I think this thread is a trap. The OP is gathering all of the Seinfeld haters so that they can all be rounded up and banned.
On a serious note, I fully agree with the OP. Seinfeld is just not funny. It has some funny and chuckle worthy moments, but they are so rare. The characters all suck and are simply not likable.
Friends on the other hand is an amazing show!!!
I get different opinions and all, but COSTANZA?
Such fury.
It's just a differing opinion.
I first watched Blade Runner in 2001, when I was 21. I thought it was just about the best thing ever.
I don't really see the similarities. Family Guy is my favorite show ever.
Hate for Seinfeld and Blade Runner on the same thread?
Now I have seem everything.
Such fury.
It's just a differing opinion.
Yeah it's really strange how not funny it is. I think I had this discussion once and maybe only americans like that kind of stuff, always sunny in philadelphia and curb your enthousiasm are also not good. This whole awkward hysteria genre is only funny for you guys I thing.
Maybe you just have to watch more than 10 minutes to find it funny, but it's just tiring to watch.
No man, it's just the absurd hyperbole.
Unfunniest show of all time?
Why is it if somethings not great or good it's "the worst ever!".
If everyone were to make a thread saying "such and such" is the worst or best thing ever, we'd be drowning in this dumb shit constantly lol.
You don't like it, move along or live journal it, don't clog forums with hyperbolic statements.
You should start on season 5 or so. No reason to watch them in order YA DUMMY.
My "back then" comment was too vague, and implied I meant when it first came out.
To clarify: we're the same age, and I first saw it around the same time you did... I think I was 20. I enjoyed it then, and I still do now, but there are several friends of mine who never saw it and want nothing to do with it. So I'm saying that 10 years for me can still be considered a kind of nostalgia =)

So you don't like:
Seinfeld
Curb
It's Always Sunny
I weep for you.
I love both. Curb makes the situations much more awkward, but it definitely recycles jokes from Seinfeld. Put me in the "can't understand why you'd like one and not the other" camp.I love Curb Your Enthusiasm. I find it executes this type of comedy soo much better.
Ah, i see, I thought you meant when the film was first released, 1982.
As for you guys unsure about how to properly watch Seinfeld, the best thing to do is to take all of your DVDs, rip em, add them all to a playlist, shuffle them randomly and save. Completely random is the best way.
Seinfeld is a timeless monument to modern culture. Believing anything less would be...uncivilized.
Seriously, I really do believe the show is timeless. Technology changes and some scenarios are now outdated because of it, but the show's incredibly revealing exposes on social tension and awkwardness remain unparalleled in a "pop" sitcom. There is a Seinfeld for every situation.
God bless this show. For the record, I am 23.
You're acting like Bee Movie is a gauge for the comedy of Seinfeld? Even a fan of the show wouldn't make that connection.I tried watching the show so many times. I kept convincing myself that I was the problem and that if I just tried harder it would become funny.
Wasn't until Bee Movie came out (same guy, same humor) that I came to accept that the show really was genuinely unfunny except for a handful of gem episodes.

You also ignore the fact that Larry David had as much to do with Seinfeld's goodness as Jerry himself, at least in the first several seasons?
This show being called "genuinely unfunny" is just baffling to me.
