You know, the one thing I never ever got. Why does Babu blame everything on Jerry? I mean, the whole incident gets used against him in a court of law during a trial that lands him in prison. Where does Babu get off?

Well... Jerry, a stand-up comedian, did give Babu, a restaurant owner, some advice on how yo run his restaurant. I think that's illegal, at least in NY.

You can't really think about the logic of the trial too closely. Neither the charges themselves (failure to intervene against an armed robber) nor the prosecution's plan (to establish them as pricks) would ever fly in the real world.

Not sure if you've seen this video in the youtube thread, but I think it's so hilarious. It belongs in this thread.

seinfeld inception parody trailer:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iovzq4y9drU


Regarding the finale, I think it's the PERFECT idea for the closure of the series to have the characters stand trial for being selfish. However, the execution was boring. It just wasn't funny to hear each story from each of seinfeld/george's enemies. It would have been better to see jackie childs talk more, perhaps argue with the other lawyer, and have the seinfeld gang called to the stand. It just wasn't that interesting.

Went on a little Seinfeld binge this weekend; it had been way too long since I had actually sat down and watched some episodes. Truly one the best TV shows ever made.

To share a personal anecdote with fellow Seinfeld fans: I watched the show pretty much from season 2 on, even though as a kid I didn't catch everything. I can still remember watching "The Contest" live as it aired and my dad just howling with laughter.

Anyway, a local Disc Jockey store was having it's yearly auction of random autographed stuff sometime around Christmas of '94. My dad won an autographed "Seinfeld" script with signatures from the four main characters. The episode? The Switch. I've done a lot of searching to try and figure out if I have everything in order, and so I'm not 100 percent on the timeline, but I do know this: we had that autographed script in our house BEFORE the episode aired (1/5/95). At the very end of the script, Kramer's first name is replaced by asterisks, except for the VERY last line: "Cosmo?" So we knew his first name (or were about 95% sure...the asterisks still threw us off until it aired) beforehand. I always thought that was really, really cool, and a great example of why I loved my dad and his sense of humor.

Plus, I will forever have an autographed copy of the script of "The Switch." I can only hope my kids and grandkids will realize how nice a piece of history they have.

In fact, I'm gonna see if I can hunt it down tomorrow after work and take pics of the front and the final page with the asterisks.

I was watching the episode where Elaine, Kramer and Newman decide to rub out the dog. I love the shot of Kramer sleeping and then the look into his dream where he is dressed as a boy from the Tom Sawyer era with the dog attacking him. I wish I could find a video of it.

This is one of my favorite scenes (in a great episode).

% Jerry and George talking in Jerry's room.
George: Did she do it on purpose?
Jerry: It was my fault, I told her the wrong door.
George: I was supposed to see her. She wasn't supposed to see me.
Jerry: So what?
George: Well ordinarily I wouldn't mind. But...
Jerry: But...
George: Well I just got back from swimming in the pool. And the water was
cold...
Jerry: Oh... You mean... shrinkage.
George: Yes. Significant shrinkage!
Jerry: So you feel you were short changed.
George: Yes! I mean, if she thinks that's me she's under a complete
misapprehension. That was not me, Jerry. That was not me.
Jerry: Well, so what's the difference?
George: What if she discusses it with Jane?
Jerry: Oh, she's not gonna tell Jane.
George: How do you know?
Jerry: Women aren't like us.
George: They're worse! They're much worse than us, they talk about
everything! Couldn't you at least tell her about the shrinkage factor?
Jerry: No, I'm not gonna tell her about your shrinkage. Besides, I think
women know about shrinkage.
George: How do women know about shrinkage? (They see Elaine walking down
the hall) Elaine! Get! (She enters) Do women know about shrinkage?
Elaine: What do you mean, like laundry?
George: No.
Jerry: Like when a man goes swimming... afterwards...
Elaine: It shrinks?
Jerry: Like a frightened turtle!
Elaine: Why does it shrink?
George: It just does.
Elaine: I don't know how you guys walk around with those things

"The Stall" was on here yesterday. I didn't see it get mentioned here, but drat, between Kramer's phone sex addiction, George's mancrush on "mimbo", proto-bro Tony (Jerry even pops up his collar to mock him) and Elaine's revenge, I don't think there's a single unfunny moment in that episode.
