Kramer Gets Hooked On Kenny Roger's Chicken | The Chicken Roaster | Seinfeld

@@Leondegrance2 Wow, thats pretty offensive, Newman is a national treasure

[@beetlejuus]

Newman at 2:16 does one of THE BEST bits of 1930s gag-acting you will ever see: - Taking the shot - Crossing eyes as he chokes it down - Smacking the counter like a 1940s cartoon wolf would stomp its foot and wolf-whistle - Snapping back to reality like none of it ever happened

[@tyfenrir]

Really reminded me of Abbot and Costello.

[@daniello9155]

He is a very funny man and that scene is so funny. "vile weed" cracks me up every time I see it. I even call my two German Shepherds vile beasts after it. My dogs know I am joking. Lol.

@@daniello9155 Vile weed sounds like a Monty Python line, brilliant delivery.

[@daniello9155]

@@popkornking Love all of his work, very underrated. Wish there had of been more sketches with Newman and Kramer.

[@sophistichistory4645]

Those reactions are a take-off on Red Skelton's "Guzzler's Gin" sketch where he plays an actor doing a TV commercial for "the finest spirit you can buy". After taking a shot of the rotgut, he launches into all those antics and then some before finally regaining his composure. He then looks directly into the camera and says.... ......."Smooth".

“VILE WEED!!!!” is not only one of my favorite lines in Seinfeld history, but amongst both TV and film all time. The way he says it and his acting after are sublime. For the record, my favorite line is J. Peterman saying “…and we surrendered to temptation.” About Susie 😂

Kramer and Newman could easily have their own show together.

[@venomtang]

So, the writers started writing more episodes of them doing antics together and kramer fought against it, said he wanted to be his own character in the show and not 1 half of a slapstick team, so the stopped, but yea it would have been great. Also there is only 1 episode written without george, and he said if you do that again I quit, and they never did

[@Xylarxcode]

@@steverogers7601 Why would it be about food for Newman? Newman can order food there any time he likes. Jerry doesn't care what Newman eats or where he gets it from. Kramer was the one giving him the headache this time, not Newman.

I dont know why, but 3:10 Kramers caught-off-surprise look when Jerry was on his other side makes me crack up till my stomach hurts

[@AJR1129]

the whole scene is peak comedy for the show and Michael Richard's talent. Everything he's doing is a little nervous and 'off' for Kramer behavior because Jerry showed up unexpectedly and may discover his Roger's addiction. Laughing at his Newman joke, flipping through a magazine while not even looking at it, trying to get him to leave, then looking over the wrong shoulder just before being surprised and confronted. And of course his final desperate outburst.

[@nibiru379]

​@kva1770 perfect. Yes... Michael's quick turn clearly designed to convey nervousness. Brilliant acting
