What funny things do you think would happen if Seinfeld was set in 2016? Can you imagine Jerry getting an iPad? Imagine the hi-jinks George would have with Tinder. What plotlines do you think would occur in modern day Seinfeld?

For twelve years, you have been asking: Who is John Galt? This is John Galt speaking. I am the man who loves his life. I am the man who does not sacrifice his love or his values. I am the man who has deprived you of victims and thus has destroyed your world, and if you wish to know why you are peris

Nothing but cuck jokes and I'm gay as far as the eye can see.

Honestly so many plots in Seinfeld revolved around characters not-being able to get in contact with each other or otherwise relay information that half the episodes just couldn't work in these days were everyone has cellphones and email.

Tired of overpaying for street vendor hot dogs, George invents a vest that he can strap several dogs to be carried around and eaten throughout the day but finds he needs to wear a jacket to keep them warm. Realizing he has forgotten buns, he is forced to wait in line to buy one from a vendor and causes a panic when during an argument over whether he can just buy a bun his jacket over heats and is mistaken for a suicide bomber as he rips the jacket open revealing his weenie vest and loudly cursing the vendor stand, Al Ahu's Snackbar..

They would see a fat person getting mugged, mock them in exactly the same way except now the mugger and the victim would berate them for fat shaming, the video would cause a worldwide firestorm of outrage that eventually drives Kramer to drop a cheap knockoff "Flat Screen" that is a 400lb CRT television into his apartment's hot tub to commit suicide.

Meanwhile Newman keeps liking all of Jerry's status updates and Jerry wants to know why

Jerry sleeping with a bunch of hot women and dumping them almost immediately for dumb reasons is pretty timeless, though.

one time my 7th grade science class had some abstinence advocate lady give a speech and one of her facts was that jerry had slept with a new woman once every other episode, or 12 women a year

i said that was awesome and the abstinence speech lady got pissed off

People say this a lot but the times I remember that this would hold true were just minor plot points, plus they managed to keep in touch pretty well with payphones/car phones. Besides, they even use a cellphone on at least one occasion that I can remember (the bottle deposit one in the mail truck). Honestly all they'd have to really change was the props and the fashion and I think most of them could still work.

Everyone discovers Tindr and it isn't working for any of them except George. We learn at the end that he just swipes on all the women.

Jerry and George are walking the snowy streets of December when they hear a voice call out "JERRY!" and as they turn around to see Uncle Leo say "HEL-" as he is hit by a car driven by Tim Whatley who lost control of the car due having an allergic reaction from eating shellfish. Later, George realizes his parents could die any day, and begins to enjoy spending time with them and even cooks everyone dinner for Festivus, which was to be lobster but George couldn't bring himself to boil it, commenting "ugly. no hair. slow witted. bottom feeder. I just see too much of myself in him." and proceeds to cook a kosher meal that turns out to be tainted with a poisonous glue that either kills his parents or lets them sue for millions of dollars with the stipulation that George can't inherit any of as he is suspected of deliberately poisoing his family with inheritance as the motive.
