I just watched The Opera again, and I always forget just how genuinely creepy Joe Devola is. The scene in his apartment is loving crazy.

We had a funny guy with us in Korea. A tailgunner. They blew his brains out all over the Pacific. There's nothing funny about that.

So has anyone ever used a Seinfeld phrase by accident before? Last night, I got back from work. I tried sleeping, but I was too hungry to fall asleep. I got some pretzels from the kitchen, and started reading a book. After I was full, I didn't even realize it when I thought, "These pretzels are making me thirsty." I felt so lame, haha.

Does "that's a shame" count? Because that's basically a five-day-a-week phrase for me. I don't even think about it anymore.

I may have this wrong but I love Jerry and Elaine's little back and forth at the end Elaine:Dad thinks George is gay. Jerry:Because of the singing? Elaine:No dad thinks everyone is gay. Alton Benes is such a good character for being a one off. Seinfeld is just great in general but that show really knew how to do parents.

Do you ever see Elaine's parents? She mentions him being a drunk a few times but that is about all I can remember.

Ohhhhh yeah imdb posted:Alton Benes, played by Lawrence Tierney, was originally going to be a recurring character like Jerry's and George's parents. But Tierney's notorious volatility terrified the cast and crew and they did not want him back. According to the producers, Tierney took a knife from the set and hid it under his jacket. When Jerry Seinfeld asked him about it, Tierney pulled the knife and proceeded to imitate the famous shower scene and score from Psycho (1960).

That sounds like it inspired the raisin-stealing storyline too. "Did he just, TAKE, the butcher knife?"

I'm watching "The Andrea Doria" right now and this just may be the best of all Seinfeld episodes. It's got my aforementioned favorite moment "Mail on Sunday?" along with the fantastic George plot, recounting the harrowing tale of his life and Elaine's "big head".

I remember reading about Larry David's early stand-up and sometimes he would walk on stage, analyze the crowd, shake his head, say "Nah... this isn't going to work..." and leave.

That reminds me of when the band The Melvins would play an entire set of feedback at a music festival instead of an actual set, because their record label at the time (Atlantic) would put them on the worst bills ever.
