@ChloroPhobeTarantino/ I agree. He "lives in the moment" when he delivers material. Sure, his material is rehearsed. He says in interviews that every single night is different even with material that works. He says that audiences are different even in the same venue. What works on a Friday or Saturday night might not work on say a Monday night. What works in New York doesn't necessarily work in the Midwest. And, he said that he might be having an "off night" where he's just not quite as sharp. I agree with your point. His VOICE INFLECTION IS CRITICAL TO THE DELIVERY. Have you seen the his stand-up presentation where he talks about marriage? Specifically, where he says, "I now know that often times I am using the wrong tone of voice even IN MY OWN HOUSE. My wife said I am using the wrong tone. I said, "what tone". She said, "THAT TONE". 😂 That whole 5 part series is hilarious. I think it's on "Jerry Seinfeld DOES HIS BEST TIGHT FIVE".
Welcome to TH-cam, a magnet for the introverted, socially maladjusted, miserable, immature prepubescent, crying for help future mass shooters. Its really weird and scary in here.
Tho he fuckd up and actually said "Words have meanings!" Which would have been hilarious if he meant to say that.... 🤔 and then went on about how words mean multiple things. But alas, I digress
+Cy Tolliver too many US tv talk shows encourage this idiotic "audience participation". it ruins the shows in my opinion. the daily show with jon stewbeef was the worst, and I think part of the reason he quit when he did, it became ridiculous.
+Cy Tolliver Yeah, this is true. I've been in the audience for Conan once, and they really do a good job at pumping you up and getting you excited with a comedian who talks pre show and during the break. That plus the group setting means you'll laugh at just about anything.
jerry seinfeld worked for 10 years creating and starring in one of the most beloved television shows of all time, and has earned the undying admiration of most people who were alive during that time. That's why people laugh at every word he says.
@@mistakay9019 Idk about worldwide but i came to America when i was 5...and i remember my dad was learning English so he would turn on the TV from time to time and even though he couldnt understand English that well he would still get a kick out of Seinfeld...
His jokes are timeless! People aren't just laughing at his jokes because he is Jerry Seinfeld. His jokes just resonate with young and old audiences. One of the best!
Personally I think he’s lost the fire. I’m a Seinfeld fan and was rolling years ago when I heard his first special. But in this it hurts to hear him deliver without any passion. I do comedy myself so maybe it’s something I have an ear for. His material is excellent but I’m pretty sure he’s had these same bits for 30 years. And even though the material is still good I think he’s changed and isn’t related to normal people like he used to be.
all's I can say after watching this is he loves doing comedy. nobody with his amount of money and freedom would be able to focus and edit and keep his chops unless he actually cared more about it than anything else in his life.
And that's why he has made the big bucks. Anyone can curse on stage, but not many can do 3 minutes on donut holes that makes perfect sense. Clean and funny, true comedy.
Jim gaffigan, enough said. Almost any famous comedian could do a clean 3 on doughnuts, they just wont. Because that negates their own personal voice as an artist. Judging clean and dirty comedy as good and bad comedy is stupid. It's like saying creed is better than nirvana because they never resorted to profanity. It is not only wrong, but very offensive to those who can handle and enjoy nirvana ('dirty comedy') instead of nickleback ('clean comedy')
Seinfeld never made me laugh. His comedy is making me smirk or do a "hah" at most but most of the time it's just a person discussing lifeday mundane matters that nobody wants to hear about. Dunno what all the rave is about
@@Rev3rence - You’re right. What I always wonder is how he so wealthy (he said to be worth $950 million) while there are other comedians of his era who are way better than him and have produced way better content and a lot of it and for a long time. Let’s look at it objectively - this guy’s major product, you could say, is “Seinfeld” which again is not half as funny or great as it popularly marketed. I have seen afew stand up presentations here and there on TH-cam but you can’t even watch much of it because it is not funny. Let’s look at other comedians - I’ll take the likes of Steve Harvey and others as an example. Steve Harvey has done stand up specials (pretty funny at that), he had his own sitcom (Mr. High Tower) at some point, he did a Talk Show, Family Feud etc. There’s a lot on his CV, he was relevant at his younger age and he is still working and producing content to date but his wealth is no where near this dude level. Look at Larry David - he is doing a great job with Curb Your Enthusiasm and again producing real quality stuff to date. The like of Eddie Murphy and others. Jerry has done nothing compared to other comedians of era. And I know wealth creation is not about talent and all but if we use it as a measure of success based on output this guy doesn’t come close to his contemporaries. My take is corporate media just pushed “Seinfeld” to it’s consumers, marketed it as something good but really it is not. I think it has more to do with the Jewish control of Main Stream Media and him being Jewish more than the quality of the work and hence the reason why he has amassed so much wealth.
