That's how it should be. Nowadays, most shows (not all) tend to talk down to the viewer and blatantly tell them where the references came from. Rick and Morty is a prime example of this.
I was today years old when I realized that Wayne Knight (Newman) is in both JFK and Basic Instinct and doing the same thing in those movies as he's going in the Seinfeld parodies of them. That's genius! :D
The best part about this is that they did all of these references correctly. They’re funny WITHOUT the viewer knowing where they came from. I’ve been watching Seinfeld since I was 9 and I found all of these bits funny despite not knowing the source material.
Same here, watched Seinfeld many times and found these scenes funny even though I didn't know these references. But Knowing these references will put icing on the cake when I rewatch again.
I can't believe it never clicked in my head that Wayne Knight was in two of the very same scenes they were parodying. That adds a whole new dimension to it.
I had no idea these were pretty much shot for shot spoofs and always considered them well written tropes. Also seeing Newman in the original movies they paid homage to kinda blew my mind.
I love how Seinfeld is just comedy bit after comedy bit, sometimes through the script and dialogue there'd be a number of jokes in a matter of seconds. It's always a back and forth type deal too. Millennials don't seem to get it
@@hippiecheezburger5457 Also it was a comedy. Not like other comedies like Friends, Fraiser, even Cosby where there were sad moments. Seinfeld was a true comedy, nothing more! Only sad moment was when it ended!
@@billcook4768 In the case of JFK I just thought that they were making fun of the "magic bullet theory" as opposed to re-enacting a scene from a movie.
Even when you're aware of the reference, what's really impressive is seeing these side-by-side and getting to appreciate just how close they got many of the shots. The staging, the framing, the editing... they really put in the work.
The homage to the final scene in "Midnight Cowboy" is also the episode where George thinks he has bought the car owned by Jon Voight, who of course co-starred in the movie. Brilliant!
Yep, that whole episode was one long homage to "Midnight Cowboy." Everybody's talkin' at me I can't hear a word they're sayin' Just drivin' around in Jon Voight's car
I’m a huge fan of Seinfeld and only knew some of the obvious references. I always thought the show was genius, but this is just next level. And Wayne reprising the roles - mind blown!
And this shows what a great actor Wayne Knight is. His expressions in both scenes are polar opposites: one with a serious tone and the other completely comedic. And always fitting perfectly into the scenes context.
The Seinfeld episode with the wedding in India, where events are presented starting at the end and leading backward in time to the beginning, is based on the movie "Betrayal" with Jeremy Irons and Ben Kingsley, which begins at the end of the story and ends with the beginning. The screenplay was written by Harold Pinter. A character in the Seinfeld episode, I think the groom, is named Pinter. This wouldn't be a side-by-side scene comparison, so doesn't belong in this collection, but it's another clever movie reference in Seinfeld.
@@beauwalker9820 Notice how they brought back Susan Ross just for that one regressive vignette at the diner. Looks like there were no hard feelings after all (between Heidi Swedburg and Seinfeld).
The Godfather references were always so spot on! The utter climax and confusion of that episode for Kramer to end up being the Godfather was hilarious as hell 😂
You have to have lived through a certain time period. Futurama is the same way. Tons of references in it belong to 1960s-1980s culture, nerd culture of that time, and movies and other issues. Basically, it stops being funny and just starts being a weird show when you're too young to know anything about those eras. Same with seinfeld.
yeah man. I'm a hardcore fan, seen repeat after repeat for 20 years and seeing this, gave me like 11 mins straight of goosebumps. seriously insane compilation.

Great job! There’s another movie reference I’d like to add: When Paul O’Neill of the NY Yankees is told by Kramer that he has to hit 2 home runs for a little boy who’s sick in the hospital, that’s a scene from Pride of the Yankees, where Lou Gehrig promises to hit 2 home runs in the World Series for little Billy in the hospital.
@@yaronbaruch This was wonderful. I have thought about this same concept before but you pulled it off masterfully. You may have gotten some of these already but there is a scene where Kramer runs away from Jerry that mimics Fredo running from Michael in Havana in The Godfather II. There is also the quote about the dead parrot Fredo - "Fredo was weak and stupid - he shouldn't have eaten that key" which is also a Godfather II paraphrase. Excellent video and thanks for creating it!

