George's parents were just perfectly PERFECTLY cast and directed. You can totally see George as a sum of both of his parents and the way they interacted
I always thought Jerry Seinfeld's character was the model for Larry David until I saw Larry say in an interview that it was George he was most like.. LOL
@@stagna1959 How about cherry pie? I don't eat cake, its too sweet, its basically like eating sugar sponge to me. I like a cherry pie, the tartness from the cherries balances out the sugar. Apple pie's no good though, too sweet, not enough tart
Holy sh’t bro. I’d murder myself, and you were always argumentative you guys started out like that. Your relationship didn’t develop decades later comon now ya POS
I don't know why people say they weren't geniunely good friends, this episode actually had Jerry assault an old lady and steal her bread to help George, haha.
I like how they always "fix" a problem in the worst way possible. He could have just told them, they took it back since they figure they didn't like it or maybe were allergic to it... Simple as that.
@@ironmaster6496 George would never do that. Frank would . He would be happy to explain to them why he took the rye back and all the grievances they have caused him .
I disagree. Although it's a very nice gesture. Some people, maybe on a diet or for other reasons, can't/won't eat dessert. I could see how that might make someone uncomfortable.
If you are not Jewish, this would seem quaint, but the Marble Rye is a common or important custom after Saturday service at Temple and important social events. The breaking of the bread is an important custom. I remember when someone brought Raisin Bread vs regular sweet bread to Temple and after the service he was like "we are finally moving up in the world"☺ like we are getting fancy!
This is one of my very favorite episodes. The first time I saw this episode and it gets to where Kramer and Rusty the horse are riding with Susan's parents and Rusty is constantly passing gas after Kramer feeds him his excess Beeferino I swear I nearly died laughing! The angle that they use to show Kramer clueing in to the smell slaaaaaayed me and still does to this very day.
You’re 100% spot on… that part is so hilarious! It’s screaming out loud level of funny! No question! “What do you feed this animal?”, asks Susan’s father. “I can’t breath!”
This is definitely an example of a cultural divide. If you are in a rural environment and you bring something to a potluck, if it is untouched, you are completely within your rights to take it home. When talking about this episode, everyone I know from a city agreed with George, and everyone from a rural area agreed with Frank.
If i brought food that I prepared, in a dish, I'll take it home. A loaf of bread that I bought, in a plastic bag, I'll leave behind. I can buy another loaf of bread.
Lol which is why the show put situations like that in to poke fun at the two logics. Me personally I'd of told my girlfriend the situation and explained how messed up my family is.
@@Aaron_Heininger But you're not as insecure as George is. That being said, what is the insane part? You go out of your way to go to this particular deli and get their signature food, and they don't even bother to put it out?
Gotta go with Frank on this one. If you bring food to an event and the host doesn’t use/offer it (regardless of whether it’s accidental or deliberate), seems perfectly within your rights to take it with you when you go.
Let’s be real here, all of us have gotten into situations that could’ve been fixed easily if not for our brilliantly stupid plan that ended up making things worse.
Bossfan49 I am not sure that particular line was from Larry. However, between Curb and Seinfeld he is one brilliant SOB. I stand by that statement now and forever. Larry was known for coming up with concepts or story lines. The staff of writers along with Jerry many times helped with putting the scripts together.
@@bigh7972 Carol Leifer, who wrote that episode, credited Larry with tbe idea about Jerry's confrontation w the old lady. She said Larry felt that Jerry should have 1 more obstacle before getting the rye to George.
There was really only one line that could've ended the scene with George holding the loaf of rye on a line from a fishing rod, and it was.... "Schnitzer's"
Each of the actors playing the parents (Frank & Estelle, and Mr. & Mrs. Ross) were just such terrific character actors, the likes of which we sadly don't seem to have many of anymore (where everyone just basically plays versions of themselves... :-( l
George's parents were just perfectly PERFECTLY cast and directed. You can totally see George as a sum of both of his parents and the way they interacted
You should look up the casting of jerry stiller. Really interesting story! On TH-cam somewhere sorry I don’t have the link!
The two of them were always a riot.
Agree wholeheartedly
@@AM-qu6vu jerry Stiller was the best!
I always thought Jerry Seinfeld's character was the model for Larry David until I saw Larry say in an interview that it was George he was most like.. LOL
Only George's parents could make George seem sensible
Lol
George is just a insecure loser but still reasonable.
@@brucelston
George is a product of his toxic upbringing; can't really blame the poor bastard.
If George's parents had divorced when he was younger, he could've been normal
True I never Saw it that way till now
The only time Frank and Estelle agreed on something
And of course it's an insane opinion
Fact!
I imagine how it was at their wedding with the "I do" part
They also agreed with each other when George felt up the material on that job interview he went to. And was immediately fired...
They agreed that George was too much to deal with (the episode with Fragile Frankie Merman & the van)…lol
I love how as soon as George mentions the idea of putting the rye back Jerry is immediately on board
That's because George and Jerry have known each other their whole lives. That, and because they both still have the mentality of ten yr olds..
If it means watching things go from bad to worse for George, Jerry’s always in for it
We’re sitting there like IDIOTS drinking coffee, without a piece of cake!
….I think that every time I go over to a friends for coffee
Would a piece of pound cake be too much to ask for? I tell ya it was intentional they didn’t put out the dessert we brought…Frank Constanza.
@@bigh7972 453 Graham crackers = 1 pound cake.
She was right. When drinking coffee after the dinner, piece of cake is obligatory .Or at least biscuits, sweet pretzel, pancakes with jam...
@@stagna1959 How about cherry pie? I don't eat cake, its too sweet, its basically like eating sugar sponge to me. I like a cherry pie, the tartness from the cherries balances out the sugar. Apple pie's no good though, too sweet, not enough tart
My wife and I used to be cool and contemporary...after 19 years we have become Frank and Estelle..but its ok because we love each other
😆
Holy sh’t bro. I’d murder myself, and you were always argumentative you guys started out like that. Your relationship didn’t develop decades later comon now ya POS
Don't let michael richards stop short with your wife.
Gotta ask would you say she has eye for fashion?
Sadly they died
"Now because of that stupid rye bread I gotta keep them all separated for the rest of my life" 🤣🤣🤣
George’s parents are the best casting and Jason Alexander plays off them so much
"we're sitting there like idiots,...".
It can't possibly be funnier.
I don't know why people say they weren't geniunely good friends, this episode actually had Jerry assault an old lady and steal her bread to help George, haha.
Agree they seemed to enjoy each other's misery from time to time but they helped each other a lot. Remeber when jerry tried the switch?
@@tmrevenge Hence I don't get why people say the main cast have "no empathy"----they've been there COUNTLESS times for each other.
@@zoefang4563 that's right Zoe when you are right you are right

