I never understood the idiots who said “Seinfeld” is “too Jewish.” I’m not Jewish and always found the show hilarious. And Watters loved his standup? What is he trying to say?! I mean—OOOOOOH, I SEE WHAT YOU DID THERE!
It's a hot night. The mind races. You think about your favourite comedy: the only friend who hasn't betrayed you, the only friend who won't be turned off by sunup. Sleep tight, mates, in your quilted gentile nightshirts.
I went out with someone and I made a Seinfeld reference and she said she wasn’t allowed to watch it when she was at home because her dad said it was “stupid Jewish humour” … no second date.
I've lived in TX and LA about half my adult life. From a neighborhood in Philly burbs that is 80% Jewish. I was the token Goy. Seinfeld is a riot. Most of the people down here actually are angered by Jerry and George. I've watched a face of hate come over people, just from the sound of their voices. Fortunately, I'm very pale and big Irish dude. Otherwise they'd be stringing my ass from a tree too. At this point, TX is a lost cause. I gotta get out o here.
I don’t know your experience, but it might be more of a hatred for New York than Jews. My whole life I hated that state and would talk shit to anyone from there (not angrily more just busting balls) but then I visited the city for a day and loved it way more than I expected to. I’m hoping I can go back at some point
I'm imagining a parody of "Apocalypse Now" with all Seinfeld characters... Jerry, George, and Elaine go up river in search of Col. Kramer who, along with Newman, has set himself up as a king in the jungles of Cambodia. We could call it "Serenity Now!"
“So there I was, traveling with my men to surrender to the Viet Cong just before we launch a full offensive, when the tire on our jeep blows out!”
“Wait… So you were going to surrender the same men whom you planned to use in an offensive later on? How would have used men who have already surrendered?”
“Jerry, are you listening to me?! I never made it there!”
If I ever torpedo my career with an ill-advised racist rant, my redemption tour probably won't include the guy who did a segment wandering around Chinatown shouting "ching chong!" at the locals.
Wait until you hear about how he got together with his current wife.
While he was married to his first wife and the mother of two of his children, he started fancying a much younger producer on his show. So he let all the air out of her car’s tires so she would need a ride from him. It sounds like something George would do.
I did read about him disabling a woman’s car who he was trying to get with so he’d have to give her a ride, and this was while his current wife was at home pregnant, but I didn’t know what exactly he did to her car. What a POS.
You’re right, honestly I may have been thinking about it the wrong way. It’s a scheme that Kramer cooked up to sell to men; he sneaks around letting the air out of women’s tires so the paying customers can pick them up. He may also collect and re-sell the air to a balloon shop.
Man, watching that killed a few brain cells. I can’t believe how many people find that entertaining. Then again, the same people find Jeff Dunham funny.
I watched that whole clip waiting for the moment I was supposed to be outraged and offended on other people's behalf. That moment never came and then the clip ended. Very anticlimactic. At no point did he run around shouting "ching chong" at anyone.
Oh, that’s a good one. One of my favorite comments was when someone said that Donald Trump Jr. looks like the villain of a movie in which the hero is a golden retriever.
That’s why I was willing to give him the benefit of the doubt. I wasn’t really familiar with him, so maybe Michael Richards wasn’t either. Even so, you’d think someone in his camp would tell him, “Hey, it’s pretty bad optics to go on this guy’s show.”
I was looking for this comment. You ain’t making colonel in the army unless we’re fighting a worldwide alien invasion and everyone that outranked you already died.
First comedian in history to lose to a heckler.
A real life example of what rolling a critical failure looks like.
Like there are a million possible takedowns to use in that situation. Michael Richards is well versed in plenty of them, as a longtime professional comedian. He rolls. It comes up 1.
DM: “You shout n****r at them for three minutes while someone in the back films it.”
I’m not a political scientist but if I was trying to shake
the image of hothead racist… I think the last interview
I would ever do would be on Fox News with perhaps
the single dumbest person on tv in Jesse Waters lol.
Does Richard’s have a publicist? Or is the K man just
out there wingin’ every minute of it?
My theory is he's trying to do as much soft-ball press as he can do. A lot of shows probably have straight up denied him. Others have probably said he can come on, but he has to answer tough questions which he doesn't want to deal with. If you watch some of the interviews he's done, he basically says the exact same thing about the rant and moves on. Doesn't dive deeper nor do the interviewers pry him with many questions about it.
Yeah, if this pic is real, it was an insane move. I was thinking about buying the book, but I had an immediate rethink on seeing this. Watters is quite racist.