As a huge Seinfeld fan, and a decent amount of movie knowledge, I'm shocked by how many of these I had no idea were references! Gonna have to watch some of these movies now!
Well, to be bluntly frank and honest, clever uses of the footage that went into crafting this piece of nearly perfect montage of movie segments, which merged beautifully with the Seinfeld clips, to be sure, that said, where I feel where the proverbial ball was dropped was in the lack of Schindler's List. I mean, seriously?! The English Patient is one thing, but how can you even remotely forget to include such a timeless art and memorable piece of cinematic wonder as Schindler's List?! It just doesn't work without it. That's just not right... especially where the whole Jewish angle is concerned. Don't mean to sound rude, & as much as I surely love the "show about nothing", but for me, at best, I'd say this was more like Fool's Gold... which would be perfect for Seinfeld's zany antics! Decent attempt, though.
Maybe they could've done in episode where Newman tried to get rid of the dog that bothered Elaine, in sense that some bigger dog chase after Newman or something.
I don't know about the accuracy of this, but I read a long time ago that Wayne Knight was the first actor cast in Jurassic Park because Steven Spielberg watched the episode where his mail truck catches un fire and he starts screaming frantically. He immediately thought of Dennis Nedry screaming at the sight of dinosaurs.
At some point, Jerry should have said to Newman, “Our lives are in your hands, and you have BUTTERFINGERS?!” and cut to Newman eating a Butterfinger chocolate bar.
@@RafaCarrillo I think the flaming mail truck came after Jurassic Park. I say that based on the fact that Wayne was much heftier in Jurassic Park but was a bit lighter in the flaming truck episode.
I'm a young Seinfeld fan. I've seen all seasons multiple times but never took the time to research some of the less obvious references. Thank you for this. 🙏🏾
I never realized how much movie references there were in Seinfeld. Some of them I didn’t even knew they were references. And a lot I had no idea Wayne Knight recreate twice on the show.
Arguably one of the best compilations paying homage to arguably one of the greatest shows ever to hit the airwaves. Outstanding Yaron! Well done, sir, I was thoroughly entertained.
This was incredibly well done. Putting it side by side makes it undeniable. Really makes me wonder what Seinfeld would look like if it continued today and all the newer references they could cram in.
@@ELEKTROSKANSEN no we need a gritty remake where they are in jail, Elaine story will be like orange is the new black. Kramer is now a drug addict trying to break his curse. Greogie is now a leader of a small gang on the inside, he is finally something and is scared of leaving it behind as his release date comes closer. Seinfeld is doing lame stand up. THIS IS WHAT THE WORLD NEEDS.
I never put together that a lot of these were direct movies parodies, even from the movies that I've seen a million times. Hell, I love JFK, and Seinfeld, and of course I knew that episode was referencing the movie. But from whatever reason, I never put it in my head that Wayne Knight was playing the same role in both!
Seinfeld recreating some of the most iconic movie scenes of all time as purely comedic is also peak absurdity. One could argue that this is what makes it fit so well.
There's one they forgot, although I'm not complaining because this is a great vid. He forgot to juxtapose Liam Neeson and Judge Reinhold (Schindler's List)
Also in “The Race” in which Kramer is a mall Santa, there’s a reference to Miracle on 34th Street where Kramer tries to speak gibberish to the girl who doesn’t speak English
@@Shapes_Quality_Control Lol I think you misunderstood, I didn't mean it was as good as The Lion King, just that The Lion King was really good. Despite that, I don't regret seeing Wolf. Two very different movies intended for very different audiences but I did end up watching Lion King way more than Wolf.
One of my favorite scenes in Seinfeld is the ending of The Cadillac. I knew it was a reference to Nixon, but all I knew about was the wave. I had never seen the 'walk of shame' or the goodbye waves of the staff.
Something about that scene always makes me tear up. The original version and this side-by-side edit both hit me in the same way. It's a profoundly beautiful scene.
This is fantastic!! I've seen every Seinfeld episode so many times and while I recognized a number of these moments, I can't believe I didn't know there were so many more done in homage to the films. Well done Yaron!
