Kramer Loses His Mind

Umm…what the fuck?

http://www.defamer.com/hollywood/michael-richards/kramers-new-racist-material-not-exactly-a-hit-at-the-laugh-factory-216093.php

I’ll be honest: I couldn’t even watch the whole thing. My head turtled into my shoulders 30 seconds in.

Kra-zy (as my brother has already named him) has been banned from the club for life…but here’s the question:

Can he be forgiven? Was what he did worse that Mel Gibson? Not as bad?

What does everyone think about this?

I’d seen interviews where he kind of came off as a prick, but that was just ridiculous, i’m all for freedom of speech, but when you use that freedom for no other reason to insult somebody, to try to take them down a peg, then you don’t really have a reason to be speaking at all.

Any bit of career that he had left is gone, he should just go live off his seinfeld money, because nobody is going to want to hear anything he has to say now.

i really love seinfeld, but that was out of control. he shouldnta done that.

I wonder if he writes his own material or does he out-source that job to the KKK?

crazy…

  He was a prick when he came to Oz, he should have been put on his arse like Borat was.

I never really got Sienfeld and only laughed at a few episodes, so I’m not really a fan anyway. I did think he was great in UHF, though.

To me he just came off as someone who couldn’t handle a little heckling. That should end his stand up career. That’s part of being a comic, you need to be able to respond to a heckler and keep control of the show. He lost control of his act and couldn’t regain it without slinging insults. He doesn’t deserve another shot at comedy as far as I’m concerned.

Has he ever done stand up before? I’ve never seen or heard of him doing it.

I’m surprised he wasn’t. That guy certainly was of good character to not choke him.

I think Bill Hicks did a much better job tearing into the hecklers.

Waitaminute, waitaminute. You “got” UHF but you didn’t get Seinfeld?! You sir, get the “WTF?!?! of the Week” award.


Richards has long been a dick. Known to explode at anyone asking for an autograph.

Watched the clip after my last post. Wow! Harsh. Not sure where he was going with that.

That ruled. The way he said it could almost stop your heart. His “Fuck you!” was very nicely done, full of righteous anger.

I never did like Seinfeld. The humor was always lame and based on some ordinary act in life that they would then blow up into a full hour show. My guess is, there will be many more who drop it from their list of “greatest shows” after this one.

go kramer!

I just watched it again that was so pain full

I’ve heard about this from a co-worker and I assumed people missed his point and that he was going to turn it into a clever joke at the end.

But 30 seconds into it, I realized I assumed wrong. Even if he doesn’t feel that way about black people in general, that was the first card he played when he encounters a problem.

Worst case scenario, he is a hateful raciest. Best case, he is really bad comedian.

Either why, this should haunt him. His thoughts and his professional bookings.

Jesus that was painful to watch…what a poor poor fool.

borat is halarious, kramer is an idiot.

Wow…

It’s one of those things where you’re watching it for the first time, not as an audience member but after the fact, when all the emotion, confusion, and general “what the fuck is going on here?” mentality has left the room, and you can just SEE how much of a ridiculously embarassing douche the guy comes off as, and it makes it incredibly painful to watch.

Ouch.

Anyone know when he did this?
