@@afonsodeportugalA yearning is a desire for a different aspect of life, like getting married or going to a third-world country. A craving is wanting a chili-dog or an alcoholic drink.
This scene can be reused, line by line, in a dramatic film and still have the same impact: it makes you think. That's the genius of Larry David -- instead of relying on the setup-joke-punchline of a hundred sitcoms before (and since), he simply wrote natural-sounding dialogue that was delivered with pitch-perfect timing by a stellar cast.
I believe this episode written and produced by Larry Charles (not the other slightly more famous Larry - Larry David) . Charles later went on to collaborate with David on Curb your Enthusiasm and direct Borat ,starring Sacha Baron Cohen ,among other things. Larry Charles: “I would compare writing Seinfeld to writing the Talmud - a dark Talmud. You have a lot of brilliant minds examining a thought or ethical question from every possible angle.” Always felt Seinfeld lost something ,when Charles left at the end of season 5 and regular Seinfeld director Tom Cherones was replaced by Andy Ackerman.
I have a brother and he is just like Kramer. You can talk to him on the phone for an hour and never get in two words. Because he goes off on the craziest stories. Last story he told me.... he believes his landlord is climbing on his roof and placing stones on the roof in patterns to put a curse on him.........He is 58 years old and he is fun but nuts :)
Kramer as always is a force of nature. It's impressive. But it takes a truly great actor to take that onslaught of absurdity without breaking character to laugh. I have no idea how Jason Alexander kept a completely straight face through all this, and kept on selling the character. That''s an incredible talent too.
It's funny how two of the best characters of the show have few one on ones like this. George and Kramer are so drastically different, if there wasn't the middle man that is Jerry, you'd never see these two together.
Stop looking at life through Jerry's eyes. You're living in twilight Brian...Living in the Shadows..Living in the Darkness...Mark can barely even see you.
I’ve been rewatching clips and I’m floored by how good the acting is. I always thought the draw was the writing - but the acting is what keeps us immersed. Phenomenal
I love George and Kramer conversations! Sometimes they seem to have something of a parallel existence going on, and they are sort of 'dark mirrors' to each other...especially in relation to their friendship with Jerry and how this 'affects' the rest of their lives.
I think about this in my own life. I do have a income yet staying stagnant in the position. There's little "fire" in my belly to be better. Am currently in martial arts, that's a plus. Besides that I feel empty. There's a yearning to escape this life, take my savings and move to Costa Rica; start a new life. What I know I need to do is choose where I want to be in a year and make small progress daily. That emptiness may or may not still be there the whole way through but I need to be more concerned about the goal. In addition kramer's lines could be taken out, put into a inspirational clip.
You get ONE life. Why stay stagnant and not do what YOU want to do? Grab life by the horns and start taking actions tomorrow. Set a time line with your end goal with you ending up in Costa Rica. How about you start learning Spanish this coming week as a start?
I've had the bug since I was in that Woody Allen movie. "These pretzels are making me thirsty!!??" I It was one line & you got fired!! Yeah but I never felt so alive! 😆
this is somehow an unusual scene for Seinfeld since usually George was more troubled and disturbed than Kramer but in this scene its the other way around
***** No it aint a Seinfeld reference. (Bi the way wat dos reference meen?) I voted for Donald Trump so like most of us Trumpettes I ain't two good with werds and nolij and stuf. Thanks fer yer help!
Such a simple concept of something we’ve all probably done: holding a friend or neighbours keys. The dialogue squeezed out of that simple idea is unbelievable.
I like that George and Elaine had swapped keys. It made sense because Jerry was traveling all the time. So even though George and Elaine don't have much in common other than Jerry, they're more reliable to swap keys with. Plus, there was really no chance either of them would ever use the keys the way Kramer does with Jerry.
It's funny, it's like real life.. it's always the people who are in dark times in their life who are telling the other people they are wasting their life 😆 Hypocrisy has no bounds.
Its especially true when it comes to older men. Not just any old mem, but middle age men, usually under fifty five. There always telling the male juniors to get thwir shit togwther while they themselves are already in the dumps.
Lmfao, this is some hilarious acting... how he brings these "no, no, no...". At first (as a kid) i didn.t like George very much but now, after watching it several times, i think he.s the best on the show in regard of acting. I love all of them, being different, Elaine is great, all are great, the Comstanzas are incredibly funny...and George has the greatest range, best lines and i can.t help to think it.s a little bit the depiction of Larry David himself
I think my favorite part of this is how George makes the distinction between yearning and craving. And it makes perfect sense
How so? What's the difference?
@@afonsodeportugalit’s a difference of passion. George wants things, but he’s lazy
@@daaave_ Very interesting! Thank you for taking the time to let me know!
@@afonsodeportugalA yearning is a desire for a different aspect of life, like getting married or going to a third-world country. A craving is wanting a chili-dog or an alcoholic drink.
@@scarygary-qq1pj Ahhhhh it's much clearer to me now! Thank you so much! Now the dialogue makes sense! 😄
The way Kramer says to George "Living in the darkness... like you" is brilliant
Stop it Kramer, you're freaking me out.
"I can't barely see you, George..." - hahaha, amazing!!!!
I love Kramer and George so much!
@@giltubulsame! 😭😂 this show was THE BEST! Lmao

So true!
@@Gaur1983 Well that explains it then. I didnt know about him and I felt the later seasons were just a class below the genious of beggining seasons.
every line from this show is quotable. honestly
Yeah that's right

@AsSeenOnTV I crave. I crave all the time.
Giddiyup
Should I give you my keys, Is that the transaction trading keys?
Up here, I'm already gone is one of the greatest lines in TV history. And he delivered it so well. Still makes me laugh all these years later.
I yearn for more Seinfeld clips.
I yearn for Seinfeld to come back. But alas, that can never happen.
Ah, but Curb Your Enthusiasm will be back with a new season in 2017!
drServitis There *is* hope for TV then.
But do you crave ?
By far the best show ever made. Pure genius.
"I can barely see ya George."
stop it mjf2891 you're freaking me out
I die every time I hear him saying that line
I have a brother and he is just like Kramer. You can talk to him on the phone for an hour and never get in two words. Because he goes off on the craziest stories.

I love eccentric people. They are fascinating.
I like him
I hope you and your brother are living the best life 😊✊️
Does he have a reverse peephole?
Before you write off your brother's stories as rants, climb up the roof and check whether there are stones arranged in pentagrams
Two of the best TV show characters ever written in a conversation together.
Kramer as always is a force of nature. It's impressive. But it takes a truly great actor to take that onslaught of absurdity without breaking character to laugh. I have no idea how Jason Alexander kept a completely straight face through all this, and kept on selling the character. That''s an incredible talent too.
he’s so phenomenal
both the writing and acting were incredible, particularly when compared to other network sitcoms of that era
Like you think they did it in one take
Bloopers
@@robertwhoughlike friends? 🤢
1:50 The gaze at his bald head followed by the phrase "Look at you" man he basically destroyed George .
Haha, I thought exactly the same. That look was perfectly placed.
Its funny because baldness has nothing to do with being a loser, its just genetics.
@@yuvalomrad7090 Genetics can make you a permanent loser in this world.
@@yuvalomrad7090 It's less about him being a loser, more with yearning for his hair back and by extension his youth and "another try" at things.
Who else could have played Kramer? Perfect casting!
Gene Wilder would've been fantastic.
@@herbertbielefelder341 Possibly.
Larry Hankin
David: manic-depression is no laughing matte!
Jeff Goldblum?
It’s hard to say what is the best thing about this particular perfection! Both actors and the writing- absolute perfection!
It’s hard to say who is funnier between these two incredible actors! Kramer’s finish makes me edge towards him. Respect to these actors! 🏅
I just love how Kramer completely shreds George, as he shrinks away in realization how much he has nothing going for him in his life.