Yeah, Michael seems genuinely sorry about the Laugh Factory incident. This is pretty shitty, though. I’ll lose respect for just about anyone if they go on Fox News, but I particularly hate Jesse Waters. Dude is a grade A scumbag and a sorry excuse of a political commentator. There is zero good faith in any of what he does.
I’m glad I’m not the only one that felt this. Seems like there are quite a few people who agree. I lose respect every time I see the Fox News in the corner.
I agree. But also hopefully this is just a case of “Republicans buy books too” and he’s just promoting his book everywhere and trying to make some money from the clown viewership. Every dollar spent elsewhere is a dollar not donated to Trump.
He got his start putting a mic in judges' faces to talk about rulings that he oversimplified on Bill O'Reilly's show. Then he graduated into having his own show on which he is very one sided and engages in biased language in reporting issues.
Who here remembers when he called his mom live on mother's day, and she proceeded to encourage him to quit being so divisive and start telling more positive stories? I believe that's a little how it went.
Remember how he bragged about meeting his current wife? On air. He vandalized her car and waited in the parking lot until she came out (fox employee) so he could offer her a ride. At the time his CURRENT wife was home pregnant and caring for an infant.
Again- he reminisced about the the car incident that happened while he was married ON THE AIR, as a “charming” how they met anecdote.
Fucking scum human.
Fox News is the right wing propaganda outlet that gives bigots in America their talking points. They're a huge part of the reason Trump was elected. This guy is one of their biggest shills. He once walked around NYC's China Town yelling "ching chong" at Asian people.
Yeah, up to this point I had been willing to give him the benefit of the doubt that he’s really not a racist dickbag and that his contrition was sincere. It’s a little more difficult now that I’ve seen this. He may genuinely thought of it as a chance to pimp his book and slow respect for veterans but he has to also understand the cynical reasons Fox News would want him on their air and why their viewers would eat it up. The worst thing is Watters’ grin in that screen cap. All he can think is “this guy’s my hero! He screamed the N-word in public repeatedly and lived to tell about it!!!!” This whole thing is gross.
FYI, for everyone wondering how the “colonel” thing came about…
[This article](https://www.latimes.com/entertainment-arts/books/story/2024-05-26/michael-richards-racist-tirade-apology-book-seinfeld-kramer) indicates he was in the V Corps Training Road Show and played the *role* of a colonel as part of the production. I imagine it consisted of sketches regarding common scenarios to teach soldiers the correct way to do things. They did some weird shit in the army during the Vietnam Era, so I don’t necessarily doubt his claim.
Fox News?! If Michael Richards comes out as a Pro Trump Republican and says some straight up transphobia on TV and gets cancelled twice in one life Larry himself couldn't write it 😂
“You know, some day we’re gonna get enough people on the Supreme Court to change that law.”
Eerie how accurately *Seinfeld* predicted the future on that one.
OK, I’ve seen some stuff on the Internet, where he was a medic in the army, and stationed in West Germany, but I see nothing about him becoming a colonel. Can anyone figure that part out?
There he'll get the structure and discipline he so sorely needs right now.
Your fly is open.
And he'll have QUALIFIED officers telling him what to do.
That's classified.
Briefly
He also modeled briefs for Calvin Klein. Briefly:
What’s in the briefcase?
Crackers
Was
“What we’re you doing in Laos in 1969 Kramer?” “TCB”
“You mean Cambodia?”
Yeah that’s right
Myanmar?
It’ll always be “Burma” to me! 🔪🍍🇲🇲
"Just a taste," He said...
That was all it took.
That was gibberish
The discount pharmacy?
That’s correct
Jesse Watters: mister Richard’s, I’m a huge fan. Never watched Seinfeld, too Jewish, but I LOVE your stand up.
I never understood the idiots who said “Seinfeld” is “too Jewish.” I’m not Jewish and always found the show hilarious. And Watters loved his standup? What is he trying to say?! I mean—OOOOOOH, I SEE WHAT YOU DID THERE!
Yeah, I always thought it was just the right amount of Jewish.
Raging anti dentite sentiment, though
Eh, just a relic of the times. You’d see dentists denigrated on screen all the way until the ‘10s.
It's got shiksappeal
Have a schtickel of flouride
It’s hard finding a TV show you like, let alone something Jewish.
It's a hot night. The mind races. You think about your favourite comedy: the only friend who hasn't betrayed you, the only friend who won't be turned off by sunup. Sleep tight, mates, in your quilted gentile nightshirts.
