Why am I only seeing this in 2024? These people are the epitome of funny. I’m laughing harder now than I did watching every episode for the first time!
Me too. Anyone else feel uncomfortable with Michael slapping Julia's face, grabbing her shoulders, saying her was going to hit her with a 4x4 and hitting Jerry in the back? I think Michael Richards is an amazing talent, and maybe my upbringing is influencing my perception, but I feel that they gave him too much grace for the way he touched the other actors. His redemption in Curb is amazing though.
Even here in Australia, Seinfeld is still on every night. While channel surfing, (although I've watched every episode 5 times), I always stop and watch a memorable moment. You just can't not! The best sitcom ever!
..and the fact he was able to memorize that entire speech with such short notice and to be performed like that. Jerry said the shots of him in awe we not him acting in reaction to Geo's story, but instead reacting him in real life to Jason nailing that speech first try in front of a live audience.
What`s weird is that although the show made them rich for life and the biggest comic actors in modern times, it also killed off their careers. None of the shows like "Christine" got much attention. Michael and Julia was already accomplished comedians when they joined Seinfeld. But after Seinfeld, no one was able to separate them from "Seinfeld". The same happened to everyone on Cheers except for Kelsey Grammer who continued being Frasier. If they had done the same with George, Kramer and Elaine it would probably have been successful.

I am glad they did a piece about Jerry Stiller. The Core Four are what makes the jambalaya, The Jambalaya. But Stiller adds that extra special spice to the mix that makes the dish unique. People know what I mean when I say "Serenity now!"
There are few joys in life. Seinfeld was always an absolute joy to me. Until tonight I never knew this roundtable existed. I watched it straight through. Perfect. Thank you.
I saw him at the Beacon Theatre a couple of months ago doing standup and I realize how many years he's been a friend in my head. It is what I turn on tv when i've had a trauma or a really bad day.
Jason's take on why he always lost to Michael Richards was awesome. What an awesome humility he has. You could tell Michael was touched too. Having said that they really could have thrown him one!😂
When I need a laugh, am in a funk, having a bad day, just watched something pretty heavy, or just because I absolutely love the show, I always turn to Seinfeld!!
My 6 year old daughter watches Seinfeld with me, a few months back she was eating some pretzels and said 'these pretzels are making me thirsty'...whether she dropped that line intentionally or not it is to date my proudest moment!!🤣
This is the truth: There could be Seinfeld without Kramer There could be Seinfeld without Elaine But there could be no Seinfeld without George. Curb proves this.
Well was this before or after his N word shout attack ? That episode of real life cosmo Kramer was sadly in character lol was this really after that? Makes sense if he's quiet, he's lucky they would even let him up on stage
Just like Ricky Gervais in The Office. Or Extras. Go watch that episode with Kate Winslett. Christ was that funny. I frggin couldnt watch the rest of the show it was so hilarious. Talking about her oompa loompas.
I always felt like they missed an easy home run on the series finale by not making it a redux of Wizard of Oz for a 90-min show. Kramer is the prototype Scarecrow, as is George for the Cowardly Lion. Elaine is a brunette with long curly hair like Dorothy and the irony of her hating dogs would have jokes galore with Dorothy & Toto. Newman as the Wizard, a lot of prior characters could fill the roles of Glenda and the Wicked Witch. With so many other characters made famous that appeared in the actual finale filling in the dozens of roles Wizard of Oz would create. I always wished I could have been older than 20 when the show ended so that I could have flown to NYC and begged Larry David for 5 minutes bc I have had that in my head since halfway thru the show’s original airing run, as WoOz was my favorite film growing up.
By watching this video, I realized that the only one of the four actually playing a character is Michael Richards. Everyone else is just being themselves with a script. It looks like the script is very much written around who they were in real life except for Michael, who was a completely different person than the real life Kramer. So as they say early on in this video, they all gave Michael space to get into character before his scenes, because as actors themselves knew that he had to change his persona the most. They also say that Kramer was the character that changed the most through the seasons. If they had done the same with all four, the show would probably not be such a success as it was. They kind of made it easy for themselves by keeping the three characters very close to reality.
@@eltoro969 jason alexander is nothing like george in real life. george is a neurotic liar scared of commitment and bitter about the world. jason is a successful actor in tv and theater. he is happily married, has several kids, and is by all appearances much more confident and friendly than his character. julia is also happily married, has children, is a successful actor, and much more outgoing and less bitter than elaine. the only one who is close to his character is jerry. they said michael’s character changed so much because he used to play dumb, then switched to playing smart, and everyone else was dumb. it wasn’t because they said michael portrayed his character differently than his own personality.
I'm currently re-watching the series on Netflix and I have to say... it is one of the best sitcoms ever made. I am happy to connect with each character and the fact that they did their best to incorporate all 4 of them as much as they could is quite apparent, and much appreciated. The team (cast, producers, writers, etc) deserve all the accolades and awards they've received. Kudos to all.