This is so old school Italian. This was my grandparents.
I feel like mediterranenan people in general are the same vibe; my grandparents are lebanese and Spanish and have some of this too;
George's family are not italian, they're jewish
@@guyincognito3456 you can be italian and jewish
@@guyincognito3456 Technically they were Italian and Jewish.
Paisanos brothers.
LET'S NOT GET INTO PANIC MODE!!!
Jerry Stiller was one of one man. RIP to the goat 🐐
I like how they always "fix" a problem in the worst way possible. He could have just told them, they took it back since they figure they didn't like it or maybe were allergic to it... Simple as that.
It would cause both families kill each other.
But this explains how Seinfeld is a series about "nothing." The idea of getting into this ridiculous situation over a loaf of rye bread is genius.
@@danawinsor1380 Yeah that's why I said I like it...
That's George Constanza for you, he also could have just take the bread back and told them the truth like you said.
But this wasn't a bad plan though
@@ironmaster6496 George would never do that. Frank would . He would be happy to explain to them why he took the rye back and all the grievances they have caused him .
“Who will bring a bread and take it back”?
“Those people; thats who, I think they’re sick.”
Understatement of the century!!!
*“Shut-up ya old bag!”* 🤣
I agree with Estelle and Frank. You have people over for dinner, you offer dessert. And who does after dinner coffee without offering dessert?
You're off your rocker.
And who would be so inconsiderate as to not put out the marble eye after they made the effort of going all the way to Schnitzer's?
@@wvu05 I agree, it's shocking.
I disagree. Although it's a very nice gesture. Some people, maybe on a diet or for other reasons, can't/won't eat dessert. I could see how that might make someone uncomfortable.
I’ve been over someone’s house where they haven’t put any snacks out. I don’t know, just find that weird.
"Cause he's off his ROCKER that's why!" - amazing delivery. This whole episode is great, it's usually regarded as the best overall Seinfeld episode.
Nah, the one where kramer adopts a mile of a highway is better
The best was "The Marine Biologist."
No soup for you 1 year!
@@wvu05 lololol. It was just George's luck that there was a beached whale and someone calls out, "Is anyone here a marine biologist?"
@@danawinsor1380 The sea was angry that day my friends...
Ah they didn't forget to put it out!
It's deliberate!!
Frank's default is assume hes been wronged on purpose
Love this.

Look at me, love me, kiss me! 😅
According to Silvio.
George should have told them at the end that his father was crazy and took it, and he was just trying to keep the peace lol.
that would be the wise thing to do and in fact the only solution haha
That would be the sensible thing to do, which is why George goes the other way.
Lol knowing george he panicked
It would have the families kill each other.
Remember that Jerry stole that Rye from an old bag on the street.... would have been great to include it
Look, I love the whole episode, and it would be great to include all of it, but that scene doesn't really follow the theme line being presented here.
@Necramonium Babu was the last witness who put them in jail. The old bag was the deciding vote to remove Morty as condo president.
"There's something about the clip,clop,clip clop people go nuts about it "🤣🤣

This was one of the best episodes in the series. Brilliantly written and played
It’s deliberate I tell ya!

