I'm cracking up thinking about how someone from the show must have had to explain to Roger what his proposed role would be when asking him to be in the episode but only in a flashback done in the style of an old video as the spitter in the bushes in a scene parallel to...
In the original script they wrote it as Daryl Strawberry. But Strawberry was going through some troubles at the time and Hernandez knew him and thought him spitting on fans wouldn’t be very good for him. 😄 So he asked Roger McDowall who said yes!
Some of the younger posters refer to the "old video" used in the flashbacks. They are actually imitating old 8mm FILM, which is the format of the Zapruder film. They periodically cut to a guy shooting with an 8mm camera in the clips, suggesting his camera is the Zapruder equivalent, e.g. the important angle that photographed the actual "hit."
Haha i watch this show once every year here in Switzerland and never noticed that line before :), but after watching this video i was like wow maybe someone commented on that line xD
lol, isn't anybody curious about Kramer helping him move? He's extremely clumsy, and Newman is so big, he might knock something over! xD I think I'd take my chances with a well-respected moving company than those two.
There's an episode wich Kramer complaint to Elaine about a guy he just met was asking him to help moving to a new place, because he barely knew the guy. In this video we see Seinfeld, having this info in his head, in awe how both Kramer and Newman easily volunteer themselves to help Kieth's moving.
When I first saw Brock Purdy in the NFL especially as QB I wondered how many times he was picked on (in a good way or bad way) for his last name "pretty"!? Brock Pretty or Purdy. Then weeks later I thought of Newman, walking past Brock Purdy after Purdy-Boy lost the SF Superbowl game vs the evil Kansas City/Missouri Chefs!! Newman (walking with Kramer) mouths off "Nice game, Purdy boy!!".
You know of course that Wayne Knight plays a character named "Numa" in JFK. But there's another Newman connection. The man seen grabbing his son a short distance from the scene of the crime is based on a family who were feet away from JFK's limo when the fatal bullet hit, and reacted the same way. Their name: Newman.
Fun fact, in the script they wrote that Daryl Strawberry is the one that did it. But Keith Hernandez knew him and apparently Daryl was going through some problems and that him spitting on fans wouldn't be a good idea. So he asked Roger McDowell who said yes! 😄
Something doesn't add up. On June 14, 1987 the Mets were playing the Pirates in Pittsburgh. Keith Hernandez hit a double and a homer in a commanding 7-3 Mets victory. The Mets did lose to the Phillies at Shea exactly one time in 1987, and it was on September 7. Keith Hernandez did in fact commit an error in the top of the 5th. Keith Hughes hit a grounder to Hernandez with one on and no outs and Hernandez bobbled it. But then Steve Jeltz hit into a 6-4-3 double play, putting Wilson on 3rd with two outs. Dwight Gooden then struck out Don Carman for the third out and the Mets escaped the inning without allowing a run. The Phillies were up 1-0 at that point. The Mets would tie the game in the bottom of the inning, and Dwight Gooden hit a sac fly in the 6th to put the Mets up 2-1. But the Phillies had a 3-run 7th inning and the Mets never regained the lead. Keith walked in the 7th and again in the 9th, but the Mets weren't able to recover and lost 3-5. His error had basically no effect on the outcome of the game. In fact, his WPA of .250 was the highest of any Met that day...his contribution equaling basically a half of a win (each team starts at a 50% chance of winning so 25% is halfway to a win) He did commit an error but nobody on the Mets was even close to his win contribution that day. The closest was Wally Backman with a .090 WPA which came from his clutch pinch-hit single leading off the 9th. Keith Hernandez was on deck and walked, but Darryl Strawberry, Kevin McReynolds, and Gary Carter were all retired after that sealing the Phillies' victory,
Perhaps this episode of Seinfeld was written and aired BEFORE The Mengele Effect** kicked in and changed the details slightly. ** see X-Files Season 11 episode 4 (while it still exists as part of history!)
Oh ok fair enough, I'm not from America, so bits of the episode reminded me of it. Didn't know enough about the assassination to think the whole episode was based on it. People outside of America, aren't obsessed with America lol
@@whiteshadow59 The movie JFK was in theaters around this time. The main plot involved the trial speculating that indeed Lee Harvey Oswald didn't act alone.
Michael Richards is a genius. That spin move.
Visda58 that spin was seamless
and then 5 seconds later: "Oh you don't remember me?"
WHERE THE HELL IS THE GIF FOR THAT SPIN?!!
@@tweso1499 good point
Is a racist* x)
That 60's fashion style footage is pure gold, Seinfeld team deserved an award for it
Jerry's delivery of "But why? Why McDowell?" is so hilariously good.