Michael Richards is a fantastic actor....I always thought he was playing himself when Kramer was on set...but his demeanor here is sophisticated and laid back. Amazing!
Forgotten? NEVER. I visit your apartment a dozen or more times each week. I know most all the scripts by heart, but will never not stop by for a much needed visit!
These days youngins are so caring and compassionate towards everyone theyd call this discrimination, no one can say anything like this anymore, not as an individual anyway but as a group they are ruthless little people caring and compassion turns to rage.
Kramer would also be the only person to not see that he’s being treated special because they thought he was mentally challenged. Kramer thought the whole time that everybody is just being nice to him 😅😅
Agreed! Dunno how they ever got an episode in the can with her around....lol. loved the bloopers when shakes all over trying to reset...and then seconds later....busts up laughing. Michael doesn't even do anything!!! That's just people laughing and loving each other! An example of the best...of human beings....IMHO!
My favourite moment was the totally sincere compliment Jason Alexander pays Michael Richards towards the end of this programme. He's so totally right. There is only one physical comedian and comparisons are futile. Kramer was an entire orchestra. Everyone agrees by this point this always will be the greatest TV comedy ever made. I've watched just about every bloopers reel and documentary of the show and still keep hoping more new footage will be released some day. Thank you for making this show, Jerry Seinfeld and Larry David. Everything you got post this show, you deserved.
I don't need to declare this the best sitcom, ever, to enjoy it fully. I can try to do that with songs and they'll keep getting jostled around as I listen to others, slotting into sub-genres.
Gotta love what utterly different people they are from their characters. Jerry and Larry just play themselves, Julia's exaggerating, but maaan, Jason never plays a guy who isn't a huge jerk, and Michael never plays anything small and subdued.
Thank you, guys, for the show-this and those nine years of laughter. Julia, I once stood next to you as you saved the life of a sixteen-year-old girl who had previously overdosed because she had just found out that her mother died back in the East Bay; that girl was from that area. As I said to you, "I met her in Berkeley, and she just lost her mother to a drug overdose." This was in front of the Metro 4 theaters, on State Street, in Santa Barbara, California. You, your husband, and two kids were going to see a movie there on that smoky fall night. You saved her life. And I just wanted to give up this information because I watched you take charge quickly and act like you were a paramedic yourself. And then, once you realized she was going to be okay, you dusted that off and walked into the theater with your family, like you were Kramer to tell that story about how calm he was taking the "pinky-toe" to the hospital and how that bus ride prior to that story included. You merely sloughed it off like just another thing you did daily; thank you for that.
@@brent81756, no dude, I actually witnessed it with my own two eyeballs and both ears. It was cool as hell. I didn't know what to do! And neither did most of us watching! And that's when Julia marched in and took over. It was amazing. And like I wrote above, once everything was handled, she walked away with her family like it was NOTHING. Hollywood celebrities get a lot of crap, and some of it for good reason, but Julia, at least on that night, was a very good human being.
My favorite scene ever on Seinfeld is the one where Kramer does a talk show in his apartment and suddenly with the cast sitting in as guests he takes a commercial break and starts eating potato chips and soda. Then, burps. That moment was so funny that I still think about it because he was so immersed eating.
@@kandykaye9981I often think of the Kramer show when I watch a podcast. Hosting a talk show in his apartment was a totally absurd idea at the time, and now it’s commonplace.
The greatest sitcom character of all time. George Costanza. And it was due to the genius of Jason Alexander. A character that has gone down as legendary in the history of television.
Frank (George`s dad) Elaine Kramer George Newman Jerry --- They all are so good it`s maybe pointless ranking them but for some reason, Elaine is the character I believe in the most and always have. She was on target from get go. The other characters needed more development through season 1-2 to become what we all love them for. Elaine was that person from the start.
Mine too. In the early years he was the most complete, complex and well-acted. He became a little too much of a cartoon by the end, but still hilarious.
I liked Kramer's physical comedy and how he always had the craziest ideas. However loved George and the way he was so petty and lazy, and the acting of it.
So glad I just happened on this tonight. 1 hour of smiles and LOLs. I loved the Seinfeld finale and love that Larry is openly contemptuous about the negative reviews. Good for him!
One of my favorites was when it was thought that George had died. Steinbrenner comes to Frank and Estelle's house to offer condolences. Frank starts yelling at Steinbrenner for trading Jay Bruner. He cites his stats and then yells, "you don't know what you are doing" So funny.
That Kramer scene drinking and smoking got me into tears after laughing louder than the first time I've seen that. I had to rewind and watch it over and over and laugh every time!
I can't believe Julia apologized so much for laughing. She had a contagious laugh and just couldn't help from bursting out laughing. It was one of my favorite parts of the show.
She was unprofessional and out of control killing comedic timing. And having to do takes over and over again. The other guys were doing all they could to stay in character, Richards being the hardest one, and she killed the momentum. She brought nothing to the show except laugh in every episode. Worst character by far. Family guy did a great spoof on how unfunny she was.
