I'm just of the opinion that anyone that doesn't like Seinfeld doesn't like Larry David. And not finding Larry David's writing for Seinfeld absolutely brilliant just means you don't like fun. And you can always pick out the Larry David stuff. It's a lot meaner and sharper than the stuff Seinfeld wrote.
They weren't as "on" as many Seinfeld fans would leave you to believe, but when they got it right, they got it better than anyone else.
The mailbag/airport gambling episode was just a stroke of genius. And I hate to even bring up the backwards/wedding episode. If you don't find them funny and brilliant at the same time, you're broken. And I hope you take it personally. Broken. For sure.

No, that's also shite, since Curb Your Enthusiasm is funny.

He was basically the head writer for seasons one through seven, then he left. I think one of the reasons the finale sucked was because he came back after two years of not doing Seinfeld.

But it'd become the shit comedy thread, so people just assumed Seinfeld fit.

That's a matter of opinion. Mine is that I couldn't get through one episode of Curb Your Enthusiasm, and I loved all but the last 2 seasons of Seinfeld.

Ironwood just doesn't like fun. All he was doing was confirming the truth of my post with his followup post.

That comic, and yesterday's, are probably the worst ones to show to new readers. They're not really trying to be funny. You really do have to start at the beginning of the archives and get to know the characters. And read the blogs linked on the main site (most of the main characters have one), which are awesome as well. But yeah, it's not for everyone. Although it did win Time Magazine's graphic novel of the year. ... That's not helping the whole pretentious thing, is it?

I knew this one would be totally out of left field, but it is still great.

A couple favourites, from my halfway-done reading of the archives: Also, here's a brilliant incorporation of Seinfeld, for all you two-time haters: Aaaaaaand I'd like to add that lesion's link to the description of killing as a basketball game is the funniest strip ever. Edited to fix broken link.

The thread is about trying to get people to like this retarded comic, it even starts with a question. We're answering that question. If you ask "Why aren't y'all reading this?" and then don't like the answers that's your God damn problem, if the internet is too tough for you stay the fuck off it. Edit: Link added

The same people keep coming in here - According to you antagonized by a thread title - and saying the same shit, and I'm the one with the problem. Okay.

If you stayed out of public forums completely then we wouldn't be having this conversation, would we? Why don't you do everyone a favor and stay in your little private forums. Edit: And I thought you weren't allowed to post from work anymore, what happened there? Man that was a fantastic day when you went silent, no more spamming the boards with one hundred posts a day about the inane shit that goes on in your life. And now it seems you're slowly creeping back, bad news.

See I thought there was a website where this stuff was hosted so people who liked it could go there... posting it here seems ot be more about showing off you like it rather than just appreciating it. The two posted by DeathInABottle are funny. Fuck you.

I mean, I don't come into your threads about things I think are stupid and take dumps there. What the hell is wrong with you? I thought it was a valuable insight. Before that revelation I couldn't have told you why Achewood occasionally got a chuckle out of me. Now I know.

What about Stawberry Cheesecake? Miasma it's a little off-putting for you to stray into clearly personal territory in a thread about mildly funny comics of all things. It's a thread about comics - lighten up. If you want to be nasty for no reason come do it in Politics.

In his defense, VDL kind of made it hostile first by insulting the people disagreeing with her then just typing Fuck You as a response to random criticism.
