July 6, 20187 yr New episodes streaming now on Netflix. I know not everyone reads the Netflix thread.
July 6, 20187 yr Galifianakis and Neal Brennan were the best, imo. Chappelle and Tracy Morgan were just OK. Hasan Minhaj was boring af. Edited July 6, 20187 yr by SizzleChest

July 7, 20187 yr Zacks was pretty awesome and long. I was looking forward to Mulaney and it was just meh. Probably because it was done in a rug store. Edited July 7, 20187 yr by Dr. Teeth
July 7, 20187 yr Just watched the Zack one. My takeaway: it was weird seeing Jerry take the side of “man of the people”. You can always tell he slightly loathes everyone around him. Now he’s acting like he knows he’s public property and he is ok with that.
July 7, 20187 yr i watched ellen and mulaney and both seemed a little dry and off from the previous seasons. hoping it isn't a netflix thing.
July 7, 20187 yr The bad episodes/guests are so cringey with Jerry's fake and forced laughter at shit that just isn't funny at all. Edited July 7, 20187 yr by bluto
July 7, 20187 yr when jerry thinks something is really funny, he says, "that's really funny". he laughs when something kinda awkward startles him and because he's on tv. most comedians and writers have read and heard everything funny. "oh that's funny" is the best compliment you can get from them.
July 7, 20187 yr I don’t think I laughed out loud more than a couple times but I still found most of the ep’s worth the time and interesting. Really enjoyed Neal Brennan’s special on Netflix too.

But Silverman, Colbert, Burr and others have made him practically cry.
July 7, 20187 yr The show is great when Jerry already knows the other comedian and it's almost like a documentary of what happens when comedian friends get together. When it's Jerry meeting someone for the first time, it usually doesn't work so well for me.

July 7, 20187 yr His episode with Julia was my favorite. She killed him. He couldn’t stop laughing. Even if it was mostly because of their friendship, he still was entertained. His tell on whether he is not amused is that he starts doing his own material for extended periods of time.
July 8, 20187 yr Is it just me or is Chappelle super fucked up in his episode, either drunk or stoned out of his mind? Edited July 8, 20187 yr by Tom
July 8, 20187 yr after watching a couple more, the netflix production team must be different and distracting. nobody seems relaxed or comfortable.

Liked Dana Carvey’s a lot too. He was funny and I got a bit of a chuckle seeing him dominate the conversation. Only made it through about half of Minaj.

July 9, 20187 yr it was said earlier in this thread...you people can ruin anything. I love, Love, LOVE seeing/hearing comedians get together and talk the art of comedy as well as just shoot the shit and make each other laugh. I'm enjoying this season although not every episode can/has to be great. I also just now realized we haven't had any new episodes of Inside Comedy with David Steinberg in a while now and fear we won't get more. Enjoy these kind of things while you can.
July 9, 20187 yr I enjoy them too. It’s just more interesting to talk about other things than just say love love love all the time. Sometimes that includes picking on the negative aspects. It’s just a show.

July 9, 20187 yr if saying something remotely 'not positive' is ruining something for you, then that's on you. i'll mail you your well-earned participation trophy.
July 9, 20187 yr Nothing ruined for me. My point is that a great deal of you seem to go out of the way looking for reasons to not like something as much as before. I don’t suffer from that problem and, thus, get more enjoyment from these things. That’s not to say there can be no dip in the quality of shows, I just don’t feel it’s applicable here. Now, back to your hot takes...
July 9, 20187 yr well this show is very different from other tv shows, because it's largely guest dependent. jerry is always jerry, and i'll watch him do just about anything. of course the earlier episodes are going to be better, because he had great guests and people he had chemistry with, typically through a previous relationship, and that's fun to watch. some people are weird, not as funny in this setting, or just have an awkward energy with jerry. i do think jerry's over the top selfish/superior/cranky act is wearing a little thin. whomever i was just watching where he talked about fans on the street wanting to take a picture with you, and "you owe them nothing, you gave them a show for free. if anything, they owe you something" - yeah, we get it. you're the special one. fans and ratings certainly didn't increase ad revenue which bought your houses and cars, jerry. all i was saying is that this season, for whatever reason, had a weird energy, and just seemed uncomfortable and less fun to watch. i think it's a production issue, because the guests were pretty solid.
July 10, 20187 yr Jerry was actually very nonchalant about being photographed in public during the Galifinakis interview. He seems to realize most people have like 45 followers and the picture quality will suck anyway, so no one really sees it. It's funny HG mentions production issues and there are definitely more camera/crew photobombs now. But overall it's still a good show...you hope for 2-3 laughs and maybe 1-2 nuggets about behind the scenes stuff from Jerry or the guest. The post-credit banter is usually as good as anything in the actual show. I wonder if he's able to keep cranking these out with mostly A-list guests because they know it's very light conversation, you don't need to burn much material and he won't make you look bad no matter what mood you are in.

