I feel like this was only succesful because it spoke to new yorkers and a lot of critics/actors/directors could relate to that, this was ASS
90s had a weird conception of 'humour'
I don't think you had to be a New Yorker to enjoy it.
no, the small neuroticisms that are the focal point of the show are stuff everyone can relate to (forgetting where you parked, awkward dinner conversations, getting stuck in traffic, dealing with weird neighbours, etc).
It's "successful" (syndicated) because it's a safe, castrated show that offends no-one headlined by an unfunny autist that appeals to the lowest common denominator.
it was successful because it was pure comedy while most sitcoms had some dramatic element to try and make you sympathize with the characters
THIS is the correct answer
Its the only sitcom without shitty forced drama
safe, castrated show that offends no-one
Retard
It's a show filled to the brim with softballs and it's named after a guy who's infamously bland, unfunny and inoffensive. If you're gonna pretend it's edgy then you're either a contrarian or a giant pussy. The second big boon to the show and why it's syndicated is how nothing in the show matters and nothing changes, so running the episodes in order isn't an issue.

Yeah because unlike everything else on at the time they weren't doing episodes about how sad teen pregnancy makes everyone or how evil drug use is. You just have the protagonist beating up old ladies for their bread and ruining the lives of immigrants
castrated show
How much edge do you need on a daily basis?
Now that cartoon network is dead are you in withdrawal?

Except that sounds funnier than anything Seinfeld ever did
It was pretty transgressive in the 90s to have a main character in a primetime sitcom be happy and relieved that his boring fiance died in a stamp poisoning accident. A;ways Sunny was transgressive when it started, but that shit is just bland hijinks now.
Retard

I need something that's actually funny
cartoon network
Seinfeld fanboys are in no position to call someone a manchild
humour
Seinfeld was successful because people could relate to the humor based around mundane, awkward things but ramped up to the level of absurdity.
OP, I hope you wake up in the East River in a SACK.
It was pretty transgressive in the 90s
What's debatably transgressive in the 90s (it really isn't) is baby food today. There's a reason why people made/make fun of Seinfeld for how bland and boring he is
A;ways Sunny
Also unfunny
Anyway the '90s sitcom that always mystifies me with its popularity is Friends. That show fucking sucks and isn't funny. Is it entirely women who were invested in Ross/Rachel and Chandler/Monica?
OI WHERE'S THE HUMOUR MATE THEY'RE NOT EVEN DOING THE SILLY WALKS
In the Anglosphere, the humor ranking is pretty much America and Canada on close to equal footing and both of them way, way ahead of Britain. I don't know where Australia ranks but I assume it's probably Britain tier.
Seinfeld ironically idolizes MP but he's just such a conceited, untalented retard that he fails to see the point it made.
one autist desperately seething over a show from 30 years ago
But why?
Makes basic observations on the quality of a shitty 90s TV show
seething
Why are fanboys so emotional?
Daily reminder i'd have sex with elaine
He's underage and his parents probably watch reruns around the clock.
I hated Star Trek growing up for the same reasons, though I've learned to appreciate it since.
He must be x and y
Nice try, retard. Maybe it's because Seinfeld is unfunny, bland and boring that I don't like it.
Loves Seinfeld
Hated Star Trek
Definitely a retard
It was kind of funny. The media/jews loved it, so they really pushed it. Some people will like whatever they're told to like.
"WHAT'S THE DEAL WITH AIRLINE FOOD?"
boomer jews unironically think this is peak humor
forgetting where you parked, awkward dinner conversations, getting stuck in traffic, dealing with weird neighbours
only city slickers can relate to these, not the American heartland
weird neighbours and awkward dinner conversations are pretty standard stuff at least
I think George and Kramer are hilarious. Elaine is great with Puddy. Jerry has his moments but is the weakest element of the show.
There are no right wing comedies anon. Jokes about being a narcissistic degenerate aren’t funny.
Zoomers can’t relate to it because they spend all day on their phones. They don’t talk to their neighbours or even go shopping. They wouldn’t be able to make a Seinfeld today.
That’s why they watch “le wacky adult cartoons” and stuff that has nothing to do with reality.
The show is constantly attacked for being misogynistic, body shaming, racism, etc. Nutcase leftists who'd consider the trees outside your living room to be "problematic" basically.

