I've been watching so much fucking Seinfeld lately. One of the best I had forgotten = the one where Jerry/Elaine see George's dad on the street talking to a man (Larry David!) in a cape.

Michael Richards, the Ty Cobb of comedy.

M. V. (M.V.), Monday, 20 November 2006 17:04 (seventeen years ago) link

About 12 years ago, I was on the same flight as Michael Richards. He was a total ass and argued with the staff at both the ticket counter on board. I had a really hard time liking him after witnessing that.

Can't begin to say how much that sucks about Michael Richards. As Kramer he had me on the floor all the time, but this is certainly going to poison that well from now on. What a fucking dick.

Not that I'm in much a funny mood now, here's one of my favourite lines from the show:

Sometimes when I think you're the shallowest man I've ever met, you somehow manage to drain a little more out of the pool. (Elaine to Jerry)

8. As ignorant as Richards' comments were, TMZ is equally as ignorant to call these two men "African Americans" Did TMZ actually get these two men’s heritage?
Is it possible that there are black people who come from other places then Africa?

Would you call an African born male who has American citizenship that is white, an African American? No even though that is exactly what he is.

The whole "African American" moniker is a F-ing joke, and should stop being used.

4. When they were calling him a dumb cracker they opened the door for the comments.

12. Oh please! Blacks say worse about whites when they're up on the stage but let a white person say something and it's news. Ever listen to Chris Rock or whatever his stupid name is? What this guy say was nothing in comparison.

There was an op-ed in the paper just the other day, something like, "N Word Still Offensive." At the time I was like, "No shit? That's some piece of investigative journalism there." But maybe more people need to be reminded of this fact than I thought.

Noilly Prat (kenan), Monday, 20 November 2006 17:21 (seventeen years ago) link

14. Guys, that's NOT Michael Richards. The guy that was yelling back at him thought he was on Seinfeld for some reason. Its NOT him.

yeah i lol'd at that.

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.

Now I know why Kramer never had any black friends.

Hoosteen (Hoosteen), Monday, 20 November 2006 17:51 (seventeen years ago) link

One of my favorite Kramer lines (when switched to boxers for sperm count issues): "I'M FLIPPIN AND I'M FLOPPIN".

What about Jackie Chiles?

Is it too soon to start quoting from Seinfeld again after the Richards Rant? ;)

Just saw this one:

"George, his wife's in a coma."

Mr. Snrub (Mr. Snrub), Wednesday, 22 November 2006 02:52 (seventeen years ago) link

KRAMER: Jerry. Uh, can we talk?

GEORGE: Kinda busy here.

KRAMER: I'd like to talk to Jerry in private.

GEORGE: Why can't I stay?

KRAMER: Because it doesn't concern you.

GEORGE: Well, if it doesn't concern me, then I can stay.
(Kramer then grabs the back of George's chair, drags him out into the hallway and closes the door.)

George: "Instead of an apology, he was beboppin' and scattin' all over me."

one year passes...

[Setting: Puddy’s office]

(Jerry and George are in conference)

JERRY: (Threatening tone) So, listen, Puddy. When we first started this deal, I thought things were gonna be different. Now, if you want to play hard ball, I got my friend, George, here, and he can play pretty hard.. ball. (Leaving the negotiation to George) George, vein it up.

GEORGE: Alright, Puddy, listen, and listen good: I need to know the name of that mechanic that walks around here. Big guy, a liar. Short name. Sam? Moe? Sol?!

JERRY: George! Can we focus on the car, here?

GEORGE: I’m starving! I can feel my stomach sucking up against my spine.

PUDDY: (Handing a sheet of paper to Jerry) Jerry, I just need your signature, here, and we’ll get you that yellow car ready to go.

JERRY: Yellow? I wanted black.

PUDDY: I can’t give you black at that price.

JERRY: (Pleading) George, could you help me, please?

GEORGE: (Standing up) Yes. This is wrong!

JERRY: Sing it, sister!

GEORGE: Just because a candy bar fails to fall from its perch..!

JERRY: (Exasperated) Uhhh..

