I did one of these six months ago
[1], and enjoyed the dialogue so much, I thought weโd do it again.Last week, we finished our fourth season of my web series called Comedians in Cars Getting Coffee, and today weโre launching a between-the-seasons confection weโre calling Single Shots. Itโs mini-episodes with multiple guests around a single topic. Weโll do one each week until we come back for Season 5 in the Fall.
We just loaded the first one, called โDonutsโ onto the site (http://comediansincarsgettingcoffee.com/). Itโs about two minutes long, and features Tina Fey, Sarah Silverman, Alec Baldwin and Brian Regan.
I'm in Long Island, and as she did last time, Victoria with reddit is facilitating.
Ok, Iโm ready. Go ahead. Ask me anything.

What was the process for casting George's girlfriend in The Cartoon? Was the casting call "Women who look like Jerry Seinfeld"?

Cursance ยท 17 points ยท Posted at 01:02:12 on July 25, 2014 ยท (Permalink)
The gist is that George dates a woman whose face looks a lot like Jerry. Everyone sees it but George refuses to cause it would be weird. Eventually, she has to cut her hair and she looks exactly like Jerry.

I remember reading in the newspaper at the time there was a casting call for female Jerry Seinfeld look-alikes. Now, it was a long time ago so I may be remembering this wrong- but I recall this occurred roughly around the same time that the finale was becoming a big 'thing' - and so the article seemed to imply this may have something to do with the finale. In the end, it did not.

My parents didn't keep too many books around (moved a lot) but Seinlanguage was one of 'em. It was there for a year or two before my 11 y.o. self noticed it and started reading. I think in hindsight many of the jokes went over my head...but I still enjoyed it. The bit about the cigarette company's life-time bash or something...and he's like 'I think there's gonna be a few empty seats at that party'...god, I think I had to hold in my pee.

Sort of unrelated, but you just reminded me of this thing I read about how humans evolved to track the direction of each other's eyes as opposed to tracking the direction of heads (which is why the whites of our eyes are so big compared to other animals). So this makes total sense from an evolutionary standpoint.

My dad is left-handed/ambidextrous. He says its because when he was a kid he was practically forced to do things right-handed until he was older and they realized he was a lefty. Is that what happened to you?

Wait, hold on hold on. Cut, cut, cut. Are you actually ambidextrous, as in you can do things equally well with both hands, or are you simply mixed-handed and you do some tasks better with your left hand and some tasks better with your right hand?

First of all, thank you for providing me a lifetime of entertainment.

My girlfriend's uncle donated his old work van to kars 4 kids and got a phone call from the NYPD about 2 months later letting him know that his van was involved in a robbery. They assumed it had been stolen (since it was registered to him in a different state) and asked if he wanted to come pick it up. He told them he had donated it to the kids and that was the end of it.

Yeah, I remember reading about a lot of baseball players, Wade Boggs, I think a lot of athletes have very careful preparation routines that they do before a game. And all comedians are kind of the same, there are a lot of similarities actually between comedy and baseball. It's something you can do every day, and you have a routine that you need to do to get you in the right mental place to do it.

I can see a man Andre's size tripling my intake. I mean it's fucking Herculean but I can imagine it. He was at least 500 lbs. Some people say more like 6. Plenty of people vouch for him polishing off cases per hour many different times. He was the Zeus of alkies.

He said that number has been inflated over the years. And thats not a routine thats just man with a moustache and a penchant for drinking. But still he was a well known superstitious ball player.These everyday customs including eating a bucket of chicken before each game (earning him the nickname "Chicken Man"), always taking batting practice at 5:17 and running sprints at 7:17 and drawing the word "Chai" (Hebrew for "life") in the dirt before coming up to bat. He also would visualize 4 at bats before each game, and then visualize getting four hits. Every night, before every game of his amazing career.

The article says it's "maybe 50 beers" and that number is probably itself inflated. So we're looking at 40 or so beers over a whole day's span, not just the flight itself. Still heroic but not insane like 60+ beers on a flight would be.

Two words: David Boone
For the uninitiated: On a flight between London and Sydney for the 1989 Ashes series, legendary Australian Cricketer David Boone, known as "the keg on legs", set a staggering (and reportedly we'll-documented) in-flight drinking record - 52 cans of full strength beer between Sydney and London.

Well, in the hospital I work at I have met many case-a-day alcoholics (24 beers) coming in for detox. I think the quantity of fluid rather than the alcohol becomes a limiting factor, as I've also talked to a handful patients that certainly approached or exceeded 50 standard drinks (1.5 oz) of liquor per day. It is possible with a huge tolerance. But for the average drinker? No - that would put you very close to death.

Standup comedians and television actors both need to be acutely aware of timing as they execute their professions - not just "comedic timing," but stuff like "this bit takes around three and a half minutes, so I'm usually around here by the fifteen-minute mark." Do you think that having that developed awareness has had side effects on how you perceive these other tasks in your life?
I drove buses for a few years and had to be acutely aware of where I was in relation to a minute-to-minute timetable. I really found it affected the way I unconsciously timed tasks out of work situations, too.

I love this because it drives me crazy when people use the length of time they are working as the main indicator of how much work they do. In reality, it just means they have poor time management skills. This proves that some of the most successful people are the ones who don't stay up until 3 am working every night, but rather the ones who use their time wisely and get a lot done with the time they have.

Gamblers fallacy is based on pure random chance, after a crash most airlines would begin taking greater precautions.
If an engine falls off a plane, you can bet every airline is going to be double checking the bolts on every one of their planes afterwards.

Actually that is what is known as the gamblers fallacy. A lot of craps player play the same way: "oh this shooter hasn't rolled a yo in 10 rolls, it's time."
When in fact the odds of a number coming up are the same regardless of what has been rolled previously.

Hi Jerry! What is your most memorable scene from Seinfeld that had to be re-shot the most because everybody kept laughing?
๐๏ธ _Seinfeld ยท 2199 points ยท Posted at 17:18:14 on July 24, 2014 ยท (Permalink)
When Frank Costanza, George's father, said to Elaine "Do you want a piece of me?" when he thought that she wanted to have a fistfight. That one, we had to do over and over because nobody could stop laughing. Every time Jerry Stiller would say "Do you want a piece of me?" we had to stop.

Julia was actually a very practiced comedian at the time, after coming from Second City and SNL, so I bet she held her own pretty well.
That being said, how could you not laugh with those people in the same room?

Just from watching the clip episode or "first 100" I saw last it looked like the exchange between you and Michael Richards in Kramer's doorway while he's playing cards and drinking all night was amazing. When actors break character and can't contain their laughter is one of the best gifts we get as the viewer!

George is looking to buy a new home. He is sitting on the bus across from Jerry, texts jerry "check out that homo next to you" in reference to the house outside the window.

I should actually edit this scenario. A better one would be George is on the bus alone, and he texts Jerry - "check out this homo, I'll send you a picture." He then takes a picture of the home out the window (from the opposite side of the bus) but it looks as though he's taking a picture of the flamboyantly dressed man in the seat across from him. The realtor would either be sitting next to, or behind george. He would've read the text and saw George trying to take a picture. Or maybe the realtor is the flamboyantly dressed man (who's gay or not, doesn't matter), sees George trying to take a picture of what he thinks is himself, grabs the phone to stop him and sees the text where it says 'homo' and as the man gets off the bus George yells "Nooooo! I meant home! I meant HOOOMMMEEE!!!"

An Israeli girl I once met sent me a text shortly after we parted ways, had a funny way of spelling English words. Implored me to "ask to taste the homos" in Jaffa, still not sure if she meant "hummus" or if I should feel insulted.

Well all Hebrew words have to be transliterated into English. There isn't really a "correct" spelling of the word. (Although maybe you could argue that hummus is now a full fledged English word with a defined spelling).

Elaine gets a new job for a very rich boss. The boss has a holiday party in his very huge house, and he happens to have an extremely flamboyant son as well...Elaine takes out her phone to text Jerry about how "he's (her boss) got this huge homo that everyone just loves, but I'm really not into it." And of course someone sees the text

What do you think would surprise the average person about being famous?
๐๏ธ _Seinfeld ยท 878 points ยท Posted at 17:16:01 on July 24, 2014 ยท (Permalink)
That's a good question. I don't know if the average person would like it. I really like it. I think it might surprise them that the advantages far outweigh the disadvantages. I think most people think of it as a problem, but it's all in how you look at it. But I do think that's the case, you get a lot more than it costs you in privacy invasion or whatever. I think people know a lot about being famous these days. When I first became well-known in the '90s, the world, the celebrity world was not as explored as it is now. Now you can really see these people and how they live, and so I don't know how much would be surprising. I'll tell you what: there's a lot of vulnerability to it. You are much more vulnerable to certain things, along with these advantages there are also some great vulnerabilities.

MoonSpider ยท 8 points ยท Posted at 22:22:02 on July 24, 2014 ยท (Permalink)*
Well ideally you don't, really. Posing for photos is annoying even though people are usually polite, and they don't actually owe you anything for your twitter page. Treat them like a human being you're having a quick conversation with, not like a curiosity you spotted on display at the zoo. If you're in public and you bust out your iPhone and start lining up a selfie, it'll draw attention and suddenly everyone else thinks they should get a photo, too, and what started as a pleasant moment between you and a person you're a fan of becomes an ordeal for them. They deal with enough of that as it is, wouldn't you rather be the person who let them know that people appreciate what they do and then let them continue on with their day?

MoonSpider ยท 6 points ยท Posted at 00:41:49 on July 25, 2014 ยท (Permalink)*
I know you're joking, but there are people that do think like this. For them, seriously, what's more important: having a good interaction with a person you're a fan of, or the superficial attention you might get from the likes on a photo on your chosen social network? Do you get excited about the prospect of meeting a celebrity because you get to talk to someone who's involved with things that you really like, or do you get excited because of the second-hand social clout you might receive for proving that you stood near someone "well-known"? Only one of those motivations requires you get a picture for evidence and validation. Who gives a crap if other people can verify that you met one of your heroes? The important thing is that you met them and acknowledged them. If the only reason you might go up to a celebrity is so that you can have a photo with them to show people (and not because you want to thank them, congratulate them, or talk to them) then it's better for both of you that you leave them alone.
If someone's at a signing event or a convention, sure, get a picture with them. But if you run into them at the grocery store or when they're eating dinner at a restaurant, don't force them into an interaction that only benefits you.

As a British person, that's pretty much exactly how I would interact with a celebrity anyway. I can't actually imagine anything else.
Except I would probably have a comment about the weather as well, "it's very mild for the time of year, you picked a good time to visit Doncaster", something inoffensive but interesting and informative (to British people) like that.

Well, if it's really that difficult for you to imagine how else a British person might interact with a celebrity, here's Stephen's counter-example of a much more common and tiresome interaction. I'm glad your instinct is to be considerate, but you don't get a pass on courtesy "as a British person;" there are considerate people and boorish people in every country:

Yea, because people with behavior disorders and illnesses aren't real people, right? And they've never been worth listening too, right? You can fuck right off with that attitude.
He's an insightful writer and a great thinker, his emotional struggles have nothing to do with the relevance and accuracy of his comments on how to be polite in certain social situations.

Wo wo wo, easy there. I never said "people with behavior disorders and illnesses aren't real people". I do believe that due to the illness, what he says may not reflect what a typical famous person would say or do - which is what this question is about. Let's not take this out of context. I am not trying to be insensitive or rude here.
MoonSpider ยท 1 points ยท Posted at 20:21:55 on July 25, 2014 ยท (Permalink)*
I don't care what you're trying to do, you ARE being insensitive and rude by bringing up his depression as if it invalidates what he's saying. "Take what he says with a grain of salt, because he's one of those depressed suicidal people" is a really inappropriate line of thought.
Stephen is a famous person, who is quite smart. He's perfectly qualified to comment on what it's like to interact with a famous person. And if you'd bothered to read the article, you'd see that he prefaces the entire thing with it being a discussion of his particular fame, not everybody's individual fame. Hence why I'd ask Jerry if he had a different ideal fan encounter.

A lot of people ask this. And yes, he was absolutely genuinely terrified by that car. Check it out - I took him for a drive in an Austin Healey 3000, which is a very unsafe old car, and he did not like it. It was one of my first episodes but it's a classic, because he kept asking me - and the more scared he got, the more it made me laugh, and it's a good one. http://comediansincarsgettingcoffee.com/ricky-gervais-mad-man-in-a-death-machine

Jerry, I just came up with an idea for the fifth season. It's an international version. You choose five or six countries/continents you want to go to, find the best local comedian, and you drive local vehicles whilst drinking the local caffeinated beverage. The first episode could be from London, and would be aptly titled, "Comedians in Cars Drinking Tea." There, from the other side of the road, you could scare Ricky a second time (which is what the people really want).

Gay here,
When you asked him "Do you think we look gay?"
the answer to that question is yes. Not to straight people, but if a gay guy had observed you the first thing they'd have thought was,
"I wonder who the top is?"

I'm pretty sure cable channels collude to ensure that there is never a timeslot in which Seinfeld isn't playing somewhere.

As someone who was old enough to watch Seinfeld as original episodes aired but never watched anything but the seasons that were already in syndication, I was always aware of the overal character arcs and was able to put them together.
Then when the DVDs came out 10 years ago I re-watched the series in order. It's actually quite rewarding to see how many jokes built upon each other throughout the series, in addition to the character arcs.

"What I want, when I want" means this, to me:
Is it on Netflix? Cool. Watch it.
Is it on Amazon Prime? Cool. Watch it.
Is it available to rent or buy on Amazon streaming? Cool. Pay for it and watch it.
Is it on Hulu? Cool. Watch it.
Is it on the piratebay? Cool. Torrent it and watch it in about an hour.
Not available via any of those methods? Fuck it, I'll go outside, instead.
There will never be a time where I'm willing to deal with cable. It's simply not the way I want to consume TV; the inconvenience and cost of it, combined with the evil of the cable industry itself, adds up to me preferring not to watch something at all than to watch it on cable.

You're right but I have a sneaking suspicion it will never end up that way. Many of the companies that own those tv stations and cable providers also own the ISPs. It doesn't matter what medium people are watching own. They control the content and all the distribution networks. They'll always figure out a way to gouge your wallet.

Except that they seem to run the same few episodes over and over during a 2-3 week block. Often I just put it on since I've seen the show through like, 7 or 8 times, but it's not as good background when it's the same stuff.
I also think it's time for Netflix to institute a "Select Random Episode from this Show/Season" feature.

Seeing re-runs on tele doesn't let you actually watch a show. There's an overarching story, and the characters have personalities and experiences. Just taking Seinfeld in one show at a time once in a while will just confuse you. You'll get the one liners and the episodic stories, but you won't see the show.

But lots of cable-channel reruns I see have been chopped up so they can cram in more commercials. It's so bad I don't bother watching them on those channels anymore.
If they're doing that to Seinfeld, then it doesn't matter how often it's on; some minimum-wage intern is taking Larry David's genius and cutting five minutes out of it to sell Chia Pets. How he could sit still for such a thing is beyond me.

you can definitely find Seinfeld on somewhere most of the time, especially TBS. the probably though is it's heavily altered. either cut down or sped up or tampered with all to allow for more commercial time. pure, pristine, unperverted Seinfeld is the only way to go.

However there are those of us that do not have cable and couldn't be bothered to install an antenna for a TV that I rarely even turn on. My entertainment is consumed wholly on my phone, laptop, and gaming computer. My living room is just a room I walk through to get to/from my front door to/from my bedroom/office. The living room TV is decoration just like the couch, tables, and chair in that room are decorations.

NO!!!
JERRY, Please don't. For the love of us all please don't put Seinfeld on Netflix.
For, the Trinity of infinitely re-watchable American Comedy Sitcoms will have finally come together: The League, It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia, and the leader - Seinfeld. It will surely be the demise of us all.
The world's economies shall come to a screeching halt as productivity hits an all-time low. Americans will be the first to fall, as their hubris will cause them to be slowest to pick up on the problem. The British will resist initially, as their dry humor causes them to ignore the superior American comedy. But they too shall fall victim to the infinite loop of comedy sitcoms.
Plagued by collapse of American and British economies, the world market suffers greatly. Millions will starve to death and tens of millions will fall ill, their immune systems having been compromised by staying inside and watching the Trinity. Disease and despair shall spread across the globe like a wildfire blazing across the Serengeti. Bringing these shows onto the same network is like Diablo, the devil himself, freeing his brothers, Baal and Mephisto. The Trinity will wreak havoc across the planet, the likes of which we have never seen.
Please, I beg of you. If Seinfeld gets onto Netflix I will not be seen by civilization again. My relationships will suffer and I will surely lose my job.

If you have your own LEGALLY ACQUIRED DIGITAL LIBRARY you can use the plugin pseudoTV for XBMC. It will create channels for you on different categories or you can even create your own custom channels. It even gives you a TV guide option to browse through and see is playing on your stations. You can skip ahead if there is something on you don't want to see.

I didn't say it would cost that much, but it does cost something to code.
It's worth something to me to have the feature, which is a different issue than what it would cost to develop and maintain.
If Netflix knew it could bring in an extra million or two per month by adding the feature, wouldn't that be good motivation for them to actually do so?

Because lists and randomization is one of the most fundamental parts of programing, every programmer has tons of experience with both. Plus all the UI is already implemented.

Basically what /u/ItsFrank11 said. Randomization code is super fundamental. I only know basic code and that's one of the first aspects you learn. I make games, so I'm sure there are plenty of differences, but this sort of feature would not warrant that extra money. You aren't getting any new content. I would pay more if they actually updated their content more often.

eh. I guess. But I think that's just bleeding your consumer's veins. It's basically equivalent to in app purchases. I don't think it's worth it at all. Especially not for an extra dollar a month, and especially if for people who don't want that feature or couldn't care less if it existed. And it's not large enough of a feature to warrant a premium. It's to small of a change. Sure, there might be people willing to pay more, but I am willing to bet that the significant majority are not.

Because I've already seen all of it, multiple times. Same goes for the Simpsons, 30 Rock, Seinfeld, Parks & Rec, IT Crowd...
Quite often we're like "Let's watch some of 'x show'", and can never pick an episode.
Netflix needs the equivalent of flipping channels and seeing "Wings", and going "yeah, ok."

