10:26. Whether it's Seinfeld, Friends, Everybody Loves Raymond, or iCarly there is this strange recurring joke in Sitcoms where friends & neighbors just show up at the main character's house or apartment unannounced & take advantage of the host's food & possessions all of the time.
Attention Dos Cavazos !!! The Susie!! The Susie!! " Believe it or not George is not home, please leave a message at the beep". This is an essential episode!!
As a reminder: you have to hit a bunch of key characters before the finale: Art Vandelay: "The Stakeout," "The Boyfriend," "The Red Dot," "The Cadillac," "and "The Puerto Rican Day." His most iconic appearance is, of course, "The Boyfriend," though he still shines in "The Stakeout" and "The Cadillac." Although, I am certain Kacee will not realize he has already appeared twice. And this is a top priority character for the finale. Poppie (continued): "The Couch" and "The Doorman." And for a bit of lore, "The Doorman" is also where Kramer comes up with The Bro. Babu: "The Cafe" and "The Visa." "The Visa" also resolves a plot point from "The Virgin," so you might want to throw that in, too. Mabel Choate (continued): "The Cadillac." Although, you have _met_ Mabel, Kacee does not realize it or know her full significance. Mr. Pitt: ...pretty much every Season 6 episode you skipped. The critical episode is "The Diplomat's Club." Jackie Chiles (continued): "The Maestro" and "The Friar's Club." Lt. Joe Bookman: "The Library." Peterman (continued): ...a bunch. "The Secret Code" is a personal favorite. He got his start in "The Understudy," which references "The Fusilli Jerry" twice. The Seinfeld family (continued): ...a bunch more! "The Kiss Hello" and "The Doodle" capture all of them pretty well. And "The Kiss Hello" has an iconic moment. Kenny Bania (continued): "The Soup," "The Secretary," and "The Fatigues." Mr. Morgan (continued): "The Pledge Drive," "The Diplomat's Club," and "The Mom and Pop Shop." If I recall correctly, he is not essential to the finale, but he is memorable, especially in "The Diplomat's Club." Lloyd Braun (continued): "The Non-Fat Yogurt" and "The Gum." There is also a small carryover from "The Gum" in "The Bottle Deposit." And be sure to go back to finish Play Now with "The Voice" and show off Kruger with "The Slicer." For other fun episodes: You might want to finish up Rachel with "The Raincoats." While not big like those listed above, she is Jerry's most serious relationship, and you have already seen every other episode she is in. For a bit of lore, we can throw in "The Conversion" and "The Cheever Letters." For actions the gang did not have to answer for, there is "The Old Man." "The Bris" is a riot. "The Handicap Spot" was the introduction of Frank Costanza. You might want to finish off George's classic Yankee moments with (in addition to several above) "The Millennium," "The Comeback," and "The Muffin Tops." Although, to full appreciate "The Muffin Tops," you will want to see "The Wig Master" and "The Van Buren Boys" first. And just as a bit of fun, "The Andrea Doria."
The famous “backwards episode” 😂 There was so much hype about this episode when it debut. They played it up with the lollipop getting bigger as they went further back. 😂
This is by far one of my top 5 episodes. I just enjoy the writing in this episode so much. Watching the lollipop Kramer has rebuild itself over time just tickles me for some reason.
When Jerry “meets” Kramer at the end, he calls him “Kessler.” This is a callback to when Jerry accidentally called Michael Richards “Kessler” in the pilot episode, which can still be seen today. The character of Kramer was based on Larry David‘s real life neighbor Kenny Kramer. When creating the series, David purposely called the character to “Kessler” in order to avoid his neighbor seeking publicity. However, David changed it to “Kramer” just before filming the pilot bc he thought it sounded better. But Jerry slipped up and said “Kessler” in the pilot and they kept it in. Then hilariously referenced the mistake here.
The scene where Jerry moved in was the retcon of how Kessler became Kramer. In the pilot, Kramer is called Kessler a single time. His name was changed to Kramer in episode two.
This would have been a decent episode in linear order, but it became top tier the way they did it. I remember being so into this episode waiting to see what happened to lead the scene you were watching. So inventive.
My favorite line is when George says, You know how birthday parties are. You look around and think, these are my friends? And Jerry says, Every day is my birthday
In the 'Yada, Yada, Yada' section of the DVD pack you can listen to audio commentary of the Seinfeld actors, producers and writers during the episodes. One of them tells that this epidose is inspired by a Harold Pinter's play, also known as 'Betrayal'.
This one was a classic, I remember for at least a week they were advertising that this was the first time in TV history that a whole show would go in reverse. Really glad you saw this one. If you're looking for recommendations I have previously mentioned the 2 part episode The Trip I believe it was either the start of season 4 or 5 when Julia Louise Drefuss was on maternity leave as she was not in the episodes, but it is hilarious what happens the Kramer, Jerry, and George get into during an LA trip.
