It's so weird when I hear someone say they've never seen an episode of Seinfeld. No one at my university knows about it. No one. Canada is so lame.

Of course, the upside of that is that every time I make a Seinfeld joke, people think I came up with it myself. It's like living with cavemen and having a zippo.

That's freaking awesome.

I wouldn't say that "people want to watch freaks" explains the show's success, it would be something closer to "People want to watch themselves." Watching Seinfeld isn't like gawking and laughing at the members of a carnival sideshow, rather, it is like watching one's own reflection contorted in a funhouse mirror. Seinfeld amplifies the kinds of personality traits and behaviors that humans come across in their own day-to-day lives for comic effect. Additionally, and most importantly, the show isn't afraid to have its protagonists act on the worst possible impulses of human emotion, the kind of behavior which the average viewer rejects in the course of their life due to the constructs of the society around them. By honing in on the minutiae of human behavior and raising them to absurd levels Seinfeld makes us laugh while plumbing deeper truths of social interaction, and through its pop culture examination of the darker side of the human persona manages to resonate on a more intimate level with the viewer.

....which of course lead to Billy Mumphrey's downfall.

So we all know that the best Seinfeld episodes are ones with interwoven plot-lines, but which episodes do you think were the best at doing that?

IMO It's "The gum". Almost everything everyone does in the episode somehow comes back to bite George in the rear end, and it's amazing.

I can't find it on youtube, but my favourite Kramer entrance is when Jerry got those special rubber gloves for him, and he throws it behind him and Kramer catches it as he walks in.

Since everyone in this thread shares my taste in humor, I was hoping it might bleed over into film. Is, "The English Patient" actually any good? I've always avoided watching it based on the fact that Elaine hates it. Now I want to watch it for that same reason to see if I agree. Who was right about the movie in that episode?

I actually haven't seen the movie, so I couldn't tell you wether I liked it or if it really sucked.

I know that the four main characters are all classic, but rewatching several episodes every week I'm struck by how good the secondary characters are - not just recurring ones like Newman, J. Peterman, Jackie Chiles, etc., but nearly every single one-episode character they ever had. I can name like 30 of these guys off the top of my head that were all classic in some way. I can't think of any other show that came even close to this.

There are even classic characters that were on screen for all of ten seconds, like Saddam Hussein or the tiny old man who swam in the east river. He just sunk like a stone, didn't he!?

I'm watching The Barber and I just noticed something, probably now that I've got really good speakers. In the scene where Mr Pensky comes in, when George is drumming on the desk with pencils? At 14.14 you can hear a girl offscreen yell "Oh no!" when the Secretary pages George to tell him Pensky is on his way.

IIRC there's also a woman yelling "Oh my GOD!" when kramer reveals the golf ball in the marine biologist. Being in the live audience for Seinfeld must have been amazing.