It would get annoying by the third or fourth take, especially if it happens every day and you have a lot of scenes to finish. Also, film was expensive in the nineties.
Eugene Levy was talking on Smartless about the effort he went to not to laugh when the camera was rolling. The first run of a comedic scene sometimes captures a spontaneity and authenticity that never comes again. Levy didn't want to ruin irreplaceable moments. It's okay once in a while, sure, but it's bad practice as a rule.
@@echoechoecho7142That's just bull. Her character was essential to the show and she nailed it. It's impossible to picture the show without all the main characters. There were no weak spots.
I've been watching this show since day 1, it's 2024, I still watch and it's just as funny. The absolute best comedic show that was ever on televison, I miss them so much.
...and we have passed on the greatest gift we could to our kids. Introducing them to Seinfeld.....They love the show so much it is on our tv like 6 hrs a day. They even drop the one liners constantly. I'd give anything to meet them in person. We've seen Jerry and Jason live on stage and we never got the chance for them to sign their books that we have. This would have been the greatest gift I could only wish for. They were all geniuses within their respective roles. 🙇♂️🙇♂️🙇♂️🙇♂️🙇♀️🙇🙇🙇🙇. Thank you for bringing so much laughter and happiness to our lives.
I can't believe how funny this sitcom was. So many great moments growing up. And now working as an adult, i spend my breaks watching so many clips from seinfeld, it still makes me laugh
The chemistry between this group and any other actor they brought in to play into the whole "Seinfeld" spiel was pure magic. Loved the show.. pure comedy.👍
I hope they realize that the morning after every show, for the first few years, the first thing you talked about when you got to the office in the morning, Did you see Sienfeld last nite! Then on you went into a multi person play by play and laughed all over again. God bless the whole bunch of em.
At a friend’s Dads funeral I signed the book “HE Pennypacker”. The next day his sister is looking through it and says “Who is this?!” and my buddy burst out laughing. Now when he needs to refer to me to his sister he says, “You know, HE Pennypacker.” 😂
I have never been able to vibe with the sitcom “Friends” … during its run and now even in reruns I have never sat thru an entire episode … (I’ve tried, but 10 mins in and I’m already reaching for the remote.) “Seinfeld” on the other hand will ALWAYS be my favorite/GOAT sitcom ever, and even though over time I have memorized every episode of Seinfeld, I still tune in and enjoy these guys at every opportunity! 😄
I keep watching this show even though I have memorized almost every line. And I still laugh every time even knowing what's coming. It's the same for me with Fawlty Towers. Truly the hallmark of a genius comedy.
No loss of chemistry. Every time I watch a show, I see something different. And Jason was correct, Michael Richards was genius. No one else could do what he created. Unique and hilarious.But, honestly, no one else could do George as well as Jason! Fabulous show, Seinfeld is my go to binge if I want to laugh, every time.
There are so many things not brought up given the time, I would have watched for another 3 hours. The dancing was brought up in the dvd extras interviews, with cast and writers, well worth a watch.
I feel so bad for Michael. He made a mistake at the Laugh Factory but it cost him so much more than it should have. He's such a vulnerable genuine guy and you can see that in his TV apology, but no one could separate him from comedy.
@@Bikewithlove fair point. And... Considering that he was trying to be edgy....while being I'm sure pissed. It's rude as hell to heckle someone. Especially when he's already an established actor and comedian. One could say...he took some risks and failed....badly...lol. not sure I would have brought up hanging lol... But I have a serious problem accepting that someone in Hollywood, liberal California.... wealthy actors... harboring some deep seeded racist beliefs. Hell, throwing up in late 70s and 80s ..it was Hollywood that taught me to be color blind. That MLK was right. That we are all the same and to love one another. Remember that back then....before they changed and decided to teach us that the white man is the devil and responsible for every single bad thing that's ever happened. That minorities have no agency offers their own lives and..if they are a minority and disagree with them and the left...then in fact...that minority person is a racist and white supremacist! Well....Hollywood, legacy media, one political party and movement, every federal agency, acidemia, education and the wealthy elites. Or, I just called that entire group...the Elite Ruling Class now. Or...the American aristocracy.
Being a Michael Richard's fan for a long time, seeing he was on Seinfeld is the reason I began even watching Seinfeld. Love all the characters on the show.
OMG SOOOOO many happy memories from this crew!! SO grateful to the Cast, Larry, Jerry and all the writers! Soooo clever. And so many memories that a lot of us could relate to our own lives. Plus some random shit we could never imagine till we saw it play out in front of our eyes!!! lol. A gamechanger in the Sit Com scene!! BIG
Michael Richards acting in Seinfeld is a masterpiece. No one could do it like he did. All cast members were extraordinary, but Michael Richard was on his own level. More you watch it, you realize all the details in his acts.
True. Although I think Elaine is the funniest, Michael Richards had to really ACT that character unlike the other three who basically just were themselves on set with a script.
@@NewYork81983 I thought he was compelling to listen to here, full of insight, and he was certainly not an invisible bore in UHF, one of the cult films of my youth.
