so maybe she'll get her hug then (though he doesn't really strike me as the hugging type.)
Shit, the lawsuit says he raped her in the ass and wouldn't let her free of her contract.
Can you imagine that? A successful artist gets raped by her producer and is contract bound?
What does it for me is that of she said nothing she would still be in the charts, doing music. She decided the guy was a fucker who needed to be fought against, even if it would cost her her career. And it did.
With that downside, it is very unlikely someone would file frivolous claims.
Kesha Rose Sebert (/หkษสษ roสz หsษbษrt/ KESH-ษ ROHZ SEB-ษrt; born March 1, 1987; formerly stylized as Ke$ha) is an American singer, songwriter, and rapper. In 2005, at age 18, Kesha was signed to producer Dr. Luke's label Kemosabe Records. Her breakthrough came in early 2009 after appearing on American rapper Flo Rida's number-one single "Right Round".
It's ok, she got revenge on him by making terrible pop music which would be listened to and imitated by young girls everywhere - leading to countless embarrassing acts.
Source: had to watch in horror years ago when an 11 year old niece put on a dance during a family get together to the song 'tick tock'. I'm likely scarred for life thanks to Kesha.
Edit: considering the negativity received, I'm not referring to the sexual abuse she apparently suffered. That would be awful for anyone and clearly inhumane. My comment referring to 'getting revenge' was specifically in reference to the body shaming parent comment.
In fact, the lifestyle she promotes isn't even cool for anyone of any age, and is also fairly toxic in itself. Thanks.

I can't find the video, but recently Patrick Stewart was on a comic con panel and during the fan Q&A some attention-seeking asshole's "question" was to ask Patrick for a hug. The whole audience immediately booed her until she left the microphone. It was amazing.
After you clearly see him say "who was that?". So it wasn't even him being rude at all, to him a stranger came up and tried to hug him. Who wouldn't shut that down?
there's no such thing as a mean way of rejecting a hug from a stranger. no matter how you reject them, you're in the right, because they are not entitled to touch your body.

Eh. Not exactly. If a teen you don't know ask you for a hug and you say "no thank you" that's the nice or sensible thing. If you say "no you worthless twat. Get away from me" that's rude. But the again it falls under context. In the case of the video he did it in a nice way.
I think the big difference was she knew who Nicholson was and he didn't go in for a hug, After engaging he put his hand on her shoulder.
That was a fun clip though, I wish I was 1/100th that cool.
That's why I'd literally never try to interact with a celebrity by choice. They are so all over the place about how/when/if they like to be approached. Whatever, I honestly am not huge on celebrity culture anyway.
Paul Rudd was especially nice, though. Very approachable. He sat and talked with a bunch of us for like 20 minutes. Asked us about what we're studying and whatnot. Seemed genuinely interested in talking with us.
I saw Ryan Gosling at a grocery store in Los Angeles yesterday. I told him how cool it was to meet him in person, but I didnโt want to be a douche and bother him and ask him for photos or anything. He said, โOh, like youโre doing now?โ I was taken aback, and all I could say was โHuh?โ but he kept cutting me off and going โhuh? huh? huh?โ and closing his hand shut in front of my face. I walked away and continued with my shopping, and I heard him chuckle as I walked off. When I came to pay for my stuff up front I saw him trying to walk out the doors with like fifteen Milky Ways in his hands without paying.
The girl at the counter was very nice about it and professional, and was like โSir, you need to pay for those first.โ At first he kept pretending to be tired and not hear her, but eventually turned back around and brought them to the counter.
When she took one of the bars and started scanning it multiple times, he stopped her and told her to scan them each individually โto prevent any electrical infetterence,โ and then turned around and winked at me. I donโt even think thatโs a word. After she scanned each bar and put them in a bag and started to say the price, he kept interrupting her by yawning really loudly.
Paul Rudd was there too though and he was super nice.

I don't understand this story am I missing something? This happened?
But in this scenario it's the age thing that makes it okay or not okay. If we had a scenario of a five year old kid running up to a famous movie star and asking for a hug, that's an entirely different scenario than a full grown adult running up to a five year old movie star and asking for a hug. The gender aspect isn't what makes it appropriate or not appropriate here.
That there was nothing "not nice" about how he rejected her that's the point. Just because he's an older male doesn't mean it's "not nice" to reject a young female from a hug you don't want.
In my scenario, everybody would think an elderly guy was a creep for trying to give an unwanted hug to a young female.

Let me hold your hand through this. I'm saying people think it's "not nice" because it was a man rejecting a women. It is a bias where that seems mean but if it was a young women rejecting an older man for a hug people would think it was fine and the guy was creepy.
The point is when a stranger wants to hug you it is perfectly nice to reject it. I was trying to illustrate that point by switching roles.

Well yeah, because an old man wanting to hug a young woman can be kinda weird. But people would also think that it's rude if it was Kesha rejecting Seinfeld the same way. It would probably be even worse than this since Reddit hates Kesha and like Seinfeld. I can already see the comments calling her a stuck up bitch who thinks she is better than she is.

Except it absolutely is. Everyone's appearance can be improved with plastic surgery, and it's doubly important for people whose careers depend on it. People just have no idea what plastic surgery does and assume it's overfilling on botox like Joan Rivers or getting a nosejob that makes you look like Michael Jackson. Even everyone's fav ScarJo has had plastic surgery on her nose, as well as people like Beyonce and Lady Gaga. Marilyn Monroe even had it. If you don't know what you're talking about, you shouldn't really pretend like you do.
And things like lipo to get an even more perfect stomach and small breast or butt implants can greatly improve a person's already fit body while looking natural to the untrained eye (like yours).

Ya but imagine if you're talking to someone and some chic you don't know walks up to you with arms open and tries to hug you. I think he handled it nicer than most of us would lol.
My brother got denied taking a picture by Kurt Russell, his hero. It's pretty sad but also pretty funny, and I can totally respect famous people denying hugs, handshakes, autographs, and selfies.

I think Seinfeld is a germaphobe in real-life, just like his character in Seinfeld.
Hard to feel bad for her once you know about her. She breaks into celebrities' homes and brags about it because she wants her life to feel exciting. The epitome of entitled.

That was not a nice way to ask someone for a hug, it was quite manipulative
yeah. "i clearly heard and understood what you said, but i didn't like it, so i just kept asking in the hopes that you would feel negative emotions until you caved in and gave me the thing that i wanted.
Except those are only allegations and there's zero evidence to support her claim. Furthermore, she's changed her story after she claimed Luke did not sexually assault her while under oath in the past.
"i've just discovered this singer, she's great"
"cool, what does she sing?"
"she doesn't sing"
"oh... does she rap?"
"um... i guess kind of"
"does she play an instrument?"
"no... maybe... she has this thing with radio waves or something"
"oh... is she like a dj?"
"... i'm gonna have to get back to you on that one"
"well does she write her music?"
"yes"
"on her own?"
"no"
"hmm... is she pretty?"
"some people seem to think so"
"and the majority?"
"no, they think she's hideous"
"oh... does she have a nice body then?"
"fuck no, pancake ass for days"
"but she's likable at least, right?"
"she's barely coherent. it's like if drugs were a person"
"well does her music have a good message?"
"it's pretty much all about drinking too much and spending money"
"WHEN CAN SHE START?!"
Well, she looks like a groupie who snuck back stage, and interrupted an interview to force a hug on someone. I wouldn't recognize kesha is public either.

Theres a perfectly nice way to reject a hug. Just say "no thanks" like Jerry did. Nothing HE did in that clip was rude.
I feel like he did it the best way possible though, he wasn't insulting, he didn't make any bad remarks about her, he just has personal space, and didn't want the hug, despite her making an advance three times, he even gave ground to her.
Not to mention he's in the middle of an interview.
All in all, I get that she's embarrassed but she tried to force it on him and he was very straight forward in rejecting it.
exponentially so if you're famous and you just got embarrassed on camera while being reminded that you're still not A-list like him

I don't feel bad for her, respecting someone and looking up to them is great, but you shouldn't take it personally if they don't want to embrace you as someone they don't know. It would have been way better to wait until he wasn't being interviewed, and she could have introduced herself and what she does, and mentioned that she's a fan of his work. Moving in on someone who's a stranger to you (even if she feels like she knows Seinfeld, they're still strangers), saying "I love you" and expecting them to hug you is pretty childish.

I don't feel bad for her at all. Act like an ass get treated like one.
She's probably nice enough, but people should learn some respect. The guy is in the middle of an interview, and she doesn't ask for hug, she just goes for it. So he ends of looking like the jerk just because he didn't want to hug her.
You kinda ask for rejection when you run up to someone out of the blue, catch them completely off guard, and in the middle of them doing something though. Even the most hugable person might have rejected that one, at least at first. Jerry doesn't seem like the kind of man who wants to get hugs from strangers at any given situation though.
That's not how you ask a person for a hug, he was in the middle of an interview and giving his attention to someone else. It was rude for Kesha to interrupt and would be even ruder to stop the interview just so he could talk to Kesha

There's not a really nice way of rejecting someone for a hug.
Extend your right hand, in an attempt to prompt them to shake your hand. If they are still coming at you for a hug just put your left hand on their upper arm, like it's one of those "congratulatory handshakes" where you put the other hand on their arm, then just shake their hand with your right hand.
You can deflect a hug fairly smoothly with this in many cases.
Of course, this assumes that you are OK with touching their hand. If you don't want to even shake their hand, it's no use.
Note: if you are a man and she is a woman then as a result of traditional gender rules you may feel awkward going for a handshake with a woman - deal with it, it's not really a big issue these days.
Jerry did an Ama i believe (or maybe it was just a magazine interview), where he stated his stance on etiquette when meeting celebrities, which is basically that when you're meeting a complete stranger that you know and love from the characters they play in film, don't treat them as that character that you know from watching them a bazillion times, but offer them the respect of meeting a person for the first time. I believe he specifically mentioned people going "Hey Jerrry!" And going in for a hug, because it assumes familiarity and treats Jerry like the character, not IRL Jerry.
It would be consistent with this view that he would be irked at some passing hip hop star tried to hug him, DURING an interview. That's not only plain rude, but it's a subtle expression of one's percieved stardom.
Yeah, I don't think he's a jerk he's just on the opposite side of the spectrum of the hug a stranger person. He may still be one but I'm not presenting this as evidence, lol. My wife and I have actually seen his standup live twice. Both times he stayed over and answered questions from the crowd, and he seemed pretty cool to me. Also still funny as fuck
Lol I think you are missing the point. He cares more about not hugging her then he does about your perception of him. How can you fault someone for that?
The older you get the less you care about what others think of you and the happier you become.

You sir are making a huge ass-umption. Both are probably wealthier then the guy Jerry is talking to in the video. She obviously didn't care enough to interrupt the interview why should he care enough to hug someone thats being rude?
Maybe he doesn't like hugging people. There are plenty of poor people that don't like hugging strangers either. Especially rude strangers.
Bankrupt jerry would still not hug a stranger, nor give two shiznits about what people he doesnt personally know think about him. Seems like the only way he exteavagantly spends his wealth is his love for porsches
If I was one of the most famous people alive and had people coming up to me all the time expecting me to do whatever they want like hug them, shake their hand, talk with them, sign whatever, it would get old really quickly. People often act like a famous person they meet or run into owes them something like Kesha clearly did right here. Hopefully you aren't one of those people.

I would think that at first, but then I would remember how awesome my life is and think about the people who are not so fortunate. At the same time I know everyone is different and Jerry's life is probably difficult in ways I don't fully understand.

Right? He even made it a point to laugh at her. Smug twat
Well, he was very polite about it ... she just wasn't hearing it. Ran into Seinfeld outside the Paramount Theater in Oakland before we went in for the show. He graciously posed for a picture but we did not try to hug him. Did not want him to add it to his list for the airing of grievances.
He was lovely. I sent him a copy of the photo we took and thanked him for the show. It was right after Seinfeld finally ended. He sent us back an autographed photo of the cast.
Kesha featured me on her now-defunct official tumblr called Put Your Beard In My Mouth. It was the peak of my stardom. I think that counts as a virtual hug at the very least.
Fuck it. Kesha hugged me. Or at least put my beard in her mouth.
Thanks. It's a Martin Backpacker with nylon strings. Was with me for roughly 1,500 miles on the Appalachian Trail and all over the country on other trips. The thing is pretty indestructible as long as you're willing to glue it back together.

She had a few hit singles around 2010. She then accused her producer of sexual assault which put her career on hold while the court figured things out.
Something everyone is overlooking is that Jerry is on the red carpet, he's in a suit that was probably very expensive, and he looks nice. One hug from Kesha and he is going to have makeup and glitter all over his suit. That look sucks.
I think people calling him rude are speaking to how he collectively acts or speaks, not this one incident..
The only thing I saw rude here was the way Kesha thought that her wanting a hug from anyone made it ok to go over and completely interrupt someones conversation or interview.
Someone thinks logically (and has a different POV) and other people will attack it by making jokes about it to make themselves feel better about themselves as they can't logically defend against it.
So, when I was about 10 years old my mother took me and my sister who was 12 to the New York Public Library. My sister and I were sitting on the steps while my mother was talking with my Grandma. My sister turns to me and goes I think that was Jerry Seinfeld that just walked by. She convinces me to run down the block and see if it was really him. After about half a block he realizes two kids are chasing after him in their Charlotte Hornets and Jacksonville Jaguar starter jackets and turns around looks at us with a big smile and goes "Hey It's You!".
I support his decision to not hug someone he doesn't know. you shouldn't be able to ask to hug someone and force them to hug you back or they look bad.
If she had flaked that easy, it would've been revealed as a superficial ploy for attention. She had to double down and accept heightened short term humiliation in order to mitigate a greater loss of face.

She didnโt press him. She asked and he said no. Then she said please? And he said no again and then she went away. I mean asking isnโt a problem, god for bid she really wanted a hug from someone she admired, so she asked politely twice and then when he said no she walked away. Itโs not like she overstepped a boundary, people are allowed to ask for things. If she had no complied with his answer and then jumped on him or something then yes, that would be overstepping on her part. This was still not nice of him at all. But hey, heโs allowed to answer her question and not give her a hug so, thatโs the dude for ya. Still a dick move in my opinion.

Kesha of all people should understand respecting personal boundaries.
The oh so many reasons Jerry didn't have to accept the hug from Ke$ha:
1.) "Can I give you a hug?" is a yes or no question, and he's within his right to deny her the hug.
2.) He has what appears to be an extremely expensive suit, and she has tons of glitter on her, which can ruin it.
3.) Germs.
4.) Legal reasons (i.e.: Sex Allegations).
5.) Rejecting a hug from an [otherwise irresistibly attractive/charming/seductive/etc., and yet] utterly narcissistic self-absorbed woman with a gross sense of entitlement is such a profound (and/or perhaps cynical) expression of self-control.
6.) He's married (right?).
7.) She rudely interrupted the interview, and was perhaps attempting to steal his spotlight.
There're probably more valid reasons as to why Jerry should reject her hug, as well as anyone else's, but I think the above reasons are more than enough, in my honest opinion.

I partially agree with this. There're others [like you and I] who do understand. If there are those who didn't understand, but now do, then I'm happy for them. For those who read and still don't understand, I'm definitely worried!
It's the one with Wendi Mallick guest starring. The entire episode is about how he hates hugging and kissing people hello and good bye as a social obligation.
Why would Kesha assume Seinfeld would know who she is? Does he really come across as a guy who stays up to date grime-pop club music? For all he knew she was a longtime stalker who had finally made it past security.
Nah, Lucy is a great guy. Felt people needed the knowledge of good and evil to fully exact free will. Tricking God into totally fucking that dude Abraham was kind of a dick move, but, I mean. God was kind of a dick on his own there for awhile.

not really when you think about it. while the little details are subjective, but if you cross reference everyone's purpose you can get a general body shape, face, hairstyle, eyes. and Kesha fits that 's why she's in entertainement
New hero, i absolutely hate being hugged as a greeting. Shit see my friends a few times a week and they're all hugging like we just got back from the war.
A good point, actually. He was a little dickish about it, but then I'd feel the same way about someone randomly asking for a hug, especially when I was in the middle of something.
Men and women alike should respect personal space.
How was he at all Dickish? He said No thanks. That's pretty polite if you ask me. He said it 3 times. which is far more than you'd get from me. I don't like strangers hugging me. I'll be polite once. If it gets to three I'm pushing them away. Jerry just stepped back. He was very polite about it.
Jerry: I've never been a fan of the fan hug.
George: The fan hug?
Jerry: The fan hug.
George: What's the worse that could happen? She was a pop singer!
Jerry: It's a SICK WORLD OUT THERE, GEORGE! Murderers. Muggers. GERMS. Refusing the fan hug protects me from going down a rabbit hole that I frankly do not want to go down.
George: I don't know. If I was someone like Jon Voight, I'd love the fan hug.
Jerry: But, you're not Jon Voight
George: But, I could've been, Jerry. I could've been.

I have a decent group of friends and none have issue with someone declining an invite when you don't feel like doing something. None of us expect the other to do "insignificant things that you don't want to" just to maintain the friendship. Friendship should never = obligation. So take your "common sense" and kick rocks.
TheJD ยท 14 points ยท Posted at 21:59:47 on June 6, 2017 ยท (Permalink)
He said you need to have a balance. If you declined every invite for 6 months chances are your friends will stop inviting you.
doing things for others is a sign of caring for them. i like caring for my friends, and i like having friends that care for me. and if you don't do things for your friends, and vice-versa, how do you know that you actually care for each other and aren't just killing time together until it's no longer convenient?
recently a friend invited my wife and i to do something that neither of us had any interest in. but it was his new-ish girlfriend's idea, and he was concerned that turnout would be low, so we happily obliged. at that time we would have been happier staying in but in the long run we're much happier for having affirmed a friendship with someone who has been there for us when we need him.
You act like we don't do anything for each other. We don't force each other to do things that the other person doesn't want to do. Everything you're saying about your friends is true of mine except you can't grasp friendship means many different things to many different people. I didn't like your original comment not because it's bad advice but because of how black and white you painted it.
How is it not? The entire second sentence is a black and white statement. Its a blanket statement that doesnt ring true for many people that I know. As I said before, if i reject his premise (aka his second sentence) there is no need for me to even address his conclusion (aka his first sentence).

They are saying it's good to be balanced and at times do things with friends you wouldn't normally want to do, this is a good way to maintain friendships and show you care, and if you don't you might lose friends. Then you come in and say this isn't true, my friends and I don't do this therefore it's false. It went from general good advice at maintaining friendships based off of common knowledge on how friendships usually work, to you denying the validity of this advice because of how you and your specific group of friends operate. Analogy: Apples are healthy for people, No, apples make me sick therefore apples are not good for anyone.

Oh, I see. I should keep track of what my friends do for me in comparison to what I do for them? If that balance is too far in their favor, I should get friends that are more favorably aligned in my own self-interest?
Yeah, I think I can make it without friends like you.
Friendship obviously isn't a ledger balance, but unless you are blessed with friends who like everything you do to the same degree you do, you will find times where you would prefer to be doing something else. Leaving them displays disinterest, while forcing change builds resentment.
To be satisfied doing what you don't prefer because you are doing it with someone else is the sign of your friendship to them. Reciprocity is the sign of a healthy friendship for all.
Like /u/KingOfShrimp said, it's not some sort of balancing act where you have to "match" favors. For example, my best friend often asks me to try shows that don't much interest me. I try them because I know that even if I dont like the show, I get to watch it with my friend, so it will be fun either way.
Likewise, he does things with me that might not always be the thing he wants to do at that moment. That's just how it works. If we never did any of these things together, we wouldn't have much a friendship.
There was no segway, but his whole point was that it should be ok to decline unimportant requests; he simply threw in an example of a request important enough to be more an obligation (it is imperative to care for your loved ones, especially if they cannot care for themselves).
It doesn't contradict his point. He is making the point that if it isn't important he shouldn't be obligated to do it if he doesn't want to. He then gives two comparisons. One is an important thing that he agrees he should do. He then compared it against something that is not important in the grand scheme of things that he doesn't feel obligated to do.

So much this. I always do a cost benefit analysis before accepting an invitation, if it doesn't lean more toward something I will enjoy I just say no. Life is too short to spend it doing things you aren't enriched by in some form or another.
to be honest I'll reject any contact like that from any stranger too, it's just a quirk and I'm not a super clean every minute of my life person. Just like some personal space.
I know I'll probably be crucified for this, but does anyone else think that Jerry's kind of a smug jerk??
Like, I get it. He worked really hard to make his own way from the very bottom of comedy to very top. He put the time in, he did the stand up, he did the appearances, he did the show, and he doesn't owe anything to anyone. He especially doesn't owe a hug to a pop singer that he couldn't care less about.
I think he is exactly what you think he is like. There's no secret jerk Seinfeld, or secret nice guy Seinfeld. No one guy for the cameras, another guy for at home with the wife. He's literally just the guy you expect him to be.
I respect that in a person, and would find that much easier to handle than the psychopath that smiles at you and shakes your hand while plotting a way to screw you.

watch cars and comics with bill burr. Jerry agrees(or even goes farther) than bills assessment of him that he has contempt for the total of society. Jerry just isn't crude or explicit but probably really hates most people and isn't fettered by social norms.
Also, he's definitely put a lot of thought into the concept of random hugs and has strong feelings about it. I mean, I think a large % of people would accept random hugs from random strangers and then be like "why did I just accept that random hug?" This is the shit Jerry Seinfeld dwells on I bet

I think the difference between him and random people other than the obvious is that he has a lot more experience with that and continues to experience it so it would make sense for him to think about it.
Aye, if some random just came up to hug me, I'd be far too flustered about a random person hugging me to say anything, let alone reject them

What if someone (read: most people you see) tried to do that to you every day, every time you were seen in public, for 20 years straight?
You ever wake up drowsy and just wanted like 30 mins to yourself before someone asked you to do something? Imagine feeling like that every single day of your life, at all times unless you're at home. Oh, and then someone tries to talk to you.
?? Haven't watched it, but does he say he actually wants to kill people or want them dead? Because there's a huge difference between that and just generally hating people.
I felt like that was a big part of his comedy on Seinfeld, cynically breaking down these silly little social games we play and bringing the ridiculousness of it all into the spotlight. I figure it takes a lot of internally thinking "why the fuck do people have to do this stupid shit?" while going about his life to come up with those bits.
I respect people being authentic, but your comparison is a little weird.
It isn't a choice between honest jerk or charming psychopath. It is very possible to just be a normal nice person who isn't trying to screw everyone over.
I'm not saying Seinfeld is a jerk (I have absolutely no idea, the clip on Seth Meyers didn't seem that bad), but I don't think there is any reason to respect someone because they are honestly and openly an asshole.
Couldn't agree more. Being authentic doesn't give you carte blanche to be an asshole. I'm not saying Jerry's an asshole (though I do agree with the original commenter that something about him rubs me the wrong way -- not that he has to be likable to me or anyone else), but the argument that someone being "real" is a respectable quality that forgives other personality shortcomings has always annoyed me.
It's a northeast thing. You gotta "earn respect." Which really means people think it is totally acceptable to be a prick to others unless they earn some kind of courtesy.

The man is worth $800 million, he's hunted by scammers trying to get a picture of him with his hands on a woman for years. Look what he did again, in that perpective.
stepping back from an unfamilar (and uninvited) woman's invitation

Wow. I've never thought that before. That actually make sense a lot.
I would rather be punched in the balls than stabbed in the eyes with a knife....but those aren't the only options in life. So odd to argue "(I) find that much easier to handle than the psychopath that smiles at you and shakes your hand while plotting a way to screw you." as if those are the only 2 options.
I liked the clip on Seth Meyers, he was being totally real and I got to understand a side of that industry I never knew before. He didn't come off as douchey to me, just honest.
You have to remember that he constantly has people harassing him. And on one hand, that's what you get for being famous. On the other hand, that's also what he is famous for. Sometimes you just have to take people at face value.
I don't respect it in him, but I'm okay with it. He's a dick, but he's fairly upfront about it. He's not aggressively mean. Like in the video, he didn't become obnoxious or patronizing towards Kesha, he just repeated his position until he got what he wanted.
I'm not basing it solely off this video, but off of everything I've seen of him. Comedy, interviews, etc.

But he's not a jerk. He's just a normal guy doing normal guy things. Why would he be obligated to give some random person a hug? He isn't. He politely rejected the hug. If you think the way he acts is being a jerk, then you are probably an annoying human being who feels entitled to special treatment, tbh.
I respect that in a person, and would find that much easier to handle than the psychopath that smiles at you and shakes your hand while plotting a way to screw you.
I have no idea why people upvote such odd/dumb comments. As /u/possiblyaqueen said, It isn't a choice between honest jerk or charming psychopath. I would rather just someone be nice or least pretend to be nice for just a few moments.
Shit, I would rather be punched in the balls than stabbed in the eyes with a knife....but those aren't the only options in life.
Was he not nice? He politely refused a hug from her 3 times in a row. I think she was the presumptuous one here. I just think he handled it in his classically awkward style, which is what I was referring to with my "he is how he is" comment.
First, that doesn't explain the stupidity of the argument "I respect that in a person, and would find that much easier to handle than the psychopath that smiles at you and shakes your hand while plotting a way to screw you."
Second, he was not nice. Just because he wasn't a 100% dick doesn't mean he was nice. Just because he could have yelled at her or pushed her does not mean politely refusing an innocent hug on the red carpet is a nice thing.
It's very well known that Jerry is a bit of a dick. The nice thing would be to just give a fan (who is on a red carpet of an event and thus likely in entertainment) a hug.
No, it explains it fine. I said I respect that in a person, which means I respect that quality in a person. It's honest and straightforward. That does not mean I automatically respect every person who acts this way.
Secondly, not everyone likes being touched by strangers. He politely refused and then she asked 2 more times, ignoring his polite refusal - so who's really being the dick here? You should respect other people's personal space, and not make them feel like the bad guy for not wanting to greet you so intimately.
And no, you're not obligated to hug anyone, especially if hugging is not your thing. Really your only point here is that he didn't bend over backwards to be more charming about it, which is not really much of a point at all.

He's on a red carpet of a major event....he has to know she's in the business AND she's a fan.

She thought he was joking. I would too...you would too. Why would someone reject a hug from a huge fan at some event where they are all in the business?
edit:
As someone else mentions:
watch cars and comics with bill burr. Jerry agrees(or even goes farther) than bills assessment of him that he has contempt for the total of society. Jerry just isn't crude or explicit but probably really hates most people and isn't fettered by social norms.

Because the OP's point read a bit like a "does anyone else think Jerry Seinfeld is secretly a dick", and I was just saying conversationally that I think you can just take him at face value, and that's an admirable quality in a person. No need to read too much into it man.
He's on a red carpet of a major event....he has to know she's in the business AND she's a fan.
And? This means he has to hug her? Dude doesn't like hugs. He doesn't have to hug anyone.

It's still a stupid comparison...just because something worse, you think it's respectable?
I guarantee it that if roles where reversed, this thread would be all about "fuck, Kesha is a total bitch".

Not at all what I said or implied.

I agree. And if the roles were reversed, Jerry Seinfeld would come across like a perverted old man for asking for a hug from a young woman 3 times despite her telling him no thanks. Aren't roles fun?
I have this idea that if I'm ever in an elevator with Larry David I would resist the urge to tell him how much I love his work; I feel like he would hate that. Instead I will try to find some obscure thing in the elevator to get irrationally annoyed over and then voice my opinion to him about it like he's a nobody just like me.
I feel like that's the secret to winning his heart.
I like to imagine that Jerry really just loathes other people and his comedy isn't actually meant to be comedy, rather it's his attempt at crying for help in his own living hell.
Everyone laughs along and likes his "jerk persona"... meanwhile jerry is simply really being a jerk.
Poor seth was neevously laughing at every jerry "joke" about how jerry disnt care shit for seth or his show meanwhile jerry was just throwing shit to seth.... and the audience laughing at every bit thinking its a "jerry joke".
Jerry could be insulting seth "i will fuck your wife in the ass... i will literally fuck your wife in the ass!"... seth would still be nervously "laughing along" and the audience would still keep clapping at his "jokes"
Its the same as how Trump became president: he was being crude all along and lots of people didnt took hin seriously and tried to laugh it off ("oh he cant be serious haha, he is such a joke haha")... meanwhile Trump was being Trump and simply won the election and keeps being Trump.
That whole jerry shit was cringey as fuck

I cannot related to this statement at any period in my life more than right now. I just finished moving the rest of my things into a new apartment, and the primary reason was a roommate who did just that. It got to the point that people who knew me started hearing all crazy types of things about me through this person, but face-to-face or at home they were overly friendly and interested in everything about my life, almost in a patronizing manner. Trust me folks, you want a Jerry Seinfeld in a world full of psychopaths.
Just reverse the situation. She doesn't know who he is, he asks for the hug all creepy like, she says no. If she's not comfortable with it, who are we to question that? That exact same logic should be applied to Jerry.
Well because kesha just seems that way anyway? Seinfeld is a respected person in the industry, at the literal top, so he gets a bit of leeway. (but still a lot of comments are calling him a jerk anyway).
But I think its mostly due to the unbalance of success here, Seinfeld is so much more famous and successful than her, that she seems like some fangirl rather than a successful music artist.
Roles here cant really be reversed, but if it was kesha refusing a hug from some cringy obsessive fan who interrupted her interview, I think the comment section would look fairly similar.

Some would but way more would use it as an example of how women are constantly sexualized.
Because Jerry Seinfeld (hypothetically) wanted a hug from her? I think that's a bit of a stretch to call that sexualization, especially if he really did love her work (like he does in this completely fictional hypothetical).

I didn't see how her asking for a hug was "all creepy like." She just asked. And then persisted. But there was nothing "creepy" about it to me.
He was in the middle of a conversation, which she interrupted, and didn't even introduce herself. Maybe she was nervous, but this would make a person less likely to respond positively to a question like that. It's a pretty intense way to approach someone, and him saying "no" doesn't make him a dick.
When your'e that famous, people running up to you asking to touch you can be creepy. He didn't know who she was.
Some people are not huggers, and if she'd ever watched Seinfeld, she'd probably know.
That being said, I felt a little bad for her, and then for myself because it was the cringiest thing I've seen in a while.

Haha I thought I was the only one who couldn't stop cringing from this. But I totally agree that he had every right to deny her hug. Still stand by that I don't think what she did was creepy. I just think she was excited and then didn't know how to handle the awkwardness of being shut down like that. I probably wouldn't know what to say if I was her either. But I'm also not a stranger hugger.

He didn't know who she was.
She's at the event,in the area for Celebs. being interviewed, in a fancy-ass dress. Its pretty obvious she's another famous actor or singer. You don't need to know who she is to figure that out.

But it would have been creepy if he, "being an older white male", asked her for the hug and sรจche rejected? Come on..you know the feminists would have loved it. I guess since he's Jewish and rich he gets a pass? #TRIGGERED
Personally I would have the same attitude towards Kesha if the roles were reversed. I think in that situation it's kind of rude no matter who you are, but that's just my opinion.
As someone stated above, you're reversing the situation incorrectly. A true reversal would be if a hot young guy came up to a mature, established actress and asked for a hug awkwardly.
The only thing that should be judged differently between men and women is physical prowess. Suggesting that men and women should be selectively allowed to exhibit behaviours prohibited to the other sex is, excuse my french, fucking stupid.
That's a politically correct opinion that I'd love to support but only if I saw evidence that suggested that men and women are equal in non physical attributes as well. From what I can tell, evolution has, generally speaking, provided men and women with hard wired differences not limited to physical prowess
No they're not but there shouldn't be a double standard when a man or woman doesn't want to be touched, hugged, kissed, or licked (Kesha licked Slash's face without his permission by any stretch) by a stranger.
Well, you are clearly on some important set thing for an awards show or something so the people there are either reporters or some sort of celebrity without security being on them. Maybe Kesha really enjoys Seinfeld and finally got to meet Jerry in person and then she offers what is considered a normal greeting in Kesha-land, it may seem rude for Jerry to decline the way he did.
Her view can be valid, as well as whatever view Jerry had.

"Being a complete jerk" seems pretty harsh. He was just trying to be funny. That's 100% his comedy, trying to point out the absurdity of the seemingly mundane situation he finds himself in. If you didn't know who Jerry Seinfeld was and didn't know his comedy at all, I can see how you would think he's a jerk, but that moment you linked is very "on character" for him. That being said, I don't think you get to the top of Hollywood by just being a nice guy. On top of being a great comedian, he also seems like a shrewd businessman.

That was the moment I went from disliking Seinfeld in this video to understanding him. At first I thought he was just shitting on Seth Myers and the guys show. But giving props to Seth at the end made it clear he was poking fun and the whole system and saw Seth Myers as a peer in the absurd situation.

It's just not funny and it doesn't add anything to the show. If you don't want to do it, don't do it. If you come on, play the part and act like you want to be there.
But here we are talking about how some think he came across badly on that show.
If he REALLY didn't want to do it, he wouldn't have done it, but he obviously feels a bit indebted or wants to help Seth out or something.
If this pre-interview helps make the show more entertaining, then it's useful. And he certainly wouldn't be doing this 'bit' that isn't very funny, and just feels awkward.

Yeah it wasn't really funny, just uncomfortable to watch. Also kinda dragged the mood down. I love the show Seinfeld, but that's because it's fiction. Being weird and antisocial in real life is just cringey. I don't expect the Always Sunny actors to be horrible monsters in real life either, but it's funny to watch it play out when you know it's pretend.
No it didn't! If he didn't want to be there he shouldn't have gone there in the first place. But now that he has accepted the invitation so the proper thing is to suck it up and not be a giant baby about it.

Like we get it.. you don't want to be on the show... how many times do you have to hammer it in? He just shouldn't have agreed to go on the show if he was going to act like that....maybe he has some grudge against the producers?

No it doesn't. That's what he was doing. Even if he was being a complete jerk to be funny, it doesn't change the fact that he was being a complete jerk.
He was just trying to be funny.
So? How does that make him any less of a jerk?
That's 100% his comedy, trying to point out the absurdity of the seemingly mundane situation he finds himself in.
I fail to see how that ties into why he has to be a jerk.
If you didn't know who Jerry Seinfeld was and didn't know his comedy at all, I can see how you would think he's a jerk, but that moment you linked is very "on character" for him.
No, you're missing the point. It's not about whether or not it's "on character" for him. For Seinfeld, being a jerk is "on character," and thus we can agree that he is a jerk. The only difference is that you believe it is some sort of an excuse. I've seen every episode of Seinfeld and have watched his stupid car show. I've seen his cameos on Louie. I know about Seinfeld very well. That being said, I think that makes me qualified to say he is a jerk. Pointing out that he is a jerk does not make me any less familiar with Seinfeld than you.
That being said, I don't think you get to the top of Hollywood by just being a nice guy.
Agreed. That does not make Seinfeld any less of a jerk though. I fail to see how this disproves the notion that Seinfeld is a jerk.
On top of being a great comedian, he also seems like a shrewd businessman.

"Just trying to be funny"? Because the only reason someone wouldn't want to hug Kesha (or to him, a complete stranger) is to be funny, right?
I watched the rejection and I laughed. I watched this video (Seth Meyers) and I laughed again.
I agree with you, that's Jerry Seinfeld. And Seth Meyers is laughing too because that's why Jerry is funny. He doesn't give a fuck and he's always complaining about the rules of the society.
He doesn't care and if the doesn't agree with something he doesn't do it.
I love people like Jerry because you always see one face. That's how he is and he's not selling anything.
I'm a Frank Zappa fan and I love how he was. He was 100% sincere and if he didn't like the interview or something, fuck it.

But the way he tried to do it was trying to make Seth look like a fool. He was clearly not happy to be there, and for someone as successful as Jerry, if he didn't want to be there, then why was he there?
He was making fun of the entire system that him and Seth Myers play similar roles in. He gave a (what I saw as) very genuine nod to Seth's abilities at the end there. I didn't sense any animosity between the two.
I'm sure if you watched the entire segment that at some point Jerry plugs something he's working on, like how at the beginning he said he was looking to start a show. He must be getting something out of it

I don't think I'd go so far as to say he was being a jerk, but he does come across as a bit curmudgeonly.
Unlike many celebrities in the middle of a video-taped public interview, he did nothing to try to present a playful fun-loving image. He was completely dismissive in a sense that he care whatsoever anyone (the audience) thought of his actions. Compare that to if some celebrity was doing an interview on the Tonight Show and an audience member ran up from the audience and asked for a hug. I feel like most celebrities would play along with the moment (knowing it could be a big awesome moment for both the fan, great TV, good PR, and big video clip online. Imagine if it was Steve Carrell and the fan came running up and he just ignored her and brushed her off like that - and not jokingly as a comedy bit, but with pure seriousness. It would feel really weird and snubby, even if, once you think about it, there's no reason the celebrity owes it to the fan to hug them or anything.
I mean the way he goes on with the interview even after the interviewer tells him it's Kesha (I'm assuming he knows enough pop culture to know who Kesha is), he doesn't look embarrassed or explain that he thought it was a crazy stranger. He just goes "oh", and moves along like he would have still done that even if he knew who she was.
It's hard to explain, it's just about the way it plays out... Writing this out has caused me to put a lot of thought into this because, I don't want to suggest that celebrities are obligated to hug fans, because that's not right, but I do think it comes off as odd to do it in such a dismissive way as he did.
Yeah but if you are famous and everyone sort of knows who you are it is different honestly. People don't go around to you and want to interact or hug you because of your accounting skills or whatever you do, but with celebrities people recognize them so they get approached by strangers much more often than any other person would and you sort of should interact with people because they are probably fans of your work.
I don't think Jerry is a "likes to be toutched" kind of guy.

People are responding stupidly to you, but I will agree with you.
All you are saying is that what you or I would do if someone came up to us for a hug has no comparison to what a celebrity should do, because the only reason a stranger would randomly try to hug you or me on the street would be if something was wrong with them or they were trying to hurt me. For a celebrity, it must be a far more common occurrence that should not fill them with the same fear and concern. Thus, they should be able to handle it with more grace. I'm not suggesting (and I don't think you are, though perhaps you are) that every celebrity is obligated to hug anyone who asks, but you can do it without acting like the person is trying to harm you.

It was very funny, in my opinion. He's revealing a bit of the behind the scenes of the show and the social trade-offs that people in show business exchange. So I really thought it was funny.
The Kesha thing, I sort of understand. You're talking and someone just -- boom -- wants to invade your space. Personally, I'm a hugger. I love hugs. Kesha wants a hug, I give Kesha a hug. Kanye wants a hug, I'm giving him a hug. Any K-named pop star, in fact. Hugs, hugs, hugs.
Jerry always struck me as a bit of a germophobe though. And I can understand if he doesn't want to have someone jump into his interview and wrap him up. To Kesha's credit, she asked (twice even) beforehand. Sometimes a hugger and a non-hugger meet, and this is kind of how that plays out.
He's a 63 year old man? Do y'all know any 63 year old men? Your parents arent that old probably. He has no idea who she is or what this situation is about.
I can definitely understand the appearance of being a jerk, wouldn't surprise me. But I think the example you gave in regard to Seth Meyers show, seems like it's all an act. Jerry had him on Comedians in Cars Getting Coffee, so I don't think he would blatantly go on Seth's show and be a complete jerk because he 'didn't want to be there.'
You can tell even from the clip that Jerry really had a chip on his shoulder in regards to the producers of the show, not necessarily Seth himself. Regardless, he didn't make Seth look good on camera at all.
[deleted] ยท 1 points ยท Posted at 23:43:07 on June 6, 2017 ยท (Permalink)
Yeah, I think that became evident with his "Comedians In Cars..." show. He's a dick, and doesn't care what people think. I kinda respect that, but, I'd rather him be cool.
That said, he gave my wife's family passes to see an episode of "Seinfeld" be shot ("fusilli Jerry, stopped short, Ass Man"). Reserved us front row seats, we got to meet the cast afterwards. Now, maybe that was all his assistant's doing, but, regardless, he chose to hire someone that made this happen.
So, maybe he just has to be "true to himself" to stay sane. It can't be easy being Jerry. Sure, there's the money, but, I can only imagine.
My Father-In-Law ended up with a painting of a Porsche, and went to a Porsche convention to sell it. Ended up, Jerry bought it. He and my brother-in-law took it to Jerry's house to deliver it. Jerry wasn't there, but his assistant was. They asked her for the passes.
It was indeed a cool episode to see get shot. My greatest regret, they had a few fussilli Jerrys for a few different shots. When I was on stage meeting the cast, there was one sitting on the floor. I probably could have just bent over and picked it up, no one would have cared.
EVERYONE was in that episode too, pretty cool. The Castanzas and David Puddy.
In case you're wondering, meeting the cast is interesting, but awkward. You're like, "hi", and they're like "hi", and then you just stare at each other. Then someone you're with says something awkward, like when my SIL pointed out that people think she looked like Julie Louis Dreyfus, and you cringe knowing they hear that multiple times a day from people that look nothing like them. My SIL had a "oh... I guess?" resemblance to JLD. Then you both don't really know how to disengage, so, you just stare some more.
Michael Richards was the coolest. He actually grew up by our hometown, so he chatted a lot about what it used to be like when he was a kid.
You just don't get his comedy. If you watched Seinfeld and Curb Your Enthusiasm, the humor is largely based on awkward moments and little rifts between people.
Trust me, if Jerry didn't actually want to be on the Seth Myers show, he wouldn't go on the show. The guy is close to being a billionaire, he can do whatever appearance he wants.
He chose to go the Seth Myers show because he wanted to be there, and then tried to make a joke about it in which people took too seriously.
exactly. the way the two of them go against social norms without apology is what makes him and larry so damn hilarious. it's blunt and awkward yet appeals to all of our true inner feelings about every annoying situation we've had the displeasure of being involved in.

Yeah, he is so pretentious. That being said, he shouldn't have to hug someone. But, after Seinfeld, he disappeared for a bit. Only to reappear expecting people to simultaneously kiss his feet and ignore his existence. Not to mention, he is the kind of person who judges people who didn't have the success he did. Because, "it was pretty easy." Just thinks the world of himself in a nauseating way, in my opinion, of course.

He didn't know who she is. He has almost a billion dollars, so who knows the reasons behind why strangers would approach him. Plus in this age, people are trying to pull pranks all the time. To hell with that. The downside of having all that money is having to be paranoid.
Honestly I thought the Seth Meyers bit was funny, it didn't feel cringey or uncomfortable or forced. I wouldn't be surprised if the conversation about it being staged itself was staged to give Jerry a platform to complain from, which is what he is known for as a comic. Whether it was or not, it was Jerry Seinfeld being Jerry Seinfeld, which is why people like him. I get if that's not your thing, nothing wrong with that, but it felt genuinely funny to me and Seth didn't seem to take it negatively at all.
The OP video was definitely uncomfortable though, but I don't think that was Jerry's fault. I have no idea what Kesha looks like and if I was worth nearly a billion dollars and one of the most famous men in Hollywood I certainly wouldn't want to hug some random person (presumably just an overzealous fan). I get where he's coming from there, and especially in the middle of giving an interview.

But that's the entire premise of the series. That's why the ultimate episode involves them literally being arrested for mocking someone instead of helping them.
Half of the plots of the series involve him or one of the other characters complaining about something people do. It's brightened up for TV or for standup with some lightness, but I think he really is someone who is just annoyed by everything. I think that's what makes him a successful observational comic - because he can find something annoying to mock about every situation.
Did you link the wrong clip or do you just know absolutely nothing about Seinfeld and/or stand-up culture? That clip is 100% run-of-the-mill "comedian ball busting" banter.

It is not "kind of", ripping apart events saying he doesn't want to be in them is 100% his schtick.
Rejecting a hug from someone he doesn't know is light years from acting like a jerk

I loved Seinfeld the show, one of my favourites. But yeah, Seinfeld himself seems really annoying. And his actual comedy outside of the show is shit.
I think there's a lot of undue credit to him an awesome comedian because of the show. If he were a new comedian today, without his sitcom fame, he wouldn't be a very popular comedian in my view.
I'm quite ok with arrogance as long as the person does their arrogance in a kind of cocky/funny way.
Super serious arrogant people are lame though. And despite being a comedian, Jerry seems to have this annoying serious arrogance, that often doesn't even make a lot of sense. It's like an "uncanny valley" type of weird thing that just doesn't feel right.
Agree. He is a smug jerk...plain and simple. If you watch some of his coffee car episodes, they make me cringe and you can see some of the stars with him are cringing too.
With that said, smug jerk or not....he shouldn't have to hug anyone he doesn't want to. I can respect that choice.

Which ones? I watched most of those episodes and never noticed any cringe. Maybe some mutual disagreement at best.
I thought the Obama episode was a bit Cringey. There were points when Obama seem'd to Son him. The episode with Bill Burr.. Bill played along but you could get the sense Bill thought he was being an ass.

At the end of that video he even talks about being nervous saying something to Jerry on that episode. From everything that I've seen, he has nothing but praise for the guy. You just got the wrong impression watching the episode.
He didn't know who she was and was in the middle of the interview. She was also very pushy he had to say no 3 times.

I don't know man, having random strangers wanting to touch you at every opportunity must be pretty trying. I'm sure if I was in his shoes I would say no a lot as well. It's not being a jerk, it's just having boundaries.
Nice one sided take on the issue. She won the case, by the way, and Jerry's bit on it on Letterman was quite funny IMO.

As a lawyer, I can suggest that both copyright and trademark infringement cases are very fragile and subject to very specific definitions. Neither applies to a "concept" or an "idea". Trademark applies to a specific name or logo, while copyright applies to specific works - in a book, that would be to the words themselves.
So if I write a book about a magic bracelet that makes you invisible and a bunch of whimsical strangers who need to get the bracelet to safety, I'm not necessarily legally infringing on Lord of the Rings even if I totally ripped off the idea.
Even if Seinfeld did rip off the woman's cookbook, unless she used exact words, I think they would have to prove she had access to and actually knew about the original work in order to be in a position to copy it, which is not necessarily a simple thing to prove.
Either way, a judge can throw out a case for lack of evidence and that doesn't automatically mean Seinfeld DIDN'T copy elements of the first book - there's also a fine line between being inspired by a past work, and stealing elements of the work.
tl;dr: Don't assume that just because a lawsuit was unsuccessful that this means that nothing in Seinfeld's book was based on or inspired by the original book. It just means that either 1) it wasn't enough to be legally actionable, or 2) there was not enough evidence of a direct connection between the two.
Right. So basically it's too much of a grey area to go around saying "He's a huge asshole. His wife ripped off someone else's cookbook and he went on Letterman and called the writer crazy. Real dick move."

It looked obvious the original author got her idea stolen. I'm sure Seinfeld's lawyers just proved it was someone else that didn't the stealing. My biggest complaint is how he used Letterman's show as a soapbox to deride someone who does not have the same opportunities to defend herself.
It's a short article I linked, it wouldn't've taken long to have read it. The court threw the case out, ruling:
'no reasonable fact finder could conclude' that copying occurred here given that the works are 'very different' and that Jessica's book 'has a completely different feel.'
[deleted] ยท -14 points ยท Posted at 20:47:55 on June 6, 2017 ยท (Permalink)
I disagree with the court. It was cook books and most of the recipes where lifted from the original.
Okay, but you should probably temper your accusations given the courts--who put more time, energy, thought, and actual legal criteria into their judgment--ruled no copying occurred. At least through a "maybe" or "allegedly" into your comment.

Person A - "Unsubstantiated accusation proving someone is horrible"
Person B - "All evidence points to your accusation being false"
Somebody to Person B - "You really care too much about this."
If anything, I'd say the person making things up to demean somebody they never met is the person who cares too much. The person refuting lies with evidence is being reasonable.
I'm not. I'm really into Seinfeld. It's /u/inactivated who seems to be really into this particular cookbook case as if it was his wife was the author of the original cookbook.

You can't copyright recipes. They're all 100% public domain. The only thing you can copyright in a cookbook is your terminology and presentation.
You can go right now and find any famous chef, copy the recipes in their books word for word, and sell it as your own book, as long as you include only the recipes. The copyrighted part of a cookbook is everything else you include.
No you're thinking of Shoshanna Lonstein, they only dated for a short while. He married his wife Jessica in 1999. She was 28 at the time if that matters.
Jessica Seinfeld (born Nina Danielle Sklar; September 12, 1971) is an American author and philanthropist. She has released two cookbooks about preparing food for families, and is the founder of Baby Buggy, a New York City-based charitable organization that provides essential items for families in need throughout New York City. She is the wife of comedian Jerry Seinfeld.
He is a smug jerk. But I went to see him perform once, and I have never come as close to asphyxiating as I did that night. I'm talking actual distress, seriously asking myself if I need to leave the theater in order to breath. He was so fucking funny, it caused me prolonged distress from suffocation.
Even if he murdered 50 babies by bleeding them from the neck, I'd still have no choice but to consider him the funniest comedian alive. Anything else and I'd just be lying to myself.
In a similar kind of analogy, (not really), Nicolas Cage is an "over-actor" actor. But that's his THING. He over-acts because that's who his characters are. I don't care that Ghostrider sucked monkey balls. Con Air, City of Angels, and Gone in 60 Seconds are amazing movies, and I'm proud to say it.

Real recognize real. I like this guy even more now. He is one funny man.
yeah, he seems like an asshole when he lets his guard down and acts naturally. when he's "peforming" on his comedians in coffee show he just seems kind of smug. at most other times i get a really dickhead vibe from him.
He put the time in, he did the stand up, he did the appearances, he did the show, and he doesn't owe anything to anyone. He especially doesn't owe a hug to a pop singer that he couldn't care less about.
all true, but
He worked really hard
for a few years, and now he acts like he mined coal for 50 years straight. meanwhile his standup material can be summed up as "old jokes". it's what soured me on comedians in cars.
This is absolutely not true. It is really hard to become famous (with a few exceptions). He has been acting (on TV) since 1980 and he had nine years of stand up and occasional roles before the first episode of Seinfeld.
That is nine years (at least, he was probably working for a while before he got his first TV role) of working hard for relatively low pay until he finally was on Seinfeld. That show ran for nine years, and he has been working as a producer, director, and actor since then (although he has been working less).
He might be an asshole, but I don't think this clip has anything to do with that. He just refused to hug someone he didn't know during an interview. That doesn't seem that crazy or rude.
The man is one of the most famous comedians of all time. You're an idiot if you think that didn't take years and years of extremely hard work. Seinfeld is one of the most influential TV shows of all time and basically one of the defining things about the "90's". He also created the show and paved the way for Friends and every other sitcom "about nothing". Not only that but it ended its run almost 20 years ago and its still culturally relevant. Regardless if you like the guy or not anybody can work 50 years in a coal mine, not everybody can be Jerry Seinfeld.
such a hard worker this jerry, it's a good thing he made sure he and larry david got named producers for all episodes. he's a very smart businessman I give him that.
I'd give his early standup grind more credit if he wrote an amount of material that was atleast as big as the average comedians. Idk if you saw 'comedian' (2002) but his standup is basically all old material, and that's after he specifically decided to so standup again, you'd think he'd write a new hour of material, but he does maybe 5min.
watch the comedians in cars episode with louis ck, seinfeld is amazed by how much louis ck actually works/writes. I mean louis ck is a machine but still.
I really like the tv show seinfeld, but after seeing the pre/post seinfeld works and interviews of larry david and seinfeld I know that I like it because of larry davids writing/influence and the great acting of the cast excluding jerry even though he had his moments. making LD write seinfeld was jerrys smartest move besides the producer cerdit.
...What are you getting at? That Jerry Seinfeld didn't create Seinfeld? That he and Larry David somehow swindled their way into producing the show they created? You really lost me here. Also of course Jerry would be shocked at the amount Louis CK works, every comedian says that, the guy is a workaholic. Jerry is also like 65 and a billionaire, he doesn't need to be writting fresh material right now.
I dunno man you can not like him all you want but saying he hasn't worked hard is ridiculous.

