Jerry Seinfeld talks about why comedy isn't what it used to be...

It really is crazy to me how there seems to be an incredible lack of sitcoms here in the 2020s. Also, back when I was a teenager, you had the standard rom-coms as well as your zany comedic films that starred Adam Sandler and Will Farrell during the summer movie months. You don't really see those anymore either.

The last moderately decent comedy movie to come out in the last 5 years is Ricky Stanicky
And even that is clearly neutered

The medium has just shifted, in terms of TV, like with most TV/film content. There are lots of comedy shows, just not your typical dumb sitcoms*. Those are for boomers and trailer parks.
Now the comedy movie issue is another thing that has nothing to do with PC/Leftist crap. Hollywood has just priced out those movies in basically all genres. You don't get the $75M drama that often now, either.
Now, I hope this shifts back, and I think the market can. But this isn't something Leftists have ruined.
*Seinfeld was ahead of its time and anything but your typical dumb sit com, hence why it's so revered to this day as the likely GOAT.

Joke's on Jerry. He's a part of the political apparatus that cause this.

This doesn't really have as much to do with the left as it does with having far too many platforms in 2024 to get your content out. There's plenty of funny shows out there, but the talent is so diluted. Instead of movies and cable TV, you have now added Hulu, Max, Prime, Apple, etc. All as major content providers.
So yeah the left does have something to do with comedy not being as good. Don't get me wrong, i hate that you cant call straight males the f word, not because theyre gay, but because theyre being f's.
But Jerry is an idiot for not acknowledging the real reason comedy is struggling. He's just another bitter old head comedian.

The Moderates have entered the fray, and shockingly they’re saying Seinfeld don’t know shite and this has nothing to do with the left. Shocker.

Studios shifted away from comedies with a pricey lead to horror movies with no name actors/actresses. All because of money of course

Movie/TV is so fricking heavy nowadays. Everyone seems to be on prestige tv watch. I think that's why people loved Ted Lasso so much. Sometimes I want to wind down after work and not watch a post apocalyptic show or some fricked up family issues. Give me more light fun options. fricking hell the real world is depressing enough.

Plenty of sitcoms. Just not on CBS, ABC and NBC. Look to the streaming services and overseas.
If there is a sitcom on one of the big networks I'm going to skip them because they won't be as funny as what you'll find on streaming services. Seinfeld is living in the past and I guarantee when his show , and others in the 90s were out, people were saying the same thing that sitcoms aren't what they used to be in the 60s/70s/80s.