@@damiensladekramer not one dimensional at all. His contradictive personality of ultra polite at the same time obliviously rude, his enigmatic lifestyle, the micro movements...Theres no other character like him
I remember Michael on Friday’s. He did a skit where he walked into a store shopping for jeans. He went into a dressing room and closed the door and a few minutes later somehow the door opened and he was upside down, legs in the air, trying to get the jeans on. It was the funniest thing I’ve ever seen. I was so excited later, when I heard he was on Seinfeld.
I would rank Golden Girls, Cheers, South Park, The Office (English) and The Simpsons above Seinfeld. mostly because of the writers. (I know The Office is very much an improv.) Although the Seinfeld episodes are funny as hell, it`s the characters playing off each other that makes it funny, rather than the script (lines) itself. That`s also the secret to why millions are still watching the episodes on Netflix today. We relate to the characters and fell in love with them because of the realness. The stories are often cut short with stupid endings that made no sense, almost like some bad high school sketch where someone dies in the end to finish the damn sketch on a high note. And that`s also probably what made Seinfeld stand out from Cheers, Friends, Fresh Prince etc.. Many of the things that happened on Seinfeld could have happened in real life. I love Seinfeld and watches the episodes on a weekly basis but if you strip down the work they did in the writing (and Jerry`s horrible acting) it`s clear it`s all character driven and not so much the writing.
@@eltoro969 I disagree. Seinfeld is exceptionally well-written. The intertwining narratives were brilliant. And the dialog was excellent too; between 1990-2005 or so, everyone knew catchphrases like "not that there's anything wrong with that," "no soup for you!", and so on.
To me it has always seemed like she has tried to remove herself from Elaine, maybe to get other acting jobs? Although Seinfeld made them rich and famous for life, it also ended their careers on that final episode. No one will ever be able to believe in them doing other roles. Specially when so many are still watching Seinfeld over 20 years on.. I wouldn`t be surprised it`s a bitter sweet feeling for Julia, Jason and Michael.
I’m glad they discussed the series finale. after seeing it when it first aired, I was a little disappointed because my expectations were so high considering it was one of the best shows EVER on television. but after watching it years later and several times later, it was in my opinion, a brilliant final episode. in the end the four of them locked together in a jail cell shows that they will never be separated. The last line about the button on the shirt brings the series full circle as the same routine was in the pilot episode. The closure was brilliantly done. Once the show took off like a rocket ship, the four of them were on a magazine cover and the layout was exactly the same way the Beatles were on their debut album in the States. The Seinfeld cast had conquered America and Larry David was George Martin.

This happened just months after Michael Richards' Laugh Factory incident, and when this aired it would've been on people's minds.

Why are you?
I can't beleive Jason Alexander didn't win an Emmy for playing George. He was the best one!
You're half right.
Amen!
He was technically playing Larry David as as George was jason impersonating Larry
He was so modest when he said why he thought he never got one. But make no mistake about it, Jason Alexander was a genius at playing George Costanza!
These pretzels, are making me thirsty! Every time he does that line makes me laugh so much 😂😂😂
Nothing makes me laugh more than this show, no matter how many times I've seen it
GEORGE (imitating a Marine Biologist while telling the story): “… the great fish… “
JERRY: “Mammal”
GEORGE: “Whatever”
CLASSIC overlooked line!!!
I always laugh at that bit. So good
Even here in Australia, Seinfeld is still on every night. While channel surfing, (although I've watched every episode 5 times), I always stop and watch a memorable moment. You just can't not!

By watching this video, I realized that the only one of the four actually playing a character is Michael Richards. Everyone else is just being themselves with a script. It looks like the script is very much written around who they were in real life except for Michael, who was a completely different person than the real life Kramer. So as they say early on in this video, they all gave Michael space to get into character before his scenes, because as actors themselves knew that he had to change his persona the most. They also say that Kramer was the character that changed the most through the seasons. If they had done the same with all four, the show would probably not be such a success as it was. They kind of made it easy for themselves by keeping the three characters very close to reality.
@@eltoro969 jason alexander is nothing like george in real life. george is a neurotic liar scared of commitment and bitter about the world. jason is a successful actor in tv and theater. he is happily married, has several kids, and is by all appearances much more confident and friendly than his character. julia is also happily married, has children, is a successful actor, and much more outgoing and less bitter than elaine. the only one who is close to his character is jerry. they said michael’s character changed so much because he used to play dumb, then switched to playing smart, and everyone else was dumb. it wasn’t because they said michael portrayed his character differently than his own personality.
Jason Alexander is there giving everyone wonderful compliments and he was the best one one the show.
His point is good though. Wayne Knight as George would have been in the ballpark, but no one else could have been Kramer.
Totally agree.
Jason playing George was the best. That made the show for me. 😸
Glad I found this. The greatest US TV show ever. The greatest ensemble cast ever. The funniest show ever. Case closed; no debate. Great memories
@rob-er5gi IYHO, that is.