I think he's just suggesting that Larry David had all the talent and did the majority of the work.
Jerome Allen "Jerry" Seinfeld (born April 29, 1954) is an American comedian, actor, writer, producer, and director. He is known for playing a semifictional version of himself in the sitcom Seinfeld, which he created and wrote with Larry David. Seinfeld was heavily involved in the Bee Movie, in which he voiced its protagonist. In 2010, he premiered a reality series called The Marriage Ref.

I know what you mean. I like the show because of the guests he has on, but he acts like he's some young king who would be mildly surprised and put-off if someone didn't know to kiss his ring.
Am I missing something? He had a good show and a good career, but people lose their shit when they see him and I just kind of don't get it. There are much funnier comedians who are much humbler.
That said, he doesn't have to hug kes$ha. No one should have to hug ke$ha.
It's possible he really is a jerk. I don't know. I really don't know him well enough to tell you and I don't think anyone else in these comments does either, but I can say that I don't think this clip "proves" anything. To me he seems like a very down to earth guy. Very blunt. Straight and to the point. Now sometimes this can come off as quite harsh, because he doesn't sugar coat anything or attempt to hide anything. I mean, he still was pretty kind to Seth and gave him credit for not having cue cards, he was just very honest about where he stood on the show and how he thought it should go down. Anyway, that's my humble opinion.
TL;DR: He doesn't seem like the nicest guy, but he's honest and I like that.

I think that's pretty much just part of his whole personality. Him and Larry David are just really bad with social interaction in general it always seems like but that's why they're so good at writing stuff like Seinfeld and Curb. I don't dislike them for it, but I think a lot of people don't realize that those characters are only exaggerated versions of themselves and they really do act like assholes sometimes.

That was thoroughly entertaining. Thanks for sharing that video :)
I didn't think Seinfeld was like that outside of Seinfeld. I figured the grumpus was all Larry David. This was enlightening.
Complete jerk? It's a funny, somewhat meta, bit and he's both honest and complimentary of Seth when he doesn't owe his jack squat.
I do think Seinfeld is a bit of a jerk overall, just in that he has a particular set philosophy and work ethic that doesn't jive with everyone and seems dismissive. BUT I don't see it as a problem because he doesn't tend to go out of his way to actually be an attention-hogging smug jerk. He had a huge show and now he just does whatever he wants.
I actually thought this was hilarious.. and I totally agree with him tbh
I hate the fake banter, it's so awkward to me. This clip actually made me laugh cause it's more honest and authentic and genuinely funny.
Fwiw I think it was a little obnoxious of Kesha to interrupt his interview expecting a hug. I feel bad for some of her legal issues, but it doesn't mean she'sโ entitled to other people's space. It's not like he hasn't been obvious about this for 20+ yrs too.
The thing I don't get is - if he doesn't want to be there, why is he there? Or why doesn't he prove that there's some reason he should be there other than because he's "Jerry Seinfield"? Him explaining to us that he's better than everyone else doesn't justify it. Dave Chappelle is a million times more brilliant than Jerry because he goes out and proves it. Plus Dave still does interviews. And when he does them, they're enlightening because you know the man still goes out and challenges himself and tries to discover new perspectives. I don't get the whole, "I'm better than you so you should be serving my needs" thing. Everyone's equal at the end of the day, regardless of what they've built. Jerry's success isn't all because of him. He owes a lot to his co-writers, co-actors, his looks, and the time period his show was present.
You really aren't getting it. This entire thing could be a bit written by Larry David and Jerry Seinfeld. They both have been doing the same shtick for years. They built a comedy empire on it. He's not coming off as being an ass, he's coming off as being slightly annoyed by minuscule shit which is at the root of all of their comedy for 30 years and it's hilarious.
If you watch Myers response he's doing what the host does with a comic and supports his riffs. The whole thing is a bit. The best part is if you listen to the content it's all meta.
How I despise phrases like this. At least his parents were partly responsible for his success, weren't they? Or the people who bought tickets for his show when he still sucked as a comedian.

I've never watched Seinfeld but I lost all interest in him after he did that whole interview about how colleges are too "safe" to tell jokes now. What a baby, if a bunch of people are telling you that your jokes aren't funny anymore, maybe you're just telling outdated jokes.

I don't think he was really that much of a dick here. how'd you feel if you were being interviewed, and some stranger interrupted and forcibly asked for a hug? I understand where he's coming from.
No way man and i think you're missing the point. He didn't hug her because he doesn't know her, not because he's "to famous" or something. On top of that the guy is literally in the middle of a conversation and some random girl walks up, interupts, and then just throws her arms out waiting for the hug she thinks she deserves because she's a fan. Tough shit, if the rolls were reversed he wouldn't have gotten within 10 feet of her without a bodyguard stopping him so don't feel too bad. I garuntee Kesha doesn't hug random guys who run up to her in public.
Respectfully disagree. In fact, i like that he actually asked the audience if they knew what a pre-interview is. People in show biz throw around their lingo as if we all heard it every day.
Have to be kind of a wise ass at heart to be a comedian.
When you're famous people are asking you for shit like this all the time. I'm sure it gets tiring. Double annoying when you're giving an interview and some random chick (at least to you) half your age comes up and interrupts for a hug.
Just walking up to a stranger and asking for a hug is pretty creepy anyway, Kesha or no.

That reaction from her sounded like the type you give when you meet your idol and he turns out to be a jerk and nothing like you imagined. Not saying he doesn't have the right to reject hugs from people he doesn't know, of course he does.

Umm. Have you looked into that case at all? Ever? The court accepted her allegations as true, but was forced to dismiss because the statute of limitations for them had run out.
What she claimed happened is accepted as having happened. Which, for those that are unaware, she said she was drugged, raped, and abused, repeatedly, over the 10 years of working with him.
[deleted] ยท 3 points ยท Posted at 02:41:07 on June 9, 2017 ยท (Permalink)
Because the allegations happened more than 5 years ago, thus being outside the statute of limitations, you utter moron.
The allegations happened. The court ruling literally says, quote, "Kesha's allegations are accepted as true."
The court had no power to do anything and HAD to dismiss, because of the statute of limitations. You think that means he magically isn't a rapist? When the court accepts her allegations as true?
You are missing a key point. The Court did not say her allegations were true, they said, "even if they were true, she would still lose based on statute of limitations."
Defendants filed a motion for summary judgment, including that her claims were time-barred based on the statute of limitations. Such a motion basically puts the rest of the fact finding of a trial on hold to evaluate a purely legal issue - whether the statute of limitations applied.
In evaluating that motion, the Court has to assume the facts pled by the other side are true, since it has not had the change to review the facts. So the Court is saying "Even if what plaintiff alleges is true, she still loses."
Very different from "What the plaintiff alleges is true, she still loses."
[deleted] ยท 6 points ยท Posted at 23:21:36 on June 6, 2017 ยท (Permalink)
No I'm not. The specific line I am referring to, in the ruling from Keinrich is:
The court accepted the allegations as true but dismissed due to statute of limitations. Nothing I stated is incorrect. The court accepted her allegations that she was abused, drugged, and raped, on two occasions, but due to those occasions being more than 5 years old, still had to dismiss.
If you read the ruling in full, the judge reads as having been very pissed that he had to make the ruling in that way too. Lots of criticism in there about her lawyers.
I won't bother with the summary as the press often makes mistakes with regard to how the law works.
But from the actual decision you cited, the judge expressly made the same point I did at III.A on page 13, in the section titled "Standard of Review."
On a motion to dismiss, the Court must accept as true the facts alleged in the complaint... The Court is not permitted to assess the merits of the complaint or any of its factual allegations, but may only determine if, assuming the truth of the facts alleged and the inferences that can be drawn from them, the complaint states the elements of a legally cognizable cause of action.
I know very little about the case - I make no judgment on whether someone who has spend more time reading the record has a view on who is more believable.
But in a motion for summary judgment, the Court is not expressing a view on the facts, it is simply acknowledging that for that limited purpose, it assumes the facts are in favor of the party opposing the motion.
Leaving aside the standard of review, it is also worth noting that at this point in a trial, the fact-finding process of the trial - discovery, depositions and questioning in Court before a jury - has simply not taken place. You simply have allegations from both sides that have not yet been subjected to the full legal process. The Court is therefore evaluating whether there are clear-cut legal (not factual issues) that should prevent that expensive phase of the trial to proceed. This is black letter law.
[deleted] ยท 4 points ยท Posted at 23:54:15 on June 6, 2017 ยท (Permalink)
This occurs because in order to make an argument based on the statute of limitations, a defendant must accept that the events alleged actually took place.
There's very little point in saying "Please dismiss this because it happened more than 5 years ago" if it did not in fact happen at all. Which is how the statute of limitations is deliberately set up to function.
Those that wish to claim they are innocent must thus defend their case.
The defence chose to accept that the events took place.
There is no further debate necessary. The facts are simple. The defence accepted the allegations in order to defend based on statute of limitations. The court accepts that her allegations a thus true as a result.
Every further bit of debate is really really trying hard to build some argument against the poor woman that the allegations that the defence chose not to defend and instead to have accepted as true are someone false, despite the fact that they didn't defend them as false, but accepted them as true.
There is no reason to perform gymnastics about it. It is very simple. Her allegations are accepted as true, by a court ruling.
Look at the corrected "flow chart" in my other response, you still have things backward.
The defense by no means "accepted" the allegations. They have the right to file motions based on affirmative defenses BEFORE the fact-finding process has taken place. Because the fact-finding has not taken place, it is the JUDGE who accepts the allegations as true solely for that purpose.
If you can't accept a clear quote from a court (which is standard in thousands of summary judgment motions and probably understood by every first year law student), then I can't help you.

You are taking that quote out of context. The judge is quoted as saying she "must take as true"... This means the allegations at the heart of the case have not been tried and their basis in fact (or lack thereof) are not reason for dismissal. You need to look at the bigger picture on this.

I'm not really. You're taking a quote from the article, I'm taking a completely different quote from the ruling.
"Kesha's allegations are accepted as true."
There is no further argument necessary other than a court accepting that her allegations are true but unable to press any legal action based on them. That's it. That's all there is.
If they were untrue, Luke's representation could have defended them as untrue. They did not.
When you make a defence based on the statute of limitations, you accept that the allegations are true, but outside of the powers of the court due to being too old. That is how the defence works. It skips the rest of the process because the defendants themselves chose to accept the allegations as true. If they did not want them accepted as true, they could have defended them. They chose not to. Why? Because there's no need to go to a defence based on the statute of limitations if you can defend the case as untrue. This is why it works in that way.
You are the one failing to look at the actual picture.
The flowchat:
Did this actually happen? Yes? When?(statute of limitations applies) Judgement.
Did this actually happen? No. End.
This is why when the defence calls for the statute of limitations the court accepts that the event actually occurred.
Per my other comment, you have the flow chart wrong, it is:
1 - Are there affirmative defenses like statute of limitations that have been raised in motion practice.
2 - If so, evaluate those defenses assuming the facts are in favor of the party opposing the motion, solely for that purpose
3 - If plaintiff prevails on such a motion, trial ends, court never bothers with the fact finding process
4 - If defense prevails, trial pursues, both sides go through lengthy and costly discovery, depositions and trial, and only at the trail does the factfinder (jury, or judge if jury is waived), express any opinion on disputed facts.

God you just want to muddy the waters up for some bullshit reason.
You do not say "Please dismiss this because it occurred more than 5 years ago" to something that did not in fact occur at all. This is why it functions in this manner, such that, by making the statute of limitations defence, they accept that the event did in fact actually occur, but at a time outside of the court powers.
Whatever agenda you're on, it's full of shit and I'm done here. You're going to drive this around in circles endlessly for some weird ass crusade to protect a rapist.
Upon hitting my history button I am not at all surprised to find you a multiple time poster at /r/pussypassdenied. Goodbye.
I mean, she interrupted his interview. She should have approached him at a more appropriate time, and maybe he would have been more receptive to meeting her.

his response did not look like whatsoever he was rejecting her hug because he was in the middle of an interview
The amount of people in this thread who seem to think celebrities owe them something socially is alarming. They're people doing a job, they're not obligated to engage you in public.
There wasn't anything creepy about it, regardless of gender. She didn't force herself on him and she didn't sound creepy. Wouldn't be any different if it was a guy
A stranger (to him) walks up and demands a hug when he is doing a live interview? That isn't weird? Have you seen his show? That makes it even stranger.
Would it have? I actually disagree. If she would have asked for a hug and then just walked away after being rejected I think that would have been far more awkward.

Yeah, I have no problem with him turning her down in this context. However, taken in the larger context of life, Seinfeld is a huge dick.
Edit: can't figure out if people have reading comprehension issues or just Seinfeld sensitive. Obviously, he doesn't have to hug her and it isn't necessarily rude what he did. But he is such a pretentious holier than thou asshole, in most every context other than when he is getting paid, and even then, still, I don't even know how it could be debatable.
Edit 2: the hive mind at work? Someone want to weigh in on why this statement of opinion is so heavily hated?
Tbh I don't even think there's anything wrong with being his or Larry's brand of dick. I actually appreciate it. Wish I could be like that sometimes.

Yeah, I don't know. Larry's is less pretentious. Jerry is certainly more elitist in my opinion. Larry is just an awkward guy - but actually humble, at least in persona.
Be a dick then to be honest. You can take this with malice, but I assure you there is none intended. If you wanna be a dick like those guys, then do it. Prepare for the consequences however, but be true to yourself. I prefer honest ones than people who pretend to not be dicks, imo.
Oh I didn't take it negatively :) I wish I could but I know it's just not in me. I mean, I can be assertive, which I guess some people find to be a dick trait in women, but I've been very deeply socialized to be a people pleaser. Might be why I like Seinfeld and Curb so freaking much.

So do I. Rereading what I wrote, I hate it to. I love jerry. He is hilarious and he capitalized. He found Larry and magic happened. The fact that he is who is he is now isn't really shocking, only mildly disappointing. Actually, I'd like it if I didn't see that comics couch with Chris rock, Louie KC, Seinfeld, and Ricky gervais. Gervais (sp?) was being so goofy and jerry clearly didn't get it, or like it, and despite the fact that Ricky was so respectful of jerry and invited to be there, and star struck! Jerry excluded him like Regina George.
He complimented Chris rock, but when CK was discussing his style he took that opportunity to stand on his soap box and talk about how he doesn't swear. It was insulting, in my opinion, as jerry hasn't been a funny stand up comic since the late nineties. Yeah, he hit it big. But Louie has been plugged in and found something that works now.
Granted, Seinfeld, to me, is timeless. But in my most recent watching it is far more dated than I thought. Granted, tech has totally made obsolete many of the mundane problems the cast deals with, but still. He sat there like he was the greatest thing to happen to comedy and he doesn't even know what's funny anymore. He isn't aware of those trivial and mundane aspects of life. I honestly don't blame him, as he is uber famous and rich, but I would expect more self awareness.
Nah.. there's just different kinds of assholes.. Jerry isn't very loud or in your face. He's smug and he's honest about it. Not trying to be anything he's not. He works hard, has a nice life to show for it, does good things when he wants, then moves on.
I'm trying to think of assholes I hate... People who are loud, showy, rude, pushy.
That statment in itself is kinda useless. If you don't tip at a restaurant because of bad service, would you use that as an example of how you act generally? (I.e if he doesn't accept a hug, would you take that as how he acts generally) In that one context its fine, they didn't deserve a tip, however taken into the larger context of life, you're an asshole for not tipping. The context is the situation the incident happened in, to take that and put it in the "Larger context of life" would be to effectively take the situation out of context on purpose.
[deleted] ยท 2 points ยท Posted at 22:30:08 on June 6, 2017 ยท (Permalink)
I suppose I could have been more clear. But it isn't useless. Maybe I should have stated "In this one instance he is justified, but seeming as nearly every interaction that is broadcast to the public he behaves like a dingus, this isn't all that surprising." I guess I was commenting on how he appears to enjoy making people feel uncomfortable around him. I say this while admitting that Kesha was the one that created the uncomfortable situation, here.
I agreed in another comment that he is a dick, I think that's the best word for it. Asshole is too much... so is jerk. A dick is someone who swings it around and is casual about it.
He reminds me of a high school friend who became a star (and whose name I will not say). Once a girl went up and licked his ice cream cone, as a teenage girl may be inclined to do, and he threw a fit, before dramatically tossing the whole dessert into a trash can. Jerry reminded me of it. It may be that he's drawing a line for his personal life, it may be that he has a disdain for presumptuousness, but I also wonder if it's a feeling that she's trying to put him in her debt somehow. It may just be a sense of rigid propriety, but I think about it a lot, because I'm not that way at all.
I'm pretty cool with most things and somebody licking my ice cream cone who I'm not either currently having sex with or interested in having sex with might piss me off too.
I suppose it might piss me off if I were in a bad mood, but not enough to throw away my own cone. It's kind of cutting off your nose to spite your face.
Er. I mean. Someone licking an icecream cone could REALLY bother someone who is very hygienic, or a lot of normal people. You have no idea where that tongue has been, if they have any diseases that can be transmitted through saliva, or if their bad breath/saliva has now been transferred to the thing you have to lick to eat. You are basically kissing someone at that point, so I could see how that would bother a lot of people.
Not to mention, a person who just thinks it is alright to get into someones personal space, lick (and potentially ruin) food they have not even payed for, and not understand why someone would find that annoying is probably not a very self aware person.
I don't disagree with any of that, but I do think most strong personalities, especially the kind who pursue attention, tend to be more accepting of behavioral deviations like that.

If someone licked my food that's grounds for a fistfight
She was a cute girl. High school boys don't typically pick fistfights with girls who are likely flirting with them. I guess I could have mentioned that she appeared to be shyly flirting, but as I said, he was a future star (and those types are deeply charismatic even in youth, so obviously girls are flirting with them). Anyway when a girl does something like that it's usually flirting regardless, unless she's some drunk bimbo at a bar.
Do you generally try to hug strangers because you admire them? "Oh hey, I've seen you around and admired you from afar, even though I've never spoken to you! Hug me!"
What's "sweet" about that? It's completely deranged.
It's far from normal, and I'm totally with Jerry on this one. His space, his rules.
But, I mean, it's only a hug. Let's not crucify her for her weird and pushy, but overall-harmless request. I know it's the internet here, but social errors do not require beheadings. :-)
Seinfeld seems like a pretty chill guy, but he's got his boundaries. I don't think he was aiming at a "lesson in humility" as much as just really NOT wanting to be hugged. Heheh.
[deleted] ยท 1 points ยท Posted at 20:50:21 on June 6, 2017 ยท (Permalink)
As a person who deals with social anxiety issues and is VERY uncomfortable with strangers and random invasions of personal space, good on Jerry. Where does it say ANYONE is obligated to invite intimate contact from a complete stranger?
He was polite, succinct and friendly in his declining physical contact from a stranger. I don't have a problem with that. The woman asked, was politely declined, and that was that. I fail to see a problem.
I feel bad for jerry only because I had a friend that was just like him. He just wants his personal space and boundaries. It doesn't help that people get more touchy feely as they get older. If he knew who you were he probably would be ok with giving you a quick 2 second hug.

The whole 'Just a little one' part really gets me! A little hug? What's a little hug?! Jerry said he didn't want a hug. He's not going to change his mind if you ask him 3 times. He also does not care about the size of the hug. Just because you are Kesha, whom I, like Jerry, do not know nor could recognize, does not entitle you to Jerry hugs.
If you've seen his comedian in cars getting coffee series then this isnt much of a surprise. A waiter asked to shake his hand and he did the same thing. "No thanks". It seems really cold and almost impolite but I think thats just because its taken to be a norm in social settings. People should be allowed not to have to touch other people even if its just a friendly gesture. Just this morning I was in the bathroom at work and heard a guy take a massive wet dump and then exited the bathroom without even looking at the sink to wash his hands. People are gross.
Someone else in this thread mentioned an interview where he said he's "on the spectrum." If he's possibly autistic to some degree, that would explain it.
Why did she think she would get a hug from a stranger? Fan or not, hugging a stranger is not only gross but weird. Plus his suits probably thousands of dollars and she'd ruin it with her makeup.

He's in a nice-ass suit graciously giving an interview and some pop singer he's never met and who's perpetually covered in glitter wants to wrap her arms around him.
I mean he didn't say that to her face, right? He's giving context to why he refused - "I had no idea who this person was or why they thought it was okay to interrupt our interview. BUT, I wish them luck."
I know his pain. I loathe touch from most other human beings and animals. But I tolerate hugs from children, since they don't comprehend my phobia and explaining it would take far to much time. ๐ Handshakes are even a difficulty for me.

I think the reason people don't like him is because, like you said, this is nothing new.
If shes a true fan like she says she is, she would know that he would hate to be put in an uncomfortable situation and would know she would get rejected. She just reminds me of those people who like comedians or actors because "well the Internet loves them so I love them too!"
Why would you ever treat expect Jerry to reciprocate any type of affectionate gesture when he's on camera. He's probably the last celebrity I'd walk up to in a public setting, unless I was totally prepare for him to make me look like an idiot.
Pretty much any reaction anyone has when someone they don't recognize, don't know, and has no clue who they are tries to hug them.

You guys do know Seinfeld is a germophobe right? He NEVER hugs a stranger
I can respect Jerry's decision in this situation. He's a professional entertainer and any time he says something into a microphone it's sort of like he's advertising his brand of comedy. What he was saying right before she interrupted him was almost like a stand-up bit of his. So naturally, if he's selling himself on camera, the last thing he wants is to be rudely interrupted by someone. It's the same as being cut-off by a heckler at a show.
So I get it. He was nice about it in return and that added to the funniness of the situation, but I get why he was like "Are you serious right now? Fuck off!!"
Plus who in their right mind would just interrupt anyone being interviewed on a red carpet at an event? She was probably wasted.

Its super weird how everyone on reddit is super supportive of what he did. Had it been another celebrity that reddit doesn't like, they would be calling for a boycott.
What you're missing here is that she didn't respect his personal boundaries. The hug goes too far for some people and it doesn't make them an asshole regardless of their social standing unless they were unreasonably rude about it which I don't think he was.
Or it could be that someone he's never met just interrupted him to introduce themselves, which is pretty rude, and he was quite polite about it.
Doesn't seem all that weird to support that kind of behaviour.

Two things. One, some people have ticks, quirks, or things they just really don't like. I don't like hugs. I don't even really like being touched, unless it's explicitly obvious I want you to, in which case, you will know. Some women find this funny when they realize I avoid hugs and go for the fake lean in hug so they try to chase me around. It's not funny, it's uncomfortable. People do not need to conform to being loud, super social, extroverted, and physical. To some of us, that is really attention-seeking, over the top, and annoying as fuck. Two, if this was a woman, and a man was trying that desperately to hug her, it wouldn't just be cringey and there wouldn't be the small minority of "well, he was kind of a dick about it", it would be an overwhelming response of "how creepy", "who does that", "no means no", "why didn't he listen the first two times?", etc.
Why is everyone saying this? He just didn't want a hug and laughed it off. Y'all are acting like he's legit getting off to the idea of not hugging someone

Why do you preface with something specific to the video and end with something completely out of place and that has nothing to do with the video? Did he try to force himself on her? Did he call her a bitch? Did the person you replied to do any of those two things?
Plenty of men and plenty of women can't handle rejection and nobody owes anybody else anything

So "walking away" is how all women handle rejection and violence is how all men handle rejection? How is that any different than saying that men are better at working and women are better at housekeeping? Different people react differently to similar situations. There is no need to bring gender into the discussion, as the OP didn't mention it and there is no evidence of discrimination based on gender in the video.
Trying to make every single damm post into a gender issue and an exposition of the patriarchy is one of the reasons people make fun of the current feminist movement. "Triggered men" is not the reason why you are being downvoted, you are being downvoted because your comment is completely off topic.
It's not off topic. It's a relevant discussion. You can't tell women men don't own women affection when it's mostly men that take it too far. I never mentioned feminism. I'm stating something that happens to women all the time. It is a gender issue. Why do you think people discuss this all the time?
"Whenever a man came onto my bus, he had to drop trou, and I took a Polaroid of him, just to emasculate him and make sure he knew he was in the vagina jungle. That's what I call my bus.

seems like you're just mad at women and need something to be upset about
edit: i would delete my comments just cause i don't care enough to argue against people with a personal vendetta against kesha but i won't give you the satisfaction of deleting my comments. (btw calling kesha worse than trump is fucking hilarious)

And you are the only one here looking like an ass.
The more I've seen and heard about Seinfeld in recent years, the more I've come to realize that he's a bit of an out of touch asshole. I'll always love his show, but I'm starting to not really like him much as a person.

How would you say no to a hug? He said that in the nicest, possible way.
First I'd probably say something like I don't do hugs, so as to not make the other person think it has something to do with them.
But beyond that, this is just one of many examples in recent years as to why I'm realizing I don't like him much as a person these days. If this was it, I probably wouldn't think much of it, but no, lots of things he says and does these days is just not the kind of behavior I consider something to be looked up to or admired.

Got ya, I'm not a fan of him or follow him so I can't speak to other situations. I just felt this situation didn't warrant anyone getting upset with him.
It might be just old age. There were all these amazing and awesome behind the scenes stories with Bruce Willis but now that he's older, he's a real pain the ass.
He's out of touch in the sense that he's a diva and thinks that he's better than everyone else and the rules therefore don't apply to him. Love his show, love his comedy, but recognize him for the kind of person that he really is.
If you do 5 minutes of research, you'll find hundreds of stories online of people having unpleasant experiences with Jerry. You can always find one good thing that someone did, but that's not going to mean anything if I can locate tons of other examples to the contrary.
Look at this chain. Someone thinks he's an asshole for joking around on a late night show. It's the same treatment Norm McDonald gets and Jerry is too good of a comedian to break the wall and correct them. Of course there are hundreds if not thousands of "Jerry is a jerk" stories online, that's how this shit works.
I mean the nicest guy in Hollywood has been called an asshole.
Those aren't where the stories I'm talking about come from (haven't even looked at reddit actually in that regard). I'm talking about things I've hear in podcasts and just people in general sharing what it was like to meet the guy. Why you're so dead-set on defending the guy is beyond me. I guess no one wants to hear that someone they looked up to or admire is actually a dick in real life. But I've heard far too many stories in recent years to think anything but that about him at this point. Which is fine whatever, I don't care if he's a dick, he can still be funny, and I can still enjoy his show.
Because he wears his exact personality like a bright orange suit and has since forever. He's not an asshole, he's a pretty damn cool guy and knowing how stupid people are about figuring people out I'll side with Jerry always.
Of course he's going to try his best on camera to not look like an asshole, that should go without saying. But there are just so many candid stories when cameras aren't rolling about the guy being a genuine dick, that I simply can't ignore them, cool if you can turn a blind eye to them, or assume that they're ALL bull, but I'm just not that naive.
Well one that comes immediately to mind is a story I heard how he was in a hotel, had a cigar, was told that it was a no smoking area by an employee, he said, "do you know who I am" and then blew a puff of smoke in her face. I'm thinking more along the line of those kinds of rules.
Truly the same. Well done. I find it bizarre how easily people will give the celebrity the pass, but be suspicious of the nobody who met the celebrity. Don't you think most people want someone like Jerry to be a delight in real life? I sure would, but when there are dozens of stories just like the one I shared there piling up against the guy, its pretty dang hard to keep writing them off.
It's the same because its a baseless story that makes the rounds. Is Jerry Seinfeld an asshole to people sometimes? Probably. But so am I. you can't base your opinion of someone off of stories without knowing context.
None of that has anything to do with this video. In this video you can see the context. Jerry Seinfeld is a perfectly fine person doing an interview. And an asshole interrupts him asking for a hug and doesn't take no for an answer after one attempt.
When there are so many stories about the guy being a dick to fans and other non-famous people, its kind of hard to ignore. I could discredit a few of them, but when there are dozens of such stories it becomes much harder to ignore. I mean do you believe that Cosby is innocent? If it was only one or two accusers, I may be able to dismiss it, but there are just too many for me to not think that he's guilty.
Nope, I'm equating piles of allegations against the two as being enough to draw a legitimate conclusion about the person. If you have over 50 people that had direct contact with you saying that you did something, then I'm inclined to believe the majority of those 50 people that you probably did do that thing.

Yeah I see that. I tend to just take people's words with a grain of salt because their little interaction does not scrape the surface of who they really are as a person. To me it's like cold approaching a woman, getting rejected, and then saying how they're kind of a bitch or something.
I guess, but when enough people have said something its pretty hard to dismiss, as much as I might not want what they're saying to be true. I mean look at Bill Cosby, I'd have to be pretty damn naive to say the guy is a saint and that everyone is just out to get him.

In regards to Bill Cosby. I've heard rumors of rumors of sexual misconduct persisting through out his career. So if these court cases, and the big stories haven't come out what would you do?
Could you reliably take a few rumors you've heard from people who very well have their own rumors floating about and judge a person wholeheartedly based on those rumors?
If they're are over 50 different "rumors" about the person coming from different over 50 different people... yeah, absolutely I think you can wholeheartedly judge that person based on those rumors. Maybe a few of them are bull, but certainly not all of them, I don't doubt for a second that Cosby has raped many women.
Illison ยท 1 points ยท Posted at 15:39:03 on June 7, 2017 ยท (Permalink)
But you are only hearing that from a few amount of people though. Rumors aren't a constant thing you will hear. Even in the busiest offices you will only have a few people constantly spreading rumors at all times. While others only do it are opportune times. So instead of hearing 50 different rumors you hear maybe 2-4 different rumors. And guarantee some of those people will seem to be making a power player. Unless you witness something yourself can you really rely on others to witness for you?
I've read at least 50 different stories online about the guy as well as heard maybe a dozen others from various podcasts. Its not hard to find these stories. This is why I've come to believe he is a bit of a dick, its not just based on this one video and only a handful of other supposed stories.
It's mindblowing that I have no idea about who Jerry Seinfeld is but I perfectly know Kesha. I'm 18 from Italy, can that be the reason? Everyone is saying big words about him but I'm just out of the loop
I don't know who Kesha is, so it all balances out.

Yeah I could see why, Seinfeld was a huge hit in North America in the 90's. You being not born yet/in a whole other continent makes it reasonable that you don't know him
Everyone's here talking about the hug, and nobody's talking about the fact that he's in the middle of a filmed interview and she just runs up and interrupts. That's just rude.
I'm sure many will disagree, but I think this makes him look like a dick.

Wait why would this make him a dick? There is nothing wrong at all with denying a hug, trying to force someone else to hug you is what would make you a dick.
It is not OK for a woman to force herself on a man. My point was that people are not "screaming harassment" in that case because generally men are physically better equipped to defend themselves against a woman 'attacker'.
Because being in the right to do something and being nice are not always the same.
[deleted] ยท 5 points ยท Posted at 22:32:17 on June 6, 2017 ยท (Permalink)
I can agree with that, but just because you're not being "nice" doesn't make you a jerk. If someone tries to hug you and you hug them back, that's being nice, but if you don't hug them back, that doesn't mean you're being mean.
I agree :) but in this context and situation it seems to irk many.
Personally I don't think either Kesha or Jerry are being rude. Just an awkward interaction. Could've been handled better by both.

Had it been just about any other celebrity reddit would be saying, "What gives, just give her a hug!"
[deleted] ยท 5 points ยท Posted at 22:20:17 on June 6, 2017 ยท (Permalink)
Can confirm, every person who denied my physical attention during an interview also looked like a dick.
You sound like you're also quite uptight about personal space. I've been reading The Naked Sun recently, and it seems a certain subset of society is heading towards a similar place. In the book, they are repulsed by the idea of having another human being in the room, and will only "view" them through electronic means. Scary stuff.
Ha I'm sure you're very enthusiastic about finding practical examples from the book you've read, but I freaking love hugs. I give a good strong hug, much like my handshake. Limp hugs / handshakes are the worst.
My sarcastic comment was highlighting the shaming of someone holding up their personal boundaries. You can think the boundaries he set would not be the same boundaries you set, but I think it is important to acknowledge and respect them. Calling him a dick for enforcing them in a polite manner is not respectful to the human side of Jerry.
So what I'm hearing is, "Not wanting to be hugged immediately means you belong in a fictional world where you are a complete recluse..."
And just because /u/sowhatsgoingonhere is defending Jerry for Jerry's perspective on personal space doesnt mean that /u/sowhatsgoingonhere has the exact same view. Jerry didn't want a hug. That's it.
How have I misread the situation? Someone comes up to him, says she's a big fan and asks for a hug, he says "no thanks". She asks again twice, he says "no thanks" twice. She exits stage left. What did he do wrong? How would he handle the situation differently to not be a dick?
To me, this is about as normal as an interaction comes. I find it funny that people are calling him a dick when he was being a human.
people are just defending him because they like Seinfeld. He is a complete and utter asshole. Look up peoples experiences meeting this guy. I have not heard a single thing that does not paint him out to be an arrogant douche.
i saw him on the street once in NYC and waved and said "big fan!" and he said "thanks!" and we both kept walking. so now you've heard a single thing that doesn't paint him as a douche! he also took a picture with a couple of my friends once and they said he was friendly. so there's two things!
Initially I did too, until I realized he had no idea who she was, and possibly could have thought it was a random fan.
I'm no fan of being touched in general, by strangers more so. Seems like a natural reaction, we were just prompted to think worse of him by the OP's title.
I honestly would look at it the same way because I don't think someone trying to hug someone of the opposite sex is a sexual move or something that is inappropriate.
I guess the more I thought about it what put the icing on the cake for me was him saying he didn't even know who she was. If he did or didn't it doesn't matter. It's not as if it was some random fan that was able to get access to him. He must have known she was someone who was supposed to be there so I don't think he needed to say that.
I am a person who absolutely hates to hurt someone's feelings so I guess I am looking at it from that perspective. Also I don't have an aversion to people touching me or getting hugs.
I agree that people have the right to politely decline being touched, but I guess I just felt bad for her. She definitely should have gotten the hint the first time though. If it was me I would have just walked away when he said no thanks the first time.
That's weird. I've read some stuff over there and those studs totally have getting laid down to a science. And not just one chick either. They call it spinning plates. Beta bros can't even get on their level.
Hoo boy, that's some prime cut projection right there
Give yourself some more credit, dude. You're not an inhuman loser with no entitlement to your personal space just because you're on a website. If someone you don't want to touch you asks if they can touch you, you can justifiably say no thanks

And in all honesty, I could gain 150 pounds and it still wouldn't make me less correct about saying you're entitled to your own personal space.
Browsing a website doesn't make you a loser. Being overweight doesn't make you a loser. It's all about your willingness to actualize and be true to your own convictions.
I can tell that you're not even really lashing out at me as an individual. This is about your idea of someone or something that got to you really badly. Feel free to send a message and chat about it if you need someone to listen.

Jerry Seinfeld has become an extremely self important narcissist douchebag and it really comes across in nearly all the interviews he's done the last several years.
He told dad jokes on TV back when TV still meant something and got filthy rich off syndication, and now seems to think he's some Bob Hope level elder statesman of comedy.
Seinfeld's comedy was something of a novelty in his day. He went high with noncrass humor, and you will understand his talent if you see other comedians talk to him or about him. He is a legend for a reason. However, he is a bit of an arrogant ass and he tends to admit that often.
Exactly. Acted like a real class A dickhead and is getting a pat on the back for it from a bunch of Internet neck beards who think they're totally cool for saying they don't know who a world famous singer is.
He could have not been such a dick and gave her a handshake or acted in any other way than that.

You and I have no idea what it's like to be a celebrity. I can only imagine how many times he has wanted to be left alone and was interrupted by a stranger, can you imagine how annoying that would be? On top of that, she asked for a hug, why should he be obligated to hug people he doesn't know? I'm sure if she would have said "can I shake your hand" he probably would have just done it.

TIL you have to hug everyone who comes up to you asking for a hug, and refusing is considered rude.
I imagine you would say the same "rude woman" commentary if the roles were reversed, where a woman has no idea who a guy is. I'm 100% confident you expect her to feel obliged to hug him lest she be called rude.
What? He handled that in a pretty reasonable way. He rejected her hug, that doesn't make him rude. What's rude is pressing the proposal that was just rejected.
I watched all of the interviews from David Lynch's charity red carpet live on Facebook yesterday, and honestly Jerry Seinfeld just comes across as a giant douchebag. When he talks about Trancendental Meditation he gets a look in his eye that is not entirely dissimilar to the way that Scientologists talk about their "religion." I say this as someone who has a pretty open mind about meditation and even TM, I just dislike phony personalities like Seinfeld, and honestly if you saw anything from his interview with the Washington Post correspondent at the same red carpet event he constantly made patronizing references to her young age and not "getting" a variety of subjects.
Of course everyone will rag on Kesha (Because this is reddit), but from what I've seen of her recent live shows she seems like a talented musician and an authentic person. Perhaps it was silly for her to try to hug Seinfeld while he was getting interviewed, but she's definitely not the asshole here.
I'll also qualify this by saying that I'm a huge fan of the show Seinfeld. But I will say Jay Leno (who was also interviewed at this same event, and whose late night show I absolutely detested) seemed like a much more warm and genuine person.
The more I see from Seinfeld, the more I think he's just a cold 1%er who occasionally has to come down from his ivory tower to attend charity events or sell people things with lucrative commercial gigs. It's sort of a bummer to see reddit try to make him look like this "good guy" in this.
[deleted] ยท 5 points ยท Posted at 21:47:35 on June 6, 2017 ยท (Permalink)
That's a lot of analysis for an interview. Seinfeld has never made himself out to be anything other than kind of a dick, though. His whole career was built off of making fun of social niceties.
Eh, there's a pretty big difference between the "everyman" neurotic weirdo that he was in the 90's, and the east coast society man elite that he is today.
All he does these days is shill his "American Dream" story about how he works harder than everyone else and has no time for nonsense. His persona in Seinfeld couldn't be more different than the person that he is today.
I acknowledge that in my post. It's her mistake for interrupting him during the middle of an interview. I'm merely pointing out that he came across as a giant douchebag the entire time he was on the red carpet yesterday. If you want to cringe, pull up some videos of him proselytizing about the miraculous powers of TM.
Edit: Not sure why you are downvoting me. Did you watch his interviews on the red carpet yesterday? It wasn't just this Kesha thing. He was basically acted like an egotistical prick the entire time he was on the carpet.
So he's a giant douchebag for talking about something he truly and passionately believes has improved his life for the better? He talks about this because he's trying to share it with others, he isn't forcing it down anyone's throat, he's just sharing something he cares about in the hopes that it will make others happier or at least more content with what they have in life.
You know this kind of makes you come across as a giant douchebag, right?
You're putting words in my mouth. I think meditation is great, and I've worked with people that practice TM. I'm taking issue with his interactions with reporters yesterday. All of interactions from this event were super patronizing. He's a comedic legend, I'll give him that. But he strikes me as the sort of person that maniacally yells at his assistants when he doesn't get things his way in between meditation sessions.
I also think his late career is just obnoxious including his Comedian's getting Coffee show. He's turning into the east coast elite version of Leno, and just seems totally detached anything beyond his skewed 1%er view of the world. In general, I just sort of dislike people who talk constantly about how much of a hard worker they are. It's sort of posh these days to constantly talk about how much you work, and it's just incredibly patronizing.
I'm pretty sure that reddit is designed for people to write their perspectives and comments. I apologize if I am not slapping my hands against the keyboard to your liking.
I'm merely providing my take as someone who watched the red carpet event, rather than burying my head in the sand and jerking off to this mythological idealized version of Jerry Seinfeld.

Give up dude, they are mostly children with a few idiots mixed in. The Hive has formed its opinion and will now defend that to the death.
There's a scene in the documentary Comedian where a guy tries to go for a second handshake after Jerry has already shook his hand once; it's a similar Seinfeld moment like in this video, he just says 'we just shook, no no we just shook' and the guys hand just hangs there while Jerry backs away a little.
I imagine he has to deal with stuff like this constantly
Can't blame him, he was working and she interrupted. And she waited to say hello outside of an interview maybe he would've been more receptive. Doesn't really matter if he's a celebrity, some people don't like being bothered.

I can see both sides of the argument; dick move by Seinfeld vs don't run up on someone and try to hug them. But for this kind of thing I just ask myself "what would it cost me to hug her? What might the value of the hug be to her?" Barring being in a bitchy mood, that's how I process these kinds of interactions. If I can make someone happy at the expense of mild inconvenience, I try to do so. But maybe he really hates hugs, I don't know.
All jokes aside, that was one of the most savage/embarrassing things I have seen. Not only did this guy curve the ever living shit out of this girl; with all his soul, he had absolutely no idea who this perfectly fucking random stranger was doing, asking him for a hug. There was no playing around or joke here. His eyes said it all.
Good for him. A lot of people have a real sense of entitlement towards celebrities. An autograph, ok. A wave or verbal acknowledgement, sure. But physical touching and hugging, nah. Totally reasonable to turn down.
Kesha v. Dr. Luke refers to what was a New York Supreme Court lawsuit in which music producer Dr. Luke sued singer Kesha and her mother, Pebe Sebert, for defamation and breach of contract.
Jerry doesn't have to do anything he doesn't want to do for the rest of his natural life. He is a very interesting character. How would you be if it was this way with your life?

That's awesome! The laughing made it super-awesome.
He didn't know that person, it could have been a random crazy bitch surprising him in the middle of an interview for all he knew, and I'm sure he's had a bunch of crazy fans run up and try to initiate personal contact in his time.
He handled it pretty well too, no name calling, or nasty comments.
I don't blame him for not wanting to hug her, especially if he doesn't even know her. I'm sure that happens often, and he's probably sick of strangers invading his personal space.
Even so...that her request was obnoxious does not make his response less so. He could have been more gracious about it.

Really hard to reject these kind of advances... doesn't feel respectful because she is kind of forcing him into the interaction with flattery and flirtation. Instead of just coming up to someone and being vulnerable and saying hello while not getting in their space.
Let's be honest here: these Reddit writes Seinfeld episodes are not even close to the real thing. They sound like they were written by a teen trying to do a caricature of Seinfeld.
To be honest, Seinfeld is a normal guy. If you told me to point out Kesha....i would have no idea what she looks like...just like probably 90% of us above 25.
Edit: I just googled her. I still have no idea what she looked like until now. I'm sure I probably heard a song or two from her.
After listening to comedians like Bill Burr and Joe Rogan talk about Jerry on their podcasts and his presence backstage, he seems to be one of the most intimidating comedians around today. He's like the Kobe Bryant of comedy...one of the all time greats but also super serious and intense about his craft and doesn't take any bs from anyone when it comes to it
Met Michael Shannon at a bar once. He was very nice. We happened to be sat next to him and talked about nothing really, just casual chit chat. He had a few beers, got up and said it was nice to meet us and he went on his way. Extremely nice guy. We didn't ask about movies or anything. My wife said she liked his hat. That was pretty much the extent of it.

I don't know who you're talking about, but it sounds lovely.
I respect the fact that even after rejecting the hug the first time that it never degrades to him sounding like an asshole. He just keeps politely, yet firmly, saying no three other times.
Seinfeld just did not want to hug someone he didn't know. But finding out later that Kesha is a famous person probably would make him feel bad for rejecting but not if he rejected a mere commoner.
I love how he doesn't give a fuck who she is and how famous people treat her. She is nothing to him and he makes it apparent in a very Seinfeld like way.... no thanks he says and then laughs in her face!
True, but still surprising they wouldn't at least have passed each other in the back. The group last night consisted of Seinfeld, Leno, Hugh Jackman, Margaret Cho, Ben Folds and Kesha. They all went on stage over 2 hours, Kesha played after Seinfeld's bit.
True, but still surprising they wouldn't at least have passed each other in the back.
If they met last night, why did she introduce herself and ask for a hug at the red carpet? I imagine she'd have said she's a huge fan in private if she'd had the chance.

Or in reality she was just a big fan and a hug would have made her day. But now she's just disappointed and Seinfeld comes off as a jerk.
I dont think he came off as a jerk at all. I am sure she was a huge fan just as I am but the fact that he had no idea who she was and politely said no thank you to her hug just made the entire interaction hilarious. I would be disappointed as well but cant help but laugh when he sends her packing and you know that she is used to having her ego stroked and Seinfeld knocked her down a peg or 2 without even trying.
I think she's just a lil disappointed but she'll get over it. You're acting like he made it his personal mission to shatter her world and make her hate life
no no no.... I found it funny that he literally had no idea who she was. He has no reason to stay on top of pop culture so he couldnt tell her apart from any other musician in her realm. He was polite and said no thanks to her hug attempt and then when he heard who she was he wished her good luck. I just found it funny how the interaction played out. Good shit.
This is reddit, half of the userbase hates social interaction, seeing women "get away" with things(like interrupting an interview), and anything mainstream. A smiling female pop star getting shot down by a jaded but undeniably accomplished old man is their wet dream

I find it funny that he has no idea who she is and politely tells her no thank you to her hug attempt. He was being malicious at all and treated her like a normal person and you know that she is used to having her ego stroked by everyone. Not this time and he didnt do it to be a dick either. He didnt know her and didnt want a hug from her. It was just a funny interaction that was caught on camera. GOOD SHIT TO MY FUNNY BONE!
I do... he has a respected career and does not have to glad hand every person that comes up to him. She is famous to most people and he has no idea who she even is!
He wasnt a dick at all. He respectfully said no thank you which I am sure came as a shock to her because she is probably used to being treated like a super star and having her ego stroked. Not that time and I found it hilarious that it was Jerry Seinfeld that did it.

She's also had this weird ongoing feud with Sony Music and this Dr. Luke guy over alleged rape claims and is basically banned from doing anymore music while under contract with Sony. I'm not sure she's even allowed to write anything until she's released from her contract. I don't even understand why they still refuse to release her, and just wash their hands of it. They're not making anymore money off of her besides royalties and are just being assholes. I guess it's a principle sort of thing to them?

Simpsons did also a Tik Tok Version.
It was extremely considerate of the writers to give such a clear and obvious shark-jumping event.
American singer Kesha has released two studio albums, one compilation album, two extended plays, thirteen singles (including four as a featured artist), three promotional singles, and has made six other guest appearances. As of April 2016, Kesha has sold approximately 60 million records worldwide. As of March 2016, the singer has sold 2.47 million albums and 36.3M songs in the United States.
Kesha made her international debut in early 2009 featuring on the Flo Rida single, "Right Round", which reached number one in the United States on the Billboard Hot 100 and topped the charts in five other countries.
To be fair, thereโre many songs like that that you hear all over the place without knowing what the singer(s) in them are called because you donโt care enough about them.
And even more songs \ singers that even if you do know their name, you still donโt know what they look like.
I have heard the name but had no idea about any of her music. I am sure that my daughter listens to her stuff. I actually thought that it seemed a little too long since I heard from this douche bag and here you are!
This douche bag keeps trolling me and I find it funny. It was because of a post about Millennials. I work in staffing and I interview & hire people all day long so I know who to hire and why. The Millennial generation starts at 1980 and moves forward which I technically fall in but I do not identify with them much at all. I have the work ethic of Gen X but know how to utilize technology as Millennials do. He doesnt like that fact that I called out the short comings of a generation that I technically fall in but I find it funny that he keeps popping up and telling me to get to work. This Ted Talk touches on alot of the issues that I brought up and he spit the truth back out like I fed him a shit sandwich. It is fact and I see it every day.
In August 2001, Males wrote โthese young Americans should finally get the recognition they deserveโ, praising the cohort and stating that "the permissively raised, universally deplored Generation X is the true 'great generation,' for it has braved a hostile social climate to reverse abysmal trends", describing them as the hardest-working group since the World War II generation, which was dubbed by Tom Brokaw as "The Greatest Generation". He reported Gen Xers' entrepreneurial tendencies helped create the high-tech industry that fueled the 1990s economic recovery.[71][72]
Generation X, or Gen X, is the demographic cohort following the baby boomers. There are no precise dates for when this cohort starts or ends; demographers and researchers typically use starting birth years ranging from the early-to-mid 1960s and ending birth years ranging from the late 1970s to early 1980s. Generation X is a relatively smaller demographic cohort sandwiched between two larger demographic cohorts, the baby boomers and the millennials.
Members of Generation X were children during a time of shifting societal values and as children were sometimes called the "latchkey generationโ, due to reduced adult supervision compared to previous generations, a result of increasing divorce rates and increased maternal participation in the workforce, prior to widespread availability of childcare options outside of the home.
most of them dont but some of them do. there will always be exceptions to the general rule. this friggin guy though wont stop trolling me because I dont identify with my own kind apparently. I dont have any type of social media other than reddit (I am no monster) and dont find much in common with people that seem to be about 30 and younger. The way they have been raised within the structure of our digital society has offered them little resilience in the face of adversity and lack of work ethic to remain willing to grind it out. They only see the summitt of the mountain and not the journey it takes to get there. Instant gratification and instant results are not a common practice in the real world. You have to go out there every day and bring your lunch box to work. Good ol fashioned work ethic beats out most of the competition with that generation and some people arent willing to see it. I see this stuff every day because all I do is sift through the bull shit.

Holy fuck, dude. Just tell them to fuck off. Maybe a crude joke about their mother. Stop explaining yourself to Internet strangers who obviously are not interested in having a serious conversation with you.
Thank my man. I dont mind people letting me have it because I am only stating my opinion and they are stating theirs. Those people must really love Kesha and didnt like that Seinfeld had not idea who she was and told her to take a hike!
You're very close minded. I'm 30 and some of the young people I know are the most creative, interesting and hard working people I know. Likewise some of the people older than me are lazy selfish and entitled and I you knew anything about history through the ages, you would know this has always been the case
There are always exceptions to every rule and I was giving personal feedback but that doesnt go for everyone. I agree that there are tons of young creative minds out there but alot of them lack patience and willingness to grind out each day to work their way up. I see it first hand so how can I be close minded? Its not like I am making this shit up, I see it every day in my own career! What industry do you work in? I interview and hire people all day and see their work ethic and how reliable they are. Not trying to hurt feelings, just stating facts.

Man I feel just like you. I'm a Millennial but I identify as part of The Greastest Generation. Like just because I wasn't actually fighting for my life in another country doesn't mean I can't relate. All the kids my age are in college learning shit but I'm overseas fighting Nazis. I'm glad I found someone I can relate to.
Lol right? "I work in staffing and sit at a desk all day basically doing nothing then go home and make my mom mow the lawn, my work ethic is off the charts! Today I had to pick up a pen 6 times!"

