Commercial I saw on youtube. I was really surprised to see Seinfeld in it... Boy is he showing his age.

I never understood that little plot. Were there actually shelves at the video store for movie connoisseurs to make suggestions and stuff? I never saw anything like that in real life, maybe it was a New York thing.

I remember that at both Blockbuster and mom & pop stores (West Coast Video), in the Philly suburbs.

You see them live on occasionally at some retail stores; JB HiFi here in Australia likes to have their staff make up little recommendations for games, albums etc.

Absolutely, my local video place had a staff picks shelf.

I had a local video rental place in my neighborhood when I was growing up. It was pretty much entirely composed of different levels of shelving, all the different genres were sorted out down to the most minute classification, and the staff was really knowledgeable. It was exactly the kind of place one would expect to see a "staff picks" section. And yet, there never was one :(

I also had a Blockbuster in my neighborhood and they never had one, either.

Just watched "The Boyfriend" and noticed that you can see Roger McDowell doing the actual spitting during Jerry's re-enactment of the "magic loogie" trajectory.

Just got back seeing Jerry do stand-up in Moncton. What a great show, really funny from start to finish.

He also had some great interaction with the crowd. He was talking about how everyone hates to answer their phones and has tons of security screens, said something like "Who the hell is 5151?! That better not be who I think it is..." when someone yelled out "It's Newman!" That prompted some really funny back and forth between him and the audience for a couple minutes. All in all it was a great show.

I love how they clearly just dressed up a guy in women's clothes to shoot that hand, but not just any guy, a guy with particularly rugged looking hands.

When you think about it too, that would be a total deal breaker no matter how hot the girl is. Because blehhh..

The spit could not have come from behind! There had to have been a second spitter, behind the bushes, on the gravelly road.

I hadn't seen JFK until years after that, so while that scene is inherently funny, once I saw JFK (and laughed hysterically during that bit), I laughed again so much more the second time. If only because stupid Wayne Knight is in both scenes.

Strength and speed, that's why you're a special agent.
I said, “Listen Marlene,” and then the next thing I know, I’m in the middle of it. And there’s this voice inside of me going, “You’re doing it! You’re doing it!” And then she started to cry, and I weakened a bit. I almost relented, but the voice, Jerry, the voice said, “Keep going, keep going. You’re almost out!” It’s like I was making a prison break, you know, and I’m heading for the wall, and I trip and I twist my ankle, and they throw the light on you, you know. So, somehow I get though the crying and I keep running. Then the cursing started. She’s firing at me from the guard tower. “Son of a bang! Son of a boom!” I get to the top of the wall – the front door. I opened it up, I’m one foot away, I took one last look around the penitentiary, and I jumped!

I like the idea (showcased a little in the Seinfeld season of Curb Your Enthusiasm) that Jerry is just as bad as George/Larry but he goads them on to be the more upfront of the two in regards to being a terrible person, and Jerry looks better as a result.

Like taking an ugly friend out to a bar so you'll look better by comparison.

Indeed, one of my favorite lines from the show is when George asks Jerry, "What kind of a person are you?" and Jerry responds with, "I think I'm pretty much like you, only successful."

It's the same dynamic in It's Always Sunny, where Dennis is probably the worst loving person on the show but because he's handsome and a charmer, gets away with all kinds of poo poo that the others don't.
