Great

Knew it!!!! 😂

✊😠
I’m 73, and to me, Jerry Seinfeld is a gift to humanity. I watched his speech and thought it was fresh and funny and didn’t know some students had walked out until several hours later. It’s too bad.
So were washing machines
@@benda18Yes. Well done.
craziest thing is these kids actually think they are modern-day heroes of social justice🤡😂
They think Islam is their friend 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
The students who walked out aren't going to survive the real world.
lol yes because your CZcams degree fares better than a duke degree.
@@JL-mk7fsthey won’t get jobs they will be doxed and blacklisted hahaha sucks for you
@@JL-mk7fs Duke isn't looking to great these days with all the antisemitism.
@TrendyStone What does your evil antisemitism has to do with their talent. YOU CAN'T FORCE PEOPLE TO ACCEPT YOUR GENOCIDE AGAINST A RACE OF PEOPLE. YOU HAVE BECOME THE EVIL PEOPLE YOU FOUGHT AGAINST.
@@TrendyStoneWeaponizing antisemitism to blunt the force of American Citizens freely exercising their rights is low, even for you. These students are the hope of future leadership, however those vengeful bribers arrayed against them may apply their wrongdoings.
Only 40 left out of thousands-hope they kept walking to Palestine 😂😂😂
I was there. That protest did nothing. People chanted Jerry as if he was Jerry Springer.
Jerry Springer 😂😂😂 Yea I heard that
No single protest ever achieved anything. It is about sustained protesting and organizing (like these students are doing).
@@dirkgently31 it’s so organized all 40 of them sent a message that they are losers. No one cared. I don’t care what the protest is about. There are problems at home.
I heard the protestors got ice cream later that week.
To each their own. He came here to encourage to new graduates.
Jerry was just there to look for a new girlfriend.
Yeah everyone knows
😂😂😂😂😂
Don't let Hamas take over the US!
Nah. He prefers them much younger. Maybe the local kindergarten graduation.
Hater
What's the deal with protests? You spend all this time going to school, only to protest your own graduation.
::laugh track:: 😂
It's so good. It sounds like something he would say.
Well, people have principles and values.
@@mei6044 They're just making a parody of what it would sound like if it was Seinfeld.
@@mei6044 get a sense of humor.
What’s the deal w freedom of speech? Why was the constitution even created? Why are college educated people critical of their government and how they spend our tax dollars? What’s the point of criticizing authority? 🤡
The real news here is 99% stayed & the 1% that are childish Hamass supporters left. No big deal.
visionaries are few...brave are few. brain d ead sheep are many
You understand not all palestinians are hamas right? Like the babies being killed??
My thought
The most ignorant comment of all time. I bet you only have a GED.
@@mydadsacop123 Yes but they literally support Hamas. Also civilian casualty rate for the war in Israel is lower than any other war in recent history.
So they didn’t reject what he said, but who he was because what he believes. Says more about them than him.
Yes exactly. He’s pro genocide. What it says about the students is that they have morals and they understand free speech and chose to exercise it.
@@cgm2086 It's exactly the opposite. Gaza has been campaigning for israel's genocide from the beginning.
Good , I worked for him during an event in NYC ...first thing he said is he didn't want anyone speaking to him , he said he had an assistant for that 🤢🤮
Just another limousine liberal getting sandbagged by his own kind
Makes sense. 109 people. All asking him crap while he is working. I’m sure. He gets asked 300 times a day can u get me a part
I wouldn't want to talk to you either.
Only 25 people walked out during his speech. Dude still has clout. People love Jerry.
I mean, he's probably one of the most recognizable people on the planet, let alone NYC. Of course he doesn't want EVERYONE trying to talk to him, because everyone probably wants to, at a minimum, tell him "big fan, loved Seinfeld." Imagine hearing that & likely more hundreds of times a day & feeling obligated to respond "thanks" everytime.
The Dean said to him "careful" meant be careful what you say because it's a hot mic.
And then he proceeds to say a bang-up job.
