Seinfeld says that far left woke mobs have killed comedy. He also dated a 17-year-old. (lemmy.world)

Weird how these woke kids keep killing comedy while still being the best comedians, and it's always the ones leaning on their 30+ year old sets that think it's a problem.

What is the deal with airline food, anyway?

What's the deal with time passing? It just happens! You don't want it to, but it does. One day you're riding high, one hand on Larry David's coattails and the other up some high school girl's skirt. You're thinking, "I'm gonna be on top forever. Everyone loves me now and it's always gonna be this way." Then the next day you're complaining about woke on a drive time radio show with Kid Rock. What's his deal anyway? He's not a rock, or even a kid. He's a man. He should be called Man Man.

You know who had a 30 year old set that was still awesome and hysterical to the very end? The Amazing Jonathan.

I got to see him in Vegas probably a few years before he died, he was doing shows in what amounted to a fancy conference room somewhere. I was the person called up to the stage, and even though I knew every single thing he was going to say and do, it was still just funny. I got to look him right in the eyes up close, and it was clear that he knew he was doing the same set he's done forever, in a conference room. and it seemed like we both knew that "WTF am I doing here?" added a whole other layer of funny to the whole thing.

Maybe I was reading too much into it. Maybe it was just the methamphetamine.

while still being the best comedians

can you recommend some?

If you haven’t heard it: Bill Burr Philadelphia Rant.

Look it up on YouTube. It’s unfortunately a crappy video, but the audio is straight gold. For 30 whole minutes it’s just Burr trashing the audience and Philadelphia and its perfection. Better than any stand up of the last few years because it’s organic and in the moment.

Bo Burnham is also fantastic if you want something introspective at the same time. Inside, by Bo Burnham was a critical piece of Covid media.

Bill Burr Philly

That was 2006.

Burr kills but is not new, nor is he a 'kid'.

But i dare you to call him that to his face.

I have a favorite link that for “full stand up comedy special” on YouTube and new ones pop up like every day. Listen to it on my commute, shower, dishes, etc.

The deal with airline food has nothing to do with the food, but everything to deal with the dry, low preassure air in an airplane lowering the sensitivity of our tastebuds, making thw food taste bland.
