This was great. I'm going to start doing this myself, especially with my parents' physical affection. "No thanks".
Jerry Seinfeld says Who's Kesha?? No hugs for you!

Since when did we become a society of huggers? We hug for everything nowadays. "Hello" - hug; "Congratulations" - hug; "Nice haircut" - hug. It's absurd. I mean, if we want to express real emotion for someone - I mean, where is there left to go?
O, wait, wrong show. I really can't see how anyone could not side with Jerry on this one though.

Damn.
If you don't know who ke$ha is I'm not convinced you've ever had true fun in your life...
I like hugs with nearly anyone friendly, but I'm latino and we hug and kiss as a greeting to people.

Pop-GAF was a mistake.
With Jerry being a germaphobe, I can't really say I blame him. Random strangers (no matter how well-known they are to others) asking for hugs is no bueno.

It's a Frasier quote, this incident just reminded me of it
. If you're talking about the second part of my post; I'm sure you can still see how people might not want a hug even if you're big on hugs yourself.Zen_Arcade

You think Seinfeld, one of the biggest comedians in the world, is struggling to stay relevant?

I'd give her a big ol hug but I am not a germaphobe.

I wouldn't mind being a "has been" who "struggles to stay relevant" if I had a net worth of $800+ million like Jerry does.
I'm sure you are probably a fart in the wind to him as well.

Is this *really* what you want for yourself?
Insulting an entire family on a whim because you're a fan of someone who doesn't even know you exist?

Must be an older guy thing, because I don't know who Kesha is either.

No and Jerry's reaction was perfect.

And yet, Seinfeld rejecting a hug is still news. And Larry David, who is reviving Curb for another season, still has massive popularity with a show that explores the exact same neuroses.
Doesn't really matter what year it is, it's still a pretty huge cultural phenomenon.

She'd be more sad if her limo ran 15 minutes late than if that poster died a slow and painful death and they still step up to bat

If you don't want to hug someone, you don't want to hug them. It's kind of an intimate thing if you think about it, not that it ever really bothers me when a stranger does it, but still.
To be honest, I don't know who Kesha is either.

Is that a bad thing now? It's not like he was rude, or demeaning. A man didn't want to hug a random weird looking person on a red carpet. I'm pretty sure he's earned the right to turn down that kind of hug without backlash. It's not like he called her names or is back peddling.

I don't even think that is a right you have to earn. If you don't want to hug someone then you don't have to.
It has f*** all to do with having a stick up your ass. I don't want to be hugged by random people either.

I agree with you. By no means should anyone feel obligated to hug someone. Just saying that Jerry should be off limits and he should be the one that starts a greeting. Maybe I'm just putting him up on a celebrity royalty pedestal. Not to mention it's kind of weird for anyone to greet a stranger with a hug and not a handshake.
I'm just old I guess.

Elaine: You denied a hug?
Jerry: Denied!
Kramer: You can't deny the hug, Jerry!
Jerry: I can and I did.
George: I don't get a lot of hugs. <sips coffee>

Not only do I read this with their voices, I can picture the body language as well.
But the show (and the artist), like any great piece of art or culture, lives on.

I am just trying to imagine the responses to this if the she was giving the interview and Nicholas Cage tried to run up and give her a hug. I suspect It would be a lot less "it was just a hug" comments and more "what a creeper!" comments.
holy shit this has to be one of the most embarrassing posts I have ever seen on this siteShe will forever have more relevance, talent and success than your whole failure of a family could ever dream of achieving.
This is a typical Jerry Seinfeld move. She should have known better, she made it an awkward situation for the both of them. Jerry doesn't act like this because he wants to be funny, he's simply not a fan of people in general.
Good job, let's make this about double standards. Quite the accurate scenario you've just mad eup.

I felt that sullen pathetic George was more appropriate for the scene than manic outburst George.
