Jerry Seinfeld did an interview with
The NY Times and they asked him if he had to ever apologize for a joke. He told them, “Jokes are not real. People assume that when you say something that you believe it. It’s purely comedic invention.” Then he added, “You know, I do this whole bit about Pop-Tarts and how much I love them. I don’t love
Pop-Tarts. It’s just funny. It’s funny to say it, so I say it.”
Well, people did not find his Pop-Tarts joke funny, so he had to apologize for his unfunny joke. He wrote, “Just to be clear on the Pop Tarts, I really did love them as a kid. Just not now. But regardless, whatever works for the joke, that’s what I’m going to say. @PopTartsUS.”
Well, the company fought back and said, “I used to like Jerry Seinfeld as a kid. Just not now.” Now that is funny. Seinfeld could learn a thing or two from them.
Let’s be honest, ever since his show ended, he has not been funny. And it is just not about the Pop-Tarts jokes.
