Kramer Loses The Car | The Parking Garage | Seinfeld

[@senorromantico7723]

There is an actual conditioner in the box Kramer carrying around. Michael Richards (the actor who plays Kramer) wanted to make his struggle with the box seem genuine.

[@flowerchild89]

Oh wow that's an interesting fact. Thanks for sharing 😊!

@@melissacarterpresley5786 From IMDB: "Throughout this episode Kramer (Michael Richards) is seen carrying around a box with a new air conditioner in it. At Michael Richards' insistence, the prop department placed an actual air conditioner in the box. Richards wanted to make his struggle with the box seem genuine."

[@lukasmacdonald7290]

And they cut a great scene at the end, after the car doesn't start. Kramer opens the door and gets out of the car, looks behind him, and gets straight back in the car. He doesn't look around, he only checks out one direction, for unexplainable reasons.

[@canastraroyal]

Anxiety!

[@redacted2275]

​@@canastraroyalIt was probably because Michael Richards didn't want to break character like everyone inside the car, so he got out in a spur of the moment decision to concentrate - that's why they were able to use this now classic scene in the final cut of the episode.

[@farklestaxbaum4945]

Kramers physical acting is so incredible

[@alexnejako777]

this is the most realistic episode

[@flowerchild89]

Right 😂! Who hasn't had this experience! 😊

And so one of the greatest episodes of television was born

[@claudiatapia8310]

I was thinking: "the greatest show ever"! Agree 100 % !

[@matthewkemmer]

The best part is, the car was supposed to start at the end!

[@melissacarterpresley5786]

No it wasn't. Otherwise it would have.

[@GrkFlyersFan]

No, it not starting was completely unplanned. You can hear JLD laughing

[@ninadganore]

@@melissacarterpresley5786 it was supposed to start, the filming went on for so long the battery died. They cut out the part where the three start laughing and kept the failed starts. Serendipity

[@redacted2275]

​@@ninadganoreNo. Michael Richards took the attention off everyone breaking character inside the car by getting up and looking around... maybe expecting them to regroup but you can still see the three laughing at the end of the scene.

[@ninadganore]

@@redacted2275 he got up and looked around after the car failed to start. Which wasn't expected. I saw the behind the scenes from the dvd collection. They have small documentaries for every season.

True story. I once went downtown and parked in a garage. Thinking of this episode, I took a picture of my parking spot to remember where I parked. But after I finished my shopping, I took a wrong turn and couldn’t find the garage. 😅

[@rattus3102]

😂😂

[@shuriKen469]

so go downtown, things'll be great when you're downtown, no finer place for sure 👍🏼

[@joemckim1183]

If I ever park at a shopping center I try to do outside parking if possible and just remember what store I originally entered the mall at.

[@pronkb000]

@@shuriKen469 Just like the song says--it's all downtown!

[@jackrodakthemovieguy1726]

This episode is probably so good because there were no redemptions these 4 could get. George missed his parents outing, He failed to keep a girl he got pretty comfortable with, Elaine’s fish couldn’t make it, And the car didn’t even seem to work when they finally got to it

[@redacted2275]

Yes... just like real life, sometimes.

[@sandal_thong]

Next episode, they have to take back the air conditioner because it doesn't fit or doesn't work. Just kidding.

[@fromthehaven94]

We're like rats in some experiment!

[@ImperialDiecast]

[@Mary-zk8lo]

Still one of best TV shows ever

[@truthhurts3524]

Liked hearing they used mirrors to create the illusion of a full sized parking garage.

[@JohnDoe-po3ku]

you can kind of see it 1:04 and 1:07

[@sandal_thong]

@@JohnDoe-po3ku Right: orange 4,

[@pronkb000]

Yep. They found out that filming in an actual parking garage (i.e., shutting one down for a day or multiple days) was almost impossible, so they had to strike the set and build an ad-hoc garage there.

[@johngonzalez4298]

The greatest show ever

[@brendaleverick3655]

Kramer really was carrying around a heavy window air conditioner. It's a great episode.

[@jluisl3652]

[@Scott-fy7fm]

If you look at the colored numbers on the wall you see they were literally twenty feet from the car when they first started, they start and end up with that color 20

[@lockingdiff]

Crazy how in HD you can see the mirrors that round out the set to give it more depth and size.

Seinfeld but it’s in the backrooms.

Yes! The original backrooms

[@ikarma-j8281]

Fun fact: the car not starting wasn’t intentional and you can see them laughing in the back cause it stalled.

[@redacted2275]

Michael Richards was the only one who didn't broke character, that's why they were able to use this now classic scene in the final cut of the episode.

Fish, what do they do? What do you do?

[@Bloodynine606]

We still quote this episode in parking lots

[@calsavestheworld]

In many ways I think this is the best Seinfeld episode. And kind of a bottle episode too.

[@dg-dm1rr]

Behold one of the best episodes of television ever recorded

[@williamdemattia29]

The car not starting wasn't in the script. You can see Jason Alexander start laughing in the back seat.

[@BobbyMoore2-mp8wb]

Funny 😄 episode

[@truthhurts3524]

3:31 I just noticed they’re parked nearly under a “handicapped parking” sign hanging from the ceiling.

[@mlsaulnier]

Yes and to the right of the car too there is a little disabled sign

Way back in the day.... Before parking garages.... A lot of airports had Long Term Outdoor parking lots. Some of these lots were HUGE and if you were gone say 2 weeks And it snowed a lot And you didn’t write it down .............

:54 Typical musical/drama point and jump without pointing, just jumping or leap in the direction without leaping, more like tiptoe bounce kind of like a trained but quit going to ballerina dancer class jump but still do that because that’s the peak of your training.

[@redacted2275]

Wow, that's an unexpected analysis... lol

[@dhooomketu]

This episode was so spontaneous and it really defined the whole show kinda set the tone of the show

[@canastraroyal]

This is like the Breakfast Club.

[@sandal_thong]

2:13 There's a green 20 but no car. 3:36 Another green 20 opposite the car.

[@kotowate]

This. But it could be both a mistake and the characters couldn't find the car while standing almost next to it.

[@sandal_thong]

They said it wasn't a garage but one of their stages they built to look like a garage and move cars and signs around and used mirrors to make it look bigger. They just weren't careful in deciding where the car should be and putting the signs to match.

[@mitchellhodack657]

The audience bleachers, Jerry's apartment and the restaurant had to be removed in order to make way for the parking garage set.

[@mohammadbajwa]

Funny how they were supposed to drive away at the end but the car never turned on … you know the show was going to be special when something like that happens!

0:10 1:28 The Black GMC Syclone sitting in the background. Nice.

[@joemckim1183]

In the world of keyfobs this episode is totally obsolete, you just push the emergency thing on it and follow it to the noise. But seriously why didn't they just start looking on the first floor and work their way up until they found the car?

[@pronkb000]

Also, cell phones with cameras. Just snap a picture of the D7 sign or text it to yourself (or the group, in this case).

Every time it cuts the color of the numbers change LOL

Jerry Seinfeld could have come up with a brilliant idea for a new sitcom all this time.. such a pity he's wasted his potential on a single hit😞

[@senorromantico7723]

He is a genius. He got out when he was on top. The show has been on reruns on TV all my life and I live in Sweden, unbelievable success with this show. Secondly, his partner/co-creator Larry David came up with another brilliant show "Curb Your Enthusiasm".

[@alexshank1414]

He made one of the funniest sitcoms of all time and after that he could live comfortably off of the royalties. If you could retire early, wouldn’t you?