Rest in peace Jerry and Estelle
Every time I see scenes like this one I think to myself "My, George turned out so well adjusted."
This must be my favourite Seinfeld scene ever..just cracks me...RIP Jerry Stiller..
The Rosses should invite them back over for coffee with a slice of rye bread
These two families are perfect for each other!
Can you imagine how the wedding would’ve gone?? Good God
Jerry and george should have married if only for the sake of the family interaction
1:34 Probably the only thing they ever saw eye-to-eye on, and it was to hate on another couple. 😂
Frank Constanza belongs in the comedic hall of fame. 1st round…
3:26 - "Wait a second, WAIT A SECOND!" It's like hearing Larry David say that line!
I heard that too!
George can be a problematic freak of nature, but you can't deny it all starts with these two lunatics lol

This is not a pot-luck. Its a semi-formal dinner. George's parents are meeting his fiance's parents for the first time.
@@bossfan49 If it's a semi-formal occasion, then the Ross family should have put out cake, and they should have put out the marble rye.
Frank, wearing a tie that's wider than any tie anyone has worn in the last 5 years
Estelle yells at Frank that the tie is too thin
Susan looked hot in that scene
I do like her hairstyle
It's deliberate, deliberate I tell you!!!
What a fine ending for such an entertaining conversation between Georg and his parents in the car.
Lmao 🤣 George is really crazy....lol...smh...the shit he does instead of just being upfront with people.
Ahhh, they didn't forget to put it out! It's deliberate! DE-LI-BE-RATEI TELL YA!
My personal GOAT episode.
My fav episode too 😂
What does GOAT mean?
@@elveheim greatest of all time
George and his parents are hilarious. Susan and her parents are too. 😄
Not gonna lie that marbled rye looks pretty tasty.
Indeed
The way George reels it in and holds the bread up like fishermen always do for their catch is hilarious.
George should have said "They're really biting out there".
It's deliberate I tell you, DELIBERATE!
R.I.P. Estelle Harris
Aaaaalllllll things considered, I'd say George turned out pretty well.
Not really. George is a neurotic mess.
Old, cheap and slightly insanse people. Bickering about stuff that doesn't matters. Spot on!
0:30 The "psychopath convention" that Jerry mentioned is still going on.
We got water. I don’t think we have any bread but we got water. lol
Jason Alexander has always been a very great actor 👏 🎉, 😅😅
Jerry Stiller absolute legend.
2:38 - I love the frustration and embarrassment.
& jerry stole bread from an old lady
Rusty!
You fed the horse Beeferino?!!!
Where is Rusty and the Beefarino?
Gotta go with Frank on this one. If you bring food to an event and the host doesn’t use/offer it (regardless of whether it’s accidental or deliberate), seems perfectly within your rights to take it with you when you go.
Nah it’s pretty weird taking the bread
If you could only divorce yourself from your parents .
Ungift the bread and Susan's mother was in Child's Play 2🤣Chucky had her taking selfies via the copy machine 😅
They’re all very suspicious.
😂
"We're sitting there like idiots drinking coffee without a piece of cake!"
That's a beautiful marble rye 🍞
Let’s be real here, all of us have gotten into situations that could’ve been fixed easily if not for our brilliantly stupid plan that ended up making things worse.

Poor George never had a chance with parents like this.
For once Frank and Stelle were on the same page, Nice 🤣🤣🤣
Jerry very concerned 🤣🤣
One thing I've NEVER understood about fashion: What's the point of having two buttons on a suit jacket, but only do up one?
Three buttons is the only correct configuration.
I do both. It looks so much better.
One button looks sloppy as hell and I am not a slob.
I'LL SHOW THESE PEOPLE SOMETHIN ABOUT TASTE... UMMPHH !
I love the Costanzas!!!!
George’s parents are so annoying it’s perfect
georges expression with his parents is my expression with my grandparents lol

Hot toasted rye bread with peanut butter spread quickly on it and some jam you like can’t be beat. Mmmmmm
Vintage Frank Costanza - the unmmff at the point of knotting his coat 😂😂
Well , at least in this episode we can see that jerry is a good friend after all
George’s parents make him seem rational and cultured and polite.
That looks more like a challah than a rye
It's a marble rye. That is one way of achieving the marbling effect.
SCHNITZERS. Lmao
1:01 George is just like me when I was meeting my brothers then future in-laws for dinner. 😅😅😅
My favorite episode
0:30 That look...
And who doesn't serve cake after a meal? What kind of people?
4:36 PRICELESS
I was born in 91 and this on top of taxi, Brady bunch and Gilligan's Island I found humor
Doesn’t anyone else think that Arthur Spooner was “mellow” by comparison? 🤔
Jerry Seinfeld: Give me that Bread, you Old Bag!!
this is for like a muffin! lol!!
You don't need to get the rye late. You get it early and get that out of the way. And don't involve Kramer. Then you have something.
Caught a rye! Lol!
George’s parents are right!
Deliberate I tell you!!
Ive always thought that bread looked so good. Never had marble rye..
Echoes of Annie Hall with the split-screen of the two families un-interacting.
Like how Jerry runs while stealing the rye form the old woman