Ive been on reddit for the last 8 hours, PRAISE MY WORK ETHIC
You don't understand, they're so upset by their unfair pay that they're lazy. Intentionally not meeting your job expectations will surely let millennials show the corporate world!
never once did I ever say I was better than anyone. I simply work in an industry where I see it every day. I have my own short comings but I maintain a real career where I make real money and am not a self entitled asshole like I can only imagine you are. You obviously missed the part where I classified myself as one but do not identify with them. you must have skipped that part ya fucking twat.
I will hire anyone that proves to be motivated and reliable. I do not care who they are or how old they are so I dont miss out on anyone. All I am giving is my own personal feedback from years of interviews and the market in which I work in. Unemployment is less than 4% in Michigan so I have to consider anyone that walks through my door as potential. I am all for innovation and not subscribing to old methods simply because it has always been done that way but the younger generation has alot of struggles that are experiencing now that they are in the work force.
Cool. Just wanted to check.
I was recruiting for 2 years and seeing some low key racism / sexism / ageism, really opened my eyes to how some companies were passing up amazing, motivated people due to their own biases.
At the end of the day, the best person for the job is the one that gets it, a range of skills and experiences and perspectives means that the company is richer and you are filtering from a much better and bigger pool of candidates.
That is why equal opportunity laws for put in place although they are not always adhered to. I do find that the older generation has a better work ethic and are more reliable but that there are always exceptions to that rule. I see alot of the same thing regarding racism / sexism / ageism that tarnishes the industry and then people get pissed at me because I verbalize my feedback about it. It is not me that is doing it but it doesnt happen nonetheless. skillset, work ethic, reliability, are by far and away the most important things I look for when hiring.
observant more than defensive. I call em like I see em and I never think of myself as better than anyone and I will not stand for someone painting me in that light.

Toot your own horn some more while putting down someone else. Quite the superiority complex!
Oh wow dude, you obviously know what happened so you must know them personally or in a fashion where you found out her claim to be untrue? So how did it go down? What really happened?
Or did you just say that because that's what YOU think and has no factual basis? I think so, sit down and shut up.
Kesha v. Dr. Luke refers to what was a New York Supreme Court lawsuit in which music producer Dr. Luke sued singer Kesha and her mother, Pebe Sebert, for defamation and breach of contract.
And her and her lawyers have said that her saying that was due to her being under distress, fear and ptsd from rape (cptsd).
So like I said, you, some person on the internet with absolutely no personal stake or shred of further information than publicly available in the case, don't know what's going on, and cannot draw a conclusion as though it's fact.
But hey man, keep on discrediting someone who says they were raped. Bet you're a hit with people lol.
And clearly, as evident by your downvotes, not many agree with you.

A horrible artist whom I know of at least a handful of people who can sing much better than her. I shouldn't say horrible, but she pretty much is nothing special who was for whatever reason marketed which apparently you can do with any body. There's always a demographic for music no matter how bad but I find her music to be deafening and uncreative

I think I heard something similar, where she couldn't release music on her own because of it
Well given how many songs she has written for famous artists, the amount of songs she has written for herself and the amount of awards she has won while you don't apparently even have one song you're proud of, I respectfully don't think you're in a position to be as harsh as you were, you could've just said 'I don't like her music' which still would've been a pointless comment

Oh I have a lot I'm proud of but I'm definitely not going to link it here. I don't make a living off of it so I have nothing to gain by opening myself up to someone clearly wanting to dismiss my work or critique it. Also we make completely different music and I never compared my music to hers to begin with. Music is subjective just as all art is but there is a line that needs to he drawn when the music created is utter crap. If my daughter could pay for a beat and do something as good or a friend could get a beat and do something more amazing than what she has done then it's not about talent, it's about marketing. Maybe she can sing and hasn't been allowed to have creative freedom due to legal issues, well then I don't know her full potential but she signed whatever contract she signed. I am not a fan and besides people liking what's marketed and shoved down their throat or people not conscious to what they listen to, I can't understand why people like her. Maybe there's more to her I haven't explored for various reasons but from what I've heard, including accapella tracks, the fact she's rich and famous boggles my mind.
Why would you assume I want to dismiss or critique your work?
Unlike yourself who appears to just want to slag off artists for no reason, I have no reason to do that. As a musician myself, I think anyone making music should be commended for being creative and expressing themselves, in fact the more artistic expression and ideas in the world, the better.
If someone pays for or makes your daughter a beat and she ends up writing songs for people like Alice Cooper, Britney Spears, The Veronicas and Ariana Grande as well as a result then maybe it is more about marketing but I highly doubt it. I would say that the simplest answer is Kesha is a damn good pop songwriter which makes sense because apart from being able to play the saxophone and trumpet, she is apparently very smart and hardworking
If you can't understand why people like different music then you shouldn't really be making comments about art or music because it suggest your world view is extremely limited and saying "Music is subjective just as all art is but there is a line that needs to he drawn when the music created is utter crap" is just lewronggeneration elitist bullshit not to mention childish and close minded. I don't expect people to like the doom/stoner metal, experimental jazz, psych rock, electronic, etc etc that I like but I don't go on the internet and insult them for that.

She may very well be a good song writer, but I'm not talking about that. Also although art is subjective there is a line between quality vs crap, easy attention/ money vs heart, etc. I along with many others have recently had this similar discussion regarding the new wave of artists submitting their creations like blank canvases and a glass box as art which although subjective is still a very lazy attempt regardless whether or not it brings up discussion or gets attention.You telling me I have no say is hypercritical. I'm far from closed minded which is a very ignorant assumption just because I disagree with u or have a different opinion on one topic. Im glad you have an altruistic view on art where any one who attempts it is bring creative and contributing, but in the mainstream where anyone is marketed regardless of talent, it creates the issue we have now, a million mediocre artists making money off mindless unconscious people. Kesha, or more specifically the music she has made popular, is nothing more than a niche, a fad, and lazy attempt at music. Maybe she is truly expressing herself and maybe there are actually millions who find her music positive or even deep. I however specifically find her music to be pure marketing and nothing more. Maybe when she clears her legal issues and makes music she truly wants to then I'll have a different opinion. I'm discussing the songs she has popularized, ur talking about her work ethic, ability to play instruments, and song writing abilities, things I have not brought up nor was I referring to. So you're a musician? Why take your time creating music? Why not just take something u heard and switch it up a little? Why not just write what people want to hear and not what's in ur heart? Why not just create an image off mediocre crap u can do in a day instead of write music from the heart that takes weeks or months? Should i expect to bang out a song by tomorrow and expect u to like it or give me credit because of the fact I'm creating? Of course not. If my intent is to put out music from my heart that's one thing, if my intent is to slap together crap to make a buck that's another. And I'll take ur word for it, Kesha is a great song writer, although based on the songs I've heard, her lyrics are thoughtless. If u feel her lyrics have heart and conscious thought behind them, then we obviously have completely different views on what good music is. U say I have no say and I'm closed minded, but trust me, offer me a million dollars to put out that crap and I'll turn it down in a heartbeat.
You can say you're not close minded but you're just dismissing what she has created and insulting it and her hard work because of your opinion of it when a lot of people do enjoy it which is one of the main reasons for art to exist, for enjoyment and to broaden horizons. Throwing around phrases like 'unconscious people' is once again elitist bullshit designed to make you feel better about yourself. I find her music positive (well some of it, I only know about 4 maybe 5 songs) and she is truly expressing herself and who are you to say it's lazy. You don't know anything about the process. You call it lazy music and then state you're not talking about her work ethic or song writing abilities? There have been lots of fads and niches in art, but that doesn't detract from it, it has its time and place.
Yes I am a musician and I create music because I take pleasure from both the creation and performance of it. I have taken stuff I have heard and switched it up i.e. doing unique covers or songs based off themes or riffs in other songs an example being taking the Dr.Who theme and making a long psych jam out of it. I have written what I think people want to hear and I have done stuff from 'in my heart'. Yes, if you bang out a song tomorrow I would give you credit for creating something even if i didn't like it. Kesha did the same but it turns out a lot of people really liked it. Not everything is some Illuminati conspiracy to control the masses. In fact, I would highly recommend reading about her early life
Personally I don't believe all art has to have heart and conscious thought behind it. Sometimes it is just about the visceral feeling and a more primal feeling. I've played in punk bands where the lyrics had not much thought at all, it was more about the music. I've also played instrumental pieces.
At the end of the day, all this boils down to you not liking her music, and thats totally fine. You just don't have to be such a smug cunt about it pretending you're so more cultured because when Kesha has fans in people like Iggy Pop, Alice Cooper, Ben Folds and Wayne Coyne then you should probably at least have some humility and admit that it's all just horses for courses
Kesha Rose Sebert (/หkษสษ roสz หsษbษrt/ KESH-ษ ROHZ SEB-ษrt; born March 1, 1987; formerly stylized as Ke$ha) is an American singer, songwriter, and rapper. In 2005, at age 18, Kesha was signed to producer Dr. Luke's label Kemosabe Records. Her breakthrough came in early 2009 after appearing on American rapper Flo Rida's number-one single "Right Round".
him honestly not knowing who she was, is the best part. He didnt do it intentionally to hurt her feelings but more because he had no idea who she was and wasnt interested in giving her a hug. He wasnt being a dick at all but some people have been letting me have it because I found it hilarious.
It's understandable--I don't let random people hug me. Some people are big huggers--I am not. And if Seinfeld is anything like his character on Seinfeld, he's not a hugger, either, so I love him for that. But if he had known who she was, he might have obliged her.
You know that she is used to having her ego stroked just like any other celebrity and probably assumed that her knew who she was and was hug her without question. To inadvertently give her a complex without even trying makes me laugh.
I laughed at the incident too, but I didn't laugh in anyone's face. There's a HUGE difference between laughing after she leaves and laughing in her face. You know it, and so does everyone else.
He doesn't know who she is. He literally does not know who she is. Why should he hug her? Because she thinks she is attractive? Mad respect to Seinfeld for having her kick rocks.
Couldn't agree anymore. He was in the middle of an interview and she hijacks the conversation because she thinks its okay to do so. He doesnt know who she is and doesnt want a hug so send her on her way. He even said no thank you so its not like he totally dogged her. He treated her like a normal person which I am sure she is not used to. Good shit
He laughed and said he had no idea who she was. He did say no thank you so he was polite about it but it was funny to see her face when she is used to having her ego stroked but Seinfeld literally had no idea who she was.
Not sure I would call him out of touch because he has no reason to have to stay "in touch" with pop culture. He is an A list celeb that treated kesha like any other person and didnt stroke her ego which I am sure she is used to. He had no idea who she was so he didnt intentionally dis her but didnt want to be grabbed on while in the middle of an interview. Even politely said no thank you and it was great!
Old celebrity who is known for his elitism, yeah, he's out of touch.
didnt stroke her ego which I am sure she is used to.
Wow, you seem to have a pretty big preconceived notion and want to look down on her for no reason (and you seem to be as out of touch as Jerry, just google her hardships over the last few years and maybe not be so quick to judge someone).
I am totally not looking down on her and no nothing about her background. Everyone has their own personal struggles that the public may not know about so I empathize with those. On the flip side of that, she is paid millions of dollars to perform and be a personality figure head for pop culture. She chose that industry so that bull shit comes with the territory. I have struggles that would rival whatever hers are but I am not in the public eye so I will not feel sorry for her in that respect. She is still a human being with real emotions and feelings but this incident was fucking hilarious and it is the reason it was online.

I agree he did do it politely, but I almost feel like he was laughing at her just a little bit too... But only because it WAS weird for a seemingly random person to come up to you and ask for a hug.
"I wish her the best hahaha"
Maybe he's still laughing about the situation, but part of me just felt like he was saying.

Jerry is honestly such a stupid out of touch prick. I know I'll get downvoted to hell for this comment but fuck it. This un-funny egotistical asshole hasn't been grounded in reality for decades now.
So having money means you have to let every skank on the planet throw themselves at you? When you're trying to do an interview? Not sure what world you live in, dude.
Spoken like a true reddit neckbeard. Where do I begin? Calling Kesha a skank for no reason. Saying she's 'throwing herself' at Jerry Seinfeld when she just wants to tell him she loves his work. Sure, it was not the most apt way to tell someone you appreciate them but Jerry is still an out-of-touch, unfunny prick that literally made a billion dollars because people watched his show. He owes it to his fans.
Let's see: He's being interviewed, he's answering the questions gracefully and professionally and some nobody comes barging in trying to make herself the center of attention while an interview is on going.
And how fucked in the head can you be to think just because she's famous she has the right to run up to him and selfishly demand a hug, while he's working with an interviewer?
This isn't a private interview, he isn't a king, they're on a red carpet, these interactions happen all the time and the interviewers love it when they happen. Plus she's not demanding a hug like he owes her one, she's asking for one because she probably likes his show or something.
Plus she's not demanding a hug like he owes her one,
Nah, she's just physically in his space to the point he has to back the fuck away. Nothing obtrusive at all.
she's asking for one because she probably likes his show or something.
Then she can use her manners and wait until he finishes the fucking interview and then ask like a civilized human being...but then again, no cameras would be around, huh?
A myriad of reasons really. First thing that popped in my head was, hell no I don't want to be covered in glitter for the rest of the night.
Her outfit looked contagious. Like if he touched it a glitter bomb would explode all over his tux. I think her hair was even shedding glittered dandruff.
Jerry: "Why should I have to give a hug?"
Kramer: "It's a kind gesture, Jerry!"
Jerry: "I don't know her, I DON'T HAVE TO GIVE OUT FREE HUGS!"
Kramer: "It's not the end of the world, Jerry, give her a hug!"
Jerry: "I DON'T WANNA HUG, I DON'T WANNA HUG!"
End of the episode, the guy who finds Jerry's lost wallet, Jerry "Thanks for finding my wallet here's 5 bucks" Guy "No I'd like a hug" Jerry "No seriously, take $100" Guy 'I just want a hug ok you jerk!"
What? She was a hug rapist. The only reason she didn't get away with it is because Jerry stopped her and backed away, which is the only reason why she asked

Jerry Seinfeld has always seemed like such an uber asshole. He seems incredibly conceiting. I imagine his house is full of shrines to himself. I've never seem an interview with him where he doesn't manage to mention what an amazing and successful person he is. He always reminds people that Seinfeld was the #1 show on TV when he decided to end it. He's also the type of person who i've never seen thank anyone else for helping. He's not the "Oh, I don't deserve this award all to myself because I couldn't have done it without these other people *cough*Larry David*cough*". Rather he seems like the "yes I am an amazing person, and you'll all laugh at this, because you think I'm being sarcastic about my self-centered-ness. You'll think no one can really be this full of themselves, so you'll laugh, but the thing is, I really do love myself this much, and think that I deserve all the awards in the world". Then he'll do his awkward fake laugh.
He is saying, you can't possibly know who he is in real life by watching his tv shows where he ACTS

Hmm, ok. I did say I thought he seemed like that, not that I knew for a fact. And in my opinion you can get a pretty good opinion about someone even if you don't know them personally. That's like saying you can consider Bill Cosby a rapist, unless he raped you personally. I'm not basing this purely on his role in Seinfeld the show. I've seen a lot of his stuff, heard him on podcasts, seen him on webshows, seen him on interviews, etc. I've also seen/heard other people talking about him, so I think it's not purely based on nothing. I know that people don't like to think of their idols as being anything but perfect human beings, but that's just not always the case.
Nothing but praise for Seinfeld in this thread but honestly that was pretty dickish.

A hug shouldn't be considered a safe bet. Some people like their space.
What if it was a female celebrity and a male trying to hug her? Nothing about that makes him a dick. People shouldn't have to touch people they don't want to touch.
Imagine every time you leave the house people you don't know want to come up and hug you, I'm sure after a couple of decades the novelty would have completely worn off. Apparently he can be very standoffish with lots of people, even other stand up comics. I think his honesty in not wanting to partake in this fake shared "moment" with strangers is commendable.

Autists have trouble picking up on social cues, if you know anything about Seinfeld you would know that his comedy is built on stuff like that. He obviously 'gets it' very well that's why his comedy is so insightful, but since you might be autistic let me just tell you that if he says he doesn't it's for the purpose of humor.

Yeah because taking advantage of young, dumb dudes is perfectly fine. And trying to put them in a photo book and make it public is perfectly ok as well, all in the name of humiliating men. She's an awful person, switch the roles and think how you would feel.
By your logic, everything with her and Dr Luke was just part of the contract, since she stayed with him and kept using him.
And by your logic every rock star for the past 50 years has been a horrible person. There's a difference between taking pictures of groupies and several years of emotional abuse.

But again, she chose to stay with him just as these guys chose to take photos (but nowhere was it stated that they knew it was going to be published.)
She literally did these things just to emasculate them. She is an emotional abuser. It doesn't matter what other rock stars have done, that arguments is childish. We are talking about one person.
In my opinion it's a hit or a miss. Some people are for it, some aren't. I didn't see anything wrong with her asking for a hug, but it was a little too much to kept pushing for one after he said no.

Do you not think it is extremely rude and entitled behaviour to interrupt an interview to repeatedly demand a hug from someone you have never met?
No one should be force to shake hands if they don't want to either but it is considered rude not to anyways, unless your hands are covered in hot sauce and then you declare you would if your hands were clean. Motherfucking social niceties.

Just because you think hugging is the new handshake, does not make that the case. That's just arrogance.

I don't hug people I don't know. Neither does Jerry, and guess what? Neither do most people. I think you're just upset because your auto-tuned princess got slighted.
So you call me arrogant for declaring what most people do and then you do it yourself. Sure you don't hug overly friendly people to avoid an awkward moment, you and Jerry are bad asses. Can I suck both your cocks at the same time?
It ain't rude to not want someone placing their body on you. She doesn't even know the guy and she's going straight for family actions.

No. You aren't obligated to hug every random stranger that wants a hug. He wasn't an asshole at all. Someone he didn't know came out of nowhere and interrupted a conversation to ask for a hug, and she continued after the first rejection. He was polite the whole time.
If someone goes in for one it is considered nice to return it. Oh yeah that Entertainment Tonight clip of Seinfeld asking one question followed by a stupid narrator quip is ruined now! All because of that horrible, horrible Kesha.

True, but you don't always have to be nice. I'm not saying spit in someone's face, but there's nothing wrong with politely refusing a hug, especially from a stranger who approaches you in the middle of a conversation.
It's all about the setting. I wouldn't hug a random person on the
street, but when you're in the public eye, you better act personable.
Jerry's so rich and he's to elite to behave like real people who hug
each other to express emotion. Funny guy on TV but total douchebag
IRL.
Yes, so do you think a celebrity should let a random fan come up and hug them? They don't know that person at all. For all they know it's a psycho with a knife or something.

I honestly don't think being a celebrity means you owe fans anything actually, i just hate the argument that celebrities "are regular people." they're not, living in the spotlight is a full time job and it doesn't happen by accident. they want to be there. There has to be some way people can condemn rude and overly-demanding fans without pretending that its wholly and completely out of left field unheard of that people would want to come up and meet celebrities for novelty value or other reasons. The reality of the world is that being a celebrity means you're going to get chatted up in public a lot. its not alright, but it is what it is so you gotta find a way to handle that that works for you if you're going to be a celebrity.
i can think ke$ha is out of line and rude for interrupting and touching without asking and also think the way jerry handled it - albeit while well within his rights - was rude as well for the reasons i stated above.
Thing is, if this interaction had happened on a sidewalk outside a restaurant or something, I'd agree. He was a bit rude. But he's clearly on camera, doing an interview. Even a regular fan would know that isn't the time to approach somebody.

i feel the opposite way. it could be a person holding a knife there more likely than in this situation imo. this was a red carpet event specifically for stars to mingle with each other, she most likely just didn't realize there was any interview going on - they are far from the only camera in the room and celebrities tune those out at red carpet events I'm sure.
No I don't. Its just young celebrities meeting huge veteran celebs, people admire and (even if they are shit celebrities) I feel like it's okay to just be nice, instead of rejecting them publicly. No one owes anyone anything. I just feel like in that situation I personally would just give a quick hug or handshake ( any gesture really besides straight up rejection)
One time when I was in high school, backstage at intermission during a play (yeah I did theatre/drama club), a girl I knew but was not at all friends with was going around hugging people for no reason. I was hoping she wouldn't pull that shit on me, but she did. I did almost exactly the same thing Seinfeld did, but without the "idk you" look. I just put up my hands and said, "no thanks." She asked why and I said "Well I mean, we're not really friends; I only hug friends" and she shrugged and walked away.
The reason I didn't hug her is because she slept with so many guys at our school I was afraid of getting herpes. And I'm not trying to make a joke or be an ass about it, I'm being frank. I did not want to touch her.
I mean even in that case, at least you all "knew" each other even if you weren't friends. I think you were in the right there just like I think he was here. He literally had no clue who this person was but people seem to think he should have been ok with it. That's nuts to me.
This is an interesting interaction to observe. It's a collision of boundaries and entitlement. Jerry, age 63, knows and defends his boundaries. Kesha, age 30, doesn't respect those boundaries and feels entitled to hugging Jerry. When Jerry repeatedly declines, Kesha pouts and sulks away.
So often, people aren't willing to uphold their boundaries and then feel violated and frustrated afterwards. Kudos to Jerry. Kesha needs to grow up.
From what I have heard from different comedians, Seinfeld is very strange about social situations. Some speculate he's on the spectrum.

I would much rather hang out with Kesha than Jerry Seinfeld... and not for the obvious purposes. She's supposed to be a very bright person, she seems fun and has overcome of abuse.

+1491 - I know I'll probably be crucified for this, but does anyone else think that Jerry's kind of a smug jerk?? Like, I get it. He worked really hard to make his own way from the very bottom of comedy to very top. He put the time in, he did the stand up, h...
+345 - Like when Jerry refused to eat the pizza Poppie served him because he saw him use the bathroom without washing his hands. Maybe he saw Kesha hug something earlier.
+272 - There was an interview he did where he stated he doesn't mind interacting with fans, he sees it as part of the job. He just requests basic things like no touching him and to be respectful. Edit: Found the video here
Major players are trying to completely ignore her so she doesn't get any recognition because her law suit against her career manager which she claims raped her and forced her to do sexual things for fame. Who knows for sure who's telling the truth but the guy she's suing has worked with a lot of famous people who probably all have deals with him.

K, interrupting an interview is rude..
..but y'all need to check the sexism that your kesha-hate is based on. Kicking someone when they're down? Congrats, you're a douche.
Young white girls are the most entitled people, to interrupt an interview and ask for a hug from someone because you feel like the world revolves around you.
Saw him in Aspen out shopping when I was a kid. My family was obviously excited and probably stared and whispered between ourselves, but we did not go and bother him. He gave us the most condescending look Ive ever remembered.
I mean I guess he thought she was some random fan and not a famous singer also there for the event but that was kinda mean if you ask me. Obviously you don't just go hugging anyone but damn dude....
I've read somewhere that Seinfeld is on the autism spectrum.

Honestly he did it in a very respectable way. She would be in the wrong for being offended.
That is so awesome. I think i like seinfeld even more now. Poor Ke$ha Rejected Publicly by a old man that loves younger chicks, thats gotta be saying something. You gettin old girl.
I can understand not wanting a hug from a stranger (celebrity or not.) However, Jerry Seinfeld is simply rude to people. Watch a few of his episodes of Comedians In Cars Getting Coffee. He openly talks awful to celebrity guests about fans. I used to consider myself a "Seinfeld fan", but after seeing how he treats decent people tarnished my view of him. He's become too elite and forgotten that these regular everyday people lifted him to his heights. Simply, not for me. Example: https://youtu.be/s45JT_-7v24
I started watching Comedians in Cars because I was largely a Seinfeld fan. My personal opinion of him changed a few episodes in. I think he's honest about who he is, and there's merit to that. I just lost my appreciation for him. His final comments in the example I provided speak to his sense of entitlement for providing his "gift of comedy"*
I don't listen to pop music so I had to look up who Kesha was. Wow she is terrible. There is hardly any singing in her autotuned songs. Tik Tok, Die Young, just crap..... Jerry, she isn't worth your hugs.
I mean autism, contrary to popular belief, is not really a disease that you either have or you don't. Really we are all on the autism spectrum in a sense. My point is that as someone who's worked with autistic people and followed Jerry Seinfeld for a long time it's clear that he definitely is on the more autistic side of the scale compared to most people.
Well, what do you think autism is? It is essentially personality traits and when those personality traits are severe enough we call them autism. Jerry Seinfeld would perhaps not be diagnosed with autism if they tested him but he certainly wouldn't be far off.
Asperger is now the same thing as autism according to the DSM. Aspergers used to be sort of "lesser autism", now they decided to scrap the Aspie thing and just call everything "autism spectrum disorder".
Well, they are not the same but they are indeed under the same umbrella term. What was know as Asperger is now defined probably as a mild condition of "Autism Spectrum Disorder".
You are mostly right, I'm just saying that if gorillas and orangutans are both apes - still it doesn't make the gorillas to be the same term as apes and etc. Asperger (the former term) is a mild condition of autism it's not equals to autism.

Tbh, I think Seinfeld handled the situation poorly- it was a fan (who cares if she is famous or not) asking for nothing else but a simple hug.. it doesn't take more than a couple of seconds, but he chose in that situation to yet again prove to the media and the world that Jerry Seinfeld doesn't care about any of his fans..
I don't think he's ever tried to hide how he feels about anything, so there's nothing to "prove." You either like him for it, or you don't. Don't try expecting anything different from him.
I don't get why being a fan of someone means they should have to hug me. That's stupid. There's ways to show your appreciation without hugs.
S0FF ยท 1 points ยท Posted at 02:57:36 on June 7, 2017 ยท (Permalink)
I understand your point of view, i do- but then, its only a hug, and in the end will mean a great deal to a fan that loved what you acted in, maybe your role in a tv series helped them a great deal and you were a positive force in their lives. Any prominent person in the media/politics/entertainment industry puts their life and their persona in the limelight of fans and sacrifice some privatel life in exchange for the massive monetary compensation they recieve for their work. And in the case of an actor, you are in the position you are in because you struck a chord with your fanbase. Your fans, is the exact reason why you stand on the red carpet clutchig that award for the movie that millions adore. Being rude to your fans is no way to behave to the people that for any number of reasons idolize you. A simple "im sorry, but i really do not like hugging" would've gracefullynsufficed and a no means no, i get that. But the way he turns around and says that he doesn't know who that was like she was some kind of crazy person afterwards in a manner where he acts like he is on a pillar staring down at "mere mortals". Also, this is further backed up with the fact You don't have to look hard to read all the stories of how he treats the people around him be it fans or writers, he is notoriously difficult to work with and has on multiple occassions been rude to fans and staff at hotels and restaurants. Even talk show hosts. The way he displayed carelessness in the fact a fan stood before him was far from fitting from someone who considers himself "royalty" in the world of comedy. I still get your point, a no is a no and that fan should've accepted that the first time, but the way he handled that situation is not fitting of any grown up in a position to influence people that look up to one.

LOL I saw this footage on Youtube and nearly 90% of comments were saying how much of a douche he was. He did the right thing, I imagine hugging Ke$ha is the equivalent of playing a STI game of Bingo
Idk he just broke her heart and he thought she was a fan. He didn't offer a reason he just kinda mocked her. Plus in his bill Maher episode of getting coffee he was a total dick to a waiter. Handed the guy a balled up napkin. He's just getting pretentious and it's weird Bc we now know the tone of the Seinfeld show was Larry David's genius.
Kesha v. Dr. Luke refers to what was a New York Supreme Court lawsuit in which music producer Dr. Luke sued singer Kesha and her mother, Pebe Sebert, for defamation and breach of contract.
Jerry Seinfeld has always been a douchebag. Not surprising. I've watched his show comedians in cars getting coffee, and I'm always shocked with how rude he is to some of his guests.

He's really pretty pompous in real life. Plenty of people with more fame are less self-special. But whatever who cares, he's old news.
It's incredibly difficult to prove rape, especially in a situation like this, but that doesn't make it untrue. And I don't really understand why you think she would lie about it, considering it's essentially made her life very difficult and put her career on hold, if not ended it completely. She was desperately trying to get out of a contract with him even though it was successful. To me, that really implies something happened.

They think she lied because Reddit believes a hugely disproportionate amount of rape accusations are false because it is one of the very few places that women are given more credit than men and it terrifies them. But none of this actually matters because it was a shitty rape joke that people are still trying to defend because they are really fucking stupid.
No, we believe there should be due process. If someone is accused of rape, it doesn't mean anything until they are convicted of it. Innocent until proven guilty is a thing. He may have done it, and if he gets convicted then I will agree he's a piece of shit.

Are you stupid or just trolling? The joke is pretty damn clear. There's not much room for interpretation. It was a joke about seinfeld's ice cold denial being more damaging than her alleged rape by her manager.
Clearly the only troll here is you. The allegations against the manager were sexual, physical and psychological abuse as well as a shitty restrictive contract. If you take rape from all that and focus specifically on that, that's your interpretation but you are incredibly wrong.
So your joke was that he destroyed her in many ways including rape but somehow it's not a rape joke... alright man whatever you wanna tell yourself. If you're gonna make edgelord jokes you can at least own up to them.
Yeah, it wasn't a rape joke. To joke Jerry Seinfeld emotionally destroyed Kesha more than her manager did is in no way a rape joke. It was a very hyperbolic way of saying Seinfeld was brutal.
The reference of the joke is that she is more emotionally damaged by this than the alleged rape by her manager. The joke references the rape allegation. How does the joke not reference rape? What other emotional damage done by her manager could the joke be referring to?
I didn't say the joke didn't reference rape (though it can easily be argued that it didn't, bc her manager fucked her in more ways than just literally), but it wasn't centered around rape. Just because something is referenced doesn't make the joke about that.
I really don't care. I hope it was a rape joke. Bc at the end of the day, it was just a joke. And anyone who gets upset by it is emotionally unintelligent.
The whole alleged situation. The psychological, physical and sexual abuse and the unreasonable contract she alleges against the accused. None of which has been proven in court. Please jump straight to rape though...

You just supported shaming a person for being accused a rape then shifted the goal post to "caring about social issues" after being called out so you could falsely attempt to gain the moral high ground in argument.

First, I never supported shaming the manager, so you just made that up.
I didn't shift the goalposts, the other poster brought up sjw, and I pointed out that it isnt an insult to me, because I'm not an idiot. So you're wrong about that point.
The whole thing about the moral high ground is hilarious. As if I'd ever have to prove moral superiority over people making rape jokes?
And yes I do believe in the wage Gap and the that there are many sexual assaults on college campuses because that's what the most qualified sociologists I've encountered believe, and they provide good evidence.
Also I'm in mensa, so I am pretty fucking smart, but more importantly I'm not swayed by pseudo profound bullshit, I usually don't bring that up, but you brought it to this point.

Except that I provided you the link with an actual video attached to it. This is not an opinion piece or analysis that I'm trying to impart. I posted the link to the actual deposition where it proves Kesha lied afterwards. The reason why it's TMZ is because they're the ones who got a hold of this tape in the first place and they're the original source.
The fact is that you immediately tried to discredit the source without even checking to see what was in it despite claiming you were "open to new info", so excuse me if I'm not impressed by your sanctimonious guilt trip act, as if me correctly calling you out for that is unreasonable.

It's weird when you come from a family where you don't hug or kiss on the cheek as a greeting and then dealing with another person or family that does just that in daily practice.

I'd have to see yours.
Someone who spends too much time playing video games and shoving Cheetos in their face before washing it down with Mountain Dew probably isn't Captain Hygiene.
He recognizes that she screwed up by interrupting an interview and responded appropriately.
Jerry is self-preservation incarnate and has likely considered more social faux pas in his life than anyone else on TV. He knew exactly how to react to her and maximize the laughs.

It could be that he's wearing a suit that costs more than her jewelry collection and took one look at that glitter-covered jacket she had on and said to himself, no fucking way is that glitter bomb touching this suit.
Watching Comedians in Cars Getting Coffee and seeing how he interacts with passersby or other motorists, it seems like Jerry Seinfeld can be the biggest asshole in the world to other people but everybody thinks it's a bit and nobody is ever offended.
He's on the transcendental meditation bandwagon. I used to like Lynch but if you ever really look into transcendental meditation they want an arm and a leg...

Kesha lives in her own world where, when someone's giving an interview, its totally acceptable to interrupt for a selfie. The fact Seinfeld doesn't know who she is destroyed her ego, i love it, shes not used to not getting what she wants.
I don't blame him. Kesha looks like the kind of broad you smell before you meet. The sort that cuts right through beer goggles and triggers survival instincts.

If I remember correctly Jerry is a Germophobe. I don't really blame him for his actions. Some people just don't want to touch others.
Maybe Jerry did know about her pending law suit and was like, "ain't gonna get me."

Seinfeld is somewhat of a germophobe if I recall correctly. Sort of like Howie Mandel. This may explain his reluctance to allow a stranger to touch him. Me, personally...I'd have probably let it happen unless the person looked like they had poor hygiene.

I am jealous of how up front he is, I could have done that and spend the rest of my life beating myself up about it. Not because I didnt hug her but because I would have felt like a dick.

This is exactly the sort of stuff Jerry doesent like.
Whenever i see interviews with Jerry and he is asked about fan interactions on the street, he says he doesent like it when people walk up to him and just starts talking to him. and that he especially doesent like physical contact from random strangers.
I don't know whats more brutal. The fact that he turned her down or how hard he laughs after doing it. All I know is he made the right choice in that situation.
OMG! I remember this happened to me exactly the same way. I went up to Jerry and asked for a hug and he rejected me too. Then I woke up and my story went nowhere.
Yeah, I know it's been said already and will be down voted, but if this was someone Reddit didn't love immensely the "what a dick" comments would be up top. Imagine if someone wanted a hug from like Hillary Clinton and all she did was go "No, No thanks, No thanks."
Do you hug everyone who asks you for one? If a total stranger walked up to you would you hug them? If yes then good for you but not everyone is so interested in personal contact.
If I was famous and rich and beloved, yeah I would. And yaknow what, yeah I would now too. It's a hug. Not like I'm gonna catch HIV because of it.
I hate this mentality that "famous people are just like us" because, at least IMO, no they aren't. They picked acting, comedy, music, whatever. They know they're well known and beloved. I'm not saying that they should have no privacy but if they're out in public, especially at an event, yeah give a fucking hug.
Kesha allegedly was raped but doesn't understand the meaning of no or that you shouldn't just lick strangers' faces without their permission. So strange.

I said the same fucking thing. Everyone is getting pissy because he turned her down yet Trump is an asshat for doing the exact same thing she did. I dont hug fools I don't know either.
It would be funny if he knew who she was and still rejected her. With that said, the fact that he didn't know who she was is funny in its own right as it shows that she doesn't have the fame necessary to go hug him.
It's the figurative difference between a millionaire and billionaire. Jerry is just at a whole other level where he doesn't have to put up with anything he doesn't want to.

I always read on here that Jerry is one of the biggest dicks when it comes to celebrities - which is always disappointing to read considering how down to earth he was on Seinfeld.
I have no idea who Kesha is either, but am I the only one even thinking about whether she is attractive or not? I mean I was reading the comments here and the issue is not even raised. I tend to assume that for most guys there is a big difference between receiving a hug from a woman you think is extraordinarily beautiful and one you think is ugly or gross etc. It is hard for me to imagine refusing a hug from a very beautiful girl, but I would not want to be touched by ugly women or men. But hey maybe it's just me.
That's really bad.
So if someone asks you for directions will you only help those you find attractive?
This is really bad.
You are treating people differently based solely on whether you are attracted to them or not.
Where the people around him expect him to follow the social norms ( like just giving a hug even if you don't want to ) and he reacts just like he would in Seinfeld... n-no thanks. No N-No thanks. Then just shakes his head short and fast.
Does Jerry Seinfeld seem like a stop and hugger to you? Even if he knew who you were? And she interrupted him. They could make an entire episode of Curb about this. But a 63 year old man not knowing who someone half his age is, is totally understandable. Poor Kesha, though. Hasn't she been through enough? Hasn't even released anything new since her debut years ago.
Only people under 25 would know. I'm 32 And I could tell you I heard the name but couldn't place a face. Now Jerry, his age plus fame times money, increase the ego and BAM. What are we talking about..
Honestly I thought this would be really funny but she totally has this, "but you're my favorite actor" look on her face and that made me feel really bad for her.
If she was a really big fan I think she would know to expect that reaction.
On another note, this kind of reminded me of the Seinfeld episode where that woman kisses Jerry hello every time they see each other. Jerry tries to find a way out of the kiss hello during the episode, and he eventually does. I think in his personal life those kinds of acts of affection are things he tries to avoid happening to him, so that whenever he sees that person in the future, there is no chance he'll have to go through that kiss hello or in this case, a hug with Kesha each time.

We once hooked up Jerry with some chick, he had no problem giving her a hug.
Had the luxury of seeing him live Sunday at Colossal Clusterfest. Some things never change. He's still the same old Jerry and his material just felt classic. A lot of people think he's a prick but I just think it's honesty. We could use summore guys like Seinfeld.

He might be a jerk but he's a lovable jerk. Somehow Jerry saying these kind of things are OK. I imagine many other celebs would be vilified for some of the stuff he says.
Hmm... I didn't take a picture of me doing this... I worked at very trendy hotel in LA and managed most of the operations during the night. I met countless celebrities... She was nice, but using her celebrity wasn't going to really help that night. It was too busy and hectic and she caught me at the wrong time. She still made it inside, but probably from one of the security guys.

The appropriate way to approach Seinfeld for a hug would be to gesture awkwardly as if you're unsure of which way you're going to go in for the hug and then settle for finger guns and a smile like a freaking civilized person would.
I wouldn't even know who Kesha out in public was unless she announces herself to everyone like she did here.

Jer-bear here has described himself as "being on a spectrum" (in reference to autism) so maybe he just doesn't like it when people just try to hug him. seems like an any day run of the mill awkward encounter just with famous people
Could you imagine however? For him this happens constantly, just the fact that he gave his time, (which is the most valuable currency we all have) to a complete stranger is a big gesture. I'd not like to be famous for that reason.

totally. It would be fun sometimes. But, everyone is in different moods at different times so sometimes you would not be into it.
In all fairness to both celebrities, musicians and comedians mix like oil and water. I won't say they hate each other, but a lot of times they can be in competition for stage time. Not these two, I get that... My only real interaction with celebrities was sitting in a bar after a concert and all the members of Seether walked in. They were cool as frozen hell, bought shots, talked to us for a couple hours, and genuinely surprised me. I've also walked past Mike Epps in downtown Indy and he didn't look at me so I just walked on. Indy 500... Now there's a people watching event.

So famous people will only hug other famous people. If this were an episode of Seinfeld he'd spend the rest of the 22 minutes trying to explain his totally reasonable behavior to everyone he meets (I was already being trap-talked by a non-famous person about sleep for some reason--How was I supposed to know she was a celebrity with all that hair in her face?) Hilarious consequences ensue, and for because good things happen to bad people, Steve Bannon gets paid royalties. We're living in an alternate universe.

Stuff like this is the reason I don't initiate physical contact with anyone I'm not familiar with. It's probably extra humiliating that this is caught on camera with an interviewer.
Even if I don't go around hugging strangers I'd probably just give a half-hearted pity hug if I were in this situation.

Grab your pitchforks, folks! Jerry Seinfeld won't hug his fans.
Understandable considering the circumstances. I would understand her even if he knew her and she wasnt interrupting, she looks like a glamorous hobo...
I saw him live doing standup. He had a Q&A afterwards, and some drunk lady in the crowd kept pestering him for a hug. He kinda responded in a similar manner to how he did in this video. Eventually, he just ignored her.
Some people really don't like being touched. Jerry might be one of them.
Her music is absolute shit. I can see the charm in some of today's pop music but her's is special in the worst way.

To be fair to Jerry, if you know the guy then waving hello & him acknowledging is a win. To be fair to Kesha, even if you know the above you prolly expect being celebrities at the same event buys you a hug
Kesha Rose Sebert (/หkษสษ roสz หsษbษrt/ KESH-ษ ROHZ SEB-ษrt; born March 1, 1987; formerly stylized as Ke$ha) is an American singer, songwriter, and rapper. In 2005, at age 18, Kesha was signed to producer Dr. Luke's label Kemosabe Records. Her breakthrough came in early 2009 after appearing on American rapper Flo Rida's number-one single "Right Round".
That's Seinfeld though. Upstanding character. Hard worker. Intelligent investor. Rich as fuck.
He probably has to say no to people trying to touch him or hug him all the time. He is the most successful actor ever. I know I'd love to shake his hand, introduce my self, and tell him I love his work. He has to get that shit all the time.

Coyrex1 ยท 1 points ยท Posted at 04:27:54 on June 11, 2017 ยท (Permalink)
God damn that was hilarious. "Oh, ok. I wish here the best"
This isn't funny, but neither was his show. But laugh it off cuz he's worth a bil. The coolest thing about him is his Porsche collection.
Hopefully he doesn't choke on his spit laughing at someone else's rejection. There's a way to handle things with tact, being smug about it doesn't make it comedy.
How is this surprising? He's sort of morphed into an asshole, or he always was one and I had never noticed. After enough comedians in cars getting coffee I started to see how he treated wait staff at these locations and the comedians he was talking with directly (Jim Gaff's episode for example).
He's just put on that wealthy older man persona who talks down to people as if they're below him as humans. He's not a class act like others in his circle. It's unfortunate, with all that opportunity and money he has the potential to be a better person.
FYI: It didn't matter that it was Kesha. I don't think he's into hugs in general, or at least I don't get a "warm vibe" from him.
Oh, of course not. He was well within his rights not to have random folks rubbing up against him. I wanted to point out that this isn't an isolated thing, he's generally kind of jerk.
Clearly doing an interview, deliberately interrupting an interview for a hug is a dick move. I'd say it's pretty fair to refuse a hug in that situation

Uh, lots of people don't enjoy having strangers hug them.
What an ass. So what if he didn't know her, there was no danger....she wasn't a threat. Does he owe her a hug? No. Was it a simple gesture that would've cost him nothing and given her some joy or satisfaction?...absolutely. Jerry Seinfeld's true colors right there ladies and gentlemen.
Some people don't like bodily contact with strangers. Jerry is one of those people. So yes it would cost him something. It's not fair to INSIST on violating someone's request for a little personal space.

I mean, I don't like kesha, and I find him funny. But I'm not just gonna be cool with moody asshole behaviour, he looked right down his nose at her, really pissed me off watching this.
damn this would have crushed me. it's kind of fucked up - i mean it a stranger asked you for a hug wouldn't you accept?
i met JB Smoove today and was the nicest fucking dude ever -- he was shaking hands with everyone who came up to him. when i bumped in to him he could tell i was nervous but made me feel comfortable and was super appreciative and sincere for being recognized/being a fan of curb
Time for my top cringe story to come out in the open.
On a family holiday stop off in Las Vegas a fair while ago, and we thought we'd stomp around the casinos a bit, see the sights. Whilst going through the lobby of Caeser's Palace, my dad recognised a famous bloke (no idea who the guy was) and asked if I could have a picture with him (very out of character as my dad was in the business and usually left talent alone). Jerry replies "sure, ok", and having only ever had my pictures taken with lower level soccer players, I thought the done thing would be to put my arm around him, like we'd known each other our whole lives. There were audible gasps. So Jerry Seinfeld is stood there being boy-handled by a sweaty ginger english boy from Reading whilst dad awkwardly wrestles a very basic nikon point and shoot bought the day before. After the experience, Jerry was very quickly whisked through a side door, probably to burn his suit, and I was still more or less oblivious as to what had just happened.
"Lets see the picture Dad".
"...... sorry Will, I pressed the power button by mistake."
What the fuck is this post? I bet you are a skinhead nazi .

my theory is that Jerry's ultimate fear is to be truly outwitted/embarrassed/caught off-guard; especially by a non-celebrity. He hates to be the one that gets "got". This fear was born out of the intense anonymous hate that fame brings; he not only built armor against that hate but put spikes on the armor. Refusing to hug is one of those spikes. anyway just a theory i dont know the guy

I had a coworker in tv, nicest sweetest guy in the world, that worked with Jerry in the late nineties. Said he was an absolute horrible person. Coming from the nicest guy I know that would never speak ill of someone, says a lot.
That's why they call it "fuck you" money. Jerry doesn't have to worry about making any new friends if he doesn't want to, even if they are so-called "celebrities."
Jerry: "Well if I knew that I knew her, I probably would have just hugged her".
Elaine: "Who do you maybe think it was?"
Jerry: "That girl... I was dating a couple of weeks ago..."
George: "Mulva"
Elaine: "Mulva? You mean the woman that looks like Kesha?"
Jerry, looking humorously perplexed and shrugging his shoulders: "Who is this Kesha?"
Kramer: "I can't believe you turned down Kesha. Where's your bowler hat Jerry??? You know I needed that bowler hat!"

Don't know if yall knew this, but Jerry Seinfeld is kind of an asshole. That being said, he has the kind of money where he doesn't have to care about being an asshole.
well this is more polarizing than it should be. I'm gonna go with 'hugging strangers is rude, and so is rejecting friendly gestures, but neither are really that bad.'
He's supposed to be a real jerk. He did an event at my university and one of his conditions for performing was he didn't want to see anyone between his bus and the stage.
This is what I imagine a few Hollywood stars to be like, but meaner. Jerry does say he wishes her the best and clearly doesn't like to be hugged. The laughter is a bit awkward. Kesha could have just ended it with 'love your work, have a nice day' rather than freak out.
Would he have hugged her if he knew who she was? I just assume celebrities automatically feel a kinship with one another, or at least it seems that way. But yeah she comes to him like a crazy fan lol. I mean we already know Kesha is crazy but you get the idea.
I can't really see anything wrong in the video, but she's been having a really hard time in the industry, and I'm sure that it's taking its toll on her in some way or another.
Its sad that I know this. But she was signed under a music producer that supposedly physically and mentally abused her. Calling her fat, and a refrigerator, and talking down to her to the point that she ended up becoming bulimic. Her mom entered her into a rehab facility for her bulimia after seeing how small she was getting. I guess rehab must have REALLY worked and now has gained weight after discovering how great food is with all her money available.
I saw Jerry Seinfeld at a grocery store in Los Angeles yesterday. I told him how cool it was to meet him in person, but I didnโt want to be a douche and bother him and ask him for photos or anything.
He said, โOh, like youโre doing now?โ
I was taken aback, and all I could say was โHuh?โ but he kept cutting me off and going โhuh? huh? huh?โ and closing his hand shut in front of my face. I walked away and continued with my shopping, and I heard him chuckle as I walked off. When I came to pay for my stuff up front I saw him trying to walk out the doors with like fifteen Milky Ways in his hands without paying.
The girl at the counter was very nice about it and professional, and was like โSir, you need to pay for those first.โ At first he kept pretending to be tired and not hear her, but eventually turned back around and brought them to the counter.
When she took one of the bars and started scanning it multiple times, he stopped her and told her to scan them each individually โto prevent any electrical infetterence,โ and then turned around and winked at me. I donโt even think thatโs a word. After she scanned each bar and put them in a bag and started to say the price, he kept interrupting her by yawning really loudly.

That's how people ract once they find out that you tend to sue people for rape, when you have a disagreement with them. They don't even touch you anymore, because you might sue them for rape too!

Some people value their personal space and aren't comfortable with making close physical contact with strangers, and that's perfectly fine. You're not entitled to a hug from someone who doesn't want to.
Jerry was in Madison years back. 8 or 9 at this point if I recall correctly and my girlfriend at the time was working at the hotel he was staying at. He ordered room service and she delivered to his room. An assistant of some sort answered the door and let her in to set the food down and get the room ticket signed.
Apparently Jerry stood on the other side of the room turned with his back to my ex facing the curtains. Not staring out the windows just at closed curtains in order to not have to see her or be seen.
Nice guy.

She is a girl who in reality, is only mediocre attractive, and she talks over pop songs, but they still call her a pop singer.
Oh. No, I'm not joking. She talks over music. And all of her songs are like this.
She also wears a vial of her own period blood around her neck sometimes because it gives her psychic powers, and she wears the blood of her fans sometimes, and also a necklace made from her moms placenta.
really? what if a guy just ran up to a woman doing an interview and insisted upon a hug after being told no 3 times... you would probably call him a creep wouldn't you? equality in action people
I mean I've seen random videos of other celebrities interrupting interviews on the red carpet briefly to hug each other or say hi. I didn't say it was sexist of him to not hug her or anything so I don't get where your getting the whole equality issue from.
Event though it was lame, I feel bad becase she's been through some rough shit. Google her and her dealing with the widespread sexual abuse in the music industry.

Yeah, it's probably you who needs to dig a bit deeper. I followed the story a few years back- and she just caught straight up lying.
Jerry's a pro: he saw Kesha's glitter dress, in a split second thought about how expensive his suit was, and decided on the spot that it wasn't worth the sparkles.
Jerry sienfeld is a greedy charlatan. He's hoarding medatative knowledge with howard stern called transcendental meditation, which is a basic techique that can be learned in 15 minutes, and saying that people have to pay thousands of dollars to learn something that should be taught freely and you can only learn it through his special instructors even though they didn't invent the techniques and probably learned it for free themselves. Now he's working with youtube to ban the accounts of anyone who tries to teach the simple method to the world for free to help humanity. Greedy greedy little person.
Im only speaking the truth, he's working with people and promoting ideas that are preventing other humans from freely bettering themselves and also preventing people from freely teaching others. And he's doing it for nothing but money
I've been practicing it for 15 years, and I'm just a normal dude who learned it for free. You're acting like he's one of the only people in the world who knows something (that's actually widely practiced). Anyone can go to their local library, bookstore or even Google and learn this for themselves. So what if the guy's trying to sell water to fish, or if a few idiots are actually buying it. It's not like the knowledge is actually being gatekept.
Hes the one acting like hes the only one in the world who knows the techniques and he says you have to learn from his instructors. Yet the organization he reffers you to are activly working to supress the information and banning instructional videos
Sure. But if you and I know that, then other people do, too. And I guarantee you, when people think of learning meditation techniques, they're going to Google, not some celebrity.
He'll sell a few seats to a few idiots, tops. These are the same types of people who probably bought ointments that would "cure any sickness" back in history. Barely anyone fell for it then, and they won't fall for this, either. Don't get so bent out of shape about it, it's not worth it. :)
Hey just because there are people who fall for it doesn't make them in the wrong. They are just people looking to better themselves and might be a little gullible ok, but that doesnt make it right. Its con artist like seinfeld who are in the wrong trying to scam his fellow human beings and he's still helping to prevent other people who want to freely teach others out of sheer kindness and people like seinfeld are trying to stop them? The nerve of the kind of person who does that is just plain wrong. I mean the guy is already a multi millionaire.. how greedy do you have to be to already be so rich but still participating in cons and suppress info? The greatest crime it is to prevent another person from learning freely
Sorry, but he's not worth that kind of entitlement. The Pope isn't above it, yet a standup/sitcom star is?
AlsoโI'll probably get hated for thisโbut Jerry's my least favorite part of Seinfeld.
George > Elaine > Kramer (the character not the racist standup) > Newman > George's parents > Jerry's parents > Jerry.
He is not obligated to accept hugs from complete strangers. It's entitlement to think that someone you've never met before has to interrupt an interview they're in the middle of and hug you.

