Oh, I loved this series so much!  It's hard to believe it's been off the air for 15 years!!!   :omg:

I've only gotten into watching Seinfeld seriously in recent weeks. Such a genius television show, my favorite episodes are The Puffy Shirt and The Contest, but they're all top notch

Seinfeld is one of the few TV shows I watch on a regular basis. The Rye, The Bubble Boy, The Subway and The Puffy Shirt are a few of my favorites. Some of the episodes from the last two seasons were a bit lackluster but the show was amazingly consistent.

I just watched The Mango (S5E1) last night and it knocked me off my feet. Definitely one of my favorites and, judging from a lot of online 'favorite seinfeld episode' lists, generally underrated episodes. I just about climaxed when Kramer talked about faking an orgasm himself (the topic of the episode being women faking). Really, priceless scene in a fantastic episode. Unfortunately I couldn't find that particular clip, but this one is nearly as good. Classic George moment!

Not Seinfeld releated but I actually had no idea Jason Alexander was a musical artist, anyway I love actors showing range in talent.

I saw Jerry Seinfeld last night with his stand up tour.

Best comedy show I've ever seen!  If you get a chance to see him, do it!  I had 4th row, the tickets were expensive, but completely worth it.

I caught this a while back, and it's great. Most people don't realize that theater is what Jason Alexander's main gig is and always was aside from Seinfeld.

He's number two on my list of comedians to see, right after Lewis Black.

I saw Lewis Black years ago at university and he was hilarious. I'd definitely check him out if you get a chance.

In my opinion, George Costanza is the greatest character in the history of television.

Sometimes the internet just delivers! So Jerry recently rejected a hug from Kesha while being interviewed that went viral. Which lead to some dude of course making a Seinfeld script of the whole thing:

Jerry continues to be simply awesome for (1) not knowing who Kesha is and (2) for not randomly hugging a stranger. Love you Jerry, still keeping it real.

of course Kesha fans are saying "how dare he" and " your career is over "...

:lolpalm:

I bet any money that if a mid 60s guy who she didn't know - ran up and said IM YOUR BIGGEST FAN CAN I HUG YOU - she'd be all like "not a fucking chance" if her 10 security

:lol Im sure she doesn't. I just awesome because it's another example of Jerry literally being Jerry (his character) in real life. That totally could have been the topic of an episode (hence the reddit script).

It's called Seinfeld because Jerry IS Jerry.

He's playing himself - mainly because he's not really an actor.

All the stories are based on actual real life events that either Jerry or Larry David witnessed or participated in.

Oh I know, I just think it's cool to still see that manifest itself organically all these years later.

Actually, a lot of the writers brought in their real life experiences.

Slight tangent but I always think it's better to base a lie on actual truth and change the details.

Because you can lie convincingly as you're just changing small details of fact.

I like when she went with "a little one?" she lowered herself a tiny bit.

"Well, I wish her the best" is the best part of that whole thing.

And oh god that script!
