Wasn't that the whole point of the Seinfeld finale? That as funny as these people are... they're horrible monsters, not to be emulated.
I'm watching the Seinfeld takedown now, and despite being a comedian Owen has no fucking sense of humor. Satan! Sodomites!
Regarding his takedown of the "Soup Nazi" episode: If the characters all just stood in line and ordered properly, you wouldn't have a show. You'd have a camera documenting boring people doing boring things.
Who would want to watch people just stand in line and order something? We all do that every day.
This, I think, is the big flaw of a lot of conservative culture. Its adherents are so obsessed with rule following and maintaining order that there's no joy or humor. It's as if they can only envision a world filled with stone-faced drones going to work like programmed robots.
There are a lot of aspects of modern culture that deserve to be critiqued if not outright trashed. It would be better if people concentrated on the globalist corporations that push consumerist propaganda songs like "Seven Rings" than a 30-year-old, independently-produced show that never hid the fact that it was about terrible people doing terrible things.
Also, Seinfeld appeals to the self absorbed selfish part of everyone's character. Comedy does this a lot. Allows you to indulge mentally in behavior you wouldn't do in real life.
It's like a release, the humor equivalent of the catharsis that happens when people cry at a tragedy.
Analyzing these characters like they are just normal people is insane.
It is on the same level as back in the day when sometimes Ronald Reagan talked about movies he was in as if they were actual experiences in his life.
Owen, these aren't real people.