Oh, and what's Kramer got?
Tom Evans Confidence. Lots of confidence.
uriahms That's nothing.
That's everything.
Mizzy Roro He just doesn't care, he's the Alfred E. Newman of the show, i.e. smart enough never to worry.
Both are incredible actors. Kramer's delivery was perfect.
The writing on this show is fuckin next level
And I would say both are true.
And here, we have an optimist, a pessimist, and a realist.
Often there are multiple levels of funny.
God yes it is next level.
This show is one of a kind to this day
Kramer is one of my favorite TV sitcom character so worry free and happy.
Are you crazy? He yearns a lot!
It's funny how two of the best characters of the show have few one on ones like this. George and Kramer are so drastically different, if there wasn't the middle man that is Jerry, you'd never see these two together.
Do you have any conceivable reason for getting up in the morning?
I like to watch Seinfeld clips on RUclips
I can barely see you.
Stop looking at life through Jerry's eyes. You're living in twilight Brian...Living in the Shadows..Living in the Darkness...Mark can barely even see you.
Dude i felt that...
“ up here I’m already gone” Kramer in a nutshell
My all time favorite Kramer line.
@@brianmorger2174 amen!!
"these pretzels are making me thirsty"
HAHAHAHAHAHA
+Henry Collins what a line and a very important one for woody allen
One of my favourite moments on the show.
It's one of my favorite moments on a TV show ever
This and...the contest 😂
There will never be another Kramer. Richards stole the show every time he walked in the room.
True...but George character had far more range...infinite more
@@florinnatuRange? No, he had distance plenty of distance...but not range.
It kept me in a fantasy world
Master class in acting.
Acting without acting XD
I’ve been rewatching clips and I’m floored by how good the acting is. I always thought the draw was the writing - but the acting is what keeps us immersed. Phenomenal
it's 50/50. you cannot have a show this sublime without perfection on both sides
Westiplo Took Having said that I think it’s a great title
Could this be the best scene from the entire show?
I look at life through George's eyes
Jason Alexander did such a great job in this role.
3:09 Up here. I'm already gone.
I always say that!
He'll fit right in in California
I love George and Kramer conversations! Sometimes they seem to have something of a parallel existence going on, and they are sort of 'dark mirrors' to each other...especially in relation to their friendship with Jerry and how this 'affects' the rest of their lives.
Omg Costanza is an ICON. we love him as millennials
Metacritic masterpiece. They almost realize they are a sitcom character. Best sitcom show ever.
The show was brilliant on so many different levels.
...one of the best "conversations" in comic shows history,.... 🤗😘

Why Costa Rica
@@olgadotson2152
I enjoy tropical climates, it's a gorgeous place!
Relatively in my budget.
I could learn Spanish and maybe go off the "grid".

the 2 most amazing actors
"Up here, I'm already gone"
c dean lol oh he's gone alright 😂
Up here. I'm already gone .
That really sums up Kramer.
Me: Do you have anything on the horizon?
2020: No.
I crave all the time. Constant craving.
“Alright Kramer, stop it. You’re freaking me out.” 🤣
I've had the bug since I was in that Woody Allen movie. "These pretzels are making me thirsty!!??" I It was one line & you got fired!!
Yeah but I never felt so alive! 😆
“Up here, I’m already gone!”
These two the reason I watch Seinfeld👌
Absolutely
this is somehow an unusual scene for Seinfeld since usually George was more troubled and disturbed than Kramer but in this scene its the other way around
Kramer was ignoring his problems until he came to the realization, while George was bitching constantly so not really expecting more from life anyway.
Haven't really yearned recently either.
What does yearn mean?
***** No it aint a Seinfeld reference.
(Bi the way wat dos reference meen?) I voted for Donald Trump so like most of us Trumpettes I ain't two good with werds and nolij and stuf. Thanks fer yer help!
