Jerry's face is so perfect near the end where he's so proud of what he just did, while still looking all fake-judgmental. George glaring at him, knowing exactly what his buddy just pulled. love it
God its so perfect how the pez dispenser "lands" right while that dramatic note is being played. Its like a villain entering a scene in a movie or something. Juxtaposed by its goofy Tweety bird face. Lol yeah pretty damn funny.
@@rishik7665 It's just momentary. The serious, must-be-quiet situation, the dramatic music thus heightening the anxiety, and Jerry breaking it entirely by plopping that stupid pez dispenser on her lap - it is so completely out of place and absurd, and also signals to Jerry's emotional immaturity which adds to the humor. Overall, it's just a laughing-at-a-funeral situation.
Yes! I think it was actually Jerry starting to crack at the sight of Julia laughing, but even in character it indicates that Jerry is very proud of himself for his.
If you watch Seinfeld bloopers you know Julia Louis-Dreyfus often cracks up and starts laughing uncontrollably. I think that may have been the inspiration for this episode.
It triggered me as well, mostly because it reminded me of my Budgie Clem who was yellow and had a bulbous head as well. He'd land on my chest and would act silly to get my attention.
Fun fact about this clip, it was after revealed that this scene saved the pez dispenser company as at the time, they were near bankruptcy and the buzz caused by this episode cause a huge surge in pez dispenser sales
Its astonishing how any product on media influences the consumer. Thats why companies spend millions on advert or pictures . Subliminal advertising works.
I still remember laughing at this in the 90s. I was a teenager in junior high. It made me think of those times a classmate did something funny during class and how scary, but unstoppable it was to laugh about it.
I never noticed before, but the pez dispenser has double sided tape on it to keep it in place on the handbag. At 1:04 you can hear it peeling off as Elaine pulls it up :-D
I bet Elaine hadn't seen the dispenser until they were shooting the scene because she looks at Jerry after he showed it to her, she looks at hin like it was a complete surprise.
I got the giggles watching the play Cats on Broadway. I figured the title was a metaphor, so when I saw people in cat costumes I totally lost it! 😂 Then my brother started laughing and then the people behind us even started laughing! I couldn’t stop so I finally had to walk out!
The musical director of the Seinfeld show said when he was laying down the track for the piano piece in this scene that Larry told him he wanted him to make a mistake during the laughing and he said Larry kept telling him No a Bigger Mistake, a Bigger Mistake!...he said he finally just ham fisted one cord, which I think we can all hear when Elaine laughs her loudest.
I HATE when something that normally wouldn't be that funny strikes me as hilarious at the exact WRONG time! Then later, when it's ok to laugh, I can't force a laugh out at gunpoint. Example, when I was around 12-13, I was sitting with friends in church. It was packed, and I told my friend beside me to tell the other guy to scoot over a little for more room. The other guy wouldn't, so I said "put your head on his shoulder then so he'll move over," which he obliged. I did the muffled laugh/snicker/silent shakes for the whole sermon, which seemed like it lasted 5 hours!
When I worked at a movie theatre one of my idiot co-workers made some inappropriate joke that I just couldn’t get out of my head and was tying to stifle laughter while taking tickets 😂
Do you laugh at funerals, THAT is the question! Francisco Franko, Hitler, Tito, and other tyrants should be laughed at, so I never worry if I giggle at an inappropriate moment!
if this (the laughter) is staged, then Elaine is a marvelous actor. But I think she really cracked up with laughter at this scene. Either way, no matter how many times I see this clip, I crack up also laughing! Genius episode!
Larry David and Jerry would have table reads and would take suggestions from the actors for add-on's that might make the episodes better. There was also a bit of ad libbing.