I’ve watched every Seinfeld episode, some more than once, and I knew some of the more obvious movie references but had no idea there are so many. Thank you for this excellent video of enlightenment! Also, I never made the connection that Wayne Knight was actually in many of these Seinfeld scenes where he was the actor in tribute movie, like JFK-amazing.
They forgot one: “Wolf”: in “The Muffin Tops”, Jerry starts shaving his chest. His girlfriend likes him with a smooth chest and Jerry tricks her into thinking he’s naturally hairless. However, they’re trapped on Kramer’s tour bus and Jerry’s chest starts to itch. He runs away and jumps around like Jack Nicholson in “Wolf” when Nicholson starts to transform into a werewolf. Only Jerry howls as he scratches his chest and gets relief.
I haven't commented on a TH-cam video in at least a decade but this is superb. Your commitment to score the video, link the movies in different ways with different edits is incredible. This could have been the worst fan video but I tip my hat to you, it is a masterpiece, you glorious bastard! Love from Dublin, Ireland
I'll add one I just saw. Season 5 Episode 3 - The Glasses. About ten minutes in, George who is blind as a bat without his glasses spots a dime across the room in Jerry's apratment mirroring that scene from The Great Escape with James Garner when Donald Pleasence's character pretends to see a dime across the barrack's room even though he has gone blind as a bat from all the forgery work he did.
Yaron, wow! I can’t imagine the time it took for you to make this video. The side by side comparison is immaculate! Never knew they were some many movie references in Seinfeld. Thanks to your great video now I know! :)
Wayne Knight being in the JFK movie as well is just fucking hilarious, going real meta there. Growing up as a small kid in northern europe I realized that many of these scenes were referencing something but never knew from where. Scenes in them selfes are truly funny but seeing this clip makes you appreciate them 10x more!
And him being in the same 'place' in both. And did you also catch that Wayne Knight was in both Basic Instinct and in the Seinfeld reference to it as well?
What’s amazing is that Wayne Knight was not only in one of the biggest TV shows, but was also in some of the biggest movies (Jurassic Park, Basic Instinct, and JFK) all around the same time!
I just realized Wayne Knight was in JFK. I guess I forgot and for him to be Newman makes me think did they come up with that scene because Wayne was in JFK? Or did it all just come together and be a coincidence?
Seinfeld is seriously one of the best shows in history! This just adds another level to it that I didn't even really know about. There is not one single episode that doesn't make me laugh.
What about that scene when Elaine's close talker boyfriend speaks like in Schindler's list. " This watch would have paid for trip, this ring means one more dinner"
This makes so much sense now! There were times watching Seinfeld where I just didn't get it or like I wasn't in on an inside joke! Had no idea there were so many references to movies. Thank you for this! Very well done! 😊
This is so great! I'm a huge Seinfeld fan and instead of explaining the references to my husband, he watched this with me so now he gets it lol I'm so happy this compilation exists! Thank you!
Great video! There are many more references in the show. For example: In "The Fatigues", the singles mixer fiasco is a reference for Platoon. When Kramer goes to Hollywood there is another reference to Sunset Blvd. when his old neighbor yells as he's going up the stairs.
Also Nicholson & Michelle pfifers "wolf" when Jerry start shaving his chest & comes in fuller & darker on a full moon .lol that payoff homage was aaauooo soo good.
So glad I found this compilation. I’ve watched the entire series of Seinfeld probably 20 times and a lot of these references went over my head because I’ve never seen the corresponding movie. Thank you so much!!!
I've seen a lot of these and didn't recognize that they were movie references from some of my favorite movies, even. Thanks for showing me what an idiot I am and how awesome these scenes were! Edit: This was expertly done Bravo!
Man, that "Duck Soup" reference is a deeeep cut. Also, Wayne Knight should win an Oscar for his ability to switch from drama to comedy. Hey: Jonah Hill did, right?
This is absolutely incredible. I definitely knew some of these references but I had no idea there were so many! I'm already a fan of the show and have been for many many years, but this just makes me appreciate it so much more--to know how deep some of the humor goes. Thanks for putting this together.
This show was pure comedy genius , always love it when they allow the comedians in charge to do whatever they want to do,give them complete control, this show was one big inside joke that somehow tens of millions understood
This video. Is funny, interesting and melancholic. (The music did it) All at the same time. Seinfeld and all their creative team were geniuses. The person who put together this video is quite talented too. Thank you!
