If anyone can find it, someone needs to post up the parody of Seinfeld from the cartoon Histeria! because I remember it being amazing to be watching a cartoon as a kid and seeing a Seinfeld reference. Thanks to the sperglords at Wikipedia, I know which episode it is:Wikipedia posted:In "The American Revolution of Abe Lincoln," Abraham Lincoln spoofs the show Seinfeld called Abe-Feld with Allan Pinkerton as Cosmo Kramer, George B. McClellan as George Costanza, and Jefferson Davis as Newman.

Tiny Fistpump posted:Have to say Seinfeld will probably always remain #1 on the all time TV chart for me. I'm an 80's kid that has watched a terrifying amount of television but I honestly don't think anything beats Seinfeld for me. Yeah, count me in too. I probably know just about every line from every episode (don't ask me to recite them though), but I still love watching this show.

One thing I love about Seinfeld is that they never, ever attempted one of those shmaltzy serious, dramatic moments that every other sitcom does. Susan dying is hysterical, as is Jerry shouting "Manya died!" out the window. I can't think of a single instance where they tried to be serious.

The Money is on, great episode. Slappy White, an alias Jerry uses that I don't remember seeing mentioned itt Kramer spelling Seinfeld with a V over the phone and being corrected by Helen Morty hooking his cable workout thing to Kramer's doorknob and freaking him out etc.

Oh well I guess I've just never actually heard someone pronounce it like that, so I just assumed that was another joke. Like they picked the least likely name that was still somewhat plausible.

It's a live action cartoon.

Apologies if this was mentioned before, but does anyone else find it hilarious how Elaine tries to get out of awkward conversations by shouting "WHAT!?.. Oh... Coming!" As if someone is calling for her from another room? I love it how she knows that it's so obviously fake but continues to go along with it anyway and leaves the room... From memory she's done it at least twice in the series. Also, I wouldn't be surprised in the least if someone here has tried it to get out of something.

I'm also pretty sure they thought that would be the series finale at the time. Edit: apparently I'm wrong about the timing. This wasn't even the last episode of the season. Strange that they would act like it never happened only a week later. Diabolik900 fucked around with this message at 14:34 on Aug 18, 2010 |

They planned to keep them together at the start of season 3 but Jerry said he went on the road that summer and everyone kept telling him they didn't want Jerry & Elaine in a relationship, so he came back and told Larry that and boom, Season 3 starts, Jerry and Elaine are not a couple and no more is said about it.

"Is this or is this not your signature?" "As a matter a fact, it isn't."  "...Uncle Leo?" I just like the implication that he signs as "Uncle Leo"

I love the scene where Jerry's on the phone with Uncle Leo and then hears a big explosion, and he gets all shocked. I too will get that poster on my wall, some day soon.

While I respect that part of Married With Children, I never really fully understood its appeal v Actually I distinctly remember an episode in Married With Children that ends something like this: ---- Al: "Oh, I forgot something really important in the car." Peggy + kids: "probably your porn magazines." Al heads out to the car, opens the trunk and takes out a stack of porn magazines but then sets them aside and underneath them is a picture of his family, at which he stares fondly. Episode ends. ---- The scene's always stuck with me because it's the only one like that I can remember in the show.

I swear there was one episode that ended like that.

I figure that was there more to juxtapose how lousy Jerry's gift was, not so much to be a particularly nice moment or anything.

Hahaha, some Googling points out you're right, but according to IMDB they removed the text at some point in syndication, which is probably when I caught the episode. I'm glad that Al's brief moment of humanity has been vindicated.
