Probably because he comes from a time when it was permissible (if unoriginal) to make jokes involving stereotypes about women and he feels threatened that now people are less amused by that than they were when he was young.

Ahh, that makes sense, but even his stereotypical jokes were tame, so I still don't really get it. I do know he was saying that he doesn't do performances at colleges anymore because of ~PC culture~ but I'd say it's probably closer to the truth that he can't sell out those venues or even put a dent in them ticket sales wise. Pretty much every college-age kid I know thinks he's overrated/just plain not funny.

Haha, he walked that remark about college venues waaaaay back in a recent interview. I'm inclined to agree with you. I don't think Seinfeld was ever that funny, but then I'm not familiar with his stand up work so I don't know how much of it would be considered problematic. Like you, I'd think it'd be more a case of college age kids thinking his humor is dated and not particularly funny.

Am college-age kid, can verify. Also, he's just not very well-known among my schoolmates. His humor is outdated, and if anyone recognizes him (most don't), it's from "that TV show my parents watch", which is never a good sign popularity-wise.