I didn't say he was obligated, he wasn't respectful. She wasn't entitled, she was a fan caught in the moment of seeing him. He refused her and it made her feel weird. Not because she was Kesha. You will, of course, still argue against it and use elementary circular logic, so I don't care if you try retorting. Feel free to grab that same pitchfork.
Dude, he was in the middle of conducting an interview. And he's a known germaphobe and the entire show centers around him being neurotic. He said it three times to her. Not everyone likes hugging, some people are weird with their personal space. Show respect for peoples boundaries. Or don't, and make up some weird analogy in your head about pitchforks or something if it makes you feel better lol
Neat, glad you're able to defend Jerry Seinfeld because someone has to do it. I definitely should show respect for a millionaire's boundaries on his ostensible germaphobia. But what's the deeeaaaall with hand dryers?? They just moisten your hands until you're tired of standing there and need to wipe them on your pants! What if we just pretended to run our hands under water, would anyone really know? I would, because I'm terrified of touching people.
Right right. So instead you're defending some other millionaires' right to intrude on seinfelds personal space three times as he's in the middle of an interview. That's MUCH better. Lol you fucking fool
But you do get that all those ideas and characters came from him? So all the bits you do like ARE Jerry (and Larry David). Ever seen Jason Alexander (George) in anything else? He's pretty terrible. The character that Larry and Jerry wrote is what you love, yet you don't think he is worthy?

If I was Jerry Seinfeld I would've done the same thing, and been like "Have you seen who I've dated over the years? GTFO of here. Like seriously. No. Just no."
You must never see his cameos or real life interactions. He is a total snob. It's also not a random chick. It's Kesha. She is famous and it's good PR to be kind to your Hollywood associates. Just my two cents, but Jerry is a total snob in person. No hate.

She can't be that famous, I've heard of her but couldn't name a song or pick her out of a line-up.
Why would Seinfeld have the foggiest idea who she is?
If I wouldn't hug some random woman I had never met why would I expect him to be any different.
Famous? 'Associate'? Come on man, Seinfeld redefined TV sitcoms forever, and his show is one of the most influential of all time. I literally wouldn't know her music if I heard it.
In 20 years time his name will be remembered and I'd bet you she's going to be famous only as a footnote on Jerry's Wikipedia page for this incident.

I don't get it. Honestly, why did he not hug her back? What a smug dude.
Am I the only one who was actually supremely angered by how mean spirited this was? And more so by the idea that SO many people are celebrating it? I mean, I understand the whole "personal space" thing, but really? A quick Hug? It's not like they weren't at a big event.
That's it. I now resolve to punch Jerry Seinfeld should I ever encounter him. For no reason other than this utterly dick-ish move. :/
Can't really hold it against a guy for not wanting a random hug. He was about as polite as you can be in a situation like that. The fact the he actually backed away shows that it probably made him genuinely uncomfortable.
Fuck her...he doesn't know her, she is rudely interrupting a TV interview and she won't take no for an answer. She got what she deserved. Yes most celebrities would give her the fake hug while cursing her under their breath and let her steal a photo op. Props to Jerry for being genuine instead of fake.

People become famous literally by just being liked enough, to reject any fan seems counter productive to the ego that comes with that fame. On the red carpet thats a secure place to take a hug from someone you don't recognize. What a snob.
1.) he was in the middle of an interview and giving his attention to someone else. Its rude for her to think she can just walk up to him and interupt the interview
2.) It's not like he was being a dick about it he literally said " no thanks," not everyone likes to be touched.
3.) Not all celebs that you know, know each other. They aren't friends Kesha was being a fan girl and a really bad one at that. No celebrity wants you to run up to them and beg for a hug when you are in the middle of something else. Ill restate again, it's fucking rude
This has nothing to do with stardom or fame. Kesha was being rude as fuck
I would like to point out even the most polite celebrities interrupt eachother on red carpet interviews. Its rypically one of the only places they will see eachother. What you don't see is how often those parts get cut out of the interviews you like to watch. Did he have to hug her? No. But a handshake is polite. Many of which here have agreed with that. However I feel like you are overly emotionally involved in this. You don't like hugs we won't hug you here no problem.
This is r/videos and not r/news. Reddit accepts content for everybody and just because you don't like it doesn't mean we don't dont. I'm sure not everyone here cares that you posted about making bronze in overwatch 3 days ago but the people that did enjoy it got some enjoyment out of it.
This is a good post because it highlights exactly why I hate redditors.
Here you're trying to play it off like nobody cares about my post, least of all you, while also showing me the proverbial door, but you seem to have been so vexed by me that you went to my user page and tried to "own" me by showing the two people that upvoted your post that I'm not very good at video games.

This looks like it's at a David Lynch foundation for Transcendental Meditation event. Apparently it's super expensive to get a ticket to these events (or any TM class for that matter) to learn the secret of it, although the foundation seems keen on teaching it schools and prisons. I don't know honestly; just seems weird to me.
Sorry, I didn't catch that. If that's the case, he probably just thought she was some dirty hippie....jokes....and those are two institutions a bit more meditation could be beneficial. My guess is TM just caught on with a few more big name advocates than others, and now it's just another machine to use and abuse.
Come the fuck on. The guy would have been looked at as a 100% rapist and a pervert, and the woman a strong archetype that fought off her attacker. Instead of it being about a socially awkward jew who was mean to a fan.

I've noticed that it's generally much easier for men to say "no" and maintain a "no" when physical touch is requested multiple times. This is actually an awesome example of knowing your boundaries and protecting them.
I've always believed that when someone says "no" in response to someone else asking to touch them, it's just them taking care of and protecting themselves. It'd be cool if Kesha was like, "Cool, thanks for taking care of yourself Jerry!"
Cuz that's pretty much what happened. Yay for Seinfeld for maintaining his boundaries and Kesha for respecting them (in the end, after a couple asks)!

Jerry looked like he was in the middle of a bit and she completely interrupted it and ruined his delivery. That combined with the fact that she doesn't know who she is and I don't blame Jerry at all.
That simply means you've been doing everything in your life correctly. 27, male here. All I know is that she sings, but I have younger siblings so I get a slight pass.
Never said germaphobic. If you worked with him, then you probably didn't see him interact with many strangers. Twice I've seen him act almost identical to this video when people tried to shake his hand. You said it yourself that 'he's careful' so how is what I said not true "at all"?
Seen him interact many times with strangers. I'm operations manager at a place he does stand up a lot. I wouldn't classify him as "germaphobic" as I have never seen him refuse to shake my hand or anyone else nor is he particular about his drinks or food. He just not a huggy feely type guy . There is no fucking way he's hugging a stranger especially a trampy looking one. He's not that type and being interrupted? That would freak him the fuck out.
Is he neurotic? Yeah
Germophobe? Nah.
Sarah Silverman on the other hand...holy fuck she's hid it well.

She should do exactly this.... back away from the attempt and sincerely explain that she doesn't want her hair, body, or clothes to acquire the putrid stink of whatever person is trying to show her affection.
Jerry Sienfeld is a good guy. I am sure he meant well and probably even tracked her down to make things seem a bit less awkward. Idk I guess he was taken off gaurd, it was random.
It is cringe-worthy to watch but it looks like one of the most disgusting things walking this earth. He probably would have caught something if he hugged it.

Only in an idiot's mind is "No thanks" considered rude. Meanwhile, a woman who interrupts an interview to ask for a hug, then ignores the refusal to continue asking for a hug, then ignores again and attempts to move in for a hug anyway, is not considered rude. Yeah, you're an idiot.
Celebrities have to be careful, random people can do crazy things to get attention. He didn't know who she was, she could've just wanted a hug, but who knows..

You can read his lips saying 'I don't know who that was.' The reporter said 'that was Ke$ha.' Jerry was like 'oh, uh okay.' Lmao. What's commendable is how she reacted to rejection. I respect her not making a scene like most girls would do nowadays. Instead, she politely ducked away. Kudos Ke$ha! He should shout her out in a tweet. She looked like good people. She was just tryna show some love.

Jerry Seinfeld, along with Jack Nicholson and a few select others, make me really sad because they are becoming grumpy old men. I realize not everyone can be nice, but if you're a grumpy celebrity just stay home more often.
Brutal. What's his deal? germaphobe or just socially insane? I would find it extremely hard to interact with him IRL if he is like this (essentially his Seinfeld "character"). Like if I ever got something in my teeth, he would flip out and never talk to me again.
His Seinfeld character essentially is the real him. He's both of those things you mentioned, and doesn't care to hide it. He doesn't have too. He's richer and more successful than all of us, so we can fuck off. That's why I love him.
Actually it's just that a lot of the social things humans do he finds weird and unnecessary. Like hugging.
I think she was acting on a dare or a bet from a friend "See if you can get Jerry Seinfeld to hug you randomly"....
She is a little bit scary based on the quick glimpse of her, but I'm a horny bastard, and I would've gone in for a big hug, boob press, and maybe a butt squeeze?

Kesha is just a completely evil, liberal feminist pawn used to help the degenerative downfall of western civilization. Like Ariana Grande, she is a symbol of what is wrong with the morality of our current generation.
Yeah, but you don't just assume someone is going to interrupt their conversation (And a man doing his livelihood) for a total stranger to give them a hug...That's also a dick move.
I understand he has every right to say no to a hug but she is obviously a fan. I wonder how many of you would be like "man that's fucked up" if she wasn't famous and not hated.
I don't think any celebrity should be obligated to hug people they don't know just because they are famous. I think it is fucked up of her to put him in that position..do it off camera if you absolutely have to force yourself on someone.
So it would be completely okay if a 10 year walked walked up to a celebrity (while asking for a hug) and they celebrity says no? I mean I understand everyone is okay with this but it's a fan. I feel like if she wasn't so hated, people would be like "wow, what a douche."
I'm not saying he is or isn't but I feel like there is a double standard here. I feel like if this was Kim Kardashian saying no, people would be flipping their shit.
Well I would still say yes it's ok he is not obligated to hug your kids either. But no I don't even know who this woman is I still think that what he did was perfectly acceptable.

Rewatch the video. All I see is Jerry saying thanks for the I love you comment from Kesha, and Jerry politely refusing the hug that Kesha kept insisting he give. He was as polite as anyone can be in that situation Kesha just made it akward by being persisting.
But to Seinfeld she was just another anybody. Why would he hug a random person just because they walk up to him and demand one? Her actions were rude there, not his!
You know she wasn't rude, because you had to lie and say she "demanded" a hug. She did no such thing. She asked for one. It's a social courtesy to give a hug. That's the society we're in. If he's not comfortable, he could have just said, "I don't give hugs, but here's a handshake" or something. Instead he acted like a fucking dirtbag.
I don't know which community you live in, but there's no social courtesy to give hugs to anyone. That's no society I've ever heard of, and might be the reason why we're looking at this situation in such diametrically opposite ways.
Also, you can demand something with a question. The more you know, right? Remember, be respectful to others.
Well we're all somebody my friend! Are celebrities, by their very status, required to hug anyone attempting to hug them? And are those the only two options? Nobody or celebrity?
My point about celebrity is that there's nothing random about a person asking for a hug. And especially when you're at a social event like he was there. And no, he's not required, but it's no different than refusing to shake hands. It's going to be criticized for being rude. And rightfully so.
It's a little bit different than shaking hands. And I see interrupting a taped interview for a hug from someone you don't even know to be much more rude.
It's a red carpet interview, not a sit-down indepth interview. Jesus. Are you autistic? How the hell is it rude to come up to an icon and tell them you're a fan?
By no measure were her actions rude. His, on the other hand, were. If he doesn't like hugging, he could have just said so.
Autistic, how clever from tormunch giantlabe. Can you show me where she came up to him and told him she was a fan? It was an interview, she interrupted it. Stop making excuses to fit your narrative.
Well it ended in 94 or something. I loved it. Stuff like George slowly building a bed under his desk at work or Kramer realizing the best part of his day is the morning shower so he never leaves it. It was a show about nothing but way more interesting than other sitcoms that just fiddled over relationships.
Are you self aware? Like, do you know how dumb you are, and is every day a struggle?
Or are you just really, really ignorant to it?
You realize that the descendants of Christ and the early Christians who populated Europe after the Roman empire fell are of Jewish blood, right?

There is an entire Seinfeld episode about how Seinfeld doesn't like to hug people hello. He need's a buffer zone. Maybe she should just be aware of the people she tries to randomly hug? Or just not be a creep and try to hug strangers?

Getting all anti semitic because he didn't want to hug someone he doesn't know. So because she has her own troubles it gives her a free pass to keep pressing after he already said no?

God you lefty redditors are all the same. I'm sure the girls that are raped everyday in Somalia would beg to differ with the Syrians, it's all relative. She was raped, robbed, and taken advantage of in many ways. That's pretty fucked up, in sure you woulda drank bleach at the rape part.
I've heard many comedians say that Seinfeld is a 'Class A douche'... I finally get to see it captured on video. Though, Kesha IS Kesha and has no right approaching him like they're old chums.

What about a handshake? A "I love your work"? Some people are just not comfortable with a hug from anybody. Furthermore, he was busy with something else. She interrupts without apologising, without any grace, just demands a hug from a stranger? He's not the arsehole.
Did you watch the part where he has no idea who she is? Let's follow you around with cameras for a day and have strangers come up to hug you while you're giving an interview, see how you react, then let thousands comment on how rude you are for the people you didn't hug.

I suppose it's easy to lump everyone into "celebrity" where they are all on some sort of level-ish playing field (Obviously Sienfeld has more notoriety than Kesha in most circles)...but in reality that was just a 60 year old dude confused by some weird looking 20 something woman who wanted a hug while he's trying to work.

I have a friend who works at a club he frequents, and sometimes Jerry will be back stage complaining about something, and everybody'll start laughing, and he'll be like, no I'm serious, which just makes them laugh more. Its like he lives in his own little private comedian hell.

It's funny in the fact that as they do this piece, it parallels with Jerry Seinfeld in real life. This further proves the fact that Seinfeld, at first glance (like what you're doing right now), is a show about nothing. But upon inspection (and your own adult real world experiences), it becomes a show about everything.
That's the nice way to explain it. The crude way, which is what I use when in person, is that you actually have to be intelligent to get the humor. It isn't slapstick like shows such as Big Bang Theory, That 70s Show, or other ones that rely deeply on the canned laughter every 7 seconds.
ThisIsMeHelloYou ยท 1 points ยท Posted at 18:15:56 on July 5, 2017 ยท (Permalink)
So instead of explaining it you just say it's about everything and go on about how it's a club for smart people. If you've read any of my messages I clearly state I don't see any slights at any real human condition there isn't a sense of relatability or humanity in any of the characters they don't folly like we do they don't even make sense they're just the same one dimensional annoying characters all the time.

Something tells me you are either not American, or too young to understand the depth of the show. That's fine though. The problem with the younger audience is it becomes increasingly difficult to come back to the show and relate since so many aspects they touch on are becoming archaic.
The show isn't something you can go Google and then get the humor. Sorry bud

No it's not lol you haven't explained AT all any of this "next level maturity" humor that I think there is very little if not none of. Like for instance Big Bang Theory. Funny show, but it's fucking terrible. Take out the laugh track and I can see how it would be a mature show ridden with slights at the human condition. Seinfeld is nonsense and it's fucking annoying listening to LITERALLY every character I can't stand it I don't care how smart the show is if it's nauseating to listen to, but the show isn't smart (in my opinion).

Reminds me of when Steve Martin plays banjo. He wrote a song for Mary Steenburgen's birthday, played it for her at some huge event over a remote feed, and about halfway through, people started cracking up. He will never be taken seriously with a banjo except at bluegrass events where they get it.

That's literally how I think Seinfeld made its fame. Honestly, I don't think Jerry is funny, and I think his ENTIRE career has essentially been a rolling joke about him being funny because of how unfunny he is. I relatively recently finished Seinfeld again for the 3rd time, and at the beginning and end where he's doing his stand up, rarely is any of his jokes actually funny. But people just end up laughing because it's just Jerry. Jerry Seinfeld says the darndest things, but they're usually not funny but because it came from his mouth, it's always just like gold. Because I mean really, his comedy is essentially just stereotyping and saying normal reality things. At face value, it's not funny, but I guess the idea of someone just making a TV show calling things as they are is good.
In finishing, I'm a big fan of Seinfeld. Just not so much his stand up.

You've got a valid position, but a lot of people would disagree with you. His whole thing is that he can take something that seems in no way funny, and through clever writing and delivery make it hilarious.

I think he was just really good at exaggerating things. He made every day things a subject of discussion and then blow it out of proportion. And I guess there never really has been a similar show like that to my recollection. And it holds up to this day, because depending on your generation, many can still relate.
Hell, I can hardly go a day without doing or seeing something without referencing it to Seinfeld. And I think that was the genius behind it.

He's not as bad as people make him out to be, though. He holds his own pretty well against the rest of the cast, who by all accounts are brilliant comedic actors. He also has some great scenes later in the show when he becomes less of a straight-man and is revealed to be just as fucked up as his friends.

The thing with a polished comedian is that they are constantly running bits in their head to see what will work. When in conversation they just pull them out and use them as if they were the most natural thing in the world.

If you think pushing into someones face like Mr Bean did is acceptable to a friendly, non-forced hug instead of simply using your voice or moving backwards and saying "I don't want to hug you" that's extremely inappropriate and aggressive.

How is this even possible though? Like i get its really hard to get big in music without going through the labels but Kesha was already a big star so with the Internet and social media shouldn't shake just not need the labels anymore? Not too mention its possible to for even independent nobodies to get on every conceivable digital music store through cd baby i think it's called and if they allow nobodies with one song and probably only a handful of fans to get in so surely they'd let Kesha in? And even if they don't she could sell on her own site and through social media and probably get not only quite a few sells but since she wouldn't have to deal with a middle man she could possibly make even more money even if the sells are less.

This is ripped off of a Gallagher routine from the 80s at the latest, and it's only half the joke. Can't find it on YouTube, but the punch line is about contractions and how they're convenient, but a bunch of spelling conventions in English are inconsistent. So in the end he says it don't make

I think they would. A cute girl approaching a guy in a bar and fully validating his physical appeal? She doesn't have to catch them off-guard, just do it assertively and give them a chance to move out the way, and I think they wouldn't and they'd enjoy it.

But in this instance this guy is at work. This interview is his job and she came to his work area, licked his face in front of a client, and ran away giggling. It's not ok.
It wouldn't be ok in a bar either, imo, but you're entitled to disagree. Why a man needs his sexuality validated more than a woman does is beyond me. I know they're treated like sex objects more often, but guys don't need desperate gross shit to feel like they can attract someone.

Technically true, but he's a rock star/entertainer, and doesn't seem like the most prudish guy. There has to be a reason she's interested, it can't be a random person walking up to someone out of nowhere. That's why I said a bar, as a sort of parallel to his situation.
I'm not saying it's "ok", just describing why it's perceived differently.
You answer yourself:
A kiss isn't desperate or gross, especially one on the cheek. And no, they don't "need" it, but I think most would enjoy it.

Yet the term slut implies that a woman is morally deficient whereas studs do not deal with the same moral scrutiny.
If you want to give kudos to a guy that has a lot of sex and don't believe that a woman who has the same amount of sex deserves any that's fine. The double standard comes from women being vilified for sexual expression in a way men never are.

You're sitting here making a blind defense of every scum bag that sexually harasses woman and telling me it's society's fault. Whatever you gotta tell yourself mate but don't feed me your bullshit
polysyndetonic ยท 0 points ยท Posted at 23:03:07 on June 7, 2017 ยท (Permalink)
I'm not.I never said the behaviour was right. Do you know there is a strong correlation between poverty and crime, espeically violent crime and stealing.
Are you going to blame the poor or society?
jedi-son ยท 2 points ยท Posted at 23:08:08 on June 7, 2017 ยท (Permalink)
That is a massive straw man. Stealing helps people to survive whereas sexually harassing someone serves no purpose. Face it you're a peice of shit
polysyndetonic ยท 1 points ยท Posted at 23:13:17 on June 7, 2017 ยท (Permalink)
No.the two situations have a direct comparison. All kinds of crime increase in a situation of poverty.
Your argument is the same one conservatives make, that its all a question of personal morality...and for much the same reason.
You know that women are more valued sexually than men, and thats why men pay on dates, are more thirsty, are more desperate and expected to do most of the approaching.
If women did 90% of the approaching youd see a lot more harassment etc from them.
Now, its a bit more complex than that, but you refuse the parallel because your whole value system is built on benevolent sexism..women good men bad...except men who act better who are almost as good as women.
You are the sexist, not me.

would there be less sexual assault if women did all the approaching and all the initiating?
jedi-son ยท 1 points ยท Posted at 23:24:34 on June 7, 2017 ยท (Permalink)
First of all men don't do all the approaching. Really the the sexual norms from the 50s that you ranted about for the last 2 paragraphs don't exist anymore. If you don't realize that you're probably just shit with woman.
Second of all, no there wouldnt be. There'd still be plenty of douche bags to harass woman that weren't approaching them. But like I said man, whatever you need to believe to rationalize your actions. Seems like you're pretty experienced in defending them.
polysyndetonic ยท 1 points ยท Posted at 23:26:41 on June 7, 2017 ยท (Permalink)
That's a common reaction.Its called personalising something to derail an argument.Conservatives do this all the time, when the poor or the working class or the left complain they say you guys are just jealous, or lazy or just don't want to work.
'whatever you need to believe to rationalize your actions.'

I used to love that song in high school but somehow never noticed that line at the end. Maybe they were originally playing a shortened version that had it cut out? Idk. But shortly after I first grew out my beard, I was driving home from school one day and that song came on and I heard/noticed the beard line for the first time ever. It genuinely freaked me the fuck out.

Lots of people would react closer to Seinfeld than Slash, you just live in a fantasy land where every guy is a desperate loser with no sense of personal boundaries.

Jerry: "So I'm standing there talking to this reporter, answering his questions, you know, and this lady walks up like she knows me, and does this hugging motion!"
George: "Hugging motion? Who does that?!"
Jerry, nodding: "This lady apparently. And I'm thinking to myself Oh No, do I know this person? Is this that girl I dated last week? I can't remember her name!"
George: "Mulva, her name was Mulva. What was the hugging motion like? Was it like this?"
George comes at Jerry with open arms, just as Kramer barges into the apartment...

Kramer: puts down a live chicken "So Jerry. I hear you turned down Kesha."
Jerry and George together: "What's a Kesha?"
Kramer: gathering hats from Jerry's closet "What's a Kesha? What's a Kesha?! Wow, you're really out of touch Jerry." begins trying different hats on the chicken

Elaine enters
Elaine: "Hello boys. Uh, what's with the chicken?"
Kramer: "It's for the show tonight."
Elaine looks puzzled and brushes off the comment
Jerry: "So Elaine, what do you think about a woman just introducing herself with a hug?"
Elaine: "What kind of hug?"
Jerry: "You know, a full on hug. Both arms all the way around."
Elaine: "Do you know her?"
Jerry: "That's just it, I'm really not sure."
Elaine: "Well I think it's OK if you know her."
George: "I don't see why you're complaining. I wish more women would hug me."

Jerry: "Well if I knew that I knew her, I probably would have just hugged her".
Elaine: "Who do you maybe think it was?"
Jerry: "That girl... I was dating a couple of weeks ago..."
George: "Mulva"
Elaine: "Mulva? You mean the woman that looks like Kesha?"
Jerry, looking humorously perplexed and shrugging his shoulders: "Who is this Kesha?"
Kramer: "I can't believe you turned down Kesha. Where's your bowler hat Jerry??? You know I needed that bowler hat!"

The phone rings
Jerry: "Jerry here."
Jerry nods and mutters several "uh-huhs" then hang ups
Elaine: "Well? Who was it?"
Jerry, looking exasperated with hands in the air: "That was my new agent. He says he's booked a lunch meeting tomorrow with Kesha. Apparently she wants to work with me and thinks I'm the perfect spokesman for her new hat line."
George: "You reject a hug from Kesha and now you get to have lunch with her!?"
Kramer, with chicken still in hand: "Wait just a minute Jerry. You're saying that this Kesha has hats? Hats for your head? You've got to let me come with you to that lunch. I'll drive you."

Elaine: "Does your agent know you rejected her hug live on television?"
Jerry: "I... I don't think so. This could be very uncomfortable tomorrow"
George: "How tall is she?"
Elaine: "Maybe you could initiate a hug tomorrow, set things straight?"
Jerry: "No, not an option." Reaching for the phone "I'm calling my agent back, the meeting is off..."
George: "Off?"
Jerry: "It's OFF!"
Kramer: "Jerry, don't throw away this opportunity! This could be your big in! Your chance to finally make it! Plus you promised Little Pablo a bowler hat, and a bowler hat he shall have! Jerry, I'm begging you, don't cancel that meeting! This is KESHA we're talking about! And Little Pablo! Don't say no to Little Pablo..."

Jerry sighs and hangs up phone
Jerry: "Fine, I'll do the meeting but I'm not hugging!"
Kramer: "Aww, thanks buddy!" Waves with chicken wing
George: "So if there's no hug how are you going to greet her? Shake her hand?
Elaine: "If you rejected my hug on TV, I sure wouldn't shake your hand."
Jerry: "Yeah, I really gotta come up with something here."

I gotta learn to read the names first. Keep reading the lines in one of their voices then go back and realise, "oh it's Kramer who said that not George" then I have to read it again in Kramer's voice.
Edit: Managed to get the names switched around and sound stupid.

Kramer I could imagine accidentally meeting Trump without knowing him, having some outlandish theory or porposal, and Trump, against all odds, immediately hiring him.
He would pull George along, who has no job at the time.
I'm trying to come up with something that would lead this whole thing into chaos, but can't imagine anything crazier than what is happening irl.

Opening Act 2 - Jerry dressed in a jacket and tie getting ready to meet Kesha
George (on couch eating chips): "So did you think of something?"
Jerry: "No, not really."
George: "Really? You're just going to see what happens?"
Jerry: "Yeah, I think so.
Kramer (enters through door): "Hey, Mr. No Hug."
Jerry: "I am not Mr No Hug!"
Kramer: "Yes you are. Did you see today's paper?"
Newspaper Headline: Seinfeld Rebuffs Kesha
Jerry (reading the paper): "Mr. Seinfeld refused a hug from Kesha three times. 'Three strikes and you're out!' Kesha said. 'I can't believe Jerry! I mean he's like some sort of guy who doesn't want a hug. A Mr. No Hug.'"

Intercom buzzes
Jerry: [into intercom] "Hello?"
Elaine's voice: "It's me."
Jerry presses door buzzer
George: "Do you think chickens think about how to greet each other?"
Jerry: [sarcastic] "I don't think chickens are capable of social analysis."
Kramer: [offended] "Chickens are a lot more complex than people give them credit for."
George: "I tell you what, I don't think a chicken would reject a hug from Kesha."
Jerry: "What is so complex about a chicken? It eats, it poops, it lays eggs."
Kramer: "Oh you would be surprised Jerry. Some of these chickens, they have goals, aspirations, plans!"
Elaine: (Enters through door) "Kramer is that your chicken pooping in the lobby downstairs?"
Kramer: (spastically runs out door) "Mulva!"
Elaine: "He named his chicken Mulva?"
Jerry: "I tell you what, Mulva probably has more personality than Mulva."
George: "I wish I had aspirations."

Jerry: You know what, I'm not going to do it. I won't hug her. Why concede my dignity to these arbitrary social expectations? SUPERMAN wouldn't be asked to dole out hugs here and there for no good reason, he's got better things to do!
Elaine: You're really comparing yourself to superman?
Jerry: (Brushing her off) What is a hug anyway? Just pressing certain parts of your body against another human for an extended period of time? The more I hear about this Kaylsha - George: - Kesha
Jerry: Right, Kosher. The more I hear about this woman, the less I want to hug her. 'Brush my teeth with a bottle of Jack's?' 'Stockings ripped all up the sides, looking sick and sexified?' I don't want to be touching this glitter-covered, stocking-ripped, alcohol mouthwashing monstrosity! And you can't make me!

I hated it and did not get it at all. But I am from the Southwest US and had not traveled much. Then I moved to a big city on the East coast (Boston), lived there for 2 years and never watched it. But then after moving back to the Southwest, I stumbled onto it again and all of the sudden, I get it. Now years later, I still love it. It could be a cultural thing for you. It was for me.

so in other words, this makes your comment less credible. spot-on means what... "exactly correct?" how can you make such a judgment without even watching a full episode?!
sure, I agree that this stuff is so well-written that the sights and sounds of a genuine Seinfeld set accompany the reading of this in mind, as if I was looking back on the screenplay of an episode I'd already seen.
but still.... I venture to say you don't know what spot-on looks like in this scenario, and furthermore, watch some Seinfeld, damnit. it's amazing!

Jerry: Well that was the worst experience of my life.
George: What!
Jerry: Kesha. She wouldn't stop hugging me. Arms round me all the time.
George: You know what she was (Beat) An enveloper.
Jerry: Kesha the enVELoPER! Of course!
George: I wish someone would envelop me ...

Open Scene at the Diner. Jerry enters and Kesha, already at the restaurant, forces a hug on him, all the while he's wincing, disgustedly.
Jerry and Kesha hit it off at the meeting and he signs a contract with Kesha's hat company without really reading the terms.
Cut to Jerry's Apartment
Jerry - "Four shows per month! That's insane! I'm not doing it, no way!" Kramer - "You've got to Jerry! It's in the contract!".
In the closing scene we see Kesha reading a statement of claim where Jerry alleges she sexually assaulted him. She reluctantly lets him out of his contract with her hat company.

The phone rings Jerry: "Jerry here." Jerry nods and mutters several "uh-huhs" then hang ups Elaine: "Well? Who was it?" Jerry, looking exasperated with hands in the air: "That was my new agent. He says he's booked a lunch meeting tomorrow with Kesha. Apparently she wants to work with me and thinks I'm the perfect spokesman for her new hat line." George: "You reject a hug from Kesha and now you get to have lunch with her!?" Kramer, with chicken still in hand: "Wait just a minute Jerry. You're saying that this Kesha has hats? Hats for your head? You've got to let me come with you to that lunch. I'll drive you."

Elaine: "Maybe she's one of those 'serial huggers'? I knew this girl who'd hug anybody...random guy: hug...girl: hug...priest: hug...just hug-hug-hug all day!"
Jerry: "What's the ruling on a date hug?"
George: "Let me tell ya...I take a girl out, spend for dinner, movie, ice cream...if, at the end of the night, I see her do 'the lift' and proceeds towards me like she's Grandma giving me a good night hug..it's over...OVER, JERRY!"
Jerry: "The lift is the worst!"
Kramer (holding a bunch of grapes, chewing in mouth one-by-one): "George, you need the anti-hug."
George: "Anti-hug, you mean like 'Auntie'?"
"George: "No..no...the ANTI-hug..."
Jerry and Elaine: "Ohhh...ANTI-hug!"
Kramer: "You see, she lifts her arms like she's going in for the hug, got it?"
George: "Yeah..."
Kramer: (continuing to graphically illustrate the move): "Her arms go up and out towards you...that's when you go IN with YOUR arms, embrace her neck, go in for the kiss and ba-loop!" [pops grape in mouth].."guaranteed second date!...dig?"[winks]
George: "That's genius!...the ANTI-hug...[taps Kramer on the chest]..."You know, I'm calling back that girl from college who rejected me with a hug. Cindy..Cindy Walowski, I think that's it."
Jerry: "Cindy Walowski...college?"
George: "She was a friend of a friend, ok?" [Proceeds to flip through phone book.]

George "So what is the hug etiquette anyway?"
Jerry: "For giving or receiving?"
George: "I've always been uncomfortable receiving hugs. Always made me feel guilty, as if i don't deserve it."
Elaine "You don't deserve it George. Why would anyone hug you?"
George: "Plenty of people want to hug me. There was that guy at the airport."
Elaine: "He was with the TSA George. He wasn't hugging you, he was searching you."
George: "Well he got up very close. In fact, i thought i felt something"
Jerry: "Felt something. What do you mean you felt something?"
George: "Well you know, he was pressed up against me. I thought i felt something?"
Kramer: "You know George, these TSA agents, they don't even need to search you now, they have these machines. Xrays. Sees right through your clothes. Right through!"
George: "What do you mean? They can see you naked?"
Kramer. "Completely naked."
George: " That's not right. That can't be right. They can see everything?
Kramer: "Everything. Every tiny detail."
George: "Well that's the last time i fly."
Elaine: "So Jerry, what are you going to do about that Kesha thing?"
Jerry: "I guess I'm going to have to initiate a hug. I hope she's not a clinger."
George: "Nothing worse than a clinger".
Elaine: "Well, there's something worse than a clinger George."

Is Seinfeld just really easy to write, or has the show had such a profound effect on us that it changed our consciousness and the very way we think?
Hatredy69 ยท 15 points ยท Posted at 04:12:43 on June 7, 2017 ยท (Permalink)
I think it's very easy to write once you fully understand the characters and how they would react to situations but the charm would have to be the delivery and execution of each character.
Jerry is extremely petty and childlike while still being a decent person.
George is just rotten, selfish, dim witted and extremely prone to self-detonating schemes.
Kramer is literally anything but normal/monotonous while being extremely lucky and somehow cool with everyone.
Elaine is cold, calculating, somewhat ditzy and faintly bullyish. She tries too hard to not be a stereotype that she falls right into it sometimes.
Newman is just a literal TV villain who hates Jerry with extreme passion but in a childish way that procrastinates his life.
Mickey is a prideful, hot headed scrappy sleazebag.

what an amazing way to describe both George, and the plot to most episodes
Hatredy69 ยท 1 points ยท Posted at 13:17:34 on June 7, 2017 ยท (Permalink)
Pretty much, right? The plots to most episodes suck pretty bad but the level of delivery George has is just unparalleled. He makes the stupidest shit so damn believable. And then Jerry nearly ruins every scenes' seriousness with his constant smirking and near-busting out laughing.l that it just makes it all the funnier to watch. It reminds me of Rick and Morty when he can't even get through the stupid Two Brothers trailer without laughing his ass off.

Of course that would be amazing, but I could honestly just sit here reading made up dialogue on reddit. It's the second best thing!
It's also interesting how these scenes of the gang just hanging out in Jerry's apartment are the thing I miss the most. Who cares about the plot? This is what made Seinfeld great!

Jerry: A bowler hat? For a chicken?
George (Grabbing a jar of peanuts from Jerry's cupboard): Ptuah, Jerry, these peanuts are stale.
Jerry: Stale peanuts? Whoever heard of stale peanuts?
Kramer: Oh, I've had stale peanuts, Jerry.
Elaine (Looking at her watch): Ooh, ooh, I've got to go, I'm meeting Tom at the opera at 8:00.
George: The opera? Since when did you start going to, "the opera"?
Elaine: Since Tom got free tickets. He knows the stage manager. I figured, "What the heck," you know? A little wine at dinner, a nice romantic opera...
Jerry: Oh, yeah. What's the opera about?
Elaine: It's Les Miserables
Kramer: Oh, that's a musical, not an opera.
George (Now sitting on the couch eating the stale peanuts, and mumbling): Master of the house, doling out the charm...
Elaine: It's an opera. There's singing.
George: Ready with a handshake and an open palm...
Kramer: An opera is Italian or German. Les Mis is in English.
Elaine: French.
Kramer (snapping his finger and pointing): click Yes, but it's sung in English. Listen, Jerry, I'm going to go see if Newman has a hat. Can you watch the chicken for a few minutes?

Fidget spinners. Kramer's fidget spinners have blades so you can prune plants while you use it and he horribly disfigures a woman while demonstrating how it works
valiantfreak ยท 6 points ยท Posted at 01:21:23 on June 7, 2017 ยท (Permalink)
George tries using fidget spinners but the resultant RSI sprains every muscle in both hands and he is unable to use his hands in any way. He spends the rest of the episode pretending to type on his computer whilst doing no actual work. To cover for the lack of productiveness George prints out old reports to submit to Mr Steinbrenner.
Mr Steinbrenner is so impressed by these old reports he unexpectedly calls a shareholder meeting and George suddenly has to explain the contents of the reports he has never read. In addition, none of the shareholders has never met George so each shakes his hand as they walk in the door, causing excruciating pain.
valiantfreak ยท 3 points ยท Posted at 01:29:21 on June 7, 2017 ยท (Permalink)
One of Kramer's dangerous fidget spinners also hits Jerry in the eye and he is forced to wear an eyepatch.
Jerry is waiting in the bar before his next standup gig and to his horror Banyon joins him. Jerry explains what has happened and starts bemoaning the fact that none of his material will explain away the eye patch so Banyon offers him a plastic hook hand from the costume department and some pirate jokes to use instead.
Jerry tries the pirate jokes but they suck and nobody laughs.
Banyon is up next and makes jokes about how dangerous fidget spinners are, using Jerry as an example. The audience thinks Banyon is hilarious.

Not really. Most Seinfeld episodes have different storylines for every character. They aren't about every character's reaction to a single thing. The fun of the show is seeing the random storylines combine. That doesn't work when Jerry, George, Elaine and Kramer are all obsessed with the same thing.

INT. MONK'S DELI - DAY
George butters his toast as Jerry holds his head in his hands like an Edvard Munch painting.
GEORGE
She does what?
JERRY
(rubbing his temples)
She spells. Her name. With a dollar sign.
GEORGE
What is that, some sort of metaphor?
(to waitress)
Excuse me, darling, I think you forgot the jelly for my toast.
JERRY
A metaphor? No, it's a pseudoprofound intermingling of symbols and alphabet, is what it is. And, frankly, I don't care for it
GEORGE
Did I ever tell you what I want to name my kid?
(yelling)
Can I get some strawberry jam over here?
JERRY
Boy, you're really getting testy about your toast.
GEORGE
Ever since Marie turned me vegan I've gotten these unbelievable cravings. Donuts, muffins, toast with jelly. Ah thank you sweetheart. Marmalade.
JERRY
And you find that you're eating these sweet baked items to satisfy a new craving brought about by your sudden dietary change?
George inhales the toast spread thick with marmalade.
GEORGE
I'm spreading and consuming, baby!
KRAMER enters, joins them at the booth.
KRAMER
(to Jerry)
You know, you hurt Kesha's feelings.
JERRY
I had know idea who she was. This strange woman in a red Nudie suit comes up and tries to give me a hug. I found the whole thing offputting. Was she really upset?
KRAMER
(drinking Jerry's milkshake)
She won't come out of her treehouse.
JERRY
Of course she has a treehouse. Hey Kramer, what do you think of Georgie boy here, inhaling down sweet carbohydrates like he's canvassing for Sanders down Gingerbread Lane?
KRAMER
(looks George up and down)
You've got the Candida, buddy.
GEORGE
Candida?
KRAMER
That's right.
GEORGE
In my gut flora?
KRAMER
Oh you better believe it.
JERRY
What candida?
KRAMER
It's a fungus. It's basically rabies. George, when you die can I have your head for science?
GEORGE
A hundred bucks.
KRAMER
Giddyup.

Scene: George just got back from visiting Susans grave with her parents, George is nervous because he wore a New York Yankees Jersey. Now they're at Jerry's apartment.
George: She just walked up to you?
Jerry: Yeah
George: Who does she think she is?
Jerry: I know

It was basically a scene out of Seinfeld...except instead of a hug it was all of the women in his building going in for a kiss on the cheek. After rejecting one of them, the rest of the ladies begin to ostracize him. Amazing that he kept to his word.

Boy he really carne to hate that shit. At one of his stand up after that skit but before the whole freak out, he just couldn't hide his contempt for people yelling that out through out the show. He would actually make fun of them for it.
I find it interesting when artists grow so successful that they dislike the manner in which their material is consumed by the larger audience they were trying to reach in the first place. At least when you do commercials, it is still your choice how it's portrayed. I guess it means you are successful at least.

My wife met Joe Rogan and his wife at Disneyland while I was waiting in line with my daughter. Joe's wife asked her where she found a margarita and then my wife noticed who was standing next to this lady and she said it took every ounce of everything she had to not tell him "let me tell you something you might not know about me Joe Rogan". After it was all said and done it seemed like the right way to go about things. I think he was just trying to be there and hang out without a bunch of people hassling him.

Spent bunch of time with Joe Rogan because he's a huge gamer and I worked on Gears Of War with CliffyB and he's a mutual friend who'd geek out about getting to see what we're up to. He's super easy going, extremely smart and well read, very ADHD, loves talking about life, philosophy, neuroscience, futurology, actually he can hold a conversation on about anything. He knows more than you'd imagine when it comes to drugs and the brain and don't get him started on DMT.
He doesn't seem to care about talking about superficial/trivial/fame shit, but he's very real and one of the nicer people I've met.
Living in LA really surprises you when you realize how many of your idols are vapid, dull, neurotic or assholes when you really spend time with them. He's just a real guys guy who likes deep conversations and loves his family (so haven't seen him in a while)

My wife and I were staying at the same Disney World resort as Cobie Smulders and Taran Killam with their daughter. We saw them multiple times at the hotel and on transportation to/from Animal Kingdom and the Magic Kingdom. We're big HIMYM and MCU fans, so it was difficult not to say anything, but we didn't want to bother them on vacation, especially when running around the parks with kids can be exhausting enough on its own.

I saw Kenye and Kim Kardashian with their two kids at Disneyland and they had a whole crowd following them around, filming and taking pictures. I image it is really annoying for them when they are just trying to spend time with their kids.

I once worked at a subway sandwiches in LA like this. Celebs and porn stars would come in all the time because no one even acknowledged who they were. It was just so routine, like "Hey xzibit you want mayo and mustard". "Karupt you want white or wheat".
This was in Chatsworth, where 90% of porn was made at the time. Unlike celebrities the porn stars you could tell were just BEGGING to be noticed. I got a kick out of completely acting like I didn't notice who they were and they'd try super hard or even ask if I knew who they were and I'd be like "nah, you want jalapeรฑos on this?", but I would pronounce it like "all up in yas". Kids are dumb.

Best you can do in that scenario is greet them by name. "Good evening Mr Seinfeld", etc.
I haven't worked with many celebs, but well... a as photo lab manager I regularly printed photos for a photog who did work for Nat Geo, Presidential campaigns, Dali Lama, etc... and the usual Cheap Trick photog came in somewhat regularly.
Even then, you just can't make a fuss over the fact that you're printing the Dali Lama's portraits... Keep it professional.
FWIW, I not only knew that Cheap Trick photographer by name, but I could recognize his cologne from the dark room whenever he entered the store.

They get paid millions of dollars and go into the business knowing that fame comes with it. I'm sorry but I don't find it very logical or rational that they expect 100% for people not to acknowledge their fame. If they want to be like most of the population then they should get paid the same. I understand that they as people want to be treated as such but that's life. Doctors are constantly going to get ask medical advice, comedians asked for jokes, all the way down to retail people being asked about their company and etc.. I don't find it fair they get to the power to pick and choose when they want to be famous.

From a management point of view, you don't have to ruin someone's livelihood over it.
First of all, what is management going to do? Send Jerry a letter, "Sorry about before, we fired that guy so please come back?"
Second of all, the RATIONAL management response is a one-to-one talk with the employee about how that's not appropriate and then ensure that employee isn't around celebrities in the future.

My view on this issue is that celebrities are VERY well compensated, so them having to hear the same quotes over and over again seems to be a pretty small price to pay. Take into account that a vast majority of others are working multiple jobs and still only live paycheck to paycheck I really have no sympathy that they have to deal with what turns out to be a rather minor annoyance in the grand scheme of things.

To be fair, that's pretty standard for most dining or hospitality places.
you get them come in and for some they just appreciate not having a fuss made for them and being able to crack on.
Although TBF I worked in a somewhat rural arrea (in England terms) at the time.
One I do rememebr though was when we had Tony Robinson (Baldwick from blackadder for most people but known for many other roles) came in for a time team shoot nearby, the guys just drank a large amount of ale and were easily some of the best people to deal with. Largely because they got that straight forward dealing with.
Like we had a few that people wanted to react to, yet often it was best for business to just carry on as per normal, in passing it was maybe fine to say you enjoyed their work/ thanking them for their work, but no more than an idle thing as general chit chat.
Almost akin to having a bloke who works finance and asking them about their day. It's all phrasing and simple communication.
TBF though, we had some complete fuckups with keeping a lid on things so i could see why some places might have that rule, especially if they have a larger staff turnover.

I used to work at an ULTRA expensive hotel in Palm Beach about 4 miles from Mar a Lago, and Jerry visited our hotel frequently. Every worker at the hotel goes to 2 day training camp when they join that teaches you how to deal with celebrities (aka just treat them like everyone else, but better).
Jerry was a really nice guy, good tipper, AND he liked our concierge receptionist so much that he offered her a full time job as his personal assistant. She took it and now when he comes to visit she gets her own suite.

There is a strange line to cross and not cross with celebs. They want the freedom of anonymity when they go out so they can act like regular people, but they expect to be treated like celebrities and to adhere to every minor whim they desire. But don't ask for their autographs.

I can not lie. They are legit the most wholesome, fun, and relaxed people to watch drink several pints of ale each a night.
When working, you'd enjoy just being stood in the room keeping an eye on things as they just let off such a nice and wholesome vibe.
Even when they get back late they would be fully nice and respectful to any chance in circumstance.
I can't say anybody with them came across as rude (producers included), they were all some of the most respectful, fun, and kind people we have had.
When I was young I wanted to grow up to do their kinda stuff, sadly that never happened. Now though? I still kinda want to do it as it feels so wholesome and genuinely interesting. Meeting some of my childhood idols was far more than i expected.
So yeah, from somebody who had the pleasure of seeing them come and go when i was doing all shifts possible during break time in uni, they lived up to be every bit as wholesome, friendly, and kind as they are made out to be.
Also they never gave anything much away about their dig site, they would chat and joke about finds but never tell of the location. Deep respect for that as it would otherwise risk the site getting ruined over time

It's all how you do it. If you send an extra dish or free dessert just saying, hey thanks for stopping by, appreciate your work ;). They love it every time, if you act in any way like some teenager freaking out over The Beatles, everyone enters the cringe zone.

I worked at a hotel and we had a few celebrities stay with us. I once checked in Hulk Hogan and he was awesome.. he was taking pictures with everyone and had no problem with people coming up to him. Seeing him walk into the lobby had me a little starstruck. Another one that was pretty cool was Johnny Knoxville, he walked in at 11PM one night to check in. We looked at the reservations from that day and had no idea he was coming in later since the reservation was under his REAL name lol.

My old roommate worked at a movie theater in Chicago and was well regarded for his celebrity blindness. He'd try to upsell Harold Ramis on the popcorn size or playfully give John Cusack shit for not just getting the combo because his family didn't prepare a purchasing strategy.
Inevitably a coworker would have to explain who the person was and why they were famous.
Only time he got starstruck was when some economics academic came through. Dude's interest was an inch wide and ten miles deep.

Once you've been a celeb for a while, it would probably be delightful to be treated just like a normal person for once (provided you're still getting good service). I read a post a few weeks ago about how Matthew McConaughey's car broke down in bumfuck Ohio and a bunch of locals came out to give him a hand, they had no idea who he was and it made it that much more a wonderful experience for him, just getting to be a normal regular dude again for a few hours. He jokes that he wants to retire to that town based on how he was treated there.
I bet many celebs loved being treated like an average Joe by your good-natured friend.

Yeah redditors don't understand the places that cater to celebrities as relaxing escape live or die by their ability to filter the fan disturbance. Having an employee be the source of the noise would be pretty damning if it got out. Individually it might not sound bad but celebrities feel constantly harassed and pay good money to escape that.

My dad worked for WB Studios on the set for the Batman movie with Arnold S playing Mr Freeze. Dad drove him around all the time on the set and worked on the special effects team as well (that was my dads job). At the end of the months and months of shooting, my dad asked Arnold for his autograph for my brother who was a huge fan. Arnold turned around and told my dad to go F**k himself.
That was the day I lost all respect for that man.

Worked at a medical marijuana shop in SoCal with fairly frequent celebs; over-the-top fanboying was out of the question but a simple "Pleasure to meet you, love your work" wasn't ever ill-received.
Then again, there were also dozens of celebs I didn't even realize were famous until my coworkers told me after-the-fact so I literally just treated them like a normal person.

This is definitely a policy. Worked at Planet Hollywood, when that was actually a thing. Met Bruce Willis and his table and later that night Sly Stallone's brother, that weird one, he came in too. It was some owner's thing, they had to be there. Mr. Willis was a total gentleman, he didn't leave the tip his buddy did but it was very good. And he ordered his food himself, like a fucking person, by pointing at the pictures on the menu. Later I made a bad joke about the beer selection, remembered that he was a co-owner of the joint and I shouldn't be dissing his place. But he laughed, told me a joke about something on the menu that looked like shit too, so that was funny. Very down to earth guy. There were other celebs there that night that were acting like total shits though. Also, totally not related but funny - when our Planet Hollywood finally closed down they didn't tell us it was happening. They gave everyone two days off while the restaurant got some "remodeling" done. We show up to work and there is a piece of paper taped to the door saying the place was closed. Got my final paycheck like 6 months later right before tax season.

Tom DeLonge once came into my place of work once with his girlfriend/wife/whatever. I was working at a granite slab yard in San Diego and I was on my break on a Saturday, smoking a cigarette and playing hacky-sack with my co-worker. I was only on break because it was Saturday and Saturday was for appointments only, and we were between appointments.
When he walked in and couldn't get any help he asked if we would help him. I was a big fan of Blink-182 at the time so I knew who he was, but I was smoking and he was interrupting my hacky-sacking when we were about to break our record, so I said "sorry, I'm busy." He was all, "busy smoking and playing hacky sack?" And Inwas all "yep" and asked him if he had an appointment. He said no; he didn't know he had to make one. I told him to go to the front office and make an appointment for next Saturday, or come back on Monday and wait with the general public. He was like, "can't you just help me now; your just playing hacky-sack," which distracted me and the bag hit the ground.
I got irritated and was all, "What the fuck, man; I just told you I'm busy! Go make an appointment or come back on Monday with the general public!"
He was like, "Alright, thanks," and left.
The dude I was playing hacky with was all, "Fuck, you idiot, do you know who that was," and I was like, "Yeah... Tom from Blink, right? That's fucking cool, but what a dick for fucking up our chance to break our record."
We both thought for sure we were gonna get fired. Nope. Monday rolls around and here's Tom Delonge from Blink-182, shopping for granite slabs with the general public... He was with a different forklift crew but when he saw us he nodded hello. His girlfriend/wife/whatever sure gave me some stinkeye, though...

I've been in that scenario, and completely ignored it. Sometimes, there are people who just pop up in front of you that you've looked up to your whole life, and you have the urge to express some feelings of gratitude. I met Steven Tyler working at a high end retail outlet, and I had to go up to him and tell him how awesome I thought he was. He responded by saying how awesome he thought I was. Amazing experience.
Edit: forgot that I had Mackuly Culkin and his brothers as regulars at a Gamestop I worked at. They're great people, and shooting the shit with them as constantly as I was able to was a highlight of working there.

In Nova Scotia that's called normal reaction to celebrities.
You act normal, don't actively engage them unless serving them, then when you get home you tell all your friends and family about how you saw/served said celebrity.
Then they ask you if you said anything or got an autograph, then you reply with "well, I didn't want to bother them" and they all nod in approval.

I think it's a little different for songs, but also depends on the musician and who is covering them. Like I'm sure NiN loved that Johnny Cash covered their song, but maybe Donald Glover is getting tired of the Redbone parodies.
Speaking of Donald Glover, there's a great scene in Atlanta where a fan just starts rapping Paper Boi's own lyrics at him. I've seen this happen in person and it is just as awkward as it looks

Why not? Because if Jerry Seinfeld then went onto some sort of public channel and talked about how unprofessional and dumb someone was acting at xyz ski resort, it can totally screw that place.
SwineFluPandemic ยท 6 points ยท Posted at 00:08:46 on June 7, 2017 ยท (Permalink)
It's a ski resort, not passing someone on the street. It's a vacation, a getaway. If someone jeopardized repeat business from unarguably the most valuable class of customers I'd cut them too. I want people that know not to piss off celebrities.
I wouldn't, as an employee, go up to Bill Clinton and start pantomiming saxophone... because I know stuff.