Not that there's anything wrong with that

"Did you know TREES were used by white supremacists to lynch niggers? Yup, that's right, trees are a racist symbol of white supremacy, cut them all down!"
I'm surprised leftists haven't done that yet since they've certainly crossed that threshold of lunacy already.
Yes. There is nothing wrong with racism. Racism makes your nation stronger and healthier.
lmao did you give George a hook nose?
comedy
American heartland
pick one
what is a woman and am i racist were pretty funny, but i'm not sure those count
Friends is better than Seinfeld and I'm tired of pretending it isn't just to fit on Anon Babble
It was made by jews, for jews, which is why is praised here in Anon Babble as lots of jews are attracted to Anon Babble's culture in a unique way, addictive way. Even Anon Babble was made by a jew who's mother was a glower
Political angles in comedy are cancer. They only work if the joke is that politics are retarded
Jokes about being a narcissistic degenerate aren’t funny.
Fuck you talking about?
tfw I'm literally Kramer right now
So literally the only people offended by this safe, boring and bland show are crazy?
I'm a useless cunt who lives to makes the people around me miserable
Grim
it was amazing because it's so damn relatable
Yeah, well you can put your sorries in a sack mister
That was George
They're all useless, unlikable cunts
Seinfeld is unfunny, bland and boring that I don't like it.
And? Son, it's 30 years old. You're not going to encounter it in your daily life. Just ignore it and you'll never have to see it or think about it.
The part where you're seething is when you make threads like this and camp out in them for hours. Just go live your life. Seinfeld was three decades ago; it's not a threat to you. It's ok if people like things that you don't like.
it was on a doilie
Pepsi is better than wine
getting revenge for shrinkage
George was only ever in the wrong once, when he got the cheap stamps. He was completely correct all other times
And? Son, it's 30 years old.
Cheers is 40, how old it is has nothing to do with how bland, unfunny and boring it is since it was boring even back then
The part where you're seething is when you make threads like this
Are you retarded?
Even Seinfeld admits that the show was kept alive because it was appealing to a higher income audience, making it more attractive to a certain kind of advertiser.
this but peep show and british people.
They literally don't say anything that could be considered funny.
Just
I'm talking with a british accent and sarcasticky describing something
why are zoomers such faggots
But why are you so obsessed and upset about a show that is over 30 years old?
make basic statements about a show in a thread about said show
"WHY ARE YOU SO ANGRY AND CRITICAL?!?!?"
I said it as a joke first but are you actually retarded?
I'm not saying this is an inappropriate venue, I'm saying that I've never seen anybody in my whole life, be this viscerally upset at a TV show just existing.
This reminds me a lot of the delusional schizo shit that I would see when I was a mental health counselor, one of the guys in the program was absolutely convinced that TV shows and movies were full of his memories being displayed to the public to mock him, your reaction to Seinfeld reminds me of that quite a bit.
You expressed your opinion, and I expressed mine, no need to get further upset about it :-)
someone who spells humor "humour" doesn't appreciate the best sitcom of all time
kys Brit scum
be this viscerally upset at a TV show just existing.
It's not personal or emotional, it's basic observations
Thinks I'm crazy for not liking Seinfeld
Why are you so thin-skinned?
That's nice but did I disagree with you? The world is full of bad tv shows. Why waste your time being mad about them? You've been seething in this thread for over three hours now and for what? Just because it makes you angry to know that other people like things that you don't like?
lmao what are your formative memories, running through corn fields and square dancing at a barn on Main St?
You're very subjective opinions on something aren't "basic observations", they are just your feelings.
I'm not thin-skinned, I'm absolutely intrigued at your angry obsession.
But there are other TV shows I don't like either!!!
Okay, so what?
The world is full of bad tv shows.
And this is a thread for one of them
Why waste your time being mad about them?
You keep insisting I'm emotionally invested in this
You've been seething in this thread for over three hours now
Popping in a few times to point out the flaws of Seinfeld in the Seinfeld thread =/= seething
it makes you angry
Seinfeld doesn't elicit any emotion from me, same goes for making fun of it
You're(sic) very subjective opinions
As opposed to your "objective" opinions, dipshit?
Because I'm emotionally invested you must be too
You're projecting
I don't think as many people watched this show as the network claims. Those people are no strangers to fabricating numbers if you know what I mean.
My point, retard, is how Cheers is an older show but somehow much funnier and better written than Seinfeld
makes a thread and insta replies to everyone in it for literally four (4) hours straight
what makes you think i'm emotionally invested in this?
autism is a serious disease
Boomer detected
Psychotic nonsense to rationalize why someone doesn't like Seinfeld
You're really not making a good case for yourself
I never said my opinions were objective, I never even posted my opinion on seinfeld, I just said that I find it interesting that you have such an extremely strong aversion reaction.
Projecting
My dude I'm literally just making observations on your posts
what are some fun Cheers bits
he thinks we're having some epic internet debate where people are presenting their "case" rather than just gathering to gawk at some guy having a meltdown over a show from the '90s
