You keep choosing episodes that are in one location only 😆 She will think this is the case in every episode

[@M1cha3lP]

You have to watch The Soup Nazi!

[@imikey535]

The car not staring was a blooper. The script originally had them driving away. But the show got a junky car; and when it wouldn’t start; they realized it was a better ending. If you watch closely, you can see the cast in the car laughing.

[@MrUndersolo]

The blooper reel is fantastic for this one!

[@madmardagan2059]

Yes, and also Michael Richards, the only one to not break character when the car didn't start, ad libbed getting out of the car and looking off into the distance only to get back in and try and start it again. Richards was mad about never breaking character. Same scene when he drops/shoves the air conditioner box into the trunk of the car he really slammed his face directly into it and ad libbed another line "I think I really hurt myself Elaine" (She broke character there too)

[@TrevorSTL79]

Was it a FORD? 😆

[@GaryTongue-zn5di]

@madmardagan2059 You left out that Michael REALLY Cut his Lip on The Air conditioner from the trunk, because they offered to have a box of Styrofoam for him ,but he insisted on having an actual Air Conditioner in the box, because he wanted to work with the weight and he said bumps are good, regarding the physical comedy.

[@AbeVicious]

Gotta love when the universe helps

[@MrDevintcoleman]

Yes!!! This is a perfect example of the essence of this show. Also, there’s an actual air conditioner in that box and the car not starting at the end wasn’t scripted; it actually didn’t start and you can see some of them starting to laugh in the car.

[@TakatofanAgain]

You beat me to it!

They also gutted the sound stage including the audience's bleachers and added mirrors to add to the illusion of a larger space along with set dressing.

I can always rematch "The Limo" as well.

[@joaquimmarques4026]

How about George Vs. the laser guy?

[@planetcountryradio8622]

Michael Richards is such a method actor, when they gave him an empty box to carry, he demanded it actually have an AC unit inside to make it believable. At the end when he goes to put it in the boot/trunk and it slips and smashes against the lip of the boot, it was accidental, but perfect for Kramer's character, along with the car not starting, a brilliant accident.

[@chaddubois8164]

Not only was Seinfeld created by a whole team of geniuses but they had the comedy gods on their side as well. The car was supposed to start at the end of the episode.

[@lou7139]

I love watching these kinds of episodes of Seinfeld and being thankful that the simple problems we used to have were all solved by the all-powerful smartphone. Of course now we have a whole new set of problems to deal with 😂

[@nygener]

As someone that lived in NYC during Seinfeld my Wife and I were always wondering how people from other states got the situations and the jokes that were such a NYC experiences of living in the city and dealing with all those real-life situations that are so "New York" My then Girlfriend took me for lunch to the Soup Nazi before it was on Seinfeld, she said you have to see this guy and experience his craziness, and it was just like in the show which aired much later

[@joemasters2270]

Folks, I have a terrible confession to make... I've lost my car in a similar fashion back in the day. Except I wasn't parked in a garage - my car was dark green & parked under an amber-colored light so my green car appeared JET BLACK. I didn't recognize my own car & walked around the parking lot for 30 min. When I finally decided to look @ the LICENSE PLATES, I found my car & had to call mall security to cancel the reports of a car theft. I was super embarrassed. 🤣🤣🤣

[@jrobwoo688]

I love self contained episodes like this and The Restaurant. It’s one reason why one of my favorite comedy films is Clerks. A self contained movie about a day in the life of a convenience store clerk.

[@fergalstackstreams]

My favorite comedies of this type are the Woody's Wedding episode of Cheers, the cram session episode of Fresh Prince, and the early 90s movie Oscar.

[@hankscorpio7767]

They're called "bottle episodes"

[@markhall3254]

thanks for doing Seinfeld reactions. I'm going through a tuff time now and these vids cheer me up

[@Lefty0000]

Fun fact about the titles of the show: I believe it was Jerry who said they purposely didn't want the names of episodes to be too complex or complicated so the writers wouldn't have to waste time on "clever" ones like other shows did. Also, if no one has mentioned it already, Kramer insisted to carry a real air conditioner so it could be authentic for the show. And he actually did bust his lip when puts it in the trunk at the end.

[@latinreuben]

Fun fact...in a Seinfeld reunion, they mentioned they were dying of laughter in the car at the end bec the car not starting was not part of the storyline. If u look close enough, u can see them laughing when the car doesn't start.

[@Juan-qn3yl]

The funniest part is that in the outtakes of this episode, the car not starting was not planned.

[@dangrissom7367]

I'm getting hooked on your Seinfeld reactions. What's great about this show is that around this time, the episodes get better and better. It's gonna be fun to watch em. Thanks for taking the time to edit all these.!

[@Pianodean]

It took a few years for the show to really explode...but Jerry says it was the episode called "The Marine Biologist" that propelled it to #1...and that was an absolutely BRILLIANTLY written episode. I can't wait until you get to that one...from top to bottom is one of the greatest episodes of comedy TV of all time.

[@dennishuffstutler9820]

Michael Richards actually bloodied his mouth when he was putting the A/C in the trunk. He had them put an actually A/C in the box so it would look more real. Also, when the car wouldn't start that wasn't in the script. But it turned out so funny and even better then what was in the script. You can see Julia and Jason in the back cracking up when it wouldnt start.

