Thanks for watching the first episode of our new show "Does It Hold Up?" Let us know what shows from the past you'd like to see in a future episode. Hope you enjoy and do you think Seinfeld holds up to 2018?
Yeah, it was clear that most of them didn't get that they were not portraying 'good' people. Maybe that means it doesn't hold up for that generation then? idk..
"This wouldn't be ok today", Drugging women to play with their stuff wasn't ok back then either, but thats what makes it comedy, taking a ridiculous premise and presenting it as normal
That redhead holy shit. Lives in a single lane....just because something is said doesn't mean the world will take offense to it. Walking on too many eggshells.
"George: I don't want hope. Hope is killing me. My dream is to become hopeless. When you're hopeless you don't care. And when you don't care, that indifference makes you attractive. Jerry: So, hopelessness is the key? George: It's my only hope."
It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia is way edgier than Seinfeld ever was. The Eric Andre Show is too. There are definitely far edgier things available to watch currently.
BTW, little miss outrage might be interested to know that the episode she is so outraged by actually won a GLADD award. Interesting that the new folks do not know the foundation on which they stand and have inherited.
I believe it has, but most people that watch network tv today would be older people, like, I'm seventeen and none of my friends watch it. We have Netflix, RUclips, the internet... and when I do watch it, it's not at all geared toward adolescents/young adults (imo)
Sure. The show, with these jokes in it still airs and these kids just don't happen to appreciate it the same way many of us do and they are expressing their opinions about it. It's that simple
As a member if Gen z, we don’t claim these people, hell, at school they are like the weird kids because they can’t socialize and just have big mouth on social media
Aja's Deathdrop this is actually manufactured outrage, and it’s nothing even remotely fucking close to empathy. These kids are so scared to fucking enjoy a joke because it might be offensive. I’m sorry, but you can’t pretend like that is “empathy.” Nobody needs these little shits, or anybody for that matter, to be offended on their behalf.
If each generation gets more and more PC, where da fk do we go from here? Nowadays, all you need to do is insult a kid's Instagram feed to put them on suicide watch
I think these kids are missing the point that the fucked-upness is the appeal to it. They're displayed as normal people yet the average person isn't like this which is what makes them fascinating. It's like an older Always Sunny In Philly but with better chemistry and relateableness. Always Sunny still amazing though. Kids may not like it today but in terms of writing, Seinfield was way ahead of its time. They were very good at making amoral people likeable and relatable yet you don't wanna say you'd do these things. The writers were also very good storytellers and could write multiple storylines in one episode. The show was very relateable in terms of the situations and things they go through but the avg person would handle it very differently
That Morgan girl is such a damn buzzkill. Literally half the stuff she was getting mad about wasn’t even that offensive. I bet she spends all day on Twitter getting mad about the smallest things
@@buddyboi8456 true. Everyone gets offended by everything now. Imagine how they feel watching its always sunny or southpark ( especially the recent seasons).
Luis seems pretty cool, Jeannie seems like she would be no fun at a party, and Morgan is just a infuriating person on every level,she's a outrage machine
@@dieseljr7946 leftists push politically correctness so that destroys a lot of materials as “allowable” for comedy. That’s why most of the comedy after 2010 suck so much compared to what the Gen X grew up with in the 1990s and 2000s.
Seinfeld like Sunny or Trailer Park Boys have main characters that are suppose to be unlikeable because your not laughing with them your laughing AT them! There are two kinds of people: those who like Friends and the smart ones who like Seinfeld
Hard to watch the criticism as I am a huge Seinfeld fan. I think it’s probably the greatest sitcom of all time and so many modern shows are modeled on Seinfeld.
@Michael Anderson not true!! thats only some of gen z(usually the ones still on twitter in 2020 rip) most of gen z can take a joke and we hate millenials
As someone part of Gen Z (a Zillennial), I enjoy watching Seinfeld and got into watching Seinfeld when I was 17, 6 years ago. I think that this show does hold up and still holds up to this day, because of the plot, the relatability, the issues, and how pretty realistic it is. Many people are so sensitive nowadays. Not saying that we shouldn't be sensitive and empathetic towards others, but there's a point when you have to go and say, "Hey, this is still relatable. This is still relevant. Yes, it has a few flaws and errors, but it still holds up!" People need to learn how to relax and not take everything so literal. That's when things can also become an issue. Not everything has to be literal. Laugh at others, laugh at yourself. Laugh at the funny things and the mistakes. That's how we learn, grow and connect.
