Jerry Seinfeld tries to get his head around Genesis P-Orridge’s Pandrogeny Project


 
File under “two celebrity names you wouldn’t expect to hear uttered in the same sentence,” but here we are.

This is fascinating simply because you’d probably not expect the avant-garde performance artist and front-person of Throbbing Gristle and Psychic TV to be on the TV funnyman’s radar at all, but in a recent episode of this season’s Comedians in Cars Getting Coffee, Jerry Seinfeld and Margaret Cho have a discussion on identity politics which leads to Cho bringing up P-Orridge’s Pandrogeny Project.

In the popular web series, Cho refers to P-Orridge as “punk rock royalty” along with h/er wife, the dearly departed Lady Jaye, and explains to Jerry their Pandrogeny Project in which the pair underwent body modification to resemble one another, in order to identify as a single pandrogynous being.

Jerry takes it all in and suggests that a “new word” is needed to describe what happens when you, in his words, “transgender into your wife… and she…[turns] into him.”

More after the jump…

Something tells me this particular quip is going to get him into a lot of trouble…

“I’m in favor of continuing the accelerated Darwinian process of early death and weeding out most of the population through sugary drinks.”

—Misanthropic comedian Jerry Seinfeld, discussing the proposed health plan with Grub Street, boiled down his philosophy to, “Fatten them up, kill them off, and move them out.”

Ouch.
