Microsoft To Announce Jerry Seinfeld Ads Cancelled

Posted by samzenpus on from the put-it-to-bed dept.

An anonymous reader writes "Valleywag says the Jerry Seinfeld ads are over — In a phone call, Frank Shaw confirms that Microsoft is not going on with Seinfeld, and echoes his underlings' spin that the move was planned. There is the 'potential to do other things' with Seinfeld, which Shaw says is still 'possible.' He adds: 'People would have been happier if everyone loved the ads, but this was not unexpected.'"

    What's funny (pun intended) is that the people who didn't think Seinfeld was funny attribute it to the show itself instead of their own lack of a sense of humor. The fact that they don't "get it" sort of solidifies it.

    And that specifically is why Seinfeld isn't funny. He's funny if you are a complete moron. Otherwise, his "observations" are all things that are trivially explained if you have half a clue.

    Apparently, most of America doesn't.
