- Seinfeld also talks about the early days, before the show was popular, what it would be like if they were making "Seinfeld" today, and the "Italian-Jewish confusion" at the heart of the Costanza clan. Recorded at Hulu's Digital NewFront presentation at New York City's Hammerstein Ballroom on April 29th, 2015.
I love the episode where Kramer's apartment is turned into The Merv Griffin Show. It's just pure insanity.
THat's after Larry David left and the shows became very surreal, my other favourite is the Chicken Roaster sign, and Mr. Marbles. Nuts!
Oh yeah, The Chicken Roaster sign is fabulous! I love it when Jerry and Kramer switch roles :D
Lol I like when he's like we'll take a short break and takes a quick drink of a coca cola or something then gets right back to the show lolol
+GyroLamb
Yeah, that's hilarious :D He even burbs after the zip of his coke. The bloopers from that scene are awesome too.
+Rollo Larson
Wow that's nice! I thought it looked pretty cool.
Philip baker hall as the "library cop" was excellent. one of the best acted episodes of the entire history of Seinfeld
Most definitely. RIP, Philip Baker Hall.
He certainly played it well but it’s one of the episodes at the bottom of my list.
And, sadly... he's recently left us, to go to that book arcadium in the sky. R.I.P., Bookman/Phillip 📗📘📙📖
I agree; that monologue he had in Jerry's apartment is absolutely brilliant.
Mr bookman
"Social media has made the world more annoying". Favorite quote from this video.
Like the ANNOYING using a cellphone camera that can't be held still for 2 seconds and sound that sucks.
Everyone laughing while on their phones.
FACTS.
...you say while engaged in social media.
@@jamesoblivion they are literally designed to be addictive and hard to quit haha
I loved the smoking in Kramer’s apartment episode. When jerry said he looked like an old catcher’s mitt. Kramer said ‘look away, I’m hideous’. I lost it!🤣
The outtakes of that episode are hilarious.
what episode is that ?
@@finfowler7518 I like the one where Kramer is for what reason I cannot remember pretending to be a movie automated phone message when someone calls and gives the whole spiel pretty well but finally when it is not working so efficiently says to the caller "why don't you just tell me the movie you would like to see". I know I have not described it well but if anyone can take the hand-off and fill in the holes I would appreciate it. For some reason this part I found hilarious!
Top 5 episode you speak of... Classic
I was screaming with laughter!😂🤣
"The sea was angry my friend.Like an old man trying to send back soup in a deli"
I believe you left out "that day" ? "The sea was angry that day, my friend"
That’s my favorite episode too!!
“A hole in one!”
What's that, a titlelist?
That was one of the best for sure! Also, the one about George treating his "body like an amusement park". 🤣
They got the longest sustained studio audience laughter on that last scene. That was a last minute scene that was added 10 minutes before shooting. Crazy lol.
Any episode with Jackie Chiles was just gold, gold Jerry
Jason Alexander's superb acting helped make the show even more incredible. GOAT.
True, but I think Michael Richards is one of the three greatest character actors in history...the other two being Don Knotts and Stuart Margolin.
Yes !
Nick ... Brilliant writing, acting, content
a little Kramer went a long way with me. I was always about George.
When the "worst" character on the show outshines the 3 best, you have a hit show. Jason Alexander was the best!!
Legendary show. Timeless. You appreciate it more when you’re older.
Exactly
Yea bc you get more boring as you get older, def not for young people. I used to hate driving 30mph now its all I do
@@adgar912 😂
I actually enjoyed this show as a kid but that was because it was always on TBS and Kramer is basically a real life cartoon character
Wrong. Literally every young person knows and likes Seinfeld. Stop being a boomer
I was born in 91, seinfeld was huge in the 90s. Kind of crazy how the most popular shows setting would be the setting of a world changing terrorist attack only 3 years later. Crazy for me anyway, as a kid seinfeld was all I knew about NY until 9/11 happened
"Is it just me or is that a lot of gum...."
