Looks like you are right. I would have assumed someone spergy enough to make a video like that would be spergy enough to make it mistake free. Weird.

Read this whole thread and laughed more times than I can count. Seinfeld and Curb are the two greatest comedy shows, bar none. What most of you who are arguing about whether the eclair was garbage or not are ignoring is the fact that it was in someone else's house. I think whether it is considered garbage or not, it's disgusting and thus a completely acceptable thing for George to do  I'll look at my favorite parts of episodes and they will almost always feature George. What a character. And it's always something simple that he does that is totally GEORGE and a combination of something hilarious he says paired with something physical. For instance: * The Big Salad: When George confronts Elaine about thanking his girlfriend, his dance/gesture when mentioning "but you had to have the BIIIIIIG salad!" * When George is talking about the woman he is dating that turns out to be bald. He mentions her taking off her hat, places his hand on top of his head and waves... "HELLOOOOO!" * "Now if you will kindly help me unwedge my front wheel, I'll be on my way." - then the expression he has on his face when he beeps the horn. * When he is talking about that woman's degree (or certificate) on the wall and he says "... now that's my idea of commeedddyyyyyyyy" with a wiggle of his hips. Oh George.

I just yesterday saw the episode where Jerry goes to Florida to buy the cadillac back from Jack Klompus(?), and on one of his trips finds that Jack drove it into a swamp. Jack: "I even lost my upside down pen!" Jerry: "... somehow that makes it all worthwhile." Then later, when he's in his condo, trying to convince him to let him stay the night and him refusing... Jerry: "It was that quip about the pen wasn't it?" Jack: "Yes it was."

I gotta say "The Cartoon" is one of my very few disliked episodes. kathy griffin in a major guest role? NO THANKS. The one bright spot being Kramer's rant about George's attraction to the lady Jerry.

We both know it's the job of a general to by God get things done. Who would win in a grit-off - the Postmaster General or Detective Bookman?

That salute that Kramer gives the P-G is a really nice touch. Also, Newman's assortment of small sounds. From the crying in that episode, to that quack he gives Jerry when Jerry shows the huge flaw in Newman's Newmanium (or is it Newmannium?) party. God, that quack kills me every single time.

One of my favorite Newman moments is when he takes a bite of broccoli and then spits it out shouting "Vile Weed!", and then takes a shot of honey mustard.

It always amazed me at how much influence Kramer has towards the rest of the gang. All of his dumbass ideas seem to make complete sense towards the others and they see no other way act upon certain situations. I was just watching The Package today and all of the bullshit that blew up at the end came as a direct result of Kramer's idea of not only presuading Jerry into commiting mail fraud but convincing George to take racey pictures of himself to impress the photo-store girl instead of just asking her out.

Edit: and I know this thread is apparently -- and thankfully -- in agreeance that 8 and 9 aren't the big drop-off they're reputed to be, but I just want to give an extra push for season 8. It's tied with 4 and 7 for my favourite season. So many great episodes: The Andrea Doria, The van Buren Boys, The Muffin Tops, The Fatigues, The Checks, The Little Kicks... The Comeback!

I love the little legend of Jerry from the episode I think was called The Race. He discovers that his girlfriend Lois' boss is a guy from his old school who he beat in a race when they were young, only Jerry "cheated" when he thought the starter pistol had gone off. The guy was so livid that he remanded a re-run and because Jerry knew that he couldn't beat the guy in a race he refused and declared he'd never race again. And the legend grew that Jerry Seinfeld was such a great runner and this other guy was just a sore loser. So with this guy back in Jerry's life, they try all their normal ridiculous tricks like George pretending to bump into them for the first time in years and back up Jerry's version of events, but it doesn't work and the Boss is dangling Lois' employment over Jerry (who is only dating her because her name is Lois!) so he agrees to the race and the Boss calls in the entire old school to watch him destroy the legend of Jerry. Only Kramer's car backfires and Jerry takes off early again and beats the guy, who continues to insist that the gun wasn't fired but nobody will listen to him. I just love the idea of all the people from the school having grown up with the Legend of Jerry the Runner, and seeing him finally agree to come out of retirement and absolutely smoke his livid rival and continue to believe in the Legend. The best part is that the jerk Boss is absolutely right, Jerry did cheat and knows he cheated but NOBODY will believe him. It's amazing.

The Superman Theme at the end and Jerry pushing Elaine out of the way... then the wink at the camera. God drat, what a good episode. All of the communism stuff is great too. Everytime I hear someone say they are, or someone is, well read I respond "Or maybe he's well...red?" Nobody gets it

LesterGroans posted:You ran away from him as if he were the boogedy man! I think people say that the last two seasons aren't as good because the show had a slightly different feel once Larry David left. The show was just as good, but in the minds of many people, different feel means not the same as before, which means not as good.

I always enjoy when they make fun of Jerry's routine https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dZF1SJW7JFw By the way, in one of the episodes that was on TBS yesterday (the one where Jerry tries to cheer up the sick guy), what was the deal with Pachyderm? I guess I missed the conversation at the beginning of the episode or something because he was referenced a couple times and I didn't really catch the meaning.

Yeah, that's right, again. Bye." J: "Where'd you get the bricks?" K: "Jerry, the whole building is brick." Newman, to other postal employee: "I'll handle this Violet, why don't you go and take your three-hour break?" Jerry: "FRANKIE? FRANKIE? Frankie, is that you?" Creepy guy digging a hole in the park: "My name is Edgar." Jerry, fumbling for words, regains his composure: "Have a nice night." Edgar: "Thank you." "In addition to being a Postmaster, I'm also... a general." The Wiz, George's parents "cutting him loose", and him then trying to date his cousin, this show is just so drat dense with hilarious subplots.

Everything they do with Newman and the post-office is just brilliant. It's like Larry David had a bad experience with a mailman once and is now forever pissed off about it.

David Puddy has to be one of my favorite characters. Elaine: David, I'm going to hell! The worst place in the world! With devils and those caves and the ragged clothing! And the heat! My god, the heat! I mean, what do you think about all that? Puddy: Gonna be rough. I still use that whenever some tells me something that they don't want to do.
