I dont get it

Can a millenial explain this meme?

Congrats, you're a jewish urbanite thinking everone outside of his own narrow perspective is weird.

>>213963304 (OP)
Before Seinfeld shows were expected to have some underlying point. I guess. Although some episodes are more about nothing than others

The "nothing" refers to the absolute void of meaning or values as four conniving jews demolish the goodness of society around them (but in an irreverent zany way!)

ZE ARAB DIDNT SELL ME SOUP
DIS IS LIKE SECOND SHOAH

i know youre baiting, but when you say
>i will make a sitcom episode, its about people going to a party, they buy a bottle of wine to bring it, someone double parks them, they arrive at the party and the episode ends
on paper thats about nothing.

Or
>the episode is about them going to a store to buy an air conditioner, because its cheap there. They buy an air conditioner, they struggle to find their car in the parking lot as one often does, but in the end they find it. The end.
same thing.

If was a tv critic who said it about the show. Jerry said he never got what it meant.
Same thing when Elaine called Kramer a hipster doofus. It was just something a tv critic said about the character

>>213964217
Look, ma!! I posted it again!

>>213964217
That's not what literally means. These are two separate shows.

>>213963661
>I didnt recognize them as seinfeld episodes
wtf, those were two very well-known and classic episodes. all episodes are functionally a one-sentence mundane plot

Why put it into the show then?

>>213964379
Then you'd just have to disfavorably compare the two as Seinfeld did it first and better. Whatever shallow similarities you think you've discovered don't compare the wit and critical acclaim. Because Bang was lowest common denominator garbage while Sein is respected to this day as one of the greatest sitcoms of all time. Chuck Lorre formulaic comedies will NEVER be on the level of Seinfeld.

>>213964379
You don't understand humor.

Seinfeld is cleverly written and have an amazing cast. People shitting on it are salty chuds or angry activists angry that Jerry never had a black girlfriend or smth

>>213964448
As a funny comment. An inside joke. Because they could. That's awesome. They had levels of comedy only they knew about. Little digs at Friends and other comedies they didn't like hidden in the dialogue.

>>213964379

Do any of these sound mundane to you? Seinfeldfags are so fucking retarded, I swear.

Reminder that it's always on.

I liked it. I think Jerry & Larry were self hating Jews which is why it was so good.

>>213964449
>Because Bang was lowest common denominator garbage while Sein is respected to this day as one of the greatest sitcoms of all time
Considered by whom? A bunch of low IQ Seinfeldtards on this shithole of a board? Wow! that totally changes everything.
And just so you know, TBBT was the highest rated and most watched sitcom of the late 2000s/early 2010s. So your argument is invalid anyway.
The fact you consider this garbage tier show about a bunch of Jew Yorkers kvetching about trivial bullshit as le ebin masterpiece shows how much you lack critical thinking and rely on parroting talking points from others on this board.

I like Seinfeld. Jerry’s my favourite character. I do think he goes through too many girlfriend’s though.

>>213964574
This. If you really want to be redactive then the average Seinfeld episode is either

>Something mundane happens
>The protags overreact and make the situation much worse
Or
>Something extraordinary happens
>The protags act like its mundane

It’s also obvious that the protagonists are bad people, and the joke is how selfish they are. The joke is either seeing them screw over innocent people, or receive just desserts. The closest today would be something like Family Guy and American Dad. They even had to send them to jail in the finale because people didnt get it
It’s very different from Friends or Big Bang Theory

>>213964664
No, by critics at the time. Most people everywhere like the show. Even this board. Except you. You're being a contrarian dipshit because you don't like jews. Pretty weak.

Seinfeld is not a show about nothing
>"The pitch for the show -- the real pitch -- when Larry and I went to NBC in 1988, was: we want to show how a comedian gets his material. The 'show about nothing' was just a joke in an episode many years later, and Larry and I, to this day, are surprised that it caught on as a way that people describe the show, because to us, it's the opposite of that."