My parents forced my friend and I go to church with them. We both thought attending church was the most boring thing you can do on a weekend so all we did was draw funny pictures in the pamphlets and try to make each other laugh. No more than 30 minutes into the sermon we would get kicked out and then hang out in the cafe till it was over. The rule was that whoever cracked up first had to buy donuts and coffee.
So much brilliance to this scene but George's looking at Jerry at the very end just absolutely gets me every time. I cry laugh every single time I watch this scene....
This happened to me once, when the Pastor of my church dropped the offering baskets, that I handed to him, and all the offerings in them came flying out and scattered all over the floor. I left the sanctuary in hysterics!!!
When I was like in 5th grade, I took singing classes at a small studio. There was a concert at the end of the year, and my family had NO idea that my class was at the end, so they had to sit through an hour of adults singing musical theater really badly. At one point, my aunt reached into her purse and pulled out that EXACT same pez dispenser. My dad was trying to hard to keep the laughter in that he cried.
Just watched the 1961 movie "Judgment at Nuremberg." There's a scene where this piece is played, which made for the only laugh in that 179-minute-long drama.
I had a moment like this in year 7. My princibal was talking to our school and the microphone was broken or something. Every now and then his voice would amplify and it sounded like he was beat boxing. Needless to say i was kicked out and got detention 🤣
They say he was so generous with laugh lines. He never got jealous of his co-stars when they ad-libbed or milked a laugh. That audience laughter is genuine. There WAS no laugh track on the Seinfeld show.
Several years ago a Mass was held for my deceased grandmother. This was on a weekday evening so aside from my family there was only a handful of other people in the church. The priest was an old man and as he walked down the aisle he appeared to have difficulty walking in a straight line. He would walk diagonally for a bit and then switch to the opposite direction as if was bouncing off an invisible wall about a foot from the side of the pews. My youngest brother, who is usually very respectful in church, observed this and started giggling. This "infected" our other brother and then spread to me. With the church being so empty it was clear that everyone noticed this and we got a lot of "what is wrong with you?" stares from family members. At the time this did not go over well with my family but today we all recall it as a pretty funny story, mostly because everyone knows we were all trying not to laugh but couldn't help it.
Ah... the 1st movement of Beethoven's "Grand Sonata Pathetique", Op. 13. The first movement strikes over 10,000 notes (if I remember correctly) and demands lots of endurance and balance with wrist staccato. The second movement is very famous; beautiful and somber. Funny... if I would play it, somebody always pulled out a Pez dispenser.
This actually happened to me in Carnegie Hall. Someone sitting next to me on my right was the Composer of the music being played on stage and everyone to my left was saying things to me while the violins and cellos were playing his music. I burst out laughing and couldn't stop laughing while the concert was on. The Composer of the Orchestral Piece was staring at me wondering why I was laughing so hard. Just like Elaine did here.
At the theater tonight, I did this to my husband. Months ago, I ordered a Tweety Pez dispenser off Amazon and it was everything I hoped it could be and more!🎹🐥🗣️💀
this is always funny, but it makes me feel guilty: in 1960, when i was 7 years old, me and my sisters (6 years and 2 years) went to an opera with our parents. it was in Steynsburg, South Africa my father was the head master when the lady started to sign "funny", we started giggling! -- everytime worst part, we sat right in front ... .... ... to this day i still feel guilty!

