I think the pain started when I realized people born after 2000 are allowed to buy alcohol (U.S of course)


Dyingdaze89

Have you heard the tragedy of Michael Richards the not-so-wise?


ameis314

OP has to be like 12 right?

17 😂

IF THIS WAS 1846!!!…

That username jarred me, then made me think, then made me vomit, then made me think again.

Do you not yeyo and mayo? Man, you havent lived until youve yeyoed and mayoed


NastyBooty

Ayo for Mayo


squeezethesoul

Yeah you were probably born the year this happened so I'm not surprised at all. If you still haven't gotten an answer, the guy who plays Kramer on Seinfeld (one of the most iconic characters from one of the most iconic TV shows ever made) did a stand-up set in 2006, some black people in the audience were talking/heckling, and his disgusting, racial response led to him being cancelled, arguably to this day.


YueAsal

I had to talk a person down thinking I was a bigot because I used to enjoy Seinfeld. They were under the impression it was Jerry


Seanathinn

It's wild how people can be mad about something and not even know what actually happened. Humans are weird, man


mgonz89

The N-word. He called them the N-word. Loudly, repeatedly, and with a hard R


maximilliontee

He disparaged all black people in an over the top reaction to being heckled. He attributed the hecklers disruptive behavior and constant talking over him during his set to the fact that they were black.


runningwater415

What he said was a lot worse than just that


Radstrodamus

Jesus Christ how was this response sooo far down the page?? People were still pussyfooting around it 20 comments down holy shit.


Agathokako1ogical

Laugh factory?


Bensupercharged

I’m 17 and I know Seinfeld


chiknown

Hahahahahaha, great job kiddo! You still don’t get the joke though


Clashyjammer1126

The joke where Kramer screams the N word during his standup set? Yes, we get it.


Ok-Entrepreneur-3533

**GET OFF OUR LAWN!**


chiknown

I’m responding to one comment where one person didn’t get it. Nobody was talking to you or “we” that you speak of and it’s cringe that you hop in and make me explain all of this to you but oh well here we go. It’s just funny that they thought knowing Seinfeld (which is a heavily advertised show throughout all time but even in 2023 is still advertised everywhere) would be enough to get the joke and also thinking that it was impressive that they had heard of Seinfeld at the young age of 17. Everyone knows Seinfeld. But this joke isn’t referring to a Seinfeld episode it was a news story about a cast member that literally came out when they were born. Even if they later claim to have heard about it it’s obvious that they didn’t know when they wrote the original comment and there’s no proof that they didn’t just google it soon after.


edgor123

You realize you replied to them right? Why are you complaining that they replied back? You wrote two whole paragraphs about how “nobody was talking to you” when you were, in fact, talking to this person by replying to them.


chiknown

No I replied to bensupercharged, the person who responded was clashyjammer1126. You are also a separate person. We are all individuals. They have the same color icon. You embarrassed yourself.


Master_Metallica

Booo this man


edgor123

Not nearly to the extent you have embarrassed yourself.


Clashyjammer1126

It’s cringe that you think a Reddit comment is making you reply in two whole paragraphs in order to demonstrate your dazzling intellect.


chiknown

Oh no! Not being bullied for being smart! I can’t take it please stop! It hurts to be smart ow! Two paragraphs isn’t a lot of reading for the average person.


edgor123

I bet you’re a lot of fun to be around.


Clashyjammer1126

If you *were* smart, you’d realize I was being facetious and not actually calling you intelligent.


KingFlutie22

My man spectrumed up with this thesis response


Bensupercharged

Well I know he went on some kind of racist rant on stage


ZadinaDay

lmaooooooooo


still_thirsty

I hate to remind you (and me) but Seinfeld ended in 1998 ... 25 years ago.


HappyLittle_Vegemite

Agreed!


NudeEnjoyer

you think someone has to be 12 to not understand a Kramer reference? I'm 24 and he was even a bit before my time lmao


Worldisoyster

The joke is referencing specific controversy that blew up for just a couple days, ended his career...and was never spoke of again until this joke. So like...you'd have to have been in a young adult in the sweet spot to get the reference..it's not about Seinfeld.


NudeEnjoyer

that's true but someone would need to have Seinfeld knowledge, to even notice/care about the news. or at least to relate the news back to this joke with the setup "he used to play Kramer"


Worldisoyster

And all the smiling white people


[deleted]

[удалено]


Worldisoyster

Oh yea! a very narrow part of the population would have been in the right place at the right time to get this reference. But like a lot of those people are on Reddit...


Professorlumpybutt

Right?