@@AndyMutua well Seinfeld is hilarious, one of the all time greats, and even if YOU don’t think it’s funny, that doesn’t really matter , it was the most popular show on Television for the last 6 years of its run. He was the Creator, he starred in it. It’s syndication rights are the highest in history. And he’s a great comedian. And I agree, he isn’t the funniest stand up comic ever, but he is very popular. That’s why he’s worth so much
@@raikojohnson9850 They both make jokes funny, instead of making funny jokes, but I still think Seinfeld might win on the amount of material though, because he mostly does observational comedy. On the other hand, Norm has more jokes than we realize, layered, embedded and sometimes even disguised. He's openly said negative things about meta comedy, but he was secretly a master of it.
+Steve27775 Interesting fact: of course, two people cannot have the same idea at once, so one person had to think of the basis for seinfeld. Jerry was offered the opportunity for a show, and met his friend Larry at the comedy club one night. They start discussing ideas, nothing sticks out. They visit a korean restaurant and start picking apart the place, as only they can. Larry then essentially says "This is what the show should be, people complaining about things" A few billion dollars later here we are. Source: Howard Stern Seinfeld interview
Jerry had lots of input into the casting and talent. He wrote lots of the stand-up routines on which the show was based. Of course if there are two people ONE will contribute more even if it's 49% to 51%. The point is Jerry contributed a great amount to the success of the show.
I’ve been binge watching Seinfeld on Netflix with my girlfriend. Knowing that Seinfeld co-created/ wrote the show makes it a hundred times better. This man is a comedic genius
Yea I'm just watching it now for the first time too. It's very cool to see the lead actor in such a successful show who has also done so much of the writing
Well it's absolutely amazing how this man could reinvent himself over and over again... this is a class comedy this guy will make you laugh without having to say a swear word or belittle anybody...
You kind of have to know Seinfeld's personality to get his jokes, (he bitches about the most mundane things, but if you get it, you'll say to yourself "shit, he's right!) otherwise it's not funny. The most impressive aspect of his comedy is that for the most part, it's clean. I can watch his comedy with elders and not sweat...everybody has their niche, this is his.
I always used to think that he just wasn't funny but then I realised that I just didn't get it. It hit me when I saw parody of him and I started laughing at the guy making fun of Jerry's ridiculous jokes about these mundane and boring topics. However at the end of the day he was basically saying the same kind of things Jerry was saying so in a way I was laughing at his stand up. The whole silliness of it is the point; it's a self parody. If you think he's just plain unfunny then you obviously don't get it. For those that don't get it must seem like he's insane because without the style the raw material would obviously not be funny at all. However we all know that he's a very smart guy given the fact that he made the biggest sitcom ever so if you think he isn't funny you just don't get it. That being said he's not the best comic out there but he gets less credit than he deserves.
i agree .. he's a guy that everyone needs just to kill time when they're bored. because he's really a borin guy . he' s not that guy you would call up and invite to a party . haha ! not really a funny guy more of a preacher that we need to slow us down for awhile . now Rodney Dangerfield that's a guy you want in your circle ... aaahH YesSH !
So you're saying the audiance is laughing just because it is him doing it? Almost like they've been conditioned to do it by hearing a laugh track after him speaking for the past 20 years????
It’s called observational comedy and it’s about every day life with a touch of absurdity and a lot of word play by Seinfeld. If you are not a fan of language you might not get the jokes. Maybe more of a math guy, no social life or the German part of America.
I enjoyed this. Light material delivered in a calm way. May not be the piercing torch of shocking truth a lot of people are after, but like all good art this is a true reflection of who he is.
For everyone saying this is weak, this is Jerry's comedy and it was funny years ago and it is funny now to most people. Maybe you don't like it and that's fine, but literally millions of people always have, and do, and Jerry has way too much money to care what most people think haha
+and then i said Why? It's standard for standups to do their funniest five minutes whenever they're on a late night talk show. Pretty sure that's what the title is alluding to.
Lynn Turman Seinfeld and some of his openers, including Louis Ck have told stories of how Seinfeld doesn't like to be upsold by whoever announces him. He says it puts the audience in "judgement" mode. In this case "oh really?... so this is the best he can do...? " (which is what you can read in most of the comments on this video.)