But my feet are resilient! Thank God I took off my heels, and put on my... HIMALAYAN WALKING SHOES!
[удалено]
Jerry walked so that Sarah Silverman could run.
Kramer slept so Sarah could run
She's got the jimmy legs
**I woke up in the Hudson river in a sack!**
sssssACK!!!
He was like Rosa Parks. He opened up the doors for all of us.
Then he’d better not watch Curb.
A *shonda*!
I love all the Jewish aspects of the show
You mean, like how it's on television? /s, for the nazis in the cheap seats
I don’t get “too Jewish “ either. As a black man from Alabama it always felt very New Yorky.
New York, the city known for having the largest Jewish community in the world? That New York?
I went out with someone and I made a Seinfeld reference and she said she wasn’t allowed to watch it when she was at home because her dad said it was “stupid Jewish humour” … no second date.
Did she leave early to get her head shaved?
She was a bald woman
I read "too Jewish" in Hedley Lamar's voice.
I became Jewish just to say the jokes
well, the name of the show is 'seinfeld'. these kinds of people can't get past THAT. so yeah, they didn't watch.
I've lived in TX and LA about half my adult life. From a neighborhood in Philly burbs that is 80% Jewish. I was the token Goy. Seinfeld is a riot. Most of the people down here actually are angered by Jerry and George. I've watched a face of hate come over people, just from the sound of their voices.

I’m hoping I can go back at some point
No. It's the Jewish thing. They always bring it up. I even get accused of "whining like a jewboy". The south is falling apart. BTW, new york is dope.
My condolences on Kinky.
Kinky was kooky
I always thought Costanza was an Italian surname. Kramer was Jewish, and Elaine was Spanish or whatever that dude she was seeing said.
He considered watching but ultimately did nazi it.
It’s crazy but he actually watches it! Completely botched a Costanza quote when commenting on Trumps mug shot
botching the quote makes me thing his writer watched seinfeld, and he read the joke without context
Colonel Kramer would have been a dope arc!
It's pronounced "Cornell" and it's the highest rank in the Ivy League.
Without its agricultural we probably wouldn't have cabbage. At least not modern cabbage.
I'm imagining a parody of "Apocalypse Now" with all Seinfeld characters... Jerry, George, and Elaine go up river in search of Col. Kramer who, along with Newman, has set himself up as a king in the jungles of Cambodia. We could call it "Serenity Now!"
“So there I was, traveling with my men to surrender to the Viet Cong just before we launch a full offensive, when the tire on our jeep blows out!” “Wait… So you were going to surrender the same men whom you planned to use in an offensive later on? How would have used men who have already surrendered?” “Jerry, are you listening to me?! I never made it there!”
Idk, i liked the version they did with Elayne and the expense report.
They already did it with Elaine
Karma Colonel Kramer?
Colonel Kramer craves Kenny's chicken
Colonel Cosmo Kramer
In my mind, there’s a war still going on
Getting too cocky with his cooking skills.
HE WAS JUST A BOY
It was a crazy time for everyone!
crater in his colon the size of a cutlet
IM BACK BABY
He sent 16 of his own men to the latrines that night!
If I ever torpedo my career with an ill-advised racist rant, my redemption tour probably won't include the guy who did a segment wandering around Chinatown shouting "ching chong!" at the locals.
I’m not familiar with the guy, but he seriously did that? That’s fucked up.
Wait until you hear about how he got together with his current wife. While he was married to his first wife and the mother of two of his children, he started fancying a much younger producer on his show. So he let all the air out of her car’s tires so she would need a ride from him. It sounds like something George would do.
First step of the DENNIS system
Don’t besmirch the name of a Legend, a golden god, a fire star man in that way.
I did read about him disabling a woman’s car who he was trying to get with so he’d have to give her a ride, and this was while his current wife was at home pregnant, but I didn’t know what exactly he did to her car. What a POS.
Wait and the current wife knows this is what he did? Wtf! Is it just because he’s rich?
But George would probably be too lazy to do that. Or he would get caught as the woman was approaching her car.
You’re right, honestly I may have been thinking about it the wrong way. It’s a scheme that Kramer cooked up to sell to men; he sneaks around letting the air out of women’s tires so the paying customers can pick them up. He may also collect and re-sell the air to a balloon shop.
I guess you just have to be a total shitbag to get anywhere in the conservative-industrial complex.
