This thread has inspired me to watch the whole show from the beginning. I was pretty hazy on some of the earlier episodes, so it's weird to see the show being so grounded. I'm only a bit into season 2 but they still aren't completely terrible human beings, just kind of idiosyncratic. It will be interesting to see how they transition and where the tipping point is. It's also funny to see some of these threads that have run throughout all of Larry David's stuff. For example, Jerry in The Ex-Girlfriend saying "I don't return fruit. Fruit's a gamble. I know that going in". It reminded me of Larry saying apricots are "a low-yield fruit" in one of the most recent Curb episodes almost 20 years later.

Jingleheimer posted:Just imagine how different the show would be if any of the main characters were casted differently. I don't think it would be possible for anyone to pull off George as well as Jason Alexander did. You can see how Larry David would have done it on this season of Curb. Prettay, prettay bad.

I never noticed how often George is referred to as Biff from Death of a Salesman. It's pretty great.

Thenipwax posted:There's a place in Milwaukee called Soup Otzies and I thought it sounded suspiciously similar to Soup Nazis. Anyway, yeah I went in there and they have a bunch of pictures of the Soup Nazi and all that, but I don't actually think they're affiliated in any way. They have awesome soup though. I've never heard of this place! Where is it?

El Negocio posted:We had a funny guy with us in Korea. A tailgunner. They blew his brains out all over the Pacific. There's nothing funny about that. Jerry's response to George saying they should tell him they're afraid and leave is great. "He'll clunk our heads together like Moe!"

Relayer posted:I think I've decided my overall favorite George plotline is the episode where he has to prove to Dina that he isn't going insane. It's so amazing how the circumstances of other plotlines in the show all tie together to make him seem even more crazy every time she's around. My favorite part is when she accuses him of taking pleasure in the suffering of others and he just yells "All my friends do it!"

Loving Life Partner posted:One of the things I respect about the series is that they truly never had a serious moment, a "very special episode" or even much in the way of real drama. It was literally a show about the most despicable self-absorbed type of people, and they never wavered, nobody ever learned anything, I think that's why the ending was so perfect. Wasn't their motto something like "No hugs, no learning"?

Loving Life Partner posted:I never understood that little plot. Were there actually shelves at the video store for movie connoisseurs to make suggestions and stuff? I never saw anything like that in real life, maybe it was a New York thing. Absolutely, my local video place had a staff picks shelf.
