The commentator Alberto Gonçalves addresses the controversy surrounding the Commedia a La Carte festival, which was boycotted by several comedians due to Jerry Seinfeld's participation in the event. The artists who were supposed to be on the lineup decided not to participate, motivated by the American humorist's positions on the Israeli-Arab conflict.
Alberto Gonçalves analyzes the situation with his usual ironic tone, suggesting that the comedians who practiced the boycott ended up being the target of ridicule themselves. The article's title, which refers to the "comedians" who "boycott" Seinfeld as being funny, reflects this sarcastic perspective of the commentator.
The Israeli-Arab conflict emerges as the trigger for this controversy in the world of humor. Jerry Seinfeld's positions on this issue were apparently the factor that led several comedians to refuse to participate in the festival, generating a tug-of-war in the international stand-up comedy circuit.
The article functions as a veiled critique of boycott and cancellation culture, using humor as a vehicle to question the consistency and legitimacy of the comedians who decided not to share the stage with Seinfeld for political reasons.
