Seinfeld: Classic or Dud

:*-(

We didn't have them in Britain and even if we did I'm too young. Not trying to set McDonalds to rights retroactively from 20 years in the future. Just found it a bit quizzical is all.

they don't ever drink on seinfeld

they eat instead

Seinfeld is kind of Cheers in a diner (and an apartment) so yeah not as much drinking. i'm sure if they actually followed Jerry's life as a comedian outside of occasional stand-up segments more than a handful of times that wouldn't have been the case.

schnapps is the key to elaine's or jerry's lockbox tho

good call

I think my particular favourite episode would have to be the Merv Griffin show,

Just watched this episode the other day, I couldn't breath with laughing. Seriously one of the all time best ones.

who's dancin?

huh?

you want me to get it started? alright, i'll get it started

also in that one they get a woman drunk to play with her toys

xp

JERRY: I didn't know she had a pony. How was I to know she had a pony? Who figures an immigrant's going to have a pony? Do you know what the odds are on that? I mean, in all the pictures I saw of immigrants on boats coming into New York harbor, I never saw one of them sitting on a pony. Why would anybody come here if they had a pony? Who leaves a country packed with ponies to come to a non-pony country? It doesn't make sense!.. am I wrong?

I might be one of those people who references Seinfeld way too often.

would anyone be interested in polling the seinfeld seasons? like, each season for best episode? or would it make ile too much like ilm?

i would participate in these threads with joy tbh. give me an excuse to re-watch eps i don't remember. i love seinfeld so much.

i would enjoy this v much too but i don't want to turn into clog ile after complaining about ilm being clogged!

"I'm down baby! Put me down!"

Do it Jordan! :)

big salad episode is my favorite episode of all time

imagine that... her taking credit for your big salad

- big salad
- kramer & steven dennison & the murder of the drycleaner
- newman dumped the girl that jerry is dating
- elaine being stalked by the mechanical pencil guy

Anybody know what kind of computer Seinfeld has in the episode where Lloyd and George are competing to sell uh... computers out of the garage? When kramer makes a front porch in the hall. It was strange looking and I'm very curious.

ah the you mean the computer that looks like a flat folding tablet screen with a strange large empty area underneath the screen. erm i dunno

was it this?

- newman dumped the girl that jerry is dating

elaine: maybe there's more to newman than meets the eye?
jerry: no -- there's less

Yes Ste, thank you! What an odd thing that is.

Jerry: All I could think of was when I was looking at her face was; Newman found this unacceptable.

:-)

jerry's twitter account got hacked? https://twitter.com/jerry_seinfeld

it's good to know me and jerry both follow john mayer

Don Tyson, America's Chicken King, has died. Seinfeld fans will know him best as Don Tyler, head of Tyler Chicken. Alcoholic Chicken!

Classic; but I never found the characters funny. The situations, yes, Kramer, no.

Kramer is awful

WHAT. Horseshit....Kramer and George top two characters on the show. Come on, Kramer modeling for Calvin Klein "his buttocks are sublime".

I have to say the same for the rest of the cast, tho. I always thought Jerry was rude, pretentious and annoying; George is one-dimensionally pathetic... Elaine wasn't so bad. Like I said, the situations and ordeals they were given were ingenious but I was never satisfied with the way they handled them nor and never found their dialog particularly funny.

I just loved the "Oh yeah! That happens/I think that/all the time" (like the age old: does she have one dress, or dozens of the same dress question)situations, and what mostly motivated me to watch another episode if my grammar isn't totally off by this far in the sentence.

the fuck kinda revive is this

i think the show should have been called Costanza...because i always found jerry the most useless of all the characters.

The Opposite = best episode of an American sitcom possibly *ever*?

This behind the scenes doc kicked off a big Seinfeld revival for me a year or so back:

I always thought Jerry was rude, pretentious and annoying; George is one-dimensionally pathetic

isn't this the point of the characters (and the show!) rather than a flaw?

and not sure what multi-dimensionally pathetic would even entail!

yeah "The Opposite" is one of the best things ever

xxxp

even multiverse george is pathetic?

i kind of want to see a version of hamlet where wayne knight plays everyone.
