Guest Benedict Cumberbatch Posted March 19, 2010 Report Share Posted March 19, 2010 I'll never understand why UK audiences didn't eat this show up like they did friends, fresh prince, etc. it's perfect 6pm eating your tea, and not watching the news, tv. I'm watching it on tv, it's on everyday twice and most of the time its still not an episode I've seen before. In the UK I believe it did air but very late at night maybe 1am.

SR4 Posted March 19, 2010 Report Share Posted March 19, 2010 you can parodize Jerry's nasally annoying voice, or the predictability towards the end of the series, but there is no doubt, anyone that knows anything about comedy knows that Seinfeld is funny.

SR4 Posted March 19, 2010 Report Share Posted March 19, 2010 (edited) i mean, over half of the episodes are absolute classics. The Chinese Restaurant, the one with the oil bladder, Kramer selling used suits, The Bro, Jerry's parents moving, any episode dealing with George and Susan, etc etc could go on and on and on i think in retrospect its easy for people to poo-poo it without realizing how insanely popular and arguably revolutionary it was in the sitcom world.

Boxing Day Posted March 19, 2010 Report Share Posted March 19, 2010 (edited) If you watch 2 episodes, you don't need to watch the whole series , because EVERY FUCKING EPISODE IS THE SAME. "Jerry and George have pointless chat -In cafe or Jerry's apartment" "Kramer enter Jerry's apartment in a hilarious way , and tells the gang about some weird shit he is doing" "Helaine enters , and bitches about everything going on in her life" "Jerry fucks , then for some stupid reason breaks up with the girl after just 1 week of going out" "George Screams and/or gets very angry" "George complains about his parents" -- End Episode -- Repeat for 180 episodes Edited March 19, 2010 by Boxing Day Thanks Haha Confused Sad Facepalm Burger Farnsworth Big Brain Like × Quote Hide Boxing Day's signature Hide all signatures I HOPE THIS MATCH NEVER ENDS - Link to comment https://forum.watmm.com/topic/54492-seinfeld/#findComment-1274240 Share on other sites More sharing options...

awepittance Posted March 19, 2010 Report Share Posted March 19, 2010 (edited) my mom and i were just talking about the surprisingly dirty (for the time) episode about Elaine complaining to Jerry that her boyfriend won't do 'other things' and it was never directly referenced but she wanted her pussy eaten and her BF wouldn't do it and it became like a topic of debate among the characters. it was like kind of our family show when i was still living at home, wed watch it practically every time it was on together Edited March 19, 2010 by Awepittance Thanks Haha Confused Sad Facepalm Burger Farnsworth Big Brain Like × Quote Hide awepittance's signature Hide all signatures Link to comment https://forum.watmm.com/topic/54492-seinfeld/#findComment-1274254 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Blir Posted March 19, 2010 Report Share Posted March 19, 2010 I'm working my way through Seinfeld, on series 4 now. I really like it! It's not side splitting but there are some seriously funny moments. The bit where Jerry puts the Pez dispenser on Elaines lap while watching the classical pianist had me in hysterics! Plus, I have a bit of a thing for Julia Louis Dreyfus "STELLLAAAAA!!"

FUCK That's the worst thing i've ever eaten. The flesh simply doesn't cleave to the bones. Battery ferming. And then, foie gras is banned from NY state, because it's considered as ill-treat. IT'S NOT. KFC is tourist ill-treat. YOU POISONERS! Two hours after being to KFC, i stopped in a amsih little town barf all that KFC shit out. Nice work!

Guest Conor74 Posted March 20, 2010 Report Share Posted March 20, 2010 Genius. Think the bubble boy, the chicken roaster and the jimmy were the best...Gerry, the best. Think the only other us sitcom that came close to that level was arrested development. George surely has to be the greatest comedy character ever, and anyone who complains about a formula must at least accept that the idea of basing a show on characters with no discernibly attractive qualities who do nothing and learn no lessons at all was brave. It worked for me. Quote Link to comment https://forum.watmm.com/topic/54492-seinfeld/#findComment-1274564 Share on other sites More sharing options...