>>213963304 (OP)
I feel like Jews lost alot of traction in the US after broadcast television and record label empires were phased out. If you were born after the invention of the internet and smartphones, you can't comprehend how monopolized the stuff on our TV screens were. It was normal to see whatever the Jews wanted you to see. Jerry Springer, Seinfeld, Woody Allen movies. They were having a golden age in America from WW2 to 2001 where antisemitism was at an all time low thanks to holocaust conditioning and positive media influence. So not only were jews producing things, goyim were actually paying to go see gangly ass dorks like Woody Allen in the theatre or on TV. Or in this case, neurotic jews complaining about things like Seinfeld.

Enter the smartphone with internet. Enter distributed media platforms. They don't have the same control over what we see and hear anymore, and we are just starting to see the effects of a diluted Jewish influence on the American physche now that we are in 2025. I'm sure Israel, zionists whatever you want to call them didn't anticipate losing the ear of Americans this rapidly. At any rate, nobody sees them as normal anymore, and once that happens you can't get it back. Notice how there's like 0 Jewish celebrities these days, now that people have a choice of what to watch and TV ratings don't mean fuckall.

>>213964838
critics loved TBBT as well, retardo. Lots of normalfags as well. It was the most watched show in the country and in the world.
>because you don't like jews.
No. I don't like fans of this mediocre show pretending it's le ebin masterpiece when it's just a generic sitcom about a bunch of Jew Yorkers.
>le ebin

sorry seinfeldtard, most people prefer friends over Seinfeld

>>213965177
Based and checked

Friends appeals to the masses more than Seinfeld? Not really quantifiable, but possibly true. Lowest common denominator folks somehow loved Seinfeld but they'd surely more easily digest the simpleton slop of Friends.
But the ratings were higher for Seinfeld when it aired. That's a fact. No show could touch it. It went out as the number one show on television. Friends did not.
Zoomers are even dumber than millennials and Seinfeld was really a boomer/GenX show, so maybe now more people do like Friends. But that'll never be true of the critics. And Seinfeld is still worth more money to streamers and syndicators. You really have nothing but your own wishes to base your opinion on. All facts point to Seinfeld at the top of all charts.

Seinfeld popularized the modern concept of a show with no underlying moral fabric, though that kind of show already existed in the 60's and 70's but fell out of favor when entertainment shifted to be more family oriented overall in the 80's and early 90's.

>>213965369

>>213964333
Hipster doofus is hilariously apt descriptor of Kramer. His style and hijinks, even his friends off screen. Wacky and alternative, for the sake of it.

>>213964838
I don't get the pretzels bit about making him thirsty. Is it just their different takes on the same line?

>>213963500
Its not that "nothing happens." Its that theres no point. In the 90s, the notion of characters going through a series of events, without any real lesson or catharsis, was deemed odd. Seinfeld is often just a sequence of events that happen to these people. They go upstate, meet a bubble boy, George accidentally pops his bubble, and Kramer burns down the cabin. Nothing was learned, nobody grew, and they carry on.

>>213965431
What are you talking about? It is higher art than the average sitcom. As was Curb. It had the rare distinction of being popular with the hip urban crowd and the flyover chucklefucks. Everyone loved Kramer. Everyone loved the show. You probably weren't even aware in the 90s if you were alive. It wasn't "made for pseuds to feel more intelligent". No show is made with that kind of motivation. It just worked for everyone. If it were too clever for its own good it wouldn't have been so popular. But there were different layers and levels of comedy. There were jokes not everyone appreciated. It played to everyone.
I know you guys just like to argue for the sake of it but you really can't. It was the top show AND critics loved it. It was a very strange thing. Like the Beatles or something. Larry and Jerry were kind of a Lennon/McCartney anyway in their comedy styles, with Larry's being more highbrow and inaccessible and Jerry's being more simplistic and populist.
But now I'm getting into areas you couldn't possibly understand or agree with. This really is not the website for me to find satisfying discussion on any topic let alone Seinfeld.

>>213963408
>but in the end they find it and it doesn't start. The end

>>213965624
This. It’s a show ABOUT nothing. Not that nothing happens.

>>213965615
I don't know what was unclear about that episode. Kramer gets a line in a Woody Allen movie and they all take turns delivering the line in their own way. It was silly. Some of the best parts of the show were just silly. It had a lot to offer.

>>213965624
And the "nothing happens" is also about how the plots can all hinge on some social faux pas or the way someone said a word. They dissected the minutiae of little everyday things and blew them way out of proportion.

