Did Seinfeld Lie to Us?

(The shortened opening)

NC: Hello, I'm the Nostalgia Critic. I remember it so you don't have to. Let's talk about the show, Louie. (the title card for this video tries to slide in, but the NC pushes it away) Yeah, I know what the title card says; I wanna start off by talking about Louie!

(Cut to a montage of footage of Louie starring Louis C.K.)

NC (vo): For those who don't know, Louie is an FX show centered around the fictionalized adventures of the comedian Louis C.K. It's gotten praised from both audiences and critics. And while the jokes and characters are funny, that's not what I intend to focus on. I intend to focus on the stories. Or rather, lack thereof. Oh, there's stuff that happens. One episode, for example, can consist of Louie going off to see his daughter, visiting his psychiatrist, going on a date, and a lot of times... that's it. There's funny jokes and such that occur, but it's rarely bound to a three-act structure, and half the time, there's not really a focus in the episode. It's just random funny stuff that happens in Louis C.K.'s life. Some are even declaring it the real show about nothing.

NC: But how can that be when Seinfeld is the definitive show about nothing?

(Cut to footage of Seinfeld)

NC (vo): Because... that's what it is, right? A show about nothing? Everyone says it is. Even the series itself seems to endlessly praise itself for it.

George Costanza: It's about nothing! Everybody's doing something; we'll do nothing!

Jerry Seinfeld: I think you may have something here.
