Jew Creator of “Friends” Having a Personal Crisis Because the Show Didn’t Have Enough Diversity

I never understood the appeal. Apparently the show was a friendship simulator for people who lacked human connections.

When George Floyd was murdered by an evil white cop who hated the color of his skin for literally no reason, this Jew bitch finally admitted to her sins.

Maybe the Jews should consider showing this same level of contrition for that whole deicide thing they did.

RT:

Wracked with guilt over the hit show’s lack of diversity, a co-creator of the 90s sitcom ‘Friends’, Marta Kauffman, has pledged $4 million to the African and African American Studies department of Brandeis University, she revealed on Wednesday. The money will support an endowed professorship at the Boston school.

“I’ve learned a lot in the last 20 years,” Kauffman told the Los Angeles Times, admitting she was initially baffled and irritated regarding criticism of the sitcom, which features six white-presenting 20-somethings living in New York City during the 1990s. “Admitting and accepting guilt is not easy. It’s painful looking at yourself in the mirror.”

Holy shit, RT just referred to “Fellow White People” as “white-presenting.”

The Jews on the show, as far as I know, were all “white-presenting” in that their Judaism was never mentioned. (Meanwhile, when a famous Jew is portrayed in a movie, it’s often a handsome white person playing them.)

Kauffman appears to have changed her mind following the murder of George Floyd in 2020, which kicked off a summer of intense and often violent protests against racism under the banner of Black Lives Matter. “It was after what happened to George Floyd that I began to wrestle with my having bought into systemic racism in ways I was never aware of,” she told the outlet. “That was really the moment that I began to examine the ways I had participated. I knew then I needed to course-correct.”

While the former showrunner said she was relieved she was “finally able to make some difference in the conversation,” she has also acknowledged “it isn’t over” and declared she would ensure that “from now on in every production I do that I am conscious in hiring people of color and actively pursue young writers of color.”

Kauffman, who described her donation to her alma mater as “putting my money where my mouth is,” said that her donation had been met with an “amazing” response. “I’ve gotten nothing but love,” she said, describing a “flood of emails and texts and posts that have been nothing but supportive.”

Despite the show’s overwhelmingly white representation, Manhattan, where the characters lived, worked, and played, was between 46% and 49% white during the show’s run from 1994 to 2004, while the city as a whole went from 43% white in 1990 to just 35% white in 2000.

The problem here is that genetics actually exist.

There’s a reason you feel close to your family. There’s a reason many of you may have reconnected with a cousin or other relative in adulthood, and felt an immediate connection to them. Just so, if you’re American and you end up in a romantic relationship, you might find that if you’re half-German and half-Irish, your lover is this mix as well, even though your connection had nothing to do with that.

I am mostly Irish, and as an adult in other countries, I’d meet people and hit it off with them and then find out they were part Irish. The Irish population was so small for so long, this basically means as a matter of fact we have a common ancestor.

This connection moves out from family, then out from ethnic group, to race.

People intrinsically feel more comfortable around people with genetic similarity. It is an unconscious mechanism that isn’t really even understood. We probably have the ability to understand it at this point, but that kind of research is banned under the politically correct academic regime.

They have done some research on it, because they are trying to figure out a way to stop it (I guess through genetic engineering?) – this is where you got all those articles about babies being “racist.” It’s a real thing that a baby will start crying if it seems someone of a different race.

Dogs also bark at black people, which shows that this ability to recognize a friend/foe distinction on an instinctive level goes beyond humans.

This thing like in Stranger Things where it’s white friends with one black guy – this doesn’t really happen in real life, unless there is a small town that for some reason only has one black person. (In that case, white people will feel bad for the black and try to befriend him, so in that sense, Stranger Things’ diversity is not totally unrealistic.)

Outside of the very specific situation of a small town where one black family happens to live, it doesn’t matter if a city is very large; people of different races are going to congregate together. Even interracial relationships are relatively rare, despite how hard they are pushed in the media. Some white women have casual sex with black men, but the only ones who actually date black men are usually very fat, and they only get attention from black men.

Moreover, black men tend to prefer black women – even when they’re rich. We just had this crucifixion of R. Kelly (30 years in prison by haters for being a straight-up playa), and you notice that all his hoes are black. It was the same with Bill Cosby.

So, this thing with “diverse” casting in TV shows just makes them ridiculous. If you want a diverse show, you have to have some situation where it is logically explained why the races are together. The idea that different races just make friends and hang out with each other just doesn’t happen in real life. When people arguing they’re not racists say “I have a black friend,” they usually mean “I have a casual acquaintance that is black who doesn’t act like a vicious savage ape.”