The only way it could have been better IMO is Jerry offering George a PEZ with a bit of a shrug.
God its so perfect how the pez dispenser "lands" right while that dramatic note is being played. Its like a villain entering a scene in a movie or something. Juxtaposed by its goofy Tweety bird face. Lol yeah pretty damn funny.
You were just looking for a reason to use the word 'juxtaposed' weren't you?

It's almost too much juxtaposition to me
It's a chord not a note 👍

The way Jerry looks at her after she starts to laugh makes it even funnier.
dammit. why don't i get the joke
@@rishik7665 It's just momentary.

Omg yes I was dying when I saw this
Yes! I think it was actually Jerry starting to crack at the sight of Julia laughing, but even in character it indicates that Jerry is very proud of himself for his.
Elaine's laughing is contagious 😂😂😂
Imagine if the whole crowd started laughing
Reminds me of my old boyfriend. He had this laugh that would get you laughing too!
Like Phoebe
I hope she won an Emmy for this episode because that's the most realistic laugh-holding-in I've ever seen
It was probably just real tbh.
Maybe they did that on the spot and that was her actually reaction but if that was acting that was pretty good.
Julia is always cracking up during shooting, she gets in laughing fits so this was probably just her doing the usual
One of my favorite episodes. You can see towards the end Jerry looks like he slmost lost it too.
No need to act even it was likely real. I die every time.
If you watch Seinfeld bloopers you know Julia Louis-Dreyfus often cracks up and starts laughing uncontrollably. I think that may have been the inspiration for this episode.
This is one of my all time favorite scenes from television, its so on point, realistic and funny. It makes me cry laugh even today
ain't it grand? I adore Seinfeld re-runs and clips!
Ok people, stop with the 'on point' already... 🤦🤦
tweety's bulbous head shadowed on elaine's purse, also the cut with the intense music, brilliant, I know exactly why she couldn't stop laughing
Myuan52 same here but you have to admit it was hysterically funny
Why?
The camera angle, lighting on it was *perfect.*
It triggered me as well, mostly because it reminded me of my Budgie Clem who was yellow and had a bulbous head as well. He'd land on my chest and would act silly to get my attention.

Its astonishing how any product on media influences the consumer. Thats why companies spend millions on advert or pictures . Subliminal advertising works.
These characters were so anti-social, really despicable people and so funny.
Selfish narcissistic self absorbed ill mannered bag of dooshes
And that's exactly how Larry David envisioned them to be.
Hence the finale. David Larry wants to remind the viewers that the main characters are in fact terrible people, and Karma always comes around.
@@redDL89 Except karma doesn’t really always come around
That’s why they put them in jail in the end to amend the terrible message of the show! Antisocial but soooo hilarious!
I never thought this was funny when it aired.
Now, it is the most realistic thing in the world.
Hysterical.
I still remember laughing at this in the 90s. I was a teenager in junior high. It made me think of those times a classmate did something funny during class and how scary, but unstoppable it was to laugh about it.
@1:00 ohhh look at those precious shimmering glistening eyes filled with laughter! Sooo CUUUUTE!!!
I like how Elaine's laugh turns into a cackle as she leaves the theatre
I like how Jerry was looking at Elaine like “what is wrong with you?”
I never noticed before, but the pez dispenser has double sided tape on it to keep it in place on the handbag. At 1:04 you can hear it peeling off as Elaine pulls it up :-D
Elaine's laugh is a thing of beauty
I bet Elaine hadn't seen the dispenser until they were shooting the scene because she looks at Jerry after he showed it to her, she looks at hin like it was a complete surprise.
I just attended a music concert and I was thinking about this scene, so I tried with all my might to suppress laughing. I didn't laugh.
I hate it when that happens - when you absolutely cannot laugh out loud, but you really want to laugh.
At least you were informed about not clapping between movements by Costanza
🤣
You should’ve laughed 😊
Well THERE'S a pointless story!
her laugh gives me life
She sounds like a joyful chicken
the best part of this episode wasn't shown: Jerry's applause with the pez dispenser
He'd never listen to anybody. Except of course, Jerry. He'd listen to Jerry. Jerry would have to be involved. He really respects Jerry.
😂
Haaaaaaaa true!! That was good!!
All these years later....still one of the funniest scenes I have seen on tv
The guy behind Elaine, his reaction at 1:03 😂
Yep.
Excellent
I got the giggles watching the play Cats on Broadway. I figured the title was a metaphor, so when I saw people in cat costumes I totally lost it! 😂 Then my brother started laughing and then the people behind us even started laughing! I couldn’t stop so I finally had to walk out!
Haha you are Elaine
🤔
The comedic genius of putting a pez dispenser on someone's lap or in the seat afterwards is absolutely hilarious. This show was the "BEST"
The musical director of the Seinfeld show said when he was laying down the track for the piano piece in this scene that Larry told him he wanted him to make a mistake during the laughing and he said Larry kept telling him No a Bigger Mistake, a Bigger Mistake!...he said he finally just ham fisted one cord, which I think we can all hear when Elaine laughs her loudest.
I have to admit, if someone puts a pez dispenser on my lap, I ,too, would cackle like a demon.
DEMONS DON'T CACKLE.
CHICKENS CACKLE.
DEMONS ARE DEMUR AND SUAVE. I WOULD KNOW. I HAVE SEVERAL LIVING WITHIN ME, AND I AM VERY DEMUR AND SUAVE.
Why would people laugh at that. I didn't get it.
@@syamprasaddadi3615 Neither did i. I think it was because Pez on Elaine's lap was like a boner.

