Right now he's a fact checker for New York Magazine. It's not much, but it has a certain...kind of quiet dignity.

When I started dating my current girlfriend, she didn't like Seinfeld. She did not dislike it, but she hadn't really watched Seinfeld. I set out to fix this problem. Recently we were discussing some social situation, and she said, "there should be an episode of Seinfeld about this." I feel as though I have succeeded at life. Other important discussion topics: 1) Bro was a superior name to manzier. Brozier is better than both of them. 2) Velcro in the back was a terrible idea. No way it would hold up under the required tension.

GEORGE LIKES THE BANANAS! SO LET HIM HAVE BANANAS ON THE SIDE! Frank and Estelle are without a doubt my favorite characters outside of the main 4. Frank gets a lot of love but was Estelle Harris absolutely perfect for that role.

If you want a mindfuck, you should watch the scene they filmed from The Outing where Fran Drescher filled in for Estelle Harris

EATIN SHRIMP posted:GEORGE LIKES THE BANANAS! As good as they were, I still maintain that Jerry's parents were perhaps the best set of minor characters in the whole show. The "Yaaaaaay Jerry got it open" scene still makes me howl every time I see it. It's perfect. Also, just the small throwaway things we hear about them like Jerry's jacket story all ring perfectly true. I do actually wonder about the "Jewish" element of Seinfeld humor, and how much of it is accessible. Growing up (I was raised in a Jewish household in a predominantly Jewish community), I always thought that every joke that "worked" in Seinfeld, based on cultural Judaism or not, worked because it was funny, and anyone who had a good sense of humor could see the merit therein. Then I went to college, left my Jewish community, and suddenly there were people who didn't think Seinfeld was funny. It blew my mind, I remember actually calling up friends and asking them what the gently caress was wrong with these people, and over and over again the response that came back was that Seinfeld was "Jewish humor" and that I shouldn't expect everyone to like it because of that. Obviously, I know that's not the case, as only one character of the main four come from a Jewish background. Also, there are plenty of valid reasons to not like the show. There are, however, certainly jokes that stem from cultural Judaism and I am perpetually curious about how people who may not be as familiar with that perspective digest the show, and take in those sorts of jokes.

My grandparents weren't Jewish but they especially dug Frank and Estelle, because they were an image of themselves.  I have no eye for fashion?!

That's about as much as I know about Jewish customs* and I thought the show was hilarious and never felt like any part of the show was going over my head or referencing something I didn't understand. Larry David did a drat good job of making sure that the show was genuinely funny on its own merits. * you guys go to Temple on Fridays and.... uhhh... you can't eat pork, right? That's about all I know.

But I agree that they were the perfect "old mom and dad" couple. My family's certainly not Jewish, and that's exactly what my parents are like/will be like in a few years.

Larry David did a drat good job of making sure that the show was genuinely funny on its own merits. I couldn't agree more. I've just heard it used so many times when people don't like the show. My roommate in college insisted that the only reason I didn't like a Tyler Perry show and he didn't like Seinfeld is that we just came from different backgrounds and we didn't understand the opposing sensibilities of humor. It's not that I ever agreed with that sentiment, but I do recognize that the shows come from two different places. They also, however, have a veritable chasm separating the two of them as far as writing quality goes. So yeah, I've still been curious, but I tend to dissect and analyze humor far too much.

I find it disturbing that you equate eating a block of cheese with some sort of bachelor paradise.

Was that wrong? Should I have not done that? I tell you I gotta plead ignorance on this thing because if anyone had said anything to me at all when I first started here that that sort of thing was frowned upon, you know, cause I've worked in a lot of offices and I tell you people do that all the time.

You know George, it struck me today me that a Communist pipeline into the vast reservoir of Cuban baseball talent could be the greatest thing ever to happen to this organization. You could be invaluable to this franchise. George, there's a southpaw down there nobody's been able to get a look at. Something Rodriguez, I don't really know his name. You get yourself down to Havana right away.
