There's a scene in this episode that I never truly got. Jerry, George, and Elaine are in the coffee shop and George is raising his voice about Jerry not liking the gift he got him. The manager comes over says "if you boys cannot control yourselves, I'm going to have to ask you to leave ". He then turns his head showing an earring in his left ear. Was this a way of him saying that he was also gay? Not that there's anything wrong with it.
It is great acting. There are several minichanges that I tried to dissect: from listening to confusion, to consternation, to realization. Or sth like it. In any case, within a couple of seconds a lot of expressions
@@matheuscruz8574totally! I love SEINFELD. However with all this woke culture I wonder how many of its episodes would be receive today…but for me is before and after Seinfeld ❤❤❤
Notice she says, "You should see how my boyfriend talks to me." Then she smooches Jerry a couple scenes later. She sure ended things fast with the boyfriend.
I think the fact George went along with the eavesdrop was one of the most fun and playful things his character has ever done. I would've expected him to have Jerrys reaction.
This has gotta be easily in my top 5 favorite Seinfield scenes. Especially that look on George's face when he suddenly realizes what's happened. And then how Kramer shows up at the end.
Proof a show was truly great is when you have seen every episode , you know what's going to happen, can even repeat the dialog before it's said, and still laugh you ass off anyway while watching it.
My wife always gets on me for the same thing and I always tel her just to wash it if it isn’t clean enough for you. She’s the type to sit there and wash fruit for a like two minutes straight and I’m the type to just rinse it a second or two.
I read somewhere (sorry, don't remember where) that NBC would not accept the episode and then the show inserted that line which then passed the censors.
@@michaelbayer5094 No, that's not what happened. The writers were trying to figure out how to make it not-offensive and realized it would be funnier if they were concerned both about seeming gay (cuz they're homophobic) and also about seeming homophobic.
This was one of those shows that I taped as I watched it in case I laughed too hard at something and missed the next line. Thankfully, I had taped this one because I had to go back and rewatch it to catch a few lines I missed. Such a quotable episode!
+Jeff Baker Actually, TH-cam has a policy on not doing that. It says that if you do, TH-cam will redirect some guy with the "potential" of pointing out that it's not OK to do it, to the exact same video where you posted the comment. Loop closed.
M. Wasiq Wasim exactly. If this were today show, they all would have been fired... and everyone of them would apologize until end of time. Woke and PC culture kill comedy.
This episode got an award from the GLADD organization for the season in which it aired. Seinfeld will return to Netflix next year, and it will be airing on Viacom networks in the same time frame. The "people would get fired these days" bullshit is a difficult assertion to prove.
Edward T oh please, the joke only worked because being gay was a joke and ridiculed at the time. Fortunately, society has moved passed being gay as a big deal. thank god the world has grown up and only an idiot would see this as a joke if it were done today,
An early episode, and very underrated. Rarely makes top 10 lists. Great writing and acting all around, including Jerry, but especially Jason. And there's something really sexy about that reporter.
I've seen people complain about this episode in the past few months. When it came out, it was given a GLAAD Media Award (Gay and Lesbian Alliance Against Defamation). And personally, I don't see what's wrong with not wanting to be identified as the sexuality that you don't identify as.
This show was comedy gold. One of the funniest tv shows I have ever seen and its humour can be related to any country or culture perhaps in any era, because humans when they are serious, under stress and neurotic are actually very funny, this show is a keen observer of that and captures it beautifully with these three New Yorkers, even though it is set in an apartment block in Manhattan New York in the 1990s.
"My parents? Ha! They don't know what's going on!"
zufgh incredible line
Parents know everything except for me
"My father's gay"
"my cousin's in a bubble"
"George's dead"
"Come on! Let's go, baby!"
she is paula marshall
@@onarix well it's tg
I love how Jerry knows something is wrong, but can't quite put a finger on it...
That's why he has earned over a billion on this show. Being natural when you act is what separates the mediocre ones from the good ones.
+Reason and George is totally oblivious lol
+Reason Fantastic Observation. That's what helps sells the scene too..
