Julia Louis-Dreyfus and Jerry Seinfeld Engage in Debate Over Political Correctness in Modern Comedy: “It’s a Red Flag,” Says Louis-Dreyfus
A recent debate has sparked conversations about comedy and political correctness. It all began when former co-stars Julia Louis-Dreyfus and Jerry Seinfeld shared their differing views, giving us insight into the changing landscape of humor.
Seinfeld believes comedy isn’t as good as it once was because people are too worried about being politically correct. He reminisced about the old sitcoms like Cheers and The Mary Tyler Moore Show, where pushing boundaries was more common.
Louis-Dreyfus, however, thinks it’s crucial to consider others’ feelings. She believes comedy can still be funny without causing harm.
“When I hear people starting to complain about political correctness… to me, that’s a red flag,” she remarked in a recent interview.
Furthermore, she expressed concerns about the increasing control of big companies in the entertainment industry.
“The true threat to art and the creation of art… is the consolidation of money and power,” she emphasized, urging for more diversity and creative freedom.
