Jerry Seinfeld ripped apart the advertising industry on its biggest night - Quartz

“I love advertising because I love lying,” comedian Jerry Seinfeld told a banquet hall full of advertising executives at the industry’s annual awards show on Oct. 1. He didn’t appear to be joking.

The deadpan acceptance speech for his honorary Clio award drew cheers and applause from the crowd, apparently full of gluttons for punishment. “I think spending your life trying to dupe innocent people out of hard-won earnings to buy useless, low-quality, misrepresented items and services is an excellent use of your energy,” Seinfeld said.

Seinfeld is still the man.