Is It? How many times do you think he's heard that? Or other one liners from Seinfield? The man probably has a complex about ordering entree's because if he orders anything other than soup he's setting himself up for that line. Not to mention the countless other food references from the show you could throw at him.
When he pays top-dollar to stay at a resort, he's not paying for a comfy bed, or a pool, or room services - he's undoubtably got all that at home. He's paying top dollar because he wants to take his family skiing and be left alone, to not have slobbering fans badly quote him, or ask for autographs, or try and hug him. He's paying top dollar to be ignored so he can be with his family.
Then some jackass waiter comes up to him and says that.. I'd complain too.

Yep. Just look at any retail or customer service sub here. Filled with people practically bashing their head into cement over lame "HAHA, IT DIDN'T RING UP - GUESS IT'S FREE" shit that you hear from customers on the reg. Now imagine people doing that when you're aren't even on the job and you're not being paid and you're VACATIONING.

not really, its pretty un-professional to do. those in the service industry should know its impolite. People dont go out and pay money to have to do a song and dance for you or laugh at your jokes just because your famous. If they are nice and in a good mood then they will strike up a conversation with you

i've worked in hospitality for years, that is definitely somethin you shouldn't do. if they're checking out/leaving the restaurant, maybe a quick hey, love your work, hope everything was good, have a great night. firing might be severe, but i'd imagine this wasn't their first issue with management either.
you're there to serve. that's your job. you aren't there to make a spectacle of someone that is paying your employer to provide them with some sort of comfort/luxury/etc.
imagine if you went on a weekend getaway and a complete stranger walked up wanting to talk about what you do for work. hell fucking no.

Not really the point of their conversation, but okay. No one said it isn't work. But being a student is in no way comparable to working a customer service job. It doesn't mean one is "better" or "worse" - or that one is harder - just that they're not the same.
Hence the relatively high amount of nonspecialized college graduates (so, degrees that don't lead to a specific job) who are losing job opportunities to people with work experience instead of a degree.

Sure, most folks are nice about it and will oblige but there's a level of intrusion that never goes away.

I would honestly feel the same way. I do a lot of creative things but I do them for only two reasons, for myself and for my job (which is still for me, but different and less important). When it comes to what I feel is important in life; (1) The pleasure of doing what I'm doing (2) My Job (3) Dealing with literally everything else except for... (4) The expectations of others.
He's human and has the right not to fake excitement at meeting strangers who like him. Not everyone is that way, but when they are, let them be. They're not dicks, they're just strangers who make something you enjoy.

Uncle's friend's son was an electrician. We'll call him Kevin. Kevin's boss tells him one morning, "Kevin, today you're going to a famous guy's house. Don't look at or acknowledge him if you see him. He is very private." Kevin goes to job and is working outside the garage. He hears a car pull up into the driveway, car door open and close, and footsteps walk up the tile driveway. Tempted and fighting against his will, he turns around. It's Kobe Bryant. Kevin goes "hey" and nods. the mamba raises his hand and nods. And walks inside. A week later, Kevin is fired.

One time a guy that looked strikingly like Gary Coleman came in and started working at the same place as me, a call center. The next day, he wasn't there, and we had an office wide meeting about how he WAS Gary Coleman, and that we can NOT say "what'chu talkin' 'bout willis?" and we weren't to talk to him unless it was just regular conversation IF he is sitting next to you... and to try to not start conversation, just let him be.
I was tempted to go find a t-shirt that said the phrase on it, but just as quickly as he came, he was gone. He quit within a week.

I had to google her to see who she was, I went and listened to some of her work. I judged it to be ignorant pop music. That you can bob your head to it but when you listen to the lyrics realize it only champions greed, materialism and commercialism. she released a couple albums years ago and hasn't produced anything new in 5 years. I owe her about as much recognition as Seinfeld. "she's kesha" - "oh".

The problem is that not everything in a comedy is laugh-out-loud funny. Some things deserve a chuckle, others are weird setups to jokes, and some things just barely make you smile. But some shows take all of these and put a roar of laughter them.

Watching a few seasons of Seinfeld should be a mandatory coming-of-age ritual for young adults in America..

If I saw him in person (and if I had the stones) I'd probably say "hey Jerry love your work" or something to that effect and then leave him alone. Asking for a full body handshake is setting yourself up for failure.
Also, is anyone surprised he's never heard of her? Like nothing against Kesha but I cannot think of anything less Seinfeld than Tik Tok

At first I really kind of thought Seinfeld was a jerk for this (I have never been a fan of the show, come at me reddit), but once I thought about it some more, it really makes more sense to turn her down. He's on camera, who knows what kind of silly-ass game she's playing, especially if he doesn't know her. Probably just an innocent hug, but maybe it's a setup for an internet meme of some kind, he has no idea. Better to look like a jerk than step in shit, so to speak.

That assumes that the picture accurately represents her weight. Pictures can make a person look better or worse (and skinnier or fatter) than they look in real life.
You can look at her (nsfw) instagram for a variety of pictures. Some show her around the same as in the picture above, some show her a lot better.

No, not on purpose at least. It's a '70s muscle car, and the vents are almost wide open, especially the ones near the windshield. There was like a half inch layer of glitter on everything inside the car, so I'm sure a bunch of glitter got into the vents. We're slowly restoring the car, so hopefully it'll all be out by the time we're done lol

1976 Pontiac Firebird Trans Am! This is the first time we've ever restored a car as well, and it has a lot of sentimental value for me since it was my first car. It was actually in great shape when we first got it in 2006. It sat in a garage for ten years before we got it, and had no issues driving it from California to Oklahoma. It's been a fun little project over the years.

Hello, fellow Pontiac enthusiast! Trans Ams are awesome! I'd love to see a pic. My project is a 1993 Bonneville. I got it in college and it was my first "nice" car. I've had it for 20 years now, but she's been resting in my garage for maybe 7 years or so. My daily driver is a silver 2004 Grand Prix GTP, supercharged. Nothing fancy, but it's a lot of fun to drive and I really like it.

Yeah, it's pretty easy for actors to not get noticed in crowded cities like NY. People can't process all of the faces around them and unless they look exactly like they usually do on TV and are looking right at you, odds are the vast majority would not recognize them, the rest would think you looked like that celebrity but couldn't possibly be them. Of course if they have bodyguard looking people around them or someone filming them or taking their photos, then people will know it's got to be someone famous and then try to figure out who.

Some friends and I met Kesha backstage at an EODM show and had no idea it was her, even asked her what her name was. She was so nice about it and introduced herself to all of us, asked what our names were, shot the shit and smoked a J. I've never been into her music, but from that encounter she seemed like a real cool girl

The man has a very large collection of porsches I think if he can distinguish porsches from each other he can do the same with humans. (I am trying to make a joke because 911s all look the same, not to me but most people who aren't porsche nerds.)

On a red carpet, live on air, I'd probably hug anyone just to avoid looking socially awkward. They're obviously someone who's been allowed on there.
(Also, I feel like fictional jerry seinfeld would have given the hug to avoid social awkwardness. )

I think he would probably find even that little interaction annoying. He just wants to go about his day.
One of my proudest moments of my city was when Robin Williams came to town to shoot something and he entered the same Starbucks I happened to be in on the main strip. Everyone recognized him, everyone noticed he came in, and everyone left him in peace while he had a friendly conversation with the baristas for a few moments before leaving.
I'm sure he knew he would have been free to join any table in that coffee shop, but he just wanted to get a coffee and be on his way.

Many years ago, ran into Danny Glover during lunch. The friends who were with us completely freaked out, started pointing fingers at Danny, and kept trying to take pictures.
Eventually, Danny Glover comes over, asks my friends to please get a grip on reality and finish their lunch. He promised, if they let him finish his lunch in peace, he'll take a picture with us later.
And true to his word, when we were about to walk out, he joins us outside, grabs our camera and hands it to a random passer-by, so that we'd get a nice group picture. Super cool guy! He truly went above and beyond despite my friends having been so obnoxious.

No but you're also very famous and well known. Part of that involves interacting with fans everywhere you go and you should honestly try to be nice to all of them even if it is the 100th time you said hi that day. After all they're the reason you're famous.

I don't think Jerry came off as rude or anything in this case. I mean, he said "No thanks". Twice.
No one should have to be hugged if they don't want to, even if they are famous.
I don't think "Nothanks" would be most people's reaction to someone you don't know wanting to hug you while your talking to someone when "Fuckoff" is right there begging to be used.

Yes, famous for doing a job. However, it'd be more polite of a mind-set to have when they are "off the clock". There is no obligation to "entertain" when out grocery shopping, or simply out in public trying to live one's life. Immediately afterwards at, say, a movie premier, a concert they gave, a theatre production they were in, or sporting event....that would be the more appropriate and preferable time to approach with a quick and brief acknowledgement of fandom. Otherwise, eye contact and a quick nod/smile will suffice. (I know someone who is a Hollywood agent for some big names, and he's told some horror stories of people's wackadoo expectations when they are confronted with the opportunity to "glomp" his clients.)

I remember reading that one of the most annoying / creepiest things for celebrities is the way people approach them and call them by name and act almost like an acquaintance, while that person to the celebrity is a total stranger.
It's weird because to the average person, a celebrity does feel like someone they've known for a long time. It can be easy to lose sight of the fact that we're all strangers to them and how uncomfortable it can be to interact with a stranger at all, much less one who seems to know you.

That's so awesome that everyone left him alone. It's so annoying when people post those "Guess who I found at the grocery store pics?!?!?!" of them with a celebrity and you can just tell they hate their life everytime they get asked for a picture.

Well this was back in the day when cell phones had shitty cameras and facebook didn't exist. Celebrity culture and paparazzi did though. Actually it was shortly after the term "paparazzi" became common. So it would have been much more likely for someone to ask him for an autograph than anything else.
Although a bunch of overly excited tween girls did mob him for a second as he was leaving and got a picture (with an actual camera) with him.
Seriously though, it was amazing he was being left alone as much as he was. This was literally the major intersection in the major upscale shopping district on a weekend night in Vancouver and there were hundreds of young people walking about.

I would never ever try to disrupt someone I look up to with that amount of fame. Its an everyday thing for them even if its an one in a million thing for you. I think at most you make eye contact and wave, I am sure they know that you recognize them. Or maybe MAYBE even wait for a super appropriate time (not in the bathroom you cretins) walk up say excuse me I love your work, shake their hand and let them be on their way.

Lol this totally reminds me of a time I made eye contact for a second with someone in an airport public bathroom, we were both standing using the wall urinals. Anyway so I go back to peeing and I'm watching where I'm aiming and just blurted out "oh it's fucking Magneto" when I realized who was next to me. Hugh Jackman is his name I think? It was cool and not awkward though. He laughed, I laughed, but please don't let this distract you from the fact that in 1998, The Undertaker threw Mankind off Hell In A Cell, and plummeted 16 ft through an announcer's table.

If I exhaust every option and there's nothing else I can try, and it isn't likely to ever get better, I don't want to be alive anymore.

Being content with who you are probably helps. And that's probably Seinfeld's excuse.
Another excellent excuse is being face-blind :-) With a few notable exceptions I simply cannot tell celebrities apart. That makes it incredibly easy to simply not give a crap about the personality cult that most people have for their stars.
As much as I hate being face-blind when interacting with peers, I feel it is extremely liberating to simply not care at all about so-called famous people.
N.b. Seinfeld is in fact one of the few celebrities who I would recognize. He is sufficiently distinct in both appearance and mannerism that even I can't help but notice. I still can't be bothered to get excited about him, though.

I work at a movie theater and he came in once for a private screening of something while he was in town. Some of our owners and CEOs came by to meet him and one of our CEOs gave him a bucket of popcorn with a bunch of boxes of Junior Mints in it...trying to be funny, I guess. After they all dispersed, Jerry came over to where an employee and I were standing and said "I don't want this...do you want it?" and handed us the bucket. We laughed and said we don't but we'll take it from you. He seemed nice but not overly friendly...it was a funny though.

My friend ran into him in times square a few years back. They both saw each other and she says he had that look like, shit I've been recognised and this person is going to say something. Which she tried to but couldn't form any words. He just stared for a bit and walked off. Hilariously embarrassing for her.

First of all, sorry I didn't reply when it was relevant, my inbox was a little crazy that day. I've read the comments over a couple times and here's what I think happened - you read my comment as:
When what I actually wrote was:
If I'd said the former then yes, my comment would've made no sense. I'd be contradicting myself by saying I was 'surprised he'd never heard of Kesha' and then following it up with 'she's the absolute opposite of Seinfeld' in the same breath.
I was asking the thread if they were surprised by the fact he didn't know who she was, implying that it wasn't a shock to me at all. I hope this helped!

Offer your name. I hear this from a lot of celebrities, they find it weird how everybody knows their name but don't offer up their own name, and it makes for a one-way exchange. From what I've been told from celebrities, the best thing you can say is "Hey Mr Seinfeld, my name's Omar and I love your work".

I saw him at the Massapequa Diner (later found out it was the end point of his drive across america in a VW van, or something). I just noticed him, thought "Hey! It's Jerry Seinfeld!" and let him eat his lunch.
To be fair, I did meet him when he came to my High School and met with the class. It was after a season of his show, before it got really popular and I hadn't seen it, yet, but knew who he was. Have a signed photo from that day around here somewhere...

Jerry came by my cubicle and sat down on a nearby armchair and asked me what I was working on. He was being friendly and curious during the production of the Bee Movie. Unfortunately I was working on really boring stuff and I told him I was painting dirt and rocks for an environment. It sucked the enthusiasm right out of him. He sorta just gathered his strength and left.

THat's what I always think when I imagine what I would do if I met a famous person that I love and/or respect.
So far the only famous person I've ever seen irl was Brian Posehn, he came in and got pizza while I was working and I thought about saying something but instead I just stared at him awkwardly the whole time he was in line.
At first I wasn't sure it was him so I searched him on my phone and sure enough he had just finished a show at a venue a block away. In the end I put myself in his shoes and figured being bothered by the pizza guy is the last thing he would want, he probably gets sick of people treating him like a famous person all the time, that's how I would feel.

That's the best thing to remember if you see a celebrity/tv personality/sports dude.
It's applicable to pretty much every scenario and you come off like a normal human being. "I love your work" is a great thing to remember. Remembering it prevents the awkward, "Hey man, you're awesome. I love you!"

Because people would like to interact with their idol and it's most likely a once in a lifetime chance to ask questions or tell them how they feel? Not to mention that it makes them feel special because it's an experience not everyone can have?

I obviously know that this is the justification for it, but itโs selfish. How do you know that the celebrity wants to give you their attention at that exact moment? Thatโs not something you should just assume. It may be once in a lifetime for you but it happens to them everywhere they go and can become exhausting.

Because you're FAMOUS. Like jerry said (who does not like it most of the time), "Its part of my job" to which the interviewer responds, "the alternative is nobody knows who you are." If you don't like that stuff so much then you're not gonna be famous.

Yeah they accept it but most celebrities are probably still going to be annoyed when approached in public. Saying, "wow that's Jerry Seinfeld over there!" and moving on with your day is the most empathetic and mature move.

It's not interaction though. It's a one sided thing, and that's always annoying. It's like if you live in an area with a lot of people and you can't walk a block without being stopped by someone asking for change, a smoke, or both. Being stopped to beg for accolegement isn't much different than being stopped so someone can beg for change. You don't know them as a person. You know them as fame, and you're just begging for a tiny piece of that fame to keep for yourself.

I mean, if you watched a TV show or sports figure every day for years, and you happen to see them in an elevator...it'd be pretty hard to not at least say something simple, or shake their hand if they are OK with it.
It goes both ways. If I was famous I would not want others to hug me or tell me they love me. But it'd be pretty cool to get a flow of people daily giving you gratification for your hard work, like a simple "You're awesome." or "nice to meet you" or something.

She's a celebrity in her own right and current, so she's used to people recognizing her all the time. She probably wouldn't think someone wouldn't, but Seinfeld seems to be sheltered in his billionaire elite lifestyle and out of touch with other current celebrities.
A hug is not a big deal really, she's not someone off the streets that was there. I thought he was snobbish before.

People interact with strangers everyday. The fact he wouldn't even interact with the Stewards is pretty douchy.
There is also the fact that he is famous and part of being famous means having fans and being recognized. You wouldn't be famous without fans so to just ignore them and not even saying "hi" is a bit of a douche move. Respects people who let you get to where you are now.

I'm not the guy you responded to here, but I wanna clear this up for ya (and for whatever late-to-the-thread stragglers end up reading this) if that's okay.
You're trying to say Jerry tells it like it is (even when not doing so would be more well-received by the group/audience), because he cares more about being straight-forward & honest than he cares about protecting people's feelings. (Correct me if I'm mistaken.)
What you actually said, though, was more ambiguous -- and it's definitely something that would raise a red flag for a lot of people who read it. There's a certain clichรฉ/archetype in our culture that can be generally defined like this:
a person who acts like an inconsiderate jackass -- and doesn't fully understand why others tend to react negatively towards the things they say (and/or doesn't want to be more considerate) -- so they defend their unnecessary rudeness and ultimately-not-well-intended remarks as some sort of nobly defiant "telling it like it is"
To be clear, I am 0% suggesting that you (or Jerry, for that matter) are one of those people. But unfortunately, I think the way you wrote that first comment made you come across in that way.
"Being straightforward & honest" and "being considerate" are not mutually exclusive. I believe /u/FirewhiskyGuitar was saying that an asshole, by (their) definition (not to say it's an uncommon one), is someone who acts/speaks with zero consideration for other people.
I think the admirable "tells-it-like-it-is" kind of person is someone who speaks the truth & stands up for it, but who also acts/speaks with regard for the feelings & understandings of others - who (when need be) is careful about what they say & how they say it. That's what a (good) filter is.
FirewhiskyGuitar ยท 2 points ยท Posted at 16:41:58 on June 8, 2017 ยท (Permalink)
Yup, correct assessment here. Thanks for elaborating.
Most assholes don't realize they're being assholes either because they lack that ability to empathize and see things from another perspective, so, unfortunately this explanation will likely (edit: and now I see, it totally did) go over that guy's head.

I read that, and to answer you perfectly simple.. he tells it like it is, he is no where near a douche or asshole. He doesn't go out of his way to disrespect people.

I'm torn because I tend to agree with this logic.
In any other profession we seem to be okay with the, "well, if you don't like the consequences of that profession, why are you in it?" Except for celebrities for some reason.
It really doesn't seem like asking much. If this is something that breaks down your mentality, you've got something wrong with your mentality. It's just the consequence for the profession. You can deal with it and acknowledge people who appreciate you and want to express it, or you can shun them. The latter is sure you're right--but it doesn't make you not a douchebag.
I really don't know how I feel at the end of the day. This is merely just my impression of it.

I think people are completely entitled sounding in this. He created content and comedy that we all enjoy and somehow we are also entitled to his personal time and space? It's not like he's going out of his way to be a dick. He's literally minding his own business and people act like he's causing problems.
People are saying that's the price you pay for us making him famous? No, he made himself famous through hard work. And it's clearly not a price he HAS to pay. Sounds like his buffer works really well.
Seriously fuck off with the attitude that celebrities owe people anything. They provide entertainment for people and people demand more. Why is his desire for privacy any less important than people's desire for his attention? Society has an odd obsessive behavior towards celebrities and if celebrities complain, they get bitched at. It's kind of disgusting how entitled people can be.

I don't know the full context but I think it's a bit douchey to not respond to the flight crew. Flight crew being stewardesses and stuff like that. As long as they pretend like they don't know who he is I think it's reasonable for him to respond with his food choices and things like that, instead of relaying through a 2nd person.
I imagine that it sometimes leads to those people asking for autographs occasionally and it doesn't bother him to just put up the wall to ensure that never happens though, but everyone's limits are different.
Seems just a little overboard to me considering their job is to serve him(it'd be like asking your other person at the table to speak to the waiter and order for you while you sit there and ignore them).
Many of the other stories I've read in here seem fine though(his behavior in them).

Honest question, if it were just some random dude that thought he was too good to talk to you and not a beloved actor would you still not mind?
If someone acts like this they are basically saying that they consider themselves so much better than you that you aren't even worth their notice, even when they need to interact with you. Or at least that's how a lot of people are going to take it. So yeah, I can see how that offends some. Mostly because it's enormously assholish behavior.

If some random guy didn't feel like talking to me I would think "Well, I guess that guy isn't in the mood to talk to me" and I would move the fuck on with my life. Why would I assume anything like "he thinks he's to good to talk to me?" That came from nowhere. There's plenty of times where I'm not in the mood to talk to anyone, and it's got absolutely nothing to do with any feeling of superiority.

Come on. You can't seriously think that the one and only job he's hired this person for is to keep airline stewardesses from talking to him. It's obviously something like his personal assistant.
Even if that was their specific job what does it matter? I simply don't understand what's assholish about not wanting to talk to people.
Thought experiment: Say Jerry doesn't want to go out because he'll be constantly approached by people. So he employs a personal shopper to buy groceries and whatever. Does that make him an asshole?

why should he? maybe every time he orders juice instead of it taking 5 seconds it takes a minute because everyone wants to chat with him, take a selfie, get an autograph, etc.. this is why celebrities have assistants who get the uber, check them into the hotel, do all the mundane tasks and handle all the required human interaction so that someone like jerry can get on with his day. if i was jerry and drew the amount of attention that he surely must, hundreds of people wanting a piece of day, everyday.. i'd have a buffer too. he doesn't owe anyone shit. he made a show, he entertained us for a decade and it cost us nothing to watch.. if he doesn't want to be bothered now, no problem.

because fame and money doesnt make him any less of a person, or him any more of a person, if im a flight attendent and im doing my job, the almighty jerry should have to address me like the rest of the rabble.
dude flies first class, they dont exactly let people roll through and line up for selfies in the aisle. He can also politely decline. Every time i look up on a plane the guy next to me wants to strike up a conversation as long as illiad. I decline him politely, because it takes less than 5 seconds of my time.
If it is honestly as taxing as you say it is, retire. HE isn't struggling for cash, he clearly isn't desperate for attention, and if its such a Sisyphean burden the should just pile it in and call it quits. Otherwise its part of the job. Difficulty of the job doesnt mean you can be an utter douche. President's can't even shit alone, i think jerry can pack it in.
Yeah, he owes everyone who's service he uses or is using the same amount of respect he intends to get from others for every paid job he does, why should a flight attendent be worth less common courtesy from jerry seinfeld than they would get from anyone else?
Does jerry get different behavior rules because he's rich?

There's such a thing as a reasonable expectation, if jerry is on the other side of the country where he can't conduct his business in person, fine, if jerry is unavailable, fine. The reason these are fine is because its sometimes unreasonable to expect jerry to conduct all his business in person. In fact there are very few situations where i would actually expect him to do his business in person
However, when jerry is standing right next to you as you talk for jerry in the third person, while jerry stands there not doing anything, all because jerry cant be bothered to conduct business with me, then jerry can go fuck himself, because that's one of the few times i actually expect jerry to be fully capable of doing business with me in person.

Remember the guy who mentioned this scenario explicitly stated was not in a bar, it was on a plane, most likely in first class, and even at that point not even the flight staff were addressed by jerry. So "guy sitting and doing nothing while other guy talks for the first guy because nothing guy just cant be bothered" is pretty much the exact scenario we're talking about.
If its a phone conversation, then thats a really long phone conversation. But then again if jerry gets special rules for basic human interaction, he also probably gets to be the loud asshole on his phone for the entire plane flight, right? Because he's jerry and he's got important jerry things to do, like not talk to "the help."
Even god talked to moses directly, sure it was through a bush, but he at least did the talking. also it was god. You mean to tell me jerry seinfeld is so important he needs his own prophets to speak for him? Has jerry left these mortal coils, ascended to a higher state of being.

you should consider WHEN that would become an actual necessity and then ask yourself if perhaps jerry crossed that threshold a long time ago when nearly everyone on the face of the earth became familiar with him

Seakawn ยท 1 points ยท Posted at 00:01:17 on June 7, 2017 ยท (Permalink)
Well, it's a big scale, so there are many different thresholds.
Money just allows you to do more things, that's about all money is useful for. If you have enough, you can do more things than other people can. If you really have enough, you can live life just the way you want to.
Is that your right? Are there ways you can choose to live your life, utilizing your wealth, that are disrespectful to others? Sure, but plenty of those ways are surely up for debate. It's difficult to generalize this, you really just have to pick a specific example and then go from there.
If I'm a flight attendant, and someone uses their partner as a proxy to respond to me doing my service job, then I'd probably be a bit perplexed, maybe annoyed. Same if someone who was rich paid someone to be that proxy. Fame doesn't really seem to flip the tables around here.
Lord_dokodo ยท 1 points ยท Posted at 02:02:36 on June 7, 2017 ยท (Permalink)
No, it's not based on monetary wealth. It's based on cultural wealth. Someone as cultured and sophisticated as Jerry Seinfeld deserves to do anything to anyone. He should have just sucker punched Kesha for clearly trying to steal his wallet in this facade of goodwill.
ALright well I don't know where to take this. I was obviously being sarcastic but people are so enflamed in this thread about all of this that they can't tell who is joking and who is serious.

I agree. He's got the money because all of the little people paid a shit ton of money to make him rich. Advertisers paid, we bought, Jerry cashed in. He, at the least, should be respectful of those who paid his salary (including the flight crew). I'm not saying people own him and he must succumb to random people hugging him or taking up all his spare time, but a fucking "Hello" shouldn't be too much to ask.

What exactly did you buy to support him? He doesn't owe you any more than anyone else. That's like saying you bought a sandwich at subway so the owner should personally come say hello to you. He did a job and got paid for it. He doesn't owe you anything.

No, it's nothing like Subway. Advertising pays for TV. How do you think networks get financed so well they can offer JS $millions per episode? Why do you think it costs millions of dollars for a 30 second advert during the Super Bowl?

First, I never asked to be thanked. I said that JS could be less of a slug and at least say hello to the people that make his flying possible.

Jerry stayed in my resort I worked at. In the presidential suite. We had 3 restaurants in the resort. I was the only room service person working those nights.
Dude ordered dominos everyday and didnt bother having anyone come to his room besides the delivery guy. I have met hundreds of celebrities this way. Always a good talk and a nice experience. Jerry, you mother fucker. You owe me a conversation! Lol

This is unfortunate on the internet because people value spelling immensely online to the point that peers will discredit all content due to one spelling error consuming the readers attention.

He would not have chatted with you under any circumstances. He doesnโt care for normal people or small talk. From what Iโve seen, he tolerates it for about 5 seconds and if itโs clear you will go beyond that threshold, he shuts it down.

Meh, hes not required to be social. To you he's a celebrity but to him your some dude who's annoying him. If he wasn't famous, him not wanting to talk to strangers would be normal and completely un noteworthy. I'd reckon that description of how he handles random encounters is accurate for how most New Yorkers handle un solicited small talk.

This seems to be missing from our conventional understanding of celebrities.
Let's assume you are an accountant. If some other person you've never met in your life walks up to you and says, "Hey, you're a good accountant. Can I hug you?" and then literally arms out goes for it, you're going to be super weirded out too.
Does it matter that they're also an accountant? Nope. Does it matter that Seinfeld's a famous person? Nope. Doesn't give anybody leeway to just be all "Come here, you!"
TobyTheRobot ยท 36 points ยท Posted at 21:28:42 on June 6, 2017 ยท (Permalink)
Well -- that distinction is actually kind of relevant. I mean if you get into show business you kind of accept the "risk" that you're going to be come famous (or at least known) if you have any success at it. The reason that you're valuable/make money is because people recognize you and like you -- that's what makes you a draw. And dealing with fans coming up to you in public is reasonably considered to be part of the "job" in a way that just has no analogue for an accountant.
With that being said I totally understand how celebrities would get sick of it, and there should be some degree of understanding for a curt brush-off sometimes. But it's not as weird to get approached as it would be for an accountant; you signed up for this.

While a person is actively working and relying on their celebrity status to make a living, that's a fair point. But I think Seinfeld is past that, he's made his money, he's been at the top of his game.
He might still work here and there on projects that he wants to do, but he doesn't need to play along with the fake niceness and arse-kissing that show business is full of.

Eh, I don't think becoming a celebrity invalidates your right to bodily autonomy. You signed up to be in movies or TV shows or music albums or whatever. You didn't signup to have strangers touch you, even famous ones.
It'd be a bit different if he said "No, thanks." and she said "Okeydoke, enjoy the event!" and walked away. That he had to say it three times was way overkill. But he still 100% has the right to say no, just like the accountant.

To you. A lot of people prefer their personal space and aren't overly keen on chatting with strangers. It doesn't really matter what someone chooses to do for a living, on their personal time they're entitled to the same respect for physical boundaries as anyone else.

Actually, It'd be more understandable if someone was dealing with 8th graders wanting to give them hugs. Normal adults should be able to comprehend the fact that seeing someone on t.v does not mean you are entitled to their attention and certainly not to physical contact with them. By your logic, if a doctor didn't want his patients to walk up to him on the street and ask him medical questions, he shouldn't be a doctor.
What people do for a living in no way gives anyone else carte blanche to ignore basic social etiquette when seeing them out and about. If a healthy, independent adult cannot grasp the concept that a celebrity may not want to hug a stranger just because said stranger seen them on tv, I'd say that's more a problem with the stranger than the celebrity. We aren't discussing whether or not they should be surprised by it, we're discussing whether or not (in your own words) it is a "big deal" and the fact remains to some people it evidently is.

Everywhere he goes there will be some fan asking for something, so I can totally understand that he isn't thrilled with the idea of giving out hugs, autographs or doing a stop and chat. Imagine if you were stopped by random people asking for hugs and photos everytime you walked out your door. Some celebrities are extremely extrovert and love the attention (or at least pretend to), he's not. That doesn't make him a jerk, just a normal person.

Chancoop ยท 3 points ยท Posted at 22:32:26 on June 6, 2017 ยท (Permalink)
The only issue with that is accountants don't hire publicists. Actors are public figures, and by accepting the role of a public figure they are consenting to certain things most people don't. This is why paparazzi are allowed to get away with what they do to celebrities. Public figures give up some privacy rights. Also, entertainers depend on publicity to some extent as part of their career success.

This analogy does not work. He is a celebrity. Not an accountant. His status depend on being famous, being known to people and being loved by them. His income depends on his fans. Don't get me wrong, I am not saying he is supposed to be a slave to them. But let's not make this false analogy and assume he is just like member of some other craft. He is not.

Exactly this. Everyone envisions their celebrity encounters from their own point of view and not from the celebrityโs. They are also a human and maybe they donโt feel like talking to you or anyone else at that particular moment. Itโs not a one-sided equation.

A celebrity has their fans to thank for their career, an accountant doesn't. I'm a HUGE Seinfeld fan but in real life Jerry always seemed like a bit of a cock, especially when you have other celebrities like Dave Chappelle who will actually stop and talk with his fans or media.

To be fair, these people make millions of dollars as entertainers. Jerry Seinfeld has made hundreds of millions. Part of the gig is being at least tolerable when people say hello. You don't need to stop or have a conversation, but don't act like they're garbage for appreciating your work.

This is like an insanely micro scale compared to being a celebrity, but I'm one of like 7 managers at a store with ~200 employees and people are constantly trying to corner me into 15+ minutes of small talk during my lunch break. I deal with the public all the time, the very last thing I want is to spend my break having to make more polite chit chat with people I wouldn't naturally hang around. Dear god, please just let me eat my pb sandwich and surf reddit in silence. I can't even imagine what it would be like to be recognizable outside of work and not even be able to step outside your house without having a similar experience. It must be very draining. (And I say this as someone who is generally very social and likes people quite a bit, but goddamn you can only fake laugh at the same stupid joke so many times before it starts wearing thin. People are sooo predictable and repetitive when you interact with a lot of them.)

He signed up to be an actor and a comedian, but that doesn't mean he's obligated to be everyone's dancing monkey 24/7/365. It's possible to enjoy your job and still not want to do it more than 9-5, and wanting to have a life outside of work is healthy for anyone including celebrities. I love my job and I couldn't see myself doing anything else (I'm a veterinarian), but that doesn't mean I want to get unsolicited texts from casual acquaintances about their dog having diarrhea at 2 AM while I'm off the clock. It's nice that some celebrities are cool about keeping up the fanservice while they're going about their daily lives outside of work, but I'd hardly call that a fair thing to expect out of them as a job requirement. If the dude wants to spend his vacation time in his hotel room eating Domino's, I don't see anything wrong with that. You'd be pissed if I barged into your hotel room and expected an autograph and a conversation while you were on vacation.

To be fair, celebrities know when they go in that if they make it big their recognizability is going through the roof and hundreds of thousands of really annoying people are going to want to pester them with the same shit every single day of their lives.
Also to be fair, they're still allowed a preference on how social they want to be and not all of them are extroverts. Jude Law for instance is vocal about not wanting to be a celebrity; he just wants to be an actor. You never really hear about people like Liam Neeson outside movie promotions. Some of them just want to work hard, go home, and enjoy their private lives.
They do bring it on themselves, but that doesn't mean they don't have a right to a break every once in a while.

I have a few comic friends and I don't think it's a celebrity thing. Not in any kind of bad or weird way. It's just that, normal conversation for Jerry might be more about things like his career in comedy, or the comedy profession in general. Take Kesha for example. Probably knows less than nothing about comedy. Even if we found a way to sit the 2 down for some nice dinner conversation there's no way either one knows a topic the other one cares enough to talk about.

If you're ever a celebrity as big as Jerry, your opinion might eventually change. You might get tired of having to give everyone hugs since you'de be the celebrity who gave "anyone who asked" a hug. Walking down the street on a relaxing Saturday evening could become a ridiculous hug fest. How many celebrities do you know that just give anyone hugs?

Does the show ever explicitly say that Jerry has OCD? Because a number of the show's plots are consistent with him having at least a mild case of it.
-Being irreversibly grossed out by his girlfriend using a betoileted toothbrush.
-Being uncomfortable with the kiss hello.
-Being put on the spot to eat the pizza that Poppy made without having washed his hands.

Some religious faiths cannot accept physical contact, especially with specific genders.
No idea if this applies to Jerry. Still, it is the right of consenting adults to say yes or no to any contact with any creature (including themselves).

My fucking comment depleted, shit.
Ok let me summarise why this is such a retarded argument:
Exaggeration is key element of sitcoms
IT Crowd: not a documentary based on a London City Tech Support team
Father Ted: not an accurate representation of rural Ireland nor of life in the priesthood
Just Shoot Me: Not how a magazine is run
Goldbergs: though it's inspired by it is not in fact an actual verbatim representation of a small Jewish family in the 80s
Arrested Development, it's Always Sunny, Friends.. they are merely situations, themes and backdrops where comedy can take place
And its not just in comedy, Criminal Minds, not accurate, Law and Order SVU... madness altogether. Do you see?
[deleted] ยท 1 points ยท Posted at 23:45:16 on June 6, 2017 ยท (Permalink)
Sunny is pretty good, because they don't assume you're an idiot and treat you accordingly. You have to pay attention and understand nuance. BBT is like a blunt instrument with a built-in speaker going LAUGH, LAUGH, THIS GUY CAN'T TALK TO GIRLS UNLESS HE'S WASTED, THIS GUY IS A PERV, HAHA, OH THIS GUY IS REAAALY AWKWARD.
If someone is entertained by obvious, predictable, played-out, spoon-fed nonsense, great. I'll stick to shows like The Wire and Sunny.
Edit: I have only seen the first two seasons of Arrested Development. It's believable enough without resorting to tired lines and laugh tracks.
Edit 2: Friends had realistic characters, from what I saw, but I'd have to be lobotomized to watch it again.

From all accounts he sounds like one of the most arrogant, overpaid snotrags who has ever existed. That said, the "koolaid drinking" is just the show being a victim of its own success.

you want to do 1-4k instead of 1 dollar. you'll pay 100-400 in taxes usually(substantially less) but you also won't be challenged.
a 1 dollar car sale stands out. might get flagged for review because it is fraud to avoid paying the tax on the value of the gift.
it'll fly under the radar much smoother than a 1 dollar sale.

Who does that?!" Jerry, nodding: "This lady apparently. And I'm thinking to myself Oh No, do I know this person? Is this that girl I dated last week? I can't remember her name!" George: "Mulva, her name was Mulva. What was the hugging motion like? Was it like this?" George comes at Jerry with open arms, just as Kramer barges into the apartment...

Interesting note: that award ceremony - made especially to honor Jerry Seinfeld - was recorded in 2005, but not aired until 2007. Most likely because of that acceptance speech, in which (as you can see) he blew the whole thing to pieces.

I would say that his neuroses and irritability are kind of his thing. Those things are fine and I think they fuel his comedy, but I agree that if you watch Comedians in Cars Getting Coffee, you'll see that he kind of tends to talk about himself as one of the greats. I've seen this in a few interviews as well. I think Seinfeld was great and he did a lot of great stand up, but I feel like he's still trying to ride the success of a TV show that ended 20 years ago. Even the comedians that I consider the greats, like Steve Martin or Robin Williams, never talked about themselves this way unless it was blatantly a joke.

Everything you do is advertising except for select few jobs.
Edit: even if you don't directly participate in advertising you are making products, providing materials or offerring services that are getting advertised in order to reach a consumer. So indirectly or directly everyone is a part of one huge advertising scheme.
Seinfeld recognizes he's also part of it, that's the whole brilliance of that speech.

Yes. You're advertising the services and benefits of being a member of said county. By providing the great treatment and care to people who walk through your doors (as you best discern in your professional judgment) you are giving them a reason to remain in your county.

Your end result "advertises" the capabilities of your employer. You "advertise" for best practices/vendors/any other decision you are involved in. Advertising doesn't have to be just for your services or products and this is something people who don't have a marketing mindset overlook.

The traditional way of doing this is to take a coat hanger, stab it hard into your ear, and head for the spot responsible for moral behavior. Give it a good twist when you get there. You're now qualified to become rich (if you weren't already).

This is a common misconception. In fact, the vast majority of large estates - the tiny percentage of all estates that are actually subject to the estate tax - consist to a large degree of unrealized capital gains that have never been taxed; the estate tax is the only means of taxing this income.
Furthermore, we tax money more than once in other ways: sales taxes, property taxes, and state and local income taxes all tax money that has already been taxed by the federal government. The primary difference with money taxed by the estate tax is that it hasn't ever been taxed before!

You missed the important part of my comment, which is that, under the US estate tax, the vast majority of estates actually taxed are investments that are primarily made up of appreciated and as-yet-untaxed assets. Perhaps in Canada the estate tax has a much lower cut off than in the US? But the teeny, tiny percentage of estates that actually get taxed in the US have a much smaller percentage of assets that have been previously taxed.
As for the rest of your comment, well, I can see why you disagree. You are clearly strongly opposed to most - all? - taxes. That's fair, you're not alone. But I strongly disagree. Taxes are the price we pay for a civilized society. And considering that your taxes pay for, among other things, a better health care system than ours, I find it hard to understand your position.
Also,
Do you mean Bank of America? That's a private entity. They don't print our money. Or do you mean that they (among other banks) get money from the federal government, and then release it into circulation?
[deleted] ยท 0 points ยท Posted at 00:28:41 on June 7, 2017 ยท (Permalink)
If the state the money was made in has an income tax, it would have been taxed as earned income at some point correct? Federal for sure, state laws dictate the state. The whole taxing it coming (income) in and taxing it going out (sales) is tough to swallow in most states. Considering we all pay federal taxes, and in turn we get more regulation. If I am paying federal taxes, give me healthcare.
ThisDerpForSale ยท 2 points ยท Posted at 03:54:21 on June 7, 2017 ยท (Permalink)
I'm not sure I'm understanding what you're saying. Most states do have both income and sales taxes. As well as property tax.

There's a lifetime credit against your estate of ~$11 million (assuming you're married). The estate tax is something that ONLY rich people pay. No regular Joe has a net worth that high when they pass.

The trick is to invest in mutual funds. On average, a $10 investment in mutual funds will grow by 7% a year after inflation .
Meaning, if 24-year old FollowKick puts $10 into a mutual fund now, 44-year old FollowKick will get $38 back. If he leaves it in for 10 more years, that orginial $10 has now grown to $76! Astounding!
The hump to get over is actually having a financial advisor to invest with. Luckily, FollowKick already has a portfolio.

You have to have enough money to make it worth doing. The overwhelming majority of Americans pay no estate taxes so a trust would be pointless.
edit: Since people are hassling me about it I just want to point out that a Trust has many legitimate uses. I was referring to the fact that using a Trust to avoid estate or "death" taxes is useless for the vast majority of people

The point is, the money you're inheriting has already been taxed (probably several times - income tax when it was earned, then again when you received interest/dividend/capital gains from it).

Taxes are applied whenever money changes hands, it doesn't matter if it's been taxed before, as long as it hasn't been taxed for that exchange.
All money has been taxed many many times because the same money is always changing hands.

There are entire markets with no providers. AETNA and others who were sole providers backed out as the only providers.
People have been paying up the Wahoo for insurance with 10,000 deductibles. That is absolutely ridiculous. The cheapest insurance I can get has been $300 for absolutely crap crap crap that was useless.
And if I went with nothing it was a huge penalty in tax season, let's get real now.

Why does it take government subsidies to make it work? Why are the markets so limited? Obama was using Fannie and Freddie funds illegally to prop it up and it was still failing.
That system doesn't work. Even as it was being propped up by subsidies it was ridiculous with exhorbitant deductibles and ever increasing premiums.
My insurance as it stands costs $950 a month for just me. I don't make a killing personally but my employer, like many others ends up footing a good portion of it as a benefit so that makes my wage more worth it, though it still falls short of many other professional careers.

All money is taxed whenever it is exchanged. You can argue against taxation in general but the estate tax is no different than the regular taxes we deal with, in fact it's more lenient since it only kicks in at $10.8 mil for a married couple whereas all other exchanges are always taxed (gifts actually count against your estate tax allowance also).
Taxation in general is just a cost of having an economic system where money even means something to begin with. The enforcement of property rights is paid for by taxing property.
There are societal arguments to be made for an estate tax in particular but they aren't really necessary to make because all exchanges are taxed anyway.

Azurewrathx ยท 3 points ยท Posted at 22:32:53 on June 6, 2017 ยท (Permalink)
Another option would be to tax high earners more heavily over the course of their life. You could think of the inheritance tax as paying a reduced tax rate on income that you spend over the course of your life, and any amount unspent over the threshold at death is then adjusted for what the true tax rate should have been.
What would you rather have happen? Less money now and no inheritance tax later, or more money now and an inheritance tax later? More money now is usually better, no?
If your argument is just less taxes on the wealthy, then that's a different conversation :)

Nope. You want to avoid having any assets pass through your will. A will is just a safety net in case you die with assets in your name alone. Then those assets will be probated through the will

While this is true, it can still be very valuable for the average American. For example, God forbid my grandmother ever had to go into a nursing home. In America this costs something like $2,500 a week and insurance only covers 80% of it. This leaves the individual in the nursing home owing the remaining ~$300 a week. Unless the individual dies fairly quickly in the nursing home the bill will add up very fast. The nursing home cannot kick the person out, but they can seize all assets, this includes bank accounts, properties, stocks, etc. However, if, for example, you place the properties in a trust for a minimum of 10 years, they are untouchable by the nursing home.
For this reason my grandmother has placed her house, a large portion of her savings, and certain stocks in a trust. The items have to remain in a trust for 10 years without being added to, subtracted from, or modified in any way for the trust to go into effect. So if she drew $1 from or added it to the trust the 10 years would reset, leaving all the money vulnerable to seizure. Its a good decision to make if you have any property, valuable possessions, money, or really any assets you want to leave loved ones. Nursing homes will take it all if you ever need to be sent to one, so its definitely something to consider when you hit your golden years.

I'm sorry but a nursing home charging so much that you leave absolutely nothing for your children is ridiculous. No necessary institution should be able to take literally everything you own, everything you worked for a lifetime to earn.

Atiggerx33 ยท 1 points ยท Posted at 10:57:55 on June 7, 2017 ยท (Permalink)
How is it Medicaid fraud? 1. She's on Medicare, she has never implied or hinted to the government that she is poor. Did I accidentally type Medicaid, not Medicare before? If so I'm sorry, I meant Medicare. 2. She paid into Medicare her entire working life, as one does, and is not nor has she ever cheated them out of a single penny. 3. So putting your assets in a legal trust so they can't be seized, the whole point of a legal trust really, is somehow fraud now?
The money/assets she would pay upon going into a nursing home would not go to Medicare, it would go to the nursing home. Medicare normally covers 80%, so they'll pay ~$2,200 a week to keep her there regardless of whether she had any assets or not. If she did have assets the nursing home requires another ~$300 a week out of pocket. They continue taking until the elderly is left with no assets, and then happily content themselves with the continuing Medicare payment of ~2,200 weekly.
Maybe you disagree, but I think that cost is ridiculous for an institution routinely charged with elderly abuse in this country. Letting the old sit in dirty diapers, getting bedsores, etc. shouldn't cost so much. But even if they treated her fine, would you be ok with losing everything you spent a lifetime earning? They literally take everything until you end up with jack shit left in your will for your children. No necessary institution should be able to literally take everything you own. My mom's friend just had to place her mother in a nursing home. Its been a year, the house is gone, the $30,000 she had saved in her bank account is gone, and they're currently in the process of liquidating all the valuables she had in her home. She worked her whole life with the intention of having something to leave to her children and now she is leaving them with nothing. Maybe you think this is a wonderful system, but a lot of elderly disagree with you, and wonder why they bothered working and saving their whole lives if all it amounts to is jack shit.

Well simply put, we don't intend to ever actually put her in a nursing home, this was all for "just in case" we'd hire a live in nurse if at all possible before we'd consider putting her in a nursing home. Not only is it more kind to the elderly individual (being kept in a familiar location) but it also ends up being cheaper in the long term. I honestly feel nursing homes should be cheaper, and believe in universal healthcare, in which your and my taxes would pay for it anyway. She isn't hiding her assets, everyone knows that they are there... I mean you can't hide the existence of a house for example.
This is all only what her lawyer suggested she do when she expressed concern that she may end up having everything taken from her. It isn't fraud considering that people put their assets in trusts all the time. She probably has long term care insurance, maybe that is what I meant only covers 80%?
Either way, I honestly want your opinion on this. What is the point in working your whole life and saving money if its all just gonna get taken when you get really old? Seriously, what would be the difference between her putting her money in a trust, or if she decided to liquidate everything right now and going on a spending spree, staying in 5 star hotels, beautiful vacations, donating to charities, etc.? I mean if either way you're gonna be left with absolutely nothing to give your children when you pass on, then why not blow it all? If a trust wasn't an option, and I was diagnosed early with dementia or Alzheimers, that's what I'd be doing. Might as well use this money and enjoy it rather than throwing it away.

Also don't forget the idea of a trust protecting property. Such as someone who is going into a nursing home and requires Medicaid eventually. Medicaid would require all assets to be dissolved and paid into their care before Medicaid would pay. But with property in a trust it can't be touched since its not owned by the person applying for nursing care. That's just one situation though.

Depending on what all you wanted done, that sounds reasonable. No idea where homeboy got $100 from. I bill out at $250 an hour, so the assumption is that it would take me ~25 minutes from start to finish. I don't think I've ever had an initial client meeting that lasted less than an hour.

Trusts don't entirely avoid inheritance tax. When assets are initially contributed into the trust, the benefactor must file a gift tax return and effectively pre-pay any inheritance tax that would have been owed on those assets at the time of their death. Also, the trust must pay income tax each year on any undistributed earnings from the assets it holds.
The only savings occurs when the assets appreciate within the trust as this appreciation avoids inheritance tax for a generation.

Always have to remember that the taxes aren't incurred until income is realized. If trust was worth X in 2010 and now it's worth 3X there may be no taxes owed until you sell the assets at which point you are taxed based on an income of 2X (selling price-investment cost=income). Her trust probably rolls over a lot of dividends and balances gains and losses until she is only paying taxes on the amount she needs to spend each year

What, you think they have their money all on APPL or TSLA? Once you get that much money, you don't need to worry about growing it, just preserving it. They park it in places like high-quality bonds or TIPS that are protected against market fluctuations and have a 1-2% annual return, because 1% of a billion dollars is roughly $doesntmattermorethanyouneed per year.

Oh come on, look at historical trends, even if you invested prior to any of the worst crashes in the history of the US stock exchange, you would be profitable within the next decade (often sooner). And of course the most wealthy are in the best position to ride it out.

Generation-skipping transfer tax
The U.S. generation-skipping transfer tax imposes a tax on both outright gifts and transfers in trust to or for the benefit of unrelated persons who are more than 37.5 years younger than the donor or to related persons more than one generation younger than the donor, such as grandchildren. The generation-skipping tax will be imposed only if the transfer avoids incurring a gift or estate tax at each generation level.
For example, property is placed in a trust for the donor's child and grandchildren. The income may be distributed among the child and grandchildren in accordance with their needs and the principal of the trust will be distributed outright to the grandchildren following the child's death.

They are in a Grantor Retained Annuity Trust, basically they take the value at the time say $1,000,000 then you get to chop off 30% if non-marketable securities then you have to give an annuity to the grantor for a set time say 10 years of $70,000. Then after 10 years they have paid $700,000 worth of taxes and all the assets are now in a trust tax free for the trustee.

In the above setting you only need to pay the annuity of $10 each year for $10 years. If the value of the $100 goes up to $100,000 you don't pay any taxes because the price is based off the initial GRAT inception.

It is mainly used for people who own companies and want to pass down the ownership to their children. So you can use the earnings of the company to pay the annuity and you also get tax benefits if it's a privately held company.

Well you report the value of the trust assets yourself (subject to risk of audit/adjustment) and they typically are reported with discounts for lack of marketability etc.
But there's no reason you couldn't take those same discounts when you report the assets on an estate return on death, so the difference is when you pay taxes, not how you report the value to the IRS.

I'm curious as to how some of the trust stuff work. If I'm the "primary trustee" does that mean that I "own", or merely control the assets. If I am given a trust can I buy a house with it, die, and pass control to my kids without taxes? Can I do this forever even if all of it is above the inheritance tax threshold?

Technically, I don't think a trust is actually a legal entity (i.e., it is different than a corporation in that sense). It's just a relationship between parties with respect to divvied up property rights: The trustee owns the assets (has title), but that ownership is subject to the beneficial rights of the beneficiaries, which give rise to a fiduciary relation. Hence that doctrine (merger? joinder? been a while since the bar) where a trust ceases to exist if all the control/benefit rights end up in a single person's hands - at that point, it's effectively just fee simple ownership anyway. (To continue the comparison with a corp: if you own all shares of Apple, it doesn't cease to exist.)
The rest of what you say sounds right. For example what you're saying re revocable trusts going to the taxable estate is 100% right in CA - I'm working on something where that is playing a major role right now, actually.
Sorry for the nitpick (but you know you would have done it too - that shits in our blood).

Only if transferred at death do you get a stepped up basis.