There seems to be a major disconnect here. Representation of someone doing something immoral is not an endorsement of that behavior. Jerry choosing the drowsy pill so he can play with the toy collection is funny because he's so unwilling to set aside his selfishness. He's a shallow person throughout the series (as are George, Elaine and Kramer). There's a reason they end up in prison at the end - because they're self serving yuppies that lack common decency.
This is what happens when you overly pamper and protect your golden child and give them trophies for finishing last and then stick a screen in front of their face 24-7-365. You get idiots.
as if the "them" should be upset. What it the "them" had a laugh as well? Would she get upset even more because they diddnt get upset like she wanted and thinks it should be? XD
About three quarters of the way in, one of the viewers catches on. You aren’t supposed to like Jerry and his friends!! You’re supposed to find them despicable, just like your real friends!!!!!
You aren't quite old enough to have experienced the full gammit of hate in the world, yet. (Not that there's anything wrong with that!) These ones have. All they guys, and Tori, were cool. Morgan is insufferable and will continue to be.
Meowizzy good point. Outrageous comedy is still out there. I think they just picked a particular kind of person and used them to provoke normal people.
Sunny is basically a Seinfeld remake, which less boundaries cause it’s smaller network. 2 of the best sitcoms of all time. The fact there was no continued plot line--each show starts from scratch, is part of the beauty
Don't they know how comedy works? I'm from India and I watched the show (and keep rewatching) and its hilarious. The writing is crisp and very incisive.
"They set the girls up to be the bit*h"? Uh, no. Jerry and his friends were made to be unlikable jerks. The very last episode proves it. HOWEVER, those unlikable jerks are characters we can ALL relate to if we were honest about it. Me? I'm a George Costanza, socially and a Jerry Seinfeld in all else. That's the genius of it.
Exactly! It is about how we all are but are too afraid to admit. Like, how many people out there pretend to be "an architect" when they're not?! Seinfeld was and still is the best!
@@gracjanlekston134 You're exactly right. I loved this show when it came out, and still love it today, but it doesn't hold up because it was one of, if not THE first kind of show of its kind. Other shows have come out since, and have done it better.
Why do they consistently miss the fact that the show centers around making fun of it's characters, one of my favorite things about Seinfeld is that they always make a point to highlight that what they are saying is wrong by bringing in characters to chastise their foolishness
I’ve always loved how the characters would make a big deal out of something that’s stupid that’s what made it so funny some people just don’t understand the concept I don’t think
The majority of these kids are pretty irritating especially Morgan and Jeannie, I feel sorry for the people that have the misfortune to deal with them.
Seinfeld is an iconic show. Hilariously funny and definitely pushing the limits for that time. Some of the greatest lines (phrases) came from this show. It can definitely stand today, hence why they still show it on TV.
Me personally I’ve always loved Seinfeld the humor is right up my alley but you have to remember everyone has a different sense of humor what I find funny someone else might not if you get what I mean.
People are waaaayyy to serious. This show is classic and hilarious. I'm 23 and I watched it for the first time last year. Also they picked very controversial episodes on purpose to make them look bad.
Loved the episode, but my main issue was that there seemed to be a confusion where some Reacters thought it was, "Would this be appropriate in 2018?" compared to, "Would a 2018 audience enjoy this content?" Though there's definitely some overlap. There were some points where a Reacter would say, I think it would be appropriate in 2018, and didn't hit on whether they thought it would be popular.
Does it hold up? Seinfeld never went nowhere, people still love it today. Hulu bought the show for $150 milllion just for the streaming licence 2 years ago.

The whole show was to satirically represent the insensitivities.
Yeah, it was clear that most of them didn't get that they were not portraying 'good' people. Maybe that means it doesn't hold up for that generation then? idk..
Literally It’s Always Sunny is just an edgier Seinfeld.
yeah. they picked some good reacters for this episode
You’re referring to the kids they picked for this video, right? ;)
Ya'll ever see south park? All of this would hold up.
Early South Park was the best thing on television
Totally. It's only the best show ever!!!
dxrebel faxxxxx
The question shouldn't be "Would it Hold up today" it should be "Would it Hold up today, if people weren't so goddamn sensitive"
South Park is a masterpiece
"This wouldn't be ok today",
Drugging women to play with their stuff wasn't ok back then either, but thats what makes it comedy, taking a ridiculous premise and presenting it as normal
And it's hilarious!
Theres even a thing in there where Kramer condemns Jerry's actions.
