Jerry Before Seinfeld

Hell give me 100 million and I will deconstruct breakfast cereal for a small crowd then start going off about socks.

Amusing and genial set from Seinfeld is oddly structured with dull and irrelevant remembrances thrown in which kill the pace of his act. The performance itself is a mixed bag - there's something heartening about Seinfeld as a signpost of the times that never changes, however it inevitably leaves a slightly stale, past its prime after taste - Seinfeld is really now your dad's comedian! Still likable enough for what it is and probably more recommended to his hardcore fans.

I only made it through half of this special. Just not my style at all.

Watching this and his car show really shows Seinfeld to be a miserable, arrogant twat.

80% stand-up and 20% documentary, as there isn't much of Seinfeld's unstressful back-story to delve into, so we instead focus on his pretty terrific act. It's not the most laugh-out-loud hilarious thing, but there's something very amusing and satisfying about his deconstruction on language and how we use it in the modern age. His lack of politics is also refreshing for this age of stand-up, though even his one political joke is superb.

Seinfeld does a special with only jokes from his career beginnings in the 70's, and it's hilarious! And a little sweet too.

Seinfeld's stand up has always been middling in my opinion. This is probably below his average, and the biographical elements just aren't that interesting.

good

Whaaaaaaaat's the deallllllllll with thissssssss? I thought you were telling us for the last time back in 1999!!!

Slick and well produced, just not laugh-out-loud funny enough. It elicits more of a consistent chuckle throughout.