Noctudeit ยท 6 points ยท Posted at 22:20:38 on June 6, 2017 ยท (Permalink)
The basis step-up is only available for assets transferred through death. It doesn't apply to assets held in trust since title changes hands prior to the benefactor's death.
Also, basis step-up has no bearing on inheritance tax which is paid by the decedent's estate before assets are distributed to heirs.

Isn't this the loophole? Can't you think of so many ways where you pay the trust for certain services, which make it a payment instead of a gift?

Paying the trust for services would generate taxable income in the trust which is probably not favorable.

The spirit of the law is to protect a family's money from being taxed into oblivion every time someone dies.
If you have a fortune, your family makes a decent living, and you have 4 kids, not only are you quartering the families wealth, it would get taxed at x% each time. Simply dying and being taxed would wipe a families fortune in a generation or two.
Worse still, if your family doesn't want to spend the money, or is rich enough not to, they dont have to pay the US X% of dads money simply because he died. If a a teacher, for instance, inherits, Daddy CEOs 1 million, instead of just giving Uncle Sam 40% off the top just because he died, she can set it up in a trust, live a decent life and retire, then be taxed when she actually uses the money.

That's kinda the whole point: society has seen, empirically, that we do NOT want an aristocracy as it creates inequality. THAT is why a huge tax on inheritance is beneficial to society: a beneficiary is never guaranteed to be a good one. And over time we have seen that it sets up dynasties. That the game 'Monopoly' is correct: it is just a concentrator of wealth and has time after time PROVED to be a bad thing which sets up societal situations which we as a society really want to avoid.
Inheritance tax is good and should be called anti-aristocracy tax.

I'm all for it, just needs to be adjusted. Blanket 30-40% is just utterly ridiculous.
Example A. Rich kid inherits 100 mil. The 35% tax wont hurt him that much but the massive amounts of cash involved allow him to find work arounds using investments, real estate, etc simply because he can. He can also afford to pay a commission to a professional to shield to him from the tax. 35 million dollars gives him a massive incentive to cheat and the ability to do so.
Example B. Small business owner dies and and leaves 500k to 1 child in an unrelated field. Child has no plans to touch the money till retirement anyway but has to give uncle sam off 40% right away, and then get taxed again and again every year until retirement. Instead, it can grow in a trust and be taxed as income when the money is accessed.
Solving the problem is complex. I dont know the answer. The problem is, removing the workarounds will not stop dynastic wealth and will only affect the bottom end of people receiving inheritances.
MacDegger ยท 0 points ยท Posted at 23:54:00 on June 6, 2017 ยท (Permalink)
Me, I'm simple: tax EVERYTHING at 90%.
Sure, a billionaire will this leave a better legacy. But that billionaire does deserve something for his efforts even though nothing indicates his progency is worthy of that.
The thing is that everyone SHOULD make it on their own. No matter what the parent did ... shit, the inherent starting bonus is more than enough (proper food, great education, excellent contacts, etc). If the kid is deserving, they can do something with it. If they can't? Well, fuck 'em.
Same for the poor kid. There's no way they can benefit from the leftovers of a poor parent. Fine. But they money of that rich kid's parent can pay for decent food and education, infrastructure for the entire society. Let there be at least a BIT of meritocracy!
And is that not the problem right there? This means the idiot grandkid benefits too!
Except that is almost never the case! Poor parent leaves nothing!
Look: I am opposed to rich people having their kids have all the advantage: because that is not how genetics work! Everyone should have the same chance. Start with enough food and environmental impulses to mature optimally, and then see who actually prospers.
But history shows that rich/powerfull people do not always have smart/productive progency. And thus inherited wealth is a bad thing.
THIS is a law thing! Only laws do that! Make inheritance below 100k exempt and above 90% taxable and you get more money to run a better society! A billionaire should not have the ability to make his idiot son/daughter powerful due to the mere fact of inheritance! And a poor person leaving a couple of grand cannot do that either, so why not?

You could make this multiple taxation argument about almost every dollar used, so I don't find it that convincing. But as you do rightly point out with your second argument, a better way to think about it is whether the particular event should be taxed.
You aren't really being taxed for dying per se; you are being taxed for transferring money across generations. (To illustrate: If you die penniless, there's no tax assessed.) I think that's sensible, but reasonableness minds can def disagree on this.

Well having a trust and receiving an inheritance aren't the same thing in practice. Trusts have restrictions a simple inheritance doesn't. It's not just a way to pass down money without the estate tax.

The goal is that individuals don't own anything. All assets are held by the trust and the members can use the assets.
Same process of people that use firearm trusts to buy NFA items. Upon death, they aren't confiscated by the government as that individual didn't own it in the first place. The trust did. Possession transfers to whomever else is a trustee.

The fact that the money is in a trust does not exempt it from estate taxes. Trusts can be used as a tool to minimize the tax due, but it's not a magic wand you can just wave and avoid tax.

Each individual can only give $5.4 million (or $10.8 million with spouse) total and any additional is hit by an inheritance tax.
So it only is for the ultra wealthy. It's taxed at 40% even though it's already been taxed. It's to limit the ability to just hoard mad wealth for years.
It's one of many reasons why it's very difficult for a family to remain filthy rich for more than 3 generations. I'm only in accounting, but in financial planning that's a serious concern.
It's also why you see really rich families like William Randolph Hearst's heirs donating Hearst Castle because it's just going to be taxed at an absurd rate.

Oh I'm not supporting it. I'm just saying it rarely effects anyone.
If your family is leaving over $10 million in inheritance to you you're going to live just fine. It's more fucked when the kids don't do jack shit with their life and then their grand kids don't do jack shit etc.
I'm in accounting, so I've done tax returns like this and it's kinda just sad, but I don't know if I'll go as far to say that it's not fair.
If it's 2-4 kids splitting $10 million each generation that's still $2.5-$5 million untaxable. If they're just getting modest 6% returns that's $150,000 to $300,000 a year for just sitting on their butt. This doesn't even include the fact that those returns are likely capital gains taxed at only 20%.
They probably also outright bought a home that they aren't paying a mortgage on, is appreciating in value, when housing costs are as absurd as they are currently.
It's whatever I think there's a reasonable argument to be made on both sides of it. $10 million of inheritance is a lot of cash, and they still are getting money on top of that its just taxed at a really high rate. I personally would like to not see it go away entirely, but instead to have realistic rates that go up incrementally from $10 million-5 billion in inheritance or whatever. The fact that someone making just over $10 million is getting hit by that 40% rate is pretty wack, but I don't think the inheritance tax in general is ethically wrong.

Well I imagine a lot of it is coming from the Louis Dreyfus corporation, which is HUGE. Few years ago their gross revenue was 55 BILLION(according to wiki at least), they make up "10% of the world's agricultural trade flows". They're family surprisingly doesn't seem all that big and they own 90% of the company, so if they ever tried to sell it I'm sure they would all be worth a couple pretty pennies.

Oh agreed. I'm just noting her net worth as an actor/actress is debatably the highest in the world. Net worth is definitely not reflective of performance.
I mean have you ever compared Beats headphones to Bose, comparing price points to actual performance?? Talk about performance diff... welp I'm way off topic.

Probably not the best comparison, both aren't really bad headphones, but they target a very specific frequency response. The Bose sound isn't particularly neutral, it's basically part of the brand. Instead their noise cancelling is truly outstanding.

Just the streaming rights for Seinfeld were $160 million 2 years ago. After the show had already been in continious worldwide syndication/reruns for 25 years and had been released on DVD. The key here is being a co-creator, he wouldn't have done so well had he been "merely" a actor.

Jesus. I'm always fascinated by the life stories of comedians who make it in show business. You hear stories about guys like Seinfeld, Letterman, Leno, Jon Stewart and others starting out in comedy and living in the shittiest apartments and barely making ends meet (borrowing money, working multiple jobs, bumming rides, etc). None of them could have ever imagined the kind of fame and fortune they'd achieve by telling jokes. How could Seinfeld ever think he'd end up being an almost billionaire when he was starting out doing open mics?

People may disagree with his politics, but the guy took one of the biggest offices he could in this country (he wasn't born here, so he can't be president - but he probably would have been if that was not law) and he sure as hell didn't do it for the money. Being the governor of California is equivalent to being the prime minister of another country. California has a bigger gross domestic product than France.

You're being a little condescending. No one is underestimating how much he got paid or how hideous the mobile gaming industry is or their profits. What is being said is even the 100k you are talking about is pocket change to the rich. For the record I think having arnies brand associated with the game is worth millions not 100k.
You may be right in him seeing it as a way of donating or as someone else already said it's possible he's an investor which makes way more sense than him working for pocket change.

Jerry: "So I'm standing there talking to this reporter, answering his questions, you know, and this lady walks up like she knows me, and does this hugging motion!" George: "Hugging motion? Who does that?!" Jerry, nodding: "This lady apparently. And I'm thinking to myself Oh No, do I know this person? Is this that girl I dated last week? I can't remember her name!" George: "Mulva, her name was Mulva. What was the hugging motion like? Was it like this?" George comes at Jerry with open arms, just as Kramer barges into the apartment...

Not actually. It's not about first or second instance. Second (or third etc.) use of a comment can serve to a comment chain because it can be funny/meta... And it can be send by original commenter or some other user. It wouldn't be problem. Because the reason is not directly karma but make people/yourself laugh. The thing that make it funny is people know it's a copy from top of thread or top of that chain but it's also fits perfectly in that second use. People would be like "haha this is from top but fits in here just great" and laugh. But in this kind of case its only reason is karma and it's inappropriate. And they even did it 11 times. So, it's not about first/second appearance but creativity/stupidity. Which is not even close to what Mr. Octopus Tetris said.

While I didn't enjoy the show myself she also had the lead role in The New Adventures of Old Christine which lasted 5 seasons and for which she won an Emmy and was nominated for several more. And she's won 5 Emmys for Veep so I'd say she's done pretty damn well for herself. She's definitely the one I think of having the best post-Seinfeld career.

Having never paid attention to Seinfeld ever, I learned this from an Ivy League alum who claimed to know one of her relatives (this was long before Veep). They claimed she was set to inherit the family fortune because she made a name for herself and didn't depend on her family's fortune. They also said it was valued more than Seinfeld and David combined.

He is asked a few times, I think one of those is a question related to syndication of Seinfeld. He gets annoyed and says itโs a rude question or something like that but, you know, in Larryโs way.

I never understood the "They get half" idea. Unless she was blowing him in every scene of a movie he acted in she wasn't the one making things happen. I get support, I highly doubt she was doing house chores though. And while I'm all for equality, that's the opposite of equality if you're entitled to something for just being a spouse.

Johnny fucking Carson got FUCKED by his 3rd wife.
Carson married former model Joanna Holland in 1972, his 3rd wife, after Johnny was already rich and famous. They got divorced in 1983, and because of California's Community Property Laws she got 50% of Carson's wealth.
She did NOTHING to produce that wealth because Johnny had did all the work years before he even met he.
edit: Here is a particularly funny Eddy Murphy stand up bit about Carson: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SniOXFhwIZ8

Actually Hillary is still relevant. Senate committee launched a new investigation yesterday :) that's not counting the ongoing investigation into the Clinton foundation.
Afraid you're wrong though, Trump isn't being investigated by any intelligence agency, not even the coast guard which you included in your list.
The guy has more energy than me in my 20s. He did 7 rallies back to back days before the election. You might not think so, but much of the world loves him and sees him as a beacon in these chaotic times.
Please though, keep it up. The only thing that could conceivably be more enjoyable than watching foaming leftists election night will be when he's reelected and you realize you really bet on the wrong horse and you're probably fucked for life.
PS I'd suck him dry after the heroism he put on display.

Very rarely. If you have the prenup written up and signed by both parties in the presence of a lawyer, you should be fine.
There are some very rare exception, which if you look at, are clearly the result of an incompetent judge.

Yours ended fine because you did everything together. You're both normal people making normal contributions to a partnership. They're not talking about that, they're talking about situations where one person is a normal person making normal contributions, and the other is exceptional and has obviously achieved mastery in something that has led to great wealth, that would have done so regardless of who they married.
I don't think it's unreasonable to argue that such situations warrant a closer look at what is truly just. A lot of these situations you could be really, really generous about the ordinary spouse's contributions, and leave them enough to be very comfortable, and still have it be a small fraction of the overall fortune.

Flyingwheelbarrow ยท 1 points ยท Posted at 01:07:50 on June 7, 2017 ยท (Permalink)
If a couple are together before the wealth is accumulated think of it as a business partnership. People parties combine their wealth, thier talents and take different responsibilties. When a partnership is dissolved the one choosing to leave the partnership should not be made to walk away without a share of the business they helped build. Now for most of recent history when a woman left a husband she was leaving penniless and without the children. When a man left a woman he could take his wealth and just piss off to the next county. It has taken a long time to correct that injustice, an injustice that still happens in the middle east and India for example on a regular basis. If you are arguing that the current Western legal system has over corrected in family law then you need to view such an over correction in a full historical context.

Flyingwheelbarrow ยท 1 points ยท Posted at 01:40:48 on June 7, 2017 ยท (Permalink)
I think we can both agree that the legal systems needs to be updated. However anytime family law is discussed it seems to become a battle of the sexes thing (which I saw alot of in this thread) rather than having a system that creates true equality via nuanced laws. Laws and policies that will make it easier for people to met each other on an equal footing and form negotiated partnerships.
Kanyes_PhD ยท 3 points ยท Posted at 01:50:05 on June 7, 2017 ยท (Permalink)
My personal opinion is that it should be based on equality, but it seems like women are highly favored in family courts because of left over stigmas from previous generations that women are the care providers.
Flyingwheelbarrow ยท 2 points ยท Posted at 02:04:23 on June 7, 2017 ยท (Permalink)
Equality for everyone is a difficult but noble cause. Making good law takes experts and an educated public that supports them plus a political system that actually pays more than lip service to ideals of equality.

I have a story to tell:
When me and my friend were 18 he was telling me some pretty serious stuff about his family. Parents were divorced when he was very little and he used to always stay in his dads house. He'd spent a lot of time with his uncle too though and when it transpired that somehow his 'uncle' was his real dad but his 'dad' who had raised him his whole life had no idea. My friend was telling me about this and the only thing I could think of was that line
'18 years 18 years and on the 18th birthday he found out it wasn't his'
So I just kinda rapped it to him. It didn't help.

I think they were probably pretty evenly split in terms of Producer/Writer money from the show, plus Jerry would probably get additional pay as an actor, and Larry left a couple seasons early at it's peak popularity. Add in his Stand-up Career, a few movies, and his car show, and I'm sure he has Larry beat, even with Larry's Curb money.

His annual royalty checks from Seinfeld alone are in the tens of millions (at one point it was $60M per year, but that was a few years back). So, quite possibly. It's not like actors are publicly traded companies, though, so everything is going to be based off estimates and projections.

Probably up there. I believe he and Larry David both made a cool billion when they syndicated Seinfeld.
EDIT: My mistake, the syndication deal was worth $1.7 billion and Larry and Jerry each walked away with around $250 million plus whatever they make every time an episode is played (multiple times every day/night every day of the year) which some estimate earns them an additional $200 million a year.

Well, first he's not really an actor (he'd be the first to admit). And, he's also not that rich because of his acting. What he really is... is a comic. And he's also not super rich because of his comedy.
The reason he's super rich is because he is a creator and executive producer of one of the most popular shows in syndication. Since the show went off the air, it has earned billions of dollars in syndication revenue, earning Jerry hundreds of millions of dollars.

Yes, certainly. He's technically an actor. Sorry if it sounded like I was criticizing your comment. You're not wrong, and neither is Wikipedia.
My two points were simply:
Also note that the other stars of that series -- who really were actors, and very good ones -- made some good money on the show, and negotiated some DVD royalties, but have made next to nothing, compared to what Jerry has made, in his non-acting capacity.

Seinfeld was the most popular show during its run. By the end they were making millions. Then it got syndicated on like a dozen different networks, so every time you see a Seinfeld rerun he's getting a check. He also does stand up comedy shows in large venues occasionally.

More than just that, he and Larry David have profit sharing deals with the owner (I think it's Warner Bros), so when the rights are sold for airing (syndication, Hulu, etc.), he and David get a big cut. A few years back, a syndication deal was reported to net $400M each to David and Seinfeld. That's where the big money is at, in owning a piece of the actual product, instead of starring, producing, writing, etc.
AmericanSy ยท 153 points ยท Posted at 22:14:50 on June 6, 2017 ยท (Permalink)
The 400 million dollar check is mentioned when Larry David complains that an HBO executive stole some of his shrimp. That was a funny scene in the HBO special he did before Curb, if I am not mistaken. "Larry, you've got four hundred million dollars! I think you can afford more shrimp."
edit: And that was 20 years ago. He and Jerry have received multiple 250+ million dollar paydays. I bet they've pulled north of 750 at least. And that is not including the ungodly amount Jerry was paid to act on Seinfeld. He turned down 5 million per episode to do 2 more seasons. That's over 200 million he turned down for just acting.

Lottery money is dwarfed by Seinfeld money. Also, Jerry is smart and earned his riches over a period of time, most Lottery players are poor and don't have experience with money nearing the amount they are winning (obviously that's why they're playing the lottery).
You can't give money to everyone, but if you're smart and count your money, you can make a few people very wealthy, a small community comfortable, and a small troop of kids college educated without lo*sing it all.
Especially when you consider that Seinfeld continues to make money rather than just one huge sum all of a sudden.

You can plop 80% of it in a moderately safe mutual fund, retire, still have 50 million dollars left over and the interest from the rest will come in every month (enough for you to buy a new house and throw a party every single month).
Ignorant people lose that much money. Some more well-informed people might say you could see even larger gains by diversifying some of the money into more risky investments. The point is it would be very easy to live comfortably forever and still spend joyfully.

I hear this stat quoted all the time, but I've always wondered about the socio-economic status prior to winning the lottery. The types of people that most play the lottery are, I imagine, lower educated and poorer or they'd likely know the folly of attempting it in the first place. Wouldn't this then explain a less conservative, more frivolous spending of the money?
I'm genuinely asking because when I see this stat it often makes me wonder if I'd blow it all in that situation, and I just can't imagine how I could. I imagine historical data must've been gathered regarding the situation of those who have won, right?

That's not true. It's Arnold for Terminator 3.
Also it can't be right to begin with.
Sixth Sense did $673mm global. Let's say total revenues are $750mm.
And let's say he got 10% of First Dollar Gross (which is very generous). He'd still only make $75mm, and that would take 2-3 years to come in.
Sandra Bullock made $60mm for The Blindside, so even this extreme example doesn't seem to be the highest paycheck ever.
I know Nolan is getting $20mm and 20% of gross for Dunkirk. That could easily be $125-$150mm and that will probably be the record for some time.

Incidentally, that's exactly the kind of thing Netflix is attempting to eliminate in its current model. Instead of buying rights for X amount of time, they want to buy the full IP of everything they finance for perpetuity. You get paid a lump up front and its done.
I think this is a raw deal structure for creators as their work will continue earning the platform money presumably forever, but right now, Netflix is borrowing enough money to pay out big attractive lump sums.

I don't think it is a "raw deal" for creators at all, as a matter of fact I think it is about time they had to live under the same rules as people do in most all other industries. The creative industry is the only one that exists where somehow we as a society have decided that it is OK and fair for someone to do one piece of work and then get paid for it for the rest of their natural lives. It's a side effect of modern copyright law and its over arching and overly generous extensions.

While copyright law has far overstepped its bounds, that's just a result of the entrenched players of the entertainment industry lobbying to bend the law to their favor just like every other industry does. It has nothing to do with we as a society supporting entitlement attitudes. If anything that is real capitalism at work; those creators have bargaining power and they are using it. I don't think you get those kinds of deals if you're a nobody.

Isn't that like the best case scenario when you're an actor? I know I'd sure as hell like to be involved in as much production as possible. And making money off each credit isn't too bad either.

Well, you could be Louis CK and do every part of your show. Create, produce, direct, write, star, edit. If he could play the parts of the other actors, I assume he would. That would also let him do craft services because he'd just have to bring in the stuff he likes each day.
But he's on FX so he probably gets like $18 per episode. Some episodes really seem like that budget would fit.

In the episode "The Checks" Jerry receives hundreds of royalty checks from a Japanese television show worth about a quarter each. He gets carpal tunnel syndrome from having to sign all the royalty checks. This prevents him from being able to free three Japanese tourists who are stuck sleeping in a chest of drawers in Kramer's apartment.
Yes, I realize he's receiving the checks.

There's a Seinfeld episode based around signing checks you receive. There's a Simpson's episode based around signing checks you receive (source).
Now I've never given or received a check in my life, but for these to exist I have to believe you do in fact need to sign checks you receive. I know it's TV but these kind of plot points are generally based on reality.

Bart the Fink
"Bart the Fink" is the fifteenth episode of The Simpsons' seventh season. It originally aired on the Fox network in the United States on February 11, 1996. In this episode, Bart ruins Krusty the Clown's career by accidentally exposing Krusty as one of the biggest tax cheats in American history. Driven to despair, Krusty fakes a suicide in order to start life anew as a sailor; feeling guilty for what he did, Bart convinces Krusty to become a television clown again.

Potentially.
It really all boils down to the deal you sign though, we don't know what he and the network agreed to.
Jerry had a great deal, and it has paid off nicely. It's worth noting that Seinfeld wasn't just a good show though, it was a groundbreaking show at the time and had a true cult following. It's meta was unlike much else at the time, and all the "in jokes" really just added to the value.

Which sucks. As Jason points out in the link, the fact that Seinfeld is still being syndicated actually hurts his career in a way. Same with Richards. They both got so typecast and it's still happening.
When I learned this I always felt like Jerry and LD were acting like dicks, but then I realized that they are actually dicks, they don't even hide the fact. They embrace it. So w/e I'll still watch Seinfeld when it's on because it's better than most anything else on today.

It's even crazier considering it's still, consistently broadcast on a nightly basis on multiple television networks. There aren't many other shows that are that widespread or still broadcast in syndication for that long.
Even Friends isn't broadcast that often anymore, but Seinfeld is still running strong on Fox, Peachtree, and many other networks.

That's called syndication, and Seinfeld is definitely the top dog. It's why he and Larry David could simply not work ever again, and still have enough money to keep them, and their next few generations, rich.
Larry David executive produced and wrote on the show, so that's 2 syndication checks coming his way for every re-run, and Jerry wrote, produced, and starred in it.. Pretty much set for life+.

Same in Poland. Friends still are in reruns (each year in different, more obscure channel) and I've never seen Seinfeld on TV. If I'd have to judge classic older US shows popularity only on the base of polish TV reruns over the years I'd say Friends, big gap, than maybe M.A.S.H. Which I'm ok with, M.A.S.H. is still awesome.
No Seinfeld. I think it's because Seinfeld is more hermetic.

Have you ever been to New York City? I think Seinfeld is also one of the great period pieces about NYC in the '90s, and I'm curious how that might have influenced your expectation / excitement. Does your spoken English have any New Yorker in it?
young_senti ยท 4 points ยท Posted at 22:45:23 on June 6, 2017 ยท (Permalink)
Yeah, I've been to NYC, and it was cool recognizing stuff from the show, but I have always been very into pop culture so I had loads of expectations from watching all types of different movies/tv shows from NYC, not specifically just Seinfeld. It was like walking around inside of my tv screen, haha. My spoken english is a pretty "bland" american version. Almost everything on tv in Norway is in english, so you pick up your spoken english from a whole variety of "accents." I do enjoy the way they speak in Seinfeld and NYC in general though. I have actually watched videos on youtube trying to emulate it, but I was never any good at it.

Yeah I also loved Seinfeld growing up, but it took on new layers after living here for a while as an adult.
Having lived in the Upper West Side (where Jerry / Elaine / Kramer lived), the outer borough of Queens (where George and his parents lived), and downtown in the East Village (where Kramer calls from panicking) the hometown resonance of the show is just perfect.

probably because friends is slewn with american pop culture that seinfeld simply does not have, thus it has global appeal due to its exportable americanism.
seinfeld is essentially the anti-americanism, the way of life of people who aren't deemed as the global ambassadors of america, aka, real people.

I can't say anything about USA, that's why it was a maybe. However, as a European who travels a lot I can tell you that people in every country of EU know and love Friends and Seinfeld is basically unknown, it wasn't even translated to most languages and didn't run.
Also, wikipedia doesn't agree with you on the most popular series, Friends and Seinfeld have a 2:2 tie.
edit: the problem with metrics is that we don't actually do them like you, or at least they're not in an open access, so I just can't google it, everything I try just shows me US stats.

I love Seinfeld and I actually watched it for the first time just last year, so I don't argue about how big, awesome and important it was. But it never happened in Europe, I don't know why. Maybe the humour is different. You know, it does beed a few episodes or even seasons to get you on.
Oh and we don't do stand ups much, so some stand up comedian from US with a show of his own name? Huh? That's just not our thing.
And finally, how do you sell a show about nothing?

I mean, who is the audience for Seinfeld? Friends are about a young and attractive group of people, who are fun and quirky, living in a big city and their dreams come true eventually.
Seinfeld though! A group of sociopaths who don't learn, don't evolve, make people around them miserable and in the end they're literally at the same spot they begin. Seinfeld is not a story, it's a random array of situations, basically. That's why it's so good to rewatch or catch on tv - you can watch it from any episode and don't lose much 'world'.
Maybe, this?

Even today, it's one of the most highest rated shows on TV for it's time slot. In the US, three different TV networks air at least 2 episodes of Seinfeld per day. This costs the TV show very little money; all they have to do is pay for the syndication rights. They get advertisers during that timeslot that pay a decennt amount. It's free money for the networks, they don't have to do any work to make content to put on TV. And it's free money for those with the syndication rights: split between NBC, Seinfeld, David, and a few others. All you have to do is make a genius show, and you'll be living off royalties for the rest of your life.

There are tons of shows nearly as popular as Seinfield in the history. You are leaving out A LOT....it's that he was a co-creator and negotiated very well at a time when syndication was HUGE.
So basically a show being super popular, being a creator/writer/actor, and timing in tv syndication history lead to him being worth SOOOOOOO much.
Oprah still has him beat.

Don't forget Hulu picked up the streaming rights. All seasons locked down to one platform. That sure as hell cost a ton for he rights. At the very least, maybe every time an episode is streamed he's paid like five cents or something but I've already rewatched the seasons like 3 times ( my go to background or just screw around show to watch when I'm tired or down time at work ) I can imagine it's very popular on Hulu so whether he gets a percentage or was paid a bulk sum , that shit alone paid out millions.

IIRC, before the show ended, the network offered Jerry $1 million per episode for another season and he refused. Assuming he was making anywhere close to that beforehand, it's easy to imagine he had earned $50m-$100m just from the original run of the show. That kind of money buys you access to the best investment opportunities and the best financial advisers, so even without money coming in from syndication or other sources, it's easy to imagine he was able to grow that money substantially.

Different to say, Friends, which also made a ton of money, but it was almost evenly divided by a bunch of actors, and then only the actors salary, they didn't produce or directed.
Not to mention he probably was smart about investing that money and not wasting it in superfluous things, plus, I think no divorces :)

You also have to consider the era. Network TV had way bigger audiences tuning in back then than they do today with all the competition for eyeballs.
Example:
The Big Bang Theory was the #1 show last year and didn't even average 20 million viewers per episode.
Seinfeld in it's first year, before it was a hit when it was on a crappy night in a crappy time slot still brought in 22 million viewers. At it's height seasons later it was around 75 million viewers. You're talking about market share and tv ad dollars that the major networks and tv show creators will never, ever see again.
He was basically the John D. Rockefeller of sitcoms. The right product at the time and when America was buying it the most.
Edit: Sources are just wikipedia for each show. The Big Bang Theory actually dipped this season. It's all time high was the previous year with just barely 20.36 mil average.

Syndication is key. If you can get a network to run your show again, it's all money for no work. Similar to musicians who are a one-hit-wonder but their maybe one song is used in commercials and bumper music and whatnot, that you can be loaded for life...for one song.

When he and Larry David sold Seinfeld into syndication they each made 250 million dollars. Also he was one of the highest paid tv actor in the 90s making north of a million an episode for 9 seasons. Plus Amex endorsements. Then add the interest on it all and you get a billionaire basically.

Seinfeld was like the Superbowl of TV fiction, broke all sorts of records and basically created a genre, and he was at the head of it in multiple ways. When you're taking a sizeable percentage of something that big, you make a lot of money. If it goes worldwide, does well in home video and so on, those are vast amounts of sales and viewers. NBC reportedly offered him over $100 million to make another series, and they would have expected a profit.
It's easy to forget, or not know, just how enormous the sums of money involved in TV can be. Netflix recently paid Dave Chappelle $60 million for three specials.

Yes. A million dollars sounds like a lot to the average person, but when you have 30 million viewers, that's $0.33/viewer. I don't know anything about the costs to make the show (there are tons of people involved who all need to be paid) or what kind of rates advertisers pay per expected viewer, but when you're multiplying everything by such a large factor, small things really add up.
Lots of movies make over $100m in their opening weekends. The economics of movies is slightly more transparent than tv because the consumer is paying directly for their ticket, instead of paying for a subscription to a service or having a third party (advertisers) pay for their ticket, but it should make it clear the scale of money involved at the upper end of the spectrum.

It seems to be the show that kinda popularized the sitcom sub genre where things don't work out for the characters because of their own terrible personalities and stupidity. Also before Seinfeld sitcoms were wholesome and usually had some central lesson to teach the audience. ie, Full House, Cosby Show, Facts Of Life, etc. The characters on Seinfeld never learned any lessons and rarely did anything good for anybody.

None, it just seemed original at the time because the '70s and '80s TV shows were drastically realigning racially, writing individual scripts that tackled single new political issues each week, conceiving entire premises to address shifting gender roles, living situations and rebut demographic stereotypes (Mr. Belvedere, Charles in Charge, Who's the Boss, Three's Company) or creating tension with opposite-gender leads (Night Court, Cheers) or generational/political rifts (Family Ties, Coach). Seinfeld and David were baby-boomers, and New York guys who'd already worked in entertainment, so their autobiographical work was actually pretty relate-able to younger network execs at the time, to the point that they were invested enough in it to ignore bad testing and initially low ratings. Then Mad About You came along right at the time the old sitcoms were getting cancelled, and along with early romantic comedies cemented the template for Friends and most other sitcoms for the '90s.

Yup. Back in the late 90s sitcoms were the place to be. Ray Romano of "Everybody Loves Raymond" was earning $1.8mm per episode, and while it was pretty big it was no Seinfeld or Friends.

Going from $0 to $5m is absolutely murder worthy (I mean, don't kill anyone, but you get it).
Going from like $500m to $505m is more of an inconvenience than anything for the effort required.

he and larry david are the creators, they structured the show in such a way that all dvd and streaming revenue and i believe most of the syndication money goes directly to them, the other elements of the show got paid for the episodes at the time, but very little residuals.

Yea like others said, if you look up what he makes just from Seinfeld syndication it's ridiculous. Like 80mil a year at one point or something. Plus Hulu recently picked it up as well, that wasnt cheap. In the last 20 years you usually can't turn the tv on without an episode or 2 of Seinfeld on somewhere at some point.

He literally said he didn't know who she was. He didn't not hug her because he knew and didn't care. He didn't hug her because he didn't know who she was, and so was confronted by an enthusiastic stranger, which can be alarming. So your comment might be true but it's a complete non sequitur and irrelevant as a response to this clip. This long ass diatribe is how I'm dealing with the rage I feel about your totally wrong interpretation, and piss poor comprehension.

That's not true. MASH is probably more popular. When it aired it would pull 50+ point ratings. Meaning over half of TVs in the country were tuned into the telecast. Seinfeld never hit that type of rating. Plus, the MASH finale had 105 million people watching when it aired. Seinfelds finale had 76m viewers. MASH's viewership record stood until the 2009 Super Bowl.

So because he was the guy who wrote it and produced it, instead of some big company creating it and making the money, he went solo and just did it himself aye? Thats pretty sweet, I had no idea there was THAT much money in it all, but making money off the re-runs ensure he will be filthy rich forever.

Doesn't help that I don't think I've ever seen two pictures of Kesha where she looked the same. Kinda like Lady Gaga for a few years, had no fucking clue what she actually looked like, just knew about all the crazy ass makeup and outfits.

She was pretty popular for a while. She had several songs on the billboard and they were catchy as hell. Then she kind of fell off the face of the earth. (Looked up why that might be on Wikipedia and seems she is, or was, in some kind of legal battle with her producer/stuido. So that is maybe a reason why she hasn't put anything out in years.)

She, in my opinion, has a very unique look compared to most blonde pop stars. Her face doesn't really look like a typical starlette to me.
That doesn't really matter though, because if you wouldn't recognize someone, then you wouldn't recognize someone, regardless of how unique they looked. Why did I even comment?

I don't think it would have mattered at all. She actually said "I'm Kesha" when she first interrupted him, though maybe he didn't hear that.
But it's beside the point. I don't think he likes giving hugs.

Jerry is a Germaphobe/suffers from slight obsesive compulsiveness. Larry probably too but not so much.
So I think you have more chance of a hiu with David.

Idk where you're from but us on the east coast try to respect each other's space. I think it has something to do with being from a much more crowded part of the country. I can definitely say that people I don't know very well trying to hug me would catch me off guard and seem really strange to me.

For me, personally, I would only hug someone that a) I haven't seen in a long time, and have known then for more than 2 meetings (or longer than that, obviously) and b) if I know then really well. It's like asking "Can I have a kiss, on this, our first date?". That's affection, that's also showing/accepting affection. Nothing really dangerous about it in the conventional sense (STD/I's aside).
It's a comfort level that I'm am not prepared to have or open up with 85% of people, and/or a person I have only met twice. The other 25% of people, yeah sure I'll hug, but if there's a reason. Not just for seeing them again this week...

I don't necessarily like hugs, but I recognize their utility. But yeah being a spergy loser is probably how many people like you tend to function. It's just not healthy for social creatures to act anti social, if you don't know that you don't know anything.

Our "nature" as social creatures has many true, real-life implications, but the only reason an animal would embrace another animal that it doesn't know intimately in a "friendly manner" is as a show of submission/not a threat.
To me, it's offputting that a person would feel the need to make that public display to someone they barely know...it raises flags.

It doesn't have to be about germophobia. Some people, myself included, just prefer to keep our personal space, and have no interest in hugging strangers.
I understand there are harmless "huggers" out there, and don't really blame them for trying it. But if you're going to put yourself out there without considering my feelings, don't be upset when you get rejected.

There are definitely people out there who will try and hug you regardless of your personal wishes. Even if you specifically state you hate it, and you need personal space to be comfortable, they will anyways because 'its just who they are' or 'just try it and youll change your mind' or 'stop being a grump'.
Disclaimer: I love hugs.

I have a hard time empathizing with this kind of situation. Short of being caused a panic attack, I can't imagine being willing to embarrass someone with rejection over dealing with a hug that lasts a few seconds and likely will never be on my mind again.
To me, the discomfort of rejection would far outweigh the discomfort of just letting the person hug you. Not everyone is the same of course, but I'm just saying I'm having a hard time wrapping my head around that decision.

That makes sense tho, more germs in people's hands, while torsos are relatively cleaner, plus if your hands get dirty (as a germophobe) it's a lot more inconvenient than if your torso does, hands you'll have to wash, torso as long as you don't touch it you're good.

When I'm at work and go take a trump in the bathroom;

Skithana ยท 1 points ยท Posted at 16:25:36 on June 8, 2017 ยท (Permalink)
I mean do you rub your hands all over your torso before tucking your shirt or something?
When you tuck your shirt, that's more of the waist area than the torso itself, and most of what you tuck ends up inside your pants, plus even if otherwise, you still have to keep in mind:
Not everyone will have taken a dump when you say hi to them.
Even if they have, not everyone tucks their shirt right after, or at all.
Even IF in your situation, or worse, the scenario I posed afterwards, yes, as I said in the previous post, even having a dirty torso is generally better than having dirty hands.

had dicks rammed in my mouthwas molested when I was four years old and I'm NOT a fan of being touched. Don't touch me. I shouldn't have to explain I'm a sex abuse survivor. I was humiliated in high school when some random kid tried to hug me from behind, I was triggered, and I started screaming and spazzing out on the poor kid. I apologized to him as an adult, and he apologized, too. All was well, just dooooon't touch me.I won't jump your shit anymore if you do, but it took a decade of therapy to get there. Now I'm working on hugging back. I'm known for being not-touchy-feely.

I just told my neighbor yesterday "you might want to keep your dog on a leash, they will fine you, and my dog is not friendly." He dragged his dog inside, and mumbled "well MY dog is friendly". Like okay dude, but my dog will kill your dog if it comes up to us, so... Maybe just keep it on a leash like everyone else, and don't worry about it. Made me feel like I was being a jerk for saying something.
Edit: Jesus people, I didn't mean he would literally kill them. It was hyperbole meaning that my dog is a stranger to the other dog, much bigger, and you don't know if he is friendly or not, so keep yours on a leash! Sorry for my poor wording, but stop acting like I'm walking around like Michael Vick! It's my girlfriends dog, and he is very sweet. Chill out.

Congratulations, your dogs behavior would get it put down if animal control or any state agency knew this. That is far, FAR outside of acceptable behavior for an animal.
You are. I've worked with animals, animal shelters and control. If your dog is a threat when other dogs approach to that level you're probably breaking local ordinances taking it out in public without at bare minimum a muzzle
To be perfectly blunt: put your dog through behavior classes or accept that when it actually hurts another animal or person it will be taken from you, and you may well be liable.
Your neighbor should and would also be completely in his rights to notify animal control that there is an aggressive dog not being kept muzzled.

I follow leash and muzzle laws. I follow any rules and regulations I need to. If another strange dog runs up to mine, in an area where they are supposed to be restrained, then my dog would not necessarily be at fault. Even with a muzzle, my big dog could potentially do it harm. He is not a rabid beast that attacks everything, I was being hyperbolic and making a point when I said that my dog would "kill" his. I meant that he COULD kill him, because he is much bigger, and so therefore It doesn't matter if his dog is friendly. It is very common for dogs to get territorial, and not instantly be friendly. If he really wants to protect his dog, he will follow the laws and put it on a leash. Just like I do. Neither I or my dog know if yours is friendly, and vice versa. Keep your damn dog on a leash in areas that require it, and there will be zero problems. End of story.

Another analogy would be; Just because you have a walk signal doesn't mean it is safe to walk. Look both ways before crossing, because my car weighs 2 tons and will kill you if it hits you. Again, not perfect wording, but do you understand what I meant now? It doesn't mean that I plan on running red lights, or that I think that is okay to hit people. I am saying there is a responsibility on the other dog owners part to leash him, because of a very severe potential consequence that is easily avoidable.

This wasn't just someone seeing their favourite comedian and going in for an inappropriately intimate greeting. This was a Z-list has-been interrupting a world famous comedian's on camera, possibly live interview, and then trying to hug him even though they'd never met.

So what you're saying is that if a stranger approaches you (especially on camera) and demands you engage in a physical (and often considered intimate) act with them....you should. Otherwise it's seen and rude and disrespectful?

Get off your high horse. It's a god damn hug, not a blow job. I agree what she did was rude in the situation but it's a lot ruder to reject someone rather than to just give them a tiny hug that would probably mean a lot to them.
MrDFx ยท 5 points ยท Posted at 21:34:08 on June 6, 2017 ยท (Permalink)
I'm not on a high horse and I'm being 100% serious in my opinion on personal space and personal interactions.
I don't care if it's a hug, kiss, hand-job or full on fucking. Nobody has social license to force themselves upon you if you're not comfortable with it for any reason.
Consider that it's common for people have personal space issues, histories of abuse, germ phobias, or just straight up don't like strangers touching them. If I were to force myself upon a stranger (for a hug) and then think it's "rude" when they reject me, I would just be showing a lack of external perspective.
Also, he politely said "no thanks" several times and ended with "I wish her well". Rude would have been "who the fuck is this crazy bitch trying to hug me? I don't know her".
Hell, if you want to get a bit meta about it... her rudeness forced him into an awkward situation where he wasn't comfortable and had to reject her (and debatably act rude towards her). She initiated the entire thing and was the cause of any rudeness or disrespect.
You shouldn't be forced to hug (or physically interact) with anyone if you're not comfortable with it. Just because it's "expected" doesn't mean you can't politely say "no thanks".
Final thought: Consider the number of people who recognize Jerry on the street and ask for a hug. Perhaps he's tired of strangers interrupting and embracing him? Perhaps he's not comfortable with his personal space being interrupted. Perhaps he's had people grope his ass or try and steal his wallet mid-hug. We'll never know his reasons but the bottom line is that he wasn't comfortable and said no politely.
TL;DR: Jerry was making the best of an awkward situation while trying to remain polite.

This. Why would anyone want to hug a random stranger?
Imagine walking up to a non-acquaintance in a convenience store: "OMG I LOVE YOUR OUTFIT...HUG ME!!!" That would be awkward as fuck.
So why would anyone think that's OK to do to someone just because they are a celebrity? It's creepy as hell. Kesha's got issues.

True, but the difference is Seinfeld is a public figure, and a widely-known one too.
It's ok to politely ask, and it's ok for them to politely decline, but the notion is that well your success came from fans who support your work, of course they're going to want to meet you and perhaps give you a hug or handshake. They are what made your career.

Most of you are probably too young for this, but when he hosted that "pretty girl opens the box" show he talked about this in interviews. How he never shaked hands or high-fived anybody because of his condition. He would do a "fist bump" thing, I think, though.

I have OCD and I'm fine with hugging people (At least from a germ perspective, not really from a personal space perspective), I'm actually fine with touching peoples clothes too, but I don't like touching peoples hands. I'd probably not like touching the sleeve near someones hands either because of the contact with their hands, but I've never really experienced that, so I don't know.
Either way, I'd probably have to wash my hands afterwards.

I usually just shake hands, and then worry about it for the rest of the time until I can wash my hands, and usually anything I commonly use that I touched before washing my hands... It's really quite annoying, but I can't help it of course.

His character on the show was a borderline germaphobe (he'd throw away shoelaces if they came untied in a men's room), but in his standup he talks about things like eating abandoned food off of room service carts outside hotel doors. Could be just a bit, but his stand-up seems closer to his real personality than the Jerry character.

It was a big plot device on Seinfeld. And he states pretty clearly that a lot of his character from the show was true to life. So I would figure so.

George: Jerry, you got to call her people and set up a press conference and do a make up hug.
Jerry: I'm not calling a press conference for a hug.
Kramer: Are you going to go for a side hug or full upper body contact hug? Cause a side hug doesn't count as a real hug.
George: But a full body hug for a man of your age with a woman of that age, that might be considered creepy.

I was getting gas last week and had a super urgent shit develop, so I went in the gas station and someone was in there! So I waited a couple minutes until the guy came out. (He was an employee.)
I expelled my excrement from my anus and reached for the toilet paper only to find it was out. Damn fucker should have told me! It seems like common courtesy to imform the next patron of the bathroom that they won't be able to clean their asscrack.
You know how gross putting your pants and underwear back on without wiping feels? I washed my hands and left the gas station feeling disgusting then drove home and changed. To my surprise, it must have been a pretty clean shit, because it left no trace on my boxers.

And no offence to Kesha but she always looks really dirty. So Jerry probably thought some dirty stranger was trying to get hug, during the middle of an interview. Maybe he thought she was groupie or homeless lady. He is still a dick, but not really in this instance.

Yup. Whether or not the rape stuff with that DJ Luke guy or whatever his name is true, the music industry treats artists like disposable shit a lot of the times and I feel bad for them. I know she's been hanging out with Ben Folds too who's a really good guy and made me think maybe Kesha isn't so bad. Also Sony basically won't let her do any new work with him or anyone else since they have her under contract and the courts won't let her out of it.

SwatchVineyard ยท 3 points ยท Posted at 21:25:27 on June 6, 2017 ยท (Permalink)
I think they are referring to the whole label fallout and sexual & psychological harassment/abuse scandal. Allegedly she "sued producer Dr. Luke for alleged sexual assault and battery, sexual harassment, gender violence, emotional abuse, and violation of California business practices which had occurred over 10 years working together". She tried to file an injunction to get out of her label during the suit. They denied her that, then they threw out all her claims against Dr.Luke accept for one. She's also been in rehab for struggling with an eating disorder, which she alleges wasn't caused by, but definitely reinforced by Dr.Lukes constant barrage about her looks. This fallout started in 2014. She's still stuck in the label. I remember when the "megathread" about it was up in Music, I believe. The general consensus, sans a few of the typical reddit responses for cases female abuse, was sympathy for her given the nature of the verdict. Now it looks like Dr.Luke has left the label and Sony, but lawyers have said that it means it will be much harder to get her out now. Apparently she is still in a lawsuit with him after all of these years, and will continue to be with his countersuit coming in. I imagine her pockets have been slowly draining from all of these legal fees over the years and it will continue.
I don't really have an opinion either way because I don't know more than some stuff I have read. I can still sympathize with both sides. I wasn't trying to make a point, just give context as to why people generally feel bad for her.
wredditcrew ยท 3 points ยท Posted at 21:41:37 on June 6, 2017 ยท (Permalink)
And they allegedly wouldn't let her release music either.
She couldn't leave her contract until she'd released a number of albums. But they decided what got released not her.
She could just keep recording and recording, but if Sony didn't decide to release it, she never gets to release music or get out of her contract.
I've not seen her contract, so I can't confirm. It seems like a fucked up way of doing business, but that's what I was told.
SwatchVineyard ยท 1 points ยท Posted at 21:51:44 on June 6, 2017 ยท (Permalink)
Yeah, my thoughts about this, is that the more I dig into it, the messier and messier it gets. It just seems like the girl broke and wanted out, only to spend years, energy, and loads of money fighting Sony and Luke over this, only to have to give up and remain in this loop. She signed her life away when she was only 18. It must suck to finally grow up and learn about life, only to end up in a situation you can't change. I would hope that when I was 30, regardless of wealth, I would have gained even more freedom through experience and not less.

TBH I always thought Kesha was extremely unfairly criticized. She's actually a talented musician who writes shitty pop songs, and if you actually listen to the composition of her songs it really shows that she is talented.
And I'm someone who despises pop music. I grew up in the Punk/Metal/Industrial scenes and always am looking for a new counterculture, but I have a lot of respect for her.

But she looked pretty done up in this clip. I doubt it had anything to do with her look. He just didn't know who she was and he's not interested in fake hugs with young girls he doesn't know.

I feel like if she said "Hi, I'm Kesha - i'm a singer/songwriter, but you may not have heard of me. I'm a huge fan of yours though, can I just get a quick hug?" ... he would have had no problem. Just politely preface what you're doing, stroke the ego a bit, and any weirdness is diffused. I mean, he doesn't know if she's some random gate crasher, a stalker...for all he knows, it's best to just avoid the encounter.

I do think a lot of these interviews on red carpet are impromptu and very brief...and there can be a lot of them. So there may not ever really be a good opportunity for them and the interruptions seem to happen a lot. (i.e. the failed attempt of Amy tripping by Kanye)

You are 100% right. These are usually 30-60 second interviews and then they move on to the next. Start interrupt each other all the time. He was being a dick just because he's a dick and didn't recognize her so just didn't want to hug her.

I agree. He probably had no clue and/or just didn't want to hug somebody. However, as much as I love his comedy and Seinfeld, he is notoriously a huge asshole lol.

Sorry, but that's just wrong. These things happen all the time -- artist interrupting each other on the carpet. But since nobody like KESHA, it's okay to say Jerry did nothing wrong. But if the roles were reversed or if it was another celebrity, all you fuckers would have said "can you believe that bitch rejected Jerry like that??"

It seemed like the nicest way to reject a hug. I think Seinfeld is the kind of person who doesn't like being touched by people he knows, much less strangers.

At least Kesha handled the rejection pretty well; didn't try to press the issue and walked away before it became awkward. And Jerry will probably know who she is by the next time she meets him so maybe she'll get her hug then (though he doesn't really strike me as the hugging type.)

Shit, the lawsuit says he raped her in the ass and wouldn't let her free of her contract.
Can you imagine that? A successful artist gets raped by her producer and is contract bound?
What does it for me is that of she said nothing she would still be in the charts, doing music. She decided the guy was a fucker who needed to be fought against, even if it would cost her her career. And it did.
With that downside, it is very unlikely someone would file frivolous claims.
Such a shame she has that beard fetish :P

Kesha
Kesha Rose Sebert (/หkษสษ roสz หsษbษrt/ KESH-ษ ROHZ SEB-ษrt; born March 1, 1987; formerly stylized as Ke$ha) is an American singer, songwriter, and rapper. In 2005, at age 18, Kesha was signed to producer Dr. Luke's label Kemosabe Records. Her breakthrough came in early 2009 after appearing on American rapper Flo Rida's number-one single "Right Round".

It's ok, she got revenge on him by making terrible pop music which would be listened to and imitated by young girls everywhere - leading to countless embarrassing acts.
Source: had to watch in horror years ago when an 11 year old niece put on a dance during a family get together to the song 'tick tock'. I'm likely scarred for life thanks to Kesha.
Edit: considering the negativity received, I'm not referring to the sexual abuse she apparently suffered. That would be awful for anyone and clearly inhumane. My comment referring to 'getting revenge' was specifically in reference to the body shaming parent comment.
In fact, the lifestyle she promotes isn't even cool for anyone of any age, and is also fairly toxic in itself. Thanks.

I saw Ryan Gosling at a grocery store in Los Angeles yesterday. I told him how cool it was to meet him in person, but I didnโt want to be a douche and bother him and ask him for photos or anything. He said, โOh, like youโre doing now?โ I was taken aback, and all I could say was โHuh?โ but he kept cutting me off and going โhuh? huh? huh?โ and closing his hand shut in front of my face. I walked away and continued with my shopping, and I heard him chuckle as I walked off. When I came to pay for my stuff up front I saw him trying to walk out the doors with like fifteen Milky Ways in his hands without paying.
The girl at the counter was very nice about it and professional, and was like โSir, you need to pay for those first.โ At first he kept pretending to be tired and not hear her, but eventually turned back around and brought them to the counter.
When she took one of the bars and started scanning it multiple times, he stopped her and told her to scan them each individually โto prevent any electrical infetterence,โ and then turned around and winked at me. I donโt even think thatโs a word. After she scanned each bar and put them in a bag and started to say the price, he kept interrupting her by yawning really loudly.
Paul Rudd was there too though and he was super nice.

But in this scenario it's the age thing that makes it okay or not okay. If we had a scenario of a five year old kid running up to a famous movie star and asking for a hug, that's an entirely different scenario than a full grown adult running up to a five year old movie star and asking for a hug. The gender aspect isn't what makes it appropriate or not appropriate here.

That there was nothing "not nice" about how he rejected her that's the point. Just because he's an older male doesn't mean it's "not nice" to reject a young female from a hug you don't want.

Let me hold your hand through this. I'm saying people think it's "not nice" because it was a man rejecting a women. It is a bias where that seems mean but if it was a young women rejecting an older man for a hug people would think it was fine and the guy was creepy.
The point is when a stranger wants to hug you it is perfectly nice to reject it. I was trying to illustrate that point by switching roles.

Well yeah, because an old man wanting to hug a young woman can be kinda weird. But people would also think that it's rude if it was Kesha rejecting Seinfeld the same way. It would probably be even worse than this since Reddit hates Kesha and like Seinfeld. I can already see the comments calling her a stuck up bitch who thinks she is better than she is.