Surely it was explained to him as an alternate interpretation of JFK's assassination.
@@magnetospin aaahhhhh 🤣

Roger still gets a check from time to time for this scene for just a couple bucks. Funny how licensing in TV works.
You can see Jerry cracking up when he sees the spin
They even got the umbrella man! Lol
newman should have really called him Pretty Boy! cause of his effeminate umbrella to keep him out of the sun, which is a great and rare idea!
Roger McDowall must be a good bloke with a strong sense of humour.
He must have caught a glimpse of Newman when he poured that beer on his head
Roger McDowell gets $13.52 everytime this episode airs.
That's my current hourly salary, minus four cents. Unfortunately, to the best of my knowledge, this specific episode doesn't air eight times a day.
@@fromthehaven94 Remember seinfeld aires all over the world, so its probably more than 8 times a day.
@@Canadiankiid93 Even if you can prove that, Roger McDowell probably earned more money in a season than my current net worth.
Canadiankiid93 does amazon streaming counts?
Wow, if this show aired 8 times a day, R. McDowell would get $108.16/day. Multiply that by 365 days a year, that’s $39,478.40 a year!!
*There was a Lone Spitter on the Gravely Road...*
"Back and to the left" *News reporter voice*🤣😅😭
The way Kramer gets hit is priceless
Classic! !!! One of the best bits ever.
Unmatched level of writing!
"Nice game pretty boy.." - Newman
"...no wonder you're extinct"
Keith reminds me of one of those really bad actors pre-1950 but strangely, it adds to the comedic appeal.
they had a really good casting director on Seinfeld.
@@PretentiousStuff the best
One of the best episodes ever.
Wayne Knight is very much an underated comedian!!!
That is one magic lugie.
I'm hit!
Brilliant Zapruder reenactment

They actually just dragged the film over a gravely road if I'm not mistaken.
1:30-1:34 LOL!!!!!!!!!!
How has anyone not commented on this quote?????
Haha i watch this show once every year here in Switzerland and never noticed that line before :), but after watching this video i was like wow maybe someone commented on that line xD
It's brilliant 😂
But why? Why McDowell?
Well, maybe because we were sitting in the right field stands, cursing at him in the bullpen all game.
@@Blues05216 And he must've caught a glimpse of us when I poured the beer on his head.

Newman is a mailman so theoretically he should be able to handle carrying boxes. But with that said I wouldn't let him move any of my stuff.

I want to see the bloopers from this episode
One of my all-time favorite episodes.
That gravelly road😂😂😂
Dramatic entrance from Kramer 😂😂
Watch closely, Jerry almost loses it after Kramer comes in.

cool facts
what a tangled web of coincidences
wow, cool coincidences
Is this true? Or is this some of those "war what is it good for?" stories Seinfeld used to tell Elaine?

Absolute class. Great upload, thanks
Guys don't hold grudges like women do
Ok, ok, I still say there was a 2nd spitter. It was Dykstra atop the big apple !!
Wish they would’ve made the scene with Kramer and Newman helping Keith move his stuff lol
that twirl though 🤣🤣🤣
Fun fact, in the script they wrote that Daryl Strawberry is the one that did it.

Newman never got as big a laughs as he deserved.
The fucking old film projector noise 😂😂😂
That’s Larry David shining throughout.
Second Spitter!
0:00 MJ 😂
Jimmy Benyoucef kramer must have been a huge mj fan. That would explain the white socks and short pants he wore in the entire show

I wish I could find the French language clip of this scene. It was even funnier.
So it WAS McDowell!!! I KNEW IT!!!!
The JFK Defense
Why McDowell 😂😂
oh noooooooo do they break all the fragile stuff?
Handle it like a baby.
"June 14th!"
How adults (semi adults) used to talk it out over. Like civilized people.
Nice game pretty boy
But WHY?
WHY McDowell?
LMAO.
There was a second shooter 😂
Sienfield encourage me to be a bad person
How?
1:30
Kramer is nutzo. Lol 😆
There was a third spitter
Kind of reminds me of the Kennedy assassination this clip
Sarcasm, or what?
isn't that what it was based on?
That's what the whole episode was based on
