Tribute to Elaine Marie Benes

A small collection of our favorite Elaine moments from our favorite show of all time SEINFELD!!!!!!
Sit back, relax and enjoy....comedy at it's best!!!

[@MSYNGWIE12]

Don't watch this show on your phone with coffee in your mouth...still arguably the greatest sitcom ever

[@ef9794]

Julia Louis-Dreyfus doesn't get enough credit for how brilliant she is at physical comedy.

[@mikemondano3624]

As opposed to her metaphysical comedy?

[@BanjoSick]

Gets enough money instead.

[@mysilverscreendiary]

She's my favorite

[@rawdog42]

She could play a million different roles, but she will always be Elaine.

[@geminijohnson4019]

Agreed...Just like the man who played "Dan Fielding" from night court, that guy will forever be Dan Fielding to me.

There as never been a show like Seinfeld and there will never be anything to top it.

[@roulettegenie4379]

Bill Robaire Curb Your Enthusiasm is close.

[@shananika]

It’s interesting how the show is so dated yet it still holds up. It will hold up forever because human nature will never change. These characters spoke aloud the things many of us think but keep to ourselves. Seinfeld will always be relatable.

[@nainapant3321]

Yes u r right

[@jonpresley1163]

Curb and Sunny are on this level.

[@sheltiemomstefanie2564]

[@cfrench61995]

She is the best female sitcom character ever

[@MrAitraining]

100% agree and smart Seinfeld fans know Elaine was the best cast member. Esp as the series went on. her Delivery, facial expressions. Everything. Total package.

[@NikkiScatch84]

Agreed!!

[@Edubbplate]

Roseanne.

[@davenorth8922]

Simka - Taxi

[@ChubbyTeletubby]

True that. Elaine was quintessentially 90s. Quintessentially Seinfeld. And quintessentially WOMAN.

[@bcptbcpt]

"Boy, a little too much chlorine in that gene pool!" - one of those lines that would be the star in any other show, but in Seinfeld it's just another quick bit that goes by in a second. Genius.

[@TheRealFamespear]

Elaine was the best! Definitely my favorite character on the show. Played exceptionally by Julia.

She's my all-time favorite female in a sitcom!

Even before hipsters were a thing. Brilliant

[@pronkb000]

As I understand it that was how Kramer was described in an early critics' review of the show.

[@toastee3]

The actors on Seinfeld as demonstrated here by Julia, took the sitcom to a state of high art.

[@mikem7619]

To an unachievable level

[@rdoodoo2021]

True. This stuff is perfect.

[@MajellaRS]

Elaine dancing has to be one of the all time funniest comedy skits...

[@kathymyers7279]

MajellaRS "sweet fancy moses!"

[@Agent-vj3ns]

MajellaRS SARAH SILVERMAN WOULD'VE BEEN A MILLION TIMES BETTER. SHE'S NOT AFRAID TO BE THE JOKE. JULIA TURNED DIVA AND REFUSED TO DO THE LITTLE KICKS DANCE AGAIN BECAUSE OF "THE HUMILIATION" and "PEOPLE SAY YOU CAN'T FUCK IF YOU CAN'T DANCE" yes, she said that. WATCH THE INSIDE LOOKS ON THE DVDS. THE PRODUCERS, DIRECTORS AND FELLOW ACTORS HATED WORKING WITH HER. SHE'D FORGET HER LINES OR START LAUGHING, RUINING THE SCENE AND WASTING EVERYONE'S TIME. KRAMER DESPISED WORKING WITH HER. THE PRODUCER SAID SHE CAME RUNNING INTO THEIR OFFICE DURING A MEETING IN TEARS, BLUBBERING ABOUT HOW SHE DOESN'T GET THE GOOD LINES, STORIES OR MORE CAMERA TIME. WELL, THERE'S A REASON FOR THAT; JASON, MICHAEL AND EVEN JERRY ARE BETTER ACTORS (THEN AND NOW). BUT DUMB BITCH GOT HER WAY. SO YOU SEE ELAINE STORIES DRAWN OUT AND FLUFFED WITH FILLER GARBAGE. SHE'S A TERRIBLE ACTOR AND NEVER DESERVED TO BE ON ANY TV SHOW. SHE WAS FAT AS FUCK IN SEASON 7 AND 8 AND BLATANTLY PREGNANT. THEY SUGGESTED THE STORYLINE SLOWLY TURN TO HER GETTING FATTER AND HER IMMEDIATE REACTION WAS TO BURST INTO TEARS. SHE EVEN REFUSED TO DO HER MOST FAMOUS KICK DANCING AGAIN DUE TO THE EMBARRASSMENT; SEE, NOT A TRUE ACTOR. JULIA LOUIS-DREYFUS: A FUCKING UGLY HAS BEEN SOCCER MOM WITH NO COMEDIC SKILL WHATSOEVER. YOU NEARLY RUINED THE SHOW BITCH.

[@MrDantres]

You 'scream' too much. go take your pills.

[@arjr721]

MajellaRS it's like a full body dry heave. Lol

[@cocokai9661]

Sara Silverman? Are you serious? Sara Silverman isn't funny, never has been, never will be. She's just an obnoxious, nasally freak. You might as well have said Amy Schumer! They're basically the same person. Both unattractive, nasal talking, obnoxious bitches that some how got the reputation for being comedians.

[@BlueJay88]

"REPARATIONS!" Even in a video tribute to Elaine, George seems to make the moments with him the funniest of the bunch! God, what an iconic character!

[@keithbannister9271]

Funniest TV character since Deputy Barney Fife.....

[@broaddusmarines]

She was the glue to the show.

[@HH__09]

Nah George and Kramer were both far better

[@Danimal1177]

Whoever came up with that dance for Elaine was a comic genius.

[@12classics39]

Julia herself came up with it. She "auditioned" a few different bad dances for her mother and husband, and they unanimously voted on the dance she does in the finished episode.

[@jcee6886]

From simplicity came the most I've ever laughed at a sitcom scene... "is this gonna hurt?" "yes, very much".

I used to work in an ER, there were nurses there that had no idea about shrinkage!!! They honestly thought that all the guys they saw in the hospital were super small.

[@chucksolutions4579]

@Jeff Baker To be honest, the two I remember having this conversation were both frustratingly attractive. One was fairly mature and married so I don't know how she didn't know. The other was very... hot. Everything outside of nursing she was kind of a stereotypical babe idiot. Frankly I would very much trust her with my mother in an emergency, but with little else. I have known female doctors like that as well (not the specific shrinkage but being highly intelligent but still clueless about so much even in medicine, because they didn't have to learn about it. When you have to learn so much about such a broad subject, it is very hard to admit that lesser educated might know something worthwhile that you know nothing of. Typically today, it is the nurses that are more arrogant than doctors. Medical schools are hammering their students about being humble. Obviously this is just my experience, but the worst were the very senior nurses that honestly had earned respect but still never felt they got enough respect, no matter how much they were respected, if this makes sense? Nurses run hospitals not doctors. The only doctors that were really difficult were some of the young foreign (especially female) ones. I don't think they wanted to be though of as nurses! BTW my experience is an EMT, wilderness expedition medic, later military combat medic, Nurse and old ass Med Student.