+darthen856 and what puts it over the top is when he immediately realizes the situation after he finds out who she is
LOL Sweet
The way George shouts “oh no!” when he realizes what has happened is absolutely amazing.

@@giraffesareselfish9563 I think back then the earring in the right ear meant you were gay.
@@stumarston6812 yes. So again I don't really understand that scene, or maybe it wasn't really meant as anything
My father's gay! That just kills me.
Me too. the Costanza king is waltzing in, in a prideful way haha
And it would actually kill Frank, I'm sure!
typically george: he'd sell his own family just to get away with stuff :)
he needs Jesus just as much as other sinners do
I can hear that a 1,000 times and still laugh.
Kramer always shows up, with the wrong things to say, at the worst times. So funny !
And note that after Kramer says his line she pulls out her pencil and jots it down while smiling. Gotcha! This is gifted script-writing.
i try to be that person in my friends group!
you have any idea why nobody calls me anymore? :)
at least we had a blast
3:12 Notice how Jason goes from cool and collected to paranoid and ballistic in the blink of an eye? Thats some of the best acting ive ever seen
He transition was expectacular 🤣🤣🤣
Totally! Damn, that was perfect.
And he ne er won an Emmy for the shows entire run. Such a shame.
It is great acting. There are several minichanges that I tried to dissect: from listening to confusion, to consternation, to realization. Or sth like it. In any case, within a couple of seconds a lot of expressions
He was acting without acting.
We’ll never see a show like this again. Timeless. People will still be watching it after 50 years, wishing they lived in the 90’s.
Frasier... and Seinfeld. Best sitcoms ever
@@Mark-hc8ek There are like two or three Communist countries in the world. The Reds are a Red Herring.
Seinfeld is the pure essence of the '90s
True, I already lived through the 90s and wish I could again
@@matheuscruz8574totally! I love SEINFELD. However with all this woke culture I wonder how many of its episodes would be receive today…but for me is before and after Seinfeld ❤❤❤
The best line in Seinfeld, "I've been outed! I wasn't even in!"
The acting is incredible, down to the most subtle movements which makes it funny!
Yep,truly a classical show and timeless its still funny now .I still watch reruns of this and it still is funny all these years later .
@@leejee88 me too, still to this day 🤭
"My parents? They dont know whats going on" IM DEAD 😂
😂😂
Notice she says, "You should see how my boyfriend talks to me." Then she smooches Jerry a couple scenes later. She sure ended things fast with the boyfriend.
Jerry is very good at stealing women from their men.
@@daniellee1722
it's his number one occupation
"That kind of thing is common in show business" (Elaine's sexy tape recording episode)
Oh yeah forgot about him
or she was lying about having a boyfriend
"Oh NO!" georges reaction is priceless the way he yells and hops up like that .Cracks me up every time .
George's "Ok do you wanna have sex right now? Do you wanna have sex with me right now? Lets go." kills me everytime
Jason brings amazing energy to that role throughout the series’ run. Great casting.
Hands down, the BEST Seinfeld scene EVER.
Only if you can relate to it.
I liked the scene with Little Jerry. "Hey George, guess what...Little Jerry ran to Newmans and back in eight seconds!" "Is that good?" "I dunno."
It's like top 8
This scene...
Mr Bookman
The pony
The best is the library cop's monologue.
Jerry was almost laughing when George says "you wanna have sex baby? Come on let's go!" 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
The comedic genius of this TV show can never, ever be duplicated! Ever!
I think Frasier is with Seinfeld the best ever
I think the fact George went along with the eavesdrop was one of the most fun and playful things his character has ever done. I would've expected him to have Jerrys reaction.
There's few things George enjoys more than lying.
This episode would have won an Emmy if it was a different year than The Contest.
it actually was
comedic gold as its prime.
that's gold Jerry! Gold!
@@SiccDeville Yes, it is the best, Jerry, the best!
george is a perfectly insecure, nagging, needy girlfriend 😂😂😂
Well if you've met his parents you wouldn't be surprised how he turned out.
ive been outed and I wasn't even in
One of my favorite lines.
