I just stumbled onto this. I was there. It was one of those vague memories that seems unreal: "Didn't I see Jerry Seinfeld being introduced by Carl Reiner at a club? Didn't he talk about how the candy is kept like jewelry?" I was a college student in West LA with barely two nickels to rub together.
A classic. Frickin guy was brilliant. Deserves his millions. Some of these jokes have been done to death since, but I remember when this came out and they were all new at the time.
Fuckin' Genius - crafted clean comedy better than most. Even in his Closing he incorpates double entendres and setus like, "That's they get away; That's How I'm gonna Get Away." Drops Mic that are so concretely & fluidly delivered, much like Seinfeld's series
as someone in their late 20's stuck in florida most of their life, everytime I hear the jokes about florida they are so painfully true and the existential dread sinks in deeper.
There are many times during this that Jerry's inflections of speech remind me of William Shatner. Never noticed that before, but listen to his pauses, his emphases ... Truly, it's so similar! ... A couple of nice Jewish boys :)
mexiluvsw people have been saying this since the beginning of time. Kind of like the world is going to end soon. I saw an original twilight zone and the guy banged on a ford model A and said they don’t make em like they used to. Nostalgia is always better remembered than it really was, there’s clinical studies on it

What's the deeeeeeeal with blasphemy?" *applause and polite laughter *keyboard slap bass *channel changes to Andrew Dice Clay special "So Jesus and Abraham was spit roastin' Mohammed and Abe says: Jesus Christ!

A lot of comedy specials from that time had skits like that, and it always sucks. Even Carlin had a bunch of stupid cartoons in his On Campus special. I guess some brain donor at HBO thought people didn't want to watch an hour of uninterrupted stand-up. I don't mind one skit at the beginning, but not in the middle of the damn set!
Maybe it's those New York City bagels ....... or perhaps the Philly cheese steaks. I lived within 1 hour of Philly; 1 hour & 20 minutes of New York City. Amusing -- in a middle-of-the-road kind of way! * Cav = L'76; Lawrenceville, NJ! *
I think one time I saw him in East Rockiest on Atlantic Are. In a PORSCHE 911. He looked at I think because I was riding on my BMW BOXER. Maybe he realized that we both used the same engine layout even thou he had 6 cylinders to my 2.
Who thought to start playing music during his encore? And roll the credits?! Makes it look like he’s going over his time and they’re playing him off smh
How could anyone not like him?
He's a wonderful boy.
@@lynnturman8157 Yup. He's a dandy. A real fancy boy!
@@JonathanHudgins Love me! Kiss me! Mwuh! Mwuh! Mwuh!
Hahaha

I had this on VHS and watched it religiously for years.
His confidence really helps sell his act

They should give this guy a TV show, I'm sure it would be something!
not a chance
that would be a bad idea
Heard he almost sold a show to NBC about nothing...
Bahamut Dragons Sure. And Maybe that Chappelle guy could have a successful show too. Smh
It'd be gold, Jerry, gold!
My parents got this at our local video store when I was a kid and it blew my mind.
This was my favorite comedy growing up. Was so happy when I heard he was getting his own show.
Nearly 30 years old and still laughing. Jerry is a master of his craft. Thank you for posting this.

Master of Language, Comedic Ingenuity,
This is gold Jerry! Gold!
His routine is great and the skits interrupt the flow but it shows off Jerry’s versatility
Jerry Seinfeld = King of Timeless Situational Comedy!
Agree 💯 Seinfeld best comedian of all time. Also, Groundhog day one of the best movies of all time. 🙂
@@kerkcason7318: Don't forget Jay Leno! He's a great comedian too! .
@@janishart5128 Yes indeed, and Leno is a great talk show host too. 🙂
@@kerkcason7318: Yes, that's true - he was genuinely interested in what his guests had to say!
Hey, it's the guy from the Super Terrific Happy Hour.
as someone in their late 20's stuck in florida most of their life, everytime I hear the jokes about florida they are so painfully true and the existential dread sinks in deeper.
Greetings and motivation from California!
You can do it!
Around what part of Florida? (I'm just curious about geography)
Why don't you just move then
But... this was about milk.
Love this!!! And those skits are trippy
I skipped the trippy skits.
Thanks for posting! I remember watching back in the '80s. Knew Jerry was hilarious then.
cutaways have such a beautiful 80s aesthetic
i loooove cutaways from the late 80s
36 years still a masterpiece
Steve Martin's comedy performance is on RUclips. Two comedy icons❤
There are many times during this that Jerry's inflections of speech remind me of William Shatner. Never noticed that before, but listen to his pauses, his emphases ... Truly, it's so similar! ... A couple of nice Jewish boys :)
Yes, I get that, which is why I stated such.
see kevin pollack for the best shatner impersonation.
Great set by a comedy legend.
243sd thank you so much for this wonderful video. Seinfeld, best comedian ever.
Theyre real and theyre spectacular
Big time! !
Jerry Seinfeld's comedy makes the world a better place ~ 😂
Interesting sort-of-precursor to the sitcom.
Of course I’m gonna give this guy a thumbs up ! 👍🏻
This guy is like the Beatles of standup. So damn good man, such a tight set.
Lol
I just had a glimpse of Norman in the audience having a nervous breakdown.
Imortal Comedy
Was that Norm the Hamburglar?
Jerry is so adorable ❤️☺️
You are!
I know he’s just so sweet!!
Years later, and they're still working on Tide 🤣
Thank you very much. I watch him doing the same jokes I saw before and still enjoy!
Wow, Joel Hodgeson there at the beginning giving him the comedy x-ray specs.
Hey it's Joel from MST3K.
Oof I missed that subtle white noise in the background 😭😭
Jerry will go down as the GOAT.
Yes he should make a TV show about nothing...it will be a hit!!
Meh. I don't he's that funny. Maybe if you bring on Larry David as a writer.
I'm pretty sure I never saw this. I've seen a few of the bits, altered slightly. Some great guest cameos. Thanks for sharing.
10:40 - Larry Miller, the Doorman! I just watched that one the other night.
'Had to walk to school, it was up hill both ways' 🤣🤣🤣🤣that guy really honed his craft to perfection
The jokes about dogs reminds me of my dog Kramer. He passed away last year. I just want to cry.
Much better days than today. Although technology was not as advanced it was still better times.