The Bro, The Raincoats parts 1 & 2 , The Red Dot, The Chinese Woman, The Opera, The Conversion, The Switch, The Non fat yogurt, The Understudy, The Pony Remark.
Really at this point I feel like you guys should just watch everything you haven't watched already from season 3 on. I feel like you've watched more than half of them.
This episode is a teachable moment in writing. its incredibly creative. Thats why Seinfeld was what it was, a 70 milliion viewer final episode, which would probably be a 100m+ today. They had the best writers, and Jerry and Larry were geniuses at it. In fact for any business, the capacity to plan out things with such detail... it can make you reach. Even coding with the amount of scope and amplitude of vision for the project, millions and billions for those who have that capacity.
They f'd this up every way possible. They meet characters who were long ago introduced on the show. Watching out of order. Not understanding the episodes build on each other. Not understanding that entire seasons go in order. It's absurd.
I've seen a few Seinfeld purists label this too gimmicky, but I *loved* it and it obviously stands out. Same thing goes for the final two scenes - some people think bringing back Susan is a cheap move and that the Mystery of -Kessler- Kramer should never be explained, but I thought it was just the right level of seriousness for How It All Started :) You should go back to "The Subway" and "The Hot Tub" for two all-time great internal monologue voiceover sequences! I'm also SO LOOKING FORWARD to "The Burning" coming up soon in season 9.
Pinter is played by Shaun Toub, also known as the co-creator of the Iron Man suit at the start of the MCU. And rather more regrettably, Uncle Iroh (pronounced ee-roh) in M. Night Shyamalan's Last Airbender film.
They've long ago jumped the shark and blew the entire way of viewing Seinfeld. They are so dense they couldn't figure out it was an episode literally in reverse.
Writers many times write a story, tv show, or movie backwards. If you come up with a great idea and the ending first you almost have to go backwards. This episode is very good as you guys note.
I've seen other channels TRY to do this with Seinfeld episodes. You guys do it much better, as far as edits and reactions go. I look forward to seeing more.
One of the last great episodes. Great that you're doing the previous Sue Ann Mishke episode! Seems like you're hitting all the stuff that comes up in the finale. PS: For that reason, definitely hit "The Doorman"!
I didn't care for it when it first aired because it was so different to the show's formula. Since then I've come to really appreciate how funny and well done it actually is.
I think they had to get special permission to do the credits backwards. There’s a particular set of rules with regard to the way the credits/billing are shown. Maybe even contractual obligations that have to be worked out.
While every episode is worth watching, just thinking of some great scenes from The Caddy with the great Jackie Chiles Character. Also has Sue ellen character from this episode in it as well
I love how many phenomenal Seinfeld fans worldwide flock to Dos Cavazos to remember the great episodes we watched with our parents laughing in the living room TV as kids. Great memories.

The finale sucked!
I truly hope you wind up just watching every episode before the finale lol theres no bad episodes!
Farfal disagrees!
Never
Gonna
Happen
That would take about 3.5 years bro.
@@Ian-Omega Id be happy with that lol
The finale is terrible. Avoid.
Attention Dos Cavazos !!!
The Susie!! The Susie!!
" Believe it or not George is not home, please leave a message at the beep".
This is an essential episode!!
Yeah, but he didn't sleep with both of them.
Yes…. And the secret code
Yes
Yes
Agreed. There are serval essentials, this is one of the best!
This episode is a parody of a famous play Betrayal by Harold Pinter. It tells the story of an extramarital affair told backwards.
Really? I am a huge Seinfeld fan and I did not know that.
It's funny how you mention that as the guy who slept with Elaine and was soon to become Sue Ellen's husband, is named Pinter.
And in the play, the main character's name is Jerry.
All foreshadowed 'Memento'
Good old Retnip Dlorah

Kudos to you! I strongly agree. Definitely crucial viewing (as are the vast majority of episodes)
God bless you…
Very thorough! What about Crazy Joe Davola though?

This is by far one of my top 5 episodes. I just enjoy the writing in this episode so much.
Watching the lollipop Kramer has rebuild itself over time just tickles me for some reason.
Yes my favorite part lol 😆
One of my fav episodes. I love the lollipop scenes too. It was as if the director wanted us to notice it on purpose.
"I'll have the Clams Casino" 😂 "I'm all awkward pauses" 🤣
'REPARATIONS' is George's best line!
When Jerry “meets” Kramer at the end, he calls him “Kessler.” This is a callback to when Jerry accidentally called Michael Richards “Kessler” in the pilot episode, which can still be seen today.

Kessler was Larry Davids real neighbor, too.
