That's why it's such a great show. Basically every episode has a new character who is very unique with real personality. They also don't overuse their side characters to the point that they lose their flair and uniqueness.
The black guy who parked cars was very funny! " I think his name was Sid. Never mind who I am.. I know who I am.. do you know who you are "? I love that kind of dialogue!
Jerry is convicted of first-degree murder while Mike becomes the main character, leading to the renaming, "Moffit." The series was soon canceled due to extreme phoniness.
The New York Times had this to say, “With the core cast of Seinfeld mostly intact, one would think “Moffit” would be a hit. However, what we have is a cheesy knock-off of “Seinfeld”, with the main character lacking any of the charm or charisma that was ever-present in Jerry Seinfeld. In fact, one could call the show “Bizarro Costanza”, as Mike Moffit is just a low-budget George Costanza, but without the nuances that make George such an iconic character.”
"Never mind who I am. I know who I am. Do you know who you are?" Mike's an alright character, I just wanted to see Sid in more episodes. He was hilarious.
Agree, he was funny! " Moving cars from one side of the street to the other dont take no more sense than to putting a pair of pants! My question is: Whos putting your pants on? "
Sid parks cars for a living, makes a fortune. He remarks that every time George parks a car, something bad happens. Last time, when George took over Sid's responsibilities while he was away, he set off car alarms and smashed Jerry's Escort rental car into an ambulance.
Mike Moffit (Lee Arenberg) was hilarious in this episode, it's too bad they didn't write him into more episodes. He could've easily become George's Newman.
The best Seinfeld one-off character. I really believe the pain he felt when Jerry slammed the trunk on his thumbs and the fear when he got stuck in the trunk
7:16 I like how Jerry didn't even put effort in making his laugh sound real, but just for the effort to make it sound diabolical. Julia on the other hand nailed her's in both ways
@Big Riff No, I hate the character. Why are you commenting on other people's comments about a 25 year old show? Don't you have anything better to do yourself?
I actually met Lee Arenberg (actor who plays Mike) at a con once and i said to him "You know, you were completely right...Jerry is such a phoney" he replied "Haha, thanks brother" and we high fives.
Am I the only one who thinks Tim Watley is annoying? It has nothing to do with Bryan Cranston. He’s great. But my friend and I argue about Tim Watley all the time. I find him annoying. But I do love when Jerry sneaks into his party and is asking everyone if they’re dentists hahahah.
I had a friend like Mike Moffit. He was constantly in "Mike-kissing-Jerry's-Ass" mode like at 2:27; the insincere compliments, the phony laughter, everything.
I've seen this episode so many times and now just realized that Mike Moffitt is played by the same actor from pirates of the caribbean, he did an amazing job.
At 5:59 when Jerry closed the trunk on Mike Moffit's hands, you can see (if you put the video on pause or look very quickly) Jerry screaming also. Just noticed that by accident after all these years

Love Kramer's snub of George. Yeah, yeah. I know him.
Never mind who I am, I know who I am, do you know who you are?
This one line accidentally inspires Ben Stiller action movie.

5:24 LOL. I never heard Jerry singing George's answering machine theme before.
TheGoonsies What's to say, it's catchy!
I sing it almost every day🎶🎶🎶
Mike Moffit: Man, that Michael Jordan is so phoney!
Yelling at Kramer: “Why did you tell him?” 😂
Mike Moffit is basically what happens if George got a little balder, a little shorter, a little angrier, and a little more pathetic.
And a little,and a little.. 😂
@russellcollier8202Cringe, bud. Cringe
Not at all. The characters are nothing alike. This character was so awkward, one of the most out of place characters in the entire series.
@@marcbasil why cringe?
...and a little more... _phoney?_
It's George's space because he is driving Jerry's car, parking in front of Jerry's building. Mike is the guest. He needs to find another space
DeathScab MortSkab 死亡疤痕 but what about Sundays and holidays? Should you have to pull up ten car lengths to the first space?
@@wolfgangwisconsin6538 After he engaged in conversation instead of parking...he automatically voided any claim he had on the spot.