Hahaha I wonder how he feels about those cutaways now, and he agreed to them too!
Was thinking the same thing. 🤔
"thats how he gets away and thats how I'm gonna get away THANK YOU EVERYONE"....thats a master-level exit. He IS THE SOCK.
I wonder how many people today won’t get the reference the guy was making when he said “flipping channels” and turned his hand over.
Forgive me if I am missing out on something (I’m only 23), but are you meaning to say that we too didn’t grow up with remote controls?
@@neepafoster1447I think they mean a rotary channel selector like TV's had before everything was buttons and remotes
Family gathering way spot on, hilarious.
This guy confiscated everyone's smartphones before smartphones even existed. A true pioneer
That’s gold, Jerry, gold!!
The best, Jerry! The best!
Fool's gold 😊
Carl Reiner?! Yay!!!! That was a nice surprise. That was a good time for tv. best in the tv business! I wish I was alive for it at the time
Waaaaait wait wait, is that Joel Hodgeson in the comedy glasses skit??!! That made my night!
I was going to ask that
Dad they're from another galaxy , I think they know how to travel.
this is him after 12 years of stand-up
Jesus. The skits totally kill the flow to Jerry's set.
agree
What's up with the blasphemy?
@@JLar-bb5hl "Hey... What's the deeeeeeeal with blasphemy?"
*applause and polite laughter

@@m0rShh agreed. It breaks apart the hypnotic element to stand up. Does nothing but hinder it
I can't believe they built all these sets just for minute long skits.
that remote control joke at the beginning is the today's phone-free experience. i see you yonder
And Joel from MST3K comes walking in at 04:33
Yeah amazing. I saw him too. Best part of the show.
The inserts are ugh.
The 80s😂
Remote control? What's that... lol
So this was before the awesomeness that Kramer and all the guys made
Mystery Science Comedy Theater -3000- 1978.
Comedy x ray specs. Jerry invented AR glasses
What a Legend
The man is a comedy genius!
I think he was very fortunate to have LARRY DAVID as a Co-writer on SIENFELD and his 3 castmates.
@@Yancree305 You're the 8th comment I saw were the word Jew was said kinda wanna see what you'd say bout a non White comedian in the same regard.
I love every second of this.
If this is not for you, tell us what you watch that makes you laugh?
I bet that it really sucks.
you can see how his timing got better
That's gold Jerry gold
it was uphill both ways XD
The Kid-tionary bit is so true 😂
That intro music sounds just like "Hatian Divorce" by Steely Dan. I know Mr. Seinfeld has professed himself to be a fan...
The stage background design looks like new iPhone screens presentation.
when carl reiner is your opener at 32.
We are NBC ..we used to have Seinfeld remember?
I saw him live. Hilarious
What's the deal with airplane peanuts?
*KEYBOARD SLAP BASS INTENSIFIES
"You flew all the way to L.A. for a free bag of peanuts?" "No! That would be stupid! I get another one on the way back!"
Maybe it's those New York City bagels ....... or perhaps the Philly cheese steaks. I lived within 1 hour of Philly; 1 hour & 20 minutes of New York City. Amusing -- in a middle-of-the-road kind of way! * Cav = L'76; Lawrenceville, NJ! *
anyone knows what's the music at the beginning and at the end with the talkbox?
4:40 Joel!
Start at 1:45
Holy fuck it's Joel.
An introduction by Carl Reiner? Talk about raising expectations!
"You'll fiber your ass right out of this business!"
His intro sounds like Steely Dan's Haitian Divorce...
So this is 30 years ago...
Feels like not long ago, eh?
Umm , yeah, doing the math, yep, yeah, 30 years.
Thanks so much for such an insightful, relevant, interesting, observational, unique comment
chuckfan1 You seem like a lot of fun
@@ggalvin1882 I'm a blast...
Apology accepted

East Rockaway
imagine if they incorperated these bits into a sitcom its a tragedy they havent
All I hear is the Bee movie.
dog seinfeld is the show I didn't know I NEED
The guy that handed him the glasses letter appeared host of mst3k
Does Jerry and a young John Travolta look similar to anyone else?
no, one was a thin faced jew with acne the other was an italian with a broad face
I think he looks like Matt lauer
Bela I think it's in the eyes.
top ten jokes
@@davespellbound6167 Did we just play spot the Nazi? Cause you just won sir or ma'am. 🎊
...maybe the laundry isn't your biggest problem....
i dont have time to watch this i gotta go
This Jerry guy is funny! He should be a comedian!
😆😂🤦🏾
00:45 These days we would be taking all the phones in instead of remote controllers;-)
exactly
lol Jerry totally ripped off himself in that first bit in his latest Netflix thing
That skit around 11:00 is like a bad trip haha
Joel Hodgeson!!!! @4:40
MST3K! Best thing in the world EVER!
Yep. The credits say that Joel wrote this entire special with Jerry.
Isn't that the guy from mystery science theater 3000
I did not expect that! lol
Who thought to start playing music during his encore? And roll the credits?! Makes it look like he’s going over his time and they’re playing him off smh
Nice Larry Miller appearance
Joel Hodgson appearance!
This is old...
👏👏👏👏👏👏
So this is when everything started
