Title: Official DTF Seinfeld Appreciation Thread V. It's a Thread About Nothing!
Post by: icysk8r on February 26, 2011, 08:43:16 PM: My all-time favorite sitcom has to be Seinfeld. I know there are quite a few fans on the forums (Hey Setra!) and I thought we could use a thread to appreciate this amazing show. What are your favorite episodes?

Post by: Cool Chris on February 26, 2011, 08:47:27 PM: Great show. Started out terribly weak, but caught steam in a hurry, and didn't let up until it got toward the end. For a show, especially a comedy, to have a hot streak like that last for so long is impressive.

Post by: ReaperKK on February 26, 2011, 08:48:19 PM: It is a great show. There is a site out there that plays seinfeld 24/7. I love just logging in whenever I have time and just watching a few episodes.

Curb Your Enthusiasm is also an excellent show.

Post by: dongringo on February 26, 2011, 08:52:04 PM: Greatest sitcom of all time imo. My favorite episode is The Marine Biologist. We have a Seinfeld trivia game in the house, but everyone got sick of playing it with me because I always win. :lol

Post by: Progmetty on February 26, 2011, 11:52:39 PM: I thought about starting a Seinfeld thread when the DTF came back online after the crash but thought it would be super lame since we have discussed it a lot in a long ass thread before the forum crash, so I'm glad someone else started it hehe
TBS is showing Seinfeld in "HD", cropped picture but looks nice on a big tv nonetheless.

One of the best shows ever, still, I think.

Nice reference; somewhat obscure. One of my other favorite lines of the whole series comes from that same episode. Jerry's having supper on a date with the dermatologist:

"Do you know what's it's like to save someone's life, Jerry?"

"Is it anything like hitting a homer in softball? Because I hit a whopper last week!!!"

I love Seinfeld. I actually ended my valedictorian speech at graduation in high school by saying: "and so in the words of George Constanza -- 'THAT'S IT FOR ME!!!' "

The intertwining plots that eventually link all the characters together, the subtle jokes, the real life scenarios that are just so familiar, the real life human interaction that no other tv show dared to deliver, just the sheer comedic genius. Amazing show, life changing.

I tell you, he was ten stories high if he was a foot! As if sensing my presence, he let out a great bellow. I said, "Easy, big fella!" And then as I watched him struggling, I realized something was obstructing his breathing. From where I was standing, I could see directly into the eye of the great fish!

Post by: Cool Chris on June 16, 2011, 05:17:31 PM: A hole in one, eh?

On another forum, we had a poll for best Seinfeld secondary character (meaning, excluding the big 4, Newman, and Jerry and George's parents). I picked Mickey Abbot (the little person). He was such a great foil to Kramer. I hate saying this, but just seeing them side by side makes me laugh. The fact that he got pissed so easily while Kramer was always so carefree made for some great scenes between them, like when Mickey is doing the audition and Kramer can't sit down because his jeans are too tight. Hilarious scene.

Jesus I just did some wiki'ing on the show, and the gal who worked the counter at the coffee shop (Ruth Cowen) was in 101 episodes.

Huge fan of 'The Sein' here, own all the DVD boxsets and they're always in continuous play. The behind the scenes extras and extra stand-up bits are great. Currently re-watching Season 6. The Fussili Jerry, an absolute classic. I wish the K man was my neighbour, possibly the best sitcom character ever!

Also wanted to go see Jerry at the o2 back in June, couldn't get the time off work though :-[ maybe next time!

Love it and will never get tired of it. I've watched every episode, I figure, at least 15 times each. Some more then that. I have that box set that was released a few years ago. If you are a fan, you must get this. The bonus material is awesome. When I turn on the tv, I'm pretty much scanning to see if Seinfeld is on.

Urban dictionary suggests it has something to do with the illusion given that someone has a boner when in reality they do not. Are you referencing the first episode of Curb, the 'Pants Tent'? Or are you suggesting that Larry David is giving me the illusion of arousal?

Michael Richards was the reason I started watching Seinfeld to begin with. I'd seen him as Stanley Spadowski in the Weird AL film UHF ( which is brilliant ).

Kinda bummed what happened to him at the comedy club - but he admitted it was a mistake, he apologised to everyone repeatedly and can poke fun at it now.

This is still simply the greatest tv show of all time, and nothing will ever defeat it.

Love it and will never get tired of it. I've watched every episode, I figure, at least 15 times each. Some more then that. I have that box set that was released a few years ago. If you are a fan, you must get this. The bonus material is awesome. When I turn on the tv, I'm pretty much scanning to see if Seinfeld is on.

Yeah man, the boxset is killer, got it as soon as it came out, great bonuses.

