Stand Up by Jerry Seinfeld

 Stand Up by Jerry Seinfeld


Acclaimed, appreciated, with multiple awards and a great wealth, Jerry Seinfeld is still well known, even if his show has been aired for the first time decades ago.

I had the chance to listen to a CD with highlights and enjoy most of the jokes.
Some are not hilarious.

I do not appreciate the B.O. Joke that opened the line up, maybe because I was a sort of an alien in the US, paid miserly wages by AT&T and then I identify with the cab drivers, even if not with the BO.

But then the other takes on various male habits, Chinese rejection of forks and much more are excellent.
The Doctor's waiting room is a perceptive moment.

People who wait there are indeed more concerned with the others sharing the space, than reading the magazines:

"- I wonder what he's got"

Then there is another room, after the waiting room and Seifeld is accurate and funny in describing what happens there...

-          Take your pants off
-          But it's my head...
-          Take them off
-          Now the doctor is ready for you

And then the comedian wishes he would at one point be able to say...

-          I am not ready for you, Doctor!

The observations regarding male behavior are mostly correct and humorous.
The idea that men think of nothing is part of the jest, but I was not thrilled.
Granted, there are attitudes and people that support the hypothesis...

Trump and his supporters for instance...

Why do men use the horn when they pass a- generally beautiful -woman?
It is absurd and the Seinfeld comment is perfect...

-          What do you think she would do?
-          Take off her shoes and run after the car, hold on to the bumper?
-          At a traffic light she would say...
-          It's good you did that, otherwise I wouldn't have known how you feel...

I am not sure about the idea of women faking orgasms and men having no problem with that.
Which of course reminds one of the famous scene from When Harry Met Sally and the Meg Ryan fake orgasm.

The suggestion that a date is much like a job interview that can go into the night is pertinent and humorous.
Jerry Seinfeld then adds:

-          Of course, there are not many job interviews in which you could end up naked...

The observations regarding childhood were among my favorites.
A child could go with anyone if he or she has candy, which is funny and scary at the same time.

Children do say wait up and the adults use down a lot in the communication with their offspring

-          Calm down, sit down...

And to end with one of my favorite lines from the comedy show:

-          Serenity Now!

  Epistolary edited by Gabriel Liiceanu http://realini.blogspot.com/2021/11/50-minutes-with-plesu-and-liiceanu-10.html 10 out of 10     This wonderful book contains letters exchanged between the brightest minds we have in this realm – there is the exception of Eugen Simion, the late president of the Academy here, a rather horrid attack on luminaries that were so much wiser than this fellow, who came to lead a forum that should be only for the crème de la crème, yet, his presence at the top in fact reveals the ‘values’ that have reached what should be the chamber of the nec plus ultra – and as such, much of what is being debated is quite inaccessible   Ergo, the spoiler alert, warning, disclaimer, and maybe the way out of accusations of spam – one of the notes I have posted on Goodreads, Cleo From 5 to 7 http://realini.blogspot.com/2023/07/cleo-from-5-to-7-aka-cleo-de-5-7-by.html has been deleted, because it was considered spam, while the one who is the #...

The Killer by Luc Jacamon 10 out of 10

  The Killer by Luc Jacamon 10 out of 10     Reading about killers, or watching the stupendous The Killer, with fabulous Michael Fassbinder in the leading role may seem like the wrong idea, in a world that has some nasty wars taking place in Ukraine, Gaza, Sudan, Myanmar, and the danger is that they might be expanding, as it is, Iran is attacking the USA, through its proxies Hezbollah, Houthis in Yemen (they have launched missiles) and militias in Iraq and Syria   It all depends on how good the author is, what the adaptation looks like, cast, director, you could have a magnum opus that is a crime story, such as Crime and Punishment http://realini.blogspot.com/2020/06/crime-and-punishment-by-fyodor.html by Fyodor Dostoyevsky - an algorithm has recently looked at various relevant compilations and established the 50 Greatest Novels and the story of Raskolnikov is on it, together with other astounding works, Marcel Proust is at number one The Killer starts...

  The Adventures of Ferdinand, Count Fathom by Tobias Smollett – included on The 1,000 Novels Everyone Must Read List http://poemeglume.blogspot.com/2023/04/1000-novels-everyone-must-read.html 7 out of 10     The Adventures of Ferdinand, Count Fathom was first published in 1753, which might mean that it is not for the tastes of readers from our times, not even middle aged ones, like yours truly (who is actually sixty in a couple of months, but like to adopt the ‘the sixties are the new forties’ slogan) who has abandoned this   Hence, the spoiler alert, warning, disclaimer to avoid being (again) censored for spam – though I did not get the inclusion in that category, a reading of the definition could help, but this being my note, until it is obliterated by the Goodreads staff, and then it will still be available at the new blog https://realinibarzoi.blogspot.com/ I say that spam is used for the unrequested messages we receive, meant to make us buy things ...