+and then i said Someone's just pulling an in-joke because talk show Casting Directors always book comedians by asking them to do their best tight five :P Prooobably not appropriate for a video being shown to the general public, but amusing nonetheless
It's surreal to see Seinfeld in his early 60s. He and the show Seinfeld *defined* the 30s single New Yorkers. Everyone gets older, but growing up in the 90s really cemented that version of him into my brain forever. It's reassuring that his humor, persona and voice are the same, even if his hair recession (and short hair) makes him look older.
It must be difficult (relatively speaking) getting older when everybody has access to footage when you were young. Most people watch reruns of Seinfeld and it's a bit jarring seeing him old now. The rest of us just get old and no one really notices. 😂
He already did. He started in 1976 with worse material and worse delivery, but it was still good enough that he's become one of the most iconic comedians of his time.
Well obviously he started somewhere, but I was wondering how much these jokes seem to be doing so well is just based on his reputation rather than pure strength of material.
EZ2anger I feel like you are missing my point. I obviously give him respect and credit, I'm just saying, if this same exact material was delivered by a no-name comic would it really stand out as remarkably good?
Like a true legend. Seinfeld is a comedic master,one of the greatest ever. He keeps you going,his slow bits are on a comedic drag strip to the average comedian.
Somehow I was waiting my whole life for a joke on donut holes, but I didn’t know it until today. His show is taking off with the roar of an Apollo rocket.
Jerry’s so respected and ‘funny’ today because of the legacy he’s built, and everything that he’s done in the past in the world of comedy. Though I don’t believe that if a new comedian or anyone else in particular did these kinds of bit that anyone would laugh. People find it funny because this is a Jerry Seinfeld bit.
I love Jerrys stand up it is so unique most comedians now go shock but jerry can talk about donut holes and the way he gives you the lines is what makes it so good
You have to also consider we live in a time when most people hear something and they arent even really processing the information. They are scanning it and trying to read between the lines to find a hidden meaning or something slightly offensive to scream about. There is actually a large number of comedians who wont waste their time on college campuses anymore because of this.
I never thought of Seinfeld as "super star" funny in his stand up comedy but I think he is absolutely a comedic genius.. He rocks because he's Seinfeld. Recognized by hundreds of millions around the world, he truly is an icon and a legend. The Seinfeld show was pure brilliance. ...a show about nothing.. 💛 Like a song that endures across generations Seinfeld has earned his place in history as one of the classics.
Seinfeld is actually my favorite show. I remember discovering on channel 13 after WWE smackdown. I used to think it was just stand up comedy cus of the begging of every episode he would be there in front of the mic and red drapes behind him. After months of turning off the tv as soon as smackdown was over. One day I just decided to leave it and I feel in love. It was stupid but hilarious. So thank you mr. jerry for the laughs
Seinfeld still has some credibility in the 2020s as he now refuses to do College campuses and political events as he has stated, "they're too sensitive to reality". Good job Jerry.
People didn't find this funny? I was laughing my ass off at some parts. Nobody laughed at him comparing a buffet meal to a deathrow last meal wishlist? I thought the buffet segment was freaking hilarious. I'm not american so I don't know those tv dinners but it was still pretty funny to me. The first part wasn't as strong but still very funny when he started saying "words have meanings"
Microphone wasn't plugged in and was essentially a prop. He moved it further from his mouth without any diminishing of the sound quality. You can see the real mic on his lapel. That really bugged me for some reason.
Seinfeld is an American classic. Fan or not, you cannot dispute his success and continued popularity. He has also supported countless other new comedians coming up, some of whom you enjoy very much.
Lots of antisemitic haters in the comments tho. People don't realize American Jews started the comedy and show business industry. I love Jerry. And Larry. But not in a gay way...not that there's anything wrong with that
Seinfeld has brought so much joy to me throughout the years. He is my go-to guy to listen to when I feel down.
1:02 That inflection in his voice is what brings a lot of his comedic bits to life.
Brings back memories
Man his voice cracks like a son of bitch now lol.
I get the wit. However, in this day and age, I find Whitehouse press releases way more funny.

i like his subject materials ,, he never gets into politics , only normal day life situations
Love that from jerry
It's surreal to see Seinfeld in his early 60s. He and the show Seinfeld *defined* the 30s single New Yorkers. Everyone gets older, but growing up in the 90s really cemented that version of him into my brain forever. It's reassuring that his humor, persona and voice are the same, even if his hair recession (and short hair) makes him look older.
It must be difficult (relatively speaking) getting older when everybody has access to footage when you were young. Most people watch reruns of Seinfeld and it's a bit jarring seeing him old now. The rest of us just get old and no one really notices. 😂
I wonder how well Jerry would do if he had to do is set in disguise as like a 20yo comedian that nobody knew
He already did. He started in 1976 with worse material and worse delivery, but it was still good enough that he's become one of the most iconic comedians of his time.
