Jerry Seinfeld, the legendary comedian, recently gave an emotional interview with Bari Weiss, discussing a range of topics including his recent trip to Israel during the war, the Oct 7 massacre, and his views on comedy and politics. Seinfeld expressed feeling 'a little bit' politicized by current events and shared his thoughts on traditional masculinity, which he believes is missing in today's society. He also promoted his new Netflix film 'Unfrosted,' which is based on the dominant masculinity of the 1960s. Seinfeld's candid remarks have sparked conversations about the impact of 'woke' culture on comedy, as he lamented how such ideals have influenced the comedic landscape. The interview also touched on topics like New York, antisemitism, and Pop-Tarts.
Seinfeld has struck no chord with me. I honestly don’t think Jerry Seinfeld is even capable of offending people. Which, again, is why it’s objectively strange to see him of all people getting on this particular soapbox while promoting a totally benign movie about Pop Tarts. AK https://t.co/ovEYbq9HBo

Look, Seinfeld is entitled to think, broadly/generalizing, “comedy” isn’t as funny as it used to be. It’s subjective, and his taste. Whatever. IDC. But, like, are you familiar with Larry David’s work over the last 20 years? Pretty sure he managed to evade the “PC police.” AK https://t.co/i55qnrbho3
You just said you’ve been “listening to Seinfeld recently” and agree w/him that “PC/woke culture has hurt comedy in many ways.” Thus, you also clearly understand what I mean when I say he’s now a self-appointed protector of all things anti-woke. You’re literally confirming it. AK https://t.co/CvbpEhVoox
My uncle used to stuff Jerry in a locker in high school over on Long Island. I’m happy to give him a call if Jerry wants to reminisce. https://t.co/5NH0XoniLH
“Is anybody ever on the left side of history? What would that look like?” — Jerry Seinfeld (not really)
My friend and I had this conversation after Jerry was lamenting how ‘woke’ ideals ruined comedy. Like, when has Jerry Fucking Seinfeld ever said something even the slightest bit provocative or edgy? Comedy is just fine. It’s in good hands if you’re even a bit clever. https://t.co/zKUhnh5As6
It is beyond bizarre how Jerry Seinfeld, among the least edgy, least alpha male comics of his generation, has gone full heel as a self-appointed protector of all things “anti-woke”… to promote a movie about Pop Tarts. AK https://t.co/NXRKnhSTBF

This is worth watching (or reading, there's a partial/clean-up transcript as well). An interview between Jerry Seinfeld and Bari Weiss. It's more about the nature of comedy these days than "politics" in any way. He loves what I love in humor: https://t.co/oCx4nNGkM9
