http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gSf2O80brbU My other favorite intro is for the Merv Griffin Show, which I can't seem to find: Kramer: We're like Cain and Abel. Jerry: You know Cain slew Abel. Kramer: No he didn't. They were in business together...drywall or something. Jerry: The way I remember it, Abel worked all summer harvesting his crops, while Cain just played in the field. Then when winter came, Abel had all the nuts. Cain had no nuts. So he killed him. Kramer: See, the way I remember it, Cain - he was a successful doctor, but when he took this special formula, he became Mr Abel. Jerry: You broke my blender, didn't you? Kramer: Yeah, I was trying to make gravel, and it just, didn't work out.

What the $%&^ are you doing you little piece of @%$#! Frankly, Jerry was well within his rights to yell at that kid. He was loving with his drat tape like a moron.

I've always been a fan of George heavy episodes. The Opposite is probably my very favorite. Watching George succeed when Elaine fails never gets old.

I really doubt you'll find alot of people that argue that George doesn't have the best scenes, the series still wouldn't work as well without the whole cast. I also have a soft spot for Kramer since I know a guy that's about 80% as insane as him, acts exactly like him with the spastic movements and always has a terrible idea (that he follows through) that will make him rich.

I've probably said this already but George is easily the greatest character in tv history. His lies, his neurosis, his schemes and determination, his utter failures in life. I can't get enough of it. My favorite "Georgeism" that I use on a regular basis: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yd9ma2UVLHM

The defining moment for George's character, to me, was when he made the decision to eat the eclair out of the trash can. And the really hosed up thing? I can sort of see his logic. It's an eye opening moment in your life when you find yourself thinking like George Costanza.

It was a perfectly good eclair, sitting on top of the trash, on a wrapper and a magazine! It wasn't even in contact with real trash, and was definitely recently put there. I say it's fair game...George's only true mistake was getting caught. Still love how Jerry puts it though: "You find yourself in the kitchen. You see an eclair in the receptacle, and you think to yourself, 'What the Hell, I'll just eat some trash.'"

I know it's an obvious thing to say, but Seinfeld thrives in basically taking all those little things that people do but don't talk about because they know it's socially not acceptable, and then having the person that does it fall under social scrutiny. The fact that you can even take sides on stuff like the eclair incident goes to show just how in tune the writers (Larry David in particular) were with the average middle-class person.

Yeah, the bite mark makes it unequivocally trash. Plus, the pile was still a couple of inches below the lid wasn't it? It's one thing if it's sort of floating on top of a pile that extends to above the lid, but below the lid? Inexcusable.

It might start with eating an eclair that may be above the lid, but if you stay on that slippery slope you could become a world class, trash eating wrestler.

You might think you're kidding... quote:Tao of the dumpster quote:This was a lifestyle choice rather than necessity.

Really? The bite mark isn't that big of a deal. Just think of it as bonding with your new family or something.

I think that the reason George works so well is because of the performance of Jason Alexander. He manages to take this guy who does almost exclusively horrible things, and somehow make him relatable. You keep thinking "Well, George is a basically good guy", even though he isn't! He is a terrible person who does terrible things, but somehow you still root for him.

Just like Larry David! I always find myself relating to LD and seeing the validity in his points of view. There's no question his "character" on Curb is an awful person though.

The thing about George is that all of his flaws are extremely human. Everyone knows someone that does as little as possible at work, or that tells white lies to get out of commitments. We've all felt like refusing to go through with some sort of social obligation or hating to apologize when we don't think we did anything wrong. George just has all of these things crammed into on character.

Also, the George eating from the trash episode came on today and it's so hilarious because it goes from George eating the trash to him wiping off a windshield with a newspaper to him coming out of the bathroom with no shirt on. Also it has Pittman doing Hitler. And it ends with the gymnast telling Jerry: "In my country, they speak of a man so virile, so potent, that to spend a night with such a man is to enter a world of sensual delights most women dare not dream of. This man is known as The Comedian. You may tell jokes Mr. Jerry Seinfeld, but you are no Comedian." TMMadman fucked around with this message at 00:32 on May 4, 2010 |

Yeah I also caught the George trash eating episode tonight. One thing that always gets me when I watch Seinfeld reruns is how much memorable poo poo could happen over the course of episode. I remembered the trash eating of course. I remembered Kramer passing his kidney stone and knocking that guy off balance. I remembered George took everything off when he went to the bathroom. I even sort of remembered the gymnast discussions. However, I did not remember that all that happened in one god drat episode. edit: Oh, and the 3-D art. AND the Hitler mustache part.

I thought I was the only one!