Great show of course but there’s a lot of great others
What was missing from this was Elaine’s dance moves!😂😂
Stelllaaaaaaaaa!
It can only be described as a full body dry heave.
I'm currently re-watching the series on Netflix and I have to say... it is one of the best sitcoms ever made. I am happy to connect with each character and the fact that they did their best to incorporate all 4 of them as much as they could is quite apparent, and much appreciated. The team (cast, producers, writers, etc) deserve all the accolades and awards they've received. Kudos to all.
Michael Richards is a fantastic actor....I always thought he was playing himself when Kramer was on set...but his demeanor here is sophisticated and laid back. Amazing!
Julia laughing is the most beautiful sight.
is she drunk here?
@@jennjennjenn61992 I don't see it. SHe just looks happy. And gorgeous.
@@93Jubileeyes, Julia IS beautiful.
I hate hate her laugh ☹️
She ruined more scenes than anyone else with her constant laughing 😅
Forgotten? NEVER. I visit your apartment a dozen or more times each week. I know most all the scripts by heart, but will never not stop by for a much needed visit!
Did a whole episode where Kramer was mistaken for mentally challenged and it was genuinely hilarious and not offensive. That is remarkable.
After he'd had dental work, right?
These days youngins are so caring and compassionate towards everyone theyd call this discrimination, no one can say anything like this anymore, not as an individual anyway but as a group they are ruthless little people caring and compassion turns to rage.
Kramer would also be the only person to not see that he’s being treated special because they thought he was mentally challenged. Kramer thought the whole time that everybody is just being nice to him 😅😅
when Julia cracks up during the takes it's just the greatest
Yes it Looks like just pure Jubilation! LOL.
She was a genuine fan of the show as well as a star.
Yeah, she has the sexiest toes
Agreed! Dunno how they ever got an episode in the can with her around....lol. loved the bloopers when shakes all over trying to reset...and then seconds later....busts up laughing. Michael doesn't even do anything!!! That's just people laughing and loving each other! An example of the best...of human beings....IMHO!
I don’t know, but maybe we could’ve had another season if she hadn’t wasted so many takes.😂
My favourite moment was the totally sincere compliment Jason Alexander pays Michael Richards towards the end of this programme. He's so totally right. There is only one physical comedian and comparisons are futile. Kramer was an entire orchestra. Everyone agrees by this point this always will be the greatest TV comedy ever made. I've watched just about every bloopers reel and documentary of the show and still keep hoping more new footage will be released some day. Thank you for making this show, Jerry Seinfeld and Larry David. Everything you got post this show, you deserved.
Yes, and it was very nice to see and hear how greatful Michael was for Jason's kind words.❤️
I don't need to declare this the best sitcom, ever, to enjoy it fully. I can try to do that with songs and they'll keep getting jostled around as I listen to others, slotting into sub-genres.
Gotta love what utterly different people they are from their characters. Jerry and Larry just play themselves, Julia's exaggerating, but maaan, Jason never plays a guy who isn't a huge jerk, and Michael never plays anything small and subdued.
I liked the George character way more than Kramer.
Both were essential to making it work; but for me Jason Alexander really made that show. 🏆
Thank you, guys, for the show-this and those nine years of laughter.
Julia, I once stood next to you as you saved the life of a sixteen-year-old girl who had previously overdosed because she had just found out that her mother died back in the East Bay; that girl was from that area. As I said to you, "I met her in Berkeley, and she just lost her mother to a drug overdose." This was in front of the Metro 4 theaters, on State Street, in Santa Barbara, California. You, your husband, and two kids were going to see a movie there on that smoky fall night.
You saved her life. And I just wanted to give up this information because I watched you take charge quickly and act like you were a paramedic yourself. And then, once you realized she was going to be okay, you dusted that off and walked into the theater with your family, like you were Kramer to tell that story about how calm he was taking the "pinky-toe" to the hospital and how that bus ride prior to that story included.
You merely sloughed it off like just another thing you did daily; thank you for that.
Was this an ai generated story?
@@brent81756, no dude, I actually witnessed it with my own two eyeballs and both ears.
It was cool as hell. I didn't know what to do! And neither did most of us watching!
And that's when Julia marched in and took over. It was amazing. And like I wrote above, once everything was handled, she walked away with her family like it was NOTHING.
Hollywood celebrities get a lot of crap, and some of it for good reason, but Julia, at least on that night, was a very good human being.
I didn’t get people not liking the finale. I thought it was brilliant!!! They found a crazy law to bring back all of those outstanding characters.
The old lady with the marble rye lol
My favorite scene ever on Seinfeld is the one where Kramer does a talk show in his apartment and suddenly with the cast sitting in as guests he takes a commercial break and starts eating potato chips and soda. Then, burps. That moment was so funny that I still think about it because he was so immersed eating.
And it was kind of an early pilot for podcasts.
I dont recall that one, first half or last half of the show?
