About Seinfeld:
Seinfeld stars Jerry Seinfeld as a stand-up comedian whose life in New York City is made even more chaotic by his quirky group of friends who join him in wrestling with life's most perplexing, yet often trivial questions. Often described as "a show about nothing," Seinfeld mines the humor in life's mundane situations like waiting in line, searching for a lost item, or the trials and tribulations of dating. Co-starring are Julia Louis-Dreyfus as Jerry's ex-girlfriend and current platonic pal, Elaine Benes; Jason Alexander as George Costanza, Jerry's neurotic hard-luck best friend; and Michael Richards as Jerry's eccentric neighbor, Kramer.

Julia was PERFECT in this scene. “I’m a daaaaay person.”
I could hear that line 1000 times and lol every time
@@timin770 Same! 🤣
Laugh track
@@clich126Live studio audience
I dont find that funny
R.I.P. Peter Crombie (1952-2024)
What a loss for Seinfeld fans.
Condolences to his family🕊
That scene where Davola is bench-pressing and weeping with exaggerated sobs right after the scene where Elaine tells Jerry how interesting and well-balanced he is is gold.
That's basically me when I exercise. I weep because I have to exercise. I even cry if I have to walk anywhere.
@@jimreily7538 LOL. You must make quite an impression in the gym.
@@lonelyheroine "Oh my goodness, is that man alright?!?" "Huh?...Oh, him? Yeah, he's always like this on leg day."
The bench pressing scene is hilarious!
straight out of taxi driver
@@leotrejo9817 I don't recall Travis Bickle being an opera nut. He appreciated dirty movies (much to Betsy's chagrin) but never cried to the sounds of them while working out.
@@VinayakPande53
But like Joe Davola, Travis Bickle also went crazy.
What's the name of the opera song playing
And holding his arm over an open flame while laughing maniacally
Kudos to Julia for making the scene funny, because if you take her performance away (you can leave the lines exacly the same) this looks straight out from a horror movie.
Yes, after 16786 takes.
@@katerinapatiniotis5598... okay...
"I like to encourage intruders." That's your cue to GET OUTTA THERE
It's just 'Seinfeld' but I still get the shivers watching this scene...scary. Also, the whole hunting in your big bag for a pepper spray or some sort of defence when you need it the most is so relatable!
It was cherry Binaca.
Dating can be terrifying - and this episode proves it. Although Elaine's responses are humorous, her beau Joey is very 'Norman Batesy'. Notice the 'showering' reference...*shudder*
@@bar-jean Dating can be "terrifying" ? Ah - ha - ha - ha... Maybe you should stop dating creeps.
Hahaha it's New York for you!
Hahaha it's New York for you!
"I like to encourage intruders."
I think if I was just talking to new person and when I stopped by their apartment, I noticed the door wide open and then a wall full of pictures of me, I don’t think I’d walk in to take a closer look.
But the its her the almighty brainlessKow
She obviously did not really know this guy.
The words "I took them myself with a telephoto lens": that topped the cake.
Me neither. Omg he is creepy!
Only Seinfeld can make an otherwise scary situation hilarious
@Elbow
There's no laugh track; Seinfeld was filmed in front of a live audience.
Rest in peace Peter Crombie. Your few minutes of airtime in Seinfeld left a long lasting legacy.
One really knows that something has snapped inside his head when he started calling Elaine Nedda, Pagliacci’s wife.
Despite being a parody, this was actually very creepy and uncomfortable. It’s unusual for Seinfeld to take that angle. I think they didn’t expect this guy to be so good at being a psycho.
I wonder if this scene is why they switched actors for the same role. Because, his character would always come back to this scene.
@@mariopalos9238 They never switched Joe Davolla's actor. He was always played by Peter Crombie.
Seinfeld is considered a “dark” comedy…
@@Tony_Cardoza Right, I got him mixed up with another psycho named Brody. He was the bootlegger who ate an entire bag of candy.
It is a parody of horror movie scenes. The ~10 years series features 4 scummy, egotistical, self absorbed, entitled bigots.
what an actress julia is. she was the top contributor to this sitcom's success i think. i dont think any other actress could be so naturally and brilliantly funny like julia was.
She was so good in this role. They all were, but her and Jason Alexander were particularly great in their respective roles.
Top contributor?... Pleaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaase! 🤪
She was great, but I feel like we're getting a little carried away now lol
@@MinecraftMartin Exactly.
She was a producers note
"I'm a dayyy per-sonn..."
