i remembered the communist element well, but didnt remember what episode it was from u til now...i remembered the race episode, obviously, its so epic for a seinfeld episode, but forgot these two aspects were thrown together, ha, great episode...back when u could mock communism and get it on the air

A testament to how successful the show was, they could afford to license the actual Superman theme. Most shows would've just made their own style parody in place of it.

It's a good line, but the best line? Nah. To each their own of course.

[@fishjj76]

@TrusteftReacts I'm a political science nerd. I also love the line in "The Limo" episode in which George reads his speech, and Jerry says, "You're not going to open with that, are you"?

[@TrusteftReacts]

@@fishjj76 I am a graduate of International Politics and Strategic Studies, I still don't love the line. :) As for The Limo. Yeah that's a good one. Though again not my favorite from that episode. I prefer Jerry's "Nah, No one's ever been shot in the city!".

[@wampa25]

He did it in The Understudy. Talked directly to the camera.

[@jvvoid]

No, there was one episode where he wished he could tell someone to their face that their stage act sucked. Can't remember the episode name but he did it as he was walking out of his apartment, holding the door, straight to camera.

[@MLennholm]

He looked directly at the camera on a few occasions in the first season, but I don't think that counts as breaking the fourth wall, just his inexperience as an actor at the time

[@scottythetrex5197]

The first two years aren't very funny.

[@rmccombs66]

I've been saying the same thing, but i don't think they read the comments, or they don't care what we think.

[@GoddessKelly]

This is my second favorite Seinfeld episode of all time! The first one is The Marine Biologist. I love how this episode really shows Jerry’s love for Superman. From the original 1978 Superman movie theme music, to Jerry, wearing red and blue throughout the episode, a character named Lois and the whole arch enemy nemesis thing going on, this episode is hilarious! And even George gets to live out his dream of being an architect, by throwing out that lie out there. Hey, in The Marine Biologist, he got to be a marine biologist, so that funny trend of lying about what you do for work is a continuing theme for George in this episode. I think you guys should see the whole series in its entirety. I think you’ll enjoy it so much more and get all the different Easter eggs in the future episodes.

[@jaysonchrzanowski9230]

Hopefully you guys noticed the "Do not deliver" list on the wall at the Chinese food place when she calls! She's definitely on the list!!

[@zoluhwa3508]

[@efraserify]

Ahaha yes the daily upload! I can relate to this episode! When I got my first job at mcdonalds I applied with my friend. They interviewed both of us and we had to pretend we didn't know each other (That store had a policy about applying with friends). We both got the job and kept it secret for months. They found out but by then it was too late to get rid of us 😝

[@x_trio_3_po333]

Speaking of Kramer, there's an episode where he himself is in a Marathon. I think it may have been called "The Ribbon".

[@wampa25]

It was called The Sponge. And Kramer took part in an AIDS walk.

[@x_trio_3_po333]

@wampa25 oh yeah! Thanks! I think he only looked like he had ran a marathon. I really don't recall anything about a "sponge", but each episode has multiple story lines. Oh yeah, now I remember! A certain character was desperately looking for some "Sponges". I won't say who or why.

[@DelahozJ]

With the Puerto Ricans 😂

[@x_trio_3_po333]

Now I remember. There was a Marathon, only it involved an African-American acquaintance (or perhaps just an African) and he stayed with Jerry to sleep over prior to the big race. Kramer was a spectator at the Race. And that is all I will say about that.

Reliving these episodes with you guys is bringing me great joy...long may it continue!

The scene where Jerry is first explaining the race was also depicted as a Seinamation short, worth checking out.

The whole "Blacklist" joke was referencing the McCarthy era in the 1950s (The start of the Cold War between the US & USSR). Joseph McCarthy would hold Senate committee hearings to weed-out left leaning high profile figures he suspected of being communist, these people would be forced by law to attend the hearings and admit publicly if they were communist or not and to "Name Names" (Other individuals they know who are secretly communist too). Whether you were communist or not, if you were named in this committee hearing you were put on a List (Blacklisted) and shunned out of public life and keeping your job. Many Actors, Producers, Directors and Writers in Hollywood got Blacklisted (Never to work again). Its a pretty dark period in history to make a joke about but its Seinfeld and 40yrs later lol. Sorry for the long winded comment.

It was the House Un-American Activities Committee who investigated Hollywood for communist infiltration. Senator McCarthy went after government officials who were suspected of being communists.
