Sheen Sheen posted:My personal favorite was seeing a young Patton Oswalt as a video store clerk in the episode where George joins a book club and tries to watch the movie versions of books instead of reading the actual books. I love when George asks for the information of the people who rented Breakfast at Tiffany's and Patton goes, "Oh sorry, I can't do that," in like this completely monotone voice.

Kramer: Can't forget my briefcase. Jerry: Whatcha got in there? Kramer: Crackers.

So in the UK Sienfeld wasn't big, Friends was the one that hit it big over here instead. I just started watching it and while it took about 6 episodes to get over how it has aged a bit looks wise and with no mobile phones I think it's great! I say that as someone who doesn't like Curb Your Enthusiasim because I don't like awkward humour (the Office either). Should I be trying to avoid spoilers, I know Jerry goes to jail in the last episode because of the Oz thread but I cannot even imagine how. I'll probably watch the reunion CYE episode on it's own when I'm done or is that not adviseable?

There's really nothing to "spoil". There are maybe a half dozen plot threads that are ever revisited, and they basically amount to "an old man peed on a couch".

Unless you're like 16 years old and get freaked out by bad fashion and an over-reliance on phone booths. Kernel Monsoon fucked around with this message at 13:28 on Jun 2, 2011 |

It's not really one big storyline that can be "ruined" for you. It's typically just a bunch of one-off stories where call-backs and continuity are only used if it enhances how funny the episode is. The CYE reunion episodes are hilarious. You'll like them if only to see the actors all together again.

George's engagement to Susan in season 7 and whichever season it is where they are working on the sitcom pilot both have ongoing, season-long story arcs. Every episode still works on its own though. The storylines aren't THAT important.

I only saw Seinfeld when I moved to Australia around the early 2000s, where they were still showing it daily at dinner-time. On the bright side, the fact that not everybody loves Seinfeld here means that I managed to snag (stupidly expensive) tickets to his show at the 02 on friday with just a few days to go.

JERRY: What do you need salsa for? GEORGE: Salsa is now the number one condiment in America. JERRY: You know why? Because people like to say "salsa." "Excuse me, do you have salsa?" "We need more salsa." "Where is the salsa? No salsa?" GEORGE: You know it must be impossible for a Spanish person to order seltzer and not get salsa. (Angry) "I wanted seltzer, not salsa." JERRY: "Don't you know the difference between seltzer and salsa?? You have the seltezer after the salsa!" GEORGE: See, this should be a show. This is the show. This is the show.

Rusty Shackelford posted:This is the show. What amused (and infuriated) me was that during Seinfeld's height of popularity, other shows tried to mimic this easy back and forth empty banter that real life people engage in - but the characters they used were just empty vessels and instead of sounding like regular back and forth, it came across as trying waaaaay too hard to be casual interaction. Shows like "It's Like, You Know" and Mad About You were really bad at this.

Ironically, I found that little back and forth about salsa they had to be one of the few times where the dialogue DIDN'T feel natural.

Even so, that one interaction was still a million times better than the forced "We should do this!" "We should do this?" "Yeah!" "Why?" "It's a... it's a thing!" "It's a thing!" "Yeah! We should do this thing because... it's a thing!" "So you're saying we should do this thing because it's a thing? That's you're reasoning for doing this thing?" "Yeah.... it's a thing!" "What are you two talking about?" "IT'S A THING!" interaction that made up 99% of other terrible shows of the time.

Or anytime one of these vague conversation trying to get around the censors cropped up: "Welp, it happened." "What happened?" "......it." "Noooo...not it?!" "IT JERRY. IT!!" "BUt that means...." "YUP!" "And you don't..." "NU-UH!" But anyways, I had my absolute MIND blow the other day watching an episode. Has anyone ever pointed out that the entire geometry of Jerry's apt. makes no sense at all? The main door, the kitchen is slanted backwards about 30 degrees, yet every exterior hallway shot, the hall is straight. The hallway would have to bend to go around the kitchen. 20 years of watching and I just noticed that.