Step 1) Get seinfeld on netflix
Step 2) Get list of episode home pages. You should totally watch this individual episode! It's Trippy!
Step 3) Create a site that shuffles (you can either have a weighted shuffle (earlier seasons prioritized over later, or vice versa, popularity, etc) or a pure random) the sites and redirects you to a site
Step 4) Petition netflix to have an equivalent to youtube's time= to truly simulate that experience of flipping to a show halfway through.
Step 5) ???
Step 6) DCMA Takedown!

EXACTLY.... Seinfeld doesn't work if you have to choose an episode! Part of the fun is coming in midway and trying to figure out what episode it is....and remember what bit parts are in it as well. I love Seinfeld on syndication (except for long commercial breaks) for this reason.

Just do what I do with The Office and It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia. Watch all the episodes in order, and when you finish the series, just start it over at episode one. It has 2 benefits. One, you get to see any character arcs, like in the office. And two, it guarantees that the next episode you're about to see is the episode that you haven't seen in the longest possible amount of time. Plus, it's fun to see the difference between the last episode and the first.

Wow, I had never thought of how the Netflix model would be applied to something like Seinfeld. A show I have sort of neglected buying on DVD because I would never be able to decide on an episode to watch.
It's a really interesting thought regardless, and many other shows that are/aren't on Netflix would benefit from some alternative viewing options.

Just like when I'm listening to music on shuffle I'm too picky and always press skip too often. It'd be the same with comedy shows. That's why I like watching the Simpsons and Seinfeld on TV. The choice is taken away. It's too hard to choose. I'll watch and enjoy whatever's on. Or else I'll have to watch something else.

When I was in college (2003) me and my flatmates had such thing for two years. A 24H stream of Seinfeld on the input channel (from the computer to our TV) so every time you wanted you could pick one random Seinfeld episode.
The thing is... it was by far the most viewed channel at home.

I own the whole series on Dvd. At one point I took every disc out ( 4 discs per season, one disc per case) and mixed them all up on the floor. Kind of like washing a deck of cards. I watched them entirely random for a about a year before I finally reorganized all of them.

Jerry listen to this man. My generation grew up after seinfeld came off the air and seeing it as a kid, didnt understand a lot of it. Now we love it, but getting it is a pain in the ass. Nobody wants to buy 9 seasons of dvds now. We want to watch it instantly on any device we have. Seinfeld on netflix would be awesome. All of my friends right now downloaded all 9 seasons illegally so that they can have them to watch on their TV, (through apple tv), laptop or stream to their phone or tablet.
you are loosing out on revenue by not having it on netflix.

The show has had enough time holding cable television in place.
It's great networks run the show still today on a constant, but the fulfilment of peoples demands being met pays off way more. Seinfield will always be one of those show that'll make you laugh no matter what episode you watch, and even though we're all certain to catch an episode on TV at one point in time of the day, it would be even better to be able to choose when we want.
Please make this happen Jerry, you da man buddy!

I grew up while Seinfeld was making its run. Was never my cup of tea as a kid. I've seen a few scenes here or there while reruns were going but never really sat down and watched it. Even then there are still a few Seinfeld references you learn because it is such a part of peoples lives that you eventually pick some of it up. It feels like one of those inside jokes your group of friends have had since before you met them and you sorta get it and laugh along but it's just not the same because you weren't there to get it.
I really want to be part of the in crowd and get to know all the things people love about this show.

I don't know what your local TV schedule is like, but round these parts there is at least three episodes on TV per night. I can come home from work and catch one or two episodes on Fox, and then switch over to TBS for another episode or two. Some nights of the week have more episodes on than others, but it is a daily occurrence.

My BF would love it if this happened. Watches every single episode in syndication as much as his schedule will allow, and I've known him 11 years now. He does have the complete set on DVD but still, he loves watching the syndicated shows.
He's a giant man-child (which I adore) but even though he's probably seen every episode dozens if not hundreds of times since the show was on the air, he never tires of the show. If anything he's got a personality much like George and Larry David. Not that there's anything wrong with that....

Well, sometimes I try and help people with their, um, etiquette with strangers. You always have to approach a stranger as a stranger, even though you may have seen that person many times on TV, they're still strangers. So you know, I sometimes will try and help people in their approach - you can't walk up to someone that you know and act like they know you. The TV only works one way. You can't just yell at me and expect me to respond positively. You have to introduce yourself first. You can't just yell "HEY JERRY, C'MERE!" and expect that to work.

I think what he's saying is that you have to make sure that they really get to know you first. The obvious solution would be to hang around their house all day and find out their phone number and call them in the middle of the night and breathe into the phone heavily so they know it's you. Also, occasionally mail them dead possums. Be creative and really develop your individual style over time.

While it may be a tad inappropriate, in the grand scheme of things it was not that big of a deal. He could have laughed it off and just rolled with it. Now, if she kept going and neglected the duties of her job, then yeah I could see the justification of asking for another server. However, if someone is just being friendly and says something in a light hearted manner and gets reprimanded for it, that's ridiculous. Give me a break.

As a side job I am a secret shopper for casinos, hotels, and restaurants of all types. What that server did is absolutely inappropriate by any restaurant's own standards outside of a Waffle House or some other garbage. The server is not their to make friends or have a good time; the server is there to serve. That seems obvious, but that's how they are trained to behave.

While I agree, as a famous person you should be used to it. It was an overreaction to call the manager and ask for a different server based on that one line. He probably put her job on the line. Yeah it was dumb to say, he's probably heard it a million times. But you can't blame the girl for getting excited. If she persisted with being annoying, then I might have called the manager. I have no idea how this exchange went down, I'm just going by what that guy wrote.

Like I said in a different comment, put yourself in his shoes. The fans make or break your career - that's a fact. Without the fans his show wouldn't be successful. When you get a fan approaching you, no matter what they say (as long as they're not attacking you) you should appreciate them for the fact that they are fans. They are the reason Seinfeld made millions. I know if I ever got famous and different people kept coming up to me quoting a line from my show I would eventually get tired of it but still show my complete and honest appreciation towards them. I know it's hard to see through Jerry Seinfeld's ass, but it's a matter of not being an dick. Just don't be a dick to people let alone your fans! All this brown-nosing around here is hysterically sad.
i_lack_imagination ยท 9 points ยท Posted at 19:36:39 on July 24, 2014 ยท (Permalink)
There is a difference between appreciating fans and putting up with shit you shouldn't have to. It's mutual respect which everyone should have regardless of celebrity status. You don't go up to random people you don't know and shout things at them, even if you think its funny, you just don't do it because its rude. You don't assume what you have to say has some value to them and force it on them. Like it or not, to celebrities, you are a random stranger.
A lot of people think they are entitled to celebrities' time, they excuse their unjustified entitlement by saying that its part of their job. No its not. The main part of their job is to act, or sing or whatever it is that people know them for. In many cases a secondary part of their job is to market their product in various ways. Marketing the product doesn't mean you are required to be everyone's friend everywhere you go nor does it mean random people are entitled to your time.
I'm not saying they are demigods who are unapproachable by typical people, I'm saying that you treat them like you would anyone else for the most part. Just because you see them on TV doesn't mean you know them. People think they have familiarity with those they see on TV and get a feeling as though they know them and they don't. Even if what you see of them on TV is representative of them as a person, they still don't know you.
[deleted] ยท 1 points ยท Posted at 19:48:41 on July 24, 2014 ยท (Permalink)
We'll just agree to disagree on that. I can guarantee that if I had a whole bunch of people approach me because they liked my work I wouldn't be an asshole to them. If they acted like they know me then I wouldn't get all 'thirteen-year-old-emotional-boy' on them and be all like, "You don't know the real me." I would be cool with anybody coming up to me and striking up a conversation at the appropriate time. And yes, if it's my waiter, I would completely expect her to talk to me, seeing as it's her job; so that's an appropriate time IMO. It really has nothing to do with fame IMO, it's just a matter of being nice to people. Kill 'em with kindness. Treat everybody right. I guess I'm just a people person haha.
I think everybody is completely overreacting to this situation. It's a simple little joke. The waitress was serving his table, it wasn't like it wasn't her table. No, she had a reason to be at that table. She saw Jerry Seinfeld, got all giddy, tried to be funny and spat out a little joke. Seinfeld blew it way out of proportion and demanded her manager. Keeping his reputation intact.

Used to work at restaurants for 5 years. It depends if the manager is a dick or not if the story is true. Plus I would say any good server knows not to joke around with a customer unless they initiate it first. People can be touchy about being bothered during their meals sometimes. Most people see their meal as a time to unwind and especially don't want to be disturbed.
Either way, whomever was in the wrong it just doesn't sound like a big deal to me.

At the same time, while you're entitled to say what you want you also have to accept the consequences of your words. In a professional situation doing something like that can get you in trouble and possibly fired. You have the right to say it, but your boss also has the right to get rid of you for saying it. Now if you're just a random person on the street then yes, there's nothing wrong, but when someone approaches you in a professional setting, they generally expect you to be professional.

Oh god, with the freedom of speech. Sure, fine. We're all entitled to express ourselves. But there is a difference between the freedom to voice your opinion and not be persecuted for it than bothering a famous person because you're such a big fan and you paid money to see their movie so you have the right to interrupt their day and tell them that and they should appreciate it goddammit. I think if you were as famous as Jerry Seinfeld, and were likely inundated with not just nice fans such as yourself but the rude ones that yell, "HEY, JERRY, C'MERE" every. single. day. you'd be whistling a different tune, pal.

I don't know how I'd react to "Hey, Jerry, Come here." but I do know for a fact that if I was in the same situation that Jerry was supposedly in at the restaurant, I wouldn't have demanded to speak to her manager over a silly four word joke. I'm not an asshole like that. Jerry Seinfeld acted like an asshole. I don't think people should be such dickheads over such harmless 'jokes' that have no harsh intentions at all, clearly you think his reaction was warranted. I guess it's just a matter of me not being a prick. Oh well

Welp, maybe I'm a prick but I also believe in social etiquette. A big reason why I love Seinfeld so much.
I'd also just like to point out that we don't know if this even happened, unless Jerry replied to the original comment and I missed it. But if it did happen, and he did that, I don't blame him one bit.

I don't give a fuck about Jerry Seinfeld. I don't think it's right to be rude to, or abuse, celebrities like they are your public property that you don't have to treat like people.
I don't watch the Seinfeld show. Seems like a nice guy in general, but it's not my kind of humor. So, I am not eligible for his "army" and my comment doesn't "prove" how right you are because of my asskissing. That you have to go there, that you need to stereotype people as craven idiots to handle dissent, doesn't speak well of your relative self-image.
Until you've experienced harassment, you tend not to understand how damaging it is socially. What we Americans do to "famous" people in this country, treating them like consequence-free designated victims for our random desires, is genuinely wrong.
TL;DR: Socially, morally, ethically, psychologically, and especially in terms of manners, it is wrong to designate any group of people for abuse. Entertainers aren't your Kleenex.

A waitress telling a joke from his show isn't harassment. He wasn't being harassed. He acted like a douchebag in this situation. And in my opinion nobody should be a prick to others unless they are acting abusive and so-on. Only on the internet can people twist your words around and make it seem like I think abusing celebrities is okay lmao. People need to learn to read.

I'm not accepting inferior status in reading skills, because going up to bellow "No soup for you!" in a customer's face, isn't "telling a joke from the show". I read what you wrote carefully, you explicitly went into detail as to what standards of behavior you thought comedians should have towards fans.
If that attitude which you think entertainers should have is an attitude that you yourself have actually adopted in your life, then I commend you on that, because humility and grace are commendable. If you walk the talk, ( that you yourself would practice expressing gratitude for the support no matter how badly or rudely the support is displayed by that fan ) then kudos.
However it is not reasonable of you to expect performers to adhere to a status of gratitude as a response to every rude remark. That's a personal standard that goes above and beyond normal human expectations, and it's not reasonable to demand that level of restraint from someone just because they tell jokes or dance or sing for a living.
Again, it does not speak well of you, that in having a discussion with me, you have to invent a persona for me where I am another kind of moron you despise, where I "need to learn to read".
If I have misunderstood you, then you need to clarify your position. You don't need to denigrate me to do that. I recommend you don't.
Shouting hostile things at strangers is harassment, that you can't recognize this, troubles me. I have no need to twist your words around. I spoke to what you expressed, which is that you apparently think it's a tantrum to ask a manager to replace a server. If my server made me uncomfortable, I might do the same. He didn't demand she be fired, he asked, mildly, through the appropriate channel, for a different server. That's his right as an adult customer.

Sorry, I had my inbox absolutely slammed with responses that I've been responding to in a quick manner. Half of them twisting my words to make it seem like I think celebrities should put up with the rude and over-the-top fans. I think people in general should be more kind to other people. Even if you're a celebrity. If somebody means no harm, says a small little joke from your show because they're serving your table, why would you get upset? Honestly, WHY!? They like your work, that's pretty obvious. They weren't being rude, so in what situation is that response even remotely normal? It's just a dickhead way to react IMO.
I just don't understand how people are so damn overly sensitive when it comes to a joke from his own show. I also don't understand how people justify his reaction. Does he have a right to overreact and ask for a new waiter? Of course. But he did so over a small little joke that a waitress did without malice. I don't get how he can be such a dick to somebody who clearly enjoys his work (IN THAT SITUATION) Gotta make sure if I cover my tracks with my words now.

I appreciate your taking the time to reply politely even though you are being harried. I'm sorry people are harrassing you with PMs. If I've had any part in it, I apologize. I certainly didn't mean to lead a pitchfork mob to your inbox!
FYI "No soup for you!" is always done in a very loud and menacing way, that's why it's a shitty way to greet someone, especially a customer. Adding to that, the bit on the show was about how awful it is to be treated that way by someone serving you, so the chances of him wanting that from a server were going to be 0%.
I think it's funny how, you can be a comedian and do a bit about how a certain kind of interaction is awful, and then have people run up to excitedly display that exact behavior.
Dave Chappelle said it was really disturbing for him when he was out with his young son and people he didn't know would scream "I'm Rick James, BITCH!" and try to slap his face in front of his terrified kid. The kid hadn't seen the show because he was like, 5 years old and it wasn't appropriate material, so he just thought the world was full of mean people who wanted to yell at his Father. Or they would say racist things because he played that blind black guy who was unaware he was black and was a white supremacist. He would respectfully ask people to please chill in front of his child, but it upset him every time.
It's understandable that people are excited but there's no "It lives in the television so it's not really human" clause for social interactions.
Having lived where famous people are common, I never had that belief so many people apparently have where there's Fake TV People and Real Human People. In NYC there's an etiquette where you are treated exactly like everybody else, which is why so many famous people live there. I've seen people I deeply admire or lust after, famous people I long to talk to, and pretended they were just strangers, no staring, no accosting, no assuming they were mine to pester.
Anyway, I'm sorry people are being dicks. Not much I can do to help, I think. I can only say to my fellow Redditors, if you got this far reading, to please be civil even if you disagree. You don't change people's minds by being mean or rude.

I saw Seinfeld do standup in Dallas two years ago (absolutely hilarious). As an encore, he came out and just took questions from the audience and answered them like a regular Q&A would go. Of course a lot of the answers were very funny as well.
Some questions were along the lines of "Boxers or Briefs?" or "Seinfeld movie: when is it happening?" One guy gets called on and blurts out his best Uncle Leo "Jerry, Hello!" line. And Jerry just kind of sat there and condescendingly talked about how uncreative that was and how he had wasted everyone's time.
It was glorious.

That's where I guess we're different. Let me give you an example. I worked retail, the same store, the same job for 4 years. I have literally heard the joke, "Well I guess it must be free," when something doesn't ring up, over a hundred times. I got tired of it after the tenth time of hearing it, but I was NEVER a dick to them for making the joke. Not because I couldn't be a dick, if I wanted to I could have no problem, but that's just not me. I did a fake little chuckle and went on with my job. Like you said, being famous doesn't make you immune to normal human annoyances, I agree, but being famous doesn't give you a reason to be a dick to people. There's just no need to be such an asshole IMO.

My dentist saw Seinfeld live at a comedy performance and said he seemed to have a visible disdain for the audience.
My dentist is a very nice man, so I tend to believe him.
What Jerry Seinfeld doesn't get in what he wrote above (that he has to educate people on the fact that strangers are strangers and TV goes one way), is that he is totally wrong. He completely doesn't get what he signed up for if he believes otherwise. Why do we watch him on a late night show talk to the host about his personal life? Is it that he's having a private conversation, cameras accidentally happened to be there, and NBC happened to purchased the licensing rights to broadcast it to millions of people?
No, he like all other celebrities tries to ingratiate himself with the public, which is why he's specifically asking people on this thread not to treat him as a stranger (ask me anything).
He's done funny stuff, but he's an asshole--and that's my observation from watching him when he's behaving presumably as nicely as he can in front of the public. I saw him on Letterman I think defame a woman saying she was had a name like that of a serial killer (something like that at least). This is when he was going on a PR tour defending his wife for having copied another woman's cookbook. His wife won that lawsuit on the basis of the judge saying nothing was original about either of the cookbooks.
Anyhow, Seinfeld is one of my favorite shows.

In the Woody Harrelson AMA, what happened was that some guy asked him to respond to a rumor that he had sex with some high school girl that this guy knew, and that she spent the whole night (it was prom night or something) crying about it. That was the whole thing that prompted Harrelson to respond in the way that he did, after it was voted to the top of the page and other people kept badgering him to respond to these "rape" accusations.
[deleted] ยท 8 points ยท Posted at 19:11:52 on July 24, 2014 ยท (Permalink)
Right, I remember, but I thought the more memorable part of that AMA was that Harrelson refused to answer anything that didn't pertain to Rampart, so I'd say he Ramparted the AMA, not that the guy did.
SyrioForel ยท 3 points ยท Posted at 19:37:05 on July 24, 2014 ยท (Permalink)
That question was literally one of the first ones asked, and it was instantly pushed to the top of the page. It poisoned the entire discussion before it even began, and made everyone extremely hostile to him because everyone just assumed he's a rapist and needs to confront these allegations right then and there.
Now, you may say that many of his other one-sentence answers were boring, but that's how the majority of AMA's with celebrities around here go. Unless, of course, they're being managed by reddit's Victoria, who seems to try to extract much longer and more in-depth answers out of these people.
[deleted] ยท 1 points ยท Posted at 20:05:15 on July 24, 2014 ยท (Permalink)
I remember it being at the top, yeah. When I see people bring up Rampart as a Reddit in-joke though, it's usually in reference to Harrelson only answering questions about the movie he was promoting, not the rape accusation (which is a harder thing to joke about), so e.g. people will jokingly say "please only ask me about [thing I'm promoting]", or in some cases, "please only ask me about Rampart". In other words, I think Rampart is more commonly remembered as "that time Woody Harrelson would only talk about Rampart", not "that time someone accused Woody Harrelson of rape", so verbifying it based on the latter could be misleading.