Well obviously he started somewhere, but I was wondering how much these jokes seem to be doing so well is just based on his reputation rather than pure strength of material.
I personally have tons of respect for Jerry, but I think you bring up a good point. I don't think this set would hold it's own coming from a nobody.
yeah he did this same set on Letterman in 81 or 82. the video is on youtube. it was good enough to make him a somebody.
EZ2anger I feel like you are missing my point. I obviously give him respect and credit, I'm just saying, if this same exact material was delivered by a no-name comic would it really stand out as remarkably good?
Like a true legend.
Seinfeld is a comedic master,one of the greatest ever.
He keeps you going,his slow bits are on a comedic drag strip to the average comedian.
Somehow I was waiting my whole life for a joke on donut holes, but I didn’t know it until today. His show is taking off with the roar of an Apollo rocket.
That doughnut hole bit gets me every time
Jerry’s so respected and ‘funny’ today because of the legacy he’s built, and everything that he’s done in the past in the world of comedy. Though I don’t believe that if a new comedian or anyone else in particular did these kinds of bit that anyone would laugh. People find it funny because this is a Jerry Seinfeld bit.
Because he performs it well.
That could be said about a lot of comedians. Look at Norm McDonald, Bill Burr, etc. The material isn't everything.
I love Jerrys stand up it is so unique most comedians now go shock but jerry can talk about donut holes and the way he gives you the lines is what makes it so good
_Jerry is the best comedian in the world. He gave the best sitcom ever which inspired many and guess what he's neat and makes people laugh_
Seinfeld really is the Seinfeld of standup comedy.
I wouldn't say this was his *best* five, but the buffet bit was good,worth hanging in for.
I agree. Someone was reaching for the moon saying it’s his best.
It's about time they put a stand up on Colbert's show. Please do this more often.
+Jacob Russell when did they put a stand up on colbert?
Never from what I know.. at least not doing a set (some have been on just doing panel). I hope to see more.
+SolSmoke lol
And he is too edgy for some colleges?
choncy barbosa for bland material it’s very good material
choncy barbosa That’s how it is in PC America
He's not actually, he's just too expensive. Same with Chris Rock.
I'm pretty sure half the time millennials are just "guessing" at what's offensive and looking around to see if others agree
You have to also consider we live in a time when most people hear something and they arent even really processing the information. They are scanning it and trying to read between the lines to find a hidden meaning or something slightly offensive to scream about. There is actually a large number of comedians who wont waste their time on college campuses anymore because of this.
He should have ended the doughnut hole bit with "And then you'd have a WHOLE DONUT "
+J Vaughn You > Seinfeld.
+CommunistScum LOL fuck me
sorry to let you down.
J Vaughn
You're a monster.
Colbert would've
Jerry Seinfeld is the comedy phenomenon. Your work is amazing.
Yes, my work is amazing.
He looks the same at 62 as he did at 61.
When I see this guy doing stand up i crap my self laughing 😂 I know he's no longer the 90s Jerry but still hilarious he's a true legend.
Wow. This is absolutely fantastic writing. Love Jerry.
What the fuck? What one single thing was amusing about this?
@@matthewferguson8423 I said the writing is good. Why are you talking about amusement?
@@shangee2275 good comedy writing is supposed to be funny. This is not.
@@matthewferguson8423 I'll talk to you about funny when you acknowledge the material is well-written.
I can't stop laughing. Awesome loved it.
My favorite comedian. So sharp and polished.
Absolutely brilliant. The only comedian I have paid to see live, multiple times ( we won't mention the pudding guy )
He sounds exactly the same as he did thirty years ago.
It's GREAT to see Jerry do new material! I hope he builds a fresh special soon!
That's with the kind of ease and confidence you deliver jokes after jokes have made you a filthy rich man with lots of class.
I read like 4 different sentences in that.
Jesus, that buffet bit had me dying especially the way it followed the whole donut hole bit 😅
I love that it’s called a “tight five” when it’s over 6 minutes of actual material.
these fake laughs are one of the things that are causing global warming.
Omg literally lol'ed at that 😂
Loool
That was hilarious. I was so surprised when I burst out in laughter. Thank you. I needed that.
🤣🤣🤣🤣
Haha!
his tone hasn't changed in 20 years and it's great.