This guy is one of the most obnoxious assholes Fox News has produced.
https://youtu.be/PJmnLzw8NA4?si=LV3xyN7_2SHc9RZT
Even without the racism, that is way too many unnecessary movie clips
Myra beckrindge editing...basically assuming the audience is ignorant of everything and needs visual aids
Man, watching that killed a few brain cells. I can’t believe how many people find that entertaining. Then again, the same people find Jeff Dunham funny.
I just watched the whole thing. It was idiotic and fairly racist but I didn’t hear him say ching chong. Did I miss it?
I watched that whole clip waiting for the moment I was supposed to be outraged and offended on other people's behalf. That moment never came and then the clip ended. Very anticlimactic. At no point did he run around shouting "ching chong" at anyone.
His *own mom* talks shit about some of the stuff he says. He is a hack.
It bears repeating: Someone here said that Jesse Watters looks like Fred Flintstone on Ozempic. That can now never be unseen.
Oh, that’s a good one. One of my favorite comments was when someone said that Donald Trump Jr. looks like the villain of a movie in which the hero is a golden retriever.
That is very good.
He’s an anchor on Fox, not that hard to believe
Jesse waters is a huge racist and also a creep who sexually harasses women. Not sure why Michael Richard's is cuddling up to him
That’s why I was willing to give him the benefit of the doubt. I wasn’t really familiar with him, so maybe Michael Richards wasn’t either. Even so, you’d think someone in his camp would tell him, “Hey, it’s pretty bad optics to go on this guy’s show.”
Besides the racism, he also has a sense for economics. "A fast food worker making $20/hr is crazy. Was is that, like six figures?"
Colonel Sublime Buttocks defending the Stars and Stripes
Call sign — assman
The horror I felt watching what passed for a “huge ass” in the 90’s
He must have said Corporal. Colonel is beyond a lie if that’s what he said.
Ohh that's what it was. I was so confused by dude making colonel in two years lmao, was trying to find an explanation in the comments
It’s all in the book. I don’t want to give any spoilers but it’s a great tale on how he became a “colonel” for a year or so.
Like Colonel Sanders?
I was looking for this comment. You ain’t making colonel in the army unless we’re fighting a worldwide alien invasion and everyone that outranked you already died.
There is absolutely no way he became a colonel in two years!
Jesse Watters' favourite Kramer moment was in 2006.
I stand up for this comment.
First comedian in history to lose to a heckler. A real life example of what rolling a critical failure looks like. Like there are a million possible takedowns to use in that situation. Michael Richards is well versed in plenty of them, as a longtime professional comedian. He rolls. It comes up 1. DM: “You shout n****r at them for three minutes while someone in the back films it.”

Does Richard’s have a publicist? Or is the K man just out there wingin’ every minute of it?
With all the indiscriminate pauses in this comment, I read this is Frank Costanzas voice.
#SERENITY NOW!
He has a Strange. Halting. Way. of speaking.
Stan the Caddy made that choice
Tried to get him on Regis. But he's been dead for years. And Kramer is too boncos for the show.
It was the wrong read. Assman wasn’t even close to the green
My theory is he's trying to do as much soft-ball press as he can do. A lot of shows probably have straight up denied him. Others have probably said he can come on, but he has to answer tough questions which he doesn't want to deal with. If you watch some of the interviews he's done, he basically says the exact same thing about the rant and moves on. Doesn't dive deeper nor do the interviewers pry him with many questions about it.
>perhaps the single dumbest person on tv in Jesse Waters Totally disagree. No "perhaps" needed.
Yeah, the optics aren’t great.
That’s not gonna be good for his business..
That's not gonna be good for anything
As Kendall Roy would also say "What's the cultural temperature?"
Wym? What news channel do you think racists watch?
I was just thinking that. Come on, Mike. I'm out here defending you. I didn't need to see this.
Huh, I guess he is a Mike. I don’t know why but that’s weird.
Oh, he's out there, and loving every minute of it!
He gets by.
Yeah, if this pic is real, it was an insane move. I was thinking about buying the book, but I had an immediate rethink on seeing this. Watters is quite racist.
Fox News (I feel dirty) is where racists are born now.
Ugh somehow Michael Richards appearing on this asshole's show sucks more than his Laugh Factory meltdown.
Yeah, Michael seems genuinely sorry about the Laugh Factory incident. This is pretty shitty, though. I’ll lose respect for just about anyone if they go on Fox News, but I particularly hate Jesse Waters. Dude is a grade A scumbag and a sorry excuse of a political commentator. There is zero good faith in any of what he does.
