The Seth Meyers one is fantastic.

Re: Comedians in Cars Getting Coffee

I wish I found these funnier, but I've watched like four of them in the past and only give courtesy laughs when my friends are watching. I just... I just don't think they're funny. And it's sad because I love the celebrities that are in it. These segments just don't do it for me though.

EDIT: I should clarify nobody here ever claimed these were laugh-out-loud hilarious. My friends seem to think it is, though. I think they're interesting (in that they're "out of their element"), but not that fun to watch. Not for me, at least.

I think it's more about the nostalgia that they bring to the table versus actually being funny. I think it's great to see the age in them, and how they interact off the camera. Just nice to see!

That part I totally get. I never understood why my friends were laughing their heads off, though. I was thinking: "This is good and all, but this isn't exactly comedy." Combined with the fact the comedians themselves are chuckling their heads off at each other's comments, I was just wondering what I was missing.

Knowing they aren't supposed to be comedy bits puts me at ease a little bit. Like I said, I've already seen a handful of them because of the people who were in it... so as long as I got out of it what I was supposed to, I don't feel as bad anymore lol.

Re: Comedians in Cars Getting Coffee

The whole concept of this show is not to necessarily manufacture laughs; the laughs come from the authentic dialogue of these natural comedians.

I enjoy every episode. Like Larry David said, "You've finally made a show about nothing," which is the brilliance of the show. What I appreciate is seeing the passion of Seinfeld's car obsession inter-twined with the passion of each entertainer's craft.

At about 12 minutes per episode, they're definitely worth the watch...I wish they were longer.

Rickles just rules.

Re: Comedians in Cars Getting Coffee

The show is becoming a bit too manufactured for my liking. And there are a bit too many wasted guests.

Re: Comedians in Cars Getting Coffee

I've resisted the urge to watch these for awhile, just caved and watched the first one with Larry David. That was crazy watching them bounce off each other, just conversation wise. Analyzing little nuances of life, I could see them back in the day creatively tossing Seinfeld ideas around in a little room forming scripts like that.

Sorry about the double thread. This didn't come up.
