Jerry Seinfeld: 23 Hours to Kill

Don't let the reviews of jaded depressed peoples stop you from seeing this... He is one in a billion...Enjoy him while he's still around. Funny people don't stop being funny (why would they?) - but many lose their ability to laugh at funny - too bad for them!

Jerry can range. And what I mean by that is he doesn't always, uh, "soar".

And I would suggest that he doesn't soar, here.

Here, he showcases a predilection for "observations" that don't really work. They're the kind of stuff that, under the tender ministrations of Larry David, often got lampooned in the old Seinfeld show.

It was a little disappointing to see. I wanted to see Jerry soar, here. He too often falls flat.

I'm very surprised by the amount of negative reviews on here. There are much more reviews than for most other stand-up comedians, which proves that Jerry Seinfeld is quite famous, and I think people are too critical for this specific show. It's like people expecting watching Seinfeld the series, one we almost all loved, but this is his stand-up comedy and I thought he had some clever well thought of jokes, certainly well brought as it all looks very natural with him. I saw better stand-up comedies, that I agree, but disliking this show is something I don't really get. It's an hour of easy entertainment about daily things we don't really stand still at, but where Jerry Seinfeld thinks about and in some cases his analysis is spot on. Good enough for me.

Some scattered thoughts on another solid Jerry Seinfeld standup special:

1. Jerry looks really good for 65 years old.

2. I don't know why it's called 23 Hours To Kill.

3. That helicopter stunt was pointless but admittedly pretty cool, especially considering his age.

4. 99% of this standup special will be exactly what you expect it to be. So if you like Jerry Seinfeld's comedy you'll enjoy it, and if you don't really like his style, then you probably won't like this special. Thankfully, I generally enjoy his standup, and so generally enjoyed this.

5. Jerry looks like he could do this in his sleep he's so natural. I won't argue he's the funniest standup comedian, but he might be one of the most skilled. His style and delivery remains incredibly natural and I often find myself forgetting it's a well-rehearsed, painstakingly panned performance.

6. Pick up your stupid trash when you're in a movie theatre, Jerry. It's probably a joke but if that's his genuine attitude that's pretty petty, not gonna lie.

I think Seinfeld has run out of interesting things to say. I won't totally bash him because there were a few funny moments in this special but for the most part it didn't seem like the same Seinfeld.

There were a few moments that seemed like he was testing new material. If you're a Seinfeld fan, give it a try. Unfortunately, it won't be a special I'll be revisiting in the future.
