LK>Seinfeld's standup sux, but I like the sit-com.
His stand-up routine is up and down. Unlike Dennis Miller, who's been completely down over the last year or so. Jerry will sometimes end his jokes in the wrong way, and it will consequentally kill the effect of the joke.
LK>If I have to read his book, that doesn't say too much for his standup. LK>Don't get me wrong -- I really really like his show. But I must bring up LK>one more point. I heard -- and I don't know if this is true, please tell LK>me if its common knowledge or a vicious rumor or whatever -- that the LK>real-life Jerry will not let people crap in his bathroom. "I don't know, LK>it just makes me feel uncomfortable." What kind of a guy is this? I
I can relate. I don't get uncomfortable if it's family relatives or good friends, but I get a little edgy when strangers go in there. Just a couple weeks ago, some guys were putting a new roof on our house. One of the roofers used the bathroom without asking, did his duty, and left. I saw him walk out, and I went in to get ready for class. The smell was nauseating and he left marks in the bowl and dirt/dust all over the seat. Sorry, but I don't like to deal with that. Jerry tends to be very anal and articulate about everything in his life. Like when Kramer borrows Jerry's spatula to scratch his back, and then Jerry throws it away after Kramer's done with it.
PA>The bits in the show are often poorly cut, and not all that good anyway. bu PA>I saw him in concert last year and nearly died laughing!
Well, if I can manage to grab some tix to his San Diego show this summer, I'll get back to you and see if it is indeed better than the show's oftentimes dull monologue.
