napoleon Posted November 14, 2007 Share Posted November 14, 2007 this is a week old, but i still felt like it needed to be posted. seinfeld is pretty much the only reason i watch tv, and i love jerry... but jesus, his ego is just ridiculous. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Lammycat Posted November 14, 2007 Share Posted November 14, 2007 Pretty funny, actually. Larry King is notorious for not doing any research for interviews and being clueless. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Wendy Posted November 14, 2007 Share Posted November 14, 2007 It was certainly a bonehead comment. Seinfeld seemed quite stunned by it and I don't blame him for ribbing King as he did. I didn't read it as overtly egotistical. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Analogman Posted November 14, 2007 Share Posted November 14, 2007 Almost as good as the one where he asks Elizabeth Taylor is she is alive or dead - or something to that effect. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
aricandover Posted November 14, 2007 Share Posted November 14, 2007 Almost as good as the one where he asks Elizabeth Taylor is she is alive or dead - or something to that effect. or the time he was interviewing the remaining Beatles, and called Ringo Starr, "George".

caliber66 Posted November 15, 2007 Share Posted November 15, 2007 Seemed to me like Jerry was just giving him some (mostly?) good-natured shit. He didn't really seem pissed, and Larry certainly didn't seem to be taking it that way... Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Reni Posted November 15, 2007 Share Posted November 15, 2007 one of my psych professors was analyzing this interaction in class......it's fun to watch on that level. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

tugmoose Posted November 15, 2007 Share Posted November 15, 2007 Jer was trying for funny, but came off as pompous and insecure. Which was pretty funny. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I agree. I'm a big Seinfeld fan, and love Jerry, but the last few interviews I've watched have been painful. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Mrs. Peel Posted November 15, 2007 Share Posted November 15, 2007 I refuse to go see his Bee Movie because he and it has been shoved down my throat for months. There was even a preview for it when I saw Nightmare Before Christmas 3-D, which is put out by Disney, direct competitor of DreamWorks. I thought I'd at least be spared that night.

Sir Stewart Posted November 15, 2007 Share Posted November 15, 2007 I refuse to go see his Bee Movie because it looks goddamned awful. Not as bad as Shrek or Madagascar or Surf's Up, but still - awful. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Lammycat Posted November 15, 2007 Share Posted November 15, 2007 I refuse to go see his Bee Movie because it looks goddamned awful. Not as bad as Shrek or Madagascar or Surf's Up, but still - awful.I've heard/read nothing but good things about the movie. My 7 yr. old went with a buddy and hid buddy's mom to see it 2 weeks ago and she said that most of the jokes flew over the kids' heads but that she thought it was a good movie. Assuming Seinfeld is an egomaniac and was genuinely offended by King's numbskullery, is it really surprising to anyone? He had 75 MILLION VIEWERS, LARRY! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
DAngerer09 Posted November 15, 2007 Share Posted November 15, 2007 Bee Movie was terrific! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Mrs. Peel Posted November 15, 2007 Share Posted November 15, 2007 I don't care! I'll wait until I can see it on TV for free...I'm not giving that man a cent! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
ction Posted November 15, 2007 Share Posted November 15, 2007 I refuse to go see his Bee Movie because it looks goddamned awful. Not as bad as Shrek or Madagascar or Surf's Up, but still - awful. My kids want to see Surf's Up...I might rent it for them this weekend. Madagascar was AWESOME, you stick in the scrooge. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Gobias Industries Posted November 15, 2007 Share Posted November 15, 2007 Larry King is a numbnut, Seinfeld just gave him what was coming to him...eventually. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Sir Stewart Posted November 15, 2007 Share Posted November 15, 2007 When I say the films look awful, I mean literally. I can't get past that shitty animation - Bee Movie looks better than that other Dreamworks shit, but not much. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Mr. Kinsley Posted November 15, 2007 Share Posted November 15, 2007 One or two quick jabs at Larry would have been fine, but his ego did rather get in the way. Is Larry retiring soon or is he getting 'cancelled?' Quote Link to post Share on other sites