Seinfeld a masterpiece of comedic genius. The nuances to movies sublime. Yaron quite the accomplishment and dedication to enlighten us Seinfeld fans. Thank you.
You're a fantastic editor and movie buff. Thank you, man, really. One thing though, I wanted to see the reference of the movie "Platoon" with Frank cooking for his platoon in the war. I mean it was a bit on the nose, they even used the same music but still, I loved that scene.
That's a lot more movie references than I would have picked up in "Seinfeld". Seeing Newman in both the movie and its reference is doubly funny.
Same! I've seen a fair share of these movies too and some references completely went over my head.
Wow I didnt even notice that how cool is that?
Yeah I thought the same
Surreal
There's two clips in this video where he's in the original and in the reference
It's as though the writers on Seinfeld were waiting for someone to come along and create this montage to validate their creativity and love of cinema.

The fact that they got some of the actual actors that portrayed the originals is incredible. And Wayne doing it too!
Too bad they didn't do Jurassic Park
Jurassic Pancake
They're both named Newman too
The great thing about these references in Seinfeld is they're funny even if you don't get they're a reference. That's just good writing.
@Jacob King I had the same reaction when I first saw Citizen Kane, and could pinpoint every scene recreated by the Simpsons
Yeah. I haven't watched most of these films...but it was still great watching the Seinfeld episodes.
Yeah most times it's only funny if you get the reference but not with Seinfeld.
That's how it should be. Nowadays, most shows (not all) tend to talk down to the viewer and blatantly tell them where the references came from. Rick and Morty is a prime example of this.
as a kid I got almost none of these references except the Godfather ones and I loved all of them
This proves that Newman was the bigest star in Seinfeld
Yeah I had no idea he was in so many films, not the least of which is his pretty big role in Jurassic park
My favorite character
That's preposterous
Yes, Newman was an underappreciated character.
_Hellllllo, Mello._
I was today years old when I realized that Wayne Knight (Newman) is in both JFK and Basic Instinct and doing the same thing in those movies as he's going in the Seinfeld parodies of them. That's genius! :D

They should have made the Jurassic Park reference as well..

This is how you do references, so subtly that the people who don’t know the reference could easily see it as part of the show
It's pretty on the nose, you just have to actually know the movies
The JFK one wasn’t exactly subtle, but yeah, a lot were.
The reference may register on a subconscious level
@@billcook4768 In the case of JFK I just thought that they were making fun of the "magic bullet theory" as opposed to re-enacting a scene from a movie.
Mike Hunt “back and to the left” wasn’t enough to make you think it was from a movie?

Not really?
Makes me wonder why they never did a Jurassic park reference for Wayne Knight considering his spoof of JFK and Basic Instinct scenes.

I love how Jerry overly hams it up when he's saying a movie line.
His voice crack on 'I will find you!' is absolutely priceless.
Jerry was always the weakest acting of the cast. But when you take it as his shtick, as a whole, it's kind of endearing.
@@claytonfs He was also hilarious. But 30 years of imitators have made him seem generic in retrospect. At the time he was unique and hilarious.

He's kinda laughing through all his movie lines, it's hilarious.
I’m a huge fan of Seinfeld and only knew some of the obvious references. I always thought the show was genius, but this is just next level. And Wayne reprising the roles - mind blown!

Not to mention Wilford Brimley and Jon Voight popping up.
And this shows what a great actor Wayne Knight is. His expressions in both scenes are polar opposites: one with a serious tone and the other completely comedic. And always fitting perfectly into the scenes context.

and there he goes --> Down the rabbit hole :)
This was brilliant! Actually, it was “Gold, Jerry…GOLD!!!”
I'm a size 42 now, I'm huge!
Well, to be bluntly frank and honest, clever uses of the footage that went into crafting this piece of nearly perfect montage of movie segments, which merged beautifully with the Seinfeld clips, to be sure, that said, where I feel where the proverbial ball was dropped was in the lack of Schindler's List. I mean, seriously?! The English Patient is one thing, but how can you even remotely forget to include such a timeless art and memorable piece of cinematic wonder as Schindler's List?! It just doesn't work without it. That's just not right... especially where the whole Jewish angle is concerned. Don't mean to sound rude, & as much as I surely love the "show about nothing", but for me, at best, I'd say this was more like Fool's Gold... which would be perfect for Seinfeld's zany antics! Decent attempt, though.
