SEINFELD 3x11 The Alternate Side / 3x12 The Red Dot First Time Watching TV REACTION

[@A23457]

“These pretzels are making me thirsty” is a very famous line. The rental car bit is famous too. And 5:45 was sort of a meta joke bc critics were ripping Jerry’s acting

[@gswithen]

I've been saying, "these pretzels are making me thirsty," for 30 years. 🤣

NBC made them add the scene with sober Dick at the comedy club in the end bc they felt the characters turning him back into an alcoholic was too reprehensible

[@RichardEyring]

I love your reactions to these Seinfeld episodes, Jen-- can't wait to see more!😀

[@bluebear1985]

A good Woody Allen movie to watch would be "Annie Hall". He starred in it with Diane Keaton, as well as directed.

[@conureron3792]

That reservation scene is memorable as is the pretzel line

[@verdinox4548]

I think the phrase for saying that someone is no longer drinking alcohol was originally referred to as being on the "water wagon". So if someone is on the (water) wagon, then that means they're not drinking alcohol....and so therefore when it's said that someone "fell off the (water) wagon", it means they're drinking again.🍸🍺🍹😁👍

[@joseherrera8489]

That reservation thing happened to me in Dallas a few years back. Luckily, they told me that since the car I reserved was not available, I could take any available one for the same price. I took advantage of that.

[@jjw1072]

-It's called "The Wagon" because back in the day of horse and wagons, the guy who had been drinking wasn't allowed to drive. He was "Off the Wagon".

[@petercofrancesco9812]

They had wagons back in your day? How old are you?

[@SuperDrocket]

That's not even remotely true. The original phrase it's based on is 'on the water wagon', indicating someone who is no longer drinking alcohol but is drinking water instead. Water wagons were used before paved road: since most streets were dirt, horses and carts kicked up a lot of dust, so in cities they'd have a wagon that went around spraying the road with water to keep the dust down. It seems to have originally been something of a put-down (as drinking water was often seen as being rather weak, unlike strong manly alcohol), but in the run-up to prohibition the phrase was used in a lot of advertising in a more positive way, with 'get on the wagon' meaning to join the pro-prohibition movement and quit drinking. They'd literally throw rallies/parades with wagons that people could get on to show their support for prohibition. All of this information is quite readily available online - just search for "off the wagon phrase origin".

[@conureron3792]

Love love love seeing another Seinfeld reaction by Jen!

[@travtotheworld]

The cashmere was probably that expensive because it was typically sourced from central Asia and this episode predates the rise of global trade from the late 90s through today that has dramatically lowered the price of goods imported to North America.

[@Adam_Le-Roi_Davis.]

More great fun from, Seinfeld, a great reaction, Jen. I look forward to more in the future.

The Sleeper w Woody Allen is pretty funny.

[@eugenio1203]

2:05 you need to watch them! midnight in paris, matchpoint, irrational man, cafe society, rainy day in NY, his films are very unique

[@lynnturman8157]

Great job, Jen! If you wanna be a true cinephile, you gotta watch some Woody Allen. Start with a couple of his comedies from the early 70s: TAKE THE MONEY AND RUN and also SLEEPER. Then watch ANNIE HALL which is considered his masterpiece. He's got more great movies but we can start with those.

[@jessieball6195]

"These pretzels are making me thirsty!" Love that line.

[@nkfd4688]

"He's an importer-exporter" 😅

[@OhArchie]

“The Wagon” refers to “the Sobriety Wagon”, which came about in the lead up to and early years of Prohibition in the US. It was essentially a public interest marketing campaign.

[@markpekrul4393]

"Was that wrong??" - brilliant.

[@jrobwoo688]

I just love this series. Thanks for sharing your reactions with us, Jen.

[@beckyreilly8750]

By the way IMO the best Woody Allen Movie is "Sleeper" Very funny.

[@ElliotNesterman]

As an introduction to Woody Allen's movies I suggest starting with his early comedies, as being lighter than some of his later work. _Take the Money and Run,_ a comic mockumentary about a bank robber. _Bananas,_ which has more jokes per minute than nearly any other film. _Sleeper,_ a satiric, science fiction comedy. _Love and Death,_ a parody of Russian literature, especially _War and Peace._ Or you might start with what is likely his best romantic comedy, _Annie Hall._ _Annie Hall_ was nominated for the "Big Five" Oscars, winning four: Best Picture, Director, Screenplay, and Actress; as well as winning many other film awards both nationally and internationally. "Regarded among the greatest films ever made, [Annie Hall] ranks 31st on AFI's list of the 100 greatest films in American cinema, 4th on their list of the greatest comedy films and 28th on Bravo's "100 Funniest Movies". Film critic Roger Ebert called it "just about everyone's favorite Woody Allen movie". The film's screenplay was also named the funniest ever written by the Writers Guild of America in its list of the "101 Funniest Screenplays". In 1992, the Library of Congress selected the film for preservation in the United States National Film Registry as being "culturally, historically or aesthetically significant". It is also regarded by critics as a landmark "transitional" film in Allen's career, moving his work from more "accessible"[6] and surreal parody towards more "naturalistic" comic filmmaking." - Wikipedia article

[@georgeheilman4243]

For some reason, I recall a late 90s ad for a car security system that promoted itself as a giant snake that would scare away thieves. Maybe that's what Jerry needed.

[@SeenGod]

that would be Viper, “Protected by Viper! Stand Back!” they’re actually still around to this day👍

[@Stevarooni]

"On the wagon" began as "on the water cart", implying thet you were drinking water rather than booze.

5:24 I still say these pretzels are making me thirsty to this day, and I haven’t watched this episode in years

[@nethrelm]

Nah, I rented a car for a few days about 3 years ago and insurance was still optional (in the US). Normal car insurance usually covers rentals anyway, so as long as you have insurance you don't need to buy separate rental insurance when you rent a car.

[@Cheepchipsable]

Did you not recognise Dick the boyfriend in Ep 2? He was in an American Werewolf on London. I think "on the wagon" might have come from the temperance movement in the 1800's. (They would travel around and speak from Wagons, and getting on the wagon was a show of support.) The Hallelujah Trail might be worth watching to see some Temperance women in action. $85 is a lot for a sweater, as is $65 for a hoodie...🤷‍♂ Hannah and Her Sisters, Bananas, Broadway Danny Rose, Everything You Always Wanted to Know About Sex * But Were Afraid to Ask, Annie Hall, Crimes and Misdemeanors are some Woody Allen movies worth watching.
