    He's older, crankier, and not as funny. The first third was a "get off my lawn you kids" version of his original shtick. Then he went into his explanation of the sexes, which wasn't original thinking nor funny, some of it was actually cringe worthy especially if you were a woman. The last ten minutes was more AARP Seinfeld.

    If you've watched most of his "Comedians in Cars" you've marveled at his wit but, at the same time, realized that he's an ass. Instead of fifteen minute bits you get an hour here. Getting old is tough and that's what has happened to Jerry.

    Watching Jerry Before Seinfeld may feel more comforting in this moment than watching 23 Hours To Kill. But whether you think he’s great or he sucks, well, you’re not far off from the truth, either way.

    If you dug his brand of observational stand-up in the past, you might still like it today. If you consider yourself a true connoisseur of dad jokes, get ready for a feast. If you’ve always felt like Jerry Seinfeld was a parody of himself, and of an entire strand of stand-up that peaked during the Reagan years, then this might be a tough hour to get through.

    23 Hours to Kill is his first completely original special since 1998, but it’s not exactly cutting-edge stuff—it has a whole block of jokes about Pop-Tarts and frozen orange juice. Many viewers will find solace in that sameness.