You just won the internet with this compilation. 10/10
It’s too bad they weren’t able to get a Jurassic Park reference in to complete the Wayne Knight pantheon.
Maybe they could've done in episode where Newman tried to get rid of the dog that bothered Elaine, in sense that some bigger dog chase after Newman or something.
I don't know about the accuracy of this, but I read a long time ago that Wayne Knight was the first actor cast in Jurassic Park because Steven Spielberg watched the episode where his mail truck catches un fire and he starts screaming frantically. He immediately thought of Dennis Nedry screaming at the sight of dinosaurs.
At some point, Jerry should have said to Newman, “Our lives are in your hands, and you have BUTTERFINGERS?!” and cut to Newman eating a Butterfinger chocolate bar.
@@RafaCarrillo I think the flaming mail truck came after Jurassic Park. I say that based on the fact that Wayne was much heftier in Jurassic Park but was a bit lighter in the flaming truck episode.
Yeah like a shaving cream/barbosal reference would’ve been pretty easy
I'm a young Seinfeld fan. I've seen all seasons multiple times but never took the time to research some of the less obvious references. Thank you for this. 🙏🏾
I never realized how much movie references there were in Seinfeld. Some of them I didn’t even knew they were references. And a lot I had no idea Wayne Knight recreate twice on the show.
Arguably one of the best compilations paying homage to arguably one of the greatest shows ever to hit the airwaves. Outstanding Yaron! Well done, sir, I was thoroughly entertained.
Thank you!
This was incredibly well done. Putting it side by side makes it undeniable. Really makes me wonder what Seinfeld would look like if it continued today and all the newer references they could cram in.
we need a revive show where Seinfeld retires on Florida and does lame stand up for the old people
@@ELEKTROSKANSEN no we need a gritty remake where they are in jail, Elaine story will be like orange is the new black. Kramer is now a drug addict trying to break his curse. Greogie is now a leader of a small gang on the inside, he is finally something and is scared of leaving it behind as his release date comes closer. Seinfeld is doing lame stand up. THIS IS WHAT THE WORLD NEEDS.
You mean older :)
I never put together that a lot of these were direct movies parodies, even from the movies that I've seen a million times.
Hell, I love JFK, and Seinfeld, and of course I knew that episode was referencing the movie.
But from whatever reason, I never put it in my head that Wayne Knight was playing the same role in both!
Same!
The ol’ “isn’t cinema wonderous” music playing against Seinfeld’s goofiness is peak absurdity.
Seinfeld recreating some of the most iconic movie scenes of all time as purely comedic is also peak absurdity. One could argue that this is what makes it fit so well.
Casablumpin - did you paint your avatar? It’s pretty cool! It’s from “Boardwalk Empire” if memory serves.
This was put together beautifully. The music matches with the scenes so well. What a video
There's one they forgot, although I'm not complaining because this is a great vid. He forgot to juxtapose Liam Neeson and Judge Reinhold (Schindler's List)
Thank you very much!
@@yaronbaruch Yes this was so great😅👍
That took an awful lot of time to edit and piece together. Appreciate the hard work that went into this 11 minutes.
Also in “The Race” in which Kramer is a mall Santa, there’s a reference to Miracle on 34th Street where Kramer tries to speak gibberish to the girl who doesn’t speak English
oh yeah!!! that one is so good, good call...i always laughed....
Also the obvious an numerous calls in that episode to the Superman movie franchise from that episode.
"Santa speaks the language of all children! Snorchy dorchy dorchy Doo"
There was also the OJ trial where they had the Braless Wonder try the bra on over her clothes. It needs to be right up against the skin!
@@andrew1019 “A bra has to fit up right against a person’s skin.... LiKe A gLoVe!!!” -Jackie Chiles.
You left out the ending of when Jerry has to scratch his chest in a Wolfman parody
It was more of a homage to Wolf with Jack Nicholson which had come out a couple years earlier
@@bink I just commented this and was hoping someone else caught that one :)
@@Shapes_Quality_Control Saw it in the theater instead of Lion King... as good as the latter was, I stand by my decision.