>>213965822
Classic episode. Think of the goldfish.

>>213965554
>if you ignore all the wacky shit that happens in episodes and cherrypick certain ones that fit my narrative it totally proves that it's a mundane show

>guy takes some numbing medication and gets mistaken for a retard and invited to a luncheon where a famous jazz musician sings for him

>crazy old man invents holiday which his son uses to make fake donations to

George wasn't a bum. He was a college graduate with several careers before baseball management. He was on unemployment for a while. Happens to the best of us.

>>213965924
It doesn't ever turn over. And that's what happened when they filmed it. You can see them laughing about it in the back window.
They discuss it in the DVD commentaries.

Episode 2.

I never understood why “show about nothing” caught on because it was said in season 4, by which point the show WAS about something, it’s literally delivered in an episode that’s part of a serialised longterm storyline. It’s a meta joke that’s looking back on the FIRST season when Larry and Jerry were trying to get it made. They were making fun of how far the show came from the rocky beginning.

>>213965895
youre wrong, the show is just 4 people discussing normal everyday occurrences

>>213965946
i know he struggles but i could swear it starts in the end. i know about the behind the stage footage, how Kramer wanted to carry a real AC so it would be more real and him cutting his lip while getting it into the trunk actually happened.

>>213965804
My point is Seinfeldtards pretend as if this show is something extraordinary and they are intellectually superior for watching it. When in reality it's just another mediocre sitcom.
>it was popular
if we're talking popularity then friends is a more popular and well known show by people of all age groups, not only in the US but across the world as well.
>I know you guys just like to argue for the sake of it but you really can't. It was the top show AND critics loved it.
No. I think you're missing the point I'm trying to make. No one is denying that Seinfeld wasn't a popular show, but fans of it pretend it's some intelligent show when in reality it's mediocre at best. Friends and TBBT are popular and well received yet we don't hear fans of those shows pretending as if it's the greatest thing since sliced bread.

I want to go back to the 90s. Old enough to enjoy comedy but still years from true responsibility.

>im not claiming you need to have a high iq to enjoy it.
I'm not saying you personally made this claim, but Seinfeldfags in general

>>213966027
Whatever, dude. I don't know who's "pretending it's intelligent" and that "they're intellectually superior for liking it".
It's not mediocre. It won writing Emmys. I guess by YOUR calculations it's mid. And again you compare it to Friends. I already informed you that Friends was not as popular in the ratings nor is it currently worth the money Seinfeld is to streamers and syndicators, which definitely suggests that it's more widespread. You have jack shit to back up your age groups and across the world nonsense.
All I can tell you is that I was there for it when it was the biggest show on TV for the last half of its run, about 5 years of domination. And I've read all about it over the decades. It's just more highly regarded than Friends and especially Big Bang. Big Bang is dumb like Two and a Half Men. It just has nerd references. It's not actually smart comedy. Seinfeld was clever and witty in many ways. You can't win this argument. You're simply wrong.
It's up there with I Love Lucy and The Honeymooners and All in the Family as one of the best shows of all time. I didn't decide that. I'm just the messenger. There was a SeinMania thing for a while which Friends never achieved.
There's simply no comparison and I don't understand why you're rejecting the facts.

The Curb reunion was pretty great. Someone compiled all the clips into the makings of an episode.

Jerry: What is this?
George: What?
Jerry: We're going on a two day trip. What are you, Diana Ross?
George: I happen to dress based on mood.
Jerry: Oh. But you essentially wear the same thing all the time.
George: Seemingly. Seemingly. But within that basic framework, there are many subtle variations only discernible to an acute observer, that reflect the many moods, the many shades, the many sides of George Costanza.
Jerry: And what mood is this.
George: This is Morning Mist.

>friends

lol

George: I still don't see why I can't ask her about my arm.
Elaine: She's a physical therapist. She doesn't want to have to deal with that outside of the office.
George: Why not?
Elaine: Because it is what she does.
George: I love these people! You can't ask them questions. They're so mentally gifted that we mustn't disturb the delicate genius unless it's in the confines of an office! When huge sums of money are involved, then the delicate genius can be disturbed!

