    About Seinfeld:
    Seinfeld stars Jerry Seinfeld as a stand-up comedian whose life in New York City is made even more chaotic by his quirky group of friends who join him in wrestling with life's most perplexing, yet often trivial questions. Often described as "a show about nothing," Seinfeld mines the humor in life's mundane situations like waiting in line, searching for a lost item, or the trials and tribulations of dating. Co-starring are Julia Louis-Dreyfus as Jerry's ex-girlfriend and current platonic pal, Elaine Benes; Jason Alexander as George Costanza, Jerry's neurotic hard-luck best friend; and Michael Richards as Jerry's eccentric neighbor, Kramer.

    I've always had the theory Jake wasn't offended by her buying candy before coming to see him. I think he wanted revenge for Elaine breaking up with him because he didn't use an exclamation point after he took a message from her friend who had a baby. He was looking for a reason.

  • @speabody
    @speabody 8 месяцев назад

    Sometimes the set-ups to the punchlines were smooth and ingenious and sometimes they were utterly ham-fisted, like here. She's stuffing her mouth with candy on multiple occasions, just to get Jake to ask where she got them (she couldn't lie and say she'd already bought them?? E.g. "Oh I love dogs") and then she's practically choking on them just so she can't talk to Lippman? All the twists rely on Elaine acting like a glutton for no reason. They don't bother to mix it up. "How do we solve this? I know, stuff her face with candy!..... Hmm, how do we solve this other issue? I know, stuff her face with candy!"
    Contrast the Elaine is a difficult patient episode. How we get to Uncle Leo being blacklisted is absurd but it's sure not lazy.

    She never had any grace.
    One is born with grace.

    Im sure Tina was quite odd and quirky (she dated Kramer for Christs sake); but compared to Elaine shes perfectly normal!

    Elaine’s friend that broke her the bad news after this, moved to upstate NY, and settled down with a abusive man named Edgar…idk what happened to them after that 😂😂😂

    Everyone laughs at Jake for being "so sensitive." Jake would've had to walk into the ocean if he had been the one who'd bought JuJeFruits.

      But it’s not “so sensitive” at all.
      It’s a matter of consideration and someone’s thought process.
      Like, if my girlfriend was in the hospital for whatever reason, I’d absolutely drop everything and go be with her.
      Candy isn’t that important despite it being “on the way”.

    Tremendous electric bass playing. That is the big plus of this show.

      It's not about the value some places just don't accept different currency. Especially with coins.

      A coin-operated washer probably wouldn’t be programmed to accept Canadian currency, so putting them in could break it.