No, the entire AMA was terrible. Let's stick to the movie, people (or however he put it) is the most memorable line, and that had nothing to do with the high school sex story.
Unlike Woody Harrelson, Jerry Seinfeld actually responded to users' questions in a reasonably thoughtful manner. So I don't think there would be much risk of it getting Ramparted.

A friend told me a similar story about Larry David. She approached him and asked if he would take a picture with him. He sneered, and said, "Fuck off!" My friend thinks his response was worth more than any picture she would have taken.

This is invaluable advice. I had interned at a live music venue for 3 years and got to interact with lots of well known talent. The fact is that we are all human, and what people may do in their professional lives is no total or complete outlook of who they are as an individual.

It was hilarious and we had a lot of fun at his expense for awhile.

Wonderful advice! I once met Barney Martin (Morty) while staying in a local hotel visiting family in New Jersey while getting on an elevator. I looked at him, knew I knew him, but couldn't put my finger on it.
So I asked "Excuse me, but you look extremely familiar... do you go to <insert name of local bar>?" He smiled, gave a slight laugh and said "No. Maybe you've heard of the Astronaut Pen?". It clicked and had a good laugh.
Probably the most random and funny meeting a stranger in an elevator story I'll have in my life.

Perhaps you and I should get coffee some time (it could be an episode of your show, if you like). In this way, you'll know me so that, if we ever meet later, I can approach you as if we know each other and it won't be awkward. Just let me know when you're available- thanks Jerry.

i know I'm late for this, but I always wondered if it was you many years ago in the manhattan beach pier. My now wife and I were looking at this guy who look just like you. We kinda stared for a while wondering like idiots and then the guy approached and asked, do i know you? from college or somewhere? I said no, I don't think so and then he said oh well (or something like that) and left. I thought to myself, if he really was Jerry, he just wanted to get a laugh at people wondering if he was really him or not. well played!

Just a face of a friend from the past or something. Your responded with the same enthusiastic heeeeey! I kept walking thinking, how the hell do I know that dude. Then.... Oh shit that was Jerry!

Actually a piano roll is just another roll of paper just like a typewriter, except it's processing content FROM the roll from left to right instead of processing content TO the roll.
I'm not sure there's a good example of processing a roll of something in perpendicular strips. Someone prove me wrong.

The quality of the coffee. I didn't really used to drink coffee in the 90s, whenever we would sit in the coffee shop on the show I wouldn't drink coffee, they would put coffee in the cup so it looked like I was drinking it, but I wouldn't drink it. I don't know what changed. But I got into it, in the 90s and I finally figured out why everybody was interested in it, and then I became obsessed with it, and then I did a show about it. There's just - as Duke Ellington famously said - "there's only two kinds of music, good and bad," and it's the same with coffee.

I was just getting gas and some candy or something, when I was thrust into a living fucking nightmare from which my soul will never again know reprieve.
"HEY TIM, DID YOU ALREADY CLEAN THE EXPRESSO MACHINE?"
"YEAH, EXPRESSO MACHINE'S READY TO GO. HAVE YOU TRIED THE EXPRESSO YET"
"NO, BUT SOMEBODY TOLD ME OUR EXPRESSO IS EVEN BETTER THAN STARBUCKS"
I got really anxious, collected myself, then mumbled something incoherent at the register.
"Pardon?"
There's... no 'x' in that word. It's 'espresso'.
"Oh, haha! That's just lazy English, isn't it bud?"
Haha, yeah. Get it together, guys.
I paid and left feeling like a douchebag, then went home and crushed 6 shots.

Addiction and dependence aren't the same. The more you know!!!
aza9999 ยท 1 points ยท Posted at 06:02:31 on July 25, 2014 ยท (Permalink)
According to the DSM-IV manual, addiction and substance dependance are the same
Under the DSM-IV manual, substance addiction is indicated by the presence of three or more of the following criteria. For most long term coffee drinkers the first two are almost always true, so if they meet just one further criteria on the list, congratulations you are officially an addict.
Tolerance: Does the patient tend to need more of the drug over time to get the same effect? Most coffee drinkers need to increase their intake over time to get the same effect
Withdrawal symptoms: Does the patient experience withdrawal symptoms when he or she does not use the drug? Most people who drink coffee regularly have negative side affects when they don't get their daily coffees
Continued use of drug despite harm: Is the patient experiencing physical or psychological harm from the drug?
Loss of control: Does the patient take the drug in larger amounts, or for longer than planned?
Attempts to cut down: Has the patient made a conscious, but unsuccessful, effort to reduce his or her drug use?
Salience: Does the patient spend significant time obtaining or thinking about the drug, or recovering from its effects?
Reduced involvement: Has the patient given up or reduced his or her involvement in social, occupational or recreational activities due to the drug?

In fact, addiction implies both physical dependenceย andย some form of loss of control.
Addiction is doing it despite suffering consequences.

Then when the constipation finally wears off, you wind up diving down The Worst Toilet in Scotland because while relieving yourself for the first time in what might be weeks, you lost the suppositories you'd jammed up there to take the edge off the withdrawals. Your fishing expedition leaves you soggy, smelly, and shaking -- but at least you are no longer constipated.

You may be surprised to hear this, but Seattle's Best Coffee is not actually the best coffee available in this town.
If you want to try some actually good coffee, order yourself a bag of this stuff and follow their brewing guidelines. Brewing coffee isn't actually hard, but it's something that is just complicated enough that a lot of people do it super wrong (or just don't care, which is even worse). I recommend getting a french press, personally, but lots of people have Strong Opinions on these things.
EDIT: Also you have to grind it yourself. Coffee starts losing flavor within a few minutes of being ground up, so you should always buy whole beans and not grind them until immediately before you add the hot water.
s-t ยท 2 points ยท Posted at 19:06:23 on July 24, 2014 ยท (Permalink)
I'm not surprised hahaha, I've seen Elf. Was also in Seattle last year, and coffee quality across the board is better (even in Starbucks).
Traditional coffee brewing makes the water too hot (boiling burns the grounds, which McDonalds does not seem to know), not to mention commercial institutions keep the coffee hot and brewing way after it's through the filter.
I prefer any method that 1. allows me to use water at the temperature I choose, and 2. cools the coffee down quickly after it's brewed. I did french press for a couple years, but now I'm a Chemex convert. Also have a bean grinder. Thanks for the link!
[deleted] ยท 3 points ยท Posted at 19:40:37 on July 24, 2014 ยท (Permalink)
Oh yeah chemex is way better than french press. I just recommend french press because it's simpler (well, maybe not, now that I think about it).
And yeah, what I do is just bring the water to a light boil in my teakettle and let it sit for a few minutes before pouring it. What would be most ideal is one of those hot water dispensers that can keep a tank of water at like 190ยบ or so, but I don't drink nearly enough coffee to justify buying one of those. My old roommate had one and it was so nice for tea, though.

As a Canadian (Vancouver) we have a different appreciation for coffee. The quality seems to be important to us with Starbucks (I hate Starbucks), Tim Horton's and even McDonalds all having great coffee. Travel south outside of NW Washington and coffee is usually just a morning thing. I am constantly shocked that in places that Canadians flock to, like Las Vegas and Anaheim, there aren't Tim Horton's. The amount of sales that could be generated by just one franchise would be incredible. 24 hour Timmy's on the strip. I do realize that with only one franchise, the costs would be prohibitive for expansion and the service/product would likely suffer. That said, Tim Horton's was in Afghanistan...

I grew up on coffee with chicory. That's all that was served throughout my SE Louisiana area - even convenience stores and gas stations had it. The first time I traveled out of the area (and at age when I started drinking coffee), I couldn't believe what they served. I through all coffee had chicory, and thought I was getting ripped off. I really can't stand any kind but chicory coffee (which I now have to order by mail since I don't live there anymore).

Oh man, Mr. Seinfeld, let me tell you, at least one person is making sure that trick is being appreciated.
Anytime I'm enjoying both, I'm reminded of Kramer's amazing feat, but I don't even dare attempt it because beer and cigarettes are expensive, and both would be ruined. Worse than the cost would be having to actually go an get another drink, what a waste of time.
But, I do always tell everyone around about the episode and the scene, then I toast "to feeling good, all the time".

Yeah, that's one of those things at first sounds like a ridiculously petty, shallow thing to make a person reconsider a relationship, but sense of humor is connected to so many other things like general worldview, intelligence level, taste, etc that it really is important. How I Met Your Mother is a show I'm just purely neutral on, so assuming she likes other funny stuff that is similar to you, then it's probably not the end of the world. However, if I met a girl, rich, looks like Natalie Portman's twin, has a serious oral fixation, but tells me her favorite show is Big Bang Theory, I'd have to pass.
EDIT: Sigh...apparently people don't like me picking on that poor, underdog show The Big Bang Theory that brings in an average of 20 million viewers and makes a bazillion dollars for CBS and its actors.

Ummm.... I'm pretty sure you weren't being downvoted because you don't like a sitcom. It was because you're crazy enough to make a fucking tv show a "deal breaker". At first, it was funny.

On god this is the most euphoric thing I have ever read.
I prefer watching himym to Seinfeld but I'd say I have a higher than average intelligence. I have 2 ba's from uc Berkeley, one in economics the other in statistics.
I'd be careful before jumping to any conclusions connecting sense of humor to intelligence without any data to back that up.
thelostdolphin ยท 3 points ยท Posted at 02:12:10 on July 25, 2014 ยท (Permalink)
Congratulations on your degrees. That's wonderful. And sorry if you found my comment condescending or "euphoric" to use your worn out hacky reddit-specific term.
Intelligence and humor are in fact connected. https://www.google.com/url?sa=t&source=web&rct=j&ei=D7vRU86rB9C2yAT6nYLoBA&url=http://www.psychologytoday.com/files/attachments/95822/humor-predicts-mating-success.pdf&cd=2&ved=0CB4QFjAB&usg=AFQjCNEyhT_Z7_WUj0Gq9Z7QrxHxsvejWg&sig2=AhsKKPTAPwbD4-SQI06_bg
However, humor is also obviously very subjective, as is finding someone you're attracted to. The type of intelligence that makes one appreciation Seinfeld more than HIMYM happens to be my preference. I'd be curious, if one were to poll all of the artists, actors, writers in the world, to see which of those two shows ranked higher. Complete conjecture, but I'd bet a considerable sum of money that Seinfeld would be astronomically higher. But as I said, humor is purely subjective.

How I Met Your Mother is better than Seinfeld if you're stupid. Seinfeld is not a quality program if you happen to be stupid, it's just a bunch of lame people saying things that are supposed to be funny and stumbling into coincidences and being bad people generally. They're not the kind of people you'd want to hang out with. The cast of HIMYM would seem great to spend time with if you're stupid. They're so cool, they're just like me and my friends! What I'm saying is, you can preserve the relationship by acknowledging and respecting your differences.

Oh. Well, there were a couple of times when I definitely thought that everything had completely come to a halt. At one point, in the early 80s, I got a part on a sitcom called Benson. And I was on the show for 3 episodes, and then I got fired. And I thought that would be the only break I was ever going to get. It was just a youthful lack of perspective. But at the time, I thought that was it. But it really ended up making me really get into being a much better standup comedian so that I wouldn't be dependent on other people. It ended up being a good thing. The best things in my life have been the bad things that taught me stuff.

Benson was a spin-off from Soap and it was if the same creative team were under orders to not even toe the line of controversy. I remember being pretty upset that they used that crappy show to tell us that Jessica Tate doesn't survive the firing squad in Soap's final episode.

Isn't this an actors guild payment threshold - that you pay a whole lot more for an actor who appears in more than three episodes? If you are not a main cast member you only appear in three episodes in a season, they probably didn't have the budget to keep him.

The first, last, and only episode of Benson I've seen had you in it. After watching it, I decided to name my new black haired kitten 'Benson', as the shows star was also black. In not sure if this is relevant, profound, or just plain racist, but I was 6 years old and didn't know any better.

Hello Jerry
Did you ever learn to surf?
In your adulthood, have you bought a superior Superman costume to the one that you wore on Halloween as a child?
๐๏ธ _Seinfeld ยท 1956 points ยท Posted at 16:03:51 on July 24, 2014 ยท (Permalink)
I did learn to surf in 1999 in Hawaii, and considered chucking my entire life to just surf. And I sometimes think I should have grabbed that opportunity, because I knew it was my only chance I was ever going to get - I was single, I had just finished the show, but I didn't do it.
No, I never got a better one.
Karma_Chamillionaire ยท 1679 points ยท Posted at 16:17:33 on July 24, 2014 ยท (Permalink)
You should really get a waterproof Superman costume. You could wear it while surfing, and that would be perfect.

Saved me three crushing hours. Went for a hike and swim instead and disc golf during what I thought was the game time.
Fuck Toronto.
Karma_Chamillionaire ยท 2 points ยท Posted at 03:43:22 on July 25, 2014 ยท (Permalink)
Yeah you really were lucky. The worst part was the 9th inning with Ortiz getting hurt on that check swing. It better not be serious.
Agreed. Fuck Toronto. After this series, I won't be surprised if we see some trade deadline action
durkaflurkaflame ยท 2 points ยท Posted at 03:50:33 on July 25, 2014 ยท (Permalink)
I didn't know about Ortiz... I didn't bother reading any recaps/box lines/none of that shit.
I'm not excited for trade deadline. If Koji gets dealt we have a big hole to fill in 2015. That's not to mention Lackey (value with that league min. salary next year) or Peavy... who I wouldn't mind losing. Saw some Lester talk in some shit article but I doubt he's going anywhere.
Still, just need to win another 43ish for an alright playoff shot and only lose... 17?
Karma_Chamillionaire ยท 2 points ยท Posted at 03:55:05 on July 25, 2014 ยท (Permalink)
Yeah, I'm definitely not giving up as a fan until management starts a fire sale. I agree, I really don't want to lose Lackey or Koji. Lester needs that extension. He is a true ace, and they need to pay him as such. It's hard to find a guy that can go out there to pitch without wearing out his arm and be as effective as him
durkaflurkaflame ยท 2 points ยท Posted at 04:25:26 on July 25, 2014 ยท (Permalink)
The extension is gone though. He's going to hit free agency. Hopefully they throw 6/150 at him, get a few good years and maybe a ring.
Trading seems a bit pointless, the farm is stacked. Especially that left infield side.
If this season goes to hell though, at least it's almost football/hockey season.
Karma_Chamillionaire ยท 1 points ยท Posted at 13:24:32 on July 25, 2014 ยท (Permalink)
Very true, if they really have tabled talks with Lester the extension is over. I couldn't imagine too many big trades because they have so many young players that they have control over for a few years. I could see them trading one of Nava/Gomes/Carp (probably Gomes since I think his contract is up after this year anyway) and Peavy. The only they are going to trade Koji is if they don't have plans to re-sign him next year

There would have been a time for such a word.
To-morrow, and to-morrow, and to-morrow,
Creeps in this petty pace from day to day
To the last syllable of recorded time,
And all our yesterdays have lighted fools
The way to dusty death. Out, out, brief candle!
Life's but a walking shadow, a poor player
That struts and frets his hour upon the stage
And then is heard no more: it is a tale
Told by an idiot, full of sound and fury,
Signifying nothing"

But Larry and I used to have gigantic laughs writing the show, and I remember one of the first times - when Newman had to take the stand in a courtroom scene, and I believe Kramer cross-examines him, we laughed pretty hard writing that. And I also remember writing the last speech of the marine biologist, where George tells the story of finding the golf ball in the blowhole of the whale. That was a really, really long hard laugh when we wrote that.

I think so few people understand the show and why it's funny. That's still a problem today. They came in thinking your character was a comedian and he was supposed to be funny. Or thinking it was this "show about nothing" which was never true.
The secret sauce is, Seinfeld was always a show about how a comedian views the world. You were the normal one the whole time surrounded by these people, who, like all non-comedians are crazy people. So Jerry, surrounded by crazy people, showing the world how crazy the world looks to a comedian. You were the mirror that we needed to look at ourselves and see the absurdity of us.
I think, maybe, if that had been clear earlier in the series, it would have caught on faster.

You would need a different type of car for all 3 of them, Hammond would probably love something from the late 60s early to mid 70s, lets say an El Camino SS. May would have to be driven in something eclectic a super lux old rolls or some similar old coach. Clarkson you could go one of 3 ways, you go super british and pick him up in an E-type or D-type, get something with a lot of soul, or something so offensively american he just continues to laugh about it.

Alright. OP said "It was an incredibly awesome feeling to be able to make someone do something involuntarily like that." My comment was ironic (because I don't really believe that the comment had a creepy vibe), my intent being to make fun of the OP's wording.
I understand the irony can get lost over text. That doesn't mean that it is impossible for my comment to be ironic.

I know you'll never read this but, right now I have a job lined up in another country and have moved back home with my parents for 3 weeks while I wait for my visa. I was at a pub meeting friends of friends and I introduced myself with:
"Hi, I'm George. I'm unemployed and I live with my parents."
It went over really well every time. I'm normally introverted and don't talk a lot, but it worked as well for me as it did with George on the show.

Most rich people (like most people in general) can barely pump their own gas let alone know the difference between a dry and a wet sump engine or what the terms mean.

Maybe I will save someone else a trip on google:
Dry lubricants or solid lubricants are materials which despite being in the solid phase, are able to reduce friction between two surfaces sliding against each other without the need for a liquid medium. The two main dry lubricants are graphite and molybdenum disulfide. *this isn't what is happening in Jerry's Porsche though, as explained below.
Froggypwns ยท 9 points ยท Posted at 18:50:56 on July 24, 2014 ยท (Permalink)
While that explains dry lubricants, that is not a how a dry sump oiling system works. Dry sumps still use the same oil as a traditional wet sump system, but the oil storage is an external tank, not the bottom of the engine like in a wet sump.

Perhaps Jerry isn't the best person to answer this question, so I will answer it. I saw Seinfeld at the Comedy Cellar in 2000, and he came on with some material he was working on (he had notes). He had a joke that didn't go over well about the GPS in his car, but that was the first year GPS was open to the public, so not many people had it and it was more expensive than today. But everyone was just excited to see Jerry Seinfeld. (BTW, it was a good night with Colin Quinn and Marc Maron, too).