And he was so emersed in eating because in his mind the talk show was a grind and he needed a break 😅
@@kandykaye9981I often think of the Kramer show when I watch a podcast. Hosting a talk show in his apartment was a totally absurd idea at the time, and now it’s commonplace.
@@tylersimplot13Last part probably
With or without an Emmy, Jason was epic in this show. Definitely my favourite character.
The greatest sitcom character of all time. George Costanza. And it was due to the genius of Jason Alexander. A character that has gone down as legendary in the history of television.
Frank (George`s dad)
Elaine
Kramer
George
Newman
Jerry
--- They all are so good it`s maybe pointless ranking them but for some reason, Elaine is the character I believe in the most and always have. She was on target from get go. The other characters needed more development through season 1-2 to become what we all love them for. Elaine was that person from the start.
Mine too. In the early years he was the most complete, complex and well-acted. He became a little too much of a cartoon by the end, but still hilarious.
I liked Kramer's physical comedy and how he always had the craziest ideas.
However loved George and the way he was so petty and lazy, and the acting of it.
Oh man, I agree! Jerry Stiller was a comedic genius! I effin' loved Georges' dad. He nailed the character, or rather, he defined it!
That electrical socket scene was so amazing
So glad I just happened on this tonight. 1 hour of smiles and LOLs. I loved the Seinfeld finale and love that Larry is openly contemptuous about the negative reviews. Good for him!
"I'm out!," is my single favorite line I've ever heard on television. It's funny, and was absolutely perfectly delivered in every sense.
Jerry Stiller was the only reason why I watched king of Queens
Seinfeld is one of my comfort shows
Definitely
Everyday I watch. Sometimes hours
If you're open to it, I really recommend Frasier as well
My number 1
One of my favorites was when it was thought that George had died. Steinbrenner comes to Frank and Estelle's house to offer condolences. Frank starts yelling at Steinbrenner for trading Jay Bruner. He cites his stats and then yells, "you don't know what you are doing" So funny.
That Kramer scene drinking and smoking got me into tears after laughing louder than the first time I've seen that. I had to rewind and watch it over and over and laugh every time!
I can't believe Julia apologized so much for laughing. She had a contagious laugh and just couldn't help from bursting out laughing. It was one of my favorite parts of the show.
She was unprofessional and out of control killing comedic timing. And having to do takes over and over again. The other guys were doing all they could to stay in character, Richards being the hardest one, and she killed the momentum.
She brought nothing to the show except laugh in every episode. Worst character by far.
Family guy did a great spoof on how unfunny she was.
It would get annoying by the third or fourth take, especially if it happens every day and you have a lot of scenes to finish.
Also, film was expensive in the nineties.
Eugene Levy was talking on Smartless about the effort he went to not to laugh when the camera was rolling. The first run of a comedic scene sometimes captures a spontaneity and authenticity that never comes again. Levy didn't want to ruin irreplaceable moments. It's okay once in a while, sure, but it's bad practice as a rule.
@@echoechoecho7142I thought she was very funny on the show. And she is hilarious in the bloopers.
@@echoechoecho7142That's just bull. Her character was essential to the show and she nailed it. It's impossible to picture the show without all the main characters. There were no weak spots.
Nobody could do George like Jason. Best character of all time!
Favorite show of all time! STILL!
What a great show and cast. Plus all the extra characters were perfectly cast as well. A legend of a show.
The fact that Larry David talk’s in real life just like he does on curb kills me. it’s amazing blurs the lines between the man and the character
Except he has a very different behavior, if not personality.
That`s also the case in Seinfeld. Everyone was basically themselves except for Michael Richards.
@@eltoro969Don't tell Jason Alexander that he behaves like George in real life.
The bubble boy was epic
I've been watching this show since day 1, it's 2024, I still watch and it's just as funny. The absolute best comedic show that was ever on televison, I miss them so much.
To come across this is truly a blessing. Thank you.
My kids always scream, "YOU THINK YOU CAN KEEP ME OUTTA DEL BOCA VISTA?!!"
...and we have passed on the greatest gift we could to our kids. Introducing them to Seinfeld.....They love the show so much it is on our tv like 6 hrs a day. They even drop the one liners constantly. I'd give anything to meet them in person. We've seen Jerry and Jason live on stage and we never got the chance for them to sign their books that we have. This would have been the greatest gift I could only wish for. They were all geniuses within their respective roles. 🙇♂️🙇♂️🙇♂️🙇♂️🙇♀️🙇🙇🙇🙇. Thank you for bringing so much laughter and happiness to our lives.
The Junior Mint was the most hilarious!😊
I can't believe how funny this sitcom was. So many great moments growing up. And now working as an adult, i spend my breaks watching so many clips from seinfeld, it still makes me laugh
Love how Larry finished the finally on Curb last week. With Jerry and the mistrial... Larry says "That's how we should have ended Seinfeld" CLASSIC!
I watched it a month ago and it was so good. Loved how they tied in the Seinfeld finale
Man, this is such an elixir for a bad mood. Thanks!
