WHO ABUSED HIM. WHO ABUSED THE BOY.
Not surprisingly we have Jerry 20 years later doing his best to squander his considerable reserve of public goodwill and inadvertently shifting more post-mortem credit for all the brilliance of Seinfeld to Larry David who is still actively producing radical comedy in the year of our lord 2010.

I always assumed Jerry is exactly the same in real life as he is on the show.

What has Seinfeld done lately to sully his reputation apart from make a mediocre kids movie and some half-joking remarks about Lady Gaga?

Regarding the studio audience, just try to imagine Kramer sliding in and slapping his money on the counter in "The Contest" without laughter. Or George telling his story with the beached whale. It just wouldn't be the same.

There's nothing wrong with sitcoms that are filmed in front of live audiences. I don't see how the laughing could be considered detrimental to the quality of the show in any way.

Fuctionally, it's the same thing.
Also I always liked hearing some woman in the audience say "Oh my god!" when the bum was wearing the puffy shirt at the end of that episode.

drat, watching "The Switch" and then "The Labelmaker", in sequence, is one hilarious experience. The whole "orgy guy" discourse and George's face when he realizes what he had gotten into are priceless.

Can someone help me remember the start of this quote? I want to say one of Jerry's girlfriends asked him if he ever did XYZ, or wanted to do it, and he responds:

"No...because it's so stupid."

I just love his simple and dead-sure-of-himself delivery, but I can't remember what is so stupid.

Didn't he say something similar about... oh yeah, Elaine mentions a miniatures museum and Jerry says something like, "Everything's so small... and stupid."

Which reminds me of him talking about his parents seeming smaller as he grows up, and how now he can stomp around their house holding them in his hands asking,"Why was I ever intimidated by you?"

That and when his girlfriend gets him the big-brimmed Amish hat before they go to Pennsylvania-Dutch country:

"Yeah... why don't you put this in the car so that I don't accidentally toss it in that dumpster over there." and she just happily walks off camera like he didn't say anything.

She has a taint! I can't see it, but I know it's there. Maybe if I could shrink myself down like in Fantastic Voyage and get inside a microscopic submarine I could be sure. Although if there was something there it might be pretty scary.. of course I would have that laser..

Jerry: She had man hands.

Elaine: ...Man hands?

Jerry: The hands of a man. It's like a creature out of Greek Mythology, I mean, she was like part woman, part horrible beast.

Elaine: Would you prefer it if she had no hands at all?

Jerry: Would she have hooks?

Elaine: Do hooks make it more attractive, Jerry?

Jerry: Kinda cool lookin'..

For the life of me I thought you were making this up and was about to post and say "huh?" Then I googled and aha now I remember.

I was thinking taint as in (one's) "'tain't." I knew there was no way in hell they'd let that air.

This highlights my problem with Jerry Seinfeld's humour. Doesn't matter what topic, Jerry thinks it's stupid. Dancing is a fun thing to do. In that book of his, he makes fun of people who work out, because they're working out so they can be in shape for the next workout. Uh no... they're working out so they can stay in shape.
Like, he misses the point on everything, and then says it's stupid. Drives me nuts.