***** Ar ewe an ideot like me whoo voted four Donald Trump? We mite not be smart, butt at leest weer stupid and has no ejecations.
"What you call wasting I call living!" Lmao perfect
that chest beat...
Ba da bap!
He's Wolf of Wall Street. mmm-MMMMM!
That shit was so smooth...
Up here I'm already gone! .. LoL that line sums up Kramer completely 😁
up here im already gone
Sometimes I feel like George, my life sucks.
Such a simple concept of something we’ve all probably done: holding a friend or neighbours keys. The dialogue squeezed out of that simple idea is unbelievable.
My all time favourite quote. I like to catch the daily news🤷♂️
Love the callback to “These Pretzels are making me thirsty!”😂
This is one of my favorite scenes
Being constantly unemployed in the mid-90's... that takes effort.
much more relatable for the average man today both in dating and employment. 2020s will only get worse for the average fella
"Up here, I'm already gone"
😁
That's how I feel every Day of the Week "Up here I'm already Gone" .
When Georgie boy responds to him asking, "Do you ever yearn", I loose it!
I like to get the Daly news.lmao
I think this scene pretty much sums up life.. as well as the two kinds of people.
"Up here, I'm already gone"
hahahahaha yes, Kramer, we can tell.
I like the pause when Kramer is staring at George's bald head then looks him in the eyes and says "Look at you."
1:16 so funny haha, he doesn't look at George until he says "yearn"
I AM GEORGE COSTANZA
john basedow We are all George Costanza.
"I'm George Costanza. I'm unemployed and living with my parents."
"Do you have any prospects ?" NO.
Jason Alexander somehow gets all the despair and fear in existence into the line "I like to get the Daily News," and still makes it funny.
I just realized.....
Me and george have alot in common.😭
I lose it every time George exclaims 'These pretzels are making me thirsty?!'
The way George says "THESE PRETZELS ARE MAKING ME THIRSTY?!"
just perefect lmao
"George and Kramer" are Unbelieve of so much Hilorous they both are😉🤭💯🙆♀️🤣😅🇵🇹
you had 1 line.... you got fired! lol, love that he still had the acting bug from that
I "went out west" in 88 , "yearning" damn near destroyed me. Some real psychos out there
Uh oh. Care to share?
@@flowerpowers1855 crave long enough into the abyss and the abyss craves back
"Mandrake?...Have you ever seen a Commie take a drink of water?"
No, just Smirnoff.
"In Soviet Russia, water drink YOU!"
I briefly yearned earlier today.
“Up here I’m already gone”. Fucking Kramer 😂
"That kept me.. in a fantasy world"
I always felt that George was the actual main character of Seinfeld
I like how they is a reference/continuity on the jokes from previous episodes.
"Livin'intheshadows...livin'intheDARKNESS....like you..."
This episode was my introduction to Seinfeld. I can’t think of a better one.
…look at you..
I like that George and Elaine had swapped keys. It made sense because Jerry was traveling all the time. So even though George and Elaine don't have much in common other than Jerry, they're more reliable to swap keys with. Plus, there was really no chance either of them would ever use the keys the way Kramer does with Jerry.
“Up here, I’m already gone” is my favorite line of the entire show.
his "Why?!" sums up his character perfectly. damn great fucking show, nothing came closer.
"I was CLINGIN' to those keys!"
This might be the best scene in the whole show. At least in the discussion.
1:49 kramer looking at his bald head lol
It's funny, it's like real life.. it's always the people who are in dark times in their life who are telling the other people they are wasting their life 😆 Hypocrisy has no bounds.

Classic scene.one of the best.i fall over laughing each time I watch this one.
This writing is INSANE 👌
Kramer is the best character in any sitcom ever. Bar none.
This is impeccable writing
Many men, esp. young men are living like this today.
"Up here l am already gone" 🤣😂🤣😂😂
Sometimes I sit and yearn too! :-p
"Up here, I'm already gone." Indeed.