The chemistry between this group and any other actor they brought in to play into the whole "Seinfeld" spiel was pure magic. Loved the show.. pure comedy.👍
I hope they realize that the morning after every show, for the first few years, the first thing you talked about when you got to the office in the morning, Did you see Sienfeld last nite! Then on you went into a multi person play by play and laughed all over again. God bless the whole bunch of em.
This content is GOLD, Jerry! GOLD!
At a friend’s Dads funeral I signed the book “HE Pennypacker”. The next day his sister is looking through it and says “Who is this?!” and my buddy burst out laughing.
Now when he needs to refer to me to his sister he says, “You know, HE Pennypacker.” 😂
Chinese Restaurant is a perfect example of doing something with nothing. Definitely a memorable episode.
All that is said… is true… but the genius of having all that happened in REAL TIME… waiting for a table for 20+ minutes is totally relatable!
Seinfeld is still the best show ever.
I have never been able to vibe with the sitcom “Friends” … during its run and now even in reruns I have never sat thru an entire episode … (I’ve tried, but 10 mins in and I’m already reaching for the remote.) “Seinfeld” on the other hand will ALWAYS be my favorite/GOAT sitcom ever, and even though over time I have memorized every episode of Seinfeld, I still tune in and enjoy these guys at every opportunity! 😄
I wished they showed a bit more of John O’Hurley’s (J. Peterman) bloopers. They are a laugh riot…
Totally agree, he had some GOLD lines. I’m quite partial to K-uger too.
He was one of my favorite characters. Also David Puddy.
........was Peterman even shown on this show ??
@@chrisfroelich-k3w When he slammed the door in Kramer's face
There it is, the success of this show, just watch Larry and Jerry, laughing at exactly the same bits, totally the same sense of humor😂😂😂
Elaine: "It shrinks?!"
One of the funniest lines to me with the way she scrunches up her face😂
Turned out to be the greatest comedy show ever. EVER!!
Randomly found this even though it was my most favourite show of all time!! This is GOLD JERRY, GOLD I TELL YOU!
I keep watching this show even though I have memorized almost every line. And I still laugh every time even knowing what's coming. It's the same for me with Fawlty Towers. Truly the hallmark of a genius comedy.
Fawlty Twats .....classic.
Elaine trapped in the crowded subway is my favorite scene of hers.
Mine is the pez dispenser in the theatre where the actress recognises Elaine's laugh. Gets me crying every time I watch it!
MOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOVE!!!!!
George was the show, so underrated 😂😂
What I love about this is when you think there's a gag coming and it turns into serious conversation.
No loss of chemistry. Every time I watch a show, I see something different. And Jason was correct, Michael Richards was genius. No one else could do what he created. Unique and hilarious.But, honestly, no one else could do George as well as Jason! Fabulous show, Seinfeld is my go to binge if I want to laugh, every time.
This was so great too see you all again in this format, & I still watch reruns to this day, every day!!! 😊 Best Comedy show ever!!!
This is very old. It’s from the dvd set
I could honestly watch them talk9ng about this stuff for hours. I think they should start a podcast.
I'm shocked that Elaine's dancing wasn't brought up. I laughed so hard watching that episode.
There are so many things not brought up given the time, I would have watched for another 3 hours. The dancing was brought up in the dvd extras interviews, with cast and writers, well worth a watch.
I feel so bad for Michael. He made a mistake at the Laugh Factory but it cost him so much more than it should have. He's such a vulnerable genuine guy and you can see that in his TV apology, but no one could separate him from comedy.
The punishment far out weighed the crime.... because as Jerry once said...."People...they are the worst!" Truer words have never been spoken! 😜
I give a lot of leniency to anyone who reacts to provocation. Michael was provoked.
He had to suffer with all those millions of dollars, at home, alone, no friends, no one to love him.😢
@@Bikewithlove fair point. And... Considering that he was trying to be edgy....while being I'm sure pissed. It's rude as hell to heckle someone. Especially when he's already an established actor and comedian. One could say...he took some risks and failed....badly...lol. not sure I would have brought up hanging lol... But I have a serious problem accepting that someone in Hollywood, liberal California.... wealthy actors... harboring some deep seeded racist beliefs. Hell, throwing up in late 70s and 80s ..it was Hollywood that taught me to be color blind. That MLK was right. That we are all the same and to love one another. Remember that back then....before they changed and decided to teach us that the white man is the devil and responsible for every single bad thing that's ever happened. That minorities have no agency offers their own lives and..if they are a minority and disagree with them and the left...then in fact...that minority person is a racist and white supremacist! Well....Hollywood, legacy media, one political party and movement, every federal agency, acidemia, education and the wealthy elites. Or, I just called that entire group...the Elite Ruling Class now. Or...the American aristocracy.
@ranlive1 what are you talking about? What does money have to do with that?
I loved the finale, I thought it was poetic justice for them to all end up in one cell together for eternity...
It was only one year should’ve been more tho with all those witnesses
They were s sentenced for one yr
I like that episode where Kramer recommended and brought George to a quack doctor which eventually made him Purple 😂😂😂
Being a Michael Richard's fan for a long time, seeing he was on Seinfeld is the reason I began even watching Seinfeld.
