Kramer to release tell all book addressing his “racist outburst that led to lifelong spiritual quest”

Michael Richards had the patience to do the Saturdays skit with Andy Kaufman but couldn't resist losing his shit on a couple of talkative blacks? How embarrassing
It was not that. It was pure anger. Those niggers came to the club to harass the comics on purpose. They had done it the night before. The asshole club owner was too much of a pussy to handle things so Kramer did what all comics fantasize about. Unload on a disruptive audience member. He clearly couldn't believe that the club wouldn't deal with hecklers and Kramer didn't have the chops to deal with them diplomatically.
That’s a major part of it too - he was never a stand up and decided to start in his late 50s. From what I remember his shows were pretty bad with audiences not laughing at his jokes and a lot of silence. It was also at a famous LA venue and happen to be shortly after YouTube became popular and the start of everyone having recording devices. If that happened like 3 years earlier it would have never become what it did, that was when if you were there you saw it and didn’t even have the resources to have it go “viral”
People went because it was “Kramer” and they didn’t know what to expect from Michael Richards and he wasn’t a stand up. After the initial “oh look! It’s the guy from Seinfeld!” Cheers and applause and 5 minutes of polite chuckles it got bad because he was a new stand up and not “Kramer” as they expected to see.
Those DVD’s were delayed for like 5+ years because none of the cast would do interviews for the extras without residuals and Jerry was being a jeeewwww.
Seinfeld is such a stereotypical jew name
They really put that dvd out at the right time to make the most money - couple years later and nobody was buying dvds anymore. DVD sales got Family Guy un-cancelled and Chappelle that 50 million deal.
I can hear your audience laughing, but I'm here to tell you seriously about niggers.
He was a main character in some short lived sitcom like ten years ago. I genuinely forgot the name. Hold on I’ll look it up….

I'm still stunned that Michael Richards is actually his real name. I was expecting to see he was born as a Shlomo or a Lorenzo.
stop laughing
It was Jerrys show they could have cut it. Also they inserted it all awkward like into Curb
What if it turns out his "spiritual journey" was just him going around the world trying to come to terms with how many niggers there are?
That rant and apology was funnier than all nine seasons of Seinfeld combined.
His apology is easily the single greatest moment in late night talk show history. I cannot think of anything that comes even close in second place.
"I, ummm, deeeeeeeply regret my, uh, use of language... I was wrong to call them those names. It's not like I was calling a spade a spade -
Oh no."
I honestly do feel quite bad for him. imagine your entire career and all of your credibility imploding in 45 seconds because of some FAWKING NIGGERS WHO DON'T KNOW WHEN TO SHUT THE HELL UP!
I remember when Jerry said "it's not funny. Stop laughing." It made me fucking howl. My dad even laughed.
Classic Letterman.

I have no idea but I doubt its South Park, thats more the old gen z / young millennials. I think its the memes which my generation is in touch with. Everybody understands what he did at duh laugh factory. Sniff