It is possible for black and white people to make connections, but we’re probably talking about men, and around some skill or profession, which is a common point of interest. So, you sometimes see musicians from different races working together, or men from different races talking about sports. But the relationship is usually based exclusively on that third point. In terms of just casual social interaction, interracial friendships are very rare, because they just don’t form naturally. There is just no connection point.

People hate these new diverse TV shows and films not because they are “racists,” but just because they feel so unnatural and bizarre. In the Spider-Man film series, Peter Parker’s best friend is a fat Pinoy and his girlfriend is black – that doesn’t reflect anyone’s life experience.

I don’t hate Filipinos and I think Zendaya is somewhat sexy. I’m probably less racist than most people. But that situation is simply not realistic. This is not how humans behave. Friends was a Jewish show produced for white people, basically as part of a Jewish social programming/manipulation agenda, but it was popular because people apparently related to it. If they didn’t relate to it, it wouldn’t have been popular. Spider-Man is popular because people like cartoon explosions.

This is the cast of the Amazon Wheel of Time show:

That show did horribly, despite the fact that the books are a lot better than those horrible Game of Thrones books, and the show had the money to be very well done. Most of these diverse TV and film productions are failing. All of them are crippled by diversity. The single most popular show in Netflix history was Squid Game, which was also the least diverse show. It was non-diverse because it was made in Korea, and they don’t have diversity.

The writing was not really spectacular. It certainly was not on the level with the Wheel of Time series, or anything even close to that. (The visuals were spectacular, and the acting was inspired, but in a normal world, Squid Game would be considered a mediocre foreign language entry.)

If you’ve ever been in a nonwhite country, you know that if you are in a social setting – a party or bar or something – and you see another white person, you will start to move closer to each other. Even if you don’t speak the same language, you feel an immediate connection, and start to try to come physically closer to each other across a room.

All of these “racism” problems that supposedly exist are a result of refusing to acknowledge the existence of race, and the real world way it affects human interactions.

    Friends has no appeal unless you enjoy grinding l0w-key hatred. They obviously don’t like each other and spend almost all their time on petty sniping.

    Like most TV probably it’s there to tell the NPCs what to do: in this case, how to avoid having friendships even if you spend all your free time with them.

    Friends is a comedy because you’re supposed to find the idea of friendships laughable.

    you might find that if you’re half-German and half-Irish, your lover is this mix as well

    Only crazy or desperate folk like to miscegenate. Sadly there seems to be plenty of crazies so if you mix the races eventually they both suffer from hybrid degeneration. Background: you get one generation of hybrid vigour and then it’s hybrid breakdown all day every day.

    This thing like in Stranger Things where it’s white friends with one black guy – this doesn’t really happen in real life

    My physics department apparently didn’t have affirmative action; the one black was competent at math and generally a cool guy. Still had an unusual affinity for rap, though, almost as if race is a real thing or something weird like that.

  2. I’m saddened that a jewess tv producer is ashamed for not having done enough jewing with her tv show…….jews who don’t jew enough SHOULD be ashamed…..it’s just not KOSHER.

  3. “diversity is our strength” ………….

    is just a jewish slogan designed to weaken and ultimately destroy our formerly white society.

    Game, set, match– jews.

  4. Very true! In business trips to East Asia, despite my fascination with their culture, I’ve ended up frequenting expat bars. Of course, it helps that the guys there all speak English. I remember with humorous fondness a discussion with fellow Americans, Canadians, and Brits, on how to keep from accidentally picking up a “lady boy” when in Thailand.

  5. Well I paste this comment I posted on Paul Kersey’s essay on same topic here. I am being totally sincere because I want to improve our society, not endlessly complain like everyone else :

    With our advanced computer graphic software it would be easy to “colorize” one of the characters so that future reruns were more sensitive to diversity requirements. The colorizing program could be called “Jolson”.

    Didn’t Frances McDormand go on a rant about diversity in movies, as if her husband Joel Cohen wasn’t using the same handful of white people for every movie? Love the Cohens, by the way. I may not share their Jewishness but coming from the same part of the country is a kinship of sorts.

    Imagine if he had made Friends with characters that actually reflected the nation’s demographics and behaviors but all living together in one building.

  10. As for your other observations they are mostly correct. I am in an inter-racial relationship and currently in a foreign country. We were deep in the countryside where I saw another tall Irish-looking fellow and we acknowledged each other’s presence. Later the whole lot of us were at a mountain tourist attraction and a squad of serious Euro rock climber types marched forward in full repelling gear for the exhilarating zipline setup. I confess, and I feel badly about this, I secretly hoped the cable would snap and kill them all.

    WRONG.

    One of the show’s main characters is some brown Indian or Paki whose storyline is that he faces “discrimination” because he is an immigrant.

    This is clear and obvious Jew subversion, and the reason JewFlix is being pumped into South Korea and Japan is to ZOG these countries even more than they already are.