What kind of kid were you in school? Did you ever get bullied?
๐๏ธ _Seinfeld ยท 398 points ยท Posted at 17:19:51 on July 24, 2014 ยท (Permalink)
One time I got bullied, yeah, I think it was second grade. It was a kid, who I would bring little Matchbox cars with me to class, and he would make a fist at me, and then take the cars. Then one day he came over to my house and wanted to play with me, and I refused. And I never saw him again. But I still remember that. I just remember him taking the cars, and him making this fist at me. And he thought we were friends, that was the weird part.
derekandroid ยท 38 points ยท Posted at 18:36:04 on July 24, 2014 ยท (Permalink)
He likely didn't know how to express his desire to be friends with you, so he did the whole stealing/fist thing. I bet that deep down, he really liked you. Also, I feel like there is a connection between that matchbox moment and the way that you involve cars in your life now. After someone took your matchboxes at fistpoint, you were determined to collect and drive as many f-ing cars as you possibly could for the rest of your life. The kid probably inspired what is now one of your great passions.

Blue. In fact, I felt as a child that i related more to blue than my own name. I have a very powerful connection with that color. And it's always been extremely important to me. It's weird, I don't understand it myself, but there's certain blues - Jeep Wrangler makes a blue that will make me stop walking on the sidewalk, and just turn and stare at it.

You probably don't remember, but when my family went on vacation in L.A., we ran into you on Sunset Boulevard. You made a joke about my brother and I (we were both wearing blue jean shirts with blue jeans -- our mother dressed us when we were kids), you said:
"So, uh, you guys got a blue thing going on here..."
Made everyone laugh. This was probably mid 90's? Thanks for the memory, I still tell the story today.

Hasn't he decided that being famous wasn't for him and he couldn't take all of the publicity?
Mejica ยท 27 points ยท Posted at 20:16:02 on July 24, 2014 ยท (Permalink)
From what i have seen, it wasn't the being famous. It was the 90 million being put out there for the media to scrutinize, the pressure to be funny, and the fallout with Neal. If you watch his early standup he has jokes on what he would do if he became famous(back then very few comedians made the "Seinfeld" money) and it is spot on with what happened.

IMDB. In his first special Killin them softly I believe he has the fame joke. As far as the Neal Brennan stuff he has done several interviews as well as Dave regarding the matter. They got caught up in the business politics that comes along with contracts and deadlines.

I had no idea about that happening. It's sad to hear because once as a kid, I watched a lot of their commentary on Chappelle show. The dudes sounded like best buds and it sucks to see how easy it was for dicks with money to fuck them up.
Side note, is there a full interview/episode of this out there? Neal is one of those people that I don't see on stuff too often, I feel like he might have some more good stories to tell.

Lemme quickly ask: how old does a car need to be to be called "classic"? Is there a widely accepted cut off date?
Reddit_cctx ยท 3 points ยท Posted at 22:47:44 on July 24, 2014 ยท (Permalink)
In most states you can register older cars with a "Classic Auto" license plate which of course shows that the car is considered a classic. The cut off date in Texas is 25 years and I'd imagine it's similar elsewhere. So 25 years would be my answer.

Never got to watch Seinfeld in its prime (16) but it's probably my favorite TV show to watch today! My questions are: What was your favorite episode to work on and were you surprised by how Festivus has become a official holiday of sorts a after Seinfeld?

Truthfully, I loved working on every episode, we just had the best time and got along great, and there were a number of years when the show wasn't successful and we still loved it. And I was very surprised by Festivus catching on, but I think people just like the line rhyming Festivus with "rest of us" is 90% of it. And no presents, and you don't have to buy decorations, it's just an aluminum pole.

Good question. I do have a number of things from the show, some really cool stuff. I have the 2 green couches, and I have that intercom that was on the wall of the apartment, that I had to press whenever someone came over. I also have the toaster from the coffee shop. I won't donate them to the Smithsonian, because they don't guarantee they will display things, so I would donate them to a museum that will put them on display. I would love to donate them somewhere. I have no use for it at this point.

As a museum professional, I hope you'll reconsider. Most museums, even small ones, only display a fraction of their collection. Even for large institutions like the Smithsonian, space is always at a premium, particularly for something as big as a couch. They also can't just be plopped anywhere: the object needs to make sense in the context of its exhibit.
Display is also terribly hard on artifacts, and objects often have to be rotated out of display to give preservationists a chance to so their work. A famous piece like the Seinfield Couch will almost certainly receive a lot of prominent display time, but any agreement that mandates permanent display is not good for the museum or the artifact.
You could also try loaning the artifact, which will give you somewhat more control of how it's displayed.

I can deny it categorically. You can't count seeing the little Superman model on the bookshelf as a Superman reference. I would say there are maybe 10 Superman references out of a whole 180 or so episodes, so that's a long way from all of them.

2) USMLE step 1 and 2, but not 3
3) 2+ years of residency (family medicine)
4) DO degrees are not accepted worldwide like MD
From my understanding, they were considered quacks, but, have been in a transition phase becoming more ligitiment...much like physical therapists overcame (it used to be a 4 year degree and soon there will be only PHD programs available).

1.The amount of years in residency is dependent on which specialty you are. 2.They teach the exact same things in MD vs DO school. 3.Most DO's take COMLEX and USMLE. 4. They were not accepted years ago but just realize that they arent quacks by any means.

DO vs MD does make a difference when places are looking for applicants.
Yes they're similar and said to be looked at as the same but the people hiring see it and will go with MD usually.

There are neurosurgery DO only residencies as well. If you judge your doctor's ability by the name of their degree you're gunna have a bad time. I've met plenty of terrible MDs and great DOs AND vice versa

Yes, and they oft try for MD residencies since the two teach differently in Neuro.
And regardless, unless a DO has really outshined in research and publications, the upper echelon Neuro places will go for MD

Yeah, I never understood why you would go through all the pain and suffering of med school and residency, only to spend a few more years learning quackery? Like, I've done the research on Osteopathy, the theory behind it is patent nonsense and the only reason its still around is because its managed to move more and more towards conventional medicine. I don't know if I want to be treated by a doctor who can't recognize pseudoscience.
QuickToJudgeYou ยท 2 points ยท Posted at 01:07:16 on July 25, 2014 ยท (Permalink)
You've obviously done no research into it. Osteopathic manipulative medicine is very efficacious for treating musculoskeletal problems. Many of the techniques are used in physical therapy. Are you saying physical therapy is quackery?

Yes, I have.The fact is that osteopathic medicine is based on the incorrect belief that manipulating the bones and joints can stimulate the body into healing itself. This is patently wrong, and there is no evidence that this kind of manipulation has ever solved anything better than a placebo. The only reason DOs cure anybody is because they use normal medicine the vast majority of the time.
QuickToJudgeYou ยท 1 points ยท Posted at 01:53:32 on July 25, 2014 ยท (Permalink)
So say you have a psoas muscle spasm, I use the techniques I was taught in school to stop the spasm, was that not using manipulation of the body to fix the problem?
Because that's exactly the scenario that turned me on to the use of OMM. I had a terrible spasm from a basketball injury, limping and everything. I saw the doctor for maybe 5-10 minutes, he did is thing, no more limp and I played ball that afternoon.
While the idea that manipulation can cure visceral problems is outdated, musculoskeletal problem are well within the scope of treatment.

Wow, you can treat a muscle spasm. Impressive.
QuickToJudgeYou ยท 1 points ยท Posted at 10:32:30 on July 25, 2014 ยท (Permalink)
Aren't you a pleasant fellow.
Actually I can treat everything an M.D. can, given the resources (labs, medicine, equipment, diagnostic tools etc.) I'm just making a point that OMM gives me an additional set of diagnostic and therapeutic options which are mostly geared towards musculoskeletal pathologies. Yes a spasm was my example but using OMM one can treat a wide range of problems strain, sprain, nerve entrapment (carpal tunnel, tarsal tunnel etc), adhesive capsulitis, cervicogenic headaches, low back pain from all kinds of problems (the number one out patient complaint in the US) etc. I could keep going but I gotta get to work.
Suffice it to say DOs and MDs are both physicians, being able to practice every specialty and subspecialty, with all the rights and privileges being equal. DOs just are taught an additional set of skills during the first two years of medical school that focuses on a hands on approach to diagnosis and treatment.
Good day to you sir I hope you learned something during this exchange.
[deleted] ยท 1 points ยท Posted at 12:37:10 on July 25, 2014 ยท (Permalink)
Yeah, I learned that DOs are really touchy about being called quacks. Probably because you spent 4 extra years in school for it and don't want to admit it was a waste of time.
QuickToJudgeYou ยท 1 points ยท Posted at 13:17:53 on July 25, 2014 ยท (Permalink)
Clearly you don't know what you're talking about. MDs and DOs both have 4 years of medical school and then residency. There is no extra school years, we have one additional class during the first 2 years of school.
My allopathic colleagues and I spent the same time in training.
Please refrain from discussing topics which you do not have the slightest knowledge in unless you wish to actually learn something.

Outside of the US osteopathy is still outdated quack medicine. To be honest, I fail to see why someone wanting to be a doctor would choose a degree named after quackery.
Even if a DO is qualified as a doctor, osteopathy itself is still rubbish.
QuickToJudgeYou ยท 2 points ยท Posted at 01:03:03 on July 25, 2014 ยท (Permalink)
Actually for musculoskeletal problems osteopathic manipulative medicine is quite effective. Many of the techniques are adapted and used in physical therapy and chiropracty (the first chiropracter dropped out of DO school) and there is tons of research to back up the use.
When you get into the cranial osteopathy, yeah it's a bit more esoteric. I'm not a proponent of cranial stuff but musculoskeletal manipulation? I use it all the time and my patients are all quite happy with the results.
saichampa ยท 1 points ยท Posted at 11:29:51 on July 25, 2014 ยท (Permalink)
I don't know the history of it, but physiotherapy doesn't try to claim it can heal things unrelated to the musculoskeletal system. Perhaps in regards to musculoskeletal problems osteopathy uses similar treatments to physiotherapy, but I'm a hell of a lot more confident in a physiotherapist than I would be in anyone calling themselves an osteopath.
As for chiropractic (not chiropracty) it's even worse than osteopathy.
Osteopathy will always carry the taint of quackery, even if they are otherwise trained similarly to a medical doctor.
QuickToJudgeYou ยท 1 points ยท Posted at 12:03:13 on July 25, 2014 ยท (Permalink)
Well allopathic medicine has a history of incredibly dubious claims and practices, are you wary of anyone calling themselves a physician?

I stand corrected on that bit then. However I went and looked up accredited osteopathic programs and came up with 30, most of which are relatively unknown, at least for their medical schools.

Is that really a relevant point when you've provided a list of the top medical schools, and I've provided one of the osteopathic schools? Let's just compare the two.
Within the top 50 schools, only one is an osteopathic school at 9th (Michigan as you mentioned). The next is ranked 51st. The following is 82nd.

Relatively unknown, not entirely so.
Looking at the top list of schools on the site you provided, I recognize without any relevant experience several (11 of the top 20).
They gave the exact criteria and weights for making decisions regarding ranking on the site right here.
The average MCAT score, incoming GPA, student to faculty ratio, and student selectivity aren't good metrics for this?
They are all certainly required to meet baseline requirements for what they must teach. However, things like student to teacher ratio, professors with relevant experience and respect in the field, and opportunities to observe research being done aren't things you should be so dismissive towards.
If we have 30 DO schools and 130 MD schools, in the top 82 (the amount published) we should expect about 15 DO schools and 67 MD schools. The actual results are 3 MO schools and 79 MD schools. I'd say that's statistically significant.

In don't know this sounds like an episode. Elaine meets a guy she really likes and get his number. He or she suggests they talk online but his username is bonerdude69. She consults the group. Kramer is unphased and tries to explain its normal to have an overly sexualized online persona, George thinks its tacky, Jerry is torn between dumping him or playing along with her own similar username as he knows if a girl gave him a sexy username he would probably play into it.

How do you feel Seinfeld would have done if it was on today? Also, what is your favorite topping on a bagel?
๐๏ธ _Seinfeld ยท 286 points ยท Posted at 16:55:58 on July 24, 2014 ยท (Permalink)
I don't know, it's very hard to move things around in time. Things exist because of time, in many cases. But I think funny is always kind of time-proof, so I think it could have worked even today. Obviously it would have been a completely different type of show. But you know, what made the show work was the bringing together a bunch of great actors & great writers in one place at one time. And that's just kind of like how a tornado happens, nobody really knows, it just happens.
My favorite thing on a bagel is vegetable cream cheese and double-smoked lox.

"would have done" is a weird way to put it since the show in itself is still doing so well - today. I just saw the new 7 train subway ads for syndicated Seinfeld and I couldn't be happier.
"Funny is always kind of time-proof" no - Seinfeld is time proof, it's a type of funny above the rest. It's special.

Jerry, like many others my age, we were raised on Seinfeld, so thanks.
My question is if any of the phone calls at the beginning of CICGC are authentic or are all scheduled/scripted? I would expect most of those guys and gals have your number and my friends who are far less humorous have some great phone pick up lines.
Second, if you have time, any thoughts on John Mulaney?

This is kind of an overused cop-out when people struggle to suspend disbelief while taking in fiction.
Any error or inconsistency, no matter how egregious, once pointed out, will inevitably cause someone in the room to turn and sarcastically flatulate a remark along the lines of, "Oh, and I suppose blahblah is realistic."
Fiction, including sci-fi/fantasy, doesn't get a free pass to plotholesville simply by virtue of being fiction. If you're the kind of person who's just in it for the 'splosions, punches, and hypermasculine struts toward the camera, that's great. Other people analyze. Don't poo on them.

The problem is that resistance to kryptonite depends solely on the author so I can't really say how effective it would be. IIRC, some authors claim that he can wear biohazard suit or if he chills around in the core of the sun, he gets temporary immunity to kryptonite. That's really depends on an author, but I don't see why Superman can't just fly high into the air and kill Bats with heat vision if he wants to.
TasteeWaffles ยท 2 points ยท Posted at 18:45:34 on July 24, 2014 ยท (Permalink)
The temporary immunity to kryptonite was All-star, because he was supercharged and dying anyways. Also I don't remember the biohazard suit (he did use something similair to stop Solaris) but lead blocks it as well.

It all depends on the constraints of the question. Collateral damage? Does someone find out first? Prep time?
I mean, Superman could throw a meteor at batman from space and just destroy anything around him. He doesn't have to punch his enemies til they admit defeat. So you redefine the question or details to avoid that kind of outcome, but then you're just constructing the question to give the answer you want.
BrazilCarge ยท 2 points ยท Posted at 19:31:24 on July 24, 2014 ยท (Permalink)
Here's the thing, no matter what Superman is doing, 90% of the time he is holding back. He's scared that anything he does will harm bystanders, which completely blows the reboot movie out of conceivable theory, but I digress. Obviously, if we dropped Batman and Superman on a deserted planet, Bats would definitely lose. But in an environment where Superman is trying to keep collateral damage to a minimum? Batman has a chance to win, given he can get close enough with Kryptonite Knuckle Bracers
Shmitte ยท 1 points ยท Posted at 19:38:24 on July 24, 2014 ยท (Permalink)
But Batman doesn't kill. And the reason they fight influences their motives and acceptable collateral damage. And the place, and process of beginning the fight. Every detail matters, and any construction that covers all the necessary details will be too narrowly tailored to resolve the issue at the heart of the question. The confines of question itself defines itself in such a way as to guarantee a specific answer.

In the Frank Miller series Batman actually THROWS A FIGHT against Superman to appear that he's dead. He was kicking Superman's ass up until that point. He has a ring made of Kryptonite Superman gave him in case he's ever mind controlled or something.

Frank Miller was a douchebag hater, whose work is not considered by anyone relevant to be canon. YOU could write a comic about Prepman kicking Clark's butt, and it would have the exact same amount of validity as his story does.

That's cool and all that you feel so passionately about a comic from 20 years ago, but the kryptonite ring is cannon in other places, so it really doesn't matter

Superman also has a notable weakness to magic. Well, not "weakness", but magic in the DC universe treats him the same as it does other mortals and ignores his invulnerability. So a magic sword can still cut Superman, magic spells can do damage to him, and notably Captain Marvel (Shazam in modern times), who can go toe to toe with Superman physically with his natural powers, sometimes even has a slight advantage with his magic lightning.

I saw injustice on Justice League. Great storyline. I use to have a friend that often asked why Superman always seemed to get beat up before ultimately winning a fight. There is a bit in Justice League where he explains it, pretty much saying the world is fragile compared to his power and he constantly puts his strength in check for the good of humanity. Even though he could win a fight against Batman, his morals would probably prevent him from going full speed, and you'd need something like the injustice storyline for that to change.

Nobody can beat Superman in a 1v1 fight. Superman's weakness is that he's really not very bright, and consistently gets beat up on before he pulls himself together and overcomes the adversary.

Any of the "big guys" can do it (anti-monitor, spectre, etc.)

Well in the Grant Morrison Run of JLA Issue 13 and 14 a huge part of the plot centers on the fact that Batman has a contingency plan for if each member of the Justice League goes rogue and has prepared means to defeat each member, including Superman. It really depends on which universe you're working with here.
uw_NB ยท 1 points ยท Posted at 20:12:30 on July 24, 2014 ยท (Permalink)
realistically Batman would never take a fight that he doesnt have a chance at winning. Batman is a strategic mastermind for the justice league and himself alone is a clever detective. If he were to take a fight, there must be means behind it and if its a fight against superman, he would definitely comes prepared.
Yes in a ideal perfect world, a punch of superman could easily kill any human being if not destroying a city/civilization at his will. But Batman's job is to make sure that ideal world does not happen. Superman despite his super power still has many weaknesses: Kryptonite, his philosophy and psychological health are also manipulatable to a certain degree. He also has loves ones that he cared about who could be used by Batman.

Green Arrow only had one arm, and was just used as a distraction. If it wasn't GA, Batman would have found another way to hit Superman with some Kryptonite. The actual fight was very one on one, just that Batman did some prep work to ensure the one on one part would go the way he wanted it to.
Also, keep in mind, the whole purpose of this fight was that Batman would appear to lose and die to get the government off his case. Batman just wanted to embarrass Superman a bit on his way out.

