YMMV / Jerry Seinfeld

  • Harsher in Hindsight:
    • In one routine where he joked about screwing around in the doctor's exam room after being called out of the waiting room only to wait longer, one of the things he did was lick all the tongue depressors. As Doctor Mike put it, that joke did not age well with COVID.
    • An old bit about airport security not being able to decipher certain objects on their x-ray machines also became cringeworthy after 9/11.
    "What's this? A hair dryer with a scope on it? That's fine. What about this? A bowling ball candle? Yeah, we'll let that through."
  • Hilarious in Hindsight: He had a routine about the oddity of a tuna brand being named “Chicken of the Sea” years before Jessica Simpson was notoriously confused about whether it was actually chicken.
