All this PC crap is offensive and way over the line. There are way too many indoctrinated idiots running around pushing this crap.Too bad the easily offended heads don't explode when triggered over nothing.
So true. It's absurd. You can't do gay jokes. You can't do fat jokes. You can't do handicap jokes. Comedy becomes more restrictive every year. Why? Because they think that by excluding groups from jokes, they're being fair. They aren't. The effect is the opposite. Comedy needs to be inclusive. It's what brings us together and reminds us that we're human.
Believe I am old school and I can take a joke with the best of them. However, there are times comedy becomes outdated. Audiences change/evolve with the times. Of course Jerry doesn’t “get” why people don’t get the gay king joke since well…he is not gay. So he doesn’t understand it’s just not that funny. This reminds me watching reruns of the Johnny Carson show and the comedians that would come out and talk about how San Francisco was full of “Fairy’s” etc. The audience would of course laugh etc since the the mindset at that time was pretty much intolerant. Gay people fight in military, as well as are policemen, fire fighters, play pro ball etc. Bottom line – it’s an outdated stereo type.
at the end Sethy Meyers when referring to Bruce Jenner, said "she" about 100 times in the span of 30 seconds–trying his best to be politically correct.
When your doing comedy your presenting to an audience with real life experience your trying to appeal to. When your material doesn't land of course your going to take personal offense to it, but comedy requires a lot of talent and understanding and there is a particular skill in towing that line.
Gay and trans jokes absolutely can be funny, but due to the times you cant just crudely make jokes about those categories because both of them are still experiencing real physical and psychological as well as legal issues in a world of rapid change. A comedian is not entitled to laughter, he or she is not entitled to peoples' approval, they have to be adept and have incredible skill at feeling out an audience. Don't just blame the PC boogieman because your material doesn't always land, there is a reason for it and it takes more talent than ever to navigate this fast changing psychological landscape so don't assume because something worked before that it will work now and don't assume that because you were held in high regard in the past that your skills don't expire and/or require much more effort and smarts to be good. Look at the first rap songs, nobody pretends that even if the songs are still decent that the rhyme schemes and techniques are stale compared to todays standards.
People who says the Jerry Seinfeld is politically correct never watched Seinfeld, I guess, o any of his shows. Being politically correct in comedy is not about the language you use, but the way you talk about an argument. You can say gay, the N-word o anything like this and being more politically correct than someone who make fun about disability, without any kind of "bad" word. The bubble boy and The Handicap Spot episodes are an example.
when you are thinking speaking or figuring it out there is never too far… that is what life and learning is about.. for instance "I love jerry he's like the Jewish illegitimate Mafia boss son of a Don's mistress, who will rip your face off with a Joke (calmly) then go make himself a Hogie sandwich."
People are so sensitive these days. All I did was compliment my friends moustache, and now, she won't even talk to me.

I feel bad for comedians these days….
I'm with Seinfeld!!!!
You know your PC offensive crowd has gone too far when Jerry Seinfeld, the most mild mannered tame comedian is telling you it's too much.
Believe I am old school and I can take a joke with the best of them. However, there are times comedy becomes outdated. Audiences change/evolve with the times.

It's what elected Trump–he said countless times he has no time for political correctness—I knew then he was my guy.
I thought that was Jason Bateman next to Seinfeld for the first minute.
He is a straight white male, therefore, he is pissed that he can't use that status as a basis for "jokes" at others' expense. F**k him.
Well Jerry Seinfeld is the biggest asshole this world over, so it makes sense that he would want to outlaw PC.
Seth Meyers is a drinker of sperm.
What is the deal with PC?
2015, those were the days. Electing Trump was like a massive steroid injection for the creepy PC left.
If political correctness existed in the 30's and 40's in Germany perhaps the German GOV would not have committed genocide.
Jerry Seinfeld's got a point, right there. NPC ideologies are just too much of a pain in in the ass.
I love seinfield
He’s an asshole
Seth called out on his own show for beung a shill. Good.
Not that there's anything wrong with that.

Seth was like, I hate you jerry…lololol.
You are not supposed to get offended by jokes.
I have never had more respect for Jerry, anyone theese days that advocates free speech got my support, anyone.
I thought that was Jason Bateman beside Seth for the first minute.
Did anyone else think that the gentleman was Jason Bateman

Amen, Jerry
Dice Clay didn't give two shits and i loved it.
I've never met someone under 40 who thought Seinfeld was funny. All other comedians say offensive jokes, hes just made noone laughs at his.
This came up in my recommendation after the Fine Bros video
GEEZ Seth !!!!!!! How high IS THAT damn "booster seat" ya got ? ? ? You doing that Andy Kaufman bit?
Jerry seinfeld thinks he's edgy and he's not.
We’re all just forgetting the vehicular manslaughter, huh?
He’s right