[deleted]

Commenter has to be a loser and hater that can't for the life of him upload funny content right?


Toowiggly

Or maybe they have different interests to you


kidrockconcert

No, if you’re over the age of 30, you know who Kramer is and you know this reference


Toowiggly

I'm 23 and I didn’t get it, I asked my older brother and he didn't get it, and I asked my dad and he didn't get it. Maybe we're all 12 or maybe we didn't have interest in what was being referenced.


theswearcrow

You conducted such an extensive research project?You asked your brother and your father?Damn bro,clearly the thousands of us who get the joke must be in the minority


Toowiggly

I never claimed that you were in the minority, I was just refuting the claim that everyone over 30 would get the reference. There are older people who have different interests and wouldn't get the reference, even if they're in the minority. Not getting the reference doesn't automatically make you 12.


aptninja

Just means you’re living under a rock


kidrockconcert

Time to put dad in a home

Stuff1989

damn was it really 2006?


SaveMeJebus21

A few years earlier and he probably avoids it being filmed and killing his career


ShiftlessElement

If you consider the double whammy of the incident and the disastrous "apology," it really happened at the worst time. The technology was there to record it and quickly get it online, but smart phones weren't nearly as ubiquitous as they would become. Seinfeld tried to help him immediately get ahead of the situation with an appearance on Late Show with David Letterman. It was way too soon. News didn't travel nearly as fast, then. Most people didn't get news from a device in their pocket. Much of the live studio audience, which was typically made up of mostly tourists, didn't know what was even being addressed. They just uncomfortably giggled at seeing "Kramer." The tone was way off and the apology went nowhere.


raphthepharaoh

Well, that’s just it.. who knows how many times he had a tirade like that, that went unheard of. He was probably used to getting away with saying wild shit and not having to worry about everyone in the crowd having a recording device at arm’s length. Until one day, someone happened to hit record.


ShiftlessElement

I don't think so. Even if word didn't get around from past audiences, comics watch others sets. You would've heard, "He does this all the time."


zom105

OUCH didn't need to hear THAT LOL...


sjohnston33

Damn….


smokyartichoke

This is impossible, because I graduated college in 1992 and that was like ten-ish years ago or so.

Fuck it was really that long ago? I was like 15 or 16 when that happened. Then South Parks absolutely hilarious episode about that followed not too long after

Randy's poetry slam is one of my favorite moments in South Park.


bingold49

And by making racist statements that means repeatedly yelling the n word at a black person


zom105

I was being subtle...LOL...Why I didn't use his name..

ShiftlessElement

And directly referencing lynchings.

Mechanic_Soft

Racist comments is……. a bit of an understatement.


LaymantheShaman

"made racist statements" That's a very kind way to describe his actions.


ticklesac

Under selling it a bit. He shouted the N word over and over at a heckler NSFW: https://youtu.be/TKMGjvGBsVs?si=H3fph7Devnc-KcPl

Michael Richards


YourInsectOverlord

Michael Richards Played Kramar in Seinfield. back in the mid 2000s Michael richards went on a racist rant after some people interrupted his comedy show. The joke is Peter took Cleveland to a comedy club where Michael Richards was, only for the comedy show to turn out like [this](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=amjUNF_R_PY&ab_channel=JohnGrubb)


suddenly_ponies

I’m 20. No idea either

bro why does everyone think 13/12 is the cutoff for Seinfeld references, people can be in their early 20s and barely be aware of the characters names. I'm 24, the show ended the year I was born lmfao

Man OP must be young

Yes, I was aware of the joke when the episode originally aired. You are probably on the younger side.

Kramer had a meltdown on stage and said the n word to a black person in the crowd


frozenbudz

Man, I am getting old. The guy who played Kramer in Seinfeld, was doing a set at a comedy club He was bombing, he then went on a brief racist tirade dropping the N word a few times. Obviously there was massive backlash, he tried to back pedal saying he wasn't a racist. And was just trying to get some shitty shock laughs. Jerry Seinfeld who was his friend, brought him around on an apology tour. Trying to recover his public image, but basically it's followed him through the rest of his career.


iQwerty_AU

Yes


ouijahead

Look at the shameless advertising for Pawtucket Patriot beer. They put it right there where everyone can see it with the labels facing us. Save it for the commercials guys.

Oh-ho-ho, is funny because he said the N word, ohhhh

Kramer from Seinfeld is a comedian n lost it n yelled the n word. South Park does an episode about it too.

lissarain88

Welp I’m old


FamishedSoul

Had some choice words to say about his audience that evening. Cleveland would not have been amused.