GEORGE: (Losing it) ..does not imply transfer of ownership. Moe, Sol, or… Lem is not gonna get away with this!

Mr. Que, Monday, 3 November 2008 21:18 (fifteen years ago) link

George: I can't believe you're hoarding sex moves. I'm out there rubbing two sticks together. You walk around with a zippo.

Ant Attack.. (Ste), Monday, 3 November 2008 21:40 (fifteen years ago) link

Fusilli Jerry is one of my favourite episodes...

Geroge's mum: I'm out there, George.
George: You're not out there.
Mum:I am too.
George: You're not out there. You can't be because I am out there. And if I see you out there there's not enough voltage in this world to electro-shock me back into coherence.

Kramer: It's Fusilli Jerry! It's made from fusilli pasta. See the microphone?
Jerry: When did you do this?
Kramer:In my spare time. You know, I'm working on one of you George. I'm using ravioli. See, the hard part is to find a pasta that captures the individual.
Jerry: Why fusilli?
Kramer: Because you're silly. Get it?

Jerry: (to George) I don't even want to talk about it anymore. What were you thinking? What was going on in your mind? Artistic integrity. Where, where did you come up with that? 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.

also biting into a hunk of cheese like it's an apple.

Well, let me tell you something, funny boy. Y'know that little stamp, the one that says "New York Public Library"? Well that may not mean anything to you, but that means a lot to me. One whole hell of a lot. Sure, go ahead, laugh if you want to. I've seen your type before: Flashy, making the scene, flaunting convention. Yeah, I know what you're thinking. 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! Or: maybe that turns you on, Seinfeld; maybe that's how y'get your kicks. You and your good-time buddies. Well I got a flash for ya, joy-boy: Party time is over. Y'got seven days, Seinfeld. That is one week!

Jerry: Ah, you're crazy.
Cosmo Kramer: Am I? Or am I so sane that you just blew your mind?
Jerry: It's impossible.
Cosmo Kramer: Is it? Or is it so possible that your head is spinning like a top?
Jerry: It can't be.
Cosmo Kramer: Can't it? Or is your entire world just crashing down all around you?
Jerry: All right, that's enough.

That Philip Baker Hall speech was the high point of the entire SERIES, practically. (Along with Elaine's frenzied attempt to pack a suitcase and get to the airport in 20 minutes.)

George Costanza: Someday, before I die, mark my words... I'm gonna tell that woman exactly what I think of her. I'll never be able to forgive myself until I do.
Jerry: And if you do?
George Costanza: Well, I still won't be able to forgive myself, but at least it won't be about this

Cosmo Kramer: You're wasting your life.
George Costanza: I am not. What you call wasting, I call living. I'm living my life.
Cosmo Kramer: OK, like what? No, tell me. Do you have a job?
George Costanza: No.
Cosmo Kramer: You got money?
George Costanza: No.
Cosmo Kramer: Do you have a woman?
George Costanza: No.
Cosmo Kramer: Do you have any prospects?
George Costanza: No.
Cosmo Kramer: You got anything on the horizon?
George Costanza: Uh, no.
Cosmo Kramer: Do you have any action at all?
George Costanza: No.
Cosmo Kramer: Do you have any conceivable reason for even getting up in the morning?
George Costanza: I like to get the Daily News.

George Costanza: So I'm the bad boy. I've never been the bad boy before.
Jerry: Why not? You've been the bad employee, the bad son, the bad friend...

George Costanza: OK, the point is made.
Jerry: The bad date, the bad sport, the bad citizen...

George Costanza: A beautiful, successful, intelligent woman is in love with me and I throw it all away. Now I will spend the rest of my life living alone. I'll sit in my disgusting little apartment, watching basketball games, eating Chinese takeout, walking around with no underwear because I'm too lazy to do the laundry.
Jerry: You walk around with no underwear.
George Costanza: Yeah, what do you do when you run out of laundry?
Jerry: I do a wash.

I just love that part of the library cop speech, but the whole things dynamite especially with Baker-Halls hand motions.
