Jerry Seinfeld doesn't think some of his old jokes would fly in today's world.
杰瑞·宋飞认为他的一些老笑话在今天的世界不会流行。
The Seinfeld alum, 70, got candid about how the current political climate has staunched the creative process for many comedians in television. The actor told The New Yorker that he doesn't believe he would be able to crack the same jokes that made his iconic NBC comedy famous today.
这位70岁的《宋飞正传》演员坦率地谈到，当前的政治气候如何启动了许多电视喜剧演员的创作过程。这位演员告诉《纽约客》，他不相信自己能讲出同样的笑话，这些笑话使他的标志性NBC喜剧在今天闻名。
"Nothing really affects comedy. People always need it. They need it so badly and they don’t get it," Seinfeld said, explaining that "most people" would go home at the end of the day to watch comedy on television. "You just expected, There’ll be some funny stuff we can watch on TV tonight. Well, guess what — where is it? This is the result of the extreme left and P.C. crap, and people worrying so much about offending other people."
“没有什么能真正影响喜剧。人们总是需要它。他们太需要了，却得不到。”他解释说，“大多数人”会在一天结束后回家看电视上的喜剧。“你只是期望，今晚我们可以在电视上看一些有趣的东西。你猜怎么着，它在哪儿?这是极左和政正胡说八道的结果，也是人们太担心冒犯别人的结果。”
Seinfeld said that the public has now flocked to standup comics "because we are not policed by anyone."
宋飞说，现在公众都涌向单口相声，“因为我们不受任何人的监管。”
"The audience polices us," he added. "We know when we’re off track. We know instantly and we adjust to it instantly. But when you write a script and it goes into four or five different hands, committees, groups— 'Here’s our thought about this joke.' Well, that’s the end of your comedy."
“观众监督着我们，”他补充说。“我们知道什么时候我们偏离了轨道。我们马上就知道了，我们马上就适应了。但是当你写了一个剧本，它会被四到五个不同的人、委员会、小组所掌握——‘这是我们对这个笑话的想法。’好了，你的喜剧到此结束。”
When asked if he believed the same applied to his Seinfeld co-creator Larry David and his HBO series Curb Your Enthusiasm, he claimed that "Larry was grandfathered in."
当被问及他是否认为同样的情况也适用于《宋飞正传》的联合创作者拉里·大卫和他的HBO电视剧《抑制你的热情》时，他声称“拉里是祖父式的”。
