Society & Culture Seinfeld

[Hurls_18]

Jerry: You know there is always the possibility, that she called an audible.
George: What do you mean?
Jerry: Well she got up to the line of scrimmage, didn’t like the looks of the defense and changed the play.
George: I think things were going ok. We were having a nice conversation.
Jerry: Uh huh.
George: I mentioned how I liked horse manure.
Jerry: You did?
George: Yeah.
Jerry: Yeah. You said you liked horse manure.
George: Yeah. You know, about how when you break it down, it’s really a very positive thing. you know, you have a “nure,” with a “ma” in front of it. MA-NURE. It’s not bad.
Jerry: And it was around this point that she mentioned the boyfriend?
George: Yeah. (Jerry nodding) … Oh, you think because of what I said about the manure. I wa, wa, was just saying how it takes a negative thing, and puts it on a positive spin on it.
Jerry: I’m just saying there’s a chance she may not have been enamored with your thoughts and feelings on manure.

Jerry is classic in this scene.

Gwen: It's not you, it's me.
George: You're giving me the "it's not you, it's me" routine? I invented "it's not you, it's me". Nobody tells me it's them not me, if it's anybody it's me.
Gwen: All right, George, it's you.
George: You're *damn* right it's me.

Jerry: Newman, you wouldn't eat broccoli if it were deep fried in chocolate sauce

Jerry: The answering machine is like a relationship barometer.
George: What is a barometer?
Kramer: It's pronounced thermometer.

****ing lol

Kramer: "Isn't there like a statue of limitations on that?"
Jerry: "Statute."
Kramer: "What?"
Jerry: "Statute of limitations. It's not a statue."
Kramer: "No, it's statue."
Jerry: "Fine, it's a sculpture of limitations."
Kramer: Elaine.... Is it statue, or statute of limitations?"
Elaine: "Statute."
Kramer: "Oh I really think you're wrong!"


Gold.

Also the rest of the clip is pretty good too.

Was watching this episode before on foxtel, classic. From the same episode:

[youtube]05wJaKtciH0[/youtube]

George: I'm sorry. I can't live knowing Ted Danson makes that much more than me. Who is he?
Jerry: He's somebody.
George: What about me?
Jerry: You're nobody.
George: Why him? Why not me?
Jerry: He's good, you're not.
George: I'm better than him.
Jerry: You're worse, much much worse. (crouches in booth) That's Davola!

Kramer telling a story of his to Elaine for Peterman's autobiography.

KRAMER: So I'm waiting for the subway, It's not coming, so I decided to hoof it through the tunnel.
ELAINE: Alright, well, now that's something..
KRAMER: Well, I don't know if I lost track of time - or what, but the next think I knew..
ELAINE: A train is bearing down on you?!
KRAMER: No - I slipped - and fell in the mud. Ruining the very pants I was about to return.
ELAINE: ...I don't understand.. you were wearing the pants you were returning?
KRAMER: Well, I guess I was
ELAINE: .. So what were you gonna wear on the way back?
KRAMER: Elaine, are you listening?! I didn't even get there!

Love the follow up to that joke when Elaine is being criticised for her adaptation of Kramer's story:

ELAINE: Oh, what didn't you like about the first chapter?
PETERMAN: Well, it started out nicely: "I'm returning some pants." A very identifiable problem... "I set of down a train tunnel."... But that's where the story takes a most unappealing turn.
ELAINE: Oh, no, no! That's where it gets interesting! Don't you see? The - the train is bearing down on you, you - you dive into a side tunnel - and you run into a whole band of underground tunnel dwellers!
PETERMAN: It just seems so cliched, and obvious. It's not interesting writing.
ELAINE: Yeah... yeah. I know. Um.. how about if, instead of.. diving from the train, you... uh, you, I don't know, you slip and, and fall in some mud, and... ruin your pants?
PETERMAN: The very pants I was returning. That's perfect irony! Elaine, that is interesting writing!

Also, this rarely happens, but it has happened before, but everytime I hear that 'Morning Train' or '9 to 5' song, I am powerless to stop myself from hysterically laughing. The two key reasons are:

Primarily for George though.

George: I can't believe you're dating someone called Lois!
Jerry: I know. Finally!

George: My whole life I've never made a great entrance.

Jerry: You've made some fine exits.

"You have no idea what my people have been through."
"The Jews?"
"No, the dentists. Did you know we have the highest suicide rate of any profession?"
"Is that why it's so hard to get an appointment?"

I was voted "person most likely to end up as George Costanza" wayyyyy back in 1998. The metamorphosis is almost complete, granted i still need to have a long bout of unemployment, bald and start wearing glasses.

But my personality is almost bang on!

Doesn't that make you a socially ******ed, pathetic loser?

 

[hayes]

Doesn't that make you a socially ******ed, pathetic loser?

Not to mention paranoid and cheap?

Use this line all the time. It's good when people get it.

Very paranoid... i was also told that i am "insecure" about myself (particularly in regards to entering in relationships with women, not sure how they came to that conclusion ), not quite much socially "******ed".... but i can turn easy situations into very awkward one's .

Its hard to believe that bryan cranston (we all know him as walter white- heisenberg these days) was whatley, malcolm's dad and other comedic roles?

 

[Stratton_Gun]

Best show ever because it's real like situations and George (Up until Season 7) is the best TV character of all time. Favourite episodes are the contest and the hamptons

P.S. Friends is rubbish. Most of it isn't even mildly funny