I remember seeing this for the first time. I absolutely cracked up with laughter & wonderment at the same time. Julia was SO good in Seinfeld & this was one of those special moments that she did so well, just SO funny & with those little individualistic mannerisms & expressions that she puts in, unlike any other comedy actress l can think of & that's because that's just herself coming through Elaine. I can't really pick a favourite character, they were all great in their own ways but Elaine was RIGHT up there.
Fear is our most primal emotion...
I know, I like to encourage Intruders…
what an incredible line lol.
I love at 0:25 like, she just wipes her hands on his shirt 😄
I think in any other context, this is very scary. The dead pan delivery, the fear in Elaine’s voice and the infatuation bordering on unhealthy obsession. Very creepy.
BORDERING? ha! he is full on stalking her and is obviously deeply imbalanced. there isn't any bordering, it passed the border miles ago! 😂😂
Yes...anytime I hear of another person who is "well adjusted and has a grip on life" I instantly think of Crazy Joe Davola! 😜
😂
Ikr 😆👍
@@Linda-in9ns 🤣
😂😂😂😂😂
It's like a scene from a thriller movie. First time I saw this episode I was so happy when Elaine was able to escape from this twisted guy (thank goodness for Cherry Binaca breath spray, LOL).
Elaine uneasiness and fear to get out from this situation is commendable. She don't want to offend him by getting angry but answering cautiously.
The actor who played Joe D was really good.
Imagine if Joe DiVolo in this scene was played by Newman. Would've been a lot funnier.
@@liamsandal6360he just died, RIP
In a dark room?Hmm..no thank you.I am a day person. 😂
It's nice to be involved with somebody who's interested in something other than Nick at Nite!
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Could u tell the reference for this Nick at nite thing? Thanks in advance 🙈
Joey's bench press scene kinda reminded me of Ralph Fiennes' one in Red Dragon.
Also, this reminds me of a scene in Taxi Driver
"You're not leaving" was pretty freaky. 😮
Darkest Seinfeld scene. Elaine was moments away from being decapitated and having her body made into a wearable skin for joe
It puts the lotion on its skin
No that would be Dennis in IASIP.
😂😂😂
Buffalo Bill in Silence of The Lambs lol
The laugh track makes it worse. Remove the laugh track and this scene could have easily been in a serious film
"You think I'm a clown...Netta"?
🤣
The sad part is Joe was actively getting help for his problems before Elaine distracted his therapist.
That pause before "showering"...Even in its darkest moments, comedy is about timing, and Joe delivers here.
I like Joey/Joe's character 🤣🤣🤣 he's a nut😂😂
Ikr 👍😁
The creepiness of the whole scene and then right after you hear the Seinfeld theme music 😂 for some reason it cracks me up how it switches from creepy mood to a happy quirky jingle lol
Rest in peace Peter Crombie. He was a great actor
“He’s happy. He’s well adjusted.”
RIP Peter Crombie. Only found out today he passed of a short illness…
Laney put the kibosh on Joey with the cherry Binaca.
"I'm a daaay person."
"Something is on somewhere" 😂
Elaine just wanted to get the f outta his apartment
I’m getting a Buffalo Bill aura from this guy. This and that Richie guy who makes the Elaine mannequin are just creepy characters.
Supposedly, Peter Crombie (the actor playing Joe Davola) couldn't take any of Larry David's nastiness and sarcasm and beat the crap out of him before filming one day. He was a great actor, but the incident got him blacklisted.
0:43 (**Celine Dions My Heart Will Go On plays in background**)
Celine: “Weeeeell staaaaaaay foreeeever this waaaay…”
Joe Davola: (*blubbering*) “HUAAAHAAHAHAHA!!!”
Peter Crombie does such a good job here going through a range of emotions - confidence, disillusionment, then rage - in an understated (and creepy!) way. RIP.
No one does swallowing their words like Julia Louis Dreyfus.
But dayumm this was frickin creepy!
She's also amazing at playing sad with quivering lips.
He's going to put the kibosh on Jerry!
The Seinfeld slap bass music really does not work at the end of this scene LOL
I love it shows she was prepared to defend herself.
yeah, i can see just how happy & well-adjusted he is
Gotta love Elaine 😅 Physically overpowering Davola or calling the police was out of the question so she hit him in the right spot with the right thing💥
Ol' "Joey" hahaha 😂
I love Crazy Joe!
Let’s also talk about how Elaine’s therapist ex-boyfriend(Davola’s therapist) basically tried to use Davola to kill her for dumping him
Looks like no one wanted to talk about it
Elaine sure knows how to pick'em
How so? I don't remember that!
That's not what happened. He left the therapist for Joe. They had a fight so I'm guessing he stopped giving him his meds.