This has gotta be easily in my top 5 favorite Seinfield scenes. Especially that look on George's face when he suddenly realizes what's happened. And then how Kramer shows up at the end.
Her facial Expressions as she takes notes are priceless...
Love it when George says " Let's go baby!""
When Kramer came in it just made it more funnier best sitcom ever
Mostest funniest
Proof a show was truly great is when you have seen every episode , you know what's going to happen, can even repeat the dialog before it's said, and still laugh you ass off anyway while watching it.
Exactly!
I miss Seinfeld!!! I want the 90’s back!!! 😢😢❤
Lmaooo at Jerry's reactions to her questions
One of my all-time favorite episodes! And that girl was beautiful!
3:16 I love how George just EXPLODES when he finds out what she’s talking about
Lol, how George jumps up and screams no. 😂😂😂
They always handled sensitive and controversial topics perfectly and with gold standard humor.
It looks like the pear hasn't been washed...
Then wash it!
I love the way they nailed the type of inane exchange that goes on in normal relationships.
@@racketman2u i think its a sexual innuendo
My wife always gets on me for the same thing and I always tel her just to wash it if it isn’t clean enough for you. She’s the type to sit there and wash fruit for a like two minutes straight and I’m the type to just rinse it a second or two.
"You hear the way he talks to me" - LOLZZZZZZ
"You should heAR the way my boyfriend talks to me."
HEAR
it's hear not here
HEAR, not that difficult.
@@GeorgeMonet
What?
I’ve been lying on the sofa, for 27 hours, clicking on the TH-cam icon so it resets and offers new suggested videos. That’s how I got here...
You’re not Penske material
@@argar9 🤣
That’s ok, I misplaced the file anyway.
"Not that there's anything wrong with that." Classic!
3:45 Jerry cant hold it :-)
Best episode EVER!
I second that.
I third that. ( Although "The Contest" is second. )
No Heisenberg, Ozymandias is the best episode ever ;)
3:36 Classic Costanza footwork when he's in panic.
It is known as the "Costanza Shuffle"
My father's gay!
that line has cracked me up for years! lol still funny
@@matthewp.3392 HILARIOUS!!!!
"My parents? They don't know WHAT's going on!"
1:23 George's drink is in his right hand.
1:24 George's drink is in his left hand.
I don't wanna sit there naked all myself !
The writing on this show was flawless
"Ya know, just because you two are homosexual so what? I mean you should just come outta the closet and be OPENLY GAY already!" 😂
The perfect ending for the show would have been to show George and Jerry living together as senior citizens, and fighting like a married couple.
Yes that's right. Instead of a crazy court room.
my favorite part is when he suddenly turns on the defensive: "Not that theres anything wrong with that."
I read somewhere (sorry, don't remember where) that NBC would not accept the episode and then the show inserted that line which then passed the censors.
@@michaelbayer5094 No, that's not what happened. The writers were trying to figure out how to make it not-offensive and realized it would be funnier if they were concerned both about seeming gay (cuz they're homophobic) and also about seeming homophobic.
@@Suzanne4415afraid of gay people. Huh how is that even comedic . The show is satire and comedy not liberal guilted documentary
"My Father's Gay!" - classic!
The best sitcom ever 22 min non-stop laughing 😂😂😂
Kramer: Adding fuel to the fire at 3:48.
Deena
adding hot coals to the steam pile 😂
too damn funny haha, brilliant writing and comedy !!!
The actress who plays the college reporter looks and plays that part perfectly.
If this wasn’t the same season as The Contest this definitely would have won an Emmy for Writing.
Awesome and The Best Sitcom ever, Loved every single moment in every single episode.
I love this episode! George's moms' reaction to this was exactly what you'd expect it to be, hahaha ;)
This was one of those shows that I taped as I watched it in case I laughed too hard at something and missed the next line. Thankfully, I had taped this one because I had to go back and rewatch it to catch a few lines I missed. Such a quotable episode!
That actress playing the reporter is pretty hot 🤔
I agree!