  15. Only Jew privilege allows them to absolve themselves of guilt by throwing a few crumbs out there.

    The show had much to apologize for but being too white wasn’t one.

  16. I dare him to donate to Palestinian causes.

  17. Friends was comfort food. It never had a “very special episode”, it never preached, and it never got into political commentary (unlike Kauffman’s previous sitcom attempts, which is probably why Kauffman avoided all didadicism on Friends).

    All Friends was was six young airheads mucking about in NYC and being silly with no permanent damage. Basically, the hidden premise of Friends was Peter Pan-esque: your insouciant, fun college years can last forever.

    It didn’t hurt it came about during the NYC revival thanks to low-crime, good economic times of the late 90s/early 2000s. Young people flocked to the show because they were living it in some way by moving to the cities.

    In later seasons the “all-white” diversity criticism arose. Black comedian Wayne Brady, when on Who’s Line Is It, Anyway?, used to have a minor running gag where he would poke fun at the lack of blacks on Friends. And to counter that, in the last few seasons Friends gave David Schwimmer’s character a black girlfriend (Aisha Tyler). But beyond that, the show avoided such topics and made no mention of her race, to its credit.

    Friends may have been the last major network show that avoided lecturing or hectoring on all the DIE subjects. After that, we got the Will & Grace years and every show started having multiple episodes a year being a Norman Lear-esque finger-wagging struggle session.

    @Ralph B. Seymour

    You don’t hear that saying anymore. I think the last year or so has thoroughly discredited that expression and some people are starting to realize the United States is faltering in big ways important to a country and it won’t be able to recover. You could call it the USA’s “Soviet moment”. By the 1970’s, maybe the 80’s, the Soviets and their allies realized they had fallen behind or further behind the West and they were not able to compete and started having discussions (I think mostly in private) on discussing ways they might be able to compete better. It was too late.

    Although one of the poorest countries in the world 50 years ago (China) is now the biggest and one of the most dynamic countries in the world today none of the European countries, nor the USA are discussing the failure of the US and Europe to compete successfully against China. But they haven’t just fallen behind China, but Japan, Taiwan, Singapore and other east Asian countries are also beating the pants off the West. After two thousand years, Europe had fallen from its leadership position in 1945 and now the United States has been surpassed. The USSR also fell.

    There are still some hold outs that claim the dollar will remain the world’s reserve currency despite the fact the US has the biggest debt in the world and will never be able to pay it back. The dollar will fall and it won’t be very long before it does. Tucker Carlson is blowing the horn that China is beating the US left and right. If they finally do discussing their failures an obvious discussion point would be immigration and multiculturalism but I have my doubts they will ever do that. Race and ethnicity are forbidden to be discussed in relation to success, so they might just keep up the Jewish way of handling issues and lie.

  22. Altai says:

    The Jews on the show, as far as I know, were all “white-presenting” in that their Judaism was never mentioned.

    Ross was depicted as quite Jewish but not very often, his father played by Elliot Gould and Rachel’s father played two different kinds of Jewish stereotypes.

    But what was always funny to me is how despite being full siblings, Ross, played by the very Jewish David Schwimmer was always the Jewish one and Monica, played by the deeper not-Jewish Courtney Cox was never depicted as such. I remember one episode where Ross was deeply invested in getting his half-gentile (Maybe quarter, I’m not sure if their mother is supposed to be Jewish she is played by a very WASP actress who plays her as a WASP) son interested in Hanukkah and Monica is just there as if the whole Judaism thing is alien to her making fun of him. Anytime the joke was Judaism they forget Monica is supposed to also be Jewish because the actress was so deeply not Jewish.

    Rachel is also supposed to be Jewish but it never comes up (Because the actress is also so deeply non-Jewish) except in an interesting way when we see glimpses of her before she got her nose job. Which makes the fact that her Jewishness never comes up even funnier and was obviously the big joke for the Jewish writers. Rachel is always hiding her Jewishenss but there it is in the past literally all over her face. Even her sisters are played by intensely WASP actresses, Reese Witherspoon and Christina Applegate. (I remember one joke when one of them visits and makes a comment on if she thinks her daughter will need a nose job, particularly since Ross is the father) Though like with Ross and Monica’s mother, her mother seems to be a WASP which makes her getting a nose job to look more like her mother all the more realistic.

    Arguably some of the funniest scenes in the show are when Ross has to interact with the aggressive miserly father of Rachel who is depicted as an intense Jewish stereotype. And then we have Janice, played by the deeply Jewish Margaret Jacobson and who is a Fran Drescher style stereotype of certain Jewish women from New York.

    So technically 3 of the main cast were Jewish but only Ross was written as if he was.

