So what's the joke?

That someone is still willing to give Jerry Seinfeld money.

Interesting bit of trivia though: he actually never started any routine with the words 'what's the deal with' aside from a bit he wrote for Saturday Night Live parodying his style of stand up.

Someone on here described his skill as being able to deliver jokes super well rather than write them, so it makes sense that everything he does that doesn't involve him doing stand up is really bad.

Was his style of naming the mild absurdities of everyday life common in that era, or is that a genuine innovation of his?

observational comedy predates him, obviously, but his personal style was heavily imitated, which isn't surprising given how successful he was.

My favorite thing about B-movie is jerry seinfeld's plan was to make a bad movie, in that it would be parodying all the old bad b-movie tropes. Then the studio said you can't make a movie bad on purpose and tried to fix it and make it good by playing everything straight instead of as a gag, which instead made it the worst movie ever, which then made it a movie everyone loves and thus good.

Yea as with anything else he's attempted Bee Movie started as like a dumb wordplay joke that he had in his head and probably could've done a 30 second standup bit about but because he's Jerry Seinfeld he can fall rear end backwards into developing it into a 100 mil+ budgeted feature film.

I honestly don't even blame him, it seems like he barely has any desire to do these things but every five years or so someone comes along and nags him into doing something.

I don't know if it's exactly the same as making fun of him so much as playfully acknowledging his fetish. Maybe she just wanted to tear him down a peg, but the impression I get from her tone and her body language is she's kinda into the idea of getting Tarantino a little sweaty even if she's not interested in actually getting with him.

I doubt Tarantino cares. In 2021 a celebrity having a foot fetish is barely worth talking about. There's too many other celebrities who are like, engaging in cannibalism or involved in underage sex rings or are about to move to Uganda with their cult followers to give a poo poo about a guy with a foot fetish.

I remember people started pointing it out when he did that Kill Bill scene where Uma was wiggling her toes. And then connecting that back to the scene from From Dusk Till Dawn.

Pretty sure I knew about his fetish before I ever saw FDTD many years ago. A one off character with a foot fetish doesn’t necessarily imply the actor themselves has one. Obviously he does, but it’s never as in your face as it was in OUTIH.

Pretty sure there’s considerably more evidence towards that Nickelodeon pervert than Tarantino.

The big one you're forgetting is Death Proof. It was extremely obvious by that point, Once Upon A Time in Hollywood didn't surprise anybody.

One day society will be irrevocably changed by one weirdo's fetish. "Why do we have to have our legs raised while driving dad?" "Well, about 20 years ago there was an accident while filming a movie. John Travolta was crippled for a good few months because he was sittin normally, but the director had a thing for feet to had Uma Thurman sitting with her legs on the dashboard. Surprisingly, she was fine. That's when we realised that that was actually the safest way to sit in case of an accident."

I feel like Jim The Office is the next director to have a weirdly public foot fetish.

Like in quiet place it felt like just a natural part of the movie that they showed a bunch of gross closeups of beat up feet and feet trauma. Like it was a movie of people walking very quietly and having to not yell so every scene showing everyone's feet felt natural to the specific film. But now quiet place II is out and it doesn't really feel like that sort of movie but still just has constant closeups of everyone gross beat up feet and a bunch of things where everyone's feet are getting hosed up all the time. Like John Krasinski just really likes to see feet be all gross and injured and every scene has closeups of people hurting their feet or feet wrapped in nasty rags.

I am now picturing Jim from The Office slobbering all over the feet of Emily Blunt from Edge of Tomorrow and Tom Cruise shoots himself in the head so he can repeat the day without seeing that.

The funny thing about Bee Movie is that it managed to inspire at least two knockoffs. One where the main character is named "B-nard" and another one with really ugly CGI that makes the villain a stand-in for George W Bush.

Edit:
A trailer for toys.

No, this has nothing to with Rise of The Beasts which is next year's Transformers movie. Funny thing is the director is apparently unclear of how it relates to Bumblebee and the Bay movies.

Edit:
One of the figures is likely a T.rex made using the recent Beast Wars Megatron toy though.
