Seinfeld is a show about nothing, and is about as funny as Napoleon Dynamite. This basically means that once you've watched it once and/or heard the jokes once, they cease to be funny.
It was OK, but at the same time it was unnecessarily long and really not funny most of the time.
I can appreciate high-brow humor, but that's not what Seinfeld is. Seinfeld is a show where you can make a joke based on the name of a mint-flavored candy and the studio audience wets themselves (while the rest of us dies a little inside).
Seinfeld isn't laugh-out-loud funny or particularly engaging, it's the type of comedy that makes you chuckle slightly and say things like:
- "That's so true!"
- "I know someone just like that."
- "If I had a nickel for every time that happened to me..."
- "It's funny because it's [insert sarcastic irony] / [insert attribute of object here]!"
- "I get it!"
- "NO SOUP FOR YOU!" (said after every time the guy says it)
It's good for drinking contests or to kill a half-hour and that's about it. It's a modern attempt at a show like "The Bob Newhart Show" and it falls somewhat short of the mark.
