Anti-PC, washed up Seinfeld Highest Paid comic in the World

Jerry Seinfeld is awesome. People don't realize how much he helps up and coming comics ti find their footing. He's been a mentor for comedians for many years and he's still quite relevant in comedy. If he was washed up, he wouldn't be leading the list of highest paid comedians, I think that's pretty obvious.

Yeah, the use of "problematic" and the examples of "those who support his... ideology" makes it fairly obvious that the OP is being sarcastic.
If they're incredibly obvious sarcasm that practically beats you over the head like this thread, sure.
I remember reading this comment about how Jerry is like a psychopath and to be honest I wouldn't be surprised.
He seems off/douchey.

Should be this funnier, less PC comedian if it wasn't for fuckery at the highest echelons.
I still love Seinfeld though.
Nice 👌🏿👌🏿👌🏿

Make that bank Jerry. Looking forward to the Shandling ep of CCC.

Not really.
He's still doing well with Comedians in Cars and with Seinfeld syndication, but I haven't heard that he was still touring or anything like that, so it made it easy for me to think that the OP was legit holding a grudge from the last thread. I had no idea he still gets out there and performs.
If other people look at it like I did, it makes it pretty clear why there might be a disconnect. The troll was successful.

Man, I knew OP was being sarcastic, but those first few replies threw doubt into there.
Damn my groupthink.
Damn my groupthink.
Interesting that people are offended by the suggestion that some people may find him offensive.

Maron made this observation, too closed off, hiding too much kinda persona which I think is obvious watching him interact on ccc. The Stern episode was telling of that, he was really trying to get Jerry to be real for a moment but he was too closed off for that, or just didn't want to talk about banging women for Stern's fap bank. Either way guy does have the air of a sociopath, could've sworn I read something an ex of his said about him that he thought it was funny to break up people's relationships/marriages, which he did with her and her prior one. Dude is def weird, but hey he's given me a lot of yucks over the years so ¯\_(ツ
_/¯edit: Now I'm beginning to wonder if that episode of Seinfeld with Debra Messing was partly autobiographical XD

ITT: People who can't recognize extremely blatant sarcasm share their feelings about comedy.
Is it that blatant? Would seeing a thread title like this that was 100% serious on OT surprise you?

This is why people should read past titles
I did, my post included problematic which is in the post, not the title!

Some "right thinking" gaffers do and seriously sound like op's sarcastic post. Some of them are here now.

Whats silly is expecting people to know one way or the other from the OP text.

Probably. Has anyone ever used "anti-pc" as a serious critique on neogaf?

If I posted a thread with the title
"Muslim emperor Barrack Hussein Obama vetoes GOP defense bill, continues destroying America"
Would you believe I was serious?
Maybe in some console only threads hah haaAAAH.

I approve of this post. I also like how the op threw in some amy schumer bashing as an aside haha

Yep, almost as if they were..."Triggered".
Of course it's blatant. It has "Washed up comedian" as the highest paid comic in the world. What could be more blatant beyond typing "I AM BEING SARCASTIC" ?
Sorry I'm busy reblogging all of these porn gifs

Sarcasm was pretty obvious, guys. Come on now.
On topic: keep on keeping on, Jerome. You deserve every penny.

That title. Pretty hyperbolic Mac.
On topic, he's pretty tame so if he's having an issue with the climate on college campuses I'd be inclined to at least consider his position.
If it's a troll topic I'm not impressed. Satire and tone aren't well conveyed. Also hard to tell since it's pretty much the kind of sentiment trotted out by many people who find Seinfeld's opinion somehow offensive to their assumed absolute moral superiority.
