These recent Seinfeld secrets baffle me. The humor of the show is based in 90s absurdism. (A lot like South Park.) The deaths were considered funny because they were ridiculous. It just seems like a weird take that misunderstands the whole premise and style of the show.

That is pretty much the feeling I had too. I've seen Seinfeld come up more often recently and wondered if it's suddenly streaming somewhere or something. It seems like it is getting a new audience that just don't get the brand of humor.

DA
I think the same thing. It’s weird to me that anyone would watch it but not get the humor of it. I personally never liked the show but it was the most successful and highest rated sitcom of the 90s. But I feel like it’s more of its time than Friends (which I liked then and can’t stand now).

It's on Netflix now, which might have something to do with it.

Yeah, and some people, including me, thought that humour was unpleasant in the 90s! I did like South Park at the time because it was funny and ridiculous. Seinfeld was much nastier and self-centered. I think it was my first encounter with the kind of media where everyone is an asshole to some degree and I've never liked it.

But everyone is an asshole in south park too. I find that humor leans on cruelty a lot more than Seinfeld. But to each their own.

DA I think it’s probably a combination of it being animation, the characters being kids, and a lot of the humor was shock/outrage.

But also I think for some viewers Seinfeld was too NYC centric and too white collar.

[(Anonymous)]

AYRT They weren't, though, at least not at the time I was watching, which was admittedly a long time ago. Most of the adult are, but the kids aren't, and the joke is "wow people are hypocrites" not "look at these assholes being assholes."

[(Anonymous)]

The kids were definitely assholes, especially Cartman.

Part of South Park's schtick involved deliberately causing offense in order to butcher scared cows. This meant that almost every character on the show was either an exaggerated stereotype or an asshole. Saying that it was funnier than Seinfeld because all of the characters on Seinfeld were assholes is...well, I don't think the asshole quotient is actually the deciding factor, here.