I laughed multiple times. Jerry is great
I never thought of Seinfeld as "super star" funny in his stand up comedy but I think he is absolutely a comedic genius.. He rocks because he's Seinfeld. Recognized by hundreds of millions around the world, he truly is an icon and a legend. The Seinfeld show was pure brilliance. ...a show about nothing.. 💛 Like a song that endures across generations Seinfeld has earned his place in history as one of the classics.
Nah man, “Jerry” was about nothing, Seinfeld was about how comedians get their bits
Seinfeld is actually my favorite show. I remember discovering on channel 13 after WWE smackdown. I used to think it was just stand up comedy cus of the begging of every episode he would be there in front of the mic and red drapes behind him. After months of turning off the tv as soon as smackdown was over. One day I just decided to leave it and I feel in love. It was stupid but hilarious. So thank you mr. jerry for the laughs
Jerry is the "stand up comic". Long after he's gone his legacy will live on. Simple yet brilliant.
That's why they're called Timbits up here.
Modest Mouseketeer absolutely!
Im already dead. "Somebody's gotta lose some weight. I can't move."
TV dinner bit was funny. Alcatraz Chicken 😂. At the end of one I GOTTA MAKE SOMETHING OF MY LIFE!
The buffet bit was gold, Jerry.....GOLD!
Christ, Jerry is OBSESSED with food jokes.
Jerry is working with OBESE jokes v:
Who did this guy voice in an animation? Was it the bee from Bee Movie?
+spartanB0292 yes it was
+spartanB0292 yes
That what Jerry Seinfeld is known for...the voice of the bee in the bee movie
+Diego Andres you know your getting old if that is what hes known for now.
Kaezer Musik lmao I'm just kidding
"...a working model of all their emotional issues..." lol.
What a joke craftsman, that transition to the donut hole joke was awesome. Very Seinfeld set as always
His attitude in his jokes is what makes his bit so funny.
I seem to be in the minority, but I thought he killed.
Jimi Bernath me too! i loved it so much. and i love Stephen's smile at the end.
What, humor?
killed brain cells - yes.
the hater minority are the majority of commentators... the internet, still,, 2020..
You’re right Jimi he totally killed it.
Take no notice of the haters.
That's gold, Jerry!
Jerry needs to be his true self! He’s really a savage and he’s tucking it on stage!
His specialty is observasonal comedy. So I agree with you 100%
Good clean humor.
Bless this man 👑. What a king.
This is amazing no matter how many times I see it. "Words. Have. Meanings"
"Well you really went bald there, you used to have a full thick set of hair"
Seinfeld still has some credibility in the 2020s as he now refuses to do College campuses and political events as he has stated, "they're too sensitive to reality". Good job Jerry.
All I see is berry b Benson making me dye of laughter 🤣🤣
"taste is the least of their problems" hahahahah
Same just close you’re eyes and image berry😂😂
People didn't find this funny? I was laughing my ass off at some parts. Nobody laughed at him comparing a buffet meal to a deathrow last meal wishlist? I thought the buffet segment was freaking hilarious. I'm not american so I don't know those tv dinners but it was still pretty funny to me. The first part wasn't as strong but still very funny when he started saying "words have meanings"
bananatree1234567 TV dinners are pre cooked meals that you heat up and eat.
Microphone wasn't plugged in and was essentially a prop. He moved it further from his mouth without any diminishing of the sound quality. You can see the real mic on his lapel. That really bugged me for some reason.
He’s brilliant to figure out a show like this you got to be brilliant
I love how clean comedy is still admired
Jerry seinfeld comic is good. Theres always life meaning behind his jokes.
Far and away the funniest Seinfeld stand up I’ve ever seen…I laughed through the whole thing
That was a very dense 5 minutes. Great stuff. The buffet stretch had me sobbing.
Jerry Seinfeld has never once in my life made me burst out with laughter, slightly harder than usual exhale through the nostrils at best if even that.
It only works on intelligent people, that's why.
Nicolas J. Yeah nah he’s just not really that funny. Nothing to do with intelligence
its observational humor, not Carrot Top
@@Teeveepicksures most comedy is observational
Guys - we all can know funny when we hear funny. Let’s not make something more technical than it should be. Dude ain’t funny. That’s all.
Lmao I also popped big at the when he screamed "Donut holes don't exist! Words have meaning!"
Seinfeld is an American classic. Fan or not, you cannot dispute his success and continued popularity. He has also supported countless other new comedians coming up, some of whom you enjoy very much.
Lots of antisemitic haters in the comments tho. People don't realize American Jews started the comedy and show business industry. I love Jerry. And Larry. But not in a gay way...not that there's anything wrong with that