Except it absolutely is. Everyone's appearance can be improved with plastic surgery, and it's doubly important for people whose careers depend on it. People just have no idea what plastic surgery does and assume it's overfilling on botox like Joan Rivers or getting a nosejob that makes you look like Michael Jackson. Even everyone's fav ScarJo has had plastic surgery on her nose, as well as people like Beyonce and Lady Gaga. Marilyn Monroe even had it. If you don't know what you're talking about, you shouldn't really pretend like you do.
And things like lipo to get an even more perfect stomach and small breast or butt implants can greatly improve a person's already fit body while looking natural to the untrained eye (like yours).

Imagine being famous, people always wanting to hug you, shake hands, touch you, follow you. You're doing an interview and someone comes up to you interrupts says they love you and wants a hug. You don't know who they are, who cares if they have loads of makeup on and are attractive, you might not think so in that moment. You don't want a hug, this person put you on the spot on live TV.

If a random stranger just interrupted you and asked for a hug, turning them down is the appropriate thing to do.
Kesha should have introduced herself and at least established a dialogue before just randomly asking to invade his space.
GameStunts ยท 1 points ยท Posted at 22:25:18 on June 6, 2017 ยท (Permalink)
I feel like he did it the best way possible though, he wasn't insulting, he didn't make any bad remarks about her, he just has personal space, and didn't want the hug, despite her making an advance three times, he even gave ground to her.
Not to mention he's in the middle of an interview.
All in all, I get that she's embarrassed but she tried to force it on him and he was very straight forward in rejecting it.

I don't feel bad for her, respecting someone and looking up to them is great, but you shouldn't take it personally if they don't want to embrace you as someone they don't know. It would have been way better to wait until he wasn't being interviewed, and she could have introduced herself and what she does, and mentioned that she's a fan of his work. Moving in on someone who's a stranger to you (even if she feels like she knows Seinfeld, they're still strangers), saying "I love you" and expecting them to hug you is pretty childish.

You kinda ask for rejection when you run up to someone out of the blue, catch them completely off guard, and in the middle of them doing something though. Even the most hugable person might have rejected that one, at least at first. Jerry doesn't seem like the kind of man who wants to get hugs from strangers at any given situation though.

Extend your right hand, in an attempt to prompt them to shake your hand. If they are still coming at you for a hug just put your left hand on their upper arm, like it's one of those "congratulatory handshakes" where you put the other hand on their arm, then just shake their hand with your right hand.
You can deflect a hug fairly smoothly with this in many cases.
Of course, this assumes that you are OK with touching their hand. If you don't want to even shake their hand, it's no use.
Note: if you are a man and she is a woman then as a result of traditional gender rules you may feel awkward going for a handshake with a woman - deal with it, it's not really a big issue these days.

Jerry did an Ama i believe (or maybe it was just a magazine interview), where he stated his stance on etiquette when meeting celebrities, which is basically that when you're meeting a complete stranger that you know and love from the characters they play in film, don't treat them as that character that you know from watching them a bazillion times, but offer them the respect of meeting a person for the first time. I believe he specifically mentioned people going "Hey Jerrry!" And going in for a hug, because it assumes familiarity and treats Jerry like the character, not IRL Jerry.
It would be consistent with this view that he would be irked at some passing hip hop star tried to hug him, DURING an interview. That's not only plain rude, but it's a subtle expression of one's percieved stardom.

Thanks. It's a Martin Backpacker with nylon strings. Was with me for roughly 1,500 miles on the Appalachian Trail and all over the country on other trips. The thing is pretty indestructible as long as you're willing to glue it back together.
Heat and humidity took its toll. The bridge broke off once. Warps and cracks developed on the top face. The sides started to come apart from the body. Nothing a bit of glue couldn't fix.

So, when I was about 10 years old my mother took me and my sister who was 12 to the New York Public Library. My sister and I were sitting on the steps while my mother was talking with my Grandma. My sister turns to me and goes I think that was Jerry Seinfeld that just walked by. She convinces me to run down the block and see if it was really him. After about half a block he realizes two kids are chasing after him in their Charlotte Hornets and Jacksonville Jaguar starter jackets and turns around looks at us with a big smile and goes "Hey It's You!".

She didnโt press him. She asked and he said no. Then she said please? And he said no again and then she went away. I mean asking isnโt a problem, god for bid she really wanted a hug from someone she admired, so she asked politely twice and then when he said no she walked away. Itโs not like she overstepped a boundary, people are allowed to ask for things. If she had no complied with his answer and then jumped on him or something then yes, that would be overstepping on her part. This was still not nice of him at all. But hey, heโs allowed to answer her question and not give her a hug so, thatโs the dude for ya. Still a dick move in my opinion.

The oh so many reasons Jerry didn't have to accept the hug from Ke$ha:
1.) "Can I give you a hug?" is a yes or no question, and he's within his right to deny her the hug. 2.) He has what appears to be an extremely expensive suit, and she has tons of glitter on her, which can ruin it. 3.) Germs. 4.) Legal reasons (i.e.: Sex Allegations). 5.) Rejecting a hug from an [otherwise irresistibly attractive/charming/seductive/etc., and yet] utterly narcissistic self-absorbed woman with a gross sense of entitlement is such a profound (and/or perhaps cynical) expression of self-control. 6.) He's married (right?). 7.) She rudely interrupted the interview, and was perhaps attempting to steal his spotlight.
There're probably more valid reasons as to why Jerry should reject her hug, as well as anyone else's, but I think the above reasons are more than enough, in my honest opinion.

Why would Kesha assume Seinfeld would know who she is? Does he really come across as a guy who stays up to date grime-pop club music? For all he knew she was a longtime stalker who had finally made it past security.

I have a decent group of friends and none have issue with someone declining an invite when you don't feel like doing something. None of us expect the other to do "insignificant things that you don't want to" just to maintain the friendship. Friendship should never = obligation. So take your "common sense" and kick rocks.

doing things for others is a sign of caring for them. i like caring for my friends, and i like having friends that care for me. and if you don't do things for your friends, and vice-versa, how do you know that you actually care for each other and aren't just killing time together until it's no longer convenient?
recently a friend invited my wife and i to do something that neither of us had any interest in. but it was his new-ish girlfriend's idea, and he was concerned that turnout would be low, so we happily obliged. at that time we would have been happier staying in but in the long run we're much happier for having affirmed a friendship with someone who has been there for us when we need him.

You act like we don't do anything for each other. We don't force each other to do things that the other person doesn't want to do. Everything you're saying about your friends is true of mine except you can't grasp friendship means many different things to many different people.

They are saying it's good to be balanced and at times do things with friends you wouldn't normally want to do, this is a good way to maintain friendships and show you care, and if you don't you might lose friends. Then you come in and say this isn't true, my friends and I don't do this therefore it's false. It went from general good advice at maintaining friendships based off of common knowledge on how friendships usually work, to you denying the validity of this advice because of how you and your specific group of friends operate. Analogy: Apples are healthy for people, No, apples make me sick therefore apples are not good for anyone.

Friendship obviously isn't a ledger balance, but unless you are blessed with friends who like everything you do to the same degree you do, you will find times where you would prefer to be doing something else. Leaving them displays disinterest, while forcing change builds resentment.
To be satisfied doing what you don't prefer because you are doing it with someone else is the sign of your friendship to them. Reciprocity is the sign of a healthy friendship for all.

Like /u/KingOfShrimp said, it's not some sort of balancing act where you have to "match" favors. For example, my best friend often asks me to try shows that don't much interest me. I try them because I know that even if I dont like the show, I get to watch it with my friend, so it will be fun either way.
Likewise, he does things with me that might not always be the thing he wants to do at that moment. That's just how it works. If we never did any of these things together, we wouldn't have much a friendship.

There was no segway, but his whole point was that it should be ok to decline unimportant requests; he simply threw in an example of a request important enough to be more an obligation (it is imperative to care for your loved ones, especially if they cannot care for themselves).

It doesn't contradict his point. He is making the point that if it isn't important he shouldn't be obligated to do it if he doesn't want to. He then gives two comparisons. One is an important thing that he agrees he should do. He then compared it against something that is not important in the grand scheme of things that he doesn't feel obligated to do.

Jerry Seinfeld has an aversion to physical contact. Might be a germophobe. And that's ok! But he's not being like this because he's some sort of snob.

I know I'll probably be crucified for this, but does anyone else think that Jerry's kind of a smug jerk?? Like, I get it. He worked really hard to make his own way from the very bottom of comedy to very top. He put the time in, he did the stand up, he did the appearances, he did the show, and he doesn't owe anything to anyone. He especially doesn't owe a hug to a pop singer that he couldn't care less about.
But, come on man, why you gotta be like that?? Watch this clip of him on Seth Meyers show just being a complete jerk. I mean, sure, it's kind of a shtick too, but cool your jets Jerry.

I think he is exactly what you think he is like. There's no secret jerk Seinfeld, or secret nice guy Seinfeld. No one guy for the cameras, another guy for at home with the wife. He's literally just the guy you expect him to be.
I respect that in a person, and would find that much easier to handle than the psychopath that smiles at you and shakes your hand while plotting a way to screw you.

watch cars and comics with bill burr. Jerry agrees(or even goes farther) than bills assessment of him that he has contempt for the total of society. Jerry just isn't crude or explicit but probably really hates most people and isn't fettered by social norms.

Also, he's definitely put a lot of thought into the concept of random hugs and has strong feelings about it. I mean, I think a large % of people would accept random hugs from random strangers and then be like "why did I just accept that random hug?" This is the shit Jerry Seinfeld dwells on I bet

I felt like that was a big part of his comedy on Seinfeld, cynically breaking down these silly little social games we play and bringing the ridiculousness of it all into the spotlight. I figure it takes a lot of internally thinking "why the fuck do people have to do this stupid shit?" while going about his life to come up with those bits.

It isn't a choice between honest jerk or charming psychopath. It is very possible to just be a normal nice person who isn't trying to screw everyone over.
I'm not saying Seinfeld is a jerk (I have absolutely no idea, the clip on Seth Meyers didn't seem that bad), but I don't think there is any reason to respect someone because they are honestly and openly an asshole.

Couldn't agree more. Being authentic doesn't give you carte blanche to be an asshole. I'm not saying Jerry's an asshole (though I do agree with the original commenter that something about him rubs me the wrong way -- not that he has to be likable to me or anyone else), but the argument that someone being "real" is a respectable quality that forgives other personality shortcomings has always annoyed me.

Was he not nice? He politely refused a hug from her 3 times in a row. I think she was the presumptuous one here. I just think he handled it in his classically awkward style, which is what I was referring to with my "he is how he is" comment.
daimposter ยท 1 points ยท Posted at 22:14:10 on June 6, 2017 ยท (Permalink)
First, that doesn't explain the stupidity of the argument "I respect that in a person, and would find that much easier to handle than the psychopath that smiles at you and shakes your hand while plotting a way to screw you."
Second, he was not nice. Just because he wasn't a 100% dick doesn't mean he was nice. Just because he could have yelled at her or pushed her does not mean politely refusing an innocent hug on the red carpet is a nice thing.
It's very well known that Jerry is a bit of a dick. The nice thing would be to just give a fan (who is on a red carpet of an event and thus likely in entertainment) a hug.
pinky0926 ยท 2 points ยท Posted at 22:18:37 on June 6, 2017 ยท (Permalink)
No, it explains it fine. I said I respect that in a person, which means I respect that quality in a person. It's honest and straightforward. That does not mean I automatically respect every person who acts this way.
Secondly, not everyone likes being touched by strangers. He politely refused and then she asked 2 more times, ignoring his polite refusal - so who's really being the dick here? You should respect other people's personal space, and not make them feel like the bad guy for not wanting to greet you so intimately.
And no, you're not obligated to hug anyone, especially if hugging is not your thing. Really your only point here is that he didn't bend over backwards to be more charming about it, which is not really much of a point at all.

Still doesn't explain the comparison. As I said, I would rather be punched in the balls than stabbed in the eyes with a knife....but those aren't the only options in life.
He's on a red carpet of a major event....he has to know she's in the business AND she's a fan.
She thought he was joking. I would too...you would too. Why would someone reject a hug from a huge fan at some event where they are all in the business?

Because the OP's point read a bit like a "does anyone else think Jerry Seinfeld is secretly a dick", and I was just saying conversationally that I think you can just take him at face value, and that's an admirable quality in a person. No need to read too much into it man.

Not at all what I said or implied.
I agree. And if the roles were reversed, Jerry Seinfeld would come across like a perverted old man for asking for a hug from a young woman 3 times despite her telling him no thanks. Aren't roles fun?

I think Larry David is the same way.
I have this idea that if I'm ever in an elevator with Larry David I would resist the urge to tell him how much I love his work; I feel like he would hate that. Instead I will try to find some obscure thing in the elevator to get irrationally annoyed over and then voice my opinion to him about it like he's a nobody just like me.
I feel like that's the secret to winning his heart.

I like to imagine that Jerry really just loathes other people and his comedy isn't actually meant to be comedy, rather it's his attempt at crying for help in his own living hell.

Everyone laughs along and likes his "jerk persona"... meanwhile jerry is simply really being a jerk.
Poor seth was neevously laughing at every jerry "joke" about how jerry disnt care shit for seth or his show meanwhile jerry was just throwing shit to seth.... and the audience laughing at every bit thinking its a "jerry joke".
Jerry could be insulting seth "i will fuck your wife in the ass... i will literally fuck your wife in the ass!"... seth would still be nervously "laughing along" and the audience would still keep clapping at his "jokes"
Its the same as how Trump became president: he was being crude all along and lots of people didnt took hin seriously and tried to laugh it off ("oh he cant be serious haha, he is such a joke haha")... meanwhile Trump was being Trump and simply won the election and keeps being Trump.
That whole jerry shit was cringey as fuck

I cannot related to this statement at any period in my life more than right now. I just finished moving the rest of my things into a new apartment, and the primary reason was a roommate who did just that. It got to the point that people who knew me started hearing all crazy types of things about me through this person, but face-to-face or at home they were overly friendly and interested in everything about my life, almost in a patronizing manner. Trust me folks, you want a Jerry Seinfeld in a world full of psychopaths.

Well because kesha just seems that way anyway? Seinfeld is a respected person in the industry, at the literal top, so he gets a bit of leeway. (but still a lot of comments are calling him a jerk anyway).
But I think its mostly due to the unbalance of success here, Seinfeld is so much more famous and successful than her, that she seems like some fangirl rather than a successful music artist.
Roles here cant really be reversed, but if it was kesha refusing a hug from some cringy obsessive fan who interrupted her interview, I think the comment section would look fairly similar.

He was in the middle of a conversation, which she interrupted, and didn't even introduce herself. Maybe she was nervous, but this would make a person less likely to respond positively to a question like that. It's a pretty intense way to approach someone, and him saying "no" doesn't make him a dick.
When your'e that famous, people running up to you asking to touch you can be creepy. He didn't know who she was.
Some people are not huggers, and if she'd ever watched Seinfeld, she'd probably know.
That being said, I felt a little bad for her, and then for myself because it was the cringiest thing I've seen in a while.

Haha I thought I was the only one who couldn't stop cringing from this. But I totally agree that he had every right to deny her hug. Still stand by that I don't think what she did was creepy. I just think she was excited and then didn't know how to handle the awkwardness of being shut down like that. I probably wouldn't know what to say if I was her either. But I'm also not a stranger hugger.

Well, you are clearly on some important set thing for an awards show or something so the people there are either reporters or some sort of celebrity without security being on them. Maybe Kesha really enjoys Seinfeld and finally got to meet Jerry in person and then she offers what is considered a normal greeting in Kesha-land, it may seem rude for Jerry to decline the way he did.

"Being a complete jerk" seems pretty harsh. He was just trying to be funny. That's 100% his comedy, trying to point out the absurdity of the seemingly mundane situation he finds himself in. If you didn't know who Jerry Seinfeld was and didn't know his comedy at all, I can see how you would think he's a jerk, but that moment you linked is very "on character" for him. That being said, I don't think you get to the top of Hollywood by just being a nice guy. On top of being a great comedian, he also seems like a shrewd businessman.
Edit: Apparently a lot of people on reddit hate Jerry Seinfeld, rofl, you people are ridiculous.
Edit #2: My comment is about the Seth Meyers video that the previous comment linked, not about the Kesha video.

But here we are talking about how some think he came across badly on that show.
If he REALLY didn't want to do it, he wouldn't have done it, but he obviously feels a bit indebted or wants to help Seth out or something.
If this pre-interview helps make the show more entertaining, then it's useful. And he certainly wouldn't be doing this 'bit' that isn't very funny, and just feels awkward.

No it doesn't. That's what he was doing. Even if he was being a complete jerk to be funny, it doesn't change the fact that he was being a complete jerk.
So? How does that make him any less of a jerk?
I fail to see how that ties into why he has to be a jerk.
No, you're missing the point. It's not about whether or not it's "on character" for him. For Seinfeld, being a jerk is "on character," and thus we can agree that he is a jerk. The only difference is that you believe it is some sort of an excuse. I've seen every episode of Seinfeld and have watched his stupid car show. I've seen his cameos on Louie. I know about Seinfeld very well. That being said, I think that makes me qualified to say he is a jerk. Pointing out that he is a jerk does not make me any less familiar with Seinfeld than you.
Agreed. That does not make Seinfeld any less of a jerk though. I fail to see how this disproves the notion that Seinfeld is a jerk.

I agree with you, that's Jerry Seinfeld. And Seth Meyers is laughing too because that's why Jerry is funny. He doesn't give a fuck and he's always complaining about the rules of the society.
He doesn't care and if the doesn't agree with something he doesn't do it.
I love people like Jerry because you always see one face. That's how he is and he's not selling anything.
I'm a Frank Zappa fan and I love how he was. He was 100% sincere and if he didn't like the interview or something, fuck it.

I don't think I'd go so far as to say he was being a jerk, but he does come across as a bit curmudgeonly.
Unlike many celebrities in the middle of a video-taped public interview, he did nothing to try to present a playful fun-loving image. He was completely dismissive in a sense that he care whatsoever anyone (the audience) thought of his actions. Compare that to if some celebrity was doing an interview on the Tonight Show and an audience member ran up from the audience and asked for a hug. I feel like most celebrities would play along with the moment (knowing it could be a big awesome moment for both the fan, great TV, good PR, and big video clip online. Imagine if it was Steve Carrell and the fan came running up and he just ignored her and brushed her off like that - and not jokingly as a comedy bit, but with pure seriousness. It would feel really weird and snubby, even if, once you think about it, there's no reason the celebrity owes it to the fan to hug them or anything.
I mean the way he goes on with the interview even after the interviewer tells him it's Kesha (I'm assuming he knows enough pop culture to know who Kesha is), he doesn't look embarrassed or explain that he thought it was a crazy stranger. He just goes "oh", and moves along like he would have still done that even if he knew who she was.
It's hard to explain, it's just about the way it plays out... Writing this out has caused me to put a lot of thought into this because, I don't want to suggest that celebrities are obligated to hug fans, because that's not right, but I do think it comes off as odd to do it in such a dismissive way as he did.

Yeah but if you are famous and everyone sort of knows who you are it is different honestly. People don't go around to you and want to interact or hug you because of your accounting skills or whatever you do, but with celebrities people recognize them so they get approached by strangers much more often than any other person would and you sort of should interact with people because they are probably fans of your work.

People are responding stupidly to you, but I will agree with you.
All you are saying is that what you or I would do if someone came up to us for a hug has no comparison to what a celebrity should do, because the only reason a stranger would randomly try to hug you or me on the street would be if something was wrong with them or they were trying to hurt me. For a celebrity, it must be a far more common occurrence that should not fill them with the same fear and concern. Thus, they should be able to handle it with more grace. I'm not suggesting (and I don't think you are, though perhaps you are) that every celebrity is obligated to hug anyone who asks, but you can do it without acting like the person is trying to harm you.

It was very funny, in my opinion. He's revealing a bit of the behind the scenes of the show and the social trade-offs that people in show business exchange. So I really thought it was funny.
The Kesha thing, I sort of understand. You're talking and someone just -- boom -- wants to invade your space. Personally, I'm a hugger. I love hugs. Kesha wants a hug, I give Kesha a hug. Kanye wants a hug, I'm giving him a hug. Any K-named pop star, in fact. Hugs, hugs, hugs.
Jerry always struck me as a bit of a germophobe though. And I can understand if he doesn't want to have someone jump into his interview and wrap him up. To Kesha's credit, she asked (twice even) beforehand. Sometimes a hugger and a non-hugger meet, and this is kind of how that plays out.

I can definitely understand the appearance of being a jerk, wouldn't surprise me. But I think the example you gave in regard to Seth Meyers show, seems like it's all an act. Jerry had him on Comedians in Cars Getting Coffee, so I don't think he would blatantly go on Seth's show and be a complete jerk because he 'didn't want to be there.'

You can tell even from the clip that Jerry really had a chip on his shoulder in regards to the producers of the show, not necessarily Seth himself. Regardless, he didn't make Seth look good on camera at all.

Yeah, I think that became evident with his "Comedians In Cars..." show. He's a dick, and doesn't care what people think. I kinda respect that, but, I'd rather him be cool.
That said, he gave my wife's family passes to see an episode of "Seinfeld" be shot ("fusilli Jerry, stopped short, Ass Man"). Reserved us front row seats, we got to meet the cast afterwards. Now, maybe that was all his assistant's doing, but, regardless, he chose to hire someone that made this happen.
So, maybe he just has to be "true to himself" to stay sane. It can't be easy being Jerry. Sure, there's the money, but, I can only imagine.

What position are you in to be receiving passes from Jerry Seinfeld? Genuinely curious.
DaveboNutpunch ยท 1 points ยท Posted at 07:02:54 on June 7, 2017 ยท (Permalink)
My Father-In-Law ended up with a painting of a Porsche, and went to a Porsche convention to sell it. Ended up, Jerry bought it. He and my brother-in-law took it to Jerry's house to deliver it. Jerry wasn't there, but his assistant was. They asked her for the passes.
It was indeed a cool episode to see get shot. My greatest regret, they had a few fussilli Jerrys for a few different shots. When I was on stage meeting the cast, there was one sitting on the floor. I probably could have just bent over and picked it up, no one would have cared.
EVERYONE was in that episode too, pretty cool. The Castanzas and David Puddy.
In case you're wondering, meeting the cast is interesting, but awkward. You're like, "hi", and they're like "hi", and then you just stare at each other. Then someone you're with says something awkward, like when my SIL pointed out that people think she looked like Julie Louis Dreyfus, and you cringe knowing they hear that multiple times a day from people that look nothing like them. My SIL had a "oh... I guess?" resemblance to JLD. Then you both don't really know how to disengage, so, you just stare some more.
Michael Richards was the coolest. He actually grew up by our hometown, so he chatted a lot about what it used to be like when he was a kid.

You just don't get his comedy. If you watched Seinfeld and Curb Your Enthusiasm, the humor is largely based on awkward moments and little rifts between people.
Trust me, if Jerry didn't actually want to be on the Seth Myers show, he wouldn't go on the show. The guy is close to being a billionaire, he can do whatever appearance he wants.
He chose to go the Seth Myers show because he wanted to be there, and then tried to make a joke about it in which people took too seriously.

Yeah, he is so pretentious. That being said, he shouldn't have to hug someone. But, after Seinfeld, he disappeared for a bit. Only to reappear expecting people to simultaneously kiss his feet and ignore his existence. Not to mention, he is the kind of person who judges people who didn't have the success he did. Because, "it was pretty easy." Just thinks the world of himself in a nauseating way, in my opinion, of course.

Honestly I thought the Seth Meyers bit was funny, it didn't feel cringey or uncomfortable or forced. I wouldn't be surprised if the conversation about it being staged itself was staged to give Jerry a platform to complain from, which is what he is known for as a comic. Whether it was or not, it was Jerry Seinfeld being Jerry Seinfeld, which is why people like him. I get if that's not your thing, nothing wrong with that, but it felt genuinely funny to me and Seth didn't seem to take it negatively at all.
The OP video was definitely uncomfortable though, but I don't think that was Jerry's fault. I have no idea what Kesha looks like and if I was worth nearly a billion dollars and one of the most famous men in Hollywood I certainly wouldn't want to hug some random person (presumably just an overzealous fan). I get where he's coming from there, and especially in the middle of giving an interview.

But that's the entire premise of the series. That's why the ultimate episode involves them literally being arrested for mocking someone instead of helping them.
Half of the plots of the series involve him or one of the other characters complaining about something people do. It's brightened up for TV or for standup with some lightness, but I think he really is someone who is just annoyed by everything. I think that's what makes him a successful observational comic - because he can find something annoying to mock about every situation.

I loved Seinfeld the show, one of my favourites. But yeah, Seinfeld himself seems really annoying. And his actual comedy outside of the show is shit.
I think there's a lot of undue credit to him an awesome comedian because of the show. If he were a new comedian today, without his sitcom fame, he wouldn't be a very popular comedian in my view.
I'm quite ok with arrogance as long as the person does their arrogance in a kind of cocky/funny way.
Super serious arrogant people are lame though. And despite being a comedian, Jerry seems to have this annoying serious arrogance, that often doesn't even make a lot of sense. It's like an "uncanny valley" type of weird thing that just doesn't feel right.

TheHYPO ยท 7 points ยท Posted at 21:18:38 on June 6, 2017 ยท (Permalink)
As a lawyer, I can suggest that both copyright and trademark infringement cases are very fragile and subject to very specific definitions. Neither applies to a "concept" or an "idea". Trademark applies to a specific name or logo, while copyright applies to specific works - in a book, that would be to the words themselves.
So if I write a book about a magic bracelet that makes you invisible and a bunch of whimsical strangers who need to get the bracelet to safety, I'm not necessarily legally infringing on Lord of the Rings even if I totally ripped off the idea.
Even if Seinfeld did rip off the woman's cookbook, unless she used exact words, I think they would have to prove she had access to and actually knew about the original work in order to be in a position to copy it, which is not necessarily a simple thing to prove.
Either way, a judge can throw out a case for lack of evidence and that doesn't automatically mean Seinfeld DIDN'T copy elements of the first book - there's also a fine line between being inspired by a past work, and stealing elements of the work.
tl;dr: Don't assume that just because a lawsuit was unsuccessful that this means that nothing in Seinfeld's book was based on or inspired by the original book. It just means that either 1) it wasn't enough to be legally actionable, or 2) there was not enough evidence of a direct connection between the two.

It looked obvious the original author got her idea stolen. I'm sure Seinfeld's lawyers just proved it was someone else that didn't the stealing. My biggest complaint is how he used Letterman's show as a soapbox to deride someone who does not have the same opportunities to defend herself.

You can't copyright recipes. They're all 100% public domain. The only thing you can copyright in a cookbook is your terminology and presentation.
You can go right now and find any famous chef, copy the recipes in their books word for word, and sell it as your own book, as long as you include only the recipes. The copyrighted part of a cookbook is everything else you include.

He is a smug jerk. But I went to see him perform once, and I have never come as close to asphyxiating as I did that night. I'm talking actual distress, seriously asking myself if I need to leave the theater in order to breath. He was so fucking funny, it caused me prolonged distress from suffocation.
Even if he murdered 50 babies by bleeding them from the neck, I'd still have no choice but to consider him the funniest comedian alive. Anything else and I'd just be lying to myself.

In a similar kind of analogy, (not really), Nicolas Cage is an "over-actor" actor. But that's his THING. He over-acts because that's who his characters are. I don't care that Ghostrider sucked monkey balls. Con Air, City of Angels, and Gone in 60 Seconds are amazing movies, and I'm proud to say it.

all true, but
for a few years, and now he acts like he mined coal for 50 years straight. meanwhile his standup material can be summed up as "old jokes". it's what soured me on comedians in cars.

This is absolutely not true. It is really hard to become famous (with a few exceptions). He has been acting (on TV) since 1980 and he had nine years of stand up and occasional roles before the first episode of Seinfeld.
That is nine years (at least, he was probably working for a while before he got his first TV role) of working hard for relatively low pay until he finally was on Seinfeld. That show ran for nine years, and he has been working as a producer, director, and actor since then (although he has been working less).
He might be an asshole, but I don't think this clip has anything to do with that. He just refused to hug someone he didn't know during an interview. That doesn't seem that crazy or rude.

The man is one of the most famous comedians of all time. You're an idiot if you think that didn't take years and years of extremely hard work. Seinfeld is one of the most influential TV shows of all time and basically one of the defining things about the "90's". He also created the show and paved the way for Friends and every other sitcom "about nothing". Not only that but it ended its run almost 20 years ago and its still culturally relevant. Regardless if you like the guy or not anybody can work 50 years in a coal mine, not everybody can be Jerry Seinfeld.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jerry_Seinfeld#Writing_credits_for_Seinfeld
such a hard worker this jerry, it's a good thing he made sure he and larry david got named producers for all episodes. he's a very smart businessman I give him that.
I'd give his early standup grind more credit if he wrote an amount of material that was atleast as big as the average comedians. Idk if you saw 'comedian' (2002) but his standup is basically all old material, and that's after he specifically decided to so standup again, you'd think he'd write a new hour of material, but he does maybe 5min. watch the comedians in cars episode with louis ck, seinfeld is amazed by how much louis ck actually works/writes. I mean louis ck is a machine but still.
I really like the tv show seinfeld, but after seeing the pre/post seinfeld works and interviews of larry david and seinfeld I know that I like it because of larry davids writing/influence and the great acting of the cast excluding jerry even though he had his moments. making LD write seinfeld was jerrys smartest move besides the producer cerdit.

...What are you getting at? That Jerry Seinfeld didn't create Seinfeld? That he and Larry David somehow swindled their way into producing the show they created? You really lost me here. Also of course Jerry would be shocked at the amount Louis CK works, every comedian says that, the guy is a workaholic. Jerry is also like 65 and a billionaire, he doesn't need to be writting fresh material right now.
I dunno man you can not like him all you want but saying he hasn't worked hard is ridiculous.

I know what you mean. I like the show because of the guests he has on, but he acts like he's some young king who would be mildly surprised and put-off if someone didn't know to kiss his ring.
Am I missing something? He had a good show and a good career, but people lose their shit when they see him and I just kind of don't get it. There are much funnier comedians who are much humbler.
That said, he doesn't have to hug kes$ha. No one should have to hug ke$ha.

It's possible he really is a jerk. I don't know. I really don't know him well enough to tell you and I don't think anyone else in these comments does either, but I can say that I don't think this clip "proves" anything. To me he seems like a very down to earth guy. Very blunt. Straight and to the point. Now sometimes this can come off as quite harsh, because he doesn't sugar coat anything or attempt to hide anything. I mean, he still was pretty kind to Seth and gave him credit for not having cue cards, he was just very honest about where he stood on the show and how he thought it should go down. Anyway, that's my humble opinion.
TL;DR: He doesn't seem like the nicest guy, but he's honest and I like that.

I think that's pretty much just part of his whole personality. Him and Larry David are just really bad with social interaction in general it always seems like but that's why they're so good at writing stuff like Seinfeld and Curb. I don't dislike them for it, but I think a lot of people don't realize that those characters are only exaggerated versions of themselves and they really do act like assholes sometimes.

Complete jerk? It's a funny, somewhat meta, bit and he's both honest and complimentary of Seth when he doesn't owe his jack squat.
I do think Seinfeld is a bit of a jerk overall, just in that he has a particular set philosophy and work ethic that doesn't jive with everyone and seems dismissive. BUT I don't see it as a problem because he doesn't tend to go out of his way to actually be an attention-hogging smug jerk. He had a huge show and now he just does whatever he wants.

Fwiw I think it was a little obnoxious of Kesha to interrupt his interview expecting a hug. I feel bad for some of her legal issues, but it doesn't mean she'sโ entitled to other people's space. It's not like he hasn't been obvious about this for 20+ yrs too.

The thing I don't get is - if he doesn't want to be there, why is he there? Or why doesn't he prove that there's some reason he should be there other than because he's "Jerry Seinfield"? Him explaining to us that he's better than everyone else doesn't justify it. Dave Chappelle is a million times more brilliant than Jerry because he goes out and proves it. Plus Dave still does interviews. And when he does them, they're enlightening because you know the man still goes out and challenges himself and tries to discover new perspectives. I don't get the whole, "I'm better than you so you should be serving my needs" thing. Everyone's equal at the end of the day, regardless of what they've built. Jerry's success isn't all because of him. He owes a lot to his co-writers, co-actors, his looks, and the time period his show was present.
TL;DR: "Sit down (Bitch), be humble."

You really aren't getting it. This entire thing could be a bit written by Larry David and Jerry Seinfeld. They both have been doing the same shtick for years. They built a comedy empire on it. He's not coming off as being an ass, he's coming off as being slightly annoyed by minuscule shit which is at the root of all of their comedy for 30 years and it's hilarious.
If you watch Myers response he's doing what the host does with a comic and supports his riffs. The whole thing is a bit. The best part is if you listen to the content it's all meta.

No way man and i think you're missing the point. He didn't hug her because he doesn't know her, not because he's "to famous" or something. On top of that the guy is literally in the middle of a conversation and some random girl walks up, interupts, and then just throws her arms out waiting for the hug she thinks she deserves because she's a fan. Tough shit, if the rolls were reversed he wouldn't have gotten within 10 feet of her without a bodyguard stopping him so don't feel too bad. I garuntee Kesha doesn't hug random guys who run up to her in public.

When you're famous people are asking you for shit like this all the time. I'm sure it gets tiring. Double annoying when you're giving an interview and some random chick (at least to you) half your age comes up and interrupts for a hug.
Just walking up to a stranger and asking for a hug is pretty creepy anyway, Kesha or no.

Umm. Have you looked into that case at all? Ever? The court accepted her allegations as true, but was forced to dismiss because the statute of limitations for them had run out.
What she claimed happened is accepted as having happened. Which, for those that are unaware, she said she was drugged, raped, and abused, repeatedly, over the 10 years of working with him.

Because the allegations happened more than 5 years ago, thus being outside the statute of limitations, you utter moron.
The allegations happened. The court ruling literally says, quote, "Kesha's allegations are accepted as true."
The court had no power to do anything and HAD to dismiss, because of the statute of limitations. You think that means he magically isn't a rapist? When the court accepts her allegations as true?

You are missing a key point. The Court did not say her allegations were true, they said, "even if they were true, she would still lose based on statute of limitations."
Defendants filed a motion for summary judgment, including that her claims were time-barred based on the statute of limitations. Such a motion basically puts the rest of the fact finding of a trial on hold to evaluate a purely legal issue - whether the statute of limitations applied.
In evaluating that motion, the Court has to assume the facts pled by the other side are true, since it has not had the change to review the facts. So the Court is saying "Even if what plaintiff alleges is true, she still loses."
Very different from "What the plaintiff alleges is true, she still loses."

No I'm not. The specific line I am referring to, in the ruling from Keinrich is:
Sources and further info in my other response, here: https://www.reddit.com/r/videos/comments/6fnj3j/jerry_seinfeld_utterly_rejects_keshas_attempted/dijz80p/
The court accepted the allegations as true but dismissed due to statute of limitations. Nothing I stated is incorrect. The court accepted her allegations that she was abused, drugged, and raped, on two occasions, but due to those occasions being more than 5 years old, still had to dismiss.
If you read the ruling in full, the judge reads as having been very pissed that he had to make the ruling in that way too. Lots of criticism in there about her lawyers.
bobabouey ยท 5 points ยท Posted at 23:51:37 on June 6, 2017 ยท (Permalink)
I won't bother with the summary as the press often makes mistakes with regard to how the law works.
But from the actual decision you cited, the judge expressly made the same point I did at III.A on page 13, in the section titled "Standard of Review."
https://iapps.courts.state.ny.us/fbem/DocumentDisplayServlet?documentId=sLb4UNahQpy2G1fLPLHiuA==&system=prod
I know very little about the case - I make no judgment on whether someone who has spend more time reading the record has a view on who is more believable.
But in a motion for summary judgment, the Court is not expressing a view on the facts, it is simply acknowledging that for that limited purpose, it assumes the facts are in favor of the party opposing the motion.
Leaving aside the standard of review, it is also worth noting that at this point in a trial, the fact-finding process of the trial - discovery, depositions and questioning in Court before a jury - has simply not taken place. You simply have allegations from both sides that have not yet been subjected to the full legal process. The Court is therefore evaluating whether there are clear-cut legal (not factual issues) that should prevent that expensive phase of the trial to proceed. This is black letter law.
[deleted] ยท 4 points ยท Posted at 23:54:15 on June 6, 2017 ยท (Permalink)
This occurs because in order to make an argument based on the statute of limitations, a defendant must accept that the events alleged actually took place.
There's very little point in saying "Please dismiss this because it happened more than 5 years ago" if it did not in fact happen at all. Which is how the statute of limitations is deliberately set up to function.
Those that wish to claim they are innocent must thus defend their case.
The defence chose to accept that the events took place.
There is no further debate necessary. The facts are simple. The defence accepted the allegations in order to defend based on statute of limitations. The court accepts that her allegations a thus true as a result.
Every further bit of debate is really really trying hard to build some argument against the poor woman that the allegations that the defence chose not to defend and instead to have accepted as true are someone false, despite the fact that they didn't defend them as false, but accepted them as true.
There is no reason to perform gymnastics about it. It is very simple. Her allegations are accepted as true, by a court ruling.
bobabouey ยท 4 points ยท Posted at 00:08:06 on June 7, 2017 ยท (Permalink)
Look at the corrected "flow chart" in my other response, you still have things backward.
The defense by no means "accepted" the allegations. They have the right to file motions based on affirmative defenses BEFORE the fact-finding process has taken place. Because the fact-finding has not taken place, it is the JUDGE who accepts the allegations as true solely for that purpose.
If you can't accept a clear quote from a court (which is standard in thousands of summary judgment motions and probably understood by every first year law student), then I can't help you.

[deleted] ยท 1 points ยท Posted at 23:32:47 on June 6, 2017 ยท (Permalink)
You are taking that quote out of context. The judge is quoted as saying she "must take as true"... This means the allegations at the heart of the case have not been tried and their basis in fact (or lack thereof) are not reason for dismissal. You need to look at the bigger picture on this.
[deleted] ยท 3 points ยท Posted at 23:37:15 on June 6, 2017 ยท (Permalink)
I'm not really. You're taking a quote from the article, I'm taking a completely different quote from the ruling.
"Kesha's allegations are accepted as true."
There is no further argument necessary other than a court accepting that her allegations are true but unable to press any legal action based on them. That's it. That's all there is.
If they were untrue, Luke's representation could have defended them as untrue. They did not.
When you make a defence based on the statute of limitations, you accept that the allegations are true, but outside of the powers of the court due to being too old. That is how the defence works. It skips the rest of the process because the defendants themselves chose to accept the allegations as true. If they did not want them accepted as true, they could have defended them. They chose not to. Why? Because there's no need to go to a defence based on the statute of limitations if you can defend the case as untrue. This is why it works in that way.
You are the one failing to look at the actual picture.
The flowchat:
Did this actually happen? Yes? When?(statute of limitations applies) Judgement.
Did this actually happen? No. End.
This is why when the defence calls for the statute of limitations the court accepts that the event actually occurred.
bobabouey ยท 2 points ยท Posted at 00:01:44 on June 7, 2017 ยท (Permalink)
Per my other comment, you have the flow chart wrong, it is:
1 - Are there affirmative defenses like statute of limitations that have been raised in motion practice.
2 - If so, evaluate those defenses assuming the facts are in favor of the party opposing the motion, solely for that purpose
3 - If plaintiff prevails on such a motion, trial ends, court never bothers with the fact finding process
4 - If defense prevails, trial pursues, both sides go through lengthy and costly discovery, depositions and trial, and only at the trail does the factfinder (jury, or judge if jury is waived), express any opinion on disputed facts.

God you just want to muddy the waters up for some bullshit reason.
You do not say "Please dismiss this because it occurred more than 5 years ago" to something that did not in fact occur at all. This is why it functions in this manner, such that, by making the statute of limitations defence, they accept that the event did in fact actually occur, but at a time outside of the court powers.
Whatever agenda you're on, it's full of shit and I'm done here. You're going to drive this around in circles endlessly for some weird ass crusade to protect a rapist.

Edit: can't figure out if people have reading comprehension issues or just Seinfeld sensitive. Obviously, he doesn't have to hug her and it isn't necessarily rude what he did. But he is such a pretentious holier than thou asshole, in most every context other than when he is getting paid, and even then, still, I don't even know how it could be debatable.

So do I. Rereading what I wrote, I hate it to. I love jerry. He is hilarious and he capitalized. He found Larry and magic happened. The fact that he is who is he is now isn't really shocking, only mildly disappointing. Actually, I'd like it if I didn't see that comics couch with Chris rock, Louie KC, Seinfeld, and Ricky gervais. Gervais (sp?) was being so goofy and jerry clearly didn't get it, or like it, and despite the fact that Ricky was so respectful of jerry and invited to be there, and star struck! Jerry excluded him like Regina George.
He complimented Chris rock, but when CK was discussing his style he took that opportunity to stand on his soap box and talk about how he doesn't swear. It was insulting, in my opinion, as jerry hasn't been a funny stand up comic since the late nineties. Yeah, he hit it big. But Louie has been plugged in and found something that works now.
Granted, Seinfeld, to me, is timeless. But in my most recent watching it is far more dated than I thought. Granted, tech has totally made obsolete many of the mundane problems the cast deals with, but still. He sat there like he was the greatest thing to happen to comedy and he doesn't even know what's funny anymore. He isn't aware of those trivial and mundane aspects of life. I honestly don't blame him, as he is uber famous and rich, but I would expect more self awareness.

That statment in itself is kinda useless. If you don't tip at a restaurant because of bad service, would you use that as an example of how you act generally? (I.e if he doesn't accept a hug, would you take that as how he acts generally) In that one context its fine, they didn't deserve a tip, however taken into the larger context of life, you're an asshole for not tipping. The context is the situation the incident happened in, to take that and put it in the "Larger context of life" would be to effectively take the situation out of context on purpose.

I suppose I could have been more clear. But it isn't useless. Maybe I should have stated "In this one instance he is justified, but seeming as nearly every interaction that is broadcast to the public he behaves like a dingus, this isn't all that surprising." I guess I was commenting on how he appears to enjoy making people feel uncomfortable around him. I say this while admitting that Kesha was the one that created the uncomfortable situation, here.

I agreed in another comment that he is a dick, I think that's the best word for it. Asshole is too much... so is jerk. A dick is someone who swings it around and is casual about it.
He reminds me of a high school friend who became a star (and whose name I will not say). Once a girl went up and licked his ice cream cone, as a teenage girl may be inclined to do, and he threw a fit, before dramatically tossing the whole dessert into a trash can. Jerry reminded me of it. It may be that he's drawing a line for his personal life, it may be that he has a disdain for presumptuousness, but I also wonder if it's a feeling that she's trying to put him in her debt somehow. It may just be a sense of rigid propriety, but I think about it a lot, because I'm not that way at all.

Er. I mean. Someone licking an icecream cone could REALLY bother someone who is very hygienic, or a lot of normal people. You have no idea where that tongue has been, if they have any diseases that can be transmitted through saliva, or if their bad breath/saliva has now been transferred to the thing you have to lick to eat. You are basically kissing someone at that point, so I could see how that would bother a lot of people.
Not to mention, a person who just thinks it is alright to get into someones personal space, lick (and potentially ruin) food they have not even payed for, and not understand why someone would find that annoying is probably not a very self aware person.

She was a cute girl. High school boys don't typically pick fistfights with girls who are likely flirting with them. I guess I could have mentioned that she appeared to be shyly flirting, but as I said, he was a future star (and those types are deeply charismatic even in youth, so obviously girls are flirting with them). Anyway when a girl does something like that it's usually flirting regardless, unless she's some drunk bimbo at a bar.

But, I mean, it's only a hug. Let's not crucify her for her weird and pushy, but overall-harmless request. I know it's the internet here, but social errors do not require beheadings. :-)

She was being rude and out-of-line thinking she was important enough to butt-in on his interview. I love the fact that he humbled her.

Seinfeld seems like a pretty chill guy, but he's got his boundaries. I don't think he was aiming at a "lesson in humility" as much as just really NOT wanting to be hugged. Heheh.

As a person who deals with social anxiety issues and is VERY uncomfortable with strangers and random invasions of personal space, good on Jerry. Where does it say ANYONE is obligated to invite intimate contact from a complete stranger? He was polite, succinct and friendly in his declining physical contact from a stranger. I don't have a problem with that. The woman asked, was politely declined, and that was that. I fail to see a problem.

I feel bad for jerry only because I had a friend that was just like him. He just wants his personal space and boundaries. It doesn't help that people get more touchy feely as they get older. If he knew who you were he probably would be ok with giving you a quick 2 second hug.

The whole 'Just a little one' part really gets me! A little hug? What's a little hug?! Jerry said he didn't want a hug. He's not going to change his mind if you ask him 3 times. He also does not care about the size of the hug. Just because you are Kesha, whom I, like Jerry, do not know nor could recognize, does not entitle you to Jerry hugs.

If you've seen his comedian in cars getting coffee series then this isnt much of a surprise. A waiter asked to shake his hand and he did the same thing. "No thanks". It seems really cold and almost impolite but I think thats just because its taken to be a norm in social settings. People should be allowed not to have to touch other people even if its just a friendly gesture. Just this morning I was in the bathroom at work and heard a guy take a massive wet dump and then exited the bathroom without even looking at the sink to wash his hands. People are gross.

The_UnApologist ยท 3 points ยท Posted at 16:57:17 on June 7, 2017 ยท (Permalink)
I can respect Jerry's decision in this situation. He's a professional entertainer and any time he says something into a microphone it's sort of like he's advertising his brand of comedy. What he was saying right before she interrupted him was almost like a stand-up bit of his. So naturally, if he's selling himself on camera, the last thing he wants is to be rudely interrupted by someone. It's the same as being cut-off by a heckler at a show.
So I get it. He was nice about it in return and that added to the funniness of the situation, but I get why he was like "Are you serious right now? Fuck off!!"
Plus who in their right mind would just interrupt anyone being interviewed on a red carpet at an event? She was probably wasted.

iushciuweiush ยท 3 points ยท Posted at 22:26:54 on June 6, 2017 ยท (Permalink)
What you're missing here is that she didn't respect his personal boundaries. The hug goes too far for some people and it doesn't make them an asshole regardless of their social standing unless they were unreasonably rude about it which I don't think he was.
clam_beard ยท 4 points ยท Posted at 21:20:46 on June 6, 2017 ยท (Permalink)
Or it could be that someone he's never met just interrupted him to introduce themselves, which is pretty rude, and he was quite polite about it.

Two things. One, some people have ticks, quirks, or things they just really don't like. I don't like hugs. I don't even really like being touched, unless it's explicitly obvious I want you to, in which case, you will know. Some women find this funny when they realize I avoid hugs and go for the fake lean in hug so they try to chase me around. It's not funny, it's uncomfortable. People do not need to conform to being loud, super social, extroverted, and physical. To some of us, that is really attention-seeking, over the top, and annoying as fuck. Two, if this was a woman, and a man was trying that desperately to hug her, it wouldn't just be cringey and there wouldn't be the small minority of "well, he was kind of a dick about it", it would be an overwhelming response of "how creepy", "who does that", "no means no", "why didn't he listen the first two times?", etc.

drkztan ยท 5 points ยท Posted at 01:19:57 on June 7, 2017 ยท (Permalink)
So "walking away" is how all women handle rejection and violence is how all men handle rejection? How is that any different than saying that men are better at working and women are better at housekeeping? Different people react differently to similar situations. There is no need to bring gender into the discussion, as the OP didn't mention it and there is no evidence of discrimination based on gender in the video.
Trying to make every single damm post into a gender issue and an exposition of the patriarchy is one of the reasons people make fun of the current feminist movement. "Triggered men" is not the reason why you are being downvoted, you are being downvoted because your comment is completely off topic.

It's not off topic. It's a relevant discussion. You can't tell women men don't own women affection when it's mostly men that take it too far. I never mentioned feminism. I'm stating something that happens to women all the time. It is a gender issue. Why do you think people discuss this all the time?

First I'd probably say something like I don't do hugs, so as to not make the other person think it has something to do with them.
But beyond that, this is just one of many examples in recent years as to why I'm realizing I don't like him much as a person these days. If this was it, I probably wouldn't think much of it, but no, lots of things he says and does these days is just not the kind of behavior I consider something to be looked up to or admired.

He's out of touch in the sense that he's a diva and thinks that he's better than everyone else and the rules therefore don't apply to him. Love his show, love his comedy, but recognize him for the kind of person that he really is.

If you listened to 5 minutes of conversations he's had you'd know that not to be true. He interviewed Miranda Sings FFS.

If you do 5 minutes of research, you'll find hundreds of stories online of people having unpleasant experiences with Jerry. You can always find one good thing that someone did, but that's not going to mean anything if I can locate tons of other examples to the contrary.
caitlinreid ยท 0 points ยท Posted at 21:57:32 on June 6, 2017 ยท (Permalink)
Look at this chain. Someone thinks he's an asshole for joking around on a late night show. It's the same treatment Norm McDonald gets and Jerry is too good of a comedian to break the wall and correct them. Of course there are hundreds if not thousands of "Jerry is a jerk" stories online, that's how this shit works.
I mean the nicest guy in Hollywood has been called an asshole.
More than once.

Those aren't where the stories I'm talking about come from (haven't even looked at reddit actually in that regard). I'm talking about things I've hear in podcasts and just people in general sharing what it was like to meet the guy. Why you're so dead-set on defending the guy is beyond me. I guess no one wants to hear that someone they looked up to or admire is actually a dick in real life. But I've heard far too many stories in recent years to think anything but that about him at this point. Which is fine whatever, I don't care if he's a dick, he can still be funny, and I can still enjoy his show.

Of course he's going to try his best on camera to not look like an asshole, that should go without saying. But there are just so many candid stories when cameras aren't rolling about the guy being a genuine dick, that I simply can't ignore them, cool if you can turn a blind eye to them, or assume that they're ALL bull, but I'm just not that naive.

Well one that comes immediately to mind is a story I heard how he was in a hotel, had a cigar, was told that it was a no smoking area by an employee, he said, "do you know who I am" and then blew a puff of smoke in her face. I'm thinking more along the line of those kinds of rules.

Truly the same. Well done. I find it bizarre how easily people will give the celebrity the pass, but be suspicious of the nobody who met the celebrity. Don't you think most people want someone like Jerry to be a delight in real life? I sure would, but when there are dozens of stories just like the one I shared there piling up against the guy, its pretty dang hard to keep writing them off.

It's the same because its a baseless story that makes the rounds. Is Jerry Seinfeld an asshole to people sometimes? Probably. But so am I. you can't base your opinion of someone off of stories without knowing context.
None of that has anything to do with this video. In this video you can see the context. Jerry Seinfeld is a perfectly fine person doing an interview. And an asshole interrupts him asking for a hug and doesn't take no for an answer after one attempt.
MikeDubbz ยท 1 points ยท Posted at 14:20:22 on June 7, 2017 ยท (Permalink)
When there are so many stories about the guy being a dick to fans and other non-famous people, its kind of hard to ignore. I could discredit a few of them, but when there are dozens of such stories it becomes much harder to ignore. I mean do you believe that Cosby is innocent? If it was only one or two accusers, I may be able to dismiss it, but there are just too many for me to not think that he's guilty.