>>213966138
>I don't know who's "pretending it's intelligent" and that "they're intellectually superior for liking it".
Seinfeld fans. In multiple threads and across many websites.
> is it currently worth the money Seinfeld is to streamers and syndicators, which definitely suggests that it's more widespread
the main 6 were earning a million an episode. it was definitely popular. Plus it's in syndication and has constant re-reruns around the world.
>Big Bang is dumb like Two and a Half Men.
Hate to burst your bubble. But TBBT and Seinfeld are more alike than you think see >>213964379 for more details
>There was a SeinMania thing for a while which Friends never achieved.
lol. no there wasn't. you're just making shit up at this point

Jerry: "The ocean called, they're running out of shrimp"?
George: Yeah, yeah, yeah. But then, I said to him, "Oh yeah? Well, the jerk store called, and they're running out of you."
Jerry: Really? That's great. You said that to him?
George: Well, actually, I thought it up on the way over here.
Jerry: Oh. That's not quite the same.
George: No. No, it's not. You don't know this guy. It would have been so sweet.

Family Guy pretty much nailed this show.

>>213966344
No, Larry and Jerry got a billion dollars from Netflix alone. No one's discussing the actors' salaries at the time. The show is CURRENTLY worth more than Friends.
You just made up all the stuff about these exaggerating Seinfeld fans. Stop trying to lower it to the levels of Lorre CBS garbage.
SeinMania is just a term I made up, yes. But do you see the Mad Magazine stuff? Did you know the actual, real life Kramer, Kenny Kramer did a "reality tour" using a bus? That was when the show was still on and they made an episode about it. There were bumper stickers and multiple books, some of which I own still. This was IN the 90s. You weren't there so you don't know. But you're welcome to go to ebay or Amazon and look at all of the Seinfeld shit they made. I have a DVD board game in my basement right now, Seinfeld Edition. There's probably a Monopoly game too. Friends had none of that.

>>213966581
lol, in what way? Your trashy opinion?

Jerry: So, George, how do I beat this lie detector?
George: I'm sorry, Jerry, I can't help you.
Jerry: Come on, you've got the gift. You're the only one that can help me.
George: Jerry, I can't. It's like saying to Pavarotti, "Teach me to sing like you."
Jerry: All right, well I've got to go take this test. I can't believe I'm doing this.
George: Jerry, just remember. It's not a lie if you believe it.

Seinfeld has always been the top thing. Even here.

is your IQ below 80 or something? the plot points almost always involve something incredibly mundane, but the antics of the 4 whacky jewish characters makes something go wrong and get blown up
>>213963500
perfect example, this was caused by kramer being a retard after doing something mundane like buying a piece of a highway, newman was just doing his mundane job

George: You have no idea of the magnitude of this thing. If she is allowed to infiltrate this world, then George Costanza as you know him, ceases to exist! You see, right now, I have relationship George, but there is also independent George. That's the George you know, the George you grew up with. Movie George, coffee shop George, liar George, bawdy George.
Jerry: I love that George.
George: Me too! And he's dying, Jerry! If relationship George walks through this door, he will kill independent George! A George divided against itself cannot stand!

Newman was trying to double the money on deposit bottles. He stole the USPS truck to drive to Michigan.

Elaine: How come he's getting so smart? I stopped having sex with Ben three days ago and I don't know no Portuguese.
Jerry: Are you all right?
Elaine: I don't know. It's just the last couple of days my mind has been kind of, you know... not good.
Jerry: Wait a second, I know what's happening. The no sex thing is having a reverse effect on you.
Elaine: What? What are you talking about?
Jerry: To a woman, sex is like the garbage man. You just take for granted the fact that any time you put some trash out on the street, a guy in a jumpsuit's gonna come along and pick it up. But now, no sex, it's like a garbage strike. The bags are piling up in your head. The sidewalk is blocked. Nothing's getting through. You're stupid!
Elaine: I don't understand.
Jerry: Exactly.

Jerry: So we're going to make the post office pay for my new stereo?
Kramer: It's a write-off for them.
Jerry: How is it a write-off?
Kramer: They just write it off.
Jerry: Write it off what?
Kramer: Jerry, all these big companies, they write off everything.
Jerry: You don't even know what a write-off is.
Kramer: Do you?
Jerry: No. I don't.
Kramer: But they do. And they're the ones writing it off.
