Good special. There was a mix of stuff I've seen before but also some new material (or at least material that I haven't seen/heard). I liked the fact that it was mostly stand up but also a career retrospective.

It's kind of an updated I'm Telling You for the Last Time. Some of the bits get updated (i.e. adding Uber). I thought it was pretty good and it's a decent retrospective on his work.

While I love Seinfeld, I really don't find his stand-up material funny AT ALL. Not even a chuckle funny. I turned it off midway through.

Watched the first 15 minutes or so last night and found it pretty good. I've long thought Jerry can be pretty funny, but I've always found the TV show to be tedious and unfunny (aside from a few isolated set-pieces that are actually brilliant - like Kramer putting the talk show set in his apartment and interviewing people).

re: Jerry Seinfeld - The Netflix Stand Up Specials Thread

While I'm a big fan of Jerry Seinfeld, I do wonder if his humor connects with Millenials? I sort of equate it to me and how I viewed older standup Comics like David Brenner and Robert Klein when I was growing up with Eddie Murphy, Dice and Sam Kinison (They just seemed more cool and edgy). I do have to say Seinfeld has gotten alittle 'get off my lawn-ish' lately and that is why I don't think younger people would get his act.

We watched this last night, I enjoyed it. Some of the jokes were repeats, but some new to me. I thought the retrospective was done pretty well.

Jerry Seinfeld will debut a new stand-up special May 5 on Netflix, the streamer announced Friday.

Entitled “Jerry Seinfeld: 23 Hours to Kill,” the new hour-long event sees the renowned comedian returning to the Beacon Theatre in New York City to deliver more sharp takes on everyday life.

Surprised no one has commented on the new special yet (I haven't seen it yet either). Figured there would be some feedback by now

Watched the new one last night, I thought it was good .. not the greatest ever, but had some incredibly funny moments and overall was good. I think only 1 or 2 jokes fell totally flat for me

I just found out about it yesterday and watched it last night. It wasn't amazing but I thought it was pretty funny and had some really good bits. But then again, I'd probably watch Jerry reading the phone book, I've always been a big fan.

My girlfriend and I watched the new special last night. I found it pretty great. Some bits I’ve seen him do (I’ve seen him live three times), but there seemed to be quite a bit of new material. He’s looking pretty good for being sixty-five.

I went to one of the Beacon shows so haven’t rushed to watch because I assume it’s same material I’ve already seen.
