Seinfeld I thought had a lot of clever and funny parts. Even though I like Jerry less and less as the years go on, there were so many great supporting characters.
Friends though, any time that show is playing I feel like intelligence is being sucked from my brain. And not in a “so stupid it’s funny” way, it’s just empty and stupid.
What made Seinfeld funny was the situations they set up, like the one where Jerry and George pretend to be the people listed on the sign held up by a limo driver in order to get a free ride home from the airport, only to discover that the people they’re impersonating are white supremacists on their way to speak at a rally at Madison Square Garden (for good measure, Kramer and Elaine are at MSG to protest the white supremacists). But watching Curb Your Enthusiasm all these years has made it clear that it was really Larry David that was creating these situations, and his show does it a lot better.
The other thing that made Seinfeld funny was the copious amounts of weed I was smoking at the time. These days, it just isn’t really that funny, and the soundtrack (I meant laugh track – the soundtrack with the funky bass line was great) just makes it worse. There was never anything funny about Friends. I watched it because I was in love with Courtney Cox.
Friends: a celebration of hedonism and shallowness.
Seinfeld: basically the same.