Well, let me give you a hint, junior. Maybe we can live without libraries, people like you and me. Maybe. Sure, we're too old to change the world, but what about that kid, sitting down, opening a book, right now, in a branch at the local library and finding drawings of pee-pees and wee-wees on the Cat in the Hat and the Five Chinese Brothers? Doesn't HE deserve better? Look. If you think this is about overdue fines and missing books, you'd better think again. This is about that kid's right to read a book without getting his mind warped!

And the fact that Jerry Seinfeld was literally trying not to laugh during the entire rant, often times not doing a very good job of it. :lol In fact, I think the "Sure, go ahead, laugh if you want to" line was ad-libbed by Philip Baker Hall when he saw Seinfeld chuckling a little bit.

I am aware.

Nice reference; somewhat obscure. One of my other favorite lines of the whole series comes from that same episode. Jerry's having supper on a date with the dermatologist:

"Do you know what's it's like to save someone's life, Jerry?"

"Is it anything like hitting a homer in softball? Because I hit a whopper last week!!!"...

"Doctor... I call you Pimple-popper MD"

"Why would I, a Juilliard trained Dermatologist, refer this man to another doctor?"

Post by: jasc15 on January 16, 2013, 01:01:37 PM: I caught the pilot episode (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Seinfeld_Chronicles) last week. The acting was very awkward, and many details wound up being changed in the full production (eg. Kramer was actually called Kessler, apparently, though I didnt see the full episode). It's hard to imagine the show really catching on after that pilot.

But I pressed on and as I made my way passed the breakers a strange calm came over me. I don't know if it was divine intervention or the kinship of all living things but I tell you Jerry at that moment I was a marine biologist!

George: The sea was angry that day, my friends - like an old man trying to send back soup in a deli. I got about fifty feet out and suddenly the great beast appeared before me. I tell you he was ten stories high if he was a foot. As if sensing my presence, he let out a great bellow. I said, "Easy, big fella!" And then, as I watched him struggling, I realized that something was obstructing its breathing. From where I was standing, I could see directly into the eye of the great fish.
Jerry: Mammal.
George: Whatever.
Kramer: Well, what did you do next?

George : Well then, from out of nowhere, a huge tidal wave lifted me, tossed me like a cork, and I found myself right on top of him - face to face with the blowhole. I could barely see from the waves crashing down upon me but I knew something was there. So I reached my hand in, felt around, and pulled out the obstruction.

Early on you could tell they didn’t really know what to do with Elaine. And they joke about it later when they are writing their pilot, that they don’t know how to write for a woman. The best thing they ever did was to have Jerry and Elaine be exes, which really opened up the door for the original dynamic the two of them had, and shared with George and Kramer.

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!

So Jerry recently rejected (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_vACmKnQbjw) 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:

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

I always really liked Peterman, his stories always cracks me up and that episode when George is ditched to have dinner with him is gold. In a similar spirit I think Elaine's dad (maybe he was only in that one episode? i forget) was great and you could feel the awkwardness through the screen when Jerry and George are waiting for Elaine to show. Frank is great too as is Puddy ofc.

I wrote a fairly long-winded bit about how my favorite supporting character on the show was Mickey. Not sure if it was here or another forum. He was the perfect foil to Kramer. The scene where he is auditioning for the theater role with Kramer when he has on his skinny jeans is genius.

Good call on Bookman too as the one-time character spot.

Peterman and Puddy were great adds to the recurring cast, giving us enough of their hilarity without overdoing it. As a brilliant comic once said, they left us wanting more.

HR related topics....with representing lawyers explaining various protocols for worksite behavior. Dude used a Seinfeld episode to explain something an employee got in trouble for referencing (female anatomy). He said a guy was talking about what Jerry yelled out the window to whom he said was "Mulva"....I told him that was Jerry's fall back answer/question throughout the show, and that of course it was "Dolores" at the end.

I didn't correct him in front of everyone at the meeting, but mentioned it to him afterwards. He seemed very appreciative to get the name right....though I still think it was an odd thing to bring up in the first place. Very awkward....esp. considering there were several female staff members at the meeting (including the other lawyer!). :facepalm:

I have watched the outtakes and bloopers more times than I can count, and he would get frustrated at times when someone would break, but hey, JLD once said that no one was a bigger fan of the show than they were, so the cast knew that what they were doing was hysterical, and they knew it in real time. And it is human nature. When something is funny to you, you laugh. I always find if fun to re-watch episodes and try to find moments where someone is close to breaking character, or even doing it a little, like when Jerry is trying not laugh at being read the riot act by the library cop, who ad libbed the line, Sure, go ahead and laugh if you want," because Jerry was legit trying not to laugh, or the scene where Jerry notices Kramer's teeth are discolored due to smoking ("Look away, I'm hideous!"). There are several sudden camera angle changes in that scene to where I always think they had to cobble what we saw in the episode from God only knows how many takes.

