I saw Steve Hytner on a Zoom session during the pandemic. He said when he read for Bania the script character description said "the most annoying person on earth" and Steve said yea, I can do that. Ha!
Steve Hytner is a great guy. I had the pleasure of hanging out with him and opening for him. He even invited me to stay in his houses. Of course his character is a dweeb, but the man himself, Steve is awesome
Years ago I had all the episodes recorded onto VHS TAPES....so I could watch them every night after work....with NO commercials. Best show ever. Up there with the Andy Griffith Show, with the great character Barney Fife.
Never saw Elaine's BIG SALAD @5:50 when I watched this show in the 90's lol. It's huge, tomatoes like volleyballs. Little details to pick up on in these clips makes it even funnier.
Jerry always listened to his friends, who mostly got him in trouble. But also, there's a good possibility Jerry kept close touch with them primarily for the material.
Fred Stoller wrote this episode, based on a real life experience with fellow comedian Bruce Smirnoff. Bruce, who was infamously cheap, gave stoller a new suit and he just had to treat him to lunch. Bruce stringed fred for multiple free lunches till Fred had enough. Fred found out later the suit was not worth 1,000 dollars, instead Bruce bought it for 150 at a closeout warehouse.
So it was Elaine who is responsible for Jerry taking the suit (with secondary support of George), and Kramer puts the pants right on the kitchen chop block.
They always do this to each other too. Lol Like when Kramer egged on Jerry to lend Elaine money so she could pay the rent to move into the apartment building. When Kramer convinced Elaine she could run the J Peterman catalog.
I tell you to be able to think of weird topics and finding weirder characters is genius. Hahaha. Laughing my head off just like the 1st time I watched it.
Kramer’s interaction with Bania in the department store is a perfect example of why Kramer is so likeable. Even though Bania is annoying and detestable, Kramer treats him kindly and even hypes him up when he says he’s been working out.
I think we've all had a Bania in our lives at some point. I broke my Bania"s nose and he still skirts me wide all these years later. Shame I didnt think of it sooner.
I can really relate to Jerry’s annoyance when Kramer was going on about the suit being Armani and that he should try it on and ooh aah 😂 Never like being pushed into trying on new clothes and showing people how they look, haha
I was at an open mic one time. A new comedian like Kenny walked up to me and asked how I'm doing I just shook my head no. He said "It's not a yes or no question." I replied "Please leave me alone." He was like "That's funny! Can I use that?" smh
The fact that Bania is completely oblivious to Jerry's dislike for him makes me wonder whether I am anyone's Bania, irl.
Ok, now you got me thinking...damn it
Lol same
What's funny is all Jerry friends like him.
You'd probably knew it after some interactions, so Bania for little time before you realize
@@ibramblebushHow can anybody not like him?
I love the complete lack of awareness by Bania. He has no idea Jerry detests him.
That's gold!
he's seeming autistic which is ironic in every possible way...
Detest, that's a funny word! Can I use that?
He seems a bit too clueless to me, I don't believe he could actually do even bad stand up.
I saw Steve Hytner on a Zoom session during the pandemic. He said when he read for Bania the script character description said "the most annoying person on earth" and Steve said yea, I can do that. Ha!
except the different couple of English boyfriends of Elaine, I can hardly watch those episodes, they're boring cringe worthy grubs.
That's gold, Jerry, GOLD! 😂
Will forever remember that quote 😎😂
The best Jerry the best 😊
The gesture Kramer makes when Bania says "I'm huge" is just absolute comedy.
I know man. I don’t even fully understand why, it’s just so simple yet sooo funny.
Hilarious😂😂
😂 Goddamn never caught that till now after all these years. Glad to see ur comment. 👊🏼
So many brilliant secondary characters on this show
I ONLY disliked that joker (elaines Boy friend)
"WHY DON'T YOU GET A SANDWICH!?"
lol, I love that line by Jerry.
Steve Hytner is a great guy. I had the pleasure of hanging out with him and opening for him. He even invited me to stay in his houses. Of course his character is a dweeb, but the man himself, Steve is awesome
That’s really nice to hear
Unbelievably great comic acting in these shows.