"IT'S A LOT OF GUM!!"
Am I crazy or is that a lot of gum?
+JFKLEGACY that is a lot of gum, and you're still crazy
THAT'S the line. Dammit, I fucked it up!
must be Sean Spicer
Can't watch, too much gum.
George having a bed built in his desk is genius
Conrad Connie or con...whichever you prefer

My girlfriend and I entered a Seinfeld trivia tournament last week and came in second place last week. Lol. We were up against a table of 8 at the end, so considering, we did well, with only 2 people. She's VERY knowledgeable in the early years and I'm dangerous from like seasons 4-9. It was a lot of fun. Greatest show ever and the reason we met. Who would have thought I'd meet my lifelong love via Seinfeld.
thats so cute :^)
im proud of you. 8 on 2 is pretty insurmountable. i beat my friends in seinfeld scene it 3 vs 1. i was answering questions before the game would even ask them just by knowing what the scene was gunna be about (fugitive sex, for example). i would love to try seinfeld quizzo.
plus, you know one of those 8 assholes was on their phones...
Good shit, pal. She sounds like a keeper!
Who would think someone could meet their lifelong love from watching Married with Children. LOL.
thats a fantastic tale. i had a seinfeld bond with my wife at one time.then i "took it out"
"why would anybody with a pony come to a non-pony country"
🤣🤣🤣
What about the Pony express?
He was a good pony, and I loved him!
I ched a pony!
"it doesn't make any sense....! Am I wrrong?"
"Now I'm driving the bus". That's my favorite scene. Best scene of any show EVER!!!
+Matt Ramage ya kept making the stops?
+sni1144 well they kept ringing the bell
you're Batman!
+gArBgebIN I am batman
+Matt Ramage Never cried so hard .. "Well people kept riging the bell"
George : " Jerry, you KNOW I've always wanted to pretend I was an architect. "
Their satire on the Kennedy assassination was the best writing I've seen. That was one magic loogy!
You must be under 40 years old. The whole magic bullet thing goes way back to 1964. Mark Lane's
response to Arlin Spector. Oliver Stone just exploited the ignorance of the average person that knows nothing about it.
Yes, I was hilarious that Wayne was in both.
There was a second spitter!!
Over on the gravely road (grassy knoll)
That was a very good one. Good season too
I have probably watch every episode 50 times, I never get sick of them. Love you all, thanks for the memories.
Same! I have been watched the show from beginning to end (in sequence) probably at least 30 times 🤣 and I've seen the show out of order 100 times
Seinfeld is the #1 show of all time with It's Always Sunny a close second. I could watch those two shows and nothing else for the end of time
Me too. I got the dvds. I alsi have and re-watch Taxi, Cheers, Moonlighting, Perfect Strangers, Curb Your enthusiasm
Me and my wife play s game where we have to name the episode as quickly as possible. We usually do it within the first 30 seconds weve seen then so much. Hands down best comedy ever written
You and me both I drive my daughter nuts, she also hates me using quotes from the show. Long live Seinfeld.
@@c0pyimitati0n Seinfeld Is growing on me a lot I like sunny aswell but I think the office is my favorite I’ve rewatched more than any other show and it never gets old for me !!! Lol 😆 gotta love some good ol tv!
The episode where George discovers that his fiance Susan has a doll that looks JUST LIKE his Mother is one of the funniest things I've ever seen in my life ! I just lose it every time he starts imagining that the doll is yelling at him like his Mother does! Estelle: "WHY DIDN'T YOU WEAR ANOTHER SHIRT ??? " George: " ...shut up....SHUT UP !!"
Omg then frank does it lol
Dont tell me how to eat
George's parents are awesome in every scene they're in
Greatest sitcom ever. And I love that it takes me back to the sunny days of the 1990's, with those hairstyles and everything. I was 10 years old and my dad had the same hairstyle as Jerry
No way! Gilligan;s Island was first, and Partridge Family was second.