it was not Jerry's car.
@Henk de Tank haha YES! try to park like that on an NYC driver's test and you'd fail.
I love that guy's frantic voice; he almost seems like he would've done a good George too
he is perfect to spice up the series. wish he was written into more episodes during the run of the series.
You're both insane, he sucks ass. His voice is incredibly grating.
@@fad1969 PHONY
I know. Mike seemed like he was going to stroke out at times!
You know when I saw him on Pirates of the Carribean, I couldn't stop laughing cause of the Mike character.
"You're going to have to go to work!"
"I don't have a job!"
"Neither do I!"
Too funny!
Seinfeld is one of few shows where every character no matter how insignificant or significant to an episode is memorable and entertaining.
"It's all water near a bridge"
I don't know why that line cracks me up so much
I think because it's supposed to be: water UNDER the bridge😂
Because it's a misquote, like MOOPS!
Jerry has almost completely forgiven him
"It's just water under the fridge"

"You're eventually gonna have to go to the bathroom! "And you're gonna have to go to work!" "I don't have a job!" "Neither do I!" *LMFAO!*
Yeah we saw the video
Just brilliant storytelling. They don't make them like they used to.
"It was an accident"
"Oh is that what you call it when somebody doesn't pay up?"
The best Seinfeld one-off character. I really believe the pain he felt when Jerry slammed the trunk on his thumbs and the fear when he got stuck in the trunk
He wasn't a one-off.
You misspelled "worst."
He was in 2 episodes and definitely wasn't the best.
@@fad1969you a derp
I crack up every time at the way Jerry declares he knows that Mike called him "a PHONY!"
And Mike immediately knows Kramer blabbed about it.
7:16 I like how Jerry didn't even put effort in making his laugh sound real, but just for the effort to make it sound diabolical.
Julia on the other hand nailed her's in both ways
I absolutely loved Mike. I truly wished he had more screen time. Beautiful acting
Truth. For a guy with only 4 minutes of screentime, he's memorable. But then this is Seinfeld, everything is memorable.
George was right about the parking spot.
He wasn’t that good. So many superior characters
I don't know, man, he seemed like a big phoney to me, tbh.
3:37 The way Moffit turns around so fast kills me lol
Use it in a sentence...
I wish they used this character more. He's like a more intense George with a really short fuse
Good thing they didn't. He's awful.

Not only that I broke his thumbs

Mr. Peterman is one of my favorite characters
This show was great
at 3:32 the way jerry yelled PHONY is killing me
i like how the frame cuts jerry's face after the outburst, after seeing the bloopers now i know he never really contained the laugh lol
They had the best guest characters on this show - the actors were great! 👍🏻

His outbursts are so violent and hilarious

Love the delivery of "I'll die out here."
This is one of the BEST episode 👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏
7:36 the way Peterman arrives, so downtrodden and heartbroken over this non existent person dying looolll
This actor always reminded me of a friend's dad. Such a great character. I wish he would've been in more scenes!
I loved Mike Moffit; he's one of my favourite minor characters. I've always wished they'd done more with him:-)
He was also pintel in pirates of the Caribbean
Imagine Mike and George in the backseat of a loooong car ride.
- But I'm backing in, you can't put it in headfirst!
- I CAN IF I HAVE ROOM!
I wish Mike appeared in more than two episodes
This show was so golden and genius
The best part for me was 1:26.. the way George reacted to Mike beeping the horn, then the way he beeped back at Mike was straight up hilarious! lol
Indiana Jones vs Breaking Bad on Seinfeld.

It's not that he said phony the moments with him are funny. Arguing with George, and others moments.

Still a classic in 2021
The hat on Newman is so funny

At 5:59 when Jerry closed the trunk on Mike Moffit's hands, you can see (if you put the video on pause or look very quickly) Jerry screaming also. Just noticed that by accident after all these years
I never noticed that either, but Jerry wasn't screaming. He had his mouth open because he was alarmed that he slammed the trunk on Mike's hands.
Mike Moffit was on only two episodes and in my opinion they both rank in the top 10 funniest shows in the series.