Batman romances Lois Lane and gets her into some kinky stuff. He convinces her that enemas are the ultimate way to get a man off. He lets her give him constant enemas and he acts like they are the best thing he's ever felt. Then one day he says to Lois that her ears are funny looking and he can't get past it. In fact, he can't imagine how any man could love her with those ears. Lois Lane is devasteted, so she runs for the only man who she knows wouldn't care about her funny ears, Clark Kent. Afraid to lose him, she begins sleeping with him. Wanting to keep him, she convinces him to try an enema, as she now believes that men really enjoy this. Unaware that Batman had been using water filled with Kryptonite the entire time. Clark not wanting to lose Lois, let's her give him a massive Kryptonite enema. Batman swoops in at this point and defeats Superman in his weakened and most likely very painful condition.
The end

Well it just so happens this is an unsolicited, direct reply to Jerry Seinfeld. That's what happened. Jerry Seinfeld left a mundane, unsuspecting response on the internet and you adorn it with a perverse tale of conniving manipulation and sexual exploitation of his personal hero, as one might draw a picture of dick-butt on the company sexual harassment notice on the break room bulletin board.
And that's wonderful. Somehow that makes me feel alright with the state of the world.

I refer you to The Dark Knight Rises.
Also, and to a lesser degree, the Joker plays him like a violin in The Dark Knight, which is in part due to the Joker being so ahead of everyone, but he even tells Batman that he expects more of him. A few times after it is shown that beating up the Joker is useless Batman continues to do this and expects results. And that part where he throws the Maroni off the third story and Maroni tells him the whole thing about the rules. Batman should have known all of that.
I don't remember any specifically stupid things he does in Batman Begins, but I don't remember him outfoxing anyone.
As to Reeves Superman, he actually has less muscle tone than Bale Batman, which would make any scene where Batman is punching him to no effect so hilarious. It would be so funny. I now wish for this as well.

Disliking cilantro has nothing to do with being a super taster, it's genetic. I know being a super taster is ALSO genetic, but they are not 1:1, or even correlated. I get really annoyed when people misinform people over some shitty article they didn't even read properly in the first place.

It feels like you are one of a decreasing number of superstars left in comedy that sees the value in clean humor over shock humor. So much of what people seem to find funny today (younger audiences at least) can be construed as offensive in one way or another; Obviously, some more blatant than others. I think what makes Seinfeld and your stand-up so timeless is that it feels innocent and pokes fun at human tendencies, rather than casting out specific stereotypes. Do you consciously make an effort to craft your work in such a way, or is it just what you find funny? Did the constricts of television in the 90s keep you guys from doing more of what we would end up seeing on Curb Your Enthusiasm or were you comfortable in the only medium you had at the time?

I think the last statement would be the best way to characterize it, I was comfortable in the only medium I had at the time. And when I began my career in the 70s and 80s, you had to be clean to get on Johnny Carson or any of the shows. So that's what I became, and I found I liked it better anyways, because it felt harder and like more of an accomplishment when you could pull it off.

As a person who designs games for a living, I typically find people are more creative when they are given restrictions. They really rack their brains and come up with interesting workarounds and solutions that go beyond what they could come up if they could do anything they want.

??? The Stripes toured for years with only the two of them. When his music became more complex he added a person here and there. If you don't like Jack White, that's fine, but the idea still holds true. When you're given limits you have to be creative to fill the space.

Most famous example is perhaps the shower scene from Psycho. Hitchcock wanted a straight up stabbing, but due to film restrictions at the time, he wasn't allowed to show the actual stabbing happening (i.e. they couldn't show a knife touching skin on camera - can't remember if this was industry-wide or just something specific to a particular studio or something). So, he was forced to show her getting stabbed without showing her actually getting stabbed. As a result, what would have been a (at the time) shocking but otherwise ho-hum murder scene instead became arguably the most iconic moment in the history of film.

Jaws is also a good example. They could not produce a realistic looking shark and had to rely on obscure views of the prop. Anything better and people would see it was fake. But that's what made it a huge hit and established summer blockbuster films!

There was a special he did with Chris Rock, Louis C.K. and Ricky Gervais and he mentioned that he did do a joke once when he was getting started and used "Fuck". He got a laugh but when he went back over the material he realized the joke didn't work without using "Fuck". He said something to the affect of "If the joke doesn't work without the curse words, I won't use it. The material needs to be good on its own."
I'll try and dig up the clip.

It's hard to tell with comedians, because it's very difficult for a comedian to find that other format to be funny in, after you've learned how to be a comedian, it's a very difficult thing. And that's one thing a comedian needs to get to the next level, is that second format - you can perform in a club, but you need to be able to do a second type of thing that is similar, whether it's a talk show or a sitcom or a movie, or driving around in a car getting coffee.

"As a comedian, I always get into situations where I'm auditioning for movies and sitcoms, you know? As a comedian, they want you to do other things besides comedy. They say "alright you're a comedian, can you write? Write us a script. Act in this sitcom." They want me to do shit that's related to comedy, but it's not comedy, man. It's not fair, you know?

Do you watch any British panel shows like 8 out of 10 cats, QI or Would I Lie to you? They seem to be great vehicles for a rotating group of comedians.

First of all, it's bio pic. Not biopic. Who would I cast to play me? Who would be good playing me? It's very hard to play a standup comedian, or a baseball player, it always looks fake when an actor tries to do it. Daniel Day-Lewis would be too heavy. You know who I think would be good? Would be Matthew Broderick. He's got a good small funny. You need a small funny to play a comedian, not a big funny. Most comedians, you know, in their daily life are small funny, it's the little looks, the little things that they say, they're not clown-y.

It's probably easier for him to dictate to her than to type himself, and it would be a weird dynamic for him to read the questions himself, then dictate to her, the responses wouldn't be as fast.
I also think she chooses the questions, rather than him (though I'm sure he can skip ones he doesn't like). This is probably easier than explaining upvote-downvote, hot, top, ect, and ensure popular questions get answered.

For a long time I used to read it as "bye-opik" and didn't make the connection to biographical picture, although I understood what the word meant from context.
[deleted] ยท 3 points ยท Posted at 13:26:37 on July 25, 2014 ยท (Permalink)*
Same here. I think I learned how to pronounce it in 2012 via a Kevin Smith podcast where he specified, "though some people think it's pronounced by-op-ic, it's really bio-pic" (paraphrased). I don't spend a lot of time with people who care a lot about movies/film, so I had never heard it aloud before. Stephen Fry says (paraphrased) not to make fun of people who mispronounce words they've only ever read because this means they're making an effort at educating themselves via reading even if no one else around them cares to, and that takes guts.

I can't help but wonder if Jerry was just responding to how Victoria pronounced it (it is pronounced as "bio pic", even though most pronounce it as "bi opic"), rather than how it's spelled. If that's what happened, that'd be hilarious.

Sweden. Oh! I love everything about Sweden. I would say Saab motors, which is now sadly defunct, although there are rumors they are going to revive it, but I LOVE Saabs. I had a Saab in the 1980's, it was the first car I bought with money I made doing comedy, and it was a Saab 900 Turbo. I had it for six years. I kept it, maintained it beautifully, and I don't remember who I sold it to. But that's what began my Porsche problem, because then I started making really good money, and then the Porsche situation happened.

I'd like to clear the air here. First off, I love both the UK and US versions, but I can see where people wouldn't like the UK one. They probably watched it thinking that it was going to be similar to the US version. I have to say, as oblivious as Steve Carell is, it's kinda cute and funny. Ricky Gervais as David Brent is one of the most uncomfortable things I've ever watched.

We had funny making the Comedians In Cars getting Coffee logo, that was a lot of fun, I did that with an advertising agency, but when we finally got that all arranged, I really liked it. I wanted the show to have a homemade garage band feel, which is what it is, I mean, it's 4 people in the whole show, including me. We have 2 producers, 2 editors, and a cameraman. Plus me and the guest, but the guests don't really work on the show, they just go out for coffee.

If you were in the movie castaway, what kind of ball would be your wilson? Basketball? Football? Basically I guess what I'm trying to ask here is, what's your favorite sport?
๐๏ธ _Seinfeld ยท 44 points ยท Posted at 17:22:22 on July 24, 2014 ยท (Permalink)
Well my favorite sport is baseball. And there's no other sport that interests me even half as much. And the ball I would like to have if i was in Castaway would be a pink Spalding because it lasts a long time, and it's good to throw against a wall, and when you're all alone, you do a lot of that. It's a small ball, kind of like a baseball sized ball, and it's called a Pink Spalding. It was very big in New York in the '60s. There was also a ball called a Pennsy Pinkie that was similar, but I prefer the Spalding.

i just googled "pennsy pinkie" and the first result claims that there aren't really many (if any besides 1) left in existence. i don't know if i buy that, but i guess it only had a limited production time. weird. also it was created for the first raquetball nationals in milwaukee, which is where i live. so.. woot for that.

Jerry, here's the thing with coffee. It smells wonderful, almost divine. It's aroma is fantastic. Every time I smell that coffee smell, I'm tempted to try it again.
"Maybe I'll like it this time."
It always tastes like feces. It's awful, it tempts me by smelling so good, then tricks me and makes me regret my decision.
I guess I'm one of "these people".

The worst car-related experience I ever had - let's see, what would that be... I've had so many great ones... you know, to me, when you can't find a squeak that a car makes, that can completely unravel me. My first car was a Fiat 128, and I was just constantly hunting down little squeaks and rattles, I was always wanting to make it quiet, I hate it when a car is constantly chirping at you.
๐๏ธ _Seinfeld ยท 75 points ยท Posted at 17:01:09 on July 24, 2014 ยท (Permalink)
It was a good car, though.
I once had a lady in a pickup truck who was drunk at noon drive into the back of one of my old Porsches and smush it in at a traffic light, in Colorado. That's probably my worst car experience. I got out of the car, and I went back to her pickup truck, I opened the door, and there was this middle-aged lady who was drunk in the middle of the day, the smell just came, you know, pouring out, and I slammed the car door, and I banged on the hood, and then I left because I didn't want to spend one more second of my life around that person.
I also hate when people don't wave back when you let them in.

Why does everyone hate the Prius? I get hating snooty Prius drivers who act rude to people and are all high and mighty because they have one (after you talk to them to find out don't just assume!), but the car itself? There are uglier cars.... I actually think the Prius C is almost cute. It's like saying the AK-47 is a gun you hate because terrorists use it. It's not the gun's fault...
240nerd ยท 1 points ยท Posted at 17:56:55 on July 26, 2014 ยท (Permalink)
Honestly the reason why I detest the Prius is because it feels as if there is no connection between car and the driver. It takes away the raw feeling of communication between man and machine. Driving a car should be the closest thing to harmony between man and machine. It should feel orgasmic. As if you have the power of a thoudsand unicorns at the tip of your toes!

Are you talking about the thing with its transmission specifically (because you could go purist here and say that about automatic transmissions, too)? Or is it the fact that there's an engine and a motor and the way they behave? Something you can't put into words without being Jeremy Clarkson? I'd love to read a more detailed explanation, feel free to go into full rant.
I'm really glad you answered me, I never knew this was a complaint (at least, not a common one) about the prius. It's usually stuff along the lines of that South Park episode with prius drivers snorting their own farts (being so special their farts smell better than other people's). Your reason is about the actual experience of driving one, which is what it should all be about.

Hello, Jerry.
I was wondering what your favorite book is, and what do you put on your burger?
๐๏ธ _Seinfeld ยท 179 points ยท Posted at 16:19:43 on July 24, 2014 ยท (Permalink)
My favorite book. I think, geez, I have a lot of favorite books. I love ALIVE, the story of the Andes survivors, I've read that a lot, and I love Harpo Speaks by Harpo Marx. Because that's just a great story of show business. And what do I put on my burger? Ketchup. I also like pickles, onions if they're grilled, but no lettuce & tomato. Cheese is good, yes. But you didn't say cheeseburger. Yeah, definitely cheese, cheddar. No mustard. See if you can find that in London, Victoria.

OMG - Jerry Seinfeld puts the same toppings on his burger as I do!!!! OMG!!!
OK. I'm done freaking out now. Funny story though - One day, a certain popular burger joint charged me extra for extra pickles. They got a nasty letter from me pointing out how I SAVED them money by nixing the lettuce and tomato, so charging me extra was highway robbery. I've never been charged for extra pickles ever again, and I hope you haven't either. Thanks for the laughs, Jerry, & best wishes to you & yours!

Seinfeld made a lasting impression on our culture. On behalf of Reddit I would like to thank you for this gift to all of us. I remember having family time when I was younger and we would sit around the tv and watch this marvelous show was. To this day when I think of Seinfeld I immediately go to โThe Contestโ. My question is how did you guys get this episode approved along with several other episodes that pushed the boundaries of television?
๐๏ธ _Seinfeld ยท 1429 points ยท Posted at 16:04:45 on July 24, 2014 ยท (Permalink)
The way we got The Contest approved is that we never said any words that anybody had a problem with, everything was implied. And nobody ever questioned it at the time. We were a little surprised, but I think it was the way that we did it that made it work.

Seinfeld was the master of allusion, particularly in regard to sex. Instead of saying "penis," for instance, they would just say, "it," and not only did that allow for a broader range of sexual humor, but the fact that they would say, "it," was funny in itself for multiple reasons. The sexual allusions were a win-win for Seinfeld.

Yeah. It just seems weird to not more closely follow the creative output of someone who you are so closely linked to. If I were him and even if I didn't watch a ton of TV, I would definitely watch all of Curb and Veep. I mean, those people are like family and there's so much shared history. It would be a no-brainer to want to follow the stuff they are doing, especially when it's so critically acclaimed and award winning.
Just seemed kinda bizarre to me.

Well, he said he's watched it. He just doesn't watch it all the time.
I'd liken it to my experience with playing in bands. I'll go see old band mates perform, show my support, be complimentary when it's good, but I'm not at every show and I don't pick up every album. You can still be supportive without being dedicated, I guess is what I'm saying.

I get that, and having played in bands, I completely understand the example you use. But that's mainly because the people who broke off from my old band and started their own played pretty shitty music so I listened to enough of it or went to enough shows to be respectful and supportive. However, if say the bassist in my band spun off and created an Emmy-award winning album that millions of people loved, I'd probably pay more attention it.

I think a sink could crush a flashlight. Much heavier, if you dropped a sink on a flashlight, that flashlight's gonna lose. Unless it's one of those rubberized ones. But that couldn't do much damage to a sink, because of the rubber coating. I'm going to stay with the sink.

I read recently about a "no hugs, no lessons" philosophy of Seinfeld.. meaning nobody learns anything, and nobody gets a happy ending, essentially.
In this way the shows are very similar. They are both about a group of friends who do nothing good. teach no valuable lessons, learn no valuable lessons, and they're both at their essence, about "nothing".
So... what I'm saying is I see it.

The similarity is "show about nothing" with four (five) people, only one of them a woman.

Most sitcoms ask you to care about the characters, and get invested in their fictional lives. But both Seinfeld's and Always Sunny's main focus is the jokes. There's very little character drama. You don't even need to like the characters, or find them believable, to appreciate the comedy. There's no lesson at the end, or feel good "aaaww." You can just observe the situations and laugh. Maybe I'm a heartless monster, but that's how I like my sitcoms.

the inventiveness and trying out new things, on a rare level. otherwise different. i think it works very free, somewhat surreal and not misanthropic at all at the core. the most polarising feature might be the type of crudeness and extreme which is explored in a light-hearted way.

I think you're wrong. I think it would be lame, and I think it would be an embarrassment to the nice place that the show occupies. I'm absolutely happy keeping it the way it is. You can't keep asking for more of certain things, you know? one of the keys to life is having a sense of proportion, knowing how long to sit at a restaurant after you've eaten, or how long you should go on vacation - if you go to Hawaii for a month on vacation, I guarantee you that by the end you'll hate it. So it's the same with a TV show, you want to do a certain amount of it, so that when people look back on it and they love it. I could have easily done the show for one or two or three more years, but it would have changed the way people look back at it. I think I made the right decision. Because people like the show now even more than they did in the 1990s, because it didn't get worn out.

I think a lot of shows would be better served if they ended on a high note, instead of dragging it out for season after season (see: the American version of "The Office.") Sometimes there's only so much "juice" in an idea. Once you've explored it fully, it's time to move on to something new.

I mean-- downvote me all you like, but they couldn't even get the cast together in the same room half the time for the fourth season. Part of what made the show so compelling is the inter-twining story lines, and the chemistry between all of those actors!
I applaud their attempt, but I just think it ultimately fell way short of the potential (and the high precedent that the first two seasons set.)

Absolutely, the last sentence especially sums the whole deal up. However, I don't think there's anything wrong with the once in awhile skits that have been done with Seinfeld, notably the Curb Your Enthusiasm stuff and the Superbowl commercial. In any event, that's wonderful advice.

I have a bell curve theory for TV shows that almost always seems to fit. The best is the 80% in the middle - quality goes up, then down, then over. Obviously even your season 9 was better than 99% of TV out there, but I thought 9 was a little bit on the down.

Seinfeld's sweet spot were seasons 3-7. Seasons 1 and 2 were still finding their footing, and seasons 8 and 9 were getting slightly stale. Not coincidentally Larry David left after season 7.

This is a very satisfying answer. It seems that so many recent sitcoms (The Office, How I Met Your Mother, Scrubs) were all running way past their natural conclusion. It's just too difficult for networks to say goodbye to their cash cows.

Being old is great. There's so many things that you're done with. Like running really fast. I was single until I was 45, and I liked that, but then I couldn't take it anymore. So when you're old, you get to relax a little bit. And you can see much more clearly of what's going on in the world. When you're young, everything is really confusing, and when you're old you can see through people and events really clearly, and I like that a lot. So I think getting old has as much advantages as disadvantages. The worst thing about getting old is your knees aren't so good. But if you exercise, it's not bad at all.

I want to thank you for making this point in your show. I graduated from high school in 2001 and way back in kindergarten we were all given "2001 - first class of the new millenium" t-shirts, which I still have. Anyway, by the later 90s everyone in the media was obsessed with the class of 2000 as the first of the new millenium when in reality, they were the last class of the old millenium. The insane popularity of your show made many aware of this grievous, but still rather meaningless error, and then we could lorde our undeserved sense of 2001 superiority over everyone else!

No. Jerry asks, "did you book your party for the "millenium"?" and Newman said yes. Which means that Newman assumed he was booking for 2000 when in fact he was booking 2001. Which means his party is one year late. Late because 1999->2000 is the right time for the party, not 2000->2001.

