This is such a perfect encapsulation of the show’s message. The characters never learn anything from episode to episode, there’s very little reflection from the characters, and when it does happen (like here) it never ends up in anything changing. Jerry and George briefly marry women in season 7, but by season 8 they’re back to old habits. No hugging, no learning. Love this show.
In 1995, Michael Richard’s had recently been divorced from Cathleen Lyons. This episode was written by Larry David, who was married to Laurie Lennard until 2007.
Anyone else notice that Kramer gets a plate out of the fridge fully prepped with a ready-to-eat sandwich? Of course this is something you notice only after watching the scene many, many times.
I knew a couple in their 80s, and had married for 50 years. They slept in separate rooms (due to snoring), had separate TVs, and often ate separately. They were still married when I moved away. Just because you're married doesn't mean you have to spend every minute of the day with your spouse. My last ex (not married) was suffocating though like Kramer describes. I was questioned about where I was going when I stood up and walked out of the room in my own house. Ffs, I had to pee, leave me alone for 2 minutes. I haven't had a relationship since then.
I love how you read the title and think it's going to be something else but instead get advice on marriage from Kramer the guy who most defines yhas done speed.
This is exactly why we as a society should uphold our youth. We don’t need to be in such a hurry to grow up. When we realize our true happiness lies in our prosperity, it’ll turn that prison into a paradise.
I, saw an extremely old & depressed couple @ Wendy's today they sat @ a small table & eat there small meals & Frostys barely saying a word to one another
I like this Kramer. Kramer may be a goofball but hes not idiot. Too many adults feel entitled to relationahips as a source of fullfillment. Yet, they end up worse off, and if kids are invooved, they carry the trauama. I think society is secretly hateful of bachelors because they avoided unnecessary heartache.
I'm not exactly a bachelor but me and my boyfriend are remarkably stable together, we don't plan on marrying and we're thinking of adoption but that's not happening until both of us are ready, I'm 20 and he's 25
Except that Kramer doesn't have anything against women. He's a grown adult who gets along with everyone, as oppose to an immature boy who's stuck in the "ew, girls have cooties" phase.
@@PageandPlant4Life Stop projecting your nonsense. I own the DVD box set of Seinfeld, and there's nothing in the series (and in the commentary) that even suggests that Kramer is an anti-woman manchild.
I asked one of my friend about this even asking to used the bathroom. He told it very true and he have to talk during breakfast lunch and dinner. On weekend he doesn't plan nothing just her do all the planning. So I ask him so you just a third wheel and follow her around. What a sad state of affairs. And it gotta sucks
"These tales have not been embellished because they need no embellishment. They are simply, horrifyingly, the stories of my life as a short, stocky, slow-witted bald man."
I'm 35. As someone who since about the age of 16 has never wanted to be married, never wanted to have kids and currently lives alone... I can attest personally that Kramer is correct. The only human relationships I have are with my co-workers, at a job I am very fortunate to have, and maybe one or two people outside of it. Kids disgust me (got a vasectomy when I was 25 to end that) and even the idea of having a girlfriend makes me feel intruded on.
I mean. If you marry the right person it's: When I wake up, she's there!! When I go to sleep, she's there!! You ask yourself "Do I HAVE to go to the bathroom right now or can I spend more time with her?" Then it's "how was your day today?" And you're actually interested because this person is genuinely amazing and you love everything about them. And the two of you can eat dinner watching TV together, and have deep conversations together, and laugh together, cry together, and get through life together.. Marriage is only prison if you choose for it to be. It can also be a lifelong friendship filled with love, adventure, and endless sex. It's a choice.
"you love everything about them" That legitimately sounds like an acute mental disorder. I think you could love each other and still both understand that mandatorily delving into the excruciating minutia of "how was your day, tell me everything" is actually supposed to be painfully boring. I mean, you could also tell each other all about what your morning crap looked like in the toilet before it was flushed. "Well, yes. You should _want_ to have that discussion in great detail every day if you truly love someone." ...Or, maybe a line exists where tedious, boring, and mundane really is tedious, boring, and mundane. Maybe true love is generously sparing each other the misery. partner #1 - Do you want to tell me all about your day? Every hill and valley? partner #2 - No. Because I love and respect you.
Heroin is only a prison if you choose for it to be. It can also be a lifelong friendship filled with love, adventure, and endless getting high. It's a choice.
*Counterargument №01:* That Marriage and Fatherhood are prisons. They're not if you work to become the respected superior in both. Most husbands and fathers have no plan or masculine will to carry it out when they get married, no vision. They just let it happen and when you're floating, that's when women take over; manage things poorly for their primary benefit; don't discipline the kids in a loving way that inspires them to be the kind who grow up with values and take care of you; then sleep with your neighbor. Strong men don't have such problems.

You can hear Larry David talking through Kramer here.
Yep!!
Maybe so, but Kramer delivered everything here like a master craftsman. He was hilarious
Kramer doesn’t want Jerry to get married so he can keep hanging out with him
And eating his food

Jerry never got married...he was engaged but not married..."He met himself and swept himself off his feet"
Kramer must’ve been married before. Only a married man would know this
Or he came across hundreds unhappy marriages with friends and family and paid attention.

Of course this is something you notice only after watching the scene many, many times.
Well why do you think Kramer likes to shop at Jerry’s fridge ? Cos Jerry likes to prep his food
I think that's why he discouraged him from getting married
I also just noticed this watching the scene. So weird haha.
The first time they met each other Seinfeld say to him that he can feel at home. my home is your home something like that.. So he listen..😂
I noticed as he entered the room his eyes went straight to the kitchen. He was probably only there to get the sandwich
I love how that sandwich is just sitting on the plate in the refrigerator just waiting for Kramer. I wish it was like that at my house
maybe there is but neighbour is faster than you
I like to think Jerry made it just for him
My favourite seinfeld scene. Hilarious
It’s actually NOT hilarious at all.
That's not accurate, my mom and dad never talk to each other about how their day was, in fact they barely talk to each other.
🤣
🤣🤣

Kramer describing marriage as a prison, while Jerry wears a monochromatic striped shirt. I do hope that was intentional costume selection.
I've noticed that, too.

Kramer escaped The Matrix
so kramer came over earlier and made lunch?
we all know he didnt hahaha
Kramer gives some sage advice.
Kramer saw the future; no more mooching from Jerry with some battle ax wife hanging around 😂
I love the fact that Jerry just keeps a fully made sandwich in his fridge, so that the K-man can grab it.

This scene seems a bit extended. Was this only available on their DVD's?
Best!!🤣
How would Kramer know about marriage?
Why does he call him 'George Costanza' to Kramer? Do they know another George they speak with on a regular basis?
It's to add formality and gravitas to the idea that there "is more to life".
Brilliant comedian
old age for such people is amazing. not something they will show in sponsored artwork
When did Jerry tell George ‘we didn’t make a pact, we just shook hands?’ Was it after this conversation?