Once again, it's not about the land. It's all about the hate.
It's about both
It’s about power drunk ambition wanting to take a turn as super flex
@NBC, get it together, 24 walked out while the remaining 1500 stayed
They all should have walked out. He is a not funny Zionist
No way that was 24

@@GraniteInTheFaceYou dare believe your eyes? That's antisemitic bro.
All NBC said was "students walked out".
These kids will be working at Starbucks soon with a ton of student debt
Their loss. They missed sorely needed advice. All of their misplaced ire is sad.
They dont want or need to hear from someone that supports something theyre against, it was tone deaf to have him there and expect everyone to be ok with it
@@mydadsacop123 99% of the crowd were literally fine with Jerry's speech. Only the pearl-clutching sjw puritans had issues.
@@mydadsacop123They needed a tune up. He is exactly what they needed to hear.
@@kim5599 its their graduation and if they dont want to hear a speech from someone thats supporting a genocide currently (while historically being against the holocaust) they shouldnt have to
@@mydadsacop123 I never said they had to stay, I said they should have.
It is crazy out there. He's right.
This should’ve been in curb your enthusiasms last season
Let the losers leave.
Jerry’s speech was very well done
The ones that stayed are the ones that will be successful, the ones that left…. Future Dishwashers, future McDonald’s employees, future Walmart cart collectors. 🤷♂️
Imagine chanting someone’s name like that who doesn’t even know or care about your existence in this life. Thats sad.
That's literally what every celebrity is, like going to a concert. They don't know everyone in the crowd and never will and yet people enjoy what they produced anyway. It's the love for the work that then translates to the admiration of the person who created or is the face of that.
How could he possibly know our names?
This comment, wow.
Imagine voting for someone who would do the same.
@@regzzuse280
Nobody said he will remember names
Wow
@@youtold7727
The person above, wow.
Walking out of your own graduation seems a bit like shooting yourself in the foot..
It was Pro Hamas supporters that walked out! It was Pro Right to Protect Yourself supporters that stayed!
It was Those who got paid that left! It was Those for the right to live, that stayed!
It was pro Palestine and dignity for human lives that left. Those with a kind and brave spirit to not sit by and listen to the speech of someone who supports innocent children, women, and men being slaughtered as we speak, and driven from their homes so someone else can claim it as theirs. that also left. And those who stayed are simply those who are ignorant of the truth,or have no humanity. Free Palestine! 🇵🇸🇵🇸🇵🇸🇵🇸
As is their right as Americans.
Don't let Hamas take over the US!
No
You are supposed to deserve rights.
These are not Americans.
@@andrewandrew4970 "Anyone who doesn't agree with me doesn't deserve rights". Not a very American ideaology.
@@gosmicable4409 if you looked back at american history, its actually an extremely american ideology
He used to be ok. Now he's a joke. After he donated money to abuse children, I lost respect
No one cares bot
Like your respect means anything. What a joke.
What's the deal protests? You leave to protest, you stay to protest. You'd think thered be a pretest so they know what's going on on the big protest.
😂😂😂
I thought Jerry said he would never do college campuses
Looks like he should have listened to his own advice
His daughter graduated from Duke and his son is attending Duke now
This is a commencement speech, not a standup routine.
AIPAC told him no
only high school😉
Let’s be honest George Castanza was always the star
George the star? That's lewd, lascivious, salacious, and outrageous!
Costanzo use spellçheck. Didn't you graduate?😊
@@ber-js5weJackie? Is that you?
Nah... Kramer.
Kramer was always the star
Why did they walk out???
Because he isn’t “woke.”
Because he's Jewish. Antisemitism has infected US universities.
Because they are idiots
Cause he’s Jewish and the people walking out are Palestinians
Because Jerry Seinfeld is Jewish
He dated a girl under 18 in his late 30s
So, my cousin was 14 when she married a 38 year old.
@@takemyjobpleeez Didn’t you date a horse?
@@takemyjobpleeez That's illegal
Great comedian a great man! Don't let Hamas take over the US!
