Flobbster posted:Jerry's wardrobe wasn't a whole lot better, in some of those early episodes where he was wearing a pink undershirt with a bright purple dress shirt over it That was Jerry with his celebrity lifestyle-- flashy, making the scene, flouting convention.

Dr_Amazing posted:I know Vanderlay from Vanderlay Industries, but what's the origin of Jerry and Kraner's fake names? Van Nostrand came from an earlier episode when Kramer was posing as a dermatologist screening people at Kruger Industrial Smoothing so George could get a shirtless picture of Kruger in order to have a photo retouched to prevent Kruger from realizing that George was the man who threw his childrens' beach setup into the ocean in mixed-up berserker rage [two notes: (1) I really enjoy attempting to recap latter-season Seinfeld plots in a single sentence, (2) Kruger is by far the most underrated Seinfeld character of all time-- in my opinion he's Goerge's best boss, even better than Steinbrenner-- it absolutely kills me every time Frank refers to him as "Mr. Cougar"). I don't think Kal Varnsen came out before that episode, but I do enjoy that they all have developed vaguely Scandinavian aliases. edit: just realized that Kramer was Pennypacker in that episode and not Van Nostram. I'm pretty sure Vandelay is the only recurring name. R.D. Mangles fucked around with this message at 00:50 on Aug 11, 2010 |

I think the primary lesson in Seinfeld is to always have a go-to preposterous sounding alias.

So, Ceausescu. He must've been some dictator. Oh yes. He was not shy about dictating. I assure you, if I had not been a dictator, I would not have been able to get away with that one.

Supreme Allah posted:I think Jerry has a certain respect and even envy for George. Jerry forces himself into discipline, but a lot of classic moments show how much smarter and cunning George really is. George instantly picks up on bullshit and calls everyone on it - Jerry sits there and conforms to society. If Poppy had peed on George's couch, would he have left that apartment in one piece? That leads to a great dynamic on the last season of Curb Your Enthusiasm where Jerry is the one person in the world who agrees with Larry's righteous codes of societal honor, but has just enough social savvy to get away with it or get Larry to do the dirty work of throwing down his meaningless gauntlets. Having said that, there's no way George is more cunning than Jerry. The more I watch the show, the more underrated Jerry is of all of the leads and I think his relative lack of acting ability helps that-- the fact that no matter what horrible thing he's about to do or coerced George into doing, the fact that Seinfeld is always just about to crack up makes everything funnier. Imagine how dark Seinfeld would be if Jerry actually seemed bothered by things.