Not to mention the whole group comes over at the end and get her sleepy on turkey to all play with her toys together as well
Pure comedy. Peopleo really don't have taste sometimes. Sienfeld is great!

@@queenjustine66 In the 5 years since the post, a lot of young people have developed a great ear for satire.

Sunny is basically a Seinfeld remake, which less boundaries cause it’s smaller network. 2 of the best sitcoms of all time. The fact there was no continued plot line--each show starts from scratch, is part of the beauty
Disappointed on my female counterparts... so uptight, self-righteous and easy to offend
Don't they know how comedy works? I'm from India and I watched the show (and keep rewatching) and its hilarious. The writing is crisp and very incisive.
Ikr?
No they don't. Not a clue.
american teens seem to invested in a social cause to understand humor, we luckily don't have the same thing in India.
I would like to point out that the same generation that has a problem with "the contest" episode are the ones that come up with "no nut november"
"They set the girls up to be the bit*h"? Uh, no. Jerry and his friends were made to be unlikable jerks. The very last episode proves it. HOWEVER, those unlikable jerks are characters we can ALL relate to if we were honest about it. Me? I'm a George Costanza, socially and a Jerry Seinfeld in all else. That's the genius of it.
Exactly! It is about how we all are but are too afraid to admit. Like, how many people out there pretend to be "an architect" when they're not?! Seinfeld was and still is the best!
Whoever thinks Seinfeld is offensive needs to eat some concrete. This world is so soft
They are commenting on the face value. Point of Seinfeld was to make fun of pettiness of the 'mordern' people of that time.
So in other words it doesn't hold up because its humour is too specific so newer generations can't relate to it, right?
@@gracjanlekston134 You're exactly right. I loved this show when it came out, and still love it today, but it doesn't hold up because it was one of, if not THE first kind of show of its kind. Other shows have come out since, and have done it better.
@@IveAlreadyWon What shows have done it better?
What's scary is how many episodes of Seinfeld somehow swung back around to being topical again.
rolling eyes through out the whole episode.
why?
Why do they consistently miss the fact that the show centers around making fun of it's characters, one of my favorite things about Seinfeld is that they always make a point to highlight that what they are saying is wrong by bringing in characters to chastise their foolishness
And they don't even really need to say it- that's the point of the show, that the characters are assholes
For real. I mean the show ends with them going to jail for being sh*tty people.
I’ve always loved how the characters would make a big deal out of something that’s stupid that’s what made it so funny some people just don’t understand the concept I don’t think
The majority of these kids are pretty irritating especially Morgan and Jeannie, I feel sorry for the people that have the misfortune to deal with them.
Seinfeld is an iconic show. Hilariously funny and definitely pushing the limits for that time. Some of the greatest lines (phrases) came from this show. It can definitely stand today, hence why they still show it on TV.
I weep for humanity.
Hard hitting statement
Same
Me personally I’ve always loved Seinfeld the humor is right up my alley but you have to remember everyone has a different sense of humor what I find funny someone else might not if you get what I mean.
Seinfeld did No Nut November first....
People are waaaayyy to serious. This show is classic and hilarious. I'm 23 and I watched it for the first time last year. Also they picked very controversial episodes on purpose to make them look bad.
Seinfeld has made $4 billion in syndication, so yes it has held up.
George Carlin was right about youth.
Loved the episode, but my main issue was that there seemed to be a confusion where some Reacters thought it was, "Would this be appropriate in 2018?" compared to, "Would a 2018 audience enjoy this content?" Though there's definitely some overlap.
There were some points where a Reacter would say, I think it would be appropriate in 2018, and didn't hit on whether they thought it would be popular.
This is the big issue I had with this video. I liked seeing their reactions, but I really did not like their insights.
Literally watched his whole show a year ago when I was 13 and thought it was hilarious. People are easily offended.
Remember fun?
Pepperidge farm remembers!
Oh i member !
Member when people could take a joke?
remember when you could make something creative without it having to pass a test? yeah i remember
How's your dad roach dog?
My take away from this episode is that Luis is the one with the best sense of humor.
Does it hold up? Seinfeld never went nowhere, people still love it today. Hulu bought the show for $150 milllion just for the streaming licence 2 years ago.
Morgan needs to take a god damn chill pill
If South Park can still be shown on the air in 2018, literally any other show can too. I don't see the point of this series
Such a good point!
Anyone who's said this doesn't hold up clearly hasn't seen It's Always Sunny In Philadelphia
Yep. There's a reason Sunny is refered to as Seinfeld on crack.
We're all doomed.
My thoughts exactly.