@@BillMorganChannel throw in Brady Bunch and you have a helluva after school TV plan in mid to late 70's ... I was there 😃
During the early 1990s, I finally got a real job, and my wardrobe was very similar to Elaine's. I started going to church during that time,and the pastor told me, "We don't meet on the night Seinfeld is on. No one shows up."
My favourite is The Opposite. On another level. Philosophical.
My wife and I watched the entire series 2 times. Completely all the way, every show, every minute of it and we thank all of you for your work.
Twice?
@@carlosgil1469 hehe.......yea, how bout 30??
Only 2x, dude??? You two are lightweights. Many of us have seen the the entire series way more than that.
I've watched it twice in the last few months.... For the upteenth time
Those are rookie numbers
Love all the episodes especially when Jerry and George parents are in them !!!
We're gonna be in the pool. We're gonna be in the clubhouse. We're gonna be all over THAT SHUFFLEBOARD COURT
Estelle Harris was superb! IMO, the third best actor on the show, after Kramer and George.
no other show has as many classic episodes as Seinfeld.
The marine biologist monologue is utterly epic
The sea was angry that day
Fish.
Mammal.
@@markon.1142
like an old man trying to send soup back at a deli
The writing is good, but Kramer's facial reaction is what seals it.
@Tony wrong
They don't make TV like this anymore. This show was and always will be the greatest comedy on TV of all time. Hands down.
Was there a llama chewing nicotine gum near the camera?
Prolly the dahli llama
+CountArtha disgusting.
+Joe Zero it's the internet, not an essay for the SAT. who cares
More like Dolly Llama. CUZ IT'S A CAMERA
CountArtha and rustling wrappers, disgusting
The episode where Kramer finds the Merv Griffin show set and decides to turn his lif into a Merv Griffin show was just brilliant. When Newman says "maybe we could get a guest host", and Kramer says "I'll pretend I didn't hear that"
That episode is my absolute favorite.
To the chewer: The gum store called .........
Dom R they rub out of gun
Lloyd brawn got him a box
@Brian Warner if you would have watched Seinfeld you would have got the joke. Now you just embarrassed yourself instead
😂
Tesfay so you edited your comment and you still put rub, are you autistic? Serious question
The greatest episode is "Man Hands". It's amazing how many "stories" they fit into that ONE episode.
The hands, Bizarro Jerry, George trying to get into the club, Kramer fake working, fantastic episode.
& it flows together so well.
I had a "Man Hands" experience on a plane once with a stewardess. I also had a "Low Talker" experience in the airport before that, even had to put my ear up to the woman's mouth.
BINGO!! Me too... we laugh our fool heads off recounting when those huge hands grab Jerry's hands from out of the purse and CRUNCH! Cut to the next scene and Jerry's hands are in a sling...hysterical
the marine biologist episode was brilliant, like most of the episodes...
absolutely... and the first coffee shop scene between Jerry and George is even better than the one at the end: "Now you should be aware, that at this moment, she is under the impression that you are". :"That I am what?". "A marine biologist".
The seas were angry, my friend....
@@tjwag I was gonna write that.
My favorite episode!
Imagine writing a show so ahead-of-its-time that Generations later people are still catching up
Exactly!!
The one where they go to India and the show is backwards is absolutely my favorite. Then the limousine .. oh my goodness. Also opposite George is brilliant.
You cannot buy plane tickets to foreign country like India(it's not Mexico or Canada) just like that and hop on a plane, you need passport, visa which takes time, waiting period, and the ticket prices are exorbitant. Elaine buys tickets not only for herself but three of her friensd too. It's absurd and illogical but funny nonetheless
Cool he recognized Wayne Knight when he was rattling off main casts names... Newman was great
Absolutely one of the BEST sitcoms of all times!!!!
+amy rushing THE BEST SHOW in the history of Television in my humble, bumble opinion !
+amy rushing-Agreed!!! With Get Smart being 'A'. Followed by Seinfeld, being '1A'.😉
Looks like you accidentally put 'one of' in your comment.
