This is a reference to Seinfeld. When Jerry and George pitch their show to NBC, they pitch it is a "show about nothing". Which is almost like an recursion, because the show they pitch in Seinfeld is Seinfeld. So, Seinfeld is a show about nothing.
- oh_sigh 4y agoSeinfeld was about how comedians get their material, not nothing. Hence the opening, ending, and interspersed shots of Jerry doing standup related to the events in the show. Though, they somewhat dropped that in later seasons.
- shafyy 4y agoYes of course it's not literally about nothing :-)
