The opening monologues stopped at like Season 3 or 4. "If you’re a leader, you lead the way. Not just on the easy ones; you take the tough ones too…” – MAJ Richard D. Winters (1918-2011), E Company, 2nd Battalion, 506th Parachute Infantry Regiment, 101st Airborne "Woe to those who call evil good, and good evil... Therefore, as tongues of fire lick up straw and as dry grass sinks down in the flames, so their roots will decay and their flowers blow away like dust; for they have rejected the law of the Lord Almighty and spurned the word of the Holy One of Israel." - Isaiah 5:20,24 | |||

Same here. I never cared for the guy's stand up. I just don't find him funny at all. The show, on the other hand, is one of my favorites. ________________________________________________________ "Great danger lies in the notion that we can reason with evil." Doug Patton. | |||

Yes, nearly every day something will happen that reminds me of a Seinfeld episode. Year V | |||

So many times I've looked at broccoli and said "Vile Weed!" From my favorite episode, and I really like broccoli. I have most of them recorded on VHS w/ time references and descriptions written diligently in a notebook somewhere, probably to be never watched again as no players are hooked up (or maybe can even be hooked up). | |||

That was me. I instantly thought of that scene when the Ukranian issue started. That entire episode is hilarious. If you know everything that led up to the scene on the subway makes it even funnier. I hesitated posting it in that thread because some serious discussion was going on. It never got commented on so it's nice someone got a kick out of it. A friend of mine and myself often get into quoting Seinfeldisism's as we are both huge fans. A third friend who never watched a episode just gets pissed because he has no idea what we are going on about. "Fixed fortifications are monuments to mans stupidity" - George S. Patton | |||

It was hilarious! That made me wonder if the series was worth watching. Now having seen this thread I am thinking it is worth trying out. | Member |
My sixteen year old daughter and I have been watching it and saw the “Ukranian” episode a couple nights ago. That was just so eerie. My daughter commented that Jerry talks to everyone like they’re an idiot. I said, you know, I think you’re right, I never really thought about that when it was originally aired. The slapstick comedy of Michael Richards as Kramer is the funniest on television of all time, IMO. | |||

That's half the point, these are four of the most horrible people you could ever possibly meet.    | |||

I have said to my wife many times, I would never want these people to be my friends. They are horrible people. But the show is still funny.  | |||

[/QUOTE]The opening monologues stopped at like Season 3 or 4.[/QUOTE] Just watched an episode in season 5 (the manzier) and he still did the opening monologue. Haven't seen one that didn't include the opening stand up. Maybe there's some playback channels that cut that part out. I watched on Amazon Prime. Men fight for liberty and win it with hard knocks.

On rare occasions I'll see a monologue or even a bit in the body of the show that I know I haven't seen before. I think there must be some editing of the show, maybe on a local basis. Who knows how long any individual show might be available but yeah, each episode is not chiseled in granite. Set the controls for the heart of the Sun. | |||

Supposedly it’s Bobcat Goldthwiat or however you spell it. A long time ago Bobcat talked a lot of shit about Seinfeld’s comedy sucking and even more so tried to make a big deal out of Jerry’s penchant for dating 16-17 year olds for a long time (in states where it was legal). Even though Bobcat dated women in the same age range around the same time. That’s what the internet said anyway lol | |||

I was in college when this was one. Funny then and hilarious now on repeats If you think it’s funny check out “Curb your enthusiasm” with Larry David on HBO. He was Seinfeld’s comedy writing partner and the Costanza character is loosely based on Larry David. Plus is HBO so it can be a bit raunchier. The quotes. I still say seinfeldisms all the time. And when somebody gets it they get it and it’s like the secret club. Kinda glad they went out on top and didn’t stick around for the money and then have quality suffer as sometimes happens with a great show | |||

The actual Jerry is like that, too. He does think most people are idiots, and he isn't wrong. The fish is mute, expressionless. The fish doesn't think because the fish knows everything. | |||

If you give your money to Netflix, here's what you're supporting Barack and Michelle Obama sign film, series production agreement with Netflix And that's just for starters. Do you support the Second Amendment? Love your country? Believe in the Constitution and the rule of law? Do you oppose globalism and our society's ignorant, privileged elites? Well Netflix doesn't ____________________________________________________ "I am your retribution." - Donald Trump, speech at CPAC, March 4, 2023 | |||
