Jerry Seinfeld Says The Royal Wedding Is Absurd

Jerry Seinfeld is bring his comedy show to London, England in June 2011.  Jerry was interviewed by a British morning show to promote the show and was asked if he was excited about the upcoming Royal Wedding.  Now Jerry not one to keep his mouth closed decided to give his two cents about the upcoming marriage of Prince William and Kate Middleton.  “Yes, I’m very excited. Well it’s a circus act, it’s an absurd act.”

E! on line further reports:

“You know, it’s dress-up. It’s a classic English thing of let’s play dress-up. Let’s pretend that these are special people. OK, we’ll all pretend that—that’s what theater is. That’s why the British have the greatest theater in the world. They love to dress up and they love to play pretend.

“And that’s what the royal family is—it’s a huge game of pretend. These aren’t special people—it’s fake outfits, fake phony hats and gowns.”

WOW sounds like sour grapes to me and it certainly is not going to make him very popular with the Brits.  I guess Jerry Seinfield and his wife did not get an invite to the Royal Wedding!  Don’t be upset Jerry neither did we :-)

    It might make him popular with the many Brits who are not Royalists. There are many of us about you know. — Although probably not, while the sentiment does resonate somewhat, he is still who he is and not someone everyone finds funny.
    No one I know is interested in the wedding, and are planning to do anything but watching it!

      Fair enough – but I still think his comments are inappropriate! R

        It’s midnight here, so forgive me if I do not make sense. — It’s currently the ‘thing’ to ask guests on chat shows about the wedding, not just American guests. So he was not singled out. — You are correct he could have answered the question far better. I more disagreed with all Brits disliking him for the comments, than the take on the actual comments (sorry). — Although I’d say going on about fake clothing just makes him seem a fool. — An ‘I’ve no interest but hope they’ll be happy’, would have been a polite answer to the question. — Going on and on was inappropriate. The sentiment was fine, but yes his delivery was rude and somewhat nonsensical. — For those who are interested in the wedding, I hope they enjoy the coverage and allow those who are not to avoid it. :)

          Well said! Exactly he could have said something polite and non-committal. Whether you agree with the wedding or not if you are performing in a country one should have the decency to show respect for their traditions and not ridicule them. Just saying…..

          I have to admit being Canadian I will tune in to watch (blush) I have been to London and I find all the traditions so nice. When you live somewhere when the oldest thing is maybe 200 years old and they are constantly knocking down old buildings to put condos you appreciate Europe

          Having said that, perhaps if I lived in London I would feel differently about the Royal Wedding. They are spending a lot of money on it and I am sure many of the locals are not happy about it.