Love all the characters on the show.
OMG SOOOOO many happy memories from this crew!! SO grateful to the Cast, Larry, Jerry and all the writers! Soooo clever. And so many memories that a lot of us could relate to our own lives. Plus some random shit we could never imagine till we saw it play out in front of our eyes!!! lol. A gamechanger in the Sit Com scene!! BIG
The bloopers are funnier than sitcoms on tv today!
They brought back memories of that great, unrepeatable series
I’m always rewatching Seinfeld! Never get tired of watching it till this day
Right! Somehow, it never gets old!
One of the greatest TV shows ever. The chemistry was amazing ❤
I have watched the blooper reels several times and always crack up laughing with the cast members. Ten times in, they’re still hysterical!
Thank you, Mr David.
The best show ever! Greetings from Bolivia!
Michael Richards acting in Seinfeld is a masterpiece. No one could do it like he did. All cast members were extraordinary, but Michael Richard was on his own level. More you watch it, you realize all the details in his acts.
It's too bad he's an absolute invisible bore in any other setting, like this roundtable
True. Although I think Elaine is the funniest, Michael Richards had to really ACT that character unlike the other three who basically just were themselves on set with a script.
@@NewYork81983 I thought he was compelling to listen to here, full of insight, and he was certainly not an invisible bore in UHF, one of the cult films of my youth.
His performance is incredibly broad and frankly one dimensional compared to Jason Alexander's nuanced, internal genius.
@@damiensladekramer not one dimensional at all. His contradictive personality of ultra polite at the same time obliviously rude, his enigmatic lifestyle, the micro movements...Theres no other character like him
I remember Michael on Friday’s. He did a skit where he walked into a store shopping for jeans. He went into a dressing room and closed the door and a few minutes later somehow the door opened and he was upside down, legs in the air, trying to get the jeans on. It was the funniest thing I’ve ever seen. I was so excited later, when I heard he was on Seinfeld.
This show is THE greatest comedy ever
Maybe one of FIVE greatest shows, no better. You have overlooked other legendary shows with naive 90s agenda.
I would rank Golden Girls, Cheers, South Park, The Office (English) and The Simpsons above Seinfeld. mostly because of the writers. (I know The Office is very much an improv.)
Although the Seinfeld episodes are funny as hell, it`s the characters playing off each other that makes it funny, rather than the script (lines) itself. That`s also the secret to why millions are still watching the episodes on Netflix today. We relate to the characters and fell in love with them because of the realness.
The stories are often cut short with stupid endings that made no sense, almost like some bad high school sketch where someone dies in the end to finish the damn sketch on a high note. And that`s also probably what made Seinfeld stand out from Cheers, Friends, Fresh Prince etc.. Many of the things that happened on Seinfeld could have happened in real life.
I love Seinfeld and watches the episodes on a weekly basis but if you strip down the work they did in the writing (and Jerry`s horrible acting) it`s clear it`s all character driven and not so much the writing.
It was until It's Always Sunny.
@@eltoro969 I disagree. Seinfeld is exceptionally well-written. The intertwining narratives were brilliant. And the dialog was excellent too; between 1990-2005 or so, everyone knew catchphrases like "not that there's anything wrong with that," "no soup for you!", and so on.
You can tell that Julia really loved doing that show.
To me it has always seemed like she has tried to remove herself from Elaine, maybe to get other acting jobs? Although Seinfeld made them rich and famous for life, it also ended their careers on that final episode. No one will ever be able to believe in them doing other roles. Specially when so many are still watching Seinfeld over 20 years on.. I wouldn`t be surprised it`s a bitter sweet feeling for Julia, Jason and Michael.
@@eltoro969 not so sure it ended Julia's career, considering she won 10 Emmys after Seinfeld...
@@eltoro969huh? She’s been more successful after Seinfeld lol
@@eltoro969 Julia had a HUGE career after _Seinfeld._ What are you talking about?
Uncle Leo is one of my favorite minor characters and if a spinoff had been done that focused on the older generation, I would have watched.
It could be called "Hello"
@@kevinsheldrick917 Some great lines began "You know, your cousin Jeffrey ... "
I’m glad they discussed the series finale. after seeing it when it first aired, I was a little disappointed because my expectations were so high considering it was one of the best shows EVER on television. but after watching it years later and several times later, it was in my opinion, a brilliant final episode. in the end the four of them locked together in a jail cell shows that they will never be separated. The last line about the button on the shirt brings the series full circle as the same routine was in the pilot episode. The closure was brilliantly done.
Once the show took off like a rocket ship, the four of them were on a magazine cover and the layout was exactly the same way the Beatles were on their debut album in the States. The Seinfeld cast had conquered America and Larry David was George Martin.
It’s so beautiful seeing Michael laugh at the scene where he smacks his face on the box,Michael deserves much redemption
The worst thing about Seinfeld is that it ends
