George: I'm sorry the card says "Moops."

I don't remember the Kramer slicer assumption, but it sounds like it was borrowing from The Third Policeman.

Alba (Alba), Friday, 5 May 2006 11:23 (eighteen years ago) link

From the cockfighting episode (which is brilliant all the way): Jerry used a clown-cheque in a bodega, which was so old it bounced. The owner of the bodega then put it up the register, to shame Jerry.

Jerry: "Come on Marcelino, I paid you fifty dollar already. Can't you take down the cheque?"
Marcelino: "Ehno, sorry, estore-policy."
Jerry: "But it's *your* store!"
Marcelino: "Even I am not above estore-policy."

From the last episode, some Kramer gold:

Jerry: Hey - how was the beach?
Kramer: Oh, you missed it, buddy - lot of femininas - some major femininas!

Kramer: You're moving to California?
Jerry: Yeah, only for a while.
Kramer: Yeah, but Jerry, what happens if the show's a hit? You could be out there for years! You might never come back.
Jerry: No, I'll be back.
Kramer: Jerry. It's L.A, nobody leaves. She's a seductress, she's a siren, she's a virgin, she's a who-ooorreeee!

"Or is that how you get your kicks? you and yer good-time buddies"

Ste (Fuzzy), Friday, 5 May 2006 12:05 (eighteen years ago) link

and i haven't seen the bizarro jerry either, but looking at the script it sounds incredible...

JERRY

All right. How 'bout this one: let's say you're abducted by aliens.

GEORGE

Fine.

JERRY

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?

GEORGE

I gotta go zoo. I feel like I could set more of my own schedule.

JERRY

But in the circus you get to ride around in the train, see the whole planet!

GEORGE

I'm wearin' a little hat, I'm jumpin' through fire.. They're puttin' their little alien heads in my mouth..

JERRY

[resigned] At least it's show business..

GEORGE

But in the zoo, you know, they might, put a woman in there with me to uh.. you know, get me to mate.

JERRY

What if she's got no interest in you?

GEORGE

Then I'm pretty much where I am now. At least I got to take a ride on a spaceship.

Ste (Fuzzy), Friday, 5 May 2006 12:11 (eighteen years ago) link

Nice game, Pretty Boy.

Ohhh, you've got sooo much good stuff coming to you in the last three seasons, Ste!

Gerard (Gerard), Friday, 5 May 2006 12:41 (eighteen years ago) link

this is my favorite show

i know i can't wait! xp

Do we know when the next season dvd is coming out?

"Can I say one thing to you? And I say this with an unblemished record of staunch heterosexuality..........It's fabulous"

Ste (Fuzzy), Friday, 5 May 2006 14:26 (eighteen years ago) link

and one more before I go home, from The Fire episode:

GEORGE (voice is hoarse from screaming): I...was trying to lead the way. We needed a leader! Someone to lead the way to safety.

ROBIN: But you yelled "get out of my way"!

GEORGE: Because! Because, as the leader...if I die...then all hope is lost! Who would lead? The clown? Instead of castigating me, you should all be thanking me. What kind of a topsy-turvy world do we live in, where heroes are cast as villains? Brave men as cowards?

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. Any other questions?

FIREMAN: How do you live with yourself?

GEORGE: Its not easy.

Ste (Fuzzy), Friday, 5 May 2006 14:42 (eighteen years ago) link

six months pass...
Woops.

I was looking for a thread to post that in.

i always hated michael richards

anticon jemima (ooo), Monday, 20 November 2006 16:33 (seventeen years ago) link

I have a feeling that Michael Richard's Apocalyptica will not make it to theaters now.

I never liked Seinfeld in general.

Alex in SF (Alex in SF), Monday, 20 November 2006 16:36 (seventeen years ago) link

u suck

jerry seinfeld is a legend in the hood

anticon jemima (ooo), Monday, 20 November 2006 16:37 (seventeen years ago) link

Good for Jerry Seinfeld. I hope he can parlay that into a career somehow.

Alex in SF (Alex in SF), Monday, 20 November 2006 16:39 (seventeen years ago) link

Seinfeld's great but man talk about a wtf.

anticon jemima (ooo), Monday, 20 November 2006 16:40 (seventeen years ago) link

So he's either 1) on drugs or alcohol, and that finally let his real feelings slip out, or 2) people have been covering for him for a looooong time.

deej.. (deej..), Monday, 20 November 2006 16:40 (seventeen years ago) link

holy crap. That's a tirade, alright.

Noilly Prat (kenan), Monday, 20 November 2006 16:40 (seventeen years ago) link

Yikes. I saw him at a cafe a few months ago, and he seemed cordial, but I also wouldn't be surprised if he was a giant asshole.

jaymc (jaymc), Monday, 20 November 2006 16:45 (seventeen years ago) link

that's a shame

Ste (Fuzzy), Monday, 20 November 2006 16:46 (seventeen years ago) link

Oh I think this video pretty much proves without a doubt that he's a giant asshole.

Alex in SF (Alex in SF), Monday, 20 November 2006 16:47 (seventeen years ago) link

haha yeah that about sums it up!

deej.. (deej..), Monday, 20 November 2006 16:47 (seventeen years ago) link

That's a crazy disservice to giant assholes who don't happen to be rampantly racist.

Pamplaxico Polancobon (Andy_K), Monday, 20 November 2006 16:51 (seventeen years ago) link

"Bob Patterson" = no longer the worst thing to come out post-Seinfeld

deej.. (deej..), Monday, 20 November 2006 16:55 (seventeen years ago) link

He's pretty obviously an asshole in the documentary material on the Seinfeld DVDs, too. There's all kinds of stores about him blowing up and throwing vitriolic fits of rage, like almost on a daily basis, at the other actors for cracking up in the middle of scenes.

hahahahahahahaha, great screen names throughout history

stoked for the madness (nickalicious), Monday, 20 November 2006 17:00 (seventeen years ago) link

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.

stoked for the madness (nickalicious), Monday, 20 November 2006 17:01 (seventeen years ago) link

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.

ENBB (expatrica), Monday, 20 November 2006 17:09 (seventeen years ago) link

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.

See other predjudiced stars!

anticon jemima (ooo), Monday, 20 November 2006 17:46 (seventeen years ago) link

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:
