    I think it’s hilarious that on the front page, we have both a meme about how shitty Jerry Seinfeld is and a bunch of people in the comments talking about how Seinfeld the show wasn’t funny and also a meme using a picture from an episode of Seinfeld.

      Just because something is memeable doesn’t mean it was the funniest thing ever. Memeable usually implies some amount of lowest common denominator, which I think the Seinfeld detractors would agree fits the show.

            No, I didn’t imply anything. I directly said the juxtaposition was made me laugh.

            But also, there are degrees between ‘unfunny’ and ‘the funniest thing ever,’ so even if I did imply that, I still never said Seinfeld was the funniest thing ever.
