That's pretty harsh. I think I get sarcasm pretty well, thank you. I don't think it is hateful to say that Jerry was being a dick. You may not have watched the whole interview, but if you had you might agree that Jerry was not "getting" what Larry was serving. There was more than one occasion where I got the distinct impression that Jerry was thinking "This is what people expect. If I do the opposite of what people expect, like say, George Costanza, it'll be funny as hell! It'll be so Seinfeld!" But every time he tried it, he came off like a dick. And Larry often had a look on his face like "You're being a dick!" I understand perfectly well that Jerry may have been trying to take the piss out of Larry, but it didn't work, and I, for one, don't feel that Larry thought it was funny. And I don't think it's "jumping on the hate train" to say so, as that is simply an impression of the interview, not of the man.
