I knew someone who knew Jason Alexander-they said he’d refuse to talk to people on the street who called him “George”

"Frankly Jerry Stiller has always creeped me out. He’s the closest thing to a real life troll I’ve seen." You clearly haven't ever ridden a bus.

I have always thought that part of the brilliance of Seinfeld was that nothing was too sacred to handle, be it left, right christian, jewish or name a religion. You could look at Festivus through the lens that it mocks made up holidays like Kwanzaa just as much as it pokes or other holidays. The way he treated abortion on the show IMO shows it even better. Papi was a good hearted man who was pro-life while Elaine became a mean stereotypical feminazi over the issue.

His show, at least when it was in it’s prime, is what is lacking on TV today.

Bagels are on me!

(But I got a lot of problems with you people!)

Seinfeld Ping List. To be on the list, you must bring me a stamped card from Atomic Sub. Or just ask.

Oh come on, everybody saw how shallow and awful they were, only the weirdos wouldn’t see that.

What I find a little distressing is that nobody realizes what utter and total buttmunches Niles and Frasier Crane are. I mean, they are truly evil.

Plus, Jerry made out during Schindler’s List, not The Passion of Christ.

It’s as legitimate as Kwanza.

The show was anti-Christian.

Seinfeld co-creator Larry David an anti-Christian? Really?

Larry David Blasted for 'Curb' Episode Where He Urinates on Jesus Painting (October 29, 2009)

Where are the people who now go to Schindler’s List specifically to make out?

Thanks for the ping, Larry.

Seinfeld made fun of everything. There was the babbling Rabbi who couldn’t keep a secret. The cigar store indian episode which totally came out against PC-ism. The Aids Walk ribbon episode, “You’re a ribbon bully.”. Jerry and company had a lot of laughs at the Jewish people as well. The ‘anti-dentite’ episode. Uncle Leo seeing anti-Semitism everywhere. Including the cook at the coffee shop. “They don’t just overcook a hamburger.”.

So, chill. I think the people buying the poles are the strange ones.

Ask him if he's still a Pepper...

One of my favorite lines:

*******************

Jerry (to a Catholic father): I wanted to talk to you about Dr. Whatley. I have a suspicion that he’s converted to Judaism just for the jokes.

Father: And this offends you as a Jewish person.

Jerry: No, it offends me as a comedian.

The same priest with ELaine and Puddy.

Priest-”Often times in cases of interfaith marriages...”

Elaine-”Whoa. No one’s gettin’ married here. We’re just...having a good time.”

Priest-”Oh. Well, it’s easy then. You’re both going to hell.”

Puddy-”No way man. This is bogus!”

Elaine-”Aww, don’t worry. It’ll only seem like an eternity.” Makes devil horns. “Ahhhhhhhhh.”
Priest does the same and laughs.

Poles serve only one legitimate purpose.

Well, two, if you include fire-fighting.
