staring at the breasts of a 15 year old girl????


season 4, episode 15 'the shoes', Jerry pervs at a 15 year old girl's cleavage and pokes George, who gets caught. 'get a good look'? he is asked.

Please explain how this was ever appropriate to put in a comedy?

They could have easily chosen an 18 year old girl...but they chose FIFTEEN!

Sorry, but that's pedoish.

Which might explain why Jerry Seinfeld was dating a school girl for a while.

it was definitely cringe..

I understand the modern generations attempting to outlaw sex, something they don't understand, and are confused by their own genders, but it's all okay, as the next generation will rebel away from all that, and re-remember how it all works, and these types of questions will be rendered inane.

If you are really wanting to understand, I can suggest looking into classes at a local university about "human sexuality", while doing some side research on why teen pregnancy exists at all. It could be very enlightening.

reply

Amen. A bunch of prudes looking for something to get offended by.

I'm glad to have grown up in a time where people still had a sense of humor and we could watch real comedy. A lot of people nowadays just love to be miserable.

reply

I'm not letting these latter-day Puritans spoil my fun! If I want to watch Seinfeld or anything else I find funny, I'm not going to listen to hypersensitive snowflakes easily offended by everything.

reply

modern humor seems to try to be absurdist: a dog stares at a potato.... ha ha ha Funny... wait... why? what makes that even remotely humorus? nothing, its just random, inoffensive, SAFE ..... nothing, just nothing.
i weep for these people

True

LMAO...WE ARE SPEAKING ABOUT A PRODUCED NETWORK SHOW FEATURING GROWN ADULT MEN OGLING A 15 YEAR OLD GIRL....YOUR GENERIC BULLSHITTY COMMENT DOES NOT APPLY.

reply

That’s not even the worst thing they did in the show. These characters were not role models to live our lives by.

reply

stop making sense

I'm reminded of a Motley Crue song about Traci Lords: "She's only fifteen. She's the reason - the reason that I can't sleep. You say illegal. I say legal's never been my scene."

reply

THAT IS FAIRLY GROSS.

reply

In the late '80s, ephebophilia was to hard rock what body swap stories were to movies. There is a song by Winger whose chorus goes: "She's only seventeen. I used to give her love, like I've never seen. She's only seventeen. Daddy says she's too young, but she's old enough for me."

reply

ALSO FAIRLY GROSS.

reply

There is an episode where Jerry says:-
"You mean the panties your mother laid out for you?"

He says that while attempting dirty talk...

reply

OH MY GOD, NO!! Cancel this show NOW!!! hahahaha

reply

Well it wouldn't matter to me as I have the lot on dvd.

However it does further show the acceptability of slightly pedo-ish humor back not so long ago...

reply

everyone here is using the term pedo incorrectly. like usual for movie chat

reply

I know, right?!! 🤔

reply

they also roofied a girl to have sex with her!!
er, i mean to play with her collection of dolls while she dozed off in dreamland,
they're despicable!!

reply

Denise Richards?

reply

oh yah

reply

Why would staring at fully developed breasts be pedoish? Seems like the opposite.

reply

HAHA. It IS exactly the opposite. But people need things to be indignant about.

reply

When they initially noticed her, I don't think they realized she was fifteen, because she appeared more mature. The whole point of the situation is the awkward dilemma, once they find out, of noticing a sexually attractive minor. We can be thankful that the boot of wokeness was not yet on the neck of comedy in the 1990s.

It's illegal for an adult to have sex with a minor. It's neither illegal nor immoral for an adult to notice and appreciate the fully developed body of a minor. Actually, it's completely natural and unavoidable. Any man who has seen an attractive, voluptuous fifteen-year-old female and claims not to have looked closely or cared is either a homosexual or a liar.

reply

No, I just watched it. They are told by her NBC executive father that his daughter is coming over, who is 15. And George says 'such a fun age!'

Her being 15 was part of the joke.

They thought it would be funnier if they are perving on a girl they know to be just 15.

Not even 'sweet 16'. 15!

I remember watching this in the 1990s when I was a teen and I thought it was weird then. As an adult, I'm just grossed out by it.

reply

you couldn't even hear the "woosh" it was so far over your head

reply

There is nothing perverted about finding a physically mature female attractive. Regardless of the age.

Sexual grounding keeps us from acting upon it but ONLY sexual grounding.

On a base level, if a person, male or female, is old enough to to procreate, that is what they are supposed to be doing. Modern society has developed to a point where we can delay this inevitability but that is very recent.

reply

spoken like a true pedo!

reply

Stop using words you don't understand

reply

No. You got schooled. Accept it and move on. You'll be a better person for it.

reply

Do you know the definition of pedophilia? Probably should Google that before continuing to look silly.
