Please use spoiler tags whenever commenting a spoiler in a non-spoiler thread. Most of the Lemmy clients don't support this but we want to get into the habit as clients will be supporting in the future.

Simplest rule of being a comedian, if the audience isn't laughing, tell a different joke.
The audience isn't wrong just because you can't stick anything with them, and if you bomb out then you just sucked for that audience and that is also, not their fault.
Seinfeld at least had the common sense to bow out of the college circuit when he realized his material wasn't landing anymore, even if he made a spectacle of being a crying little pansy about it.
And don't even get me started about Bill Maher, if you ever wanna snap a Millenial or Zoomer out of a weed phase, tell them that if they don't stop they could turn out like Bill Maher, and those youngins will be sober as mormons by the time you've finished the sentence.
I'm painfully out of the loop with most pop culture. I blame the isopods I live with under this rock; they only like to watch live stream gaming which bores me to tears. Because of this, I'm unaware of the Seinfeld crying like a pansy bit you reference. Mind filling me in a bit? Even if it's just enough to give me bits to search, that would be great.
It was a few years ago, like pre-covid, he made a big statement about how he isn't doing colleges anymore because college students are "too sensitive" and "don't appreciate a good joke anymore."
Yeah Jerry it's definitely the jokes and certainly had nothing to do with you dating a 17 year old at 38.
Sure it's the college that is blowing things out of proportion...