MikeDubbz ยท 1 points ยท Posted at 15:18:24 on June 7, 2017 ยท (Permalink)
Nope, I'm equating piles of allegations against the two as being enough to draw a legitimate conclusion about the person. If you have over 50 people that had direct contact with you saying that you did something, then I'm inclined to believe the majority of those 50 people that you probably did do that thing.

Yeah I see that. I tend to just take people's words with a grain of salt because their little interaction does not scrape the surface of who they really are as a person. To me it's like cold approaching a woman, getting rejected, and then saying how they're kind of a bitch or something.

I guess, but when enough people have said something its pretty hard to dismiss, as much as I might not want what they're saying to be true. I mean look at Bill Cosby, I'd have to be pretty damn naive to say the guy is a saint and that everyone is just out to get him.

In regards to Bill Cosby. I've heard rumors of rumors of sexual misconduct persisting through out his career. So if these court cases, and the big stories haven't come out what would you do?
Could you reliably take a few rumors you've heard from people who very well have their own rumors floating about and judge a person wholeheartedly based on those rumors?
MikeDubbz ยท 1 points ยท Posted at 14:22:22 on June 7, 2017 ยท (Permalink)
If they're are over 50 different "rumors" about the person coming from different over 50 different people... yeah, absolutely I think you can wholeheartedly judge that person based on those rumors. Maybe a few of them are bull, but certainly not all of them, I don't doubt for a second that Cosby has raped many women.
Illison ยท 1 points ยท Posted at 15:39:03 on June 7, 2017 ยท (Permalink)
But you are only hearing that from a few amount of people though. Rumors aren't a constant thing you will hear. Even in the busiest offices you will only have a few people constantly spreading rumors at all times. While others only do it are opportune times. So instead of hearing 50 different rumors you hear maybe 2-4 different rumors. And guarantee some of those people will seem to be making a power player. Unless you witness something yourself can you really rely on others to witness for you?
MikeDubbz ยท 1 points ยท Posted at 15:40:12 on June 7, 2017 ยท (Permalink)
I've read at least 50 different stories online about the guy as well as heard maybe a dozen others from various podcasts. Its not hard to find these stories. This is why I've come to believe he is a bit of a dick, its not just based on this one video and only a handful of other supposed stories.

I can agree with that, but just because you're not being "nice" doesn't make you a jerk. If someone tries to hug you and you hug them back, that's being nice, but if you don't hug them back, that doesn't mean you're being mean.

You sound like you're also quite uptight about personal space. I've been reading The Naked Sun recently, and it seems a certain subset of society is heading towards a similar place. In the book, they are repulsed by the idea of having another human being in the room, and will only "view" them through electronic means. Scary stuff.

Ha I'm sure you're very enthusiastic about finding practical examples from the book you've read, but I freaking love hugs. I give a good strong hug, much like my handshake. Limp hugs / handshakes are the worst.
My sarcastic comment was highlighting the shaming of someone holding up their personal boundaries. You can think the boundaries he set would not be the same boundaries you set, but I think it is important to acknowledge and respect them. Calling him a dick for enforcing them in a polite manner is not respectful to the human side of Jerry.

To me, this is about as normal as an interaction comes. I find it funny that people are calling him a dick when he was being a human.

IrishGuyGolfer ยท 1 points ยท Posted at 11:46:13 on June 7, 2017 ยท (Permalink)
I honestly would look at it the same way because I don't think someone trying to hug someone of the opposite sex is a sexual move or something that is inappropriate. I guess the more I thought about it what put the icing on the cake for me was him saying he didn't even know who she was. If he did or didn't it doesn't matter. It's not as if it was some random fan that was able to get access to him. He must have known she was someone who was supposed to be there so I don't think he needed to say that. I am a person who absolutely hates to hurt someone's feelings so I guess I am looking at it from that perspective. Also I don't have an aversion to people touching me or getting hugs. I agree that people have the right to politely decline being touched, but I guess I just felt bad for her. She definitely should have gotten the hint the first time though. If it was me I would have just walked away when he said no thanks the first time.

Funny you should say that, I'm actually a personal trainer and weight loss specialist who became certified after losing a bunch of weight myself. One of the things that I really make a point to teach the people that I work with is that they've got to learn to respect themselves for who they are before the weight loss, and then use that self-love as a base for improvement.

Jerry Seinfeld has become an extremely self important narcissist douchebag and it really comes across in nearly all the interviews he's done the last several years.
He told dad jokes on TV back when TV still meant something and got filthy rich off syndication, and now seems to think he's some Bob Hope level elder statesman of comedy.
He's not.

Seinfeld's comedy was something of a novelty in his day. He went high with noncrass humor, and you will understand his talent if you see other comedians talk to him or about him. He is a legend for a reason. However, he is a bit of an arrogant ass and he tends to admit that often.

Exactly. Acted like a real class A dickhead and is getting a pat on the back for it from a bunch of Internet neck beards who think they're totally cool for saying they don't know who a world famous singer is. He could have not been such a dick and gave her a handshake or acted in any other way than that.

A dick, he was laughing and smiling the whole time! Plus, ended with "I wish her the best".
You and I have no idea what it's like to be a celebrity. I can only imagine how many times he has wanted to be left alone and was interrupted by a stranger, can you imagine how annoying that would be? On top of that, she asked for a hug, why should he be obligated to hug people he doesn't know? I'm sure if she would have said "can I shake your hand" he probably would have just done it.

TIL you have to hug everyone who comes up to you asking for a hug, and refusing is considered rude.
I imagine you would say the same "rude woman" commentary if the roles were reversed, where a woman has no idea who a guy is. I'm 100% confident you expect her to feel obliged to hug him lest she be called rude.

I watched all of the interviews from David Lynch's charity red carpet live on Facebook yesterday, and honestly Jerry Seinfeld just comes across as a giant douchebag. When he talks about Trancendental Meditation he gets a look in his eye that is not entirely dissimilar to the way that Scientologists talk about their "religion." I say this as someone who has a pretty open mind about meditation and even TM, I just dislike phony personalities like Seinfeld, and honestly if you saw anything from his interview with the Washington Post correspondent at the same red carpet event he constantly made patronizing references to her young age and not "getting" a variety of subjects.
Of course everyone will rag on Kesha (Because this is reddit), but from what I've seen of her recent live shows she seems like a talented musician and an authentic person. Perhaps it was silly for her to try to hug Seinfeld while he was getting interviewed, but she's definitely not the asshole here.
I'll also qualify this by saying that I'm a huge fan of the show Seinfeld. But I will say Jay Leno (who was also interviewed at this same event, and whose late night show I absolutely detested) seemed like a much more warm and genuine person.
The more I see from Seinfeld, the more I think he's just a cold 1%er who occasionally has to come down from his ivory tower to attend charity events or sell people things with lucrative commercial gigs. It's sort of a bummer to see reddit try to make him look like this "good guy" in this.
[deleted] ยท 5 points ยท Posted at 21:47:35 on June 6, 2017 ยท (Permalink)
That's a lot of analysis for an interview. Seinfeld has never made himself out to be anything other than kind of a dick, though. His whole career was built off of making fun of social niceties.

Eh, there's a pretty big difference between the "everyman" neurotic weirdo that he was in the 90's, and the east coast society man elite that he is today.
All he does these days is shill his "American Dream" story about how he works harder than everyone else and has no time for nonsense. His persona in Seinfeld couldn't be more different than the person that he is today.

I acknowledge that in my post. It's her mistake for interrupting him during the middle of an interview. I'm merely pointing out that he came across as a giant douchebag the entire time he was on the red carpet yesterday. If you want to cringe, pull up some videos of him proselytizing about the miraculous powers of TM.
Edit: Not sure why you are downvoting me. Did you watch his interviews on the red carpet yesterday? It wasn't just this Kesha thing. He was basically acted like an egotistical prick the entire time he was on the carpet.

So he's a giant douchebag for talking about something he truly and passionately believes has improved his life for the better? He talks about this because he's trying to share it with others, he isn't forcing it down anyone's throat, he's just sharing something he cares about in the hopes that it will make others happier or at least more content with what they have in life.
You know this kind of makes you come across as a giant douchebag, right?
FoolishFellow ยท 2 points ยท Posted at 22:08:34 on June 6, 2017 ยท (Permalink)
You're putting words in my mouth. I think meditation is great, and I've worked with people that practice TM. I'm taking issue with his interactions with reporters yesterday. All of interactions from this event were super patronizing. He's a comedic legend, I'll give him that. But he strikes me as the sort of person that maniacally yells at his assistants when he doesn't get things his way in between meditation sessions.
I also think his late career is just obnoxious including his Comedian's getting Coffee show. He's turning into the east coast elite version of Leno, and just seems totally detached anything beyond his skewed 1%er view of the world. In general, I just sort of dislike people who talk constantly about how much of a hard worker they are. It's sort of posh these days to constantly talk about how much you work, and it's just incredibly patronizing.

I can see both sides of the argument; dick move by Seinfeld vs don't run up on someone and try to hug them. But for this kind of thing I just ask myself "what would it cost me to hug her? What might the value of the hug be to her?" Barring being in a bitchy mood, that's how I process these kinds of interactions. If I can make someone happy at the expense of mild inconvenience, I try to do so. But maybe he really hates hugs, I don't know.

There was no playing around or joke here. His eyes said it all.

I don't blame him for not wanting to hug her, especially if he doesn't even know her. I'm sure that happens often, and he's probably sick of strangers invading his personal space.
Even so...that her request was obnoxious does not make his response less so. He could have been more gracious about it.

Met Michael Shannon at a bar once. He was very nice. We happened to be sat next to him and talked about nothing really, just casual chit chat. He had a few beers, got up and said it was nice to meet us and he went on his way. Extremely nice guy. We didn't ask about movies or anything. My wife said she liked his hat.

I respect the fact that even after rejecting the hug the first time that it never degrades to him sounding like an asshole. He just keeps politely, yet firmly, saying no three other times.
Honestly, Kesha should have respected his wishes.

Seinfeld just did not want to hug someone he didn't know. But finding out later that Kesha is a famous person probably would make him feel bad for rejecting but not if he rejected a mere commoner.

True, but still surprising they wouldn't at least have passed each other in the back. The group last night consisted of Seinfeld, Leno, Hugh Jackman, Margaret Cho, Ben Folds and Kesha. They all went on stage over 2 hours, Kesha played after Seinfeld's bit.

If they met last night, why did she introduce herself and ask for a hug at the red carpet? I imagine she'd have said she's a huge fan in private if she'd had the chance.

I dont think he came off as a jerk at all. I am sure she was a huge fan just as I am but the fact that he had no idea who she was and politely said no thank you to her hug just made the entire interaction hilarious. I would be disappointed as well but cant help but laugh when he sends her packing and you know that she is used to having her ego stroked and Seinfeld knocked her down a peg or 2 without even trying.

He was polite and said no thanks to her hug attempt and then when he heard who she was he wished her good luck. I just found it funny how the interaction played out. Good shit.

What does this have to do with kesha being a woman? Anyone randomly going up to someone and interrupting something is a jerk. When you think you're "all that" and ignore what others are doing it's good to see them get shut down and it's even more funny because it's Jerry Seinfeld

I find it funny that he has no idea who she is and politely tells her no thank you to her hug attempt. He was being malicious at all and treated her like a normal person and you know that she is used to having her ego stroked by everyone. Not this time and he didnt do it to be a dick either. He didnt know her and didnt want a hug from her. It was just a funny interaction that was caught on camera. GOOD SHIT TO MY FUNNY BONE!

She's also had this weird ongoing feud with Sony Music and this Dr. Luke guy over alleged rape claims and is basically banned from doing anymore music while under contract with Sony. I'm not sure she's even allowed to write anything until she's released from her contract. I don't even understand why they still refuse to release her, and just wash their hands of it. They're not making anymore money off of her besides royalties and are just being assholes. I guess it's a principle sort of thing to them?

This douche bag keeps trolling me and I find it funny. It was because of a post about Millennials. I work in staffing and I interview & hire people all day long so I know who to hire and why. The Millennial generation starts at 1980 and moves forward which I technically fall in but I do not identify with them much at all. I have the work ethic of Gen X but know how to utilize technology as Millennials do. He doesnt like that fact that I called out the short comings of a generation that I technically fall in but I find it funny that he keeps popping up and telling me to get to work. This Ted Talk touches on alot of the issues that I brought up and he spit the truth back out like I fed him a shit sandwich. It is fact and I see it every day.

Gen X
WikiTextBot ยท 7 points ยท Posted at 19:22:18 on June 6, 2017 ยท (Permalink)
Generation X
Generation X, or Gen X, is the demographic cohort following the baby boomers. There are no precise dates for when this cohort starts or ends; demographers and researchers typically use starting birth years ranging from the early-to-mid 1960s and ending birth years ranging from the late 1970s to early 1980s. Generation X is a relatively smaller demographic cohort sandwiched between two larger demographic cohorts, the baby boomers and the millennials.
Members of Generation X were children during a time of shifting societal values and as children were sometimes called the "latchkey generationโ, due to reduced adult supervision compared to previous generations, a result of increasing divorce rates and increased maternal participation in the workforce, prior to widespread availability of childcare options outside of the home.

most of them dont but some of them do. there will always be exceptions to the general rule. this friggin guy though wont stop trolling me because I dont identify with my own kind apparently. I dont have any type of social media other than reddit (I am no monster) and dont find much in common with people that seem to be about 30 and younger. The way they have been raised within the structure of our digital society has offered them little resilience in the face of adversity and lack of work ethic to remain willing to grind it out. They only see the summitt of the mountain and not the journey it takes to get there. Instant gratification and instant results are not a common practice in the real world. You have to go out there every day and bring your lunch box to work. Good ol fashioned work ethic beats out most of the competition with that generation and some people arent willing to see it. I see this stuff every day because all I do is sift through the bull shit.

From a data perspective, they also lead the productivity department as they are more technical savvy/ digital natives.
As a former recruiter, you are missing out on a solid track of people based on these preconceptions.
They can be irritated by old methods but that is because they want it done better and faster.

I will hire anyone that proves to be motivated and reliable. I do not care who they are or how old they are so I dont miss out on anyone. All I am giving is my own personal feedback from years of interviews and the market in which I work in. Unemployment is less than 4% in Michigan so I have to consider anyone that walks through my door as potential. I am all for innovation and not subscribing to old methods simply because it has always been done that way but the younger generation has alot of struggles that are experiencing now that they are in the work force.

Cool. Just wanted to check. I was recruiting for 2 years and seeing some low key racism / sexism / ageism, really opened my eyes to how some companies were passing up amazing, motivated people due to their own biases.
At the end of the day, the best person for the job is the one that gets it, a range of skills and experiences and perspectives means that the company is richer and you are filtering from a much better and bigger pool of candidates.

That is why equal opportunity laws for put in place although they are not always adhered to. I do find that the older generation has a better work ethic and are more reliable but that there are always exceptions to that rule. I see alot of the same thing regarding racism / sexism / ageism that tarnishes the industry and then people get pissed at me because I verbalize my feedback about it. It is not me that is doing it but it doesnt happen nonetheless. skillset, work ethic, reliability, are by far and away the most important things I look for when hiring.

Oh I have a lot I'm proud of but I'm definitely not going to link it here. I don't make a living off of it so I have nothing to gain by opening myself up to someone clearly wanting to dismiss my work or critique it. Also we make completely different music and I never compared my music to hers to begin with. Music is subjective just as all art is but there is a line that needs to he drawn when the music created is utter crap. If my daughter could pay for a beat and do something as good or a friend could get a beat and do something more amazing than what she has done then it's not about talent, it's about marketing. Maybe she can sing and hasn't been allowed to have creative freedom due to legal issues, well then I don't know her full potential but she signed whatever contract she signed. I am not a fan and besides people liking what's marketed and shoved down their throat or people not conscious to what they listen to, I can't understand why people like her. Maybe there's more to her I haven't explored for various reasons but from what I've heard, including accapella tracks, the fact she's rich and famous boggles my mind.

Why would you assume I want to dismiss or critique your work? Unlike yourself who appears to just want to slag off artists for no reason, I have no reason to do that. As a musician myself, I think anyone making music should be commended for being creative and expressing themselves, in fact the more artistic expression and ideas in the world, the better.
If someone pays for or makes your daughter a beat and she ends up writing songs for people like Alice Cooper, Britney Spears, The Veronicas and Ariana Grande as well as a result then maybe it is more about marketing but I highly doubt it. I would say that the simplest answer is Kesha is a damn good pop songwriter which makes sense because apart from being able to play the saxophone and trumpet, she is apparently very smart and hardworking
If you can't understand why people like different music then you shouldn't really be making comments about art or music because it suggest your world view is extremely limited and saying "Music is subjective just as all art is but there is a line that needs to he drawn when the music created is utter crap" is just lewronggeneration elitist bullshit not to mention childish and close minded.

She may very well be a good song writer, but I'm not talking about that. Also although art is subjective there is a line between quality vs crap, easy attention/ money vs heart, etc. I along with many others have recently had this similar discussion regarding the new wave of artists submitting their creations like blank canvases and a glass box as art which although subjective is still a very lazy attempt regardless whether or not it brings up discussion or gets attention.You telling me I have no say is hypercritical. I'm far from closed minded which is a very ignorant assumption just because I disagree with u or have a different opinion on one topic. Im glad you have an altruistic view on art where any one who attempts it is bring creative and contributing, but in the mainstream where anyone is marketed regardless of talent, it creates the issue we have now, a million mediocre artists making money off mindless unconscious people. Kesha, or more specifically the music she has made popular, is nothing more than a niche, a fad, and lazy attempt at music. Maybe she is truly expressing herself and maybe there are actually millions who find her music positive or even deep. I however specifically find her music to be pure marketing and nothing more. Maybe when she clears her legal issues and makes music she truly wants to then I'll have a different opinion. I'm discussing the songs she has popularized, ur talking about her work ethic, ability to play instruments, and song writing abilities, things I have not brought up nor was I referring to. So you're a musician? Why take your time creating music? Why not just take something u heard and switch it up a little? Why not just write what people want to hear and not what's in ur heart? Why not just create an image off mediocre crap u can do in a day instead of write music from the heart that takes weeks or months? Should i expect to bang out a song by tomorrow and expect u to like it or give me credit because of the fact I'm creating? Of course not. If my intent is to put out music from my heart that's one thing, if my intent is to slap together crap to make a buck that's another. And I'll take ur word for it, Kesha is a great song writer, although based on the songs I've heard, her lyrics are thoughtless. If u feel her lyrics have heart and conscious thought behind them, then we obviously have completely different views on what good music is. U say I have no say and I'm closed minded, but trust me, offer me a million dollars to put out that crap and I'll turn it down in a heartbeat.

You can say you're not close minded but you're just dismissing what she has created and insulting it and her hard work because of your opinion of it when a lot of people do enjoy it which is one of the main reasons for art to exist, for enjoyment and to broaden horizons. Throwing around phrases like 'unconscious people' is once again elitist bullshit designed to make you feel better about yourself. I find her music positive (well some of it, I only know about 4 maybe 5 songs) and she is truly expressing herself and who are you to say it's lazy. You don't know anything about the process. You call it lazy music and then state you're not talking about her work ethic or song writing abilities? There have been lots of fads and niches in art, but that doesn't detract from it, it has its time and place.
Yes I am a musician and I create music because I take pleasure from both the creation and performance of it. I have taken stuff I have heard and switched it up i.e. doing unique covers or songs based off themes or riffs in other songs an example being taking the Dr.Who theme and making a long psych jam out of it. I have written what I think people want to hear and I have done stuff from 'in my heart'. Yes, if you bang out a song tomorrow I would give you credit for creating something even if i didn't like it. Kesha did the same but it turns out a lot of people really liked it. Not everything is some Illuminati conspiracy to control the masses. In fact, I would highly recommend reading about her early life
Personally I don't believe all art has to have heart and conscious thought behind it. Sometimes it is just about the visceral feeling and a more primal feeling. I've played in punk bands where the lyrics had not much thought at all, it was more about the music. I've also played instrumental pieces.
At the end of the day, all this boils down to you not liking her music, and thats totally fine. You just don't have to be such a smug cunt about it pretending you're so more cultured because when Kesha has fans in people like Iggy Pop, Alice Cooper, Ben Folds and Wayne Coyne then you should probably at least have some humility and admit that it's all just horses for courses

him honestly not knowing who she was, is the best part. He didnt do it intentionally to hurt her feelings but more because he had no idea who she was and wasnt interested in giving her a hug. He wasnt being a dick at all but some people have been letting me have it because I found it hilarious.

It's understandable--I don't let random people hug me. Some people are big huggers--I am not. And if Seinfeld is anything like his character on Seinfeld, he's not a hugger, either, so I love him for that. But if he had known who she was, he might have obliged her.

You know that she is used to having her ego stroked just like any other celebrity and probably assumed that her knew who she was and was hug her without question. To inadvertently give her a complex without even trying makes me laugh.

Couldn't agree anymore. He was in the middle of an interview and she hijacks the conversation because she thinks its okay to do so. He doesnt know who she is and doesnt want a hug so send her on her way. He even said no thank you so its not like he totally dogged her. He treated her like a normal person which I am sure she is not used to. Good shit

Not sure I would call him out of touch because he has no reason to have to stay "in touch" with pop culture. He is an A list celeb that treated kesha like any other person and didnt stroke her ego which I am sure she is used to. He had no idea who she was so he didnt intentionally dis her but didnt want to be grabbed on while in the middle of an interview. Even politely said no thank you and it was great!

Old celebrity who is known for his elitism, yeah, he's out of touch.
Wow, you seem to have a pretty big preconceived notion and want to look down on her for no reason (and you seem to be as out of touch as Jerry, just google her hardships over the last few years and maybe not be so quick to judge someone).
lil_chad ยท 1 points ยท Posted at 19:30:41 on June 7, 2017 ยท (Permalink)
I am totally not looking down on her and no nothing about her background. Everyone has their own personal struggles that the public may not know about so I empathize with those. On the flip side of that, she is paid millions of dollars to perform and be a personality figure head for pop culture. She chose that industry so that bull shit comes with the territory. I have struggles that would rival whatever hers are but I am not in the public eye so I will not feel sorry for her in that respect. She is still a human being with real emotions and feelings but this incident was fucking hilarious and it is the reason it was online.

Sure, it was not the most apt way to tell someone you appreciate them but Jerry is still an out-of-touch, unfunny prick that literally made a billion dollars because people watched his show. He owes it to his fans.

This isn't a private interview, he isn't a king, they're on a red carpet, these interactions happen all the time and the interviewers love it when they happen. Plus she's not demanding a hug like he owes her one, she's asking for one because she probably likes his show or something.

Jerry: "Why should I have to give a hug?" Kramer: "It's a kind gesture, Jerry!" Jerry: "I don't know her, I DON'T HAVE TO GIVE OUT FREE HUGS!" Kramer: "It's not the end of the world, Jerry, give her a hug!" Jerry: "I DON'T WANNA HUG, I DON'T WANNA HUG!"

Kesha without makeup looks like a dyslexic albino hairless mole rat. With makeup, she looks like a heroin addict with a botched nose and cheek job from Cuba. Pretty, but your gut tells you that you should not have physical contact with it. Looks like Jerry's gut won this one.

Jerry Seinfeld has always seemed like such an uber asshole. He seems incredibly conceiting. I imagine his house is full of shrines to himself. I've never seem an interview with him where he doesn't manage to mention what an amazing and successful person he is. He always reminds people that Seinfeld was the #1 show on TV when he decided to end it. He's also the type of person who i've never seen thank anyone else for helping. He's not the "Oh, I don't deserve this award all to myself because I couldn't have done it without these other people *cough*Larry David*cough*". Rather he seems like the "yes I am an amazing person, and you'll all laugh at this, because you think I'm being sarcastic about my self-centered-ness. You'll think no one can really be this full of themselves, so you'll laugh, but the thing is, I really do love myself this much, and think that I deserve all the awards in the world". Then he'll do his awkward fake laugh.

Hmm, ok. I did say I thought he seemed like that, not that I knew for a fact. And in my opinion you can get a pretty good opinion about someone even if you don't know them personally. That's like saying you can consider Bill Cosby a rapist, unless he raped you personally. I'm not basing this purely on his role in Seinfeld the show. I've seen a lot of his stuff, heard him on podcasts, seen him on webshows, seen him on interviews, etc. I've also seen/heard other people talking about him, so I think it's not purely based on nothing. I know that people don't like to think of their idols as being anything but perfect human beings, but that's just not always the case.

Imagine every time you leave the house people you don't know want to come up and hug you, I'm sure after a couple of decades the novelty would have completely worn off. Apparently he can be very standoffish with lots of people, even other stand up comics. I think his honesty in not wanting to partake in this fake shared "moment" with strangers is commendable.

Autists have trouble picking up on social cues, if you know anything about Seinfeld you would know that his comedy is built on stuff like that. He obviously 'gets it' very well that's why his comedy is so insightful, but since you might be autistic let me just tell you that if he says he doesn't it's for the purpose of humor.

I honestly don't think being a celebrity means you owe fans anything actually, i just hate the argument that celebrities "are regular people." they're not, living in the spotlight is a full time job and it doesn't happen by accident. they want to be there. There has to be some way people can condemn rude and overly-demanding fans without pretending that its wholly and completely out of left field unheard of that people would want to come up and meet celebrities for novelty value or other reasons. The reality of the world is that being a celebrity means you're going to get chatted up in public a lot. its not alright, but it is what it is so you gotta find a way to handle that that works for you if you're going to be a celebrity.
i can think ke$ha is out of line and rude for interrupting and touching without asking and also think the way jerry handled it - albeit while well within his rights - was rude as well for the reasons i stated above.

No I don't. Its just young celebrities meeting huge veteran celebs, people admire and (even if they are shit celebrities) I feel like it's okay to just be nice, instead of rejecting them publicly. No one owes anyone anything. I just feel like in that situation I personally would just give a quick hug or handshake ( any gesture really besides straight up rejection)

One time when I was in high school, backstage at intermission during a play (yeah I did theatre/drama club), a girl I knew but was not at all friends with was going around hugging people for no reason. I was hoping she wouldn't pull that shit on me, but she did. I did almost exactly the same thing Seinfeld did, but without the "idk you" look. I just put up my hands and said, "no thanks." She asked why and I said "Well I mean, we're not really friends; I only hug friends" and she shrugged and walked away.
The reason I didn't hug her is because she slept with so many guys at our school I was afraid of getting herpes. And I'm not trying to make a joke or be an ass about it, I'm being frank. I did not want to touch her.

This is an interesting interaction to observe. It's a collision of boundaries and entitlement. Jerry, age 63, knows and defends his boundaries. Kesha, age 30, doesn't respect those boundaries and feels entitled to hugging Jerry. When Jerry repeatedly declines, Kesha pouts and sulks away.
So often, people aren't willing to uphold their boundaries and then feel violated and frustrated afterwards. Kudos to Jerry. Kesha needs to grow up.
Thoughts?

I'll get downvoted into oblivion but.. what's so special about people "in the spectrum" that they know how to function/learn/grasp/understand/know how to do anything in life except chill and give a fucking hug? Sounds like giving an easy pass to me but I'm sure most will say I'd have to be it to know it.

I give into your hug and next thing you know slavery is legal again. I have the right to say no to harmless shit for no reason" dick head.

I would much rather hang out with Kesha than Jerry Seinfeld... and not for the obvious purposes. She's supposed to be a very bright person, she seems fun and has overcome of abuse.

I can understand not wanting a hug from a stranger (celebrity or not.) However, Jerry Seinfeld is simply rude to people. Watch a few of his episodes of Comedians In Cars Getting Coffee. He openly talks awful to celebrity guests about fans. I used to consider myself a "Seinfeld fan", but after seeing how he treats decent people tarnished my view of him. He's become too elite and forgotten that these regular everyday people lifted him to his heights. Simply, not for me. Example: https://youtu.be/s45JT_-7v24

I started watching Comedians in Cars because I was largely a Seinfeld fan. My personal opinion of him changed a few episodes in. I think he's honest about who he is, and there's merit to that.

I mean autism, contrary to popular belief, is not really a disease that you either have or you don't. Really we are all on the autism spectrum in a sense. My point is that as someone who's worked with autistic people and followed Jerry Seinfeld for a long time it's clear that he definitely is on the more autistic side of the scale compared to most people.

Well, what do you think autism is? It is essentially personality traits and when those personality traits are severe enough we call them autism. Jerry Seinfeld would perhaps not be diagnosed with autism if they tested him but he certainly wouldn't be far off.

AFAIK Asperger is no longer associated with autism from the last DSM.

Asperger is now the same thing as autism according to the DSM. Aspergers used to be sort of "lesser autism", now they decided to scrap the Aspie thing and just call everything "autism spectrum disorder".
appdevil ยท 1 points ยท Posted at 23:06:46 on June 6, 2017 ยท (Permalink)
Well, they are not the same but they are indeed under the same umbrella term. What was know as Asperger is now defined probably as a mild condition of "Autism Spectrum Disorder".

You are mostly right, I'm just saying that if gorillas and orangutans are both apes - still it doesn't make the gorillas to be the same term as apes and etc. Asperger (the former term) is a mild condition of autism it's not equals to autism.

Tbh, I think Seinfeld handled the situation poorly- it was a fan (who cares if she is famous or not) asking for nothing else but a simple hug.. it doesn't take more than a couple of seconds, but he chose in that situation to yet again prove to the media and the world that Jerry Seinfeld doesn't care about any of his fans..
theghostmachine ยท 2 points ยท Posted at 02:04:11 on June 7, 2017 ยท (Permalink)
I don't think he's ever tried to hide how he feels about anything, so there's nothing to "prove." You either like him for it, or you don't. Don't try expecting anything different from him.
I don't get why being a fan of someone means they should have to hug me. That's stupid. There's ways to show your appreciation without hugs.
S0FF ยท 1 points ยท Posted at 02:57:36 on June 7, 2017 ยท (Permalink)
I understand your point of view, i do- but then, its only a hug, and in the end will mean a great deal to a fan that loved what you acted in, maybe your role in a tv series helped them a great deal and you were a positive force in their lives. Any prominent person in the media/politics/entertainment industry puts their life and their persona in the limelight of fans and sacrifice some privatel life in exchange for the massive monetary compensation they recieve for their work. And in the case of an actor, you are in the position you are in because you struck a chord with your fanbase. Your fans, is the exact reason why you stand on the red carpet clutchig that award for the movie that millions adore. Being rude to your fans is no way to behave to the people that for any number of reasons idolize you. A simple "im sorry, but i really do not like hugging" would've gracefullynsufficed and a no means no, i get that. But the way he turns around and says that he doesn't know who that was like she was some kind of crazy person afterwards in a manner where he acts like he is on a pillar staring down at "mere mortals". Also, this is further backed up with the fact You don't have to look hard to read all the stories of how he treats the people around him be it fans or writers, he is notoriously difficult to work with and has on multiple occassions been rude to fans and staff at hotels and restaurants. Even talk show hosts. The way he displayed carelessness in the fact a fan stood before him was far from fitting from someone who considers himself "royalty" in the world of comedy. I still get your point, a no is a no and that fan should've accepted that the first time, but the way he handled that situation is not fitting of any grown up in a position to influence people that look up to one.

It's incredibly difficult to prove rape, especially in a situation like this, but that doesn't make it untrue. And I don't really understand why you think she would lie about it, considering it's essentially made her life very difficult and put her career on hold, if not ended it completely. She was desperately trying to get out of a contract with him even though it was successful. To me, that really implies something happened.

I'm not going to call you a misogynist. I just disagreed with you and wanted to know where your opinion came from. Don't really think it's "needlessly contrarian" to argue that rape allegations shouldn't be dismissed out of hand because you disapprove of the person's life choices.

They think she lied because Reddit believes a hugely disproportionate amount of rape accusations are false because it is one of the very few places that women are given more credit than men and it terrifies them. But none of this actually matters because it was a shitty rape joke that people are still trying to defend because they are really fucking stupid.

No, we believe there should be due process. If someone is accused of rape, it doesn't mean anything until they are convicted of it. Innocent until proven guilty is a thing. He may have done it, and if he gets convicted then I will agree he's a piece of shit.

In a roundabout way we should be happy. Because if any of these people were ever raped they would not hold this position. So, by being idiots, it shows they haven't been raped, which is a very good thing.

Clearly the only troll here is you. The allegations against the manager were sexual, physical and psychological abuse as well as a shitty restrictive contract. If you take rape from all that and focus specifically on that, that's your interpretation but you are incredibly wrong.

The reference of the joke is that she is more emotionally damaged by this than the alleged rape by her manager. The joke references the rape allegation. How does the joke not reference rape? What other emotional damage done by her manager could the joke be referring to?
kittenwithadildo ยท -1 points ยท Posted at 02:09:10 on June 7, 2017 ยท (Permalink)
I didn't say the joke didn't reference rape (though it can easily be argued that it didn't, bc her manager fucked her in more ways than just literally), but it wasn't centered around rape. Just because something is referenced doesn't make the joke about that.
I really don't care. I hope it was a rape joke. Bc at the end of the day, it was just a joke. And anyone who gets upset by it is emotionally unintelligent.

Look how this turd bag argues...
You just supported shaming a person for being accused a rape then shifted the goal post to "caring about social issues" after being called out so you could falsely attempt to gain the moral high ground in argument.
I bet you think there is a rape epidemic on college campuses and there is a gender pay gap too.
This is the the sign of an intellectually weak person.

Let's go through your post one accusation at a time.
First, I never supported shaming the manager, so you just made that up. I didn't shift the goalposts, the other poster brought up sjw, and I pointed out that it isnt an insult to me, because I'm not an idiot. So you're wrong about that point. The whole thing about the moral high ground is hilarious. As if I'd ever have to prove moral superiority over people making rape jokes? And yes I do believe in the wage Gap and the that there are many sexual assaults on college campuses because that's what the most qualified sociologists I've encountered believe, and they provide good evidence. Also I'm in mensa, so I am pretty fucking smart, but more importantly I'm not swayed by pseudo profound bullshit, I usually don't bring that up, but you brought it to this point.

Ok, first you have to stop rejecting mainstream science and accept that people that dedicate their lives to particular fields of study are more credible than blog posts.

Except that I provided you the link with an actual video attached to it. This is not an opinion piece or analysis that I'm trying to impart. I posted the link to the actual deposition where it proves Kesha lied afterwards. The reason why it's TMZ is because they're the ones who got a hold of this tape in the first place and they're the original source.
The fact is that you immediately tried to discredit the source without even checking to see what was in it despite claiming you were "open to new info", so excuse me if I'm not impressed by your sanctimonious guilt trip act, as if me correctly calling you out for that is unreasonable.

He recognizes that she screwed up by interrupting an interview and responded appropriately.
Jerry is self-preservation incarnate and has likely considered more social faux pas in his life than anyone else on TV. He knew exactly how to react to her and maximize the laughs.

If I was famous and rich and beloved, yeah I would. And yaknow what, yeah I would now too. It's a hug. Not like I'm gonna catch HIV because of it.
I hate this mentality that "famous people are just like us" because, at least IMO, no they aren't. They picked acting, comedy, music, whatever. They know they're well known and beloved. I'm not saying that they should have no privacy but if they're out in public, especially at an event, yeah give a fucking hug.

Not that it really correlates whatsoever, but I dunno, I may see Dr. Luke as a mega douche that is great at producing, but her allegations seem warped to me. I don't buy it.

I have no idea who Kesha is either, but am I the only one even thinking about whether she is attractive or not? I mean I was reading the comments here and the issue is not even raised. I tend to assume that for most guys there is a big difference between receiving a hug from a woman you think is extraordinarily beautiful and one you think is ugly or gross etc. It is hard for me to imagine refusing a hug from a very beautiful girl, but I would not want to be touched by ugly women or men. But hey maybe it's just me.

That's really bad. So if someone asks you for directions will you only help those you find attractive? This is really bad. You are treating people differently based solely on whether you are attracted to them or not.

Does Jerry Seinfeld seem like a stop and hugger to you? Even if he knew who you were? And she interrupted him. They could make an entire episode of Curb about this. But a 63 year old man not knowing who someone half his age is, is totally understandable. Poor Kesha, though. Hasn't she been through enough? Hasn't even released anything new since her debut years ago.

If she was a really big fan I think she would know to expect that reaction.
On another note, this kind of reminded me of the Seinfeld episode where that woman kisses Jerry hello every time they see each other. Jerry tries to find a way out of the kiss hello during the episode, and he eventually does. I think in his personal life those kinds of acts of affection are things he tries to avoid happening to him, so that whenever he sees that person in the future, there is no chance he'll have to go through that kiss hello or in this case, a hug with Kesha each time.

Jer-bear here has described himself as "being on a spectrum" (in reference to autism) so maybe he just doesn't like it when people just try to hug him. seems like an any day run of the mill awkward encounter just with famous people

Could you imagine however? For him this happens constantly, just the fact that he gave his time, (which is the most valuable currency we all have) to a complete stranger is a big gesture. I'd not like to be famous for that reason.

In all fairness to both celebrities, musicians and comedians mix like oil and water. I won't say they hate each other, but a lot of times they can be in competition for stage time. Not these two, I get that... My only real interaction with celebrities was sitting in a bar after a concert and all the members of Seether walked in. They were cool as frozen hell, bought shots, talked to us for a couple hours, and genuinely surprised me. I've also walked past Mike Epps in downtown Indy and he didn't look at me so I just walked on. Indy 500... Now there's a people watching event.

So famous people will only hug other famous people. If this were an episode of Seinfeld he'd spend the rest of the 22 minutes trying to explain his totally reasonable behavior to everyone he meets (I was already being trap-talked by a non-famous person about sleep for some reason--How was I supposed to know she was a celebrity with all that hair in her face?) Hilarious consequences ensue, and for because good things happen to bad people, Steve Bannon gets paid royalties. We're living in an alternate universe.

To be fair to Jerry, if you know the guy then waving hello & him acknowledging is a win. To be fair to Kesha, even if you know the above you prolly expect being celebrities at the same event buys you a hug

He probably has to say no to people trying to touch him or hug him all the time. He is the most successful actor ever. I know I'd love to shake his hand, introduce my self, and tell him I love his work. He has to get that shit all the time.

This isn't funny, but neither was his show. But laugh it off cuz he's worth a bil. The coolest thing about him is his Porsche collection.
Hopefully he doesn't choke on his spit laughing at someone else's rejection. There's a way to handle things with tact, being smug about it doesn't make it comedy.

How is this surprising? He's sort of morphed into an asshole, or he always was one and I had never noticed. After enough comedians in cars getting coffee I started to see how he treated wait staff at these locations and the comedians he was talking with directly (Jim Gaff's episode for example).
He's just put on that wealthy older man persona who talks down to people as if they're below him as humans. He's not a class act like others in his circle. It's unfortunate, with all that opportunity and money he has the potential to be a better person.
FYI: It didn't matter that it was Kesha. I don't think he's into hugs in general, or at least I don't get a "warm vibe" from him.

Clearly doing an interview, deliberately interrupting an interview for a hug is a dick move. I'd say it's pretty fair to refuse a hug in that situation

Time for my top cringe story to come out in the open.
On a family holiday stop off in Las Vegas a fair while ago, and we thought we'd stomp around the casinos a bit, see the sights. Whilst going through the lobby of Caeser's Palace, my dad recognised a famous bloke (no idea who the guy was) and asked if I could have a picture with him (very out of character as my dad was in the business and usually left talent alone). Jerry replies "sure, ok", and having only ever had my pictures taken with lower level soccer players, I thought the done thing would be to put my arm around him, like we'd known each other our whole lives. There were audible gasps. So Jerry Seinfeld is stood there being boy-handled by a sweaty ginger english boy from Reading whilst dad awkwardly wrestles a very basic nikon point and shoot bought the day before. After the experience, Jerry was very quickly whisked through a side door, probably to burn his suit, and I was still more or less oblivious as to what had just happened.
"Lets see the picture Dad".
"...... sorry Will, I pressed the power button by mistake."

my theory is that Jerry's ultimate fear is to be truly outwitted/embarrassed/caught off-guard; especially by a non-celebrity. He hates to be the one that gets "got". This fear was born out of the intense anonymous hate that fame brings; he not only built armor against that hate but put spikes on the armor. Refusing to hug is one of those spikes. anyway just a theory i dont know the guy

This is what I imagine a few Hollywood stars to be like, but meaner. Jerry does say he wishes her the best and clearly doesn't like to be hugged. The laughter is a bit awkward. Kesha could have just ended it with 'love your work, have a nice day' rather than freak out.

Its sad that I know this. But she was signed under a music producer that supposedly physically and mentally abused her. Calling her fat, and a refrigerator, and talking down to her to the point that she ended up becoming bulimic. Her mom entered her into a rehab facility for her bulimia after seeing how small she was getting. I guess rehab must have REALLY worked and now has gained weight after discovering how great food is with all her money available.

I saw Jerry Seinfeld at a grocery store in Los Angeles yesterday. I told him how cool it was to meet him in person, but I didnโt want to be a douche and bother him and ask him for photos or anything.
He said, โOh, like youโre doing now?โ
I was taken aback, and all I could say was โHuh?โ but he kept cutting me off and going โhuh? huh? huh?โ and closing his hand shut in front of my face. I walked away and continued with my shopping, and I heard him chuckle as I walked off. When I came to pay for my stuff up front I saw him trying to walk out the doors with like fifteen Milky Ways in his hands without paying.
The girl at the counter was very nice about it and professional, and was like โSir, you need to pay for those first.โ At first he kept pretending to be tired and not hear her, but eventually turned back around and brought them to the counter.
When she took one of the bars and started scanning it multiple times, he stopped her and told her to scan them each individually โto prevent any electrical infetterence,โ and then turned around and winked at me. I donโt even think thatโs a word. After she scanned each bar and put them in a bag and started to say the price, he kept interrupting her by yawning really loudly.

Jerry was in Madison years back. 8 or 9 at this point if I recall correctly and my girlfriend at the time was working at the hotel he was staying at. He ordered room service and she delivered to his room. An assistant of some sort answered the door and let her in to set the food down and get the room ticket signed. Apparently Jerry stood on the other side of the room turned with his back to my ex facing the curtains. Not staring out the windows just at closed curtains in order to not have to see her or be seen. Nice guy.

Oh. No, I'm not joking. She talks over music. And all of her songs are like this.
She also wears a vial of her own period blood around her neck sometimes because it gives her psychic powers, and she wears the blood of her fans sometimes, and also a necklace made from her moms placenta.

Jerry sienfeld is a greedy charlatan. He's hoarding medatative knowledge with howard stern called transcendental meditation, which is a basic techique that can be learned in 15 minutes, and saying that people have to pay thousands of dollars to learn something that should be taught freely and you can only learn it through his special instructors even though they didn't invent the techniques and probably learned it for free themselves. Now he's working with youtube to ban the accounts of anyone who tries to teach the simple method to the world for free to help humanity. Greedy greedy little person.

I've been practicing it for 15 years, and I'm just a normal dude who learned it for free. You're acting like he's one of the only people in the world who knows something (that's actually widely practiced). Anyone can go to their local library, bookstore or even Google and learn this for themselves. So what if the guy's trying to sell water to fish, or if a few idiots are actually buying it. It's not like the knowledge is actually being gatekept.

Sure. But if you and I know that, then other people do, too. And I guarantee you, when people think of learning meditation techniques, they're going to Google, not some celebrity.
He'll sell a few seats to a few idiots, tops. These are the same types of people who probably bought ointments that would "cure any sickness" back in history. Barely anyone fell for it then, and they won't fall for this, either. Don't get so bent out of shape about it, it's not worth it. :)

Hey just because there are people who fall for it doesn't make them in the wrong. They are just people looking to better themselves and might be a little gullible ok, but that doesnt make it right. Its con artist like seinfeld who are in the wrong trying to scam his fellow human beings and he's still helping to prevent other people who want to freely teach others out of sheer kindness and people like seinfeld are trying to stop them? The nerve of the kind of person who does that is just plain wrong. I mean the guy is already a multi millionaire.. how greedy do you have to be to already be so rich but still participating in cons and suppress info?

If you watched "Comedians in Cars", Seinfeld's comfort zone is putting down service staff for no apparent reason, not hugging lesser human beings.

I didn't say he was obligated, he wasn't respectful. She wasn't entitled, she was a fan caught in the moment of seeing him. He refused her and it made her feel weird. Not because she was Kesha. You will, of course, still argue against it and use elementary circular logic, so I don't care if you try retorting. Feel free to grab that same pitchfork.

Dude, he was in the middle of conducting an interview. And he's a known germaphobe and the entire show centers around him being neurotic. He said it three times to her. Not everyone likes hugging, some people are weird with their personal space. Show respect for peoples boundaries. Or don't, and make up some weird analogy in your head about pitchforks or something if it makes you feel better lol

Neat, glad you're able to defend Jerry Seinfeld because someone has to do it. I definitely should show respect for a millionaire's boundaries on his ostensible germaphobia. But what's the deeeaaaall with hand dryers?? They just moisten your hands until you're tired of standing there and need to wipe them on your pants!

Its a hug not the end if the world get the fuck over it, it lasts 2 seconds then its over with, you people make a big drama out of everything cuz youre a bunch of little snowflakes. The fact is he made a dick move and shouldve just hugged the girl without making a big deal out of it because its a fucking hug and everyone wouldve just gotten on with their lives, anyone with common sense knows it, but no snowflakes like you always pull this victim shit and turn everything into a sexual assault case, not all bodily contact is harassment you mindless twat, and i aint buyin your over dramatic bullshit now now get lost

In 20 years time his name will be remembered and I'd bet you she's going to be famous only as a footnote on Jerry's Wikipedia page for this incident.

1.) he was in the middle of an interview and giving his attention to someone else. Its rude for her to think she can just walk up to him and interupt the interview
2.) It's not like he was being a dick about it he literally said " no thanks," not everyone likes to be touched.
3.) Not all celebs that you know, know each other. They aren't friends Kesha was being a fan girl and a really bad one at that. No celebrity wants you to run up to them and beg for a hug when you are in the middle of something else. Ill restate again, it's fucking rude
This has nothing to do with stardom or fame. Kesha was being rude as fuck

I would like to point out even the most polite celebrities interrupt eachother on red carpet interviews. Its rypically one of the only places they will see eachother. What you don't see is how often those parts get cut out of the interviews you like to watch. Did he have to hug her? No. But a handshake is polite. Many of which here have agreed with that. However I feel like you are overly emotionally involved in this. You don't like hugs we won't hug you here no problem.

This looks like it's at a David Lynch foundation for Transcendental Meditation event.

Sorry, I didn't catch that. If that's the case, he probably just thought she was some dirty hippie....jokes....and those are two institutions a bit more meditation could be beneficial.

Come the fuck on. The guy would have been looked at as a 100% rapist and a pervert, and the woman a strong archetype that fought off her attacker. Instead of it being about a socially awkward jew who was mean to a fan.

I've noticed that it's generally much easier for men to say "no" and maintain a "no" when physical touch is requested multiple times. This is actually an awesome example of knowing your boundaries and protecting them.
I've always believed that when someone says "no" in response to someone else asking to touch them, it's just them taking care of and protecting themselves. It'd be cool if Kesha was like, "Cool, thanks for taking care of yourself Jerry!"
Cuz that's pretty much what happened. Yay for Seinfeld for maintaining his boundaries and Kesha for respecting them (in the end, after a couple asks)!

Never said germaphobic. If you worked with him, then you probably didn't see him interact with many strangers. Twice I've seen him act almost identical to this video when people tried to shake his hand. You said it yourself that 'he's careful' so how is what I said not true "at all"?
wweshill ยท 1 points ยท Posted at 05:34:58 on June 7, 2017 ยท (Permalink)
Seen him interact many times with strangers. I'm operations manager at a place he does stand up a lot. I wouldn't classify him as "germaphobic" as I have never seen him refuse to shake my hand or anyone else nor is he particular about his drinks or food. He just not a huggy feely type guy . There is no fucking way he's hugging a stranger especially a trampy looking one. He's not that type and being interrupted? That would freak him the fuck out.
Is he neurotic? Yeah Germophobe? Nah.

So, because he's wealthy, he should be obligated to the whims of everyone around him? Get the fuck outta here.
Why the hate? He put the work in and earn his wealth. It's not like he was born into it.
He's put up with enough shit over the years where now that he's on the top he doesn't even know what it smells like anymore. And good on him for it. He earned it.

Only in an idiot's mind is "No thanks" considered rude. Meanwhile, a woman who interrupts an interview to ask for a hug, then ignores the refusal to continue asking for a hug, then ignores again and attempts to move in for a hug anyway, is not considered rude. Yeah, you're an idiot.

So you can call someone you don't know a jerk, but someone else can't you an idiot for spouting flawed logic in a public forum?
What you said was pretty idiotic. He should except a hug he didn't want and refused three times because you feel he should? How is that not idiotic?
I'm going to wait till you're talking to someone and interrupt, then I'm going to try and try force myself on you even after you tell me no.
Now imagine if some guy did that to her. You'd be outraged. Right? Boarder line rape maybe?

You can read his lips saying 'I don't know who that was.' The reporter said 'that was Ke$ha.' Jerry was like 'oh, uh okay.' Lmao. What's commendable is how she reacted to rejection. I respect her not making a scene like most girls would do nowadays. Instead, she politely ducked away. Kudos Ke$ha! He should shout her out in a tweet. She looked like good people. She was just tryna show some love.

His Seinfeld character essentially is the real him. He's both of those things you mentioned, and doesn't care to hide it. He doesn't have too. He's richer and more successful than all of us, so we can fuck off. That's why I love him.
Actually it's just that a lot of the social things humans do he finds weird and unnecessary. Like hugging.

So it would be completely okay if a 10 year walked walked up to a celebrity (while asking for a hug) and they celebrity says no? I mean I understand everyone is okay with this but it's a fan. I feel like if she wasn't so hated, people would be like "wow, what a douche."
I'm not saying he is or isn't but I feel like there is a double standard here. I feel like if this was Kim Kardashian saying no, people would be flipping their shit.

Why should he have to hug someone? I guarantee if this were reversed everyone would be calling him a creep but since it's a cute little blonde chick he is a prick. Furthermore, I don't blame him he didnt know her and she ran up and just assumed he owed her a hug thats fucking weird.

Rewatch the video. All I see is Jerry saying thanks for the I love you comment from Kesha, and Jerry politely refusing the hug that Kesha kept insisting he give. He was as polite as anyone can be in that situation Kesha just made it akward by being persisting.

You know she wasn't rude, because you had to lie and say she "demanded" a hug. She did no such thing. She asked for one. It's a social courtesy to give a hug. That's the society we're in. If he's not comfortable, he could have just said, "I don't give hugs, but here's a handshake" or something. Instead he acted like a fucking dirtbag.

I don't know which community you live in, but there's no social courtesy to give hugs to anyone. That's no society I've ever heard of, and might be the reason why we're looking at this situation in such diametrically opposite ways.
Also, you can demand something with a question. The more you know, right? Remember, be respectful to others.

My point about celebrity is that there's nothing random about a person asking for a hug. And especially when you're at a social event like he was there. And no, he's not required, but it's no different than refusing to shake hands. It's going to be criticized for being rude. And rightfully so.

You realize that the descendants of Christ and the early Christians who populated Europe after the Roman empire fell are of Jewish blood, right?