I will third you guys on that!!!

Sam Rothstein Paula Marshall
She starred in too many shows that failed and have been cancelled very quickly.
This is one of my favourite episodes of Seinfeld. There are not enough superlatives to describe just how good the writing and acting is. Perfect.
Id forgotten why I loved this show so much...
Such blend of social satire and comedy has gone extinct
M. Wasiq Wasim exactly. If this were today show, they all would have been fired... and everyone of them would apologize until end of time. Woke and PC culture kill comedy.
Try with It's always sunny in Philadelphia, they do what they want, plus you get a Danny Devito in the mix
This episode got an award from the GLADD organization for the season in which it aired. Seinfeld will return to Netflix next year, and it will be airing on Viacom networks in the same time frame.
The "people would get fired these days" bullshit is a difficult assertion to prove.
Edward T oh please, the joke only worked because being gay was a joke and ridiculed at the time. Fortunately, society has moved passed being gay as a big deal. thank god the world has grown up and only an idiot would see this as a joke if it were done today,
I can’t believe there’s SJW morons out there who call this episode controversial 🙄
An early episode, and very underrated. Rarely makes top 10 lists. Great writing and acting all around, including Jerry, but especially Jason.
And there's something really sexy about that reporter.
"I have many gay friends. My father's gay." Haaaaaaaaaaaaa haaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa
"No steam, no steam!"
This episode is puuuuure gold!
3:44 I lost it
George's realization was priceless..LMAO
“Cmon let’s go baby!” 😂 😂 😂 I’m friggin dying!!! LMFAO
3:44 GEORGE COSTANZA YOU ARE THE FUNNIEST CHARACTER EVER
one of the best sketches
Funny how the “not that there’s anything wrong with that” works a lot more nowadays
The downfall happens in cities first as they tend to be more liberal. So it doesn't surprise me this was in a NYC themed show back then
In my opinion, this is the funniest Seinfeld episode of all time.
His voice got ESPECIALLY whiny when he said he doesn't like sounding whiny.
"I know a lot of people who are gay"
"My father's gay"
“My fathers gay” hahahaa brilliant
hottest girl on Seinfeld ever.
+Duhjr88 I don't know. Elaine had her moments.
+Duhjr88 Winowna was wayy hotter
+mrbrockpeters Exactly! Extremely sexy.
+Duhjr88 I've got her at #2. Redheaded Marlene is #1!
Josh Peterson They're real and they are spectacular
Sharon was in Hellraiser 3...
Just thought I'd share...
(slowly slips away into the shadows)
And George was in Shallow Hal, so what?
@@macdee6040 you forgot to slip into the shadows.
Paula Marshall
Do you hear how he talks to me?
People sometimes assume when two guys are true solid friend's that they might question in their mind that they could be gay.🤔
Amazing...still holds up!!
This is by far the funniest episode I have seen in Seinfeld...!! :D :P
Georges absolutely perfect OH NOOOO OH NOOOOOO!!!!!! Proves that Jason Alexander is one of the greatest comedians ever to live.
the point of realization on George's face 3:14
my goodness, this is just pure comic genius, amazing really.
George in this bit cracks me up so much. I could watch this clip a million times.
1:20 The bottle changes hands in an instant
my favorite episode

"My parents? They don't know what's going on" :))))
Seinfeld had so many hilarious and classic scenes. This is definitely one of them.
Show was brilliant. Smart Comedy.
«You hear the way he talks to me».😂
2:16 is Jerry´s best acting ever. That was hilarious.
+Richard Spikman Haha yeah it was very realistic!
"Do you see the way he talks to me?"
I always lose it when Kramer comes in and puts the final nail in the coffin 😂
But I don't want to sit there all naked by myself!!
Kramers entry always makes things hilarious.😂

"my father's gay" baaahaaa
Suddenly we see from a different view how the relationship between these four friends are. 3:39 one of George's top 5 lines 😂😂
Holy shit the comedic timing is so awesome! XD
the good ol days
I watch a few small clips and makes me want to watch an entire season
