I had posted this as a response to a recent (at the time) news article about Jerry Seinfeld visiting Epstein Island. The post was immediately removed by the admin, citing the no politics rule. Which I thought was a bit ridiculous, as it's news if anything, not politics. But you can argue that anything is politics, so I didn't feel like fighting it. I did make this altered version, which technically fit the rules that stated "no politics outside of what is mentioned in the show" because I blocked out words so that all that was left was actual dialog from the episode. But I didn't end up posting it at all. Not sure if this joke makes much sense now considering it's no longer a timely reference.

I knew someone was gonna come at me as soon as I typed that. I think it should be pretty fucking obvious that I was referring to his a public persona as an entertainer, how he was viewed in the 90s monoculture I was referencing.

Do you really imagine I'm trying trying to say that he was inoffensive as a human being?

    He was playing basically himself as a character right down to the same name so it’s hard to separate the two when the creators didn’t want you to.