@@bink I like Wolf a lot but as good as the Lion King? Hmmm.....
@@Shapes_Quality_Control Lol I think you misunderstood, I didn't mean it was as good as The Lion King, just that The Lion King was really good. Despite that, I don't regret seeing Wolf. Two very different movies intended for very different audiences but I did end up watching Lion King way more than Wolf.
One of my favorite scenes in Seinfeld is the ending of The Cadillac. I knew it was a reference to Nixon, but all I knew about was the wave. I had never seen the 'walk of shame' or the goodbye waves of the staff.
Something about that scene always makes me tear up. The original version and this side-by-side edit both hit me in the same way. It's a profoundly beautiful scene.
This is fantastic!! I've seen every Seinfeld episode so many times and while I recognized a number of these moments, I can't believe I didn't know there were so many more done in homage to the films. Well done Yaron!
I’ve watched every Seinfeld episode, some more than once, and I knew some of the more obvious movie references but had no idea there are so many. Thank you for this excellent video of enlightenment! Also, I never made the connection that Wayne Knight was actually in many of these Seinfeld scenes where he was the actor in tribute movie, like JFK-amazing.
There was a poster of a T. rex in Newman's apartment
Some more than once? Not a very good Seinfeld fan.
this was sublime
Hope you’re well !!!!
Hope to get more scene comparisons Fam.
Blessings
@@JediKnightmare I'm well! But no new videos! Thanks!!
It was superlime!
Just like Kramer's buttocks
@@dimitreze good to read from you, I miss your videos, stay well!
5:36 love how Newman arguably had a more bad ass appearance than the actual movie
Awesome. Surprised to see Cape Fear missing. One of the best Seinfeld movie references (Jerry! Hello!😂).
This is a masterpiece of editing. Well done mate.
The writers of this show were brilliant, but so is Yaron for finding all these references.
I think you're amazing 😗👍
I am a big Seinfeld watcher and that's alot of movie references I didn't know they did. Amazing and thank you.
They forgot one: “Wolf”: in “The Muffin Tops”, Jerry starts shaving his chest. His girlfriend likes him with a smooth chest and Jerry tricks her into thinking he’s naturally hairless. However, they’re trapped on Kramer’s tour bus and Jerry’s chest starts to itch. He runs away and jumps around like Jack Nicholson in “Wolf”
when Nicholson starts to transform into a werewolf. Only Jerry howls as he scratches his chest and gets relief.
I was thinking the same thing.
Also Cape Fear
"Jerry!
Hello!"
I haven't commented on a TH-cam video in at least a decade but this is superb. Your commitment to score the video, link the movies in different ways with different edits is incredible. This could have been the worst fan video but I tip my hat to you, it is a masterpiece, you glorious bastard! Love from Dublin, Ireland
Eooooo check you out non TH-cam commenter :)
Magnificent bastard.
I love how Newman is doing both JFK and Basic Instinct re-enactments.
"Everybody's talkin' at me. I can't hear a word they're sayin'. Just drivin' 'round in Jon Voight's car."
you're a magnificent bastard for bringing up Jon Voight's LeBaron
Don’t you mean “John Voight”. Lol
Oh you mean John Voight the periodontist??
And this is his pencil!
One of my favorite things about this show. Thank you, Yaron Baruch for taking the time to put this together
Thank you for watching!
I think there’s a movie reference to Cyrano when Newman is hiding behind a bookcase and feeding Kramer lines to flirt with Pam.
yeah, but it's more of a play than a movie, so it didn't make the cut for me
@@yaronbaruch There is a wonderful (french) movie with Depardieu (when he was good), by Jean Paul Rappeneau. very well worth a watch
@@yaronbaruch also referenced in Steve Martin’s Roxanne I think
I'll add one I just saw. Season 5 Episode 3 - The Glasses. About ten minutes in, George who is blind as a bat without his glasses spots a dime across the room in Jerry's apratment mirroring that scene from The Great Escape with James Garner when Donald Pleasence's character pretends to see a dime across the barrack's room even though he has gone blind as a bat from all the forgery work he did.
Good pick-up never made that connection.
@@harryd1664 well maybe its because youre...
blind as a bat.
Yeahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!
It was a pin that Pleasence saw.
@@liduck52 You're right, of course. After 50 years the memory tends to get a little unreliable.
Good catch!
I never even realized The guy who played Newman was in JFK that makes this joke even more hilarious
You did an exceedingly lovely job; your choice in the ending music track is absolutely brilliant. This gave me joy to watch!
This compilation is gold , Jerry. GOLD!
Always loved Seinfeld, but my appreciation just went up a notch.
Yaron, wow! I can’t imagine the time it took for you to make this video. The side by side comparison is immaculate! Never knew they were some many movie references in Seinfeld. Thanks to your great video now I know! :)
Feels like the type of high-production cinematic montage you'd see at the Academy Awards. Well done!
Platoon when Kramer asks George’s dad why he won’t cook the Jewish food, and Frank’s recollection of the troops he cooked for..
Yeah, but it's not similar enough to the original scene
Haha, yes one of the best in the business.
Jerry Stiller, may he rest in peace.
@@yaronbaruch someone mention Schindler's list. With the close talker...that one was 🤣
@@yaronbaruch uses the same music, it seems to be a reference
@@fajita2 yes I think it does 'reference' the movie also, not an interpretive re-creation (right word?)...
I've seen every Seinfeld episode multiple times and I didn't catch a lot of these. Thanks!
I've only seen a couple of those movies.
Me too, these are like Easter eggs.
Me neither, I got a few but most of these came as a surprise, the attention to detail it’s incredible.
I was going to like your comment; but, I have a very juvenile rule against liking if it will change the total from 69.
Wayne Knight being in the JFK movie as well is just fucking hilarious, going real meta there. Growing up as a small kid in northern europe I realized that many of these scenes were referencing something but never knew from where. Scenes in them selfes are truly funny but seeing this clip makes you appreciate them 10x more!
And him being in the same 'place' in both. And did you also catch that Wayne Knight was in both Basic Instinct and in the Seinfeld reference to it as well?
@@amsivertson yeah!
Yeah, and Wayne Knight's character in JFK is "Numa" Lol 😂
What’s amazing is that Wayne Knight was not only in one of the biggest TV shows, but was also in some of the biggest movies (Jurassic Park, Basic Instinct, and JFK) all around the same time!
I just realized Wayne Knight was in JFK. I guess I forgot and for him to be Newman makes me think did they come up with that scene because Wayne was in JFK? Or did it all just come together and be a coincidence?
This was fantastic!!! Really appreciate the production...seeing them all together was one thing but with the original clips!! Wow, great job!
Really really great
@@mjokeeffe7801 Are you related to Dan O'Keefe, the writer whose dad invented modern day Festivus?
@@CarynDPrescott no but I love what a coincidence that is
This was masterful. I basically have memorized every episode of Seinfeld, and now my watching has new meaning :) Thank you for this!
After 23 years, no one is still close to Seinfeld.
The greatest sitcom ever created.
It's hard to outdo old shows without redoing what's already been done.
IASIP gang attack
Agree. There will never be another show that comes close to this
Community was a vastly superior collection of pop culture references, social commentary, and political satire, too, than Seinfeld.
@@ShawnsterVideos It's not about references bro, it's about the efficiency in comedy.
LMAO to how many times Wayne Knight (Newman) was parodying his own performance from other flicks! Hahaha!
Twice
Seinfeld is seriously one of the best shows in history! This just adds another level to it that I didn't even really know about. There is not one single episode that doesn't make me laugh.
Well, it is a sitcom...so there's that. 🤣
I love this so much!! It’s gives more reason to be impressed with the details and Easter eggs they sprinkled throughout the seasons
Thanks !
What about that scene when Elaine's close talker boyfriend speaks like in Schindler's list. " This watch would have paid for trip, this ring means one more dinner"
That one's my favorite!
Exactly
That one was great!
Very good catch. I forgot that one.
And now I get that part. Thank you!
That Godfather II reference "Where I come to play with my toys" made me laugh! A brand new laugh from Seinfeld, thanks, man!
So many great references and Easter eggs in Seinfeld. Larry David is a comedy genius. Thanks for this!
Larry David and Seinfeld
Am I the only one that felt like crying at the end? That was beautiful.
