The only way to get huge fast is to insult a passing witch and hope she curses you with Beast-strength.


Kramer was really just ahead of his time. Some of these Kramer synopses are just descriptions of New Yorkers today.
"Kramer begins to wear extremely tight jeans"
"Kramer takes advantage of an intern with a nonexistent business"
"Kramer creates a show in his living room, reacting to current events in his life"

If only there were a show set in the current day about wealthy, lazy New Yorkers dealing with nonexistant problems. Maybe mostly starring girls?

ive been to plenty of those, it was all a rage to "choose your own toppings" for everything from burgers to pizza. like not just order it, but stand there and point and watch as the person spread the topping out

sometimes i just want a sammich and i dont got the time to walk the guy at subway through it step by step. just make it look like the picture and lemme alone

no no no, you turn the dough, you put on the cheese, the toppings, and you... *clicks with tongue* slide it in the oven

Guys it *is* possible to be rich and famous and still live a relatively mundane normal life, which is the only hurdle you have to jump to suspend your disbelief on fuckin Seinfeld. He got invited to be on the Tonight Show as part of an episode plot where it was presented as just another normal gig for him, so it's not like they were trying to make him some kind of disingenuous every-man.

Newman learns that bottles and cans can be refunded in Michigan for ten cents each, but Kramer tells him it's impossible to turn a profit. Newman becomes obsessed with finding a way to make the scheme work.

Jerry accidentally knocks his girlfriend's toothbrush into the toilet, and she uses it before he can tell her. Kramer repaints a 4-lane highway to two extra-wide lanes, intending it to make it more luxurious, but his efforts only result in mass confusion and congestion.

After the early 90's "no one works out but acts like they are awesome for no reason" era everyone got really self conscious and started fake tanning and dying their hair and working out a lot.

Everyone is still rebelling against that late 90's high maintenance thing 20 years later lol

GEORGE: "Hey Elaine, look at this big brute I got at the pound-- yeah, a real brute. Just a real brute"

ELAINE: "A Schnauzer?? IT'S NOT EVEN FULL GROWN!"

GEORGE: "Of course! The Germans breed all kinds of dogs, Elaine. This is like the swiss army knife of the german dog world-- light, sturdy, good at everything."

I mean saying the word doesn't equate to racism. Even the lynching stuff, he was going for tasteless shocks cause he was frustrated. It was a deplorable thing to say and he deserves 90% of the backlash, but I don't think the guy is honestly racist.
