“Jerry Seinfeld is no doubt one of the original kings of clean comedy and we remember him for this stand-ups pieces from Seinfeld. Even his special, post Seinfeld was tight. However, this offering from Jerry doesnu0026#39;t even come close.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eJerry is aging and that is no secret. However, it is evident from the lack of energy in his routine. Jerry has tried to transition to the seasoned comic routines that the likes of George Carlin specialized in, where the comics talk about their experiences a lot and crib about everything. However, without the aggression of Carlin and the comic relevance of Louis CK, this particular stand-up is more of a miss than a hit. Most of the special focuses on his experiences and only a few punch lines are funny. And those are the jokes from several previous specials. u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eSome of the lines lack humor to the extent of making you cringe. People used to say the Jerryu0026#39;s comedy was for the sheep and I was one of them. His mainstream comedy has transitioned into an unfunny narrative that is selectively laced with mild humor. u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eWatch it for Jerry, if you have to. If you miss it, you wouldnu0026#39;t be missing much. If like me, you want to remember Jerry in a different light, avoid watching at any cost.”