[@ericjace84]

Also car related, The Handicap Spot is a good one

[@arconeagain]

The dispute over the parking spot, reverse park or go in forwards. When they damage Jerry's SAAB. The car dealership with Puddy. Kramer test driving a car. George and the GTO. George buying John Voight's car. The old bloke working on George's car. The list goes on.

[@fishjj76]

​@@arconeagainYES. I love that one. I especially love the way they don't give too many arguments to either side.

[@artistjoh]

I always use my phone to take a photo of my car with a column with both color and number. The photograph makes it easy to find the car.

[@mso4433]

There were no cell phones then, though. Even cordless household phones were a new thing.

[@artistjoh]

@@mso4433 I just checked, and the first widely sold camera phone came to market in 1999, the year after Seinfeld finished, however the the first camera with cellular service was on the market in 1994. My first camera phone was a Sony/Eriksson in 2002. Camera phones and texting were a bigger thing in other countries first, and I suppose it really wasn't until the iPhone in 2007 that they went mainstream in the US. To not have a good camera in a phone seems so fundamental to life these days, that it is now very difficult to imagine life before phones were cameras and computers in the pocket, like in that Seinfeld era.

[@carriesmith742]

Another favorite of mine. Seasons 1-6 were top for me, but it was all good. My husband celebrates "Festivus" every year! LOL!

Kramer REALLY hurt himself when he put the box in the trunk. Also, the car not starting at the end of the episode was not planned. It was supposed to show them driving off at the end. Sometimes things are just meant to be. Fate wrote the ending to this one. 🙂

[@x_trio_3_po333]

One day I had to make a delivery to a large city Hospital (no not that kind of delivery!). This particular Hospital had two large multi-level parking garages which I was not initially aware of. One for visitors to the Emergency dept, the other for visitors to the Internal Medicine and related departments. When I parked my car I made a note that it was located in stall "B-9". But when I finished my delivery I went to B-9 to find that my car not there. I spent 20 minutes looking for it and also called Security on their intercom. One guard was kind enough to escort me around to help me find my car. He then suggested that I might have parked in the "other" parking lot which has an identical color coded numbering system. So I eventually found my car soon after learning of their identical twin parking garages.

[@Mike-hg7xt]

The genius of this show is that they can take any small mundane topic and turn it into a massive drama. You catch yourself asking (wait,...why are they making a big deal out of this) They do it all the time....

Such a good episode and so relatable in so many different ways. That's what makes this show the best.

[@Frank_E_Scialdone]

If you get the Seinfeld CD sets… It explains that Kramer, when putting the box in the trump actually hit his face on the box. That was real. And it hurt him. And like others have said the car not starting was a blooper. Oh, and shout out to the set builders. The parking garage was built on the soundstage. Using mirrors to make it look bigger. And changing the colors of the signs to indicate different levels.

[@trekkiejunk]

The end scene where Kramer is putting the a/c unit in the trunk, Michael Richards (Kramer) actually slipped and smashed his face into the trunk lid. It's the only take, and they used it in the episode. You can see him reach for his lip, which was bleeding. But he kept going, and didn't break character. --- And of course, the car not starting was real, and if you look closely, you can see them all laughing while Kramer tries to start the car.

I’ve been there - twice. Once was at a mall in Paramus, New Jersey (mall capital of the world). I found a security guy to drive me around and eventually conceded that it was stolen. And just as he pulled over to let me out, my car was there. The other time was in the Giants Stadium parking lot (before it was torn down and replaced by MetLife). It was just after the Devils 1995 Stanley Cup parade and the parking lot was absolutely trashed from stuff left behind by tailgaters. Eventually after the lot was nearly empty, I found the car. It’s so embarrassing.

The set designers ironically missed out on an Emmy nomination for this episode because they did their job too well, and the voters assumed it was just a real parking garage. The big giveaway is the lack of parking lines, except for the scene with the car parked across two spaces.

I googled Jerry's fake medical condition and found something interesting, funny and concerning. In 2017, a Seinfeld fan sought to prove Urology & Nephrology Open Access Journal, among other online medical journals, publishes fake news. He created a report with a case study on Jerry's condition. They said he'd have to pay a $799 fee for his report to be published, and that it had been sent off for peer review. Despite the fact he didn't pay, a few days later his report went live (and is still available now).

[@trequor]

Peer review is an absolute sham

[@Yewtewba]

@@trequor that may be true, but in this instance they said they weren't going to (until he paid), then they took his work, didn't Google a word and stole it. The entire journal is predatory.

Towards the end of the episode where Kramer drops the box in the trunk of the car, and accidentally hitting his face with the box was a blooper that they left in there. You ca n see Elaine having to turn her face away from Kramer to hide her laughing.

[@kovacs88]

When Kramer puts the box in the trunk he actually smacks his face on the box, it supposedly hurt quite a bit.

[@nguvideos2868]

Its funny, the place where they started the episode is the area they find the car in.

[@GaryTongue-zn5di]

Fun Fact: Michael Richards (Kramer) was excited to do this episode because it was like THe Chinese Restaurant Episode and he always felt bad he wasn't included in the episode. Larry David said he wasn't in the Chinese Restaurant because back then they felt Like Kramer wouldn't go anywhere outside the apartment. He said if they made it later, he would have been included.

I forget the details, but in that last scene when they all finally pile into the car and it won't start, all 4 of them were busting their ass laughing. I wish I could remember why - perhaps the car was supposed to start and when it didn't, it was just too much, like it couldn't have been written better if it was deliberate.