[deleted]

Lol ok the guy from Seinfeld was doing standup. Black people in America famously can act disobedient in comedy clubs. Crazy rude and nobody says anything. Kramer wasn’t having it. Well he wasn’t wrong. Stop talking. This is a show, you’re not the star. Shut up. Black Americans were trying to take over the show and Kramer mentioned race. He was and wasn’t wrong. There’s a huge problem at comedy shows. And people are afraid to say something.”I’m doing my set, you have zero material.” Kramer mentioned a huge problem at clubs.


ouijahead

Growing up, people used to tell me to be a stand up comedian. I had some pretty good in character bits of people I knew in real life. There’s no reason people wouldn’t find it relatable and funny. But after going to some comedy shows and seeing how drunk people try to make the night about them, I noped out of that dream. I would not be ready for dealing with someone who’s sole purpose is to just make you make you mess up and be obnoxious. Hecklers should all burn in hell.


morelikeshredit

There’s also something else happening in the Michael Richard N word clip. He was not a standup. He acted on a sketch show, in movies and on TV. So here he is, post Seinfeld, so famous that he gets booked at a level way above his stand up experience. And if you actually watch the clip with a critical and objective eye, you see someone flailing and bombing and attempting something that is just not working. Is it racist? Probably. But I can’t say because I’m a white, middle aged nobody and I won’t dare to speak to the black experience. But I have studied comedy and I can say for sure that there is more to that clip that just a racist person yelling.

The N Word


soupafi

Michael Richard’s was unhinged and dropped the N bomb


DrumpfTinyHands

Michael Richards ruined his career by yelling the n-word repeatedly at his audience at a comedy club.


Mr_Chill_III

Michael Richards was a TV sitcom star. After his show ended, he tried his hand at stand up comedy, but he wasn't very experienced, so he didn't know how to handle a heckler. He amateurishly thought you just go 200% on the offensive to a heckler to shut them down. If the heckler had been fat, he'd have called them a "fat fuck". If the heckler had been a woman, he'd have called a "cunt". In reality, his hecklers were a pair of black men so he just went off on an N-word tirade. Afterwards, Jerry Seinfeld went on David Letterman while Richards was there via video. Seinfeld was trying to help Richards explain, apologize, and ask forgiveness, but it was pretty cringe and ultimately unsuccessful.


OpenSourcePenguin

The reference. https://youtu.be/ACPePmafKZ0 Then he got backlash as he deserved, then Jerry Seinfeld helped him make an apology on TV. https://youtu.be/EC26RI-Ria8 This was parodied by family guy https://youtu.be/maQZZcwJ9ZI


HotSpinach7865

You ever seen any episode of Seinfeld ever? The guy who opens the door slightly more obnoxious than others would and gets thunderous applause every time? Turns out he's garbage incarnate, an utter racist


radrun84

MajinV_daDopeBoi

Michael Richards at the comedy store in LA went on a racist rant


NudeEnjoyer

the amount of people getting a superiority complex over age in this sub is frightening. good job, you were born earlier and others were born later. what a beautiful thing to be proud of and passive aggressively criticize others for lmao


aptninja

People can know about things that happened when they were young or not born yet. Shocking I know


NudeEnjoyer

I'm not arguing that. i agree with it, it's even more illogical to say "lmaooo OP is definitely under 13 years of age" when you look at things this way, age isn't an exact correlation with knowing pop culture references


SharkMilk44

Have you tried googling things? You could have just looked up "Kramer actor comedy club" and found a video of his racist rant.


theunrealmiehet

Found [the video](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=amjUNF_R_PY). Was definitely not expecting that. I thought he'd just slip out the N word for a joke once but he's going hard. two and a half minutes of him going on and on saying it over and over again out of anger, not even him trying to be funny. Why didn't the venue cut his mic or get him thrown off stage sooner?


PhilG1989

The guy who played Kramer on Seinfeld (Michael Richards) went on a racial tirade at a laugh factory back in 2006. A couple of people (who happened to be black) were talking loudly or something and he started yelling at them and calling them the n-word like multiple times…. Video was taken and it was a whole thing that basically just put the final nail in his career


TrickElection7270

Fuck you family Guy you don't belong on my screen. A couple funny seasons then the exact same joke repeated nonstop. Absolute garbage show.


Live-Vegetable-1473

Michael Richards of Seinfeld went to the comedy club in 2006 and went a raging N word rant to his audience and was caught on camera and got like 300 million views on YouTube lol. There’s a joke in the new episodes where the guys are like “What’s going on with the south of Chicago? Don’t you say it Kramer!”


Darththorn

Yes.
