Frank Cooks Again | The Fatigues | Seinfeld

[@jeremytung1632]

I love gags where we see a flashback from decades ago and it’s the same actor. Especially if they say something like “I was a much younger person back then”.

[@steverogers7601]

In the flashback, Frank is supposed to be a young hotshot military cook in his 20s yet my man is still in his 50s lmao!

[@aishabintabubakr4944]

It's funnier that way

[@Hellodarknessmyolefriend]

Wow frank was even older looking at a young age !!!🤣

[@Demiglitch]

He was just a boy!

[@David-vf7if]

It’s so good. Such a funny idea. “I was young, I was brash.” Crusty old dude. Lol

[@roachdoggjr5647]

I always loved the fact that Frank claims the GIs were sick because he over seasoned, and not because he served 3 week old beef.

[@Schnidler]

huh? overseasoning food gone bad is a thing, so you can taste that its already bad

[@MrNowhereland]

They were just young boys, Frank sent them to the latrine Hahaha

[@bink]

​@@SchnidlerI think you misunderstood, they were saying they wouldn't have gotten sick from the over seasoning but from the fact that the meat was bad.

[@blakerackley8874]

It was war!?!?

[@lapis591]

@@bink Wait, who are 'they?' The boys in the army unit? None of them knew the meat was bad.

[@befuddledfaun]

The shot of Frank when he says "In my mind, there's a war still goin on" is simultaneously one of the most hilarious and artistically captured shots I've seen in the show. It's like something out of the Godfather.

[@spikemufc]

The whole sequence is perfect! Beautiful cinematography, music and editing, alongside many cliches that are usually part of these flashbacks which make the scene even funnier!

[@licmir3663]

How can we not appreciate that Frank enjoys hanging out with Kramer, who’s unemployed and probably crazy, but has no respect for his own son and has zero tolerance with his shenanigans? I think the key difference is that Kramer never complains, while George is always nagging, which Frank thinks is annoying.

[@insertclevername4123]

Maybe, although I think Frank probably tolerates Kramer more because he isn't his son and therefore can't be a disappointment to him.

[@ianfinrir8724]

@@insertclevername4123 Probably also because Kramer is willing to take risks while George is very risk adverse.

[@willc5723]

Frank even mentions once that Kramer’s not family that’s why

[@saimcheeda93]

Kramer has great social skills. He's always cool and composed, he actually likes to help people through his connections, and he's never embarrassed with himself. George meanwhile constantly complains and only talks about how much he hates himself

PTSD isnt really something to joke about... But this absolutely slays me every time I see it. And "Adagio for strings" was the perfect finishing touch.

[@Terminated_Account]

Everything is something to joke about if you can find a way to make it funny lol

[@jaguatiricaimediata5305]

Imagine having a condition which is something people can't even joke about.... you'd feel awful. Yes it sucks, but the fact that we can joke about anything is what makes humans cope and overcome challenges.

[@gutsfinky]

​@@jaguatiricaimediata5305agreed. I have OCD which has been severe at times. Washing your hands until they bleed isn't very much fun. But remember that show Monk? I used to watch that with my mom and just rofl. It helped me feel better and it helped her see what a crazy place my mind was.

Fun Fact: At the 3:40 mark, Frank cracks an egg. A professional chef was hired for the sole purpose of performing Frank's one-handed egg cracking, but the chef had difficulty performing under the pressure of filming. After numerous takes with messy egg-crackings, the egg was cracked by a member of the Seinfeld production crew.
