Eye contact counters everything
I love how George describes Kramers life: "Kramer goes to a fantasy camp. His whole life is a fantasy camp. People should plunk down two thousand dollars to live like him for a week. Do nothing, fall rear end-backwards into money, mooch food off your neighbours, and have sex without dating. That's a fantasy camp"

I can't not read that and hear Georges voice, and It's awesome! Probably the two best characters in TV history.

Oh a new page. Here have some more Kramer!

I have this shirt for some reason. I wore it sometimes in high school but then Michael Richards had his racist rant and I don't think I've put it on since. I suppose enough time has passed to make it ok to wear again (once you look past its tackiness).

I think Cane Break meant you can buy a shirt that has Kenny Kramer wearing a Kramer shirt on it

Now we just need a t-shirt of Kramer wearing a shirt of Kenny Kramer wearing a shirt of Kramer, with the main Kramer being confronted by Leon in his Farrakhan getup.

I loved the Seinfeld stuff in the last season of Curb.

My brother's going to audition for a play in a little over a month, and he has to present a contemporary monologue (less than 2 minutes), and I'm trying to convince him to pick something from Seinfeld. I know the show has mostly dialogue, so I was wondering if there was anything approaching a good monologue in the show.

My own memory fails me.

I considered it, but I thought that the punchline relies on Kramer's "what is that, a titleist?" along with Jerry's "mammal" comment.

It's funny...

You were so scary at night.
Kramer: C'mon Frank, I need you. I mean the war was fifty years ago.

Frank: In my mind, there's a war still going on.

Kramer: Alright, what happened, Frank? What is it that you can't get over?

Frank pours a shot of whiskey and drinks it.

Frank: Inchon, Korea, 1950. I was the best cook Uncle Sam ever saw, slinging
hash for the Fighting 103rd. As we marched north, our supply lines were getting
thin. One day a couple of GIs found a crate, inside were six hundred pounds of
prime Texas steer. At least it once was prime. The Use date was three weeks
past, but I was arrogant, I was brash, I thought if I used just the right
spices, cooked it long enough...

Kramer: What happened?

Frank: I went too far. I over seasoned it. Men were keeling over all around
me. I can still hear the retching, the screaming. I sent sixteen of my own men
to the latrines that night. They were just boys.

Kramer: Frank, you were a boy too. And it was war. It was a crazy time for
everyone.

Frank: Tell that to Bobby Colby. All that kid wanted to do was go home. Well
he went home alright, with a crater in his colon the size of a cutlet. Had to
sit him on a cork the eighteen-hour flight home!

Kramer: Frank, now listen to me. Two hundred Jewish singles need you. This is
your chance to make it all right again.

Frank: No. No, I'll never cook again! Never! Now get out of my house!! Get
out. Go.


You could cut out most of the Kramer lines.

Have him do the scene where Mickey has to do a scene relying on Kramer to come in and sit down.

I'm pretty sure most auditions allow for call and answer beats, otherwise you'd be severely restricted in terms of well known passages that aren't in classic literature.

These are all good nominations but i don't think any of them top the first one, George's encounter with the whale. I'm sure it would be okay to have a couple of non-george lines there as well.

^^^^ Woah, real Kramer sounds loving rad.

I like how they talk about him in the interviews, like when LD went to him and asked if he could write him into the show.
The whole real life mythos surrounding the beginnings of this show are just so incredibly meta. Jerry essentially playing himself, Michael Richards playing a real life guy that most likely did most of the things that appeared on the show (that in itself is :psyduck:), and Jason Alexander playing living the embodiment of Larry David.

It's breaking the 4th wall by even existing.

I was thinking about this the other day. I couldn't get over how much the newest season of Curb reminded me of Synecdoche, New York.
