I think Stephen only brought the NMH quote up because of how he interpreted Seinfeld's mundane comedy. He assumed the "show about nothing" is a critique on the absurdity of existence itself. It turns out Jerry just is hunting for the lowest hanging fruit, not making a meta commentary on the very nature of the mundane (protip: history has shown it was Larry who was the deeper of the two show runners who brought that level to the humor).

@@playasadonejoef you’re actually interested, in the lyrics for the cd/lp, when it gets to that line he actually explains at great length what he’s talking about. It’s not religious, so much as him using “Jesus Christ” within the theme of the album to be an analogy for kinda everything that exists. It’s a really long explanation, and I’m not doing it justice, but I’m an atheist now and was when this album came out, so I was skeptical too. But my much less open minded hard liner 18 year old self was satiated by his explanation.🤷🏻♂️ As were a lot of diy hipsters (it was 1998 when it came out I think) who would want nothing to do with overtly Christian music. Hell. I remember the guitarist for Botch was into it. In the diy scene that album was a big deal.

I understand Jerry's reaction lol.

There's this reflex toward embarassment if you're on the receiving end that's hard to explain, and you can end up grasping for levity even if it hurts the other person. It has a chilling effect on you, but it also makes you stronger. It's like death lol.

Turns our Jerry is a decent interviewer, at least.

I was hating on Seinfeld for awhile after seeing this (and I've seen him live and love Seinfeld), but the comments changed my mind. He's human. He's on camera.

Stephen is me, Jerry is every one of my friends I didn't meet online.
Jerry deals with the mundane. He can't handle the profound. "How strange it is to be anything at all" is lost on him. He can do 20 minutes on how shoes are weird. It does kill, though.

I think Stephen only brought the NMH quote up because of how he interpreted Seinfeld's mundane comedy. He assumed the "show about nothing" is a critique on the absurdity of existence itself. It turns out Jerry just is hunting for the lowest hanging fruit, not making a meta commentary on the very nature of the mundane (protip: history has shown it was Larry who was the deeper of the two show runners who brought that level to the humor).

@@playasadonejoef you’re actually interested, in the lyrics for the cd/lp, when it gets to that line he actually explains at great length what he’s talking about. It’s not religious, so much as him using “Jesus Christ” within the theme of the album to be an analogy for kinda everything that exists. It’s a really long explanation, and I’m not doing it justice, but I’m an atheist now and was when this album came out, so I was skeptical too. But my much less open minded hard liner 18 year old self was satiated by his explanation.🤷🏻♂️ As were a lot of diy hipsters (it was 1998 when it came out I think) who would want nothing to do with overtly Christian music. Hell. I remember the guitarist for Botch was into it. In the diy scene that album was a big deal.

I understand Jerry's reaction lol. I do, I've been laughed at like that and learned something from it: you have to be very humble about how people will receive precious things, even if it seems like the right time for it. There's this reflex toward embarassment if you're on the receiving end that's hard to explain, and you can end up grasping for levity even if it hurts the other person. It has a chilling effect on you, but it also makes you stronger. It's like death lol.

Larry David was always the one who did the reflection. Jerry just was the face saying "what's the deal?"

Turns our Jerry is a decent interviewer, at least.

I love Stephen Colbert now
I saw this a long time ago, but made my mama listen to Oh comely and IAOTS and reminded me of this video. She's loves Colbert so I showed her this. I've liked SC since Strangers with Candy. Didn't think I could like him more. I was wrong. As a Tolkien fanatic he is one amazing guy. I was hating on Seinfeld for awhile after seeing this (and I've seen him live and love Seinfeld), but the comments changed my mind. He's human. He's on camera. This stuff isn't something to drop on someone in this situation. If I was expected to perform when someone laid NMH on me I may have done the same. Later regretted it. I'm giving you a pass Seinfeld.

Colbert embodies exactly how it feels when you're seriously trying to show someone something truly beautiful, incredible and poetic and they aren't even paying attention. "You put your heart on a platter and all they do is laugh at you and all you can say nevermind dammit I knew I shouldn't have even tried to give you a chance and now I feel like the dumb one!" (an excerpt from Diary of a Wimpy Kid: My Unbelievable Emo Summer XOXO)

Colbert is basically me at my freshman year in college and Jerry is how I am now. Maybe at some point I might go back to that former self. What I am saying is that these two personas can exist in everyone at different phases and different moods. So don’t be judgemental to either. People have various ways to keep that inner child and innocence alive.

Colbert sees humor as an expression Seinfeld sees humor as an institution
I came here because of the title and I know Stephen is a big fan of NMH, now I'm leaving disappointed of Jerry.
I love both these men and I can’t stand how poetic Stephen sometimes goes off to be. Of course, I’d pretend to care and listen if I were there, but the fact thag Jerry doesn’t give a fuck and does this - I not only laughed out loud when I first saw him but respected him so much more.
it being ridiculous doesn't make it any less precious
To be fair on Jerry, it’s most impactful when sung. After all, music expresses more than what is spoken.