Do you laugh at funerals, THAT is the question! Francisco Franko, Hitler, Tito, and other tyrants should be laughed at, so I never worry if I giggle at an inappropriate moment!
@George Pierce: That’s brilliant! Being unable to suppress laughter in a solemn situation is referred to as “the church giggles “
if this (the laughter) is staged, then Elaine is a marvelous actor. But I think she really cracked up with laughter at this scene. Either way, no matter how many times I see this clip, I crack up also laughing! Genius episode!
It is pretty funny
The lighting on the tweetie, the note of the piano... Elaine had no chance
I like how George notices Elaine's expression at the very onset of her laughter
How the hell did they come up with these storylines? These writers are some of the most creative people in tv history
Larry David and Jerry would have table reads and would take suggestions from the actors for add-on's that might make the episodes better. There was also a bit of ad libbing.
Often these storylines were taken from things that happened to the writers in real life.
It's about nothing.

I just started uncontrollably laughing when he took the Pez Dispenser out of his coat.
Pez on earth.
@@bentaylor1302 Try writing a cogent sentence, even.
One of the great things they did on Seinfeld was some of the close up camera shots like that at 0:56
So much brilliance to this scene but George's looking at Jerry at the very end just absolutely gets me every time. I cry laugh every single time I watch this scene....
This show is classic.It never gets old.
Its her face just as she's about to lose it, gets me every time. What an actress. :D
This is me in almost every class when I was in school. Almost anything would make me laugh and not able to stop.
Trusteft That happened to me too. But it turned out I was sleep deprived
Have you ever heard of "Tourette's Syndrome" (Question mark key sticks, folks!)
Nobody asked
Still can't keep my composure. I'm laughing now.
This is the genius of this show. We’ve all been in this position.
I haven't
She’s just too damn adorable 😂
The guy behind Elaine shoosing her at 1:14 only makes it worse.
good point

You mean better.
I think my favorite little detail here is the loud chord that plays when the Pez dispenser is placed in Elaine's lap.

They don't want you to be happy George. That laugh 😂 LoL

One of the few times that Julia’s losing it played into the scene well.
She lost it a lot. But when she had fun, the audience, (that's us, folks), really had fun!

Elaine laughing aloud is literally lunacy.
I had the same Tweety Bird Pez dispenser, probably right around the time this episode came out. I miss it :(
This still cracks me up after so many years.
One of the best laughs in comedy. She could do it effortlessly lolol
The greatest funniest moments in TV history 😂😂😂😂😂😂
Masterful comedy. I die every time
That’s what I call a happy gut feeling laughing ,,

This scene gets me everytime. LMAO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
This is actually normal for her. She breaks character so often on this show. Lol
He took it out.
I've watched every episode a million times... except this one. I had no IDEA how funny this is!

This was the first Seinfeld episode I ever saw back in the day.
At the theater tonight, I did this to my husband. Months ago, I ordered a Tweety Pez dispenser off Amazon and it was everything I hoped it could be and more!🎹🐥🗣️💀
This was the easiest scene for Julia to shoot.. just being herself. 😆
Right? Probably one of the few scenes she was able to do in one take.
this is always funny, but it makes me feel guilty:
in 1960, when i was 7 years old,
me and my sisters (6 years and 2 years) went to an opera with our parents.
it was in Steynsburg, South Africa
my father was the head master
when the lady started to sign "funny", we started giggling! -- everytime
worst part, we sat right in front ... .... ...
to this day i still feel guilty!
These pez dispensers are being sold where I live and i couldnt stop laughing when I saw the tweetie one so I bought it 😂😂😂
I laugh too just thinking about somebody doing this to me. The dramatic piano makes it even funnier 😂😂
That Kramer... Always has a finger on things.
Them polar bears kept me from seeing the recital. Wish I was there
That point when you know you’re not going to stop laughing and you decide that you need to leave.
This reminds me of how in school where your friend would tell a really dumb joke and you’d crack up because you weren’t supposed to laugh in class.
