Seinfeld

I have never seen this before, but have starting watching it on 4OD. Am early on in series one.

 

I don’t mind the narrative bits but am not a fan of the stand up clips.

 

is this worth sticking with?

I really hate all the characters but have seen every episode several times because of a boy. Why are they all so fooking stupid ?? Why don't they ditch Kramer? It's infuriating!

Seinfeld is one of those comics that the internet hit hard, he used to do a lot of those "you ever wonder where the other sock goes" type of routines and these days people just google and find out you dropped it 

He really isn't. His standup is old school observational stuff and is now a bit naff. You could argue he helped create that genre, but it's a naff genre.

The TV show owes a lot to Larry David.

It's worth watching if only for the number of actors who appear in it before they became famous.

The stand up is crap but some of the episodes are hilarious.  I particularly like the one where his dentist (played by the guy in Breaking Bad) converts to Judaism.  That's up there with the Palestinian chicken episode in Curb.

Have you watched Scrubs recently Shooty. It doesn’t really stand the test of time

——————-

Lies. LIES. And/ or crazy talk. admittedly, it goes off the boil at about season 7 or 8, but the early seasons remain amazeballs

i suggest you undertake a period of deep introspection and revisit your major life choices. Good day to you.

Seinfeld is utterly shit, its one of those shows that demonstrates that many mericans have a very very odd idea of "funny". I think lots of people pretend its ace because they have invested years watching a dull shit boring shoe that people keep telling them is funny. 

 

Wibble does not like Seinfeld, to the point where he believes that anyone who does is deluding themselves

Wibble believes that animated GIFs are the epitomy of modern humour
