It's... not good though. Which is REALLY striking b/c with that outstanding cast, it becomes really, REALLY noticeable. There should have been almost no way for this to bomb... but it did.

The whole show is just dedicated to loving conservative values - capitalism, shitting on women (ostensively ironically, but...), not paying or caring at all about your workers, or your customer base either, as in literally giving little children cancer and laughing about it (I am not even kidding, that was an actual part of the movie, from both sides), and they even had a whole scene depicting the White House riots, replete with a guy with no shirt and a horned helmet who took an actual dump on the property, and once again I am not kidding but it was violent, with one person falling to be injured after having climbed the wall, and others were climbing up multiple stories high on the outside of the building.

Oh, but now Seinfeld is blaming the "woke crowd" for not appreciating what he offered. As with any incel, the recipients thoughts don't matter ofc, only his intentions, which he claims to be "pure". A quote from the article:

According to Seinfeld himself, Unfrosted is merely an exercise in warm silliness, born from the bleak early days of the COVID-19 pandemic and a very long-gestating stand-up joke about how much joy the treat brought him as a kid.

Yeah, except it's not though. It's exactly like calling someone "sugar tits" while slapping them on the ass, then blaming them for "not getting the joke" - this was Boomerism at its finest, and the only reason I am glad to have seen it is b/c it helps me realize why there may be an actual, literal Civil War upcoming in the next election: b/c there are a LOT of people like him, who flat-out do not care one tiny bit about anyone but their own side.
