        Well, Jerry Seinfeld was one lucky guy. Where would he be without Larry David?

        Probably better off than Larry without Jerry.

        Indeed! Great show. But my point is if the two had never come together, I doubt Larry would have achieved what Jerry would have if they'd been on their own.

        Totally agree. In the end, they were BOTH very lucky. No one ever accomplishes anything alone.

        Jokes are jokes, children and sexual lewd comments together are not funny! It takes a sick mind to put the two in the same sentence together, and a worse to say it's a typical day at work for comments like these.

        insult humor is quackery. it's a snake oil. it isn't funny - it's a shortcut and it's an offensive one to anyone with a brain. Don Rickles wasn't funny - he was an asshole. Frankly I'm pretty tired of hack comedians trying to tell me what's funny.

        Are you sitting down? Humor is subjective.