Understood. But my point is, if you were going to have a huge NYE party, the right time to have it was New Years Eve 1999. You count down to 2000. That is when Newman intended to have his party.
But when Newman booked the arrangements, he booked it for "the millenium", which is in fact New Years Eve 2000, counting down to 2001.
Which is one year late from when he wanted.

Yes but in the episode Jerry goes on this long diatribe about how the real millennium starts in 2001 and if that's when Newman's party is then his party isn't what Jerry called "quite lame".
*edit actually I think they did mess up in the episode, because Jerry says that the real millennium starts in 2001 and I actually think Newman's party is in 2000 but Jerry says the party is late therefore being lame, when in fact it was a year early.
Edit* okay just watched the episode. Newman booked the millennium new year party at a hotel without realizing that the millennium new year begins in 2001 when he actually wanted a party at 2000. The way I remember the episode he was just holding a party at his house so I was wondering why you wouldn't easily be able to have a party it in the 99-2000 New Year. That's what screwed me up.

I actually remembered it like you did, I thought Newman booked it for 1999/2000 and Jerry was calling that lame because it wasn't the real millennium. To be honest it's a bit contrived that Newman would phone a hotel and book an event for the "millennium new year" with neither party ever confirming the actual date.
funkskipneedlebank ยท 2 points ยท Posted at 06:34:00 on July 25, 2014 ยท (Permalink)
Yeah that's why I was confused about Jerry saying it was a year late, how could it be a year late when it's 2000 as opposed to 2001? And like the hotel would assume you mean the new year as in 2000 to 2001. They would assume the new year as in 99 to 2000 more than likely. Seinfeld does a lot of weird things like that. Like when Jerry's girlfriend kept wearing the same outfit over and over, why wouldn't Jerry just ask her why she keeps wearing the same outfit? They do a lot of things for comedies' sake that you wouldn't do in the real world.

During the episode of Comedians in Cars Getting Coffee with Michael Richards, you guys run into a truck driver that looks identical to Michael Richards when he has his wig on. I thought it was hilarious. Was that scripted or did that actually happen?

doesn't he actually say in the show that this was, believe it or not, unscripted? i'm pretty sure he does and so the answer wouldn't be different.

Hey Jerry,
Regular sized fan here. I grew up on Seinfeld and watched it for many many years.
I was wondering two things.
Firstly, if Michael Richards had never walked through the door, would Larry David gotten the role of Kramer? Or was that just a joke for his show.
Secondly, have you and Larry talked about doing any more collaborations? I finally got around to watching Curb Your Enthusiasm, and while I love it to death, I miss you two together.
Hope being rich is as awesome as I think it is.

Friend of a friend relayed a story of how they were in NYC one time and, through happenstance, they crossed paths with you and a broken down car.
This person happened to be a hell of a mechanic and helped you on the spot, which lead to an offer by you to become Jerry Seinfeld's full-time mechanic. They declined the offer though.
Any validity to this?

I owned a restaurant. Seinfeld told me to change the menu to Pakistani. But nobody came! There were no people. Then, he got me an apartment in his building. But they mixed up the mail. And I never got my immigration renewal papers. So they deported me. It's all his fault. Him. And the woman. But they did not care. They're totally indifferent. All they do is mock me, just like they did the fat fellow. All the time. Mocking, mocking, mocking, mocking, mocking. All the time! Now it is Babu's turn to mock. Finally I will have some justice. Send them away! Send them all away! Lock them up forever! They are not human. Very bad! Very, very, very bad!

In the Seinfeld episode The Maid, your voice is noticeably rough and when George asks about it you explain that you were yelling at hecklers all night. "Last time I open for a rodeo!" I always figured that was written into the plot because you were actually dealing with a sore throat in real life. Is that true, and are there any other examples of things that you had to write into the show's plot in order to explain something the actor or actress was dealing with in real life?

In the episode with the haircut, did Elaine see your haircut before you took your hat off in the diner? I have watched this several times and her reaction looks genuine and George looks like he struggles to contain himself as well. Whether or not this was scripted, you all did such amazing jobs capturing the subtleties of everyday life! Thanks for your time!

1) You bought the dugouts
2) The construction workers would pee in the dugouts since the bathrooms were also being torn down
Is #1 true? Because #2 is true, and I really hope you cleaned those babies out before putting them on your property.

No, I don't. But there is a similar kind of feel for rhythm and tone in comedy as there is in music, I think. You have to, you know, words - you use words in the same careful way in a song that you use them in a joke. Having just the right word in just the right place seems to make it work.

Jerry! Hello! Can't tell you how excited I've been for this AMA, thank you for doing it. I'm sure you hear this everyday, but Seinfeld is my favorite show!
I unfortunately found out too late that you're doing shows not once.. But in three locations within driving distance of where I live in January and they were all sold out by the time I tried to get tickets. I hope you go on tour again soon so I can see your standup live.
Anyways, my question is- in the two part episode "The Bottle Deposit" George is given the big project by Wilhelm which George didn't hear because he didn't follow him into the bathroom. Later it is reveled that he needs to go to payroll to get started, then downtown (just like the song). Wilhelm forgetting to take his medication inadvertently already did the project.. But it's never reveled WHAT the project is.. What was George suppose to do?

In the poker game scene between you and Kramer from The Sponge, there are several bloopers of you cracking up with Michael that I absolutely adore. How many takes did it take to get this scene? Can you recall a blooper that took more takes?
Also, are there any other lines from the Buddy Rich bootlegs that you wish had made it into the show?

I'm going to ask you about heroes.
I've noticed references to Aquaman, Batman, Green Lantern, Wonder Woman, Plastic Man, Elastic Man, Spider-Man, The Hulk, Iron Man,The Fantastic Four, and of course Superman, but I couldn't help but notice that, excluding the easter egg of The Fantastic Four, all the Marvel references were in one episode, "The Voice." Are you as fond of Marvel as DC? Why or why not? Are there and heroes you like more than others, or hate more than others?
I also have a few questions about movies.
I remember reading that you were generally fond of Man of Steel, but what are your thoughts on its "sequel" Batman V Superman: Dawn of Justice?
How do you feel about Marvel's Cinematic Universe with movies like Avengers: Age of Ultron or Captain America: The Winter Soldier?
What about Fox and Sony with X-Men: Days of Future Past or The Amazing Spider-Man?
Are there any heroes you think are very deserving of movies, or hero movies and television series you're looking forward to right now?

Love the show, and make it a point to visit Tom's when I get to NYC. My question - have you ever watched the first season, and contrasted it to the last? You and the other main actors grew so much as both actors and people during the run of the show, that I imagine it's almost as if your life was documented for 10 years.
Further - I'm sure most of us have watched Comedians in Cars Getting Coffee, but if you haven't, make sure you do. Even if you didn't/don't watch Seinfeld (you monster), it's very entertaining.

Hi Jerry! Huuuuge fan here, and thanks for stopping by Reddit for this AMA.
I'm fascinated by meditation, and the video of you and Howard Stern discussing TM should take full credit for launching me into the world of mindfulness, meditation techniques and their benefits. So thank you for being a big influence on helping me discover this new path in my life!
I was about to schedule a TM training course...But the more I learned about Transcendental Meditation(โข), the more skeptical I became. I have gotten a world of initial benefits from non-branded TM meditation in just the past 6 months... but do you really believe all that stuff about yogic flying, infinite creativity, and invincible nations? Do you think it's the "special" and branded TM technique that has helped you all these years or would you have gotten similar benefit from some other mantra or breathing meditation techniques?

So is there any other insane food combination (e.g. pb&j in the same tube) you enjoy or want?
P.S. Thank you for being yourself and funny and bringing Seinfeld to the world. It makes my family and me laugh hysterically every time we see it.

Also would you ever consider doing an episode of "Comedians in Cars" with Thomas and/or other recurring character actors from the show?

I just want to say that I just turned 21, and while I'm sure I'm not your youngest fan, Seinfeld is an easily relatable, hilarious show. It's something I never pass up when I see it on TV.
Comedians in Cars was one of my favorite discoveries. Great display of cars, and the best comedians. Perfect combo!
My question is is there ever a chance of Seinfeld making it's way to Netflix, or is that up to NBC?
Second, do comedians approach you to be on Comedians in Cars, do you actually have that many connections to comedians, or do you actually call them 3 minutes before you pick them up?

Hi Jerry! I love the webseries, and your guests so far! I devour every episode. I was hoping you could answer a couple questions: You've explained your writing method before (just sit down and write something every day), but sometimes you've taken a while to finish writing (pop tart joke). When do you feel like you're "done" writing a joke? Or are they always evolving? Also: who is one person/act you wish you could have opened for but never have?

Hey Jerry, wanted to start by saying how much I love your style of comedy and the way you deliver your lines/jokes. From an early age I would watch Seinfeld reruns with my parents during dinner and it has been my favorite show for as long as I can remember. I have also kept up with CICGC since it began airing and view it as a really unique way to conduct interviews in both a comedic and natural way.
My question for you pertains to your recent interview in Esquire magazine. You mentioned that if someone is deciding between being a writer or an actor/comedian then more than likely they'll become a writer. I understand acting or performing stand up takes a different level of commitment and dedication, but there must be some people out there who go from writing to performing and have their careers flourish. Do you think its possible to do this and if so, how could someone go about it? And what advice can you give to aspiring writers who want to write comedy either for TV or movies?

Hey Mr. Seinfeld! Seinfeld is absolutely my favorite show so obviously I am a huge fan of yours and really appreciate your taking the time to answer questions. My question is, what was the writing process like for Seinfeld? For the most part, did ideas just come to you, Larry David and the writing staff so that you guys could would write whole episodes/scenes at one time or did the episodes take time to evolve or develop? Also, I love the unscripted and true-to-life feel of CICGC so I hope you continue it for a long time because it is hilarious! Again, thanks for answering questions!

Would you consider Seinfeld somewhat of a parody of observational comedy, and humor in general? It feels that way to me when I watch it. Not like a mean, derisive parody but sort of an existentialist examination of the purpose humor serves. It seems to have revealed many layers over the years, but I guess the important thing is that it was really funny and well-done all around.

I am a local filmmaker and it inspired me to invest in these also for my own Inventory.

It's curious to me that it seems many comedians are big fans for cars. I was wondering if you'd agree with that, and if so, why do you think that is? Also, are you familiar with the MDI Air Car, or the compressed air engines? I believe it was sold to Tata Motors, but I'm uncertain. If so, what do you think, and do you foresee a day when they'd be allowed in the states?
Thanks!

Hi Jerry! In high school I had an English teacher who said she went to a show where you were answering questions from the audience. She made it in line to ask her question but when it came to be her turn, she got so nervous that she fumbled her words. While she meant to say "What books do you read," she ended up saying, "Do you read?"
To which you responded, "Well of course I read!" ...and then the whole audience laughed and she went home in shame.
So my question for you is, what books do you read?

Hi Mr. Seinfeld (Jerry? Sir?)
There have been some articles published about your style of comedy, including an analysis of Seinfeld in Buzzfeed, and your New York Times profile, each trying to get at what makes you...funny. You come across as a very cerebral and hard-working comic, so it doesn't seem like you just throw jokes out and see what sticks. Do you find that there are specific types of jokes, or topics, that you (or audiences) find funny, or is it something that you just know after all these years?

I saw you do stand up in Asheville about 2 years ago and I've always been impressed by your refusal to stoop to cursing and filthy jokes for laughs. Is it difficult for you to continually write relevant material without resorting to the "easy" jokes? Also, I know you're buddies with Louis CK in your personal life but how do you view him (and others), who rely more on shock factor crude comedy professionally?
Bonus question: Do you keep in touch with Larry David, and if so is there more Curb coming, and will you be in any of it?

You have to be one of the most recognizable television personas in the past few decades, and I guess I just don't know how you deal with that.

In the first season of Comedians in Cars getting Coffee, I thought it was hilarious that all the most of the cars were blue. Did you run out of gorgeous blue cars or are you impartial to colors? By the way, I don't know if this is some kind of crazy conspiracy but I laugh so hard when I see a blue car now. Hilarious.

Aliens come, threaten to destroy wipe out earths population, but allow you to choose 100 people to recolonize a much richer planet somewhere else. Being fans of your work, they allow you to choose those 100 people. Other than me and the victoria secret models, whom else do you choose? (note: the VS models are for me, thanks buddy).

Hi Mr. Seinfeld. I'm a big fan of your show. Also I'm italian, and down here they didn't even cast Seinfeld, so I'm like double the fan than everyone is. Just one quick question: I'm also a big Louis CK fan, and I'm a little bit pissed: how come you're always trying to fool the poor Louie? Jokes aside, did you enjoy playing the bad guy in his series? I found it very funny because it was so not in tone with your usual persona.

I'm probably late to the party, but I've always wondered something ever since I started watching CCGC.
What's with the Porches? I learned afterwards you have a large 911 collection. I'm not even Jewish but I could never own a car named after a Nazi. As a Jew how do you balance it out? Someone once said to me that maybe it's a power trip, like here I am a Jew driving your fancy Nazi car and there's nothing you can do about it because your side lost. I thought that was a funny premise, but I doubted it was true. What's the deal with that?

Jerry, thank you for participating in these. I'm a huge fan of the show, CICGC, Curb, and your stand-up. My question is regarding my favorite season of Seinfeld, season 4 where you're pitching a show to NBC. I love the meta aspect to the whole season. How realistic was that compared to how the actual show came about? With "Jerry", it seemed like they didn't appreciate the "nothing" idea very much, and the butler was added. Was anything like this pitched for the actual show?

The mindset of a man putting on a tuxedo for the first time is really interesting.
You start off holding a grudge against the tuxedo for something completely out of it's control. Someone is forcing you to go to a black tie event that you would happily attend in jeans and a t-shirt, and you take this out on the innocent tuxedo.
You angrily slip on your knee high pair of $17 dollar black dress socks, and you feel like a complete idiot when you catch a glimpse of yourself in the mirror wearing nothing but those socks and tighty whities.
Once you slip a leg in to those fitted pants though, something starts to change...
Feel free to use that for inspiration! Good luck.

Hi Jerry! Love CiCgC.
In your interview with Letterman, he suggested that this web series could end up being just as important (or even more important) than the Seinfeld show. You dismissed that as being silly. I got the impression that you were very proud of Seinfeld (rightly so!) and that CiCgC isn't something you feel you're putting nearly as much energy into.
My question is, how would you feel if CiCgC does end up being the thing that you're most remembered for? What if you do ten seasons, and people who grew up after Seinfeld know you for this silly web show? Does that idea upset you?

There's so much more going on in it. Comedians in Cars is great and it's fun and I love it, but I just don't think it is the same kind of show. But I'm just glad people like it.

Jerry, you are my idol. I recently had a job interview where they asked me if I could be any person, who would I be. Odd question, right? Well, I of course said Jerry Seinfeld. I got the job.
My question to you is, if you could be any other person, living or dead, who would you be?

Hello, Mr. Seinfeld,
Have you ever done the Kramer Reality Tour?
Any recommendations on how to re-experience some of the old "Seinfeld" magic?
Thank you, and congratulations on Comedians In Cars Getting Coffee. Quite Funny.

Have you ever considered doing a one off episode of CICGC where you you just pull up to some random person on the street and see if they want to get coffee with you? We could call it "Normal People drink coffee too".
It'd probably be more misses than hits, but it could make for really entertaining stuff.
Also, did you really drive Aziz's bus? Was that a challenge or had you done that before?

In the web series, you often talk about how stand-up comedy is the only "real" comedy form. Why do you look down on other comic forms?
It seems like the skills to create a humorous novel are pretty different from the skills to create a stand-up joke. Or are you suggesting that once you're good at stand-up, all other kinds of comedy will be pretty easy to master?

I've noticed that your comedy and your interviews are almost completely devoid of puns or wordplay and instead your humor comes from unexpected contradictions and unexpected implications.

Before your more recent show I tweeted at you saying I still remembered the row of cookies joke from a decade before. Then you told it again!

As the boundaries of comedic television widen, and shows can be more and more vulgar, I think it's hard for younger generations to appreciate older comedy series.

Hello Jerry!
Growing up I watched Seinfeld ALL THE TIME with my Dad. After my parents divorced, it was hard to adjust to not having my Dad live in the same house as us. Very few things back then that we could be happy about. But my siblings (younger sister, older brother) and I would watch Seinfeld when we spent time with him, it was the one thing that could always make us laugh uncontrollably, and forget about how life was for 30 minutes at a time. On behalf of my Dad and siblings, I just wanted to say thanks for helping us get through some rough times. WHAT IS THIS SALTY DISCHARGE FROM MY FACE WHILE I WAS TYPING THIS?!
As for my question, how often do you get asked to quest in other peoples TV shows or movies? I feel like you are someone that everyone wants to have in their creative project at some point. Do you have to turn down a lot of roles? If I ever make it big as a filmmaker will you consider playing a Jiminy Cricket type of character who helps put my conflicted protagonist back on the right path?

Now, the question. From what I've read, you have a very meticulous and structured writing style & schedule. Can you explain it more in-depth, and do you still follow this structure? I'm a musician who has struggled with writer's block in the past, and am always looking for new ideas to avoid this.

As an aspiring comedian myself, i love your new webseries as it is a great look into the personalities of a lot of personal favorites...keep up the great work and love the cars!
Sorry right a question... hmmm...
With the success of the comedians in cars getting coffee web series, have you ever considered doing another tv show, or do you find the freedom of a webseries more fulfilling than the demands of being in studio?

Hi Jerry! It's a common observation that many plot lines in Seinfeld wouldn't work in today's world, where cell phones, texting, and other types of instant communication are common. If you were still writing episodes today, what misadventures do you think Jerry, George, Elaine and Kramer would find themselves in that never could have happened before? Would Elaine have posted her unfortunate Christmas photo to Facebook? Would Kramer reinvent the Merv Griffin Show as a web series? Thanks for being here to answer our questions!

Thank you so much for doing this again, your last AMA was a lot of fun to read. I'm a huge fan of Seinfeld and one of the many impressive things about the show to me was the sheer number of guest stars from the series that went on to be famous in their own right. Bryan Cranston, Patrick Warburton, and Sarah Silverman all come to mind. Do you have a favorite guest star from the show, and/or perhaps a funny story about one of them in their "pre-fame" days?

Hi! Many years ago, you came to Dallas and had a meal at a place my friend worked. He was, um, a portly gentleman. When he served you, he said, "I am your biggest fan." And you didn't even look up from your newspaper or what not and said, "Literally." Now, that's funny. Thanks for giving us that story to tell for generations.
Now that I got that out of the way, I remember a few years ago on twitter, you tweeted something like, "I love when people tweet me quotes from the TV show I was on in the nineties." I know that must be annoying and all, but wouldn't you kind of expect people to embrace what they most know you for on social media as opposed to maybe more current projects they don't know so much about?