*the best
The Betrayal
Jerry: “We’re neighbors, what’s mine is yours”
Kramer: “Really?” 😂
Haha,yep. And so it begins
One of the highlights of my life was getting to see Jerry live. He came all the way to Perth WA. Big stars a lot of the time just tour the east coast and move on. What a champ.
Jerry knows who made him rich. I've seen him about 12 times live, and he is fabulous every performance. So glad you got to see him in Perth.
I grew up watching it and as as adult I can't believe how they have managed to cover every aspect of humanity. Literally any issue you have, there's a Seinfeld reference. So amazing.
I say that to my kids all the time.
I think The Shower Head is the best episode. It has EVERYTHING … the Costanza parents, the Seinfeld parents, Newman, Peterman throwing Kramer out of Elaine’s office followed by his opium monologue, discussion of Uncle Leo’s sex appeal, Jerry & George trying to get their parents out to Florida, “low flow? I don’t like the sound of that,” Kramer vs. elephant shower head, “PICK A GLASS MRS. SEINFELD!” I mean, it’s absolute comedic perfection.
"That's quite a feedbag you're working on there."
Nate James best comment
Thats Gold
Got a bat?
@@chop3625 need a glove?
Brody: Nah.
“It’s for all of us!!”
Newman going to court for a speeding ticket, favorite episode.
I think it was parking tickets?
@@mrloop1530 Nope, he was speeding because he needed to save Kramer from offing himself. It was to save a man's life!
@@LaborHours All he wanted was to love, to be loved, and to be a banker!!!
YOU YOU YOU YOU CAN'T LIVE WITHOUT BEING A BANKER!!!
lmaooooo that's one of the best Seinfeld moments, Newman is one of the best characters xD

Hey gum chewer: The jerk store called... they're running out of you
😂😂😂😂😂
What's the difference your there best seller😂😂
I don’t hear any gum chewing.
Lol
@@Kruppt808 *you’re
I saw him live and I watch the reruns. He and his show are so funny yet,
somehow comforting at the same time. My two favorite shows of all time:
"All in the Family" and "Seinfeld." They were both, "The Best Jerry, the Best."
Rubinowitz, Rubinowitz and......................what was that third one, Meathead?
Too many depressing episodes in All in the family. Sitcoms are supposed to be funny.
I think Brody recorded this.
The one witty remark out of all the comments about the shaky camera.
He's a reasonable man.
That's quite a feedbag you got there...
He needed the tape.....to post on TH-cam
Cry, Cry Again was amazing
I didn't even known Seinfeld existed for half my childhood, and then my mom pulled out a box of DVD's, and now it's one of my favorite shows, a perfect way of killing time.
The episode where everything goes right for George, wrong for Elaine and even Steven for Jerry is my favorite.
Give me 20 bucks!
I agree about the marine biologist. That story is great. It makes an amazing scene.
+Billy Bong That day, I WAS a marine biologist.
+Liane Lonergan is that a tidalist?
+Billy Bong Easy big fella!
+Billy Bong IT MUST OF BEEN 10 FEET LONG IF IT WASNT A FOOT!
+Billy Bong Titleist
Love the one where Kramer's apartment is turned into the merv griffin show. Classic episode
Amateur hour. We watch the whole series through at least once a year for the past 13 years. And dip in and out of our favorite episodes. :)
That episode was the hardest I ever laughed at the show, when Kramer asks if its a Titleist, LOLZ.
"Hole in one"
The dialog from George is gold
The BRILIANT Seinfelds are more relevant today than they ever were. Those shows are doing more for depression than Prozac
Great point
Laughter is the best medicine my friend. The best medicine.
We honestly don't seen enough of Jerry these days,he's awesome, his and Larrys humour is basically...saying what we are all thinking, only in a very funny way, love em to bits : )
“They’re real....and they’re spectacular!”
Best Sitcom ever.