The JLD one was great. She has to be one of the most charming humans alive. Love her.

By the looks of it, he will definitely be doing more tie-ins with Netflix comedians. Luckily for him, it is the new Comedy Central. They just announced they are dropping 47 specials on the same day. He pointed to several guys, Brennan. Mulaney and Hassan, that were involved with Netflix. But these are definitely the people I figured he would interview anyway. They just all happen to be under the NFLX umbrella.
July 11, 20187 yr I don’t care about the production shit, I just know for the most part this show scratches my comedy itch. I don’t care for his politics but I could watch Jerry and Alec Baldwin for an hour, the same way I could watch relentlessly when he pairs up with Bill Burr, Dana Carvey, Brian Regan, JLD, Norm Macdonald, Will Ferrell, Garry Shandling (an absolute shame he passed too young), and Sebastian Maniscalco.Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
July 25, 20187 yr Binging this now, watching very uncritically, and therefore really enjoying it. Louis CK's was great just for the boat story and the payoff at the end with his daughter's line. I've also made myself watch a few that I might have otherwise skipped based on what I know (or didn't know) about the subject. Particularly, Steve Harvey, Ali Wentworth, and Barry Marder. One that really disappointed cause I love the comedian, was Todd Barry. The Miranda Sings was the worst by far (so far). Huge mistake to have her do it in character. The most interesting part was the tag at the end. I do hate that Netflix seems to have shuffled the order (other than the new season) for some reason (or I am doing it wrong). Jarring to see one from 2015, then another that is clearly 2012 or something.
July 25, 20187 yr I've seen most of these, but just caught the Galifinakis one... it was pretty good, but the "Between Two Ferns" interview w/ Jerry at the end was great. Loved "Jerry Seinfeld - Funny 1993-97"

Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Yeah just like anything it works best when Jerry and the other person either have a relationship, a mutual respect, or someone that Jerry actually finds funny. It isn't the perfect set up for a lot of really funny people. That said I enjoy people that can be funny without having to try and have enough personality to make the show interesting because they can have a conversation with someone like Jerry and just shoot the shit like they would be doing if they were actually "just having a cup of coffee".
July 9, 20196 yr First Alec Baldwin Brian Regan First Super Dave Cedric the Entertainer Steve Harvey All excellent
July 9, 20196 yr Brian Regan seems like he's probably the best wing man ever. He's the guy you want riding shotgun.
July 24, 20196 yr 40 minutes for Eddie was nice, I found him more interesting than funny but that's fine. Lots of Cosby talk there, and a little more in the Seth Rogen episode. Rogen describes a "what could have been" all-time comedy moment w/Will Ferrell, and the producers found the footage for the post-credit quickie shot. Show seems to be using more graphics/supporting video than the past, and it helps.
July 24, 20196 yr The Jamie Foxx episode is awesome. People don't realize how all around talented he is. I didn't know he did impersonations, either.

The most eye opening was how Eddie talked about Pryor basically being an asshole to him and giving him bad advice because "he was the other black comic" was really interesting.
