What did you do with the rest of it?
Sticking pins in lifelike facsimiles of various posters on the Afterword, northern chapter.
He must spend some time not quoting sitcoms? DFB is the great Viz character that never was – every word bubble a line from a sitcom or a Monty Python movie.
You are clearly not a fan of the “if you can’t say something nice, don’t say anything” school, I see.
If my comment was “not nice”, Mauritz, we find ourselves in some kind of Enid Blyton fairyland. DFB has previously been called an algorithm for his ability/propensity to quote comic lines.
So yes, your comment hurt me, and I wonder why you felt the need to make it.
Oh boy. The clip below is one of mans’ greatest achievements
Strange now to watch characters in a world without mobile phones. The early 90s really was a different country.
The Limo is still the best episode. Pure genius.
Coincidentally enough, due to a bout of illness keeping me sofa bound for a few days this week, so have I. Now I remember why George Costanza is my hero.
“You ask me to have lunch, tell me you slept with Elaine, and then say you’re not in the mood for details. Now you listen to me. I want details and I want them right now. I don’t have a job, I have no place to go. You’re not in the mood? Well you get in the mood!”
FUCK OFF. Cunt.
(John Cleese – Life Of Brian)

When answering machines were often vital to the plot in terms of misunderstandings and revealing infidelity
My faves. The Contest, The Hamptons, The Boyfriebd, The Outing, The Parking Space, The Limo and The Pen
Contrary to what my beloved wife thinks, I think time watching Seinfeld (umpteen times) is never wasted.
Women – they’re working on a whole different level
I vaguely remember one where Jerry briefly borrows and old man’s pen and says to him that it’s a nice pen. The old man, who is in the same condo complex as Jerry’s father, says “keep the pen!” . Jerry doesn’t want the pen. That’s not what he was saying.
Doesn’t sound like that would stretch to a whole show, but it does – it’s a work of genius and very true to life.
That’s ‘The Pen’ – Jerry’s dad’s friend says it was given to him by an astronaut. and that it can write when you’re upside down.
Amazingly, I own two of those pens. The ones that can be used in zero gravity, in space. The ones that can write upside down. The ones that can write under water. They’re the Fisher Space Pen. Oh yes. And I’ve got two of them. Hooray!
I got them on eBay. They’re pretty good. And as I’ve got two of them, I suppose Jerry Seinfeld could have one of mine….
My all-time favorite Seinfeld scene. It makes me laugh outloud every time even though I practically know it by heart.

Sorry. For some reason, you apparently have to go to the link for this one. It’s the car rental scene.
Over the years, I have read hundreds of suggestions for what the ‘best’ Seinfeld episode. Nobody seems to agree with my two favourites. Oh well – if you’re interested, here they are:
In second place: “The Rye” – particularly for this scene where Kramer takes over a horse-drawn carriage, feeds the horse an enire tin of Beef-o-Roni, and then treats Susan’s parents to a ‘romantic’ carriage ride around Central Park, with the horse farting at them like a trooper.
I laughed so hard I almost gave mysef a rupture.
In first place; “The Bottle Deposit (Part 1)”
This is the one where Newman and Kramer load up a mail truck with thousands of empty beer cans and drive to Michigan so that they can get the higher 10-cent deposit on each can in that state. Brilliant!
My favourite sitcom, by far. I have the masive 33 discs box set (of DVDs). The “notes about nothing” (optional subtitled trivia) are often almost as much fun as is each episode they’re accompanying.
I’ve watched all the series many times and it still entertains me, hugely. “No hugging; no learning”: cool!