I have a Jerry Seinfeld story for you. I was working as a valet for a notable LA restaurant when i was in my twenties. We had celebs come in often, but everyone got super excited when Seinfeld came to eat one night. So, as bad luck would have it, I was the one who had to park Seinfelds car. I go park the car as i normally do, takimg great care not to disturb anything about the car. He eats and comes to pick his car up. When i pull up he claims he "heard me hot rodding his car", and demands we pull up the security footage immediately. I wasnt worried because i did nothing wrong. We watch the footage and as soon as he sees there are no signs of foul play he turns and starts to walk out of the office without another word. I called after him.."Hey, Jerry!...Thanks for the tip, you piece of trash." I was fired immediately.
Did you give the car horrible BO?
That’s terrible. I can only assume you are telling the truth. It’s awful when tv or movie stars are rude.
I was there, and that's not what happened. You actually defecated in his car and he was fuckin pissed, as he had every right to be. When he checked the security footage, it showed you squatting in his drivers seat. The funny thing is, he wasn't so mad about the shit, he was more upset that you didn't wash your hands!!!
He has a reputation for being a dbag. Not hard to find footage of this in intweviews and what not. You get a glimpse of it in the Comedians in Cars episode with Fallon. And he isnt really shy about it. Still Love his style and Seinfeld is still one the best sitcoms to hit the small screen. I Do give Larry David a Lot, if not most, of credit for it tho.
Joshua La Rue Absolutely right. The last two seasons when Larry left you can tell the comedy got more slapstick, not nearly as biting and sarcastic. The last two years it was a run-of-the-mill comedy versus the first six or seven years with Larry where it was absolutely the gold standard best show ever
all time great show, holds up great 20+ years later. Obviously the George and Kramer characters (which were way over the top) were the funniest, but Jerry was the glue that helped tie it all together, and he spouted many of the catch-phrases that became common parlance. So many great episodes. Love the ones where Newman is involved in some kind of get-rich scheme with Kramer or the others.
These pretzels are making me thirsty
THESE pretzels are making me THIRSTY!
Do you know anything about these pretzel guy?
There is no such thing as an overnight success. You have to keep at it and never give up. Even arguably the funniest show on TV fits that bill.
Thanks Jerry and Larry David! This was the greatest show ever made! Even today I will checkout the reruns out and it's still incredibly funny after seeing the show a numerous times! Seinfeld is a complete masterpiece! I will love the show forever!
Unsurprisingly, Seinfeld recognizes one of the finest bits of the whole series: the last speech in the marine biologist episode. My personal favorite, too, but there are about twenty competitors (give or take).
I actually didn't watch the show much in the 90s, when I was in my 20s. I got into it much later, and really love it. I may be one of the few who thinks the last episode was actually note-perfect. Seriously. I wasn't invested when I first saw it, years after the broadcast. Those characters definitely deserved their fate in that episode; it really cast an entirely different light over the whole series, which is probably what people didn't dig. These guys are funny, yes, but they're also near-sociopaths. I liked the exposure of the darkness underneath the comedy.
I've probably had too much coffee today, but to go on... It's also been a pleasure to see Seinfeld's late-career Comedians, etc. Better and worse episodes, but when it's really good -- like, e.g., the one with Sarah Jessica Parker -- it's fine stuff.
Seinfeld's also really excellent on analyzing comedy; he just has that detached, analytic mind a critic really needs. Honestly, I would love to watch him give a lecture series on comedy -- or make a documentary -- or whatever. With him free to be as funny or not about it, as he sees fit. It'd really fascinating, I think.
''The sea was angry that day, my friends. Like an old man chewing gum while recording''
Adevarat 😂😂
I thought George was Latvian Orthodox!
+hanscombe72 Well, just for the hats.
+hanscombe72 I thought George was a Marine Biologist.
+carultch He's an architect!
+Jixxy Trix everything you all think he is, he will always be the opposite
+Ernesto Ychikawa He's BIZARRO George!
