Larry David himself, after that episode aired, got a phone call from his mother where she yelled at him, saying, "HOW COULD YOU KILL THAT NICE GIRL!" lmao.

The thing about Seinfeld is the writers of the episodes didn’t actually write the episodes. They just pitched the ideas for the episodes, and Seinfeld and Larry David wrote the episodes themselves. The Seinfeld writers have talked about this to varying degrees before, (it sounds like after Larry left, and Seinfeld was along, the dynamic with the other writers changed some) but there’s a funny story Norm Macdonald told about this on the Nerdist Podcast about Spike Feresten writing the Soul Nazi episode, and he relates a story Feresten told him about how he (Feresten) ran into Larry David years later and asked him if it made him mad that he (Feresten) got an Emmy for writing the Soup Nazi episode when it was actually David and Seinfeld that wrote it, and David said something like: Oh yeah.

[@Tony_Cardoza]

That's not true. The writers did indeed write the episodes. After they wrote an episode and it got approved, they'd submit their script to Larry and Jerry who would then make rewrites until it was ready for TV. They weren't paying professional writers, most of whom were Harvard and Yale graduates, to sit around and pitch ideas all day. They would write the episodes and would be credited for it in the beginning credit sequence, where it would say for instance, written by Tom Gammill and Max Prose (two of the best Seinfeld writers, also went on to write for the Simpsons). Seinfeld writers talked about this often, very deliberately and clear as a matter of fact. New writers who just got hired on would submit a script that was approved and they'd wonder if something was wrong when Jerry and Larry said they were going to do rewrites on it. The veteran writers would then calm the rookies down by saying, "No, everything's fine. This is just the way Larry and Jerry do it here." About writers pitching ideas: of course they did. But they'd also write the episodes they'd pitch when Larry and Jerry liked their idea. Many writers have said that the best ideas to pitch to Larry and Jerry were things that the writers experienced in real life. For instance, the Jon Voight car idea was something that happened to writer Tom Gammill. Then when they got to film the actually episode, and they had Jon Voight act out a scene (where he bites Kramer after he closes in on his limo), Tom Gammill showed Voight the LeBaron Convertible that he owned, which the seller said used to belong to Jon Voight, to which Voight said, "I've never seen that car before." As far as the writing dynamic changing after Larry left, I'm sure that's true to some extent. I think Jerry still worked on the rewrites but I would assume perhaps the writers had a bigger role in the rewriting process but that's just speculation on my part. I can't remember if anything was said about this. Larry was there for all but the final 2 seasons (minus the last 2 part episode, Larry wrote that one.) So out of 9 seasons, Larry was there for the first 7.

[@cradio52]

Honestly the fact that out of Seinfeld’s entire legendary run, they only had ONE singular scrapped episode is insane and just shows how high quality, tight and top notch those scripts were. Usually a network TV series - especially a sitcom - will have at least a few completed scripts that end up scrapped at the last moment for whatever reason.

[@the-NightStar]

I believe guns themselves as a concept are the most hilarious things in the entire world. They're overflowing with such an amazing sense of hypocrisy over their existence that they're legitimately comic gold. The entire thing feels like one big ironic joke on the world. Imagine someone making the first gun claiming that it's not for murder, it's for self-defense. Even though, the only thing it defends FROM is a knife, at least until you make another one. But suddenly by there being two guns, now they cancel each other out. A gun is a good defense for a knife, but it's no good defense for another gun, which another person now has. So the only solution to defend against two guns? MORE than two guns. Cut to the modern day in which there are many not just countless millions of guns that exist but thousands of TYPES of guns, too. Now we live in a world FILLED with them soley due to the fact that someone just HAD to make one in the first place, and another one to try and equalize them both out. I dunno about you, but that's the funniest thing I can imagine. And you know the old adage, the only thing funnier than fiction is the truth.

[@TitanQueen]

As a big Seinfeld fan myself I think this episode could work. Just change the script around. Jerry: Hey Kramer you ever used a gun? Kramer: Who told you I did? Jerry: Elaine wants to get a gun. Elaine: There's been five break ins at my apartment and I'm not going to be the next one to get hurt. George: A gun won't fix that! Elaine: You're only saying that because you're afraid of guns. George: They can kill people anyone is afraid of that! Elaine: Anyways I'm going to take a class and get one. Kramer: That's a waste of time and money, I know a guy who sells the weapon and the license. Cheap price, no classes. He'll even provide a free case of bullets. Elaine: Huh, that actually isn't bad. Sure. Jerry you want to come? Jerry: Sure. George: This is illegal! And I will not let you break the law, George will not! Jerry: You're coming with us then? George: ...yes. Then she gets the gun, accidentally leaves it at Jerry's place, George finds it, freaks, and attempts to return it. Then he almost gets robbed and is busting from the confidence... Then he leaves it on a Subway tried to get it back, a cop overheard his gun search and he gets arrested. Somehow Kramer finds the gun, but keeps it himself because to him "None of you are responsible gun owners. You think getting a fake license would make you keep it safe."

