Seinfeld Is Not As Good As You Remember!

[@damilitantone]

It's one of the few shows that I can watch in reruns despite seeing all of the shows many times. It still holds up for me.

The absurd moments in the last two seasons are what make them great. And J. Peterman? One of the greatest characters in television history.

[@Nathaniel_Izdepski]

I like J. Peterman, the actor was great and fun fact the actor John O'Hurley actually invested in the real J. Peterman Company and runs part of it to this day, played the part then later owns its in real life along with real peterman. a joke became a reality.

[@narr482]

Condolences. My dad was a fan of Seinfeld and even though I didn’t understand much at the time, I picked it up again as an adult when it finally clicked and made me a lifelong fan. My dad had passed by then but I always remember him snickering at Seinfeld on TV

[@MrHartApart]

My old man was a big fan as well; his favorite joke was the cold open with Jerry and George having mustaches out of nowhere. That one always got him howling.

[@vladimirfroane3652]

Something similar happened to me too. Back in the 90s, I didn't have much brain power to understand the Seinfeld structure. That's what makes it so good. They were ahead of their time. I used to laugh drooling at married with children when Al was scratching his bellybutton and then held out his arm to his wife for her to sample the content of his bellybutton too. I laughed at that cause I didn't know any better. Seinfeld is a very acquired taste as in what values and morals it promotes or makes fun of. I tried a while back to see how will I perceive married with children with new and improved brain power of understanding comedy, and......I could barely crack a smile at what the Bundy's were promoting.

[@TheMotiveDJ]

I completely acknowledge the show went very cartoonish in the last couple seasons but I still enjoy those too. Yes they are not the same kind of humour that the show was founded on, I get it. But they are still incredibly hilarious in their own right.

[@worsethanhitlerpt.2539]

I like the later ones where they get more insane the Finale kinda sucked, just a re-cap of what they did over the shows run. Still gotta respect Jerry for ending it while the show was still bigtime even though he already made enough cash for 10 lifetimes

[@musek5048]

it may have strayed away from the original vision the writers had but i still think its great silly humor, not everything needs to take itself seriously

Seinfeld isnt as good as you remember; it’s 10x better.

[@rockabye274]

Seinfeld looks particularly good when you compare it to the other mega hit sitcom (Friends) from that time.

[@vladimirfroane3652]

Friends are merely a copy of Seinfeld. Like all the sitcoms post Seinfeld. Maybe not one to one copy but in all of them have references to Seinfeld and even replicate jokes from it. The office is full of Seinfeld references. In the last season of the office, Curb is directly advertised by Saul Goodman. His way younger self as an actor dated Elaine in Seinfeld.

[@trevorgoodman4895]

The Rolling Stones of comedy. The NBC years were like the Brian Jones, and Mick Taylor years. The HBO years were like the Ronnie Wood years.

[@vladimirfroane3652]

What exactly am I wrong about? Labeling Seinfeld as the GOAT or friends being the start of conedy mediocrity and below mediocre? I don't mean to bad mouth the dead, but Matthew Perry at some point, within SNL context, told a costar that he invented sarcasm. He must of been high on strawberry jam at that time. Aside from The Office which was pretty good up to a point, friends, gang bang theory, two men cut in half or whatever that garbage was called, king of queens, and any sitcom you can think of, tried to dethrone Seinfeld. But it's simply not possible. And it never will be. That king of queens is nothing more than a poor copy of not even Seimfeld as a whole, but a single unmatched aspect of Seinfeld. The F. Costanza and son magical chemistry.

[@moonsofjupiter]

It holds up very well actually. People still talk about it a lot 30 years later for a reason.

[@BigFilmRev]

Fair point

It’s funny that when Larry David left is when many ppl think Seinfeld became a parody of itself, but ironically it’s Curb Your Enthusiasm which I feel like began completely grounded in reality, feeling like Larry David’s real life, and suffered becoming a total parody of itself to a much higher degree than Seinfeld ever did

[@Cookieboymonster1962]

[@bitte12pouce]

My all time favorite line is in the last season: Jerry to George: "Are you feeling anything right now?"

[@TheVagolfer]

I see your point, and you make a reasonable case, however, even in it's demise Seinfeld was still funnier than anything else on television. It's tone had changed the last two years and it was certainly not the clever and original concept that Larry David's acerbic sensibilities had brought to the reading table, but it still made people laugh and gave millions fodder to discuss the next day.

[@BigFilmRev]

Pretty much what I’m saying. The show was still good when compared to others, but its quality went down as it became more and more like a parody of itself, especially once Larry left.

The biggest problem with the finale is that they didn't deserve it.

[@koobs4549]

Larry David fixed the ending with the Curb finale where he did a shot for shot remake. Larry is in jail & Jerry comes to pick him up because a juror was caught failing to sequester & the conviction was overturned. That was a smarter ending because of course when they’re finally getting their comeuppance, some random technicality gets them off the hook. He acknowledges that this was how Seinfeld should’ve ended & I agree

[@Jjj53214]

They should have had that Chinese lady attorney from an earlier episode to be the prosecutor in the finale.

Otherwise, I can watch the rest of the run and it holds up much, much better than any other 90s sitcom.

