People these days don’t even remember Kramer’s N-word rant (obviously NSFW): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=amjUNF_R_PY
Dave Chappelle had a funny bit about it: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Kth0UOU5a_M
17 years ago, good god how did that happen
His apology is hilarious. The Seinfeld DVD boxset is about to be released and Kramer’s outburst is lowering sales. Jerry invited him onto Lettermen and despite him actually trying to apologize everyone thinks he’s doing a bit
I remember that on Letterman and I didn’t think he was doing a bit but I remember it being terribly awkward, which was probably appropriate. And I believe it’s affecting sales because I like the show but I think about the outburst every single time I see Kramer in a scene.
Somewhat unrelated, but I didn’t know dvd releases were still a thing in 2023.
There’s some hilarious irony in the first clip censoring some words.

Wow I never knew that happened. That’s pretty fucked (and is very hard to watch - “cringe” really was created for how the second half feels as he doubles down). I have no love for hecklers and 99% of the time I don’t care how far off the handle the comic flies in dealing with them, but that’s just not ok.
I have no interest in watching Dave’s bit. I’m sure it’s insightful, but the last few years have really soured my taste on him unfortunately
Haha, bigots making fun of bigots.
Tbf it’s not like he needs the money.
Yeah, I saw him tip $10,000 to some random waitress a few years ago. Dude isn’t hurt at all
I mean, just because he isnt flat broke doesnt mean it didnt absolutely stomp the brakes on the mans career. He was absolutely radioactive for a decade, its only recently that sentiment on him has thawed.
He was on Comedians in Cars getting Coffee and he’s still just emotionally hurt from the experience.
He’s just bruised emotionally.
Did Jerry put a neon sign in his apartment or something?
It was those thoughtless goons at Kenny Rogers Roasters.
Out of all of the 90s entertainment, Kramer wasnt bad at all.
Batshit people:

Tim Allen.
-
Roseanne.

Kelsey Grammer (Frasier)

Kevin Sorbo (Hercules)

No Jerry, stop him! He’s gonna say the gamer word!!