Library cop ftw - NONE of the other sitcoms of the era (or since) could even begin to approach that episode. George's obsession with being an architect was consistently funny even in episodes that didnt have me laughing out loud.
I concur.
I always wanted to pretend to be an architect
The other day, I was in the shower, then all of a sudden, "Penske", popped into my head. I had to chuckle to myself, "Your not Penske material".
Play with it, don't talk to it!
There's a band called The Penske File lol
I work in the Youngstown Ohio and there is a great big yellow truck with Penske on it and every time I see it I think of the penski file.
i wouldve thought in the shower "garbage disposal" wouldve popped into your head first.
I am though
Seinfeld is still the best thing on TV
Jerry's comment about Seinfeld done today was so funny and true.
Why would Kramer ever need to come into Jerry's apartment when he could just text him?
That wouldn't be Kramer!
+Pianoman 70s style Kramer would clearly reject new technology.
Diamond Girl True, as I reread my comment before reading your response the same thought came to mind. Food. lol
+Pianoman 70s style Jerry's fridge
Sahil Makhijani Then there's that. lol
"The sea was angry that day my friends... Like an old man trying to send back soup in a deli." I loved that scene so much!
The show just never gets old, I still watch it every day on regular TV. It will always be relevant. Larry and Jerry are comic geniuses...
💯 absolutely
Best part about this clip. Jerry doing the right thing and repeating the question for all to hear before answering.
still watch the shows today in 2019...they still crack me up! Am I alone with that?
I have watched the show so many times I can just about say it word for word .Brilliant
U will never be alone watching this show Anna, this is comedy's gold, sitcoms finest, I will be watching this show till the day I die.
I bought the entire series on Amazon Prime. I watch practically every day.
@@alanrix5344 Same!!
I love that I can watch this in reruns still on broadcast TV before I go to bed. It takes me back in time. None of that hulu crap for me. There's something enjoyable about timing the commercials just right. Streaming it just wouldn't take me back in time.
Looking back at the show... the four main characters were all 10/10. Well thought of characters that were masterfully done by the actors. To me Kramer is what makes this show timeless.
This show raised me. Taught me a lot. Thanks Jerry.
Soup Nazi, Mohel, Kramer w Japanese tourists, Bubble Boy sticks out for me. They're all so hilarious in their own way. I just rewatched the series again! It's a national treasure!
Just looked it up: Jerry speaking the TRUTH about the ratings. #42 in 91/92. #25 in 92/93. I always assumed they were ALWAYS at or near the top. Paid his dues.
"The sea was angry that day, my friends!
Like an old man trying to send back soup at a deli..."
a genius line
I STARTED WATCHING SEINFELD 10+ YRS AFTER IT ENDED & CAN WATCH THEM AGAIN & AGAIN!!
The Marine Biologist is also my favorite episode. I literally about cry laughing just thinking about it. LOL!
I just had the greatest pleasure of watching Seinfield followed by Curb your Enthusiasm (which I finished this week) for the first time. It is classic, timeless comedy which will never age.
What a blast it would be to have Jerry as a neighbor.
Jon Hohensee doubt it, I heard he's a prick in real life
Great show tho
He’d probably be a real pain in the ass
@@MaximumCarne - YOU would.
@@mikep6043 - You can hear a LOT of things about celebrities. But how well do you actually know them?
You wouldn't need to worry about buying groceries.
I only realized at the very end that this is 8 years old 😮. Wow, incredible show. Thank you
Marine biologist has always been my favorite episode. The second the golf ball comes out cracks me up every time.
The quote from "The Airport" episode works here, "Yeah, chew your gum a little louder. That's helpful." -Elaine
Lol, I can't do it. The eating noises are too loud and gross.
" Yeah, make a little more noise with your gum; that's helpful"
LOL, this is probably the best response to the gum chewing! :)
The Library Cop! The actor was amazing. I have watched this episode so many times and always lmao.
my favorite one is the man whit the cape episode when Larry David was wearing the cape in Manhattan!