Whoa, that's a big leap on your part. The therapist definitely loves Elaine (they did go to Europe together) but there is no reason to believe he wants her dead now. He probably just hopes to win her back.
I love this show. I can watch this all day 😂
So you're a day person?
@@brierichardson8462 LOLOLOL
That guy could have been good for the character in the silence of the lamb.
This had me in stitches, Elaine” he has a grip on reality, he is well adjusted..,
RIP Peter.
"Oh yeah, men like that." RIP Peter Crombie
God damn! This scene was epic. She was keeping herself so calm and composed.
Wasn't it Elaine's fault that Joe couldn't get his medicine when she went with the doc to Europe?
The psychiatrist forgot to refill his meds. Elaine just told him not to worry.
This episode was truly disturbing. I mean it's supposed to be a sitcom, and all of a sudden you're watching a horror movie. The red dot episode was equally disturbing (with the ultimate werewolf himself: David Naughton). The difference is that the red dot episode had a happy ending. This episode with "Crazy Joe Divola" hadn't.
So dang hilarious !!! Joe 👍😂
Idk why but this set of episodes was like my favorite.. every Joe Davola moment was gold jerry gold! (Except the scene in his apartment 😬)
People talk about how George's acting was the best on the show, but Elaine totally makes this scene by somehow managing to be funny. And of course Peter Crombie was completely scary. If you watch this out of context of the show, it's pretty horrifying. But - this is one of my favorite episodes, too.
This whole sequence reminds of the way things would be told in some Reddit thread called "Your real life relationship nightmares? (women only)"
RIP JOE
So you like being around sickos.
Imagine Cedric and Bob picking up on Joe on the street...
The shrine of pictures of elaine and him explaining each photo.
Seems to be like the Joaquin Phoenix's Joker prequel story.
Larry Charles. What a writer. Very much like his dark and edgy style.
G O ! G O ! G O! Run GET Yourself out of anything like this GOOD LADY 👍
If this episode aired today there would be a disclaimer before and after the show. If this happened irl dude would get a visit from NYPD, be admitted to Bellevue for a 72 hour psychiatric hold, a restraining order would be filed, and mandatory therapy would be part of his release. OH! Plus medication. 30 years ago he would just be left alone. No one would visit him anymore and there would be whispers about his behavior. See how times have changed?!
He was on medicine but stopped taking them.
Elaine is me in a crisis. Hoping my jokes will create an opening for escape 😭
Not only do I love that song and listen to it while I work out but I also have a dark room. Six semper tyrannous, I guess....
Nedda! 😂🤣🤣🤣
Damn scary scene! Surprised to see such a scene in Seinfeld. Julia what stunning screen presence and acting to actually make an outright creepy scene quite engaging and funny in moments.
So many great characters. I had forgotten about this one but he is insanely good
Crazy Joe Devola reminds me of that nut on SILENCE OF THE LAMBS! Totally creepy! Lol
I do not have a grip on reality and I'm not well adjusted....and I often ask who am I? Who am I supposed to be?
"I like to encourage intruders" 😂
Those seemingly happy, well-adjusted people tend to be the sad clowns once the mask is removed. Deep 👌🏽
Joey Davola is one of the greatest characters ever.
The creepy and scariest scene in a sitcom ever 🤣🤣🤣
He had to work out or else he wouldn't have been able to subdue those Street toughs when he was dressed up like a clown
Wrong
It was his karate skills that did it
I just now found out Peter Crombie (Crazy Joe Davola) passed away. This is sad. RIP 🌹🌹🌹
When he calls her "Neda" it's soooo creepy.
“Good. Fear is our most primal emotion.”
🎶I'm a day person 🎶 Lol.
Just a little like Silence of the Lambs?
Ah Claireese... 😂
Standard-issue tinder date
“Do you think I’m a clown, Nedda?”
“I know. I like to encourage intruders.”
Without the laugh track this would be like an episode of Criminal Minds
Elaine's scene at CJD's apartment is one of Julia Louis-Dreyfus' best, along with her rabies scene.
All these years and i just noticed the plastic over the couch cushion..😬
“Who am I? Who am I supposed to be?”
My favorite part of the scene lol
00:34 Or Superman and cereal. 😆
This is right up there with the episode with the guy who modeled mannequins off Elaine!
His bench pressing reminds me of the that one scene in the Thing where the guy’s head rips off.
Legendary
Before Joaquin Phoenix's Joker, we had Joe Davola.
I lost it at 0:48😂😂😂😂
Joey reminds me of Dolarhyde from MANHUNTER. It's...weird.
“You people have a pet name for everybody!”