The biggest factor honestly was that Seinfeld was barely keeping its head above water. I think it’s true had it been a later episode when everyone was in love with the show already, it wouldn’t have been an issue at all. Most sitcoms only pull out the serious episodes after the show’s built a relationship with a big audience, it was just way to early to try this. And also, if Jerry’s to be believed, the jokes weren’t funny, so that’s an immediate strike against it. I just think the only “new” people watching it would be the one’s that would get offended while those that didn’t care or would’ve been on the side of the show doing it just wouldn’t have cared to even tune in. It seems like a case of too much too soon for a show that wasn’t doing great ratings wise already, this might’ve tanked it completely.

Then someone (it may have even been Larry Charles actually) suggested him saying "Not that there's anything wrong with that". Jerry suggested that they say that line every single time the subject came up. Of course, the episode became a classic and that became one of so many immortal catchphrases from the show.

I've never seen anything from Channel Awesome that was funny. It was all cringe to me.

[@TransRoofKorean]

It's weird because I feel that concept fits Elaine's character *_perfectly..._* maybe there's an argument to be made that the show avoided taking political stances, but got knows Dreyfus didn't avoid that IRL. I can really imagine her taking that position, "no, under no circumstances am I willing to do a script which _might_ imply that wanting a gun for self-defense is reasonable." I really think that could've been great. Too bad.

[@FcknAwsm]

Right, like Elaine is unhinged af she would totally get a gun in the show

[@TransRoofKorean]

@@FcknAwsm getting a gun makes you unhinged? one to defend yourself? especially one who lived in NY through the 80s, as her character did? is that really your position?

[@FcknAwsm]

@@TransRoofKorean Her immediately pointing it Jerry and joking about killing him makes her unhinged… seek help weirdo I love Elaine

[@bobmclovinelectricboogaloo]

​@@TransRoofKorean yeah people believe guns hurt people it's crazy you have bad people that do bad things with a tool so the tool itself has to be bad.

[@0neDoomedSpaceMarine]

Yeah, I read these lines in the past, and I can envision her saying them vividly, they're really something in her character, with the one exception for "making Jerry beg," which I agree with Whang on, that's probably something she _would say,_ but wouldn't _actually do._

On the 23rd mile of a marathon, poop streaming down my leg, but I HAD to click this new Whang vid

The trainwell episode of Seinfeld was my favorite. Especially when George signed up with the affiliate link

[@cianmoriarty7345]

6:45 Jason Alexander making a good unwitting rebuttal of the whole "guns aren't funny" politically correct line. Please. If _Doctor Strange Love_ can mock the "mutually assured destruction" nuclear policy, to great effect _and_ change people's minds about nuclear weapons I don't see why a sitcom like _Seinfeld_ can't do the same with handguns.

[@CaptainRegular]

The Simpsons pulled it off with "The Cartridge Family," brilliantly. Classic episode, and full of dark humor.

[@Dusty_B]

Great dive into that episode man. Was a big Seinfeld fan back during its run but I never even heard a peep about that unshot ep. Very interesting.

[@Jared_Wignall]

It’s a shame episode wasn’t made. Could have been a truly excellent episode. Maybe some tweaking here and there to make it more to the liking of the cast, but the overall premise is good. Thanks for talking about this Whang, hope you’re doing well. Keep up the great work and take care!

[@0neDoomedSpaceMarine]

I think the script seems pretty solid, just needed a few tweaks to work.

[@kaijusdad6220]

Love that you had the clip of Kramer on Murphy Brown when you mentioned the shows competing with Seinfeld.

[@Tony_Cardoza]

"Look, Look Kramer's on Murphy Brown!"

[@AndroidSunner]

my favorite seinfeld episode was the one where jerry fell from his apartment directly onto george

[@clairemacphee4273]

i've seen the whole show but i still had to google this, just to make sure i hadn't somehow missed it lmao

[@steelcurtain187]

This was really interesting. I’m definitely a sucker for any Seinfeld info from that era. Great job sir 👏

[@MYNAMECHEF_FilthyFrank]

The people tripping about guns usually never experienced them in real life and the ones trying to get them taken away are the ones surrounded by guards with them.

[@BAgodmode]

The director of the episode who objected was a naval firearms officer. His entire naval career was handling firearms.

[@raiellymonteiro1422]

That's funny cause community has an episode with a similar plot and is possibly the best episode on the show

[@Binkyfishies]

finally someone who plays Seinfeld and The Simpsons as background noise. Ive seen both shows (both seasons 1-9 lol) so many times that they should put me in the book of world records. this is why we need representation

[@neozoen8665]

Are you me?

[@Tony_Cardoza]

I've watched so much Seinfeld it isn't funny. I even watch the writer's commentary and the inside looks on the DVD's. Multiple times in fact.