Political correctness is killing this world
Larry David would have been the best choice. 😂
John Larroquette
祝福教授老師学生長輩們.平安健康.謝謝.
And why didnthis happen? Havent seen a single mention of that yet.
He looks so ridiculous
You friends bought Hamas headwraps on Amazon tho..
@@andrewandrew4970 because he looks dumb?
@@andrewandrew4970 deep
Hahaha you’re jealous of him wow that’s sad
@@IndianaJake oh yes definitely 👍
They're self segregating.
😈 Excellent
Too bad for them. That was an awesome commencement speech! I listened to it in its entirety.
Lol. It would be a perfect episode that ends with Jerry yelling "I said so many dumb things! Which one are you walking out for?!"
Platforming child predators is never good
An absolute legend. Thank you for showing how awesome this man truly is.
Are you being satirical??? 😂😂😂
@@loriannrichardson7644 lol genuinely a fan.
@@loriannrichardson7644are you being self-righteous 😂😂😂
What is the deal... with Duke students !?
I'm speechless, the hypocrisy.
High degree….. ? meanwhile taking orders at a fast food restaurant, mama and daddy paying rent!
The highschoolers were afraid he would date them 😂😂😂
These kids really hate pop tarts
Revoke their diplomas.. apparently they haven’t learned anything about tolerance and equality. Nor respect and the value of exchanging different perspectives.
I’d recommend they start over at preschool and work up through kindergarten to reapply at university after 12 grades.
Love Jerry Seinfeld! What an honor!!
I don’t get it what’s the protest about
A bad look for Duke.
“What’s the deal with GENOCIDE ? “
DID JERRY'S GIRLFRIEND FROM THE 90S FINALLY GRADUATE HIGH SCHOOL
The very people who needed to hear his speech got up and walked out...
GOD BLESS ISRAEL
They’re so sick with wokeitis. Let them leave and quarantine themselves.
No diploma for those who walked out
He didn't say anything remotely outrageous. He is not at all a racist either. He was never a racist.
But he is Jewish, which is probably enough for a few pro Palestinian activists to get up and walk out.
Who is calling him a racist?
The problem is very different: he is Jewish.
Kramer was. Big time.
He is a zionist. Take a look at their racist crap in the Talmud. You and I are viewed as dogs to them. Literally.
Good deal, let the losers walk out.
And you have a degree in….
@@amandac5307and you have a degree in……
@@amandac5307why would that matter, or do you believe someone’s economic class should determine whether they are allowed to have an opinion? Spare us your self righteousness
80% stayed....the losers left
Probably not all their brains, Jerry.
Thirty people walk out seven thousand's stayed. Message there.
Aw old Seinfeld got that old man wisdom
These fellow Americans needs to stop protesting for something that had nothing to do with us.
Our money is going to the war 😮so have everything to do with us 🧐 we have too many problems at home 🇺🇸 and we need to put our home 🏡 in order first, we can help others countries but this is a masacre to humanity and God is taking note 😠 this is very wrong 😡.
@@odrisrosario2465 I honestly didn't know that part. My bad.
They thought that "... a bang-up job" was something TOTALLY different.
Never figured why a comedian from the 90's was a thing, or because a person had billions...
Walking out? Turn in your diplomas then.
Why did they walk out? 24
Students?
Obviously never saw Seinfeld.
Jerry may be giving a lot of those students more compliments than they deserve.
Cool he wasn't that funny to begin with and that sounded condescending.
And what's the deal with skiendhui? It doesn't ski, end, or hui. I don't get it.
30 people got up and protested out of over 1000. They would've protested for Palestine no matter who was speaking so this is a nothing burger. Besides, Jerry got famous because of his comedy so while you may not think he's funny, you're objectively wrong that his comedy isn't funny to a much larger crowd.
His stand up was NEVER funny. He got Larry David's attention and David wrote Seinfeld. Jerry never would have had the status he's had without a real talent backing him. Now he complains because no one likes his show anymore. No one liked him before Seinfeld.
