During my initial interview with the priest about joining the Orthodox church, he asked me what attracted me to the Church, and it took every ounce of control to not answer with "the hats"...
Same sort of thing here, the priest asked me how familiar I was with Orthodox theology and it took every bit of control to not reply with "perhaps not to the extent that you are."
I was expecting the "Fadduh" to notice the writing on George's hand, heck, George raised that hand to the priest's face, but apparently he disn't seem to notice.
The girl most likely was as good of a liar as Costanza 😂 and did the big crying scene in the restaurant about "my parents ... differences in religion, Latvian Orthodox....". Even later on when George says "I converted for you".... she probably lied again about a trip to Latvia for a year.😂😂😂😂
I'm Russian Orthodox, and I can confirm that the headgear is a huge selling point to new converts. Of course, there's no such thing as "Latvian Orthodox," which no doubt was done on purpose, but the priest at 2:30 is what almost every foreign born priest in America sounds and looks like.
Thanks for the comment, but according to the DVD Behind the scenes, there actually is a religion called the Latvian Orthodox. Apparently the people of that religion thanked Larry and Jerry for promoting their small religion, but none of the writers knew it was a real thing either.
@@seinfeldclips Its Autocephaly status has not been recognized by other Orthodox churches, so within Orthodoxy its not its own church. It would still be seen under the ROS (Russian). So its not a real church in the way the Orthodox sees it. God bless and thanks for the video!
Actually yes there is. My mother was a Latvian Orthodox. It just means the liturgies are done in Latvian, but it's related to the other Orthodox churches. This was comedy, but if anyone thinks that it's what it is, you're stupid
The intro from the beginning of this clip is not the original. You can see he’s much older and the stage is different. Does anyone know what that was from?

@ghostpasha9076 the funny thing is that it would actually work
Should have, the hat conveys that solemn religious look you want in a religion, very pious!
😂😂😂😂
Jerry and Elaine paying about 20% attention to George and 80% attention to the lobster
“Is this the same group that goes out mutilating squirrels?” ROFLOL
And “stay away from squirrels George”
even funnier because Estelle's friends are Latvian Orthodox. You'd think he would know 😂
She still ordered the lobster. Lmfaoo
"Yes, I'll have the lobster." 😭
"Oh, I'm full of it, father."
Even the not to well known episodes are fantastic compared to other shows. This one is hilarious.
Yes, I agree.
4:58 George responds to the "Fadduh" with a raised palm that has all the test answers written on it.
yes, we saw that.

Does anyone notice that the standup part in the beginning was a recent Seinfeld standup?
I added that from Jerry's Netflix special "Jerry Before Seinfeld." I felt it was the only joke of his I could find that sort-of matched the episode.
Nice
Yes, first thing I noticed was that it was more like a 21st century Jerry.
No
Yep, shorter hair
This was the only woman I never lied to.
Well, thats not entirely true.
🤣
And stay away from those squirrels 😅😅😅😅

“I think the hats.”
I’m a swedish guy, for the first time in Riga, Latvia, and of course I remembered this episode and had to ser ut again before I leave today!😂
George even lies to the priest..😂😂😂😂
i can imaging larry david doing this in REAL LIFE
Yes, faddah 😂😂
George at 1:42 “I actually thought about converting!” 😂

I'm gonna think about this,I'm really gonna think about this 😂🤣😂🤣
This series was really hilarious!
George deserves all the pain and misery that comes to him.
As punishment I'm going to give your wife to George
They cut out the word “vast” (pronounced vooost”
The bathroom scene was so funny!
But why the hell would he choose in there to study?
Probably his parents barge into his room whenever they want so he has no privacy
George: It's over. 😞
Elaine: What's that? 😳
George: Lobster ... 😔🦞
Jerry: Looks like a swan. 🤔🦢
I lost it when he said "I know the basic plot" 😂
And then she goes to her home country I do believe she has somebody else there
Oh, I’m full of it fatha.
A king Edward Jerry!
Ask any Eastern Orthodox, there would never be an organ at the church lol
The hats do go hard though
Those hats go pretty hard.
Enigmatic? Vost? No, not vost.
It can take up to 3 years to become Orthodox lol 😂
He sure was full of it😂😂😂
TURBO! Turbo.
Freakin’ squirrels.
Kavorka!
KAVORKA!
How come the "vaaast" line is cut out?

lol why do Americans think Latvian =Russian every damn Show lol 😂.
Why does the sister say she can't offer the final benediction? Anyone help?
Because she's in love with Kramer.
because kramer has kavorka.. the scent of the aaaanimol😂
The *lure* of the animal
no not Vast😅😅😅😅
I thought jews didn’t eat shellfish.

1:15
for him to convert i thought she'd be a 10. i was wrong
What , she's very pretty
Was this just a made up episode or did this really happen to Larry David??
I'm not sure. I don't think it did though.
Larry converted to Judaism purely for the jokes 😂
he actually converted to estonian orthodox irl. they changed the denomination to protect the innocent
