Coffee And Pie posted:So, I was flipping through my English textbook today, and I discovered a chapter about Seinfeld, all about it, including a transcript of The Pitch, which is followed by critical thinking questions, like "Discuss Kramer's assertion that people "want to watch freaks." Do you think this line could be used to sum up accurately audience responses to Seinfeld?" 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.

Mr. Flunchy posted:I just watched a VHS tape of the 1955 Israeli film 'Hill 24 Doesn't Answer'. After the film had finished there was about 15 seconds of some Israeli advert that was clearly a Seinfeld parody. So I tried to look it up - couldn't find it, but did find this: Hey, you found Jimmy Kimmel's first television appearance! Really, though, they did a pretty great job of capturing every character's voice...except Newman. The hell was that. Arafat as Steinbrenner was pretty drat spot-on as well, with the sitcom rambling.

DrBouvenstein posted:Edit: Make sure to not only click on each number, one for each burger, but click on "the cheese" area for each burger to hear him talk about the type of cheese used in said burger... "Camembert. I named my first-born child after a slice of Camembert. His name's 'Camembert.' CAMEMBERT!" So odd that out of all the Seinfeld alumni, the guy who played a recurring minor character that could best be described as "Low key" is now arguably the most high profile. He's a lead on Rules of Engagement, does voice work all over the place including a supporting role on one of television's biggest shows, spokesman for multiple products and companies...

myron_cope posted:Not a good look for George I'd go ahead and say that from its beginning until whenever Elaine started wearing her hair down, "Not a good look for _____" could be applicable for anybody on the show. Seinfeld's humor and characters still hold up, but not that early 90's wardrobe.

haljordan posted:What kind of company would hire NEWMAN to conduct highly complicated and dangerous espionage (that requires a lot of fast movement)? DODGSON! WE GOT DODGSON HERE! Seasons 8 and 9 are practically from a different show, but they were still the best thing on TV at the time. The jokes played much broader, faster and looser yet still maintained the characters and relationships the audience recognized - it was almost a live-action Simpsons, and I don't mean that in a negative way. Perhaps I'm biased because those were the seasons I was watching live, but many of those episodes are among my favorites.

CaptainHollywood posted:Am I the only one who thinks/worried It's Always Sunny may end a similar way? There was an interview with Rob McElhenney promoting the most recent season where he addressed where the show will likely end up. quote:AV Club: One or more of them will probably end up dead at some point? So yes, it sounds like it will end up mirroring Seinfeld's finale - those selfish jerks finally get their comeuppance - just in a more definitive and nihilistic way.
