True, it's like an insidious drug that doesn't get you high until you're addicted...."I smoked it once and didn't feel anything..." It may be that Seinfeld isn't funny in one dose but has an intertexuatlity requirement for appreciation. You don't laugh at what was said today, but because what was said today comments on what was said in all the previous episodes (which, as an addict, you have naturally seen). This effect continues unbroken through Larry David's Curb Your Enthusiasm which is utterly cruel and unfunny until you realize that it's from the Seinfeld creator and he's doing Seinfeld over again with a harder edge. Seinfeld hardly needs Jerry, he's never funny. Larry David is funny...or not.

Its a parody of the song "Walking on Air", which I wouldn't ever describe as synthpop.
The deal with the stand-up bits is that the show debutted during the early 90s standup fad, and the gimmick was the "its part stand up comedy, part sit-com!" They gradually phased out the standup bits, and with good cause.

In one episode there's a scene with George visiting his mother in the hospital. (This must be "The Contest." She comes home unexpectedly to find him masturbating and falls down in shock. George relating this story leads to the bet.) After the bet he's visiting his mother and in the next bed a beautiful female patient is being given a sponge bath by a beautiful nurse. George has already made the bet so it's killing him, but he can't ignore it. In a later episode (probably the one mentioned above where he gets a massage from the masseur and is wondering if he's gay), he visits his mom again in a similar hospital room but this time a hunky male patient is getting a sponge bath from a hunky male nurse, and he again can't ignore it, though it's giving him all sorts of inner conflict.

"Not that there's anything wrong with that!" - and moving your hands apart in a flat gesture at the same time.
Also:George when being fired because he selpt with the cleaning lady:"Was that ... wrong?"
Seinfeld is often praised for its dialogue, but I also think that the acting and the little schticks are a very important reason why the series is so lovable. E.g. George and Jerry's "tolerant" gay hand gesture, Jerrys near-inability to actually act, his high-pitched voice, the bit where Elaine cringes and almost breaks down because John-John is not at the gym, George's pauses, Kramer's clumsiness etc. I never fancied Kramer's door entrée much, though. Too staged.

Fine.
They haul you aboard the mother ship, take you back to their planet as a curiosity. Now: would you rather be in their zoo, or their circus?
I gotta go zoo. I feel like I could set more of my own schedule.
But in the circus you get to ride around in the train, see the whole planet!

ROBIN: But I saw you push the women and children out of the way in a mad panic! I saw you knock them down! And when you ran out, you left everyone behind!
GEORGE: Seemingly. Seemingly, to the untrained eye, I can fully understand how you got that impression. What looked like pushing...what looked like knocking down...was a safety precaution! In a fire, you stay close to the ground, am I right? And when I ran out that door, I was not leaving anyone behind! Oh, quite the contrary! I risked my life making sure that exit was clear.

But wow, though. He clearly gets a little nervous and tries to play it off at the end with, "See? Still, these words! These words!" The initial "50 years ago" bit kind of seals the deal though. These are probably his actual feelings.

You're not artistic and you have no integrity. You know, you really need some help, and a regular psychiatrist couldn't even help you. You need to go to, like, Vienna or something. You know what I mean? You need to get involved at the University level, like where Freud studied, and have all those people looking at you and checking up on you. That's the kind of help you need. Not the once a week for eighty bucks, no. You need a team, a team of psychiatrists working around the clock, thinking about you, having conferences, observing you, like the way they did with the Elephant Man. That's what I'm talkin about, 'cause that's the only way you're gonna get better.

What's this guy making such a big stink about old library books? Well, let me give you a hint, junior. Maybe we can live without libraries, people like you and me. Maybe. Sure, we're too old to change the world, but what about that kid, sitting down, opening a book, right now, in a branch at the local library and finding drawings of pee-pees and wee-wees on the Cat in the Hat and the Five Chinese Brothers? Doesn't HE deserve better? Look. If you think this is about overdue fines and missing books, you'd better think again. This is about that kid's right to read a book without getting his mind warped!

I had an idea for a thread inspired by the Dirty Lyrics/Double Entendres you didn't get as a kid, but understand as an adult thread but I'll just put it here:
Seinfeld lines/references that you didn't get as a kid but now understand. I watched the show from a young age and there are often some pretty highbrow/obscure references, but most of the ones I didn't get aren't so highbrow, but rather outdated/NY-based/Jewish stuff that was unknown to me growing up in Northern CA. Por ejemplo:The "hair in my farina" traumatic experience that Jerry remembers freaking out about when they're waiting for the babka (Still not sure exactly what a babka is). I remember thinking it was maybe some dirty reference I didn't get, but Farina is like a Cream of Wheat-type breakfast cereal.I also remember not knowing WTF they were talking about in the Frogger episode-I missed the beginning and I was like "What's a fraga??"

this is bizarro Newman: http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0489052/

Seinfeld lines/references that you didn't get as a kid but now understand. I watched the show from a young age and there are often some pretty highbrow/obscure references, but most of the ones I didn't get aren't so highbrow, but rather outdated/NY-based/Jewish stuff that was unknown to me growing up in Northern CA...

one of my favourite observations from Seinfeld was his office colleagues greetings bit, and how after you've greeted the same person several times in one day you're eventually running out of ways of saying hello, so you end up greeting them with funny nicknames.

I was handcuffed to the bed, in my underwear, where I remained... She certainly seemed interested in me and though she was attractive, she was also in fact, a Nazi... The water I had been swimming in was very cold, and when I dropped the towel there had been significant shrinkage... Her parents were looking at me. So there I was, with a marble rye hanging from the end of a fishing pole.
In closing, these stories have not been embellished because they need no embellishment. They are simply, horrifyingly the story of my life as a short, stocky, slow-witted, bald man. Thank you.