Hi Jerry - thanks for being here, I absolutely love Seinfeld and CCGC!
I always wondered, when you introduced the character Susan for George, did you plan to kill her off from the beginning or is that just a solution you saw to get him out of the marriage? Such a hilarious plot line!
Also it looks like you guys just had a blast over nine years of filming, and I love watching special features and the bloopers!! Thanks for such an important show and huge part of my growing up!

How do you feel about the "Seinfeld isn't funny" phenomenon? In other words, the idea that people who watch the show today think Seinfeld is cliche and unoriginal because they're all normal, standard sitcom plots without being aware that you were completely groundbreaking at the time, and they're normal standard plots now because of Seinfeld. Sort of like the idea that you don't understand the big deal about Hamlet because it's just a bunch of famous sayings one right after the other.

I'm wondering if this is a general policy, or was a one-off for the Tick Tock? If some other restaurant you reviewed had a manager in a murder for hire scheme would do remove one star for them as well? Would a mass-murder be a two star reduction?

Mr Seinfeld,
What do you think separates a good comedian from a great comedian?
In the Aristocrats, George Carlin talks about liking to take people to a place that they find uncomfortable, that they would never go to on their own, then bring them back and make them happy they went. LouisCK does something very similar. This is something more than just being funny - although being consistently funny is hard enough. Do you think there needs to be something on top of the funny to propel somebody to the level of great?
I don't mean to talk so much about other comedians - I think you are a great one as well.

Thanks for doing the AMA Jerry! Seinfeld was one of the most influential shows I watched growing up, it made me want to make people laugh. Earlier you were talking about small funny, that's pretty much my comedic style, witty comebacks, eye brow raises, pregnant pauses. My question is how do I translate that into stand up? I've tried stand up before and I found it to be a hell of a lot more work when you don't have someone right in front of you to bounce off.

Hi Jerry! Ive been a big fan as long as I can remember. After living with my mum after my parents split for most of my life she didnt like your show because it reminded her of my dad but reconnecting with my dad later on, your show played a big part.
If it werent for our weekly seinfield night I dont know where I would be now. Now when I get homesick a chuck on a season dvd and laugh till my cheeks hurt.
If there is one question that both my dad and I would like answered it would have to be:
Was thst the real joe dimagio in the dunkin donut episode? Our bet is it isnt. But weve always wanted to know.
Thanks so much! -jake

Hey Jerry,
I recently started binge watching Seinfeld, and heard about the actor playing Elaine's father being too scary to be a recurring character.
Why wasn't he just re-cast, like was done with your original father and George's father?
Also, why does your apartment number on the show keep changing?

Bee Movie is one of my favorite movies. It is truly a brilliant movie riddled with so much wit and social commentary. Thank you for making it.
You have done very few movies and Bee Movie was made in 2007. Do you have any plans on writing/producing/starring in another motion picture?

Adam Carolla once said on a podcast that you heard about his "rich people/poor people problems" bit, basically problems that only exist for both extremely rich and extremely poor..e.g. - outdoor bathrooms., and told him that was a million dollar idea and he should run with it.
He often credits you for inspiring him to monetize many of his ideas because he never thought about monetizing bits into books and merchandise until that conversation with you.
Do you remember that? If so, what is your recollection? And how does it make you feel when you hear other successful comedians were inspired by you?

Jerry!!!!
1) At the beginning of the series, George's character seems more like the cool friend who had an actual job and was kind of street smart and gave experienced advice. Was there a deliberate decision to turn George into a loser?
2) Early episodes have a much slower pace, more pauses and touchy feely convos about relationships. The show got more cynical and faster-witted as time went on. Was that a decision or did the writing just get tighter as the show went on?
3) It seems the casting for the show was phenomenal. There are so many characters in Seinfeld that are portrayed perfectly by the actors...and then that actor is not so compelling when in other roles. (I'm not speaking about the main characters or Mr. Cranston!). Was that great casting or great writing?

Hey Jerry I've been a fan of yours since I was young. Been raised on Seinfeld and even now if I have the opportunity to catch an episode on TV I'll rewatch it again. Which brings me to my question when, and if ever, will Seinfeld be released on Blu-Ray? It's been on sale in the same DVD box for years and could really use an upgrade.
Also I'd also love to suggest doing an episode of Comedians in Cars Getting Coffee with Don Rickles- if you need someone for him to make fun of instead of yourself I volunteer myself.

I watched the episode recently where Kramer takes showers that last an hour and can't figure out how to speed them up, then just starts making food in the shower. Amazing lol. My question is how can you act along these guys and not crack up all the time? By far my favourite show!! Thanks for that!

Any advice for us unwashed masses?

Do you feel like your social-satire humor is lost on the newer generations? Most of the Seinfeld scenarios and misunderstandings are now unbelievable with today's technology (facebook, cell phones, information apps, etc.). On the other hand, however, newer technology can open up a whole new can of social-satire jokes (such as running a 'Yelp!' smear campaign against the "No soup for you!" guy until he lets you buy soup again).
I'd just like to know how you feel about that, open-ended question.
Oh! And do you find yourself coming up with Seinfeld episodes in a modern-day setting?

Do you feel like an American Monty Python, perhaps? Seinfeld is one of those shows that will still be talked about, and relative, in a 100 years. It was brilliant on so many levels-and I feel like it relied on talent and whit more than shock. You can watch it with a child and laugh, and both are laughing, perhaps, for two different reasons. I guess I'm trying to say that the comedy was so genius that you can watch the show as a kid and laugh, then watch the same episode as adult and laugh just as hard, but perhaps for a different, more nuanced reason. That's rare. When you see similar qualities in other comedians like Python, Carlin, even Youngman, do you go "wow-I'm one of those guys now?!?"

Hi Mr. Seinfeld! A dumb question I've had for years is about "The Dog." When your character is hollering at the unseen Farfel and meanwhile talking to Elaine, you say, "I'm not sure this IS a dog..." Is that because the barking is obviously made by a human (likely Larry David)? Back when I started watching the show I thought the line meant something along the lines of "This is no dog, this is a demon," but now I'm pretty sure it's poking fun at the bad dog bark imitation and just want to know for sure...what is the meaning of that line? Thanks in advance!

I know I missed this, and you'll never read this, and I know you rode in a Leaf with Letterman on your show once (and dismissed it, wrongly I think, because it's a good car), but you guys should really use a sporty EV in one of your shows at some point. I think Letterman has a Tesla Roadster, doesn't he? How about featuring that on your show? If you haven't driven one, you should. It's a blast. You can drive mine if you're ever in Orange County, CA :-P
I'm sure the upcoming NSX plug-in hybrid will be fun too. But I'm talking a pure EV.

When the decision was made to end Seinfeld, it was the #1 show on TV and the audience had grown by 20% in its final season. Was there tremendous pressure from fans and the network to keep it going? Did any fan or exec ever come close to convincing you to bring it back for a 10th season?

Jerry. No. Mr. Seinfeld,
I've wanted to be a comedian ever since I was a kid, devouring marathon sessions of Rosie O'Donnell hosting Stand Up Spotlight, and any other damn source of comedy that I could find on TV.
You too are a great inspiration, and even more so now that I've discovered CCGC. I swear my heart literally (not figuratively) aches with longing to pursue that dream whenever I watch your show. You and your guests are so insightful and enviably entertaining.
So, with my fawning out of the way I must ask: I'm 32 and I have a family. Is it too late to make a run at show business? How many consecutive bombings does it take to find out you're just not funny enough? I think I'm willing to bomb a lot. I also think that typing that sentence on the Internet just got me on a lot of government lists.
Thank you for what you do. Comedy is such an important thing.
Oh, and could you please not ever stop doing your show? I want to have a stretch goal.
Thanks again.

I forget people's names. It causes me to sort of panic when I am supposed to know someone. If I was ever to become famous, it would be the freakiest thing ever. I imagine all sorts of people would come up to you making comments about your shirt not being puffy enough, your wife's sneaky vegetables being just sneaky enough (or not, I suppose), I would probably get overwhelmed and punch a lot of people in the face.
Also, how often do you masturbate?

When people are throwing parties, they set a time and nobody shows up at that exact time. If you're punctual and show up on the exact time advertised, nobody is there and things tend to get weird between you and the host (I've literally had to wait while the host was showering).
I asked my friends about this, and they told me to come in fashionably late. I do not know how late fashionably late is, but I tried showing up an hour late, and apparently that's too late.
My question is this; how late is fashionably late?

One of my favorite things about Seinfeld is that you and Larry and the writers weren't afraid to give great scenes to guest actors. Were any of those written with that person in mind or was it always just great casting? Be it the lawyer Jackie or Mr. Bookman or Jimmy or my personal favorite, the mohel, I just can't imagine anyone doing those parts better. Also, odds of Bryan Cranston and Michael Chiklis going from quickie roles on a comedy to playing two of the best dramatic characters in TV history?

Mr. Jerry Seinfeld !!!!!
What an honor it was to see you live in Las Vegas back in 2012. You're probably my favorite comedian/famous person ever. My mom had a boyfriend that just loved your show and when he introduced my mom and I to it back in the 2000's we instantly became hooked. Love your work on CCGC! Just wanted to let you know that you really have made peoples life better.
Since I must have a question... could you please send my mom anything signed? She would go bananas...
edit: just saw that I'm to late :(

Hello Jerry, I really admire the fondness you have for the "joke". A true master of the art, like a batter who can slam any pich, the precision of your jokes will land everytime. This is in sharp contrast to other styles of the art that maybe turn over material instead of sharpen a joke. It is incredible to watch these aspects of zen applied to comedy.
I suppose my question is, what part lf you molded your style in this way?
Also i have had many a dream with you and i exchanging conversation in diners and airports and such, i feel it is a sign of our paths crossing some time. I happily await this momment.
One love, Isaiah

You have to choose a number, and that number will be the number will be divided by 2 then added by 9 to decide what how many questions you answer in this AMA. The original Number would also correlate with how many Baby Polar bears you will be given in 11 years. What number would you choose and why?

I watch it on a daily basis and am always surprised how timeless it is; it never fails to make me laugh. I am from the UK and it always surprises me how few people here have watched Seinfeld. People have heard of you, but many people don't know who you are or why you are famous. I also follow Jess Seinfeld on Instagram - she seems awesome and your family seems really cool. Thanks for being you and for bringing so much joy to my life. Please come to England?!

I'm watching through Seinfeld for the first time, and on season 7. I absolutely love the show. Somewhere around 5th season, I was reading a bit more about the actors and found out about the Michael Richards incident in 2006. Unfortunately, I haven't really been able to enjoy the show the same way since.
I know you appeared on Letterman to talk about it and Richards was clearly pretty distraught (in spite of the completely inappropriate laughter from the audience). I like to think he was just trying to be outrageous and went too far and that he is not a racist, but it's impossible for me to know. Have you remained friends with Richards, and do you have any thoughts on the incident?

Life-long fan, but recently I thought I started to understand how your shows worked. If you have discussed your script-writing in the past and I have not seen it, I apologize. In any case, is it that sitcom followed the flow of a comic routine, where you would start off with a normal situation, which, like a comic routine, seems to get more and more ridiculous until it comes to some ironic punchline?

Damn I'm too late for you but I had a really good question.
Do you think you're extraordinarily talented at what you do, or do you think you're just an extraordinarily hard worker at what you do?
You're definitely one of the best out there, but one difference I've noticed with your comedy and others is that a lot of other comics always talk about their laziness and lack of wanting to do something. You on the other hand I always see spouting out different hobbies and coming up with great things to talk about that seem to show you are intelligent and work hard.
Not to say any style of comedy is bad, but sometimes I just wonder.
Another question to get off my chest to the no longer present Jerry, is when do you consider yourself funniest? In regular banter where you have a reaction to a conversation and come up with something on the spot, or when you can actually sit down and write something while thinking about it intensely?

Mr. Seinfeld, I run a restaurant. You ate breakfast with us when you were in town here last year. Even though we were all HUGE fans, and truly excited to see you in person, let alone serve you, we all decided to play it cool and tried not make too big a fuss (although, to be honest, we were freaking out.) Was this the right move? We thought that you might be more comfortable that way and thus enjoy your meal more.
I also wanted to say thanks for eating with us. Seriously, I love my job, pretty much everyday, and it is one of my favorite things that ever happened in there. I am a huge fan, and so is everyone I know who has even a modicum of sense.

I just wanted to ask you that even though you're only part Syrian Jewish, have you ever felt an affinity for Arab culture (or more broadly Middle Eastern culture in general)? Have you ever felt a disconnect from the many very European Jews you've met for looking different or for having strange customs (if you do practice any Middle Eastern customs that is)?
If your mother never really pushed her culture on to you then sorry for bringing this up and just ignore this comment. Though I would be quite suspect of a mother from that region to not do such a thing hahahaha.

Q: do you recall this??Damn- I just missed the cut off-
About 6 or 8 years ago, my wife and I went to see you on your stand up tour, at the Kennedy Center in DC. We were 2nd row right in the middle.
You had literally just finished with a skit abusing people who get up in the middle of your set- and my small bladder wife- decides she can't wait any more. She has to go to the bathroom "right now!".
I'm doing everything I can to keep her from doing it. I know you, and everyone in the entire place- (minus the one row in front of us.) is going to see this unbelievable set of humiliating circumstances.
ho lee phuk - sure enough. She does it. She gets up- and starts climbing over all of the people to get out- and go to the lady's room.
I'm totally mortified.
You were completely professional- and handled it waaaay better than I did. You said nothing and just kept on with your routine.
Dear baby jesus was I embarrassed and pissed. lol
Anyway- loved the show. You are hilarious. Thanks- and next time I see you- we'll stick to the back and on the end.
:cheers:

Here's my question: Which episode of Seinfeld do you feel would absolutely not work in present day due to the ubiquitousness of cell phones?
Also, I can't post this without saying that Seinfeld show is hands-down my all time favorite show and that you, Larry David, and all the writers who worked on that show are comedic geniuses!

Hey Jerry. Thanks for doing this, I think your show was/is just too funny. My question is why does it look like your holding back a laugh in 90% of the scenes you're in yet you never actually laugh?

Mr Seinfeld, I'm a fan of your work, but I feel like CiCgC is really contrived and forced. I feel this way because I see you in the drivers so often, figuratively and literally. Even if the other comedian is just having a good time and goes with the flow, it often feels contrived. Any plans on really getting out of the drivers seat and letting the comedians who come on the show steer the conversation? I just find it topical and contrived, which is not entirely unexpected when the conversations are steered and the trips so meticulously planned.
Get some coffee, get out of the city and get lost on the backroads. I feel like that would help the way I feel about the show. Stay off topic and get lost in it.

Mr. Seinfeld!
You probably will never see this, but I suffered from insomnia the first 21 years of my life, and I found out last year that watching old episodes of Seinfeld really calms my brain and puts me to sleep. Also eating a big bowl of cereal helps.
Question: Do you have any tips on work ethic? For the show, you worked a decade straight and anyone with a great work ethic has very interesting mindsets and principles. Any tips?

My dad, brother and I all love "Seinfeld" so much. I am 18 now but when we were lucky we got to watch an episode or two before bed. Because of this, we got him a full Season every year for Father's Day.
HERE'S MY QUESTION: What age did you/are you going to introduce your kids to the TV show? Also, "The show about nothing", in my eyes, takes everyday circumstances and adds interesting twists, and moral dilemmas. Did a majority of the episodes have to give a lesson to a certain extent, before being passed for screening. Or were the episodes truly about nothing. I loved every single one either way.

if i had a question, what is your favorite episode and why?
for me it has to be the pen
as the show really felt it found it's stride here
and that one goddamned line!

Hey Jerry! You're one of the greats sir! question for you regarding Comedians in Cars. It is such an inspirational model for those who want to create their own content as comedians - but is it self sustaining? Does it actually make a profit? I know a bunch of comedians who of course want to do something similar, with their own website and player, but no one is sure if the branded sponsorship is worth it for someone to invest in the project. If you could give this direction a thumbs up, it would inspire my team!

Do you see Seinfeld as being one of the last great shows of its time? I mean, some of the biggest plot points on the show revolved around the cast basically not being able to get ahold of each other. How could someone ever duplicate that kind of situational humor, in this age, where people have all kinds of tools at their disposal to prevent them from getting lost/losing one another/etc?

Your interview with Steven Colbert was really interesting and hard to measure the reality vs. fiction of the tension between you two. I always wanted to know what you were trying to say near the end of the 2nd part of the interview. This is when you say to Steven "Please! Please! Finish your thought."
It sounded like you were trying to describe the difference between comedians and actors. What thought were you trying to finish?

Hi Jerry,
When I was 9 years old, I read your very funny book, "Seinlanguage". I especially enjoyed the observation that people never pay enough attention to their feet in the shower.
I dutifully incorporated both feet into my daily shower routine, and after 23 years of scrubbing, I can honestly say my feet feel the difference! So thank you for setting me on the right path!
My question : What exactly is so funny about the name Johnson? I've noticed you use it a lot when referring to off-the-cuff hypothetical characters, and find it very funny myself. Did you sit down and choose that name and why is it such a funny choice?
I tried to ask these questions 6 months ago but decided to wait hopefully for a follow-up AMA. Please don't make me wait another 6 months!
Thanks.

So, why do you think you made it?
I don't mean to be insulting - I'm a fan - but I also know a decent amount of writers and actors. Some of them have made it, others have had to give up and the common denominator between the successful people simply isn't purely talent. Talent, maybe, but also perseverance and definitely some luck.
Many would say that they're not the one everyone should be so impressed by - that their friend who never made it deserves it more. There's always a comic's comic, for example - who even other comics acknowledge jut never got the breaks or something maybe not better. OK, having set the stage, imagine you're that guy. Let's just say that you were the guy who finally had to give up, the guy who got none of the breaks, whatsoever.
I know it's a depressing question, but what I'm really trying to get at is this: who would you be, unsuccessful non-comedian Jerry Seinfeld? What would that version of you do?
I'm framing the question in such a strange way because I really want to remove the "I'd just have stuck at it, I can't see myself ever doing anything else" answer.

