I love when he talks about George in the third person. haljordan posted:"Before we go any further, I just want to point out how disturbing it is that you equate biting into a large block of cheese with some kind of bachelor paradise." George: (inhales deeply) I tell you, Jerry, I'm feeling something. Something I haven't felt in a long time. Jerry: Pride? George: No. Autonomy, complete and total autonomy. Jerry: Well, you're your own boss now. George: I wanna go to a tractor pull. Jerry: Go ahead. George: I am staying out all night! Jerry: Who's stopping you? George: I wanna bite into a big hunk of cheese, just bite into it like it's an apple. Jerry: ...Whatever. One of my favorite/random lines was, "Whoa, that's a lot of potatoes!" Am I forgetting the episode where they explain the potato man? http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wcFZIj96LwY

AKA Driver posted:This episode fires on all cylinders for me. Kramer driving past E, Jerry dealing with Elaine and Puddy (Hey, Koko. That monkey's alright. High Five,), and the candy lineup. It really is a great episode and I love how in his description to Puddy, George includes that the guy is a liar. And everything else is funny too. JERRY: (Threatening tone) So, listen, Puddy. When we first started this deal, I thought things were gonna be different. Now, if you want to play hard ball, I got my friend, George, here, and he can play pretty hard.. ball. George, vein it up. GEORGE: Alright, Puddy, listen, and listen good: I need to know the name of that mechanic that walks around here. Big guy, a liar. Short name. Sam? Moe? Sol?! JERRY: George! Can we focus on the car, here? JERRY: (Pleading) George, could you help me, please? GEORGE: (Standing up) Yes. This is wrong! JERRY: Sing it, sister! GEORGE: Just because a candy bar fails to fall from its perch..! JERRY: Uhhh.. GEORGE: ..does not imply transfer of ownership. Moe, Sol, or… Lem is not gonna get away with this! Also, his solution: GEORGE: All I want is my seventy-five cents back, an apology, and for him to be fired!

kaworu posted:One thing I can't help but notice in all these clips is the laugh track, it's just so unbelievable awful. It's honestly shocking how used to those I was on basically every single comedy show in the '90s, while now they are (blessedly) very rare. Really distracting when it almost overwhelms the dialogue to the point where you can barely hear it. I think there is a lot more genuine laughter than laugh track. On the "Seinfeld: Extras" thing they talked about how they set up bleachers outside during "The Parking Space" to get genuine audience reaction. I'm also reminded of Baba Booey saying he was in the audience for "The Junior Mint" but I don't think he commented on a laugh track. Obviously it's there sometimes, but not to the point that it bothers me. Somewhat related: If anyone can find the clip where George is trying to get a death certificate at the funeral in "The Implant," it's the most clear version of Jerry laughing behind the camera I have ever heard. Here's the dialog so if that episode comes on, listen for it. FATHER JESSUP: This is my third wake this month. It never gets any easier. GEORGE (loading up his plate with sandwiches): Well, losing a loved is, uh...I mean, forget about it. <Starts wolfing down the sandwiches.> FATHER JESSUP: You seem to be of great comfort to Betsy, we're very appreciative. GEORGE: Oh - comfort, schmomfort. Listen, Father, can I ask you a question? In a terrible time like this...who would I get the death certificate from?

Ok, let's debate it here. Who was right in "The Parking Space?" http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=c0v42Gz5EH4 Debate for George: He was parallel parking. Debate for Mike: George was taking too long, and Mike started parking first. Here's the conversation: quote:Elaine (pointing backwards): Oh George, there's a space right there! My problem is that the space is huge, and parallel parking isn't even necessary. Elaine is the one who notices the spot, so in my mind George would have missed it anyway. George gives a little speech before he pulls into the spot so he's taking longer than necessary. Now, if the other guy came up on George, fully aware that George was backing up, then I side with George. Larry says George is right but going from what he said earlier, I think he only says that to cause further debate. I dunno, what do you guys think?

neoboman posted:I would say the backwards episode is up there (or down there). That episode had one of my favorite George/Jerry moments. GEORGE: Not me! Him! His fault! He betrayed me! JERRY: (Pleading) George, I'm sorry.. GEORGE: You can stuff your sorries in a sack, Mister! JERRY: I don't know what that means. Also, when George is pissed and walks up to Jerry during the flight. GEORGE: Hello, friend. Enjoying the flight? JERRY: Coach to India - The only way to go. GEORGE: Good one. Very funny. You're very funny, Jerry. That's what I always tell people. (Yelling out) Jerry Seinfeld's a funny guy! JERRY: You all right? GEORGE: Of course I'm all right. I'm here with my girl. Nina. And what better way to pass the time than gabbing with my best friend.. with whom there are no secrets. (Flashes two intertwined fingers) Like this. Since the fourth grade. JERRY: Hey, didn't I beat you up in the fourth grade? GEORGE: Funny guy! (Points to Jerry) Right here!

Stuntman Mike posted:The Serenity Now episode is on now. Beyond that bit, I'd forgotten all about Jerry's subplot. I love what makes Jerry snap out of it. George: So, that's it. All of my darkest fears, and everything I'm capable of. That's me. Jerry: Yikes. Well, good luck with aaaall that.

Stuntman Mike posted:Fair enough, but I have heard that the guy's a jerk in real life. Maybe for him it comes with the territory of being extremely rich. Where did you hear that? Do you have any examples? I'm sure everyone has heard that some random celebrity is a jerk. I'm not saying you're wrong, unless you just heard it from a friend.

The only heartfelt ending I can remember was at the end of "The Trip II." Kramer says he staying in L.A. and it's a bummer but then at the end he walks into Jerry's apartment and Jerry lights up because he's so happy to have him back.

Can anyone find me the clip where Elaine walks in with her comic of a Pig at a Complaint Department? Where Jerry and Kramer give their own ideas. I can't seem to find it on youtube. My girlfriend tells the worst jokes and I'm always reminded of Jerry saying, "I get it" and she shoots back with, "DO YOU?!" Edit- Nevermind: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bY-h3spBAgI

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?