    Most peoples have miscegenated throughout history with whoever was available. It’s because nature wants us to procreate as much as we can. Nature does not care about what that will do to human culture, as long as the descendants are healthy enough to procreate themselves.

    Due to travel limitations most of it was with similar people, but only due to that, until the late Middle-Ages when modern racialism begun.
    Even the Romani people, for example, show a lot of Balkan admixture, despite their Indian origins. Balkan people, like Serbs or Bosnians, will fuck anything that moves, but in the past all humans were like that presumably (if genetic science is to be believed).

  26. Hmm, perhaps rather than “guilt over the hit show’s lack of diversity,” one might give a thought to the show’s overall lack of reality. Aren’t we talking about a silly sitcom which featured self-absorbed young people complaining about their lousy jobs, but still they could afford to rent spacious apartments in New York City? Successful TeeVee “entertainment” is designed to be an escape from reality. It’s just made-up stuff, fluff designed to create an emotional reaction that keeps the audience tuned to the idiot box between commercials. Ad revenues are what support the industry. And those ads themselves are usually framed as wish-fulfillment fantasies, rarely as statements of the products’ details or value.

  27. So she forgets that she cast a black chick, first, as Ross’ girlfriend, who is then hosed out from under him by Joey. Yes, for a few eipsodes, Friends had some diversity, but as usual, it was a Jew and an Italian using an African American and then tossing her aside.

  29. 33% of the “friends” are Jews, not even crypto, just open about it. They are the smart and successful ones, siblings, one male and one female. The four white characters are portrayed as breathtakingly stupid, with the possible exception of Chandler, whose IQ is offset by his neurotic self deprecating smarm. He ends up marrying the Jewish girl. At least all six are portrayed as equals in that they are all relentless sociopaths; the petty self interest that they can never transcend is the bedrock of the show’s humor, and anyone unfortunate enough to be a fan of this show will be left waiting for the laugh track to strike every time they insult and demean somebody they love. Friends is only technically less Jewish and psychotic than Seinfeld. It is a whitewashed image of NYC. It was racist from the get go, despite the token African American friend that was written into the series in the 11th hour. Mind control poison through and through. Blacks should be grateful they were not represented in this cultural abomination; they should thank Marta Kaufmann for being a nasty supremacist and run for the hills.

    I only watched half of one episode of Friends. Thought it was stupid and actors couldn’t act to save their lives. So, non-diversity was the least of this show’s problems. Of course it found its audience in people who couldn’t get jokes in Seinfeld and Frasier.

    “It’s so woke, it makes me want to puke.”

    At the time, the best TV shows on Netflix were Travelers and The Magicians (if you throw out the last season).

    Minorities do show up now and then, but without things getting too preachy. The deliberate insertion of minorities for the sake of diversity often ruins the plot line. Also, these people have no real sense of humor. The problem with woke is, it’s no fun.

    Friends was always more female than racial. It was never-ending relationship fueled micro-dramas, done in a more presentable way than soap operas, but still locked in that sort of tedium. It is totally forgettable, imho, and was so at the time.

    In those days the “edge-y” show was Seinfeld, the other group of non-diverse TV characters in NYC. It was “must-watch” TV if only for the fact that you needed to know what happened in Seinfeld for the water-cooler talk at work. Some videos are up on the web now where people have gone through Seinfeld episodes and stripped out the laughtrax. These videos are astounding. Bereft of the laughtrax, every Seinfeld episode is not funny at all but rather quite disturbing and very weird. What a creepy exercise in spell-casting, was Seinfeld.

    Also like Seinfeld, Star Trek the Next Generation was such a required “water-cooler” type show of the day. And this show was the diversity platform of currency, not Friends, not Seinfeld. Star Trek was, by the way, the most painful watch among all three. Just like pulling teeth.

    I noticed that nearly all black and white early TV has disappeared from modern cable TV. While I realize that many of the people who would still want to watch “Father Knows Best” are dead now, and it is unattractive to advertisers, I can’t help but wonder if it is being memory-holed for a reason. As in, the sooner we forget about the golden age of Christian European America, the better.

    I believe it drives woke progressives insane to think that there is any chance to return to those days again. After Roe vs. Wade was overturned, baby-killing advocates started selling shirts on etsy saying, “I Will Not Go Quietly Back To The 1950s.” That’s why their narratives have to be maintained at gunpoint. Like, if you asked the homeless in California to move off of the sidewalks, then you have to admit that they have made poor choices and do actually have agency. Then, your victim narrative begins to erode away. You must admit that blacks are not just victims, but caused their own problems. When the whole, “It’s not their fault, they are victims of hatred, poverty, lead paint, locust infestations, etc.” unravels for blacks, gays, women, muslim rapeugees, then the woke Democrats’ coalition of the fringes is in danger of coming unglued. So, in summary, to keep from ever going back to those times when curvy blue-eyed blondes were the beauty queens, gibs me mo DIE on the Tee Vee.