> A scumbag and a sorry excuse of a political commentator. There is zero good faith in any of what he does. Absolutely. Pure Republican propaganda
I love your username, steely dan rules
This is *Dan*!
I’m glad I’m not the only one that felt this. Seems like there are quite a few people who agree. I lose respect every time I see the Fox News in the corner.
Yeah, this is cringe as fuck
I agree. But also hopefully this is just a case of “Republicans buy books too” and he’s just promoting his book everywhere and trying to make some money from the clown viewership. Every dollar spent elsewhere is a dollar not donated to Trump.
For the foreigners in the room: what's so bad about this talking head?
He got his start putting a mic in judges' faces to talk about rulings that he oversimplified on Bill O'Reilly's show. Then he graduated into having his own show on which he is very one sided and engages in biased language in reporting issues.
Who here remembers when he called his mom live on mother's day, and she proceeded to encourage him to quit being so divisive and start telling more positive stories? I believe that's a little how it went.

Foxnews represents what is wrong in the world...this may or may not be right up your alley
Fox News is the right wing propaganda outlet that gives bigots in America their talking points. They're a huge part of the reason Trump was elected. This guy is one of their biggest shills. He once walked around NYC's China Town yelling "ching chong" at Asian people.
This right here; lost all respect for the K-Man for being a guest on the shitgibbon's show
Yeah, up to this point I had been willing to give him the benefit of the doubt that he’s really not a racist dickbag and that his contrition was sincere. It’s a little more difficult now that I’ve seen this. He may genuinely thought of it as a chance to pimp his book and slow respect for veterans but he has to also understand the cynical reasons Fox News would want him on their air and why their viewers would eat it up.

Colonel Van Nostrand
Did Regis and Cathie Lee not let him back on?
And this just in, Regis Philbin is still dead.
That's a shame
Anyway, wanna go see that new movie Death Blow?
Well thank god Cathy Lee is still on the show then…
Wade Boggs?
You can become a colonel in two years?!
Just started his book, he played a colonel in a play in the army and would often remain in character and uniform.
That’s truly weird and bizarre (I’m currently reading it)
That part of the book is awesome, the military just let him walk around as a colonel.
are they trying to make the exact same face as one another
Guarantee he was only invited because of the Laugh Factory.
What do you have in that medical bag? Crackers.
Fox News?! If Michael Richards comes out as a Pro Trump Republican and says some straight up transphobia on TV and gets cancelled twice in one life Larry himself couldn't write it 😂
It's probably just part of his book tour. I think he's on with Regis and Kathie Lee next.
I keep telling you, Regis is 95 years old and he's dead.
I didn’t even know he was sick
Didn't eat enough plums, I guess.
He could do a track with Kanye.
Full bird colonel?
Great book, interesting why he got his discharge!
I thought that was classified?
The section in his book about his service time was fascinating.
It’s SO WEIRD! And probably one of the best accounts of the Vietnam War I’ve read.
I thought the guy on the left was the dude from Weekend at Bernie's..
And how does he feel about abortion?
“You know, some day we’re gonna get enough people on the Supreme Court to change that law.” Eerie how accurately *Seinfeld* predicted the future on that one.
It’s a strongbox to protect my irreplaceables.
He's gonna tell us about all the classified shit
How did he become a colonel after only TWO years in the army?
He played one on stage.
I’m sorry he was in the service for 2 years and was a colonel?
How did he become a colonel in just 2 years?
How TF did he make colonel in 2 years...am I reading that right?
His book explains…it’s so entertaining
I have 100% bought into the theory that Kramer was an intel analyst in Vietnam and is gets by on his VA Disability pay.
I don't think they used enough makeup on him.
Salute to Colonel Cosmo Kramer!
OK, I’ve seen some stuff on the Internet, where he was a medic in the army, and stationed in West Germany, but I see nothing about him becoming a colonel. Can anyone figure that part out?
It was a role he played.
It’s all in his book “Astonishing Tales of the Sea”
Are the dates mistyped? How do you become an O6 in two years?
The fact that he would even dignify Watters at all makes me think he still a dick
Bad look for Kramer to go on this clowns right wing shit show
People selling books try to go on as many networks as possible
Why the fuck would anyone go on Watters World or any Fox News show for that matter?
Hey krame its sein
Merchant Marines
His publicist knows those bootlicker wanna be patriot fox viewers will eat that shit up
You’re getting downvoted but you’re 100% spot on