This would have been a decent episode in linear order, but it became top tier the way they did it. I remember being so into this episode waiting to see what happened to lead the scene you were watching. So inventive.
ALL OF THEM!!!!!
The couch and The Oldman. They’re gold jerry Gold!!
My favorite line is when George says, You know how birthday parties are. You look around and think, these are my friends? And Jerry says, Every day is my birthday
The Sniffing Accountant! As an accountant myself, it’s great.
I’m hip to the whole scene! 😂
@ Here’s to feeling good all the time!
I put on my sweatshirt!
The Clark bar didn't come out!
The greatest, dumbest couple fight ever!!!
Me too, and I need my tequila and peyote buttons to get through it.
As an accountant, I agree! Every time I hear Jerry's bit at the end of the episode, I crack up
Please watch “The Library”! Great episode with a lot of memorable quotes
Can't Stand Ya!
The English Patient and The non fat Yogurt
The Big Salad... make it happen, lol.
In the 'Yada, Yada, Yada' section of the DVD pack you can listen to audio commentary of the Seinfeld actors, producers and writers during the episodes. One of them tells that this epidose is inspired by a Harold Pinter's play, also known as 'Betrayal'.
Add "The Big Salad" to your list (Season 6, Episode 2)
And let me tell you something about zip codes: They're meaningless. Bwahahahahahahaha!
This whole episode is a parody of a play by Harold Pinter called Betrayal.
This one was a classic, I remember for at least a week they were advertising that this was the first time in TV history that a whole show would go in reverse. Really glad you saw this one. If you're looking for recommendations I have previously mentioned the 2 part episode The Trip I believe it was either the start of season 4 or 5 when Julia Louise Drefuss was on maternity leave as she was not in the episodes, but it is hilarious what happens the Kramer, Jerry, and George get into during an LA trip.
This ranks among my top episodes of the series
Must watch episodes: The Comeback, Non-Fat Yogurt (Jerry’s dropping f-bombs), and The Cadillac (Marisa Tomei wants to date George).
"The Doll" and "The Gum" are two favorites.
I think they said "The Gum" has the record for most scenes in a 22-min Seinfeld episode.
15:04 It is linear, just in reverse.
Have you watched the episode with the IQ test? The Dream Cafe and Babu Bhatt are very important to the finale.
For those who have the DVD box sets it gives you the option to watch it in normal time progression instead of reverse
oh wow cool!
Any good?
@@jerodast Yeah it's fine, at least they didn't have the popups showing the time the reverse does.
Three episodes that flow chronologically; THE KEYS, THE TRIP (pt.1) and THE TRIP (pt.2) ~ hilarious trip to Hollywood!
A lot of people hate this episode but I love it. Have never seen any other show do this! Genius I say!! 😁
"The Doll" S7 E17
The Bro, The Raincoats parts 1 & 2 , The Red Dot, The Chinese Woman, The Opera, The Conversion, The Switch, The Non fat yogurt, The Understudy, The Pony Remark.
Aw man, The Conversion 😂
Great recommendations!
"That Jerry, a funny guy. Funny guy I yell ya!"
You can stuff your sorrys in a sack, mister.
You gotta watch The Pen!!! You gotta watch The Library!!!
Really at this point I feel like you guys should just watch everything you haven't watched already from season 3 on. I feel like you've watched more than half of them.

One of the most clever episodes.
The lolipop scenes are so fucking good
Woohoo! Thanks guys!!!
You have to see "The Caddy" where we first meet Sue Ellen Mishke, the bride in this episode.
They f'd this up every way possible. They meet characters who were long ago introduced on the show. Watching out of order. Not understanding the episodes build on each other. Not understanding that entire seasons go in order. It's absurd.
Don't worry. It's next. See what they did there?
@@kbrewski1cry more
Been waitin for this episode for five months. My all time favorite episode from this show
Might want to hit up The Cafe before the finale
Def one of my favorite episodes. It is cool when they parody or make reference to other works.
The Subway is also a great episode👍👍👍👍
and topical... " the Ukraine is weak.... it is not weak"
@cedric13 "Hey, we're playing a game here, buddy"
His mudder was a mudder
Definitely need to see The Café before finale ☝🏻
They need to see EVERY episode before the finale.
I've seen a few Seinfeld purists label this too gimmicky, but I *loved* it and it obviously stands out. Same thing goes for the final two scenes - some people think bringing back Susan is a cheap move and that the Mystery of -Kessler- Kramer should never be explained, but I thought it was just the right level of seriousness for How It All Started :)
You should go back to "The Subway" and "The Hot Tub" for two all-time great internal monologue voiceover sequences! I'm also SO LOOKING FORWARD to "The Burning" coming up soon in season 9.
Pinter is played by Shaun Toub, also known as the co-creator of the Iron Man suit at the start of the MCU. And rather more regrettably, Uncle Iroh (pronounced ee-roh) in M. Night Shyamalan's Last Airbender film.