This makes so much sense now! There were times watching Seinfeld where I just didn't get it or like I wasn't in on an inside joke!
Had no idea there were so many references to movies.
Thank you for this! Very well done! 😊
Some I got most went over my head. The show about nothing. Just keeps giving
Was it comedy or brainwashing?
This is so great! I'm a huge Seinfeld fan and instead of explaining the references to my husband, he watched this with me so now he gets it lol I'm so happy this compilation exists! Thank you!
Glad it was helpful!
Great video! There are many more references in the show. For example:
In "The Fatigues", the singles mixer fiasco is a reference for Platoon.
When Kramer goes to Hollywood there is another reference to Sunset Blvd. when his old neighbor yells as he's going up the stairs.
the old lady in Kramer's Hollywood episodes was a reference to Baby Jane from Whatever Happened to Baby Jane?
Part 2 needed! 😊
I'm pretty sure they referenced Cape Fear with a dream sequence of Uncle Leo doing pull-ups in prison.
@@therobz JERRY! HELLO!
Also Nicholson & Michelle pfifers "wolf" when Jerry start shaving his chest & comes in fuller & darker on a full moon .lol that payoff homage was aaauooo soo good.
This was VERY well done.
Thank you for taking the time to make this happen.
Holy crap I totally forgot that Wayne Knight was in JFK and in the exact same position during the reenactment. You just blew my mind.
And Basic Instinct
So glad I found this compilation. I’ve watched the entire series of Seinfeld probably 20 times and a lot of these references went over my head because I’ve never seen the corresponding movie. Thank you so much!!!
Thank you for watching!
One of the best moments in the whole show was that mail interrogation scene with Newman and Jerry lmao
The genius of Seinfeld. It’s like a onion, as you uncover another layer there are tears of joy.
I've seen a lot of these and didn't recognize that they were movie references from some of my favorite movies, even. Thanks for showing me what an idiot I am and how awesome these scenes were! Edit: This was expertly done Bravo!
Im in the same boat. Im obessed with Seinfeld and now just realizing I was too young to know a lot of these references.
@@818SFV same
Absolutely right......!!!👍🏼
Thanks!
You have fantastic editing skills, a labor of love, no doubt. thanks so much for making this awesome video.
💯 yes!
Man, that "Duck Soup" reference is a deeeep cut.
Also, Wayne Knight should win an Oscar for his ability to switch from drama to comedy. Hey: Jonah Hill did, right?
He only got nominated with moneyball and the wolf of wall street
The fact they got Wilfred Brimley to play the postmaster general in the Absence of Malice parody is amazing. Really great touch.
Love how it goes deep with Wilfred Brimley reprising the character .... thanks for making this video
This is absolutely incredible. I definitely knew some of these references but I had no idea there were so many! I'm already a fan of the show and have been for many many years, but this just makes me appreciate it so much more--to know how deep some of the humor goes. Thanks for putting this together.
He missed some including visiting hours
You forgot the reference to Schindler's List in "The Raincoats."
There is also the Cape Fear reference with Uncle Leo don't remember the episode
@@cryptthrasher2213 Yep.
@@cryptthrasher2213 "Jerry! Hello!" Lol
Didn't forget it, it just didn't sit well anywhere in the vid, maybe in the next one.
@@jonathanpence9067 ANSWER THE DAMN PHONE! lol
This show was pure comedy genius , always love it when they allow the comedians in charge to do whatever they want to do,give them complete control, this show was one big inside joke that somehow tens of millions understood
It was gold, Jerry. Gold!
This video. Is funny, interesting and melancholic. (The music did it) All at the same time.
Seinfeld and all their creative team were geniuses.
The person who put together this video is quite talented too. Thank you!
I didn't know almost any of these sequences were references. This just makes this show even better.
Seinfeld a masterpiece of comedic genius. The nuances to movies sublime. Yaron quite the accomplishment and dedication to enlighten us Seinfeld fans. Thank you.
You're a fantastic editor and movie buff. Thank you, man, really. One thing though, I wanted to see the reference of the movie "Platoon" with Frank cooking for his platoon in the war. I mean it was a bit on the nose, they even used the same music but still, I loved that scene.
This is why there will never be another sitcom like it ever again. Next level writing.
