Ugh...Seinfeld sucks

[SpursforSix]

back in the day, this was GOAT discussion. I loved this show. But it doesn't stand up today. The jokes and feel seem very era dependent. Maybe every show has this to some degree but some hold up better.

[Thread]

I never understood the appeal to begin with. My kids loved it. I wouldn't hit a dog in the ass with it.

[InRareForm]

Great show. Stop being a hipster

[ChumpDumper]

Really the first successful show where none of the characters was actually likable. Somehow that show shone a mirror on society without any one person watching realizing the show was about him/her.

[GeorgeCostanza]

Where do you all get your ego? It was a show about nothing.

[Biernutz]

To each his own---some people thought Bevis and Butthead was the funniest show on TV..

What the hell does that mean? Are you saying you want a piece of me!?

You have held on to that name since 2006 and now your time has come to use it in a thread...lol.

congrats on on remembering you had it.

[Strange Love]

So you made two accounts for it? Very original.

That's totally inappropriate. It's lewd, lascivious, salacious, outrageous!*

That's a cartoon. Cartoons are like reality TV,,,done only to go on the cheap and save $. I'll do neither.

It's my religion.

[bigzak25]

Its been in reruns for 17 years and now you say it sucks...shows don't last forever. Helluva run.

I'll watch on rare occasions, but once you've seen an episode two or three times already. ..

Although, it still brings the funny just as much if not more than a lot of the shit on tv these days...

[Drachen]

I've always hated it, I couldn't stand any of the characters, the "jokes" were unfunny and I couldn't stand the sped up pen music that they used for the show.

I enjoyed Frasier from the same time period

[mingus]

C'mon how can anyone not laugh their asses off at episodes like "The Marine Biologist" or "The Red Dot" to name a few?

I love the show.

[Infinite_limit]

You could argue Seinfeld perfectly dissected our society at the time. It made light of corky social norms etc. That is how you pull off a show about nothing.

But this is also why re-watch ability is so high. To this day Seinfeld reels in monster ratings. Because you could click on nearly every episode and it stands alone. Meaning no need to know side characters or even main plot lines.

I'll still click on an episode late at night and it's still good. Really good.

Yeah...those at classics. The one with the wooden Indian...Dolores...
I used to love the show but seems like when I watch it now, it's not as good as I remembered. Maybe I was too hard on it.

[gambit1990]

seinfeld is the shit. curb is really good too.

[Saved By Zero]

Seinfeld never gets old. I still laugh even though I know each line.

[SpursforSix]

seinfeld is the shit. curb is really good too.

Curb is awesome. I had a friend who was always making a big deal about how funny it was but I never watched it until probably season 3. Was immediately hooked.

[tlongII]

Best. Show. Ever.

Can't even imagine how big mouse's spreadsheet is that contains all his usernames and passwords.

[SupremeGuy]

The fuck are you talking about? It's one of the few shows that's still funny as fuck. It's ageless humor.

Seinfeld = Beatles

May not be the highest climax but it is the most consistent quality. Very few scenes of mediocrity in this sitcom. When people ask me of the best show I have ever watched, it is Seinfeld

[HarlemHeat37]

As a Black man, there's nothing for me to relate to in Seinfeld, tbh:lol, but I still think it's one of the best written comedies of all-time, and I actually think it holds up pretty well today, at least compared to other shows from the 90s and earlier..

Generally speaking, comedy(of all types, shows, movies, stand-up, etc) ages worse than any other facet of entertainment/sports, tbh..

[UncleLeo]

Will somebody answer the damn phone!?

What about George being unemployed?

[Spur|n|Austin]

Seinfeld was the greatest show on television and it's still entertaining as hell.

OP probably watched Friends.

[CouchPotato]

Watching it now. :tu

[Mikeanaro]

Its gold Jerry! gold!

[Infinite_limit]

Each of the 4 took turns carrying the storyline.

[GoldToe]

5-7 nightly

[SnakeBoy]

Seinfeld has always been the show that tells you if someone is able to laugh at themselves and society in general. People who can love it, people who can't think it's a dumb show.

[lefty]

what about "Maroon Golf" guy, who happened to be black ? :lol

[JoeChalupa]

Seinfeld is the only Box Set I've ever bought.

I've been watching some Seinfeld reruns lately. Good show. Still holds up.

Let's not get carried away here. :lol

[ohmwrecker]

I'd say top 5 sitcoms.

[Spur|n|Austin]

Yeah Ohm is right, I should have said best sitcom of all time, but you know - that's just like my opinion man.

What do you think is the best sitcom of all time?

[Reck]

Dont really have one. Hard to like one consistently.

I like Seinfeld, dont get me wrong but I just dont take sitcoms as anything worth having in a list for.

I would say The Office from season 1-4 is my favorite though.

[ChumpDumper]

You mean David?Glen's name is David?

Yeah The Office was great up until Michael Scott left, the last funny episode was when Will Ferrell cameoed.

[JoeChalupa]

Glen's name is David?

:lmao

I'm back baby! I'm back!

Married With Children is still my #1 sitcom. But I can't think of anything else I'd pick over Seinfeld.

[baseline bum]

I thought The Office went way downhill when Jim and Pam hooked up. The writers on the orginal were smart enough to not have Tim and Dawn hookup until the last 15 minutes of the series so that it went out on a high note.

[mrsmaalox]

I've always enjoyed Seinfeld. `I really like My Name is Earl and Everybody Hates Chris too.

[Spur|n|Austin]

Married with Children was great - way ahead of it's time.

I tried watching the UK one. Didn't take.

Their humor is is dry as fuck. Also could barely understand and identify the funny words they use.

I liked that they could tell dirty jokes in the original version, since they don't have the level of censorship we do.

Seinfeld was great. That along with Married with Children, King of Queens, Malcolm in the Middle, and 70's show were all my favorites growing up.

I couldn't get into the original The Office either in spite of the fact that I love Britcoms. I don't know if you've heard of it, but my favorite britcom is The IT Crowd----highly recommend it, it's pretty good. I believe there are 4 seasons on Netflix.

[Pick of Destiny]

To hell with the brits.

Best Britcom is Peep Show, also on Netflix. It's like Odd Couple meets Always Sunny In Philadelphia.

Still my favorite comedy of all-time. Shit's on TBS several times a day during the week and I watch at least 2 of them. I disagree about the jokes not holding up too.

[CouchPotato]

3 straight hours on TBS in the afternoon. I don't even need the remote.

[bus driver]

Seinfeld is funny,
Curb is fuckin funny

[Xevious]

Seinfeld fucking rocks. Even though I've probably seen every episode a dozen or so times it still makes me laugh.

I don't know man, do you have any examples of it being era dependent? Right off hand the only episode I can think of that probably wouldn't work now is when they're at the mall and looking for their car in the parking garage, since who goes to malls now?

[Bender]

Yeah I agree. I don't think Seinfeld is era dependent at all. Just as funny now as it was then, maybe more so...

[Bartender]

The highlights episode on now. Classic.

[hater]

Can OP pls post a show from today that can stand a chance vs Seinfeld? The only 2 I can think of is the office and the one with Danny deviti. Anything else???