Post by: Zantera on June 05, 2022, 01:12:55 AM: You can tell Jerry is the one who struggles with that the most IMO - he feels like the one who most often 'loses it' at the others being hysterical or the situation he finds himself in being absurd. With that said I think that works in the show's favor because Jerry is the 'normal guy' of the friend group and many of the crazy situations happen because of his friends so it's almost fitting in a way that he as the 'narrator' is the one to react in a way like "this is too funny to be happening". :lol

when Jerry is trying not laugh at being read the riot act by the library cop, who ad libbed the line, Sure, go ahead and laugh if you want," because Jerry was legit trying not to laugh
That is absolutely one of my favorite scenes in the whole length and breadth of the show.

Post by: Cool Chris on June 13, 2022, 08:31:12 PM: He had an extensive career, and every headline I've seen references "Philip Baker Hall... of Seinfeld..." which just goes to show 1) how much of a landmark show that was, and 2) how awesome he was in that role.

Post by: KevShmev on June 13, 2022, 09:27:38 PM: He was one of those actors who always seemed to pop up in everything. R.I.P.

As for one scene, I could maybe narrow it down to Mel Torme singing to (what they thought was a mentally challenged) Kramer. The combo of Michael Richards' reactions and the booming laughs of Larry David and Julia Louis-Dreyfus off camera just make it pure gold.

I never caught that laughter. But yes, great call on that scene for sheer absurdity and hilarity. Probably wouldn't pass muster in 2022. Along those lines, the one scene I always remember is after Jerry tanks that gal's puffy shirt idea, and they leave the diner and see the bums with the shirts on, a gal in the audience audibly cries "Oh my god..." before the laughter erupts.

Or him as the underwear model. And also when he has to get rid of his briefs

It would seem all my fave moments involve Kramer.

But now that I think about it a bit, George's 'Marine Biologist' monologue is right up there.

Post by: crazy climber dude on June 14, 2022, 04:48:34 AM: This clip is really two scenes, but includes my favorite scene (the first of the two, and is all one take).....and the second scene is a continuation of the first. As such, not only is it the best sequence in a Seinfeld episode... it's JLD at her finest, and perhaps one of the greatest 3 and a half minutes in a sitcom ever.

Title: Re: Official DTF Seinfeld Appreciation Thread V. It's a Thread About Nothing!
Post by: KevShmev on June 14, 2022, 05:29:52 AM: I so rarely see that JLD scene because it is in an otherwise poor episode. There are a handful of Seinfeld episodes from the early seasons I never re-watch, and The Busboy is one of them.

George's marine biologist is definitely way up there for sure.

One little moment that makes me LOL for real every time is from The Pen, when the neighbor lady comes in and goes, "So, where's the new pen?" Morty's eye roll, which basically says, "here we go," is freaking priceless. That kills me every time. 1:37 in the below link.

But I don't know Seinfeld as well as some of you do. I probably should give it a watch sometimes.

You need to check that episode out. I can especially relate to Jerry better as an adult with the whole “helping a guy move is a whole new level of friendship” thing.

Didn't watch (don't have to) .... that's another fantastic scene.
"BOXERS!?!?! How do you wear these things? They're riding up on me; THERE'S NOTHING HOLDING ME IN PLACE. I'm flippin, I'm floppin'.".

I was looking for a gif of him slapping his entire pile of gitch on Jerry's table.

"Well I'm just gonna have to move now"

I'm kinda curious how accurate my quotations are - I'm going completely from memory on all of these (which I hope all of you are as well).

I loved him in so many bit scenes. From Cheers, to Boston Legal, to Psych. The guy was such a good deadpan comedic actor at times.

Post by: KevShmev on June 15, 2022, 06:21:45 AM: The blooper of Kramer drinking the beer is still so awesome (at the end of the clip below). They should have left that as is in the actual episode, as it would have fit his character perfectly, and the actor playing the accountant in the scene not laughing at all still seems like an amazing accomplishment.

Psych is one of my favorite TV shows, if not my favorite TV show, ever. I forgot he was in that. He's one of those guys you just saw everywhere.

I've said before Seinfeld's brilliance, aside from the writing, lies not in its star, or co-stars, but in its "minor" characters. And I use minor in quotes as the impact of Frank, Estelle, Newman, Mickey, and the rest is anything but minor.

I think the term you’re looking for is “secondary”, and yes, I agree with you.

Post by: KevShmev on February 04, 2023, 03:13:48 PM: Well, the greatness and hilarity of the main four stars cannot be overstated (take any of them out of the equation and the show is not even close to being the same), but, yes, they did always did a great job in casting with the secondary and minor characters, as well as the one-episode ones.