    Personally I never found Friends funny, interesting or even entertaining, and I grew up watching 80’s and 90’s TV. I thought Seinfeld was funny at the time, even though on second analysis you realize that all the characters are annoying jerks that you wouldn’t want near you in real life (and I think even Larry David realized it at the end, putting them in prison). But “Friends”… I never saw the appeal. Yeah, maybe it didn’t hector the audience (too) much, but so what.

    Well it’s the same trick in Seinfeld where the “Costanza” family is supposedly “Italian”, but it’s completely Jewish in behaviour (like all the other characters, who at least have Jewish names), and George Costanza is played by a Jewish actor. While Kramer (typical Jewish surname) is supposedly played by a non-Jewish actor (and I think he’s Italian-American).

    I know, leave it to free market…however advertising revenue is a major disruption of free market. Corrupted sponsors avoiding tax payment, spend billions on advertising and that excessively support the Hollywood nest or MSM lying parasites or corrupt politicians.

    Reminder: in gay countries, men can’t be friends, because normal expressions of affection look homosexual. As a result, men can’t express affection for each other, don’t feel affection for each other, and don’t become friends.

    It’s normal in most of the world for male friends to hold hands. It isn’t normal in America, not because they’re gay, but because you are. Why are pro athletes allowed to smack each other on the bum? Because they’re especially not-gay. There’s almost no chance a gay can be competitive, so they stop worrying; they get anti-perverted and partially cured of oversexualization.

    Unlike most American anti-human culture, you can’t just not be gay. You have to go full Amish: never watch TV, never read American books, and don’t associate with anyone who does.

    It’s important that gays get shoved deep into the closet, so that homosexuality is completely unthinkable, so that the 98.5% of men who aren’t gay can be friends with each other. I would personally allow a gay neighbourhood, but it would practically be a black-ops site.

    Of course the State loves it when men can’t be friends, because friendship groups sometimes resist State influence. Likewise a man with no friends, or only fake friends, is almost totally dependent on the State.

    Comedy is niche, so just because you don’t find it funny doesn’t mean others agree. Friends‘s massive ratings for a decade are enough proof of not only it being funny, but being consistently great. And it was. It was stupid early-20’s inoffensive college humor with sex thrown in.

    Aren’t we talking about a silly sitcom which featured self-absorbed young people complaining about their lousy jobs, but still they could afford to rent spacious apartments in New York City?

    They actually managed to explain that away in a method that wasn’t totally crazy.

    Monica’s apartment (the big main set) was previously her grandmother’s and was rent-controlled from WW2 days, hence why she and Rachel (a waitress) could afford it.

    Ross had his own place as he was a paleontologist at a museum.

    Chandler actually had a good-paying corporate job but wanted a roommate because he was saving as much of his money as possible for his wedding to a soul mate (Chandler was a sad-sack loser), so he got a roommate for a low rate, who turned out to become his best friend, Joey, and so Joey (the unemployed actor) never had to pay that much since Chandler was lonely and wanted his friendship and footed much of the bill.

    Phoebe, like Monica, inherited her apartment from her grandmother and thus got sweet rent control for it.

    It was all of course too convoluted to be real, but having lived in NYC in two rent-controlled apartments, I can attest that they make it possible to live in a great area in a nice building with a mediocre job.

    But I do agree that it is all partially subjective. As I said, I grew up watching 1980’s and 1990’s sitcoms, so I guess I watched pretty dumb things, dumber than “Friends”. To give you an idea, I think “ALF” was funnier and had better actors too.

    I was just never into “Friends”, for some reason. I never sympathized with any of the characters or actors, nor found the comedy funny or engaging. Maybe you had to live in New York to understand it (but I “got” Seinfeld, and I did not live in New York).

    Friends was part of the exact same Must See TV (NBC Thursdays) block as Seinfeld during much of its run. Friends debuted at 9:30pm, and Seinfeld was its lead in at 9pm. The next year, Friends switched to 8pm, but Seinfeld remained at 9pm. When Seinfeld went off the air, Friends became NBC’s #1 show and stayed that way almost until the end.

    In other words, the same people who watched Friends were watching Seinfeld, and liked both. I was never a Seinfeld fan, and preferred Friends‘s upbeat, everything-is-going-to-be-ok vibe, but I would never put Seinfeld down; numbers don’t lie.

    On the plus side, I thought the lack of diversity was the best thing about it. All good-looking young white people (one, Schwimmer, was a jew however, just better looking and taller than average for his tribe).

So called multiculturalism destroys diversity and I think there are other ways to maintain friendly relations between countries besides destroying their peoples.

