Seinfeld: Classic or Dud

Is there any evidence of Seinfeld being funny after Seinfeld? I mean it's clear that Larry David still has it, and even though those last two seasons without him were actually pretty good, Seinfeld's post-Seinfeld life is littered with terrible commercials, The Marriage Ref, and awful twitter account, and now this

the larry david one is great because it has larry david being larry david

because it has larry david being larry david

not a positive imo

Seinfeld is just Larry DAvid's dickpuppet

not a positive imo

f u imo :)

The Larry David one might've been OK because he and Jerry have a great rapport, which definitely couldn't be said about him and Gervais. The Brian Regan one wasn't so bad. But this series seems to be just Jerry on autopilot. It would be interesting if he were trying a little harder. It really just seems unprepared, totally winging it.

gervais woul dbe better served with a Mitchell or Webb

We did the usual thing today where each of my students introduced his or her seatmate, and it turns out one my girls says she wants to be an architect. Naturally thrilled. If she suddenly decides she wants to be a city planner instead, I won't be happy.

What if she wants to be a marine biologist?

We were joking about that! (A Seinfeld fan I work with.) The thing is, she's a nice girl and a good student--apparently she really does want to be an architect. It defeats the whole purpose if she's not a complete phony like George.

Everybody's talkin at me
I can't hear a word they're sayin
Just drivin round in Jon Voight's car

Any hot chicks out there want to get bisy just let me know. I got it all . They call me "the Mutt" and with all that implies. And that ain't dirt in my eye.

"i don't think i could do it. they say you always remember your first time. i don't want to be remembered, i want to be forgotten."

I just saw the episode with the other Frank Costanza (the handicapped parking/Drake episode). Very disorienting, having seen the reshot episode many times. MIA: the way Jerry Stiller says "de-li-ver" when he instructs George to pick up the wheelchair.

"The Switch" was on the other day. I think it might be the greatest episode of any sitcom ever.

Yeah, they've been killing it all month.

I like these but one of them is a direct lift from a Star Trek: deep space nine episode I'm sure of it.

the jerry arc there is from a krzhizhonovsky story

I am familiar with the works of Sigizmund Krzhizhanovsky.

reminded me of "House of Leaves"

George stares into the abyss, but the abyss shows no interest back.

that's from nietzsche

ugh this is even cornier than 'future seinfeld,' what is the compulsion to use an actual comedy classic as fodder for chin-scratching internet humor

this here is one of my favourite piece of 'internet humour':

Seinfeld Current Day ‏@Seinfeld2000
Newmen comit suicide

lol

wait what's chin scratching about it -- it's pretty faithful to the Seinfeld template and free of deliberate misspellings.

George and Jerry's 'Comedians In Cars' reunion special http://comediansincarsgettingcoffee.com/george-costanza-the-over-cheer

This was not funny at all.

I've been enjoying Comedians in Cars, though. Not the Tina Fey one as much as the others, but I'm a regular viewer. And i was ina Starbucks next to a guy watching it on his laptop, which makes me think it's taking off.

so wait is 'Goerge Costanza' in character in this episode of Comedians in Cars?

i'll never know!

xp I think the concept is that it starts out as the actors but kind of time-warps into the characters when they enter the restaurant. Man I fucking hate Jerry Seinfeld.

painful

the seinfeld reunion season of curb is so great, larry and jerry really were so great together.

A joke about shitting in your host's house at a party... just off yourself you hack.

Just watched it--yeah, that didn't work at all.

not the wallersteins

yeah man that totally sucked. and one thing about the series is the retro car porn is sort of pathetic in the context, he is so boring now yet senselessly rich. it's sad to see how little enjoyment he gets out of life

i think he enjoyed the pacer

The thing about its marketing was pretty funny

yes they're in character to answer the question. the latest (3rd) series of CICGC has been less funny this time around imo; the earlier Brian Regan,
Alec Baldwin and Carl Reiner ones were side splitting. it's pretty popular now though it seems

He's dressed as George Costanza in the car, making George-style "uh-huh. uh--huh."s in the car, is rugless throughout, and captioned and introduced as 'George Costanza.'

yeah i picked up a couple of those subtle clues

i didn't realize JA was known for wearing a little hair hat now

he is so boring now yet senselessly rich. it's sad to see how little enjoyment he gets out of life

I like it in the Todd Barry one where he's shocked when Todd tells him he carries his laundry down the street in a big dirty clothes bag. There's a weird pause and Jerry kind of meekly says "I mean... I used to do that."