6:25 "surely you jest." ice cold delivery
One of those lines that I recycle for use on Facebook Marketplace.
I just realized most of Bania and Jerrys interaction involved soup😂😂
I like how Jerry will tolerate a lot of things from a lot of people, but Kenny really just pushes his buttons in the wrong way
Jerry hates Newman but has contempt for Bania.
@@BifMcAwesome He let Newman, sleep in his bed....
@@brandondetroitfanmichaels4325because of Kramer
“The best, Jerry, THE BEST.”
Words to raise Jerry’s blood pressure.
Seinfeld is the best sitcom of all time...the best
THE BEST JERRY....THE BEST!
Gold jerry, gold
I love how Jerry never puts the entire suit on. He feels resistance toward it from the very beginning
Lol
I love the way Bania always has that same stupid smile.
Seinfeld is the best sitcom of all time. Literally every episode makes me laugh:)
I have watched and laughed, with repeated full series viewings
Literally!! All 9 seasons were 10/10 ! Most sitcoms fall off after season 4
Definitely! It never jumped the shark, which is no small feat in the world of sitcoms.
Only after season 5, before that it's kinda meh and awkward
Years ago I had all the episodes recorded onto VHS TAPES....so I could watch them every night after work....with NO commercials. Best show ever. Up there with the Andy Griffith Show, with the great character Barney Fife.
“You work out with weights?”
“No.”
“Well you should.”
“Why?”
*Bania perplexed*
Have you worn the suit yet?!
😂
"So have you worn the suit yet?"
"Yeah I wore it to bed last night"
"You did?!?"
This man won't leave Jerry alone 🤣
That’s gold Jerry, gold!
Wish I had confidence like Bania. 😅😅
I've been working out, I'm huge🤣🤣
I like Kenny Bania, he is a great annoyance.
Still a better comedian than James Corden
That guys a comedian?
One of the most loathsome toads on this good earth
And Jimmy Kimmel.
Better than female comedians
Who's James Corden???
The best, Jerry. The best!
Never saw Elaine's BIG SALAD @5:50 when I watched this show in the 90's lol. It's huge, tomatoes like volleyballs. Little details to pick up on in these clips makes it even funnier.
The real Larry David oozes from every pore of this show
“I’m gonna go pickup some chicks!” Lmao
Good lookin ones!
I'm always amazed at how Jerry and his side kicks always make me laugh 😃 ❤❤
@1:15 Kramer acting like every mother that buys you something cheap or something you don't like 😂😂...Come on try it on i want to see how it fits🤣
You worn the suit yet?…Actually I did. I put it on last night and slept in it… YA DID?!?!
No I’m joking! 😂😂
@PALLELפָלַל meow?
The absolutely fantastic cast of side characters was really the very delicious icing on and already incredible Seindfeld cake~
that's how you bully someone to be your friend. 😂
good one.
It's easier to guilt somebody into being your friend. I'm just saying.
That actor did an extraordinary job playing an annoying guy.
He's really kind of adorable.
14 minutes of Bania. Is this heaven?
No. It's Iowa. lol
2:38 is one of my favorite Seinfeld moments. That facial expression is so damn good
03:40 Jerry pulling a Jackie Chiles!😁
What's so sad is there are people actually like Kenny.
He seems to be like a Golden Retriever of hack comics.
Pretty sure he's literally an allegory for Tom Meyers
But a lot of people dislike Jerry's act in the series. That's the joke.
And some of them are comedians. And the rest are their fans.
The actor playing Bania does an incredible job of showing an amazing level of lack of awareness.
"Jerry, wheres my suit?"
"I dont have it, you want half my omelette?"
So funny
"All right!" Jerry giving in through gritted teeth is a recurring gag
Jerry always listened to his friends, who mostly got him in trouble. But also, there's a good possibility Jerry kept close touch with them primarily for the material.
Bania is one of the few people who always got over on Jerry.
That’s Gold Jerry Gold . Ah man I remember this from years back. 😂👍
“It must have been the botanical extracts!”