Very condescending and empty. Jason Alexander, however, is an exceptional public speaker. He is so incredibly wise, articulate, and compassionate. You can tell he really cares about pouring into the next generation. Dude had me in tears after a few sentences. People are hungry for kindness and hope. Jerry is an a**hole.
@@TheEngineerJason
I think it has to do with him being Jewish
What was he famous for exactly?
Payoff these people debt, are you kidding me? FJB4life
So now Duke is giving honorary degrees to groomers? He groomed a 17 year old when he was 38.
Sure he did bot
Is that true ?
Seinfeld has always been mediocre...he got lucky.
Who cares. These kids probably don't even know who he is.
Guess u missed the first part where I said who cares.
Don’t be mean
@@MrThatGuyYouForgot I know understanding things isn't this generation's strong suit.
@@vanbrown8409Wow, you're fun to be with.
oh we know who he is. your generation shoved his unfunny stand up, and his show where he was the worst character down our throats non stop
The way there is no context is funny
He supports the Palestinian massacre.
What did he do?
I just hope they know why theyre walking out.
That man is the biggest Fibber their ever was, he's second place compared to Trump and Elon 😂
Crowd would have popped if he did the " what is up with that" line.
I guess they'd rather have the radical liberal HAMAS protests.
And why is he there speaking?
Lol...new job, new career , new life! First interview question.." how have you handled a difficult situation in the past?"
Sounds more like a speech given at an 8th grade promotion 😂
What was That? A couple people going to the bathroom? Most seeming to chant his name? Talk about a stretch!😂
Jerry's free Palestine
What’s the deal with airline food
I think you mean airplane penus
Um ,,, peanuts
Airline peanuts
All that college and they still didn't grow up.
So are they just being openly racist towards any Jewish person or did he actually say something specific?
Nope. The ppl calling everybody else racist for the last 4 years are being openly racist now.
He's been taking stances about modern comedy being too sensitive and you can't joke about things, but there are plenty of modern examples to show that isn't the case. It's about context and delivery of that topic. You do that right, and you can poke fun without coming across as offensive.
He's been funding violent Zionist counterprotests at UCLA and generally been incredibly aggressive towards the pro-Palestine protesters.
Actually upon further research it would seem these specific students are walking out to protest the Israeli Palestine conflict. I'm now wondering if they just happened to be walking out as Jerry is giving the speech, not that they are walking out because of Jerry.
He was cosplaying with the IDF holding machine guns and posing with tanks. It's also his public "Israel Can No Wrong" statements. He's not the most vocal Zionist celeb but perhaps the most known. The ones that walked out 99% chance they were part of the BDS college movement. It's not personal nor racist. Just political.
Why is he repeating such a message like this, like a crank is being turned, to get out the same old empty words? Is he mimicking someone they know? Something is missing here. We weren't there, to put this excerpt into perspective.
Anyone else having late 90s Springer flashbacks with the chanting?
Ugh.... my age is showing.
Wouldn't have walked out on Larry David. Just sayin.
Why is everyone staring at us? Oh no we must look like freaks to them.
Get over your self.
@@Booklook111 you clearly don’t get the song reference 😂
@@Booklook111 also you liked your own comment 🤣🤣🤣
@@imsupercereal You clearly need professional help.
@@Booklook111 loool it’s literally from a MF Doom song don’t get so mad about it my god 😂 you need professional help getting this mad over a CZcams comment
Jerry Seinfeld will likely go down in
history as Chevy Chase.
Context?
I assume he said something in support of Israel?
@@AG-kb7ybnope. Just a known Jewish star and they are being anti semitic. He went to Israel to see all of the massacred kibbutzim and meet with the families of hostages. Don’t know how that’s controversial. These kids are crazy.
@@AG-kb7ybNah, they just hate Jews.
People being too sensitive they can't tolerate even being one moment with someone that they disagree with
Yep. He supports the Palestinian genocide. I would like to hope people that do are just clueless, but that's probably not the case.
They lost a great speech
He didn't even go to Duke.
What did he say they didn’t like
