Dude we just didn’t laugh at bigoted jokes that we’d all heard before.

The man needs to watch The Darkness and binge his own show and curb your enthusiasm.

Or he could just keep being a jackass on stage and see if people start laughing at being lectured about being too sensitive

Jerry Seinfeld said that? I would have expected this crap from Cosmo Kramer.

all these old comedians get out of touch, don't know whats funny anymore and blame it on whatever the scapegoat du jour is.

His comedy sucks. That’s what’s killing comedy.

They have not killed comedy. The pushback has been glorious.

Yeah, it's like what jokes exactly have they killed...? Because you can still tell those jokes, it's just that you probably won't like the kind of audience it attracts.

If that’s all it took to kill comedy, it probably wasn’t worth saving.

When your brand of comedy deals heavily in the prejudices of a time (and most do) be prepared to adapt when times change. If you can’t or won’t, your career ends. That’s comedy, Jerry.

This guy never seemed funny to me, like it was just annoying to see his face on seinfeld.

Being kinda funny only gets you so far. I’m sure Jackie Gleason felt the same way a few decades after honeymooners left the air.
