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.
Correct. He's also promoting a movie, so he's trying to find an audience. This grifting will likely get him a few more viewers (more than if he grifted pretending to be woke, for sure)

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.

No, they really haven't. The most watched shows on television right now are Tracker (a detective show), Young Sheldon (a sitcom), and NCIS (a detective show).

Didn't finish reading that post before you jumped to reply, huh?

Agree. The more"popular" the programming, generally the more dumbed-down and shaded with not-so-subtle political messaging.

Comedies like Sunny, Gemstones, and (coincidentally) Curb now make current traditional sitcoms look extremely dated in style. If the PC police are the reason for the death of TV comedy, the boundaries of their precinct must end where cable starts.

Nah, this boogeyman is tired. Put him to bed.
Social Media led many in Hollywood to think certain demos were bigger than they are.
Take Star Wars, as prime example. The math was that, by catering to "marginalized groups" (Gays and other fetishists, Women, POC) they would increase their market share by more than they would lose of the core fanbase (white males). The hiring practices, ham fisted "inclusive representation", exhausting girl-boss Mary Sue "White Man bad" storylines in everything. . .they did indeed start to lose their core WM fanbase.
But the math didn't work. Gays and women by and large didn't give a hot shite about Star Wars. They gained SOME in those demos, but not enough to offset.
Gambling that you can lose the people who made your franchise what it is, and you can grow it in a demographic that has never shown interest. . .well, it is bold
ETA: re-reading my post, want to be clear. I don't think gays are inherently fetishists. . .just all the other letters other than L & G of the LGBTQMNOP

It makes fun of rich whites, and Christianity, which is fine with the PC crowd.

I don't think Gemstones is lampooning xtianity nearly as much as it is that specific brand of prosperity gospel and hypocrisy.

The PC era started in the 90s and it's the same shite.
Go watch PCU and tell me it's any different than today.
MeToo has no bearing on PC culture, either.

Funny how ONLY Christians and Christianity can be "lampooned" as "hypocritical" by the TV / Movie programming overlords, eh?

I'm just saying that is why it gets a pass by the lefties. It seemingly hates the thing they hate, so they can say whatever it want.
I love RG, don't get me wrong. Just saying his examples aren't really that intellectually honest,
