Has this ever been done in a good way that isnt Seinfeld? Was it very much of it's time? Why is it still on tv in the form of "grumpy old men/women"

Every great stand-up ever?
Thats what I would say
Infact, pretty much all funny comedy is based on reality and being able to somehow realte is what makes it funny.
I think the line should be drawn under the obvious observational stuff. The stuff that is so obvious that it isn't even a joke, it's just saying "black men drive like this "boo boo boo", white men drive like this "bee bee bee"". White men have names like Lenny, black men have names like Karl etc
Curb You Enthusiasm
^ this
100%
My favourite show :]
it is so good
to go back to watching aswell if you havent seen it in a bit
for sure.
i think it is on More4 later :]
have you ever noticed....
that black guys drive like this **laid back, one armed driving** but white guys drive like this ** tense, hunched, two handed driving
What did I just say?
Racist
balls
have you ever noticed....
that gina yashire's mum is not from england?
Have you ever noticed...
that Gina Yashire has a big fuck-off birthmark on her neck? Makes me fucking sick.
Lol.
I love it when people express severe disdain with the words 'It makes me fucking sick''.
I drive like a black man and I am from England
Work that one out!
I saw loadsa comedy on da weekend
and I think most comedy is observational in some shape or form. Taking something then showing it in a diffrent light for luaghs. Even serreal stuff has a firm grounding in normal everyday stuff around us.
Charlie Brooker
Bill Hicks
What's the deal with Ovaltine?
The mug is round.
The jar is round.
They should call it Roundtine.
...
BANIA.
where do all those odd socks go?
i was watching 'how to'
way back when, and they did a big explanation about socks that go missing in the wash, and it turns out that they go inside your duvet cover, the little scamps.
no but they actually just disappear!
I bet they go to an alternate sock universe! haha how funny would that be! I bet all the odd socks are really lost and confused. God that would be hilarious!!!
nothing funny
about it at all. lost in a strange sock planet, only hoping to be one day reunited with their mate. not funny at all, sir!
What's with those fat women who get diet coke
to go with there X-tra large triple whopper meal?
Come on!
Has anyone noticed how Mrs. Pirtley
has taken three loads of rubbish to the bins outside?! Her barbeque was weeks ago and she didn't even invite Fat Tommy!
...i admit it's a highly subjective form of observational comedy.
Jerry Seinfeld
was always a pretty poor stand-up. Great sitcom, though.