I remember there being a lot of publicity about this episode before it aired, so there wasn't much confusion on how it played out 😀
An 8 year old could figure it out within 5 minutes.
@@kbrewski1 I agree that it is easy to follow, for some reason the studio thought it needed to be heavily promoted.
The Dealership Episode with David Puddy and George!
I love your Seinfeld reactions!
Yes !!! So glad ya did this episode
this episode is so good, an instant classic
You should watch the very 1st episode before the finale there is a small reference in the finale tied to the 1st episode
They've long ago jumped the shark and blew the entire way of viewing Seinfeld. They are so dense they couldn't figure out it was an episode literally in reverse.
You want to put them through THAT? It's not worth it.
I remember watching this one when it aired as new episode. The commercials call week promoted the backwards order theme
The Muffin Tops is a good one. It has the Kramer bus tour side plot.
Thank you. ive been asking for this episode. I can die happy now
Writers many times write a story, tv show, or movie backwards. If you come up with a great idea and the ending first you almost have to go backwards. This episode is very good as you guys note.
The Gum is a classic George episode, where he goes crazy trying to prove he is NOT crazy. The Jerry and Kramer side stories are also hilarious.
Wow. I had completely forgotten about this episode.
George yelling reparations!!! and " funny guy, right here!!" on the plane always gets me 🤣
I don't remember Memento being this funny...
Seinfeld did Memento before Christopher Nolan did.
But Harold Pinter wrote "The Betrayal" before this episode.
The Label Maker is a must-watch
I've seen other channels TRY to do this with Seinfeld episodes. You guys do it much better, as far as edits and reactions go. I look forward to seeing more.
Speaking of Newman and girlfriend's. How about the one where Newman dated the girl jerry was currently dating
"The Barber"
Schnapps is the key to the Vault! Once you know that nothing is safe!!
One of the last great episodes. Great that you're doing the previous Sue Ann Mishke episode! Seems like you're hitting all the stuff that comes up in the finale. PS: For that reason, definitely hit "The Doorman"!
So happy you did this one
its in my top 5 fav eps, its so genius.
The Babu restaurant episode.
Hopefully we get to see the Bookstore reaction.
I bet Quentin Tarantino directed this episode 😆
I think this episode was probably influenced by Pulp Fiction. I think this would’ve been a year or two after that came out.
The Statue, The Pilot, The Trip, The Opera, The Voice, The Slicer.
This episode, The Betrayal, is a homage to the style of a 1978 Harold Pinter play
called The Betrayal, and is linearly told backwards.
I remember when they were promoting this episode when it first aired and they made a big deal about it being a backwards episode.
I didn't care for it when it first aired because it was so different to the show's formula. Since then I've come to really appreciate how funny and well done it actually is.
The Car Dealership
This episode you can watch the right way round. It's a very funny episode I too laughed my socks off
I think they had to get special permission to do the credits backwards. There’s a particular set of rules with regard to the way the credits/billing are shown. Maybe even contractual obligations that have to be worked out.
If you are going to watch the finale then you need to familiarize yourself with all the side characters for reference!!
They are too lazy, disorganized and confused.
Reviewing Seinfeld is like reviewing Led zeppelin songs.
Put them all in a hat and you're going to get a gem of an episode or a song.
This must be the only episode I've never seen.
Love this segment you guys do with Seinfeld guys, you guys are awesome! Watch every episode please! I wouldn’t mind! 🙌
I love this episode, it was so clever!
While every episode is worth watching, just thinking of some great scenes from The Caddy with the great Jackie Chiles Character. Also has Sue ellen character from this episode in it as well
I love how many phenomenal Seinfeld fans worldwide flock to Dos Cavazos to remember the great episodes we watched with our parents laughing in the living room TV as kids. Great memories.
Wait until you see The Comeback episode
this episode got a lot of Promocion before it aired so we knew what to expect
I never saw any promotion and figured it out within the first 2 minutes.
I have absolutely no memory of this episode
If you liked the idea of backwards storytelling in this episode, you really MUST MUST MUST watch Memento
The way Kramer says "Really?" at the end is perfect
The Calzone is classic Steinbrenner. 7th season, I believe.
This episode represents how we feel when you watch the show out of order.
I mean who does that unless it's one big joke?
2:16 George is a New Yorker so timbs are a must
This episode is so weird to me because I've seen it dozens of times and I always remember it with the scenes in the right order.
THE BRIS & THE PEZ DISPENSER are a must!
YOU SLEPT WITH THE GROOM?!
Not sure the exact name of the episode but the one when George converts to Latvian Orthodox + Kramer having the Kavorka is a great episode!
Schnapp me! 😂
One of my favorite episodes absolute genius story telling