Hi Jerry! I spent a few hours yesterday watching the bloopers on YouTube--and I watch very little TV. It occurred to me that viewers who were young adults when the show premiered in 1989 see it as still part of the fabric of everyday life. (For example, whenever my husband or I get whiney, the other will say, "I don't wannabe a pirate," and it's all over.) but young adults today see it as a bygone era, with shoebox-sized phones and huge cars. So how do you deal with the inevitable passage of time and "When I was your age," and all that?

Two questions. 1) I've been re-watching all the Seinfeld series. I have to say it's definitely my favorite comedy program ever. I have noticed several scenes where you are clearly smiling while saying or especially screaming something - did you constantly laugh on set and was it so funny to you that you just couldn't help it? 2) I noticed a definite change in tempo, perhaps script, acting methods etc from about season 5 or 6, as well as the fact that the intro and outro comedy skits were removed - what happened there? Thanks for being awesome and continuing to make us smile.

Mr. Seinfeld,
First of all, thank you for helping to form the man I am today in my formative years with Seinfeld. I accredit much of my sense of humor to the show.
My question: If you had to do something else, what profession would you have chosen and why?
Lastly, Comedians in Cars Getting Coffee is the only place I can find videos that don't stutter here in Afghanistan. Makes being deployed a little easier being able to watch them. Thank you for that.

Does the style or particular crowd determine if you're funny? I personally don't know anyone who watched your show & finds it hilarious as I do or anything else for that matter. Its as if my sense of humor is strange or people lack much of it. Anyways thanks for this opportunity & everything else. Adios.

Mr Seinfeld. Sir. I know this was started 12 hours ago but I hope my comment reaches you. I just wanted to say that most people I observe dont impress me very much. Most funny guys, most smart guys even. But you sir deserve to be followed and broadcast.
It is my humble opinion that you should be appointed ambassador of humanity. In this role, should aliens ever land I think you would be best suited to represent us and generally manage things. Especially if they turn out like jar-jar binks.
I suppose, if we could get the work out of you, that we could use you as a sort of Henry Kissinger backup/stand in. North Korea? Send in Seinfeld. Russia? Send in Seinfeld. I think even world leaders would have a hard time dismissing you. Right now America needs you to mediate between the president of the united states and congress. I'd pay good money to see that.
I hope you dont mind being frozen in carbonite from time to time, but I am confident you can be brought up to speed quickly when things unravel.

"Will it have all kinds of anti-Semitic depictions of Jews, make outright racist charicatures of Eastern Europeans and feature a small cadre of Baby Boomer sociopaths with no redeeming features?"
"Will it ever!"

Sorry but I don't find that tired schtick about Jews being cheap, neurotic, sexually weird etc. remotely funny, nor do I find the tacky Borscht-Belt carictaures of Eastern Europeans being these hyperkinetic manic three quarter Gypsy stereotypes funny, neither.
Jerry Seinfeld had a moment of clarity when they wrote the final episode to describe the entire cast of characters as self-obsessed, sociopathic, and basically unfit to stay in human society.
He should stick to being unable to close his mouth over his teeth and stand there making pointless pratter about... NOTHING.

Hi Jerry, I know I'm late to the party, but I wanted to ask anyway. I grew up watching Seinfeld, and as such, my type of humor was formed and influenced by the show. It's my favorite show in the world and can't picture a day I'll stop watching reruns because of how well it still resonates with me. Do you think that if Seinfeld was released today with the original episodes, people who had never seen Seinfeld would like it? I feel sitcoms these days are so different than Seinfeld and was curious to hear your take on whether the humor would still resonate with people in today's age.

Hi Jerry, welcome back!
There have been actual academic papers written about why Seinfeld did not gain a lot of popularity in Europe. What is your take on this, despite people from other countries (including Europe) loving the show once they are introduced to it?
Also, do you have any advice for people who are serious about showbiz, be it writers, actors, etc.? I remember Jimmy Fallon saying he used to sneak into Seinfeld tapings back when the show was on!

Two Questions.
1.) What prompted you to switch mediums when you started working on Comedians in Cars Getting Coffee? Did you find it very different from shooting for a television audience? 2.) You have been sentenced to death for a crime you did not commit. What would you choose as your last meal?
Congrats on your continued success and I look forward to the new CCGC Season!

Hi Jerry, A huge fan of all your shows. I just wanted to ask whether the books of P.G. Wodehouse have had any influence on the series Seinfeld, its stories, writing styles etc.? Every time I watch the show I am reminded of P.G. Wodehouse a lot and just thought would ask you this. Thanks a lot.

Hey Jerry, I love CCC. One complaint: You show great respect and tell the history of each of the first 2 C's but seem to phone it in on the coffee. Would you ever consider letting the viewer know where the coffee is from , and how its made (Chemex, Aeropress, French Press, etc)?

First of all your show was the biggest inspiration for me to relocate to NYC 9 years ago this October.
I recently started writing with a partner of mine. We're working on a new show idea and through a lot of trial and realize it's the hardest thing in the world to do.
Can you give us some of the best advice for starting a new show?
He's a stand up and tells everyone you're the sole reason he became a stand up.
Seinfeld as a television show will always be timeless and to me is "the beatles" of t.v.

Hi Jerry I had a couple of questions I wanted to ask.
First of all, I recently watched your show for the first time (would of watched sooner, but itโs not available easily in the UK) and it has really made me realise that I want to be a stand up comic. What advice would you give to me as a young adult who wants to start doing stand up?
Second, the finale of your show ended with the four protagonists facing each other in the cell block, and I couldnโt help but think you did this to mirror how the majority of the show was spent, with the characters sitting like this in the coffee shop. If this was a conscious decision, what made you want to end the show in this manner, as a posed to ending it with a much happier ending as other sitcoms in the past have?
Thanks for all the work youโve done in comedy over the years. You serve as an inspiration to me.

You mentioned "an attitude of success" in the program where you discussed comedy with Louis CK, Chris Rock and some British nutjob. It seems to me that there is plenty of talent out there that sabotages itself with a bad attitude. The core of the bad attitude seems to be that 1. bad results are someone else's fault and 2. that the performer has no obligation to satisfy the audience (they should simply recognize my genius.) Can you articulate what you consider to be a successful attitude?

Were any of them hesitant to reprise their roles, or were they all thrilled to be a part of it?
(Side note - as I was typing this at my desk at work, I overheard someone in the hallway walking by say "Oh, that's like when Costanza had to lie about his handicap." Amazing how prevalent the references are.)

Jerry, hello.
You've mentioned that your writing involves a lot of extreme fine tuning - shaving off a word, taking out even a single beat to change the 'meter' of a joke. In the Comedians in Cars episode with Michael Richards, you even mention him 'playing that instrument.'
This aspect of comedy fascinates me - the structure and form of it, and once I got a peek, I've been trying to pull that curtain back, and see it from the perspective of a writer or a comedian. Watching Seinfeld with audio commentary by you or Larry or Larry Charles, your biggest laughs come from little snippets of good writing or storycrafting just as often as a great delivery .I almost feel dizzy, like there's an entire world I've been missing.
My question is this: with my newfound interest in this aspect of comedy, where do I go from here to really delve into this thing? And which comedians do you feel really appreciate it, who might not be widely popular? Who, in your eyes, is a Comedian's Comedian?
Thanks very much.

The amount of time I spend watching gifs from Seinfeld and laughing hysterically is probably unsafe.
Do you have one particular little "clip" from the show that you love more than others?
Like Newman laughing hysterically and then crying out in pain and finding a fork in his chair...so not a whole scene just a little snippet from one.
Sorry for the lack of insightful thought, I hope you will forgive me.
Also---We have the same initials and this has always been something I've been proud of. That's cool right?

That Talking Funny you did with Ricky Gervais, Louis CK, and Chris Rock for HBO got me thinking about comedy in ways I never before had. Plus, it was absolutely hilarious. How much of that--if any--is scripted/directed (i.e., scripted questions that steer the conversation down certain paths), and how much is off-the-cuff genuine conversation? I want to believe it wasn't scripted/directed at all, but I'm pretty sure television doesn't work like that.

Jerry, I notice a lot of mispronunciations (โSven-Jollyโ, โBoogedyManโ, Statue vs statute) /interesting cadences (Bunk-Debunk bit, Spanish person ordering seltzer bit) / funny sounding (โAlec Berrrrgโ โCinnamon Babkaโ)jokes that seem to pepper many Seinfeld episodes. I think these jokes add a lot even though they may be unrelated to the overarching plot or just a few seconds. Is this something you and Larry made a conscious effort to incorporate? Or was there another writer/director/producer that was influential with adding these jokes? Thanks for making the greatest show of all time!

I've really enjoyed every episode of CiCgC. I've noticed that in the past season you have moved away from just "cars" and "coffee." Is that trend going to continue? I did like the simplicity of the original concept (and the show reminds me a lot of Talking Funny on HBO).

Hi Jerry, my family and I are a huge fan of all your work from Seinfeld to CCC, In your CCC episode with Larry David, you mentioned you stopped eating cereal.What sparked such a drastic change?
On a similar note, During your episode with Tina Fey you drank those wheat puff milkshakes,what exactly made them disgusting? They looked delicious from my point of view.

What's up Jerry?
In the episode where Elaine has to guess "Next Stop Pottersville" in order for Mr. Pitt to get a spot holding a string on the Woody Wood Pecker balloon, the two characters have a short dialogue, and in the background you hear what sounds like radio commercials but is actually Larry David ranting about something. Do you remember what he was saying? I've always tried to listen in but could never decipher it.

Hello Jerry, I'm a big fan of your stand-up, Seinfeld and CiCGC from the UK. I saw you perform in Manchester a couple of years back and it was brilliant! Just wondering how it feels performing your comedy to non-US audiences? How much do you have to adapt (if anything)? Also, are there any UK comedy programmes that you're a fan of? Cheers,

Caught up on all the old episodes when I saw you on The Daily Show last week. Loved them. Howard Stern seemed like he had tons of issues and hangups. It also seemed like you didn't particularly like him. So, what's the deal? Is he someone you would have over for a BBQ? LOVED the Mel Brooks, Carl Reiner episode. Reminded me of being back in Baldwin Harbor hanging out with friend's grandparents in the early 80s.

Hey Jerry! I am an avid sneaker collector as well as an avid Seinfeld watcher. I always like seeing the sneakers you wore throughout the series including a few different Jordan variations. Do you have any particular sneaker that was your favorite? Also if Nike or Jordan Brand approached you to do a shoe based on the series similar to their release of the Jordan 5 "Bel Air" pair from last year (since Will Smith wore Jordan 5's in fresh prince of bel air) would you be up for it?
PS: Please come back to Cheyenne, WY for a show!

You have a very relaxed approach to everything nowadays and it's just pleasant to watch you have get-togethers with Louis CK, Ricky Gervais, and Chris Rock, you make appearances on shows, and CiCGC is fantastic! You truly did make a show about nothing.
My question is, how has your perspective of NYC changed over the years as you rose through the ranks as one of the best comedians of your time?

Are you familiar with America's Got Talent? They have standup comedians, but to get to the big show they have to pass through a stage of doing their act in front of just the 4 judges. Do you think it's fair to make a comedian work an empty room like that? From a viewers perspective, it is excruciatingly painful to see some of them flop, because they're funny in front of a crowd, but if the 4 judges aren't feeling it, you can cut the awkward with a knife.

One thing I've always felt was a shame was that Seinfeld never made it huge in the UK. A lot of comedy fans know it now through the DVD's but most people I know over here still haven't seen it, and look blank when I drop things like "yada yada yada" into everyday conversation.
Was this something you were aware of at the time? How do you find UK fans respond to you now when you come over?

Hi Jerry,
Love the show! I think the sense of normalcy you have around people staring at you and your guest in restaurants is probably the funniest angle to the show. I also like the honesty of it, and when you have candid conversations with your guest about life experiences. Don Rickels was a total treat, he's one of my all time favorite comedians.
The thing I always wonder about while watching this is when the camera isn't rolling, do you still call these same people up and take trips out for coffee?

Hi Jerry! I've been watching your show religiously for the last 10 years (bought all your DVD's) and have seen you live twice, in Miami and Ft Myers, FL. I know all the episodes by heart almost :) I've always wanted to meet you just to say "thank you!", but never had the chance. Can I at least get a "hi"? :)

Have you ever been trail Riding in a jeep? I've only had 2 seater sports cars for the last decade or so. Climbing over rocks was quite a change from the grounded feeling of a car.
I've been looking for a premium oatmeal. Never thought I'd find it here!
I have a younger wife and she did not watch the show before I introduced her. It's great watching with her, every episode is like the first time!
Thanks for all the Laughs!

I always catch these AMAs hours after they start. Hopefully you'll see this. I saw your show in Vancouver a little while back and it was hilarious! They best part though was when a person in the audience kept yelling, "Where's Kramer?" You stopped your show to explain in a very condescending tone what the difference between real people and fictional characters is. My friends and I still laugh about it! Any chance you're planning to swing by the west coast anytime soon?

Mr. Seinfeld, I have so much to say about how your comedy has shaped my own way telling jokes. I always loved watching your show everyday and dying of laughter, Seinfeld is by far the best T.V. how to ever air. I own the full nine season, it's majestic.

Hi Jerry, big fan, really excited to see you making some kind of show again. A couple questions. From the Seinfeld, who was your favorite, non-lead actor/actress to work with?
Are there any sitcoms out now that you would say are on the same level as Seinfeld as far as popularity and/or cleverness?
And a little different question, I've been looking into a new vehicle coming out called the Elio... Ever since i saw it a few months ago here on Reddit I thought it was an interesting design and then price point they have a goal of achieving is also a benefit. 2 questions here. What do you think of a lot of these new vehicles coming out with these designs, would you drive one? And in your show It seems the theme tends to be around classic, obscure, and interesting cars, are there plans to do more modern cars like the one i mentioned or possibly any from the tesla line of cars?
I know you probably have your inbox full, but thanks for answering this communities questions!

Hi Jerry,
I've gotten here far too late and you probably won't see this, but I've been rewatching Seinfeld and I'm on season 4. One of the main plots in this season is about how you and George got a deal writing a show about nothing for NBC. My question is, how close was your portrayal of being offered a deal by NBC and the writing process on the show to how it really went down?
Thanks, you're great.

Hey Jerry, first off, id like to thank you for the 180 episodes of a show about nothing. Still beats any comedy show put on the air since. Is there a line from the show that you quote in your everyday life? And please, go on Top Gear UK. Not because I want to see you drive, but because that show needs funny guest stars that actually know a thing about cars.

Hey Jerry, I have a couple Porsche questions for you
What are your thoughts on Singer Vehicle Design's work on the 911?
I will never forget the first time I saw a Porsche Carrera GT in person. I was in Paris and saw a yellow CGT stopped at a red light, it was outside a theatre that was letting out and it got swarmed by a bunch of tourists taking pictures, when the light went green the driver floored it. The sound of that V-10 was amazing and still resonates with me like 8 years later. Which Porsche has the best sounding exhaust note in your opinion?
Can you describe the headaches/hassles/red tape you had to deal with when you got your 959?
Do you see the 918 as the modern day 959? A technological showpiece that will eventually trickle down into future models? How soon do you think it will be before we get hybrid 911s?
Thanks, really loving Comedians in Cars Getting Coffee, did you find driving the Kenworth intimidating at all?

Mr. Seinfeld,
You're one of my standup heroes. And you seem like a... stand-up guy as well. My dad was a hotel manager in Orlando a few years ago, and you stayed there after a show. He said that you requested a TV on the pool deck so you could review the show that you just did, but there was an issue because the smell from emptying the grease traps was interfering with, well, being coherent on the deck. He said you were so classy about the situation and that always stuck with him.
I need to ask this though, what do you look for when reviewing your own performances? I'm looking to maybe do more standup, and I'd like to get some pointers on how to improve.
Thanks!
Edit: There is a question in here. It's "I need to ask this though, what do you look for when reviewing your own performances?"

I think these jokes add a lot even though they may be unrelated to the overarching plot or just a few seconds. Is this something you and Larry made a conscious effort to incorporate? Or was there another writer/director/producer that was influential with adding these jokes?
Thanks for making the greatest show of all time!

Do you find people assume you are your character from Seinfeld?

Hey Mr Seinfeld, I am a big fan of everything you do, standup, tv, bigscreen, webshow!
I have a question for you. What do you think of the Comedian Emo Philips?

Jerry! Several times throughout the show, reference is made to 'Camp Taioga' ... Just wondering if it was you or Larry that attended Camp Taioga, and if it was you, what kind of effect did camp have on your career as an entertainer?

Jerry, imagine yourself having a Groundhog day. We've all seen what Bill Murray would do. How would YOU manage to stop the day from repeating?

Why yes, I do, but not so often now on both counts. I miss those halcyon days. How 'bout you?

Hey Jerry, I was wondering if you as a writer know when something is going to be a success. I'm think about that bit from the car rental where you told the lady about taking and holding reservations. Who came up with that? It's genius... or should I say "Gold Jerry, Gold!"

If the other cast members had said they wanted to keep going past what became the final season, would you have made more?

Hi, Mr. Seinfeld! My mom and I are huge fans of yours and it just so happens to her birthday! If it isn't too much trouble, it would make her day if you called her and wished her a happy birthday. If I PM her phone number to you, would you please give her a call? Thanks and keep up the hilarious work!

When writing for Seinfeld, did you ever prod Larry David's personal life to get inspiration for writing George's lines?

My sister is a HUGE Seinfeld fan. Would you please say โhiโ to her? Her name is Michelle. It would be great for me if you did this as her birthday is coming up and if I get you to say hi to her, sheโll be so happy I wonโt have to spend very much money on a real gift. It sure would make my life easier.

Jerry, First and foremost, your show is the best ever. My husband actually got me into it back when we first met. We quote it all the time and it's amazing how we can fit moments from the show into our daily, boring lives. There are two episodes that we always wondered why you or Larry never fully explained what happened. First was "The Pie". Why didn't Audrey eat it? Or is that the mystery? And "The Seven"...why does she wear the same dress? I'm sure you did it just to bug us but I wonder if you have a creative theory to explain it to use fans even years later. The show always had a great way of wrapping up each episode. Thank you for being hilarious in this crazy world. We need more clean, funny men like you! CCC is great! ~Elaine's girl

Hello Jerry! First Off, growing up in Bolton Landing, NY there wasn't a lot to do outside of being on Lake George so it was always very cool to hear that you would be showing up for the NE Porsche Convention they had a few years ago. Second, when do you take delivery of your 918?

Do you take any inspiration from blackadder? Blackadder and seinfeld seem very similar in a weird way
