Jerry Seinfeld Perplexed By Birthday Parties - Sitcoms Online Message Boards

Brian Damage · 12-30-2008, 02:36 PM

Make no mistake, Jerry Seinfeld is no fan of birthday parties. “I hate every single one of them,” the 54-year-old comedian said during a recent appearance on the Late Show with David Letterman. “I hate everything about them.” Tops on Jerry’s list of dislikes? Piñatas!

“It changes the mood. It’s like, today you’re 5…lets get violent on that fake donkey. And you have to encourage the child, so I’m holding little 4-year-old shoulders, saying ‘You wail on this ignorant beast, you hear me? You beat him senseless. And whatever falls out of his ruptured carcass, grab it and eat it right in front of his face.’”

The trauma doesn’t end there for Jerry, who noted that after the piñata has been destroyed attention usually turns to a game of ’Pin the Tail on the Donkey.’ “When we’re done with [the piñata], we’re going to put a picture of his brother on the wall, everyone is going to get a pin and we’re going to nail his ass,” he joked. Bouncy castles are also a sore spot for Jerry, who is father to Sascha, 8, Julian Kal, 5 ½ and Shepherd Kellen, 3. “They have a slot in the front, you bring your child to the party, you insert your child into the slot, you turn around and they show you what their real personality actually is,” Jerry explained to host Dave Letterman, himself dad to 5-year-old Harry Joseph. “By the time they get out, they’re so psychotic you just throw ‘em in the minivan/paddy wagon, strap them into their car seat/straight jacket and drive away.”

I'm not a big fan of them either, but the kids LOVE them, and it is all about the kids!

Leave it to Jerry to analyze the potential misfortunes of birthday parties!

It's obvious from reading that article that Jerry hasn't lost his observational wit.