  83. People are of course welcome to dislike Friends, to disapprove of its subject and criticize the writing. Those of us who thought it was funny were keyed in to the secret of its success: the cast understood that one of the key elements of good comedy is timing. They had excellent timing, and very good chemistry, and that counts for a lot. They also had good technique as actors, which amounts to mastery of… timing.

    It sounds like this Marta Kauffman has some new project in mind, and she is trying to convince today’s anti-white Hollywood to give her new project a shot.

    I say Hollywood because Friends was set in Manhattan, but episodes were taped at the Warner Brothers studios in Burbank CA, which is part of Hollywood.

    The other two co-creators of Friends were also Jews (Kevin S. Bright, and David Crane). And of course protagonists David Schwimmer and Lisa Kudrow were Jews.

    Looking at the bigger picture, the last non-Jewish head of a major studio was Alan Ladd Jr., who headed 20th Century Fox from 1976 to 1979 (during which time he helped launch the Star Wars movies). In 1993 he formed with Ladd Company which, in cooperation with Paramount Pictures, produced Braveheart. The Jews gave him an Academy Award for Braveheart in 1995, and immediately purged him afterward.

    Since 1995, Jews have headed all major studios as far as I know. Therefore it was very difficult for non-Jews to break into Hollywood from 1995 until 2015, when the Jews themselves launched their “Oscars So White” campaign to keep out all aspiring heterosexual and non-Jewish whites.

    Since the BLM riots of 2020, new aspirants must be non-white, or fags, or trannies, or Jews.

    The only exceptions are Goy actors that have been in Hollywood for many years.

Both humans and dogs learned what they needed to do to make the relationship mutually beneficial. The humans didn’t adapt to the dogs, aside from putting their ‘diversity’ to good use, and they weren’t shy about using ‘eugenics’ to correct any failures to assimilate to the dominant culture.

    Many cultures continued to have a similar approach with people until religious propaganda introduced various bits of abstract objective morality (e.g., every human is sacred) that overwhelmed their good sense.

    To be fair, laughter is contagious and people are stupid. A few will laugh at something that didn’t happen, and then the rest of the audience will join in to avoid feeling left out.

It works the same way. A few will either fake-giggle on command or laugh at someone trying to make them laugh, and everyone else will guffaw to avoid feeling left out.

    Why doesn’t a new industry spring up in the midwest? Movie or the cinemas are an incredible art form that can captivate to the extent of brainwashing-Leni Riefenstahl understood this and made the brilliant Triumph of Will. They are an integral part of the history of America. It’s weird because I hear they have so many incentives in Georgia and other states like Tennessee. Kevin Costner’s new show I think is shot in the midwest. Great local values on the screen, gorgeous real locations that no CGI can replicate, and most importantly local work. Do you people have any idea how many people even a small television set employs? There’s a lot of work.

    The Western needs to return-just an old-fashioned comedy even. All recent films seem so serious and glossy-shot on digital, give me the tone and atmosphere of a “High plains Drifter” any day. The grungy look of The Terminator, Alien or Planet of the Apes. Hell, even 90s movies like Independence Day or Volcano seem better than 90% of films out today.

    Science Fiction is another genre that can rejuvenate the WASP masses, so many great authors and stories from the 1890s-1960s. John Wyndham alone has an ouvre that can take years to be filmed. Very creative and fulfilling. A book like the Mars trilogy can easily be a multibillion-dollar franchise.

    Just Scifi and Westerns alone can create a Hollywood-type industry that will make good films that will be hits locally(locally made- domestic gross) and become popular in good nations like Japan or S Korea, who haven’t been totally “jew-ised”, and still respect the old WASP filmmaker’s creativity. Keep in mind that the animators, sculptors and set designers were white men in the grand era of the 70s- 80s-90s, watch the making of the Shining or A new hope or T2. They’ll flock locally for work. I read an incredible comment here on unz on how a lot of white men are leaving the LA region. Hollywood is dying in my opinion. Someone should make a good investment in Kentucky or Texas and start a new cinema industry

    Thais have “negrito” blood. The natives of South East Asia are black midgets pretty much. Filipinos have this too. Their skin isn’t dark from the sun. It’s from the black negrito blood that they have, 10% on average in thais and Filipinos, it goes higher in the poor classes, many of whom are prostitute. That attractive silky white skin that the northern Chinese and North Japanese/Koreans have is because they have no negrito ancestry.

    Apparently, I had managed to go through life without ever even catching a glimpse of Friends. I had two TVs in the house, but my eyes were usually glued to a computer monitor with work on it in those days and nights during the ’90s, not that I had regularly watched any sitcoms or dramas on TV since my childhood, anyway.

    News, sports, documentaries and nature programs on the boob tube were about it for me.

