I'm at the stage where I relate everything back to seinfeld as i go about my daily life. Today at work I heard someone outside my office call out to our maintenance guy named Ken and all I hear is "Kenny.... Kenny!" so I had a chuckle. Then later in the day one of the HR girls came round and asked for some cash for a farewell gift for a colleague - after she left, the guy I share my office with said "birthdays gifts, farewell gifts - I feel like I spend half my life buying gifts, it never ends!"
I guess that's why I enjoy it so much, it's just so relatable in every aspect of life :)

Can't you die with a little dignity?

No, I can't. I want to be the one person who doesn't die with dignity! I lived my whole life in shame why should I die with dignity??

The Label Maker.


[Jerry and George are at their booth in the coffee shop.]

JERRY: Newman. He's going with Newman.

GEORGE: How does Tim Whatley even know Newman?

JERRY: Newman's his mailman.

GEORGE: Who goes to the Super Bowl with their mailman?!

JERRY: Who goes *anywhere* with Newman?!

GEORGE: Well, he's merry.

JERRY: He is merry, I'll give him that. (notices a cactus on the table) What's this plant for?

GEORGE: I had a little tiff with Bonnie about the roommate.

JERRY: Oh, well the cactus will smooth things over.

(Elaine enters.)

ELAINE: Hey, guess what? I'm going to the Super Bowl with Tim Whatley.

JERRY: What?

ELAINE: We went out for coffee last night and he offered me a ticket.

JERRY: What about the label maker?

ELAINE: Ah, well.

JERRY: Wait a minute, that's my ticket! You didn't even want to go.

ELAINE: It was totally out of the blue. We went upstairs to his apartment, you know, to look for the label maker.

JERRY: So, how did you get up there? Did you say you had to use the bathroom?

ELAINE: No.

JERRY: Then how'd you get up there?

ELAINE: I said, "Do you wanna go upstairs?"

GEORGE: And there's you ticket.

ELAINE: What?

JERRY: That's why you're going to the Super Bowl.

ELAINE: Why?

JERRY: You go out with a guy one time, you ask him to go upstairs like you're Mae West? Of course he's gonna try and get you alone for the weekend.

ELAINE: You mean just because I asked him to go upstairs, he thinks he's going downtown?

JERRY: Obviously.

ELAINE: You're crazy.

GEORGE: Well, what happened when you got upstairs?

ELAINE: As soon as we walked in, he got a call from one of his patients with an impacted molar or something so he had to leave. I didn't even get a chance to look for the label maker.

JERRY: Yeah, well I don't trust this guy. I think he regifted, he degifted, and now he's using an upstairs invite as a springboard to a Super Bowl sex romp!

Was on one of my nerdy Seinfeld rants at work the other day when something topical come up (was Jackie - "who told you to put the balm on? I didn't tell you to put the balm on...."), when a Gen Y lad dared to say "it really hasn't aged that well has it?" about the greatest TV show made.

The look of disbelief on my face!!

It's aged incredibly well because it taps into universal ideas and 'issues.' I was born in the middle of the 90s and most people could remember "that episode when..."

Festivus time is almost here, I watched the episode far too early last year (wound up watching it almost as many times as I have watched the 2014 AFL grand final.... and I am nearly at the 100th viewing!) so I am holding back until the last few days before christmas.

I find tinsel distracting...
 
The Contest, where George gets caught masturbating by his mum, and the group holds a contest to see who can hold out the longest.

Marathoned the last 4 seasons and reckon that was the best episode so far.
 
Honestly, I've watched so much I'm reading everything in either George, Jerry or Kramer's voice.

They interchange as I'm reading a sentence.

I'm not even reading what I'm writing in my own voice right now.

Help.

Hate it when you go to watch it on tvhits and it's one of those stupid clip-show episodes.

Yes...they are disappointing moments indeed.

You sigh and flick over to something else rather than watch 10 sec clips...they're no good..no good at all.
 
The Face Painter was just on...one of my all time favourite bits is Puddy after the Devils game screaming...DEVILS! ...the old priest's response always cracks me up.

The car stops just short of hitting Puddy. There's an old priest in the
passenger seat.

Puddy (pounding the hood): Hey, what are you doing?! Watch where you're
driving, man! (He approaches the passenger side window)

Don't mess with the Devils, buddy. We're number one, we beat anybody! We're the Devils! The
Devils!! Haaaa!!!

Puddy runs away, leaving the old priest shaken.

Father Hernandez: El Diablo! Dios mio! El Diablo!!



And the monkey spitting water in Kramer's face towards the end. Great episode that:thumbsu:
