The 'Seinfeld' TV show is over and Jerry is retiring his comic routines. Celebrities of the era join Jerry at a funeral service where they've gathered to bury his bits. Jerry must have had quite a pull with his fellow comedians because we see top flight names like George Carlin, Jay Leno, Alan King, Garry Shandling and a few others either grieving or attempting to grab a few recorded jokes out of the coffin. It was a clever way to open the show, right after a kid on the street in New York City begged Jerry to do his routine one more time.
Jerry's stand up is just like his TV show, it's a lot of funny stuff about nothing in particular, just observations of everyday life that border on the hilarious. He even reveals the big secret of what men think about - 'Nothing'. Among other things, Jerry riffs on airports, old folks retiring in Florida, Halloween and CANDY!, supermarket shopping, doctor visits, Silver Medal winners and horse races. The segments flow quite naturally from one to the next, and he augments his observations with body language and activity across the stage which only makes his bits funnier. The guy really is a comic genius and even if you're not a fan per se, I think you'd get a kick out of at least parts of his routine. His humor is timeless, and even though this show is twenty years old as I write this, I have no doubt that you could watch it at any time and be amused by Jerry Seinfeld's brand of humor.