[@Conorscorner]

Background noise, Seinfeld is a great background music that I grew up with and still do. I used to watch Seinfeld, I still do, but I used to too. - Mitch Hedberg

[@HoyeGraphics]

It definitely makes Elaine out to be a person with murderous intent.

[@stevepensando2593]

To be fair, if there's a character in that show that I can see snapping in a murderous rampage, it's Elaine

[@morganghetti]

I watch 8 ball jacket guy at least once a year. Never has justice been so satisfying.

[@purplemonkydishwasher]

I thought this was gonna be about the Funny or Die “lost episode” about Kramer’s racist rant

[@bellevicious2862]

To be fair to the Kennedy assassination episode, they were parodying a recent movie that was about the assassination rather than the assassination itself.

[@canadianpsycho1867]

you mean the 2006 laugh factory incident?

Kudos for making this video. At first I thought this was clickbait but there really was a lost episode; thanks for the inside look. 😊

[@DubYuhGChoppa]

I just recently watched through the entire series and it's always been hard to imagine anything going too far for the writers in retrospect lol

[@shellsnbees]

Love your vids man!!

[@AdamasOldblade]

Ad Read stops at 2:41

[@bowmanbrent419]

Larry Charles talking about working with Larry David on Larry King is crazy 🤪 😂

[@TomEnleft]

This is pertinent to my interests.

[@Unihuahua]

They said, "guns arent funny" yet have an episode about Jerry staring at a minors chest. Seems about right.

[@richiedagger733]

I'm a die hard seinfeld fan, yet I've never herd of this before

[@Jon7763]

17:32 was that Wayne Knight pilot shot on the Fresh Prince Of Bel Air set?!?!?!?!?!?

[@a.mirandahsr]

Being Puerto Rican I remember the parade episode controversy, here in the Island it was found offensive as heck, that was way worse than this episode Ironic thing is many years later Seinfeld himself comes to the island to do a stand up show and he got a sold out lol

[@willramirez75]

Also, “guns are not funny” yet always sunny has one of the funniest recurring gun gags

[@JJLarge]

Most controversial lost episode is where jerry seinfeld dated a teenager

[@thequinlanshow3326]

These comments are funnier than anything Seinfeld has ever said in his life. Really sad when you name a show after the worst part of it by far.

[@1970DAH]

2:57 The flash of a scene from _Murphy Brown_ actually has Michael Richards (Kramer) in it.

[@imaginarymask]

It was an episode from Seinfeld where Kramer gets a job on the show

I notice the suicide episode isnt played on comedy central.

[@BananaBanditos]

What a self-inflicted buzzkill.

[@frances9975]

Which one is the suicide episode?

[@jared338]

S3 ep15. His neighbor tries to commit suicide and his girlfriend goes after Jerry.

[@0neDoomedSpaceMarine]

What about the one where Newman goes postal?

[@keithtorgersen9664]

Makes me think of the lost episode of Mythbusters where allegedly the team (don't know which one) tested something for destructive power and the results were so horrifying that they destroyed all the tapes.

[@almonpista]

Jerry seriously thinks they can't make this show these days because it's too offensive but his cast amd crew were offended by a gun joke? IASIP Season 1, Episode 5: Gun Fever Season 9 episode 2: Gun Fever Too: Still Hot I loved Seinfeld but he's gotta get overhimself

[@davetarpley3740]

The voicemail episode is one of the best, in my opinion. Amazed theg wrote it so damn fast. It's actually paced well, which can't have all been there in the unused SNL sketch.

[@clayhackney3514]

Im surprised but also not at how lame they all are about guns

[@HowardHello]

I'm sure it's been pointed out a million times already, but I have to say it myself: I appreciate the use of the shopping mall theme from River City Ransom when you read ad copy.

[@tylertheguy3160]

This could definitely be an episode of Always Sunny.

[@MumsieGames]

Loving your work sir 🔥🔥🔥

[@whirlwind8361]

No, I didn't hear about the lost episode, but I did hear about jerry springer dating a 17 year old when he was 38... during that time.

[@volusian95]

Really cool how there was an appropriate image result for Jerry Seinfeld saying "pop-tarts" lol

[@marvincool3744]

Pulp Fiction proved that guns can be funny

[@0neDoomedSpaceMarine]

And how!

[@stevepensando2593]

The most offensive episode of Seinfeld is just the tamest episode of It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia

[@aaronperezsomarriba8504]

Comedy and the word innapropiate shouldn't go togheter

[@rathesungod4]

I just binge watched it last winter. I've watched while🎉🎉 it aired but didn't see it all. Anyway the final episode in court I thought "this is brilliant the judge is going to sentence them to be his butlers." I was shocked it doesnt .😂

[@talkgoodenglish7500]

This script seems really tame actually

[@Matt-md5yt]

I never heard of this one before thanks Whang

[@Hecatom]

But guns are funny 😂😂
