Seinfeld was 90s urban DINK wear. The 80s yuppies who hadn't gone to the 'burbs yet. Source: was adopted by yuppies who tried very hard to keep that dress style up into the late 90s despite moving to the 'burbs

BrainDance posted:The Seinfeld look I think that most people would remember that would stick out is probably the puffy shirt. Though, that's one of those situations where one minor character trait becomes iconic even though it only makes up a very small part of the character (literally just the episode "The Puffy Shirt.") nah, like all of his button up shirts were huge and billowing tucked in to heinous jeans. plus the curly mullet or whatever the hell that is  God he's annoying

Seinfeld ages out of being watchable (for me) the minute you learn he was dating a teenager for part of the run.

Jerry might be a pedo creep and Kramer a racist grump but the actual sitcom holds up incredibly well for the time, both in terms of its humor and its politics. It definitely suffers from 90s foreigner stereotypes but they're never the joke. The fat jokes about Newman are by far the most egregious thing, but they also literally get their comeuppance in the end directly due to their fatphobia. No one will ever make a four camera sitcom that good ever again. Jason Alexander and Julia Louis-Dreyfus are loving legends.

been reading about Lawrence Tierney's time on set for Seinfeld as Elaine's dad, The Simpsons as the Try-and-Save security guy, and Reservoir Dogs as the boss. I would say that guy didn't age well, but turns out he was a batshit crazy abusive drunk for his entire career. He tried to steal a knife from Jerry's apartment set, got mad when the audience laughed at his lines, and Larry David would threaten the cast and crew to bring him back for another episode because everyone was terrified of him. He got into a fistfight with Tarantino, hated Michael Madsen for no reason, and bullied Chris Penn into accepting lawn furniture he didn't need while stealing random poo poo off of restaurant tables. The Simpsons writers were so afraid of him they would hide under their desks when he was around, and the driver who took him in refused to take him back home. Basically his grumpy old crazy guy roles were not an act.

Pretty much a 40's version of Tom Sizemore.

Push El Burrito posted:Elaine was my first celebrity crush. Well her and Lion-O. I feel like when the show was out I thought Elaine was cute, but not terribly remarkable. Rewatching it now though and she looks absolutely amazing. It also seems like that's a consensus among people nowadays when it wasn't in the 90s. Is that just confirmation bias or have styles changed to better suit her, or does it just have something to do with watching it at a formative age?

I think it's just a thing with characters who were written to be kind of annoying but were played by actors who were clearly very attractive people. See also Fran Drescher in The Nanny

Younger Me didn't think much of her either, but rewatching clips recently have made me realize that Younger Me was an idiot.

JLD is still hot and Elaine’s outfits are not flattering. I think a lot of people watched Veep and were like “wait a second…did she always look this good?”

muscles like this! posted:Also on The Simpsons he really didn't understand the phone call joke and they had to trick him to do it the way they wanted. Yeah, he straight up refused to say the lines because the joke (it sounds from Bart's end like he's having a conversation with Marge but he's just leaving a voicemail) didn't make sense to him. They ended up just writing the other half of what that conversation would have been and told him they changed it. I'm not sure how they got him to say "they weren't home."

We were watching this old, if the time video about Douglas Adams and I was staggered when I looked up his age at the time this was filmed. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qa2vDmgiEaM  He was 33! Is it me or does he like at least 10 years older than that....why did everyone from the eighties look so much older?

https://twitter.com/RightWingWatch/status/1643986134320685056?s=20 lots to chew on here, but what's especially funny about this is that girl boss peach isn't remotely a new thing. she was a playable character in smb2, had her own title with super princess peach, and repeatedly saved the mario bros. in every single one of the 90s cartoons.