    I do remember when I saw Courtney Cox on TV for the first time, around 2000, during her guest appearance on somebody’s talk show. I thought she was so stunningly beautiful that I dropped what I was doing, turned on the sound, and stood there with my eyes popping out until an on-screen graphic identified her and why she was famous. Still, I never watched Friends, and only gradually over time also began to recognize Jennifer Aniston and finally, Lisa Kudrow.

    Aniston is still fairly prominent on the boob tube, usually seen hawking some cream or medicated goo for rubbing on hands and face, an approach that seems to be working better for her than plastic surgery did for Cox.

    Getting back to that obnoxious schmuck Jerry Seinfeld, this old article by Steve Sailer contains some discussion about whether or not Seinfeld was funny, and even more significantly includes some juicy hints about Seinfeld’s earlier, suspected snatch-related adventures in Iceland:

    https://www.unz.com/isteve/seinfeld-on-wretched-refuseism/#comment-1954239

    Finally, here is the link I neglected to include earlier, giving details about Seinfeld’s relationship with Lonstein:

    http://defamer.gawker.com/remember-when-38-year-old-jerry-seinfeld-dated-a-17-yea-1714153938

    Note that the Gawker article mentions and links to an article about Jerry and Shoshanna’s relationship titled “The Game of Love” in a March 1994 issue of People magazine, which might be the article where Sailer’s commenter Clyde thinks he read about Jerry’s p-hunting trips to Iceland, but the People article has been scrubbed.

    It was easy enough to find that March 1994 article from People, “The Game of Love,” as it was simply the link from Gawker that was broken, but while the People article has details about some of Seinfeld’s girlfriends, there’s nothing in there about any trips to Iceland.

    Better yet, they can pitch a reboot with the Friends characters living passive-aggressively in the same building with the Seinfeld crew, but this time they spice it up with a few blacks and maybe a Guatemalan tranny or two. Is there a TV mogul in LA worth his shekels who would be able to refuse that?

    That’s what we’re told, yeah.

    They also told us Bin Laden did 9/11. The fact Afghanistan is right next door to Iran, which they don’t dare invade because Iran has a million man army, has nothing to do with it… Oh and hey look at what’s right on the other side. Iraq. What a coincidence.

    If Cosby did rape someone and we’re told he raped someone, it would be something of a first. More likely he insulted Ghislaine or Hillary or whoever and an order went out to smear him in the Official press. Maybe he forgot to pay the jizya, the way Lehman Brothers and Bear Stearns did. Bill Gates, briefly, too; you didn’t think the antitrust suit was anything but a shakedown, did you? He learned his lesson well.

    They also tell us the creatures from underground on Friends are friends with each other.
    You know, there’s one part of Friends that’s extremely realistic. None of them can maintain a sexual relationship for more than a few episodes, which makes sense as they’re all insufferable.

    But that’s my point. In the past 20 years everyone is realizing the truth- who owns this land and what they are doing. If WASPS relocate to middle America, live with their values, they can create their industries and content. And then what? Why hire a Jew or Black or Indian HR or creative head? Self sustaining industry creating content for the local masses. There won’t be a need for an outsider in any department. Everything can be learnt and mastered.

    Hollywood is done for. You are right….the whites built the nest long ago and then the Jewish producers came in and made Hollywood their own. But……it won’t happen a second time is my point. On second thought this needs to happen. There are a few conservative billionaires….they should pump in the money and start a industry. Theyll reap the profits also i am certain.

    I never watched “Friends” back in the day, but last year it was on the TV in the waiting room at Honda as I was having my car maintenance and I was struck at how wholesome white youth looked back then. No tattoos, no piercings, no anti social hairstyles, nice clothes, whatever else one can say about it at least it wasn’t telling kids to go out and become dregs. NY? Never paid close attention, I had just assumed it was set in California? Seinfeld was the one I associated with NY.

    Failing to counter-signal these local tribal markers doesn’t make them not-dregs. Look at behaviour, not fashion.

    Copying these tribal markers is cheap, by the way. They seem to be designed to be easily spoofed. Infiltrator-friendly. Inviting subversion.

    Folk get into tattoos and piercings because this tribe’s customs didn’t work.”It’s failing me catastrophically…might as well try the opposite. Can’t be worse. It’s not like I’m smart enough to think of anything more sophisticated. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯”

    Though there’s also an element of resolving compromises. Turns out “nice” fashions don’t stop you from meaninglessly wasting your life. They could change their lifestyle to match their clothing, or they could change the clothing to match the lifestyle. However, for reasons, they can’t change their lifestyle. Don’t know how, and would be too scared even if they did, and…

    Instead they match the self-hating lifestyle with self-hating fashion. Oh and by coincidence the interesting hair colours too.

