About Seinfeld:
Seinfeld stars Jerry Seinfeld as a stand-up comedian whose life in New York City is made even more chaotic by his quirky group of friends who join him in wrestling with life's most perplexing, yet often trivial questions. Often described as "a show about nothing," Seinfeld mines the humor in life's mundane situations like waiting in line, searching for a lost item, or the trials and tribulations of dating. Co-starring are Julia Louis-Dreyfus as Jerry's ex-girlfriend and current platonic pal, Elaine Benes; Jason Alexander as George Costanza, Jerry's neurotic hard-luck best friend; and Michael Richards as Jerry's eccentric neighbor, Kramer.

And thus, the legend of Art Vandelay was born.

[@blabla-rg7ky]

some Art Vandelay, somewhere on this planet, is mumbling in his chin that's he's famous but got no compensation for it

[@ricochetVendetta]

I think he saved a whale once

[@RiddlerQM]

Lol, do you know what season this is?

[@auxorion]

Vandelay Industries (...an importing company......... and exporting.... importing/exporting.)

[@3tobin]

The show had 180 episodes and Jerry had dozens of girlfriends, yet the best girl he would ever meet would appeared in the second episode of the show incredibly.

[@priyankza]

“So do you date immature men ?” “Almost exclusively” - she was so good

[@lamesbane]

George's cool reply "they can" without breaking a sweat is an excellent display of his cunning lying abilities. Such a great and funny sequence that summarise George Costanza.

[@bluesky6985]

It's not a lie if you believe it

[@thelonewolf7443]

This was the coolest girl that Jerry was ever with.

[@kanjanikabir4864]

They Shouldn't have gone to Vermont.

[@steverogers7601]

She was approachable, charming, witty, and centered. They def start off on a great note but ended disappointing.

[@debojyotipanda938]

I agree

[@HyunsooSong]

[@weho_brian]

because she was out of his league. Jerry had a chance, but his cheapness sealed the deal

[@joycampi7233]

She had great comebacks for everything Jerry said to her!! Lol

[@THEMASTER26]

Yes! Larry david and Jerry are excellent writers 👏

[@Deira854]

She was beautiful

[@megsie1424]

Vanessa was good enough to be a recurring character throughout.

[@blabla-rg7ky]

yep! She's equally beautiful and intelligent. A fatal combination for weak men :)

[@rohunsaigal2576]

She’s too good for them

[@sreeharivenat8002]

True. She should have been one since they gave Mulva another chance.

[@jamestiscareno4387]

She's in two episodes.

[@fiskebent]

She'd be a bad fit in a show about stupid people

[@farid1406]

I absolutely love how she immediately senses George is lying

[@johnnysecular]

I die on the floor laughing every time he says without anyone asking “I’m an architect”, and then I start wheezing when he says “railroads”. Honestly i can watch this once a week and still laugh. Same with Larry David in court fighting the ticket for beeping. Laugh out loud funny each and every time.

[@01sapphireGTS]

"They can." - George

[@Gregorrin]

1:25 Simon, Bennett, Robbins, Oppenheim and Taft 😂😂😂 You can even see his lips move when he turns to Elaine. 🤣

[@joycampi7233]

He was caught!! Lol

[@frankdayton731]

Sagman*

[@kkcook3743]

I could never remember that to save my life

[@JB19504]

That name was the name of a firm of one of Larry David's college friends who became a lawyer. They used a lot of names from Larry's college days in the series. Same with some of Julia's friends in college.

[@TorontoWire]

Vanessa was the best written one shot character. Talent, Beauty, Funny and she can act, underrated actress.

[@pq9254]

She was my favorite out of all his love interest

[@briansilva3765]

This is definitively the start of the show, Jerry thanked George for helping him, such politeness from the group would never be seen later.

[@mandovid]

Yeah, and George showing a condo? ...like, he had a normal job?

This relationship had such a magical liftoff...THEN....that Dreaded Weekend stay at the Cottage out in the Country...and this relationship went down like a Kamikaze Plane! But....Art Vandelay, The Architect was introduced to Us Fans and we ALL learned about The Art Of Lying from the writings of one George Costanza! Buh Bye From Ohio

I find it funny how Jerry thought "Bert Harrbingson" sounded made up, but "Art Core, Art Corvelay & Art Vandelay" were ALL completely normal names to them 😂

[@karatechop3]

If someone says they're an architect, is "what have you designed? the first question you would ask? Love that it happened twice to George on this show.

[@JustSomeCanadianGuy]

“I suppose YOU could be an architect!!!” 🤨

They have something going good for them, then they just ruin everything. Always keeps me laughing. Love the way JERRY looks and responds to Elaine. They make a great couple!

[@JD_300]

I always thought George got all the pretty women because of his hairy chest but now I think it’s because he tells them his name is Art Vandalley and it gives him more of Rico Suave personality

[@norhantaher3916]

Are hairy chests appealing to women?

[@JD_300]

I have a hairy chest and women love it they love running there hands up and down it

But don't they already have to be into you before you get to the point where they would be running their hands along your chest?