It's amazing how he acted the part of the guy who doesn't do anything outright wrong but somehow just ends up being annoying.
The real "bizarro jerry"
Bania is basically Butters

They always do this to each other too. Lol

"I didn't tell you to have a hot dog! Who told you to have a hot dog??"
I wonder if Jerry also keeps a mental list of his public humiliations
The Maestro didn't tell you to eat a hot dog
Kramer vibing with Bania is pretty funny.
Gold Jerry, GOLD
“That must’ve been the botanical extracts” lmao
Underrated joke!
4:20 lmao George
I tell you to be able to think of weird topics and finding weirder characters is genius. Hahaha. Laughing my head off just like the 1st time I watched it.
Kramer’s interaction with Bania in the department store is a perfect example of why Kramer is so likeable. Even though Bania is annoying and detestable, Kramer treats him kindly and even hypes him up when he says he’s been working out.
Bania is like if Jerry’s character on the 80s sitcom Benson (Frankie) was interacting with the actual Jerry.
Bania underrated Jerry nemesis
This actor Steve Hytner is fantastic . Just perfection.
You trying to get out of Mendy's? You can't do that!
How about Mendy's, ooo ever been there?! 😂
"and laughter.. is the best medicine" ooh, dad!
“Lucky me” 😂🤣😂
“I been working out,yeah I’m huge.”🤣🤣🤣
It's gold Jerry, gold..
I fear I may have been somebody's Bania more than once. Having said that ..... soup is not a meal.
Bania is, unexpectedly , really funny 😂😂😂
The best Jerry! The best!
2:19 Mendy's!
What's crazy is there are people just like Bania in real life
Everybody is somebody's Bania.
There's a banya in every life....
And if you can't think of one, it's you.
I love Seinfeld
Kristin Davis in that Butter Shave episode *swoons*
His face expression omg so funny -
Ironically, at the end, the network execs were all over Banya ... like a CHEAP SUIT !! ... 🙄😂😂
this is like the best 15 minutes of comic inanity in history.
This man is huge!
even the names in seinfeld are funny. where did they come up with them...bania, sue-ellen mischke, todd gack lol
Todd Gack.... hilarious
@@vince-qb6su I'm pretty sure he's Dutch.
Paddy....
Don't forget the Drake lol hate the Drake!
@@jrporter50 bob cobb
Hilarious the DUCK here is the best Jerry !
The best !
Elaine was having the Big Salad 😂😂
Firstly, why didst they call Mozart "Amadeus?" Moats are round. Art is around. They, thus should have called him "Areaundadaeus."
Writing is "brilliant" who told you to have a hot dog ? Definetly Larry ....david
Ya know. Now that I'm watching this now. Maybe dude just wanted to hang out with Jerry, heh??
14 mins of gold
GOLD JERRY! GOLD!!! 🪙🪙🪙
Great scene
SOUP COUNTS!!!
I think we've all had a Bania in our lives at some point. I broke my Bania"s nose and he still skirts me wide all these years later. Shame I didnt think of it sooner.
I don't have it, you want half of my omlet? 😅
Bania: I've been working out
Jerry: no kidding?
Bania: yeah in huge LOL
What Jerry do just to be polite, 😂
"You think you can give me a hand with my material?" 😃
The soup counts.. Tooo funny
I can really relate to Jerry’s annoyance when Kramer was going on about the suit being Armani and that he should try it on and ooh aah 😂 Never like being pushed into trying on new clothes and showing people how they look, haha
- I was wondering if you're not busy , maybe I can get my meal today? 😂😂
I was at an open mic one time. A new comedian like Kenny walked up to me and asked how I'm doing I just shook my head no. He said "It's not a yes or no question." I replied "Please leave me alone." He was like "That's funny! Can I use that?" smh
13:11 Right before Bania walks out, is that a yell from George?
Bania is basically Jerry without Larry David
Bania actually has good taste in clothes
If You're not busy I can get my meal today 🤣🤣
This guy is awesome!
the suit bania buys off of kramer is slick, goes well with the cool shirt he had on.