  132. Dr. Rock says:

    Obviously, she didn’t go nearly far enough:

    “Frens Be Frens, A Marta Kauffman Joint”
    (in the ultimate act of contrition, former “Friends” creator Marta Kauffman, creates new show, after realizing that her previous all-white-presenting cast caused the death of George Floyd)

    Meet our cast-

    S’honTea’ DeChiRaq-
    Raised by a mix raced lesbian couple of transmen, S’honTea’ likes to strut around in undersized yoga pants that accentuate her enormous ass, and the fat rolls that hang over them, under the fake braided hair extensions that go down to her knees, each strand featuring a garish fake fingernail at the end. She doesn’t “work” in the traditional patriarchal “white man’s” world, because “she ain’t gon be havin dat”. She’s loud, fat, always screaming, and eating, and screaming about being “phat, fat, and free”. She takes job after job, as a diversity hire, then promptly accuses the organization of racism, and sues, to seek a settlement, to pay for her weed, until the money runs out, and she does it again. She has several children, but “dey all be stayin’ at my moms”, so we never see them, and neither does she.

    Marcus “Thug Life” Jackson-
    A street hustler with a 5th grade education, and the verbal skills to prove it, Marcus mostly just shows up to sell the “Frens be Frens” group weed, and other street drugs. His running gag is asking every black man he meets if “dey be his daddy?” (cue the canned laugh track). He dresses in oversized sports gear, sporting gold chains, and cornrows that glisten in the sun like spilled motor oil. Never appearing in the same jersey, or shorts, or “kicks”, more than once (this will bring a rich marketing opportunity to the show, as every week they can feature new clothing to hawk, so you can “dress like Marcus). And, for flavor, periodically evil white Nazi cops show up, looking for Marcus, and/or one of his baby mammas, needing money for diapers, and the like.

    Krystal “African Queen” Mandingo-
    Tall, slender, super dark, and almost right off the boat from Africa. She dresses in a constant color explosion of pseudo-African-tribal garb, while speaking in a voice deeper than James Earl Jones’. The only thing bigger than her giant breasts, is her heart, and Adam’s apple. Long legs, short skirts, and at only 6’4″, size 16 heels, making “her” a towering figure of hyper-feminized African bushman turned aspiring Broadway actor. She’s always trying to land roles as the sexy, exotic, leading lady, but always being a foot taller than her “male” counterpart, leads to constant depression and threats of suicide. She turns to drugs, and Haitian VooDoo as a remedy for her professional failures, and routinely turns tricks, just to make ends meet. A tragic figure, but still entertaining, due to “her” stories about failed auditions and supremely surprised Johns, when they discover her schlong.

    De’Trey “Fat Albert” Washington-
    Type III Diabetes can’t keep this laugh riot down. Always cracking wise with his jiggling thighs, a constant cut-up, and 400 lbs of fun loving negro. (think of a super fat, and older version of Gary Coleman) His schtick is that he is literally eating something in every single scene! He takes a bite, cracks a joke, and rinse and repeat. Obviously he can’t and doesn’t work, but that okay, because he’s a constant fixture in the building, always trying to borrow money, or get free stuff, or “finding stuff, just laying around (in unlocked apartments) while selling things on eBay, and ordering DoorDash (a cinematic tool to bring in an endless litany of delivery drivers as minor characters. Also, as an aside, he has a major crush on Krystal because “she sexy as a mugfugger” (and because he’s the only “Frens be Frens” cast member that hasn’t figured-out she’s a he-she). Hilarity ensues.

    Roommate #1-
    A revolving cast of characters come in and out of their lives, under the guise of “renting the other bedroom”, but they usually end up in jail, or shot in a drive by, or OD’ing, or having to leave down to avoid child support payments, or felony charges, or their pimp, or maybe they end up on the streets as another drug addicted hooker or street hustling gang banger… you get the idea.

    Stanley Libowitz Goldberg, the Jewish Landlord from down the hall-
    He is their foil, their muse, their bumbling nemesis, always prattling on about paying rent, or not leaving garbage in the hallway, or playing crappy rap music until 3am every night. He’s about 5’4″, balding heavily, overweight, with bad teeth, and a giant, hooked nose. He inherited the building from his parents who were murdered by street thugs in a drive by while they were cleaning the graffiti off of the front of the building for the 50th time. A “slumlord” by definition, but too harmless to matter, he just the butt of jokes, and an occasional mugging victim. He constantly threatens to evict our “Frens” and give their apartments to “those Koreans that run the grocery store on the corner”. but he never does., and anytime he gets too uppity, Marcus just lifts his baggy shirt to reveal his gat, everybody laughs, and Goldberg just skulks away.

    I can see it all… it’s Seinfeld meets Friends, meets Sanford and Son, meets Martin, meets Menace 2 Society.

    I can’t wait!