“ I jumped on the bus. I told the bus driver 'I've got a toe here buddy, step on it!”
Thanks for sharing this even though I'm only seeing it for the 1st time now 2024. I really enjoy the Seinfeld reruns. I can't believe it's been approx 30 years since it was on TV. The cast had great chemistry. 👍
I mean, in terms of aging, Jerry's hair is the only thing that has somewhat diminished. But a wig on him and he'd look just like he did in the series.
Victor Liedholm Looks way better now than he did in the show
+frankmat Are you guys totally insane? You mean he's not actually drooling? He looks his age.
+comprehensiveboy no he looks like a million dollars now times a thousand
+Victor Liedholm I was just thinking he looks a bit like Gilbert Gottfried
+Victor Liedholm Why the hell would he want to wear a wig?
"JERKSTORE!! I'm goin' with JERKSTORE!! lol
But.....there ARE no jerkstores. #duebackattheZooby6
Ya?! Well, I had sex with YOUR wife!
chew gum louder next time you make a video
I'm laughing hysterically at this for some reason
For every situation in real life - There's a Seinfeld for that.
It's true.
I waited a long time for seinfeld to be shown streaming online, and then hulu got it, so I guess the wait will go on.
I stream Seinfeld through Putlocker
ExRussian86 that sounds dirty! lmao!!!!
yesmovies.to or solarmovies for free . Also there´s an app called Movie Box where u can watch all the movies and series for free. Good luck on your search
Do you need to borrow $11?
Gary McCaffrey nbbnmikiiiivvkivbvñ
And now with it on Netflix, it's love for "Seinfeld" all over again! Thanks for the laughs!
George: I never saw anyone so beautiful. It was at that moment I decided to tell her I was not a marine biologist!
Jerry: wow! What did she say?
George: she told me to go to hell, and I took the bus home.
I have the entire series and still watch it every night for the past 2 n half years
I saw Jerry do a show a few months ago. He was great. He is such a "clean" comic, but still gets shit for being to politically incorrect...hard to understand
PC doesn't always mean cuss words, I think it's more a sensibility thing. We're becoming a culture where everyone 'has to be nice' so we're in some real danger of people not being funny anymore. I wish more could comprehend the difference between telling a joke for a laugh and being an asshole. They're very different and I always think it's obvious to tell. Apparently I'm wrong. =/
ExireHG
yea it's getting ridiculous...I know it doesn't always mean cuss words, but suggestiveness. He is a "classic" comic in the way he keeps the form pure. College campuses used to be a big part of comedy tours; now some of the biggest names in comedy won't do it anymore...which is a shame, because the people bitching are getting their way
You guys realize it's entirely possible to make jokes that don't make fun of entire groups of people, right?
I'm not saying those jokes are wrong. I'm just saying they're hardly the only kind.
I like Michael Richards' take on racial diversity. They say he's too edgy , but I don't know any other way.
He mentioned some years ago that he can't do college standups due to all the people that are offended by everything. Some other big-name comics said the same thing. Ironic that Liberalism stifled freedom of speech...
The brilliance of the show was that the actors did their scenes like they were doing it for themselves. The whole show as an inside joke. No one was overacting to sell a punchline
Beautiful show! I'll never forget it!!
Loved working for 9 years with this guy on Seinfeld 👍
A few years back, I was interviewing Treat Williams for The Hollywood Reporter, and I was telling him how much my family and I loved the soundtrack to the movie "Hair." He said, "Thank you. You know it was ahead of its time with the slap bass, like the have in the 'Seinfeld' theme." So, jerk that I am, I had to point out that the "Seinfeld" theme actually used keyboard slap bass.
The best show ever. The characters were great together. Great acting and brilliant writing by Jerry and Larry. I still watch it and laugh at tithe same things I have for years.
They had many many other writers not just them
The episode "The Opposite" where George does EVERYTHING the opposite of what he would normally do. Phenomenal concept. Well written and acted.