[@LarryGonzalez00]

The finale is a rip off of, or tribute to, The Phil Silvers Show (Sgt. Bilko). It ends with the protagonists going to jail for their (hilarious) crimes against society. It also has a touch of Barney Miller, in that some of the popular characters from the show's past come back for one last appearance.

[@kgarcia78]

I know Larry David loved The Phil Silvers Show, so it makes sense he’d pay homage to a series that inspired him as a TV writer. I still want to see that series.

[@spankynater4242]

I loved it when it was on, right starting from Seinfeld Chronicles, and I never noticed that the quality dropped. However, now, I cannot go back and rewatch them.

[@montre-moi]

I didnt grow up watching Seinfeld. It just wasnt' really popular in Switzerland or France where I grew up. I discovered it through the memes and decided to give it a go a couple of years back. And what a ride it was! Most sitcoms, especially from the era, rely on a formula and become a parody of themselves in the later seasons. They often get stuck in endless drama which quickly becomes boring even to the most hardcore fans. Seinfled decided to become goofy and not take things too seriously while keeping its soul. The finale was bad, but bringing everybody back really made it better than most sitcoms finales. I just love it now, and watch some episodes from time to time. You can binge watch a season, watch an episode a month, leave it, come back to it... there's always something to discover in the background or a new line that stays with you. It's just great television.

[@476429]

I've seen every episode multiple times, and I find it just as enjoyable today as I did when it first aired. The fact it is still attracting new viewers demonstrates its ability to hold up over time.

[@steveb9713]

I thought a better way to get cameos in a finale would to have Elaine and Jerry get married and when they say speak now or forever hold your peace, all the characters come in one after the other

[@malafakka8530]

Sounds like a great idea

[@gutenbird]

Oh man I'm so glad they didn't get married. That is so lame.

[@douglasmurphy3266]

If they were to be getting married it would have to be under the pretense of some sort of scam. Jerry needs $15,000 of Dental work done and Elaine has a company plan that fully covers a spouse, or something like that. The show was under strict directive by Larry David to not be wholesome or sentimental.

[@meechipeachi]

[@matthewgallagher1761]

This is dead-on. It's the greatest situation comedy of all-time, but it got away from what made it truly great. The ridiculous, over the top episodes of the last two seasons were reflected not only in the writing, but the acting. George's character became a blow hard when he used to have more subtlety. The situations didn't tap into the real situations it once did, which made it iconic. It just became a cartoon - and, yes, a parody, of what made it great. The newsflash is that, apparently, Seinfeld is going to revisit the show's finale with something new he and Larry David are cooking up. That reunion arc in 2009 on "Curb Your Enthusiasm" was funnier than anything from the last two seasons of "Seinfeld" because it actually got back to more realistic - everyday - a show about "nothing" - situations. I hope whatever it is they're doing, it's something special.

[@BigFilmRev]

Very true. It's exactly the point I was trying to make. I still think Seinfeld, even at its worst, was still good, but it's a shame to see it get so far away from what made it great to begin with, and maybe people are used to seeing the episodes out of order as they shuffle through them on Netflix or catch them on TV from time to time. But when you watch them chronologically, you notice a pattern of the stories getting more and more ridiculous, and it's sad that it seems to start with one of my all time favorite episodes: The Marine Biologist.

[@donkeydan5996]

It's not fully fledged without it's downs. That's what makes Mike the GOAT, his prime along with his now mythical defeats, so is Seinfeld. The office had it way worse. Really relatable chemistry up until Steve left. After that they were completely aimless. The last episode was excruciating. But still, incomparable. Seinfeld with it's perceived downs still the very best, and the office with it's downs. When the office went down, it did it like the titanic.

So, to bring an objective perspective to a subjective matter, I don't think the data agrees with the point made in this video, and I don't also personally think that the show had a lower quality in its later seasons (with the exception of the finale).

[@toneohm]

i think his issue is more just about them going 'over the top' with the sub plots.. and making these a little too elaborate and less natural in the later stuff.. i also like the later stuff myself.. so i don't necessarily agree with his point either.. they just had the money, balls, and reputation to pull it off in the later shows

" So, to bring an objective perspective to a subjective matter, I don't think the data agrees with the point made in this video" That's not an "objective perspective."

It wasn't for no reason... character development. She gave up on life, it was a depiction of how people like George are created, Elaine turned from nice girl into a George.

Totally disagree. Who cares if its less realistic? Its about making you laugh. Are the later curb seasons realistic? Not in the slightest

Mean Elaine is my favorite 🤣

Just saw this for the first time. As a huge Seinfeld fan, I could not agree more. When it went away from the ironies of life in NYC, it was done. From Del Boca Vista to Play Now and Kruger, they totally lost it. Everyone became a parody of themselves instead of being themselves. When reruns are on, I can't even watch the later shows.

Nah they are all good, right to the end

Thank you! Someone who finally gets it about the Finale. I loved it. It's a better episode than any of its competitors.

Jerry and Larry may have been the co-conceiver of Seinfeld but don’t forget the team of writers. They’re really the unsung heroes here without their input. It would’ve been literally a story about nothing

[@gutenbird]

True.

[@canastraroyal]

YES! Finally someone said it. Although my favorite season is indeed 7.
