Apparently Michael Richards didn't want his character to be too closely linked to Newman as a duo. Understandable, as Newman is the only character on the show that consistently stole the scene.
@@vinylholicsanonymous3871 Fortunately, Michael Richards softened his stance on duos over the years, because he was excited to see a team with Kramer and Mickey.
This is not just one of the funniest episodes of Seinfelt but probably one of the funniest in TV history, absolutely epic and a testament to the Seinfelt show that they had such amazing caracters
Next to Newman, George seems normal. The last min. 4:15 to 5:15 is so funny especially how Newman is trying to portray how Kramer was trying to kill himself. Within a min Newman goes bonkers. He's arguing with his own witness. Genus comic acting.
And it ties in to earlier in the episode (or previous episode) where Joe Davola kicked him in the head and gave him a slight concussion. So he forgets Newman's story WHILE he's in the middle of it. And the Yo-Yo Ma outburst due to the same concussion early in this clip always gets me. 😂
@@12classics39 I'm not even sure that it was intentional. Michael Richards was very in his physical comedy. When Newman grabbed him, Michael did one of his awkward Market moves to get a laugh. The flagpole falling might have been gravy.
Wayne Knight really knocked it out of the park in this one lol. I've read that he has now lost much of his weight and is doing fine. One of my favorite actors!
1:58 Newman: "Yes, I admit I was speeding... But it was to save a man's life! A close friend! An innocent person who wanted nothing more out of life than to love, to be loved and to be a banker!"
Apparently he studied ballet or something and he learned how to be really light on his feet. You can best see it in the scene where Kramer is chasing the tow truck, while carrying the Risk board and Newman comes striding in behind him at full speed lol. Gotta give the guy credit and he did lose a bunch of weight too!
I love the way Newman seems to put special emphasis on the word banker. A genius little comedy detail which starts to get funny after he’s done it a few times.
HAHAHAHAHA!!!! I had forgotten about that one entirely. Hilarious!! And the ticket was only $75! It would have been much simpler to just pay the $75. But this is pretty funny! Kramer’s a loyal friend. I bet he’d have done the same for Bob Sacamano.
this scene is one of my 3 all-time favorite Seinfeld performances, along with the mohel telling Elaine not to put her glass near the edge of the table and Mr Bookman lecturing Jerry. Just fantastic acting and I laugh out loud every time, dozens of viewings later
The Seinfeld series is analogus to the Apollo moon missions in that as time passes, we realize what a monumental achievement it was and one that will likely never be surpassed.
@@jlvandat69 Haha that's how I feel about God, like if I believed in god then maybe life wouldn't suck all the time. But yeah, the Apollo Missions 100% happened.
Wayne Knight is proof that big guys are funnier. This scene is hilarious largely because of the physical element of the comedy. Big guys are always best at physical comedy. Chris Farley is another great example. Just look at how Newman is sweating profusely. It's not the same with skinny guys
Chris Farley IS the example! He had a huge heart and actually could act. Look at Tommy Boy and Black Sheep again and watch the parts where he generally acts. His physical comedy was really unmatched! Man can still make me laugh. His Oberdose was an unfair hand he was dealt.
For me, the funniest part is where Newman says “And this failure to become a banker was just eating, and eating, and eating at you inside?” And Kramer says “Uh yeah.” The way he says that is just hilarious. 02:56
@@airport862 Ah yess...I used to really enjoy the show n watch it on tv. I still associate Joseph Gordon-Levitt to this sitcom more than any Hollywood movie.
Newman's Clarence Darrow shtick is perfect, the crumpled shirt, the braces, the impassioned theatrical gestures, and Kramer for once focuses on playing the straight man role. Classic television.
It's hard to pick out a single "funniest" scene from Seinfeld. But this one would always be a top contender. 2 total idiots concoct an over elaborate scenario to get out of paying a simple traffic citation. And then it falls apart due to their inability to stick to the plan, along with their frequent argumentativeness and bickering.
I love the way Newman says "banker"
The chemistry between Kramer and Newman has never been matched. Legendary comedy right here.
Lemme guess? You dont really watch other comedies aside from Seinfeld.

The judges face when Newman says he does charity work with the blind is one of my favorite moments of this show.

The judge is hilarious!
The judge is great 👍
I love how the judge is so bored while this outlandish story is being concocted by an increasingly agitated Newman.
His reaction @3:17 was better.
When Newan mentioned he does charity work for the blind, I love how the judge rolls his eyes not believing the B.S. coming out of Newman's mouth.
Lol he’s like “The neck brace and crutches routine is more believable.”
They could have also investigated Newmans charity work for the blind and the 3 banks Kramer apparently applied for.

Kramer got pics of the sniffer in the bathroom stall. It wasn't Kramer's fault that the sniffer wasn't actually a coke head.
This is maybe the funniest Seinfeld scene, Newman totally losing it has me in hysterics every time
One of the best scenes.....Kramer getting confused at the end while Newman is losing Kramer's understanding :)
Love how he says banker
me too, it's one of the best ever, when he hangs himself with his own tie is when the tears start for me.
How about the first scene where newmie is thinking hard but comes up with no ideas?
I agree!
Newman was phenomenal. He was criminally underutilized.
I would argue that he was utilized the perfect amount.
I love how he's just as much of a narcissist and casual liar as the rest of the group. One of the best side characters of all time.

..Kramer + Newman, .what a duo...!!!
I always said those two could have had a successful spin-off series.
'I do charity work with the blind in my spare time... for the lighthouse' is an underrated line hahaha
His leaning in to the mic adds to it. XD

Mr. Bookman was pretty funny.
*SeinfelD
The way he says “I don’t know.” Perfect delivery.
An innocent person who wanted nothing more out of life to love, to be loved, and to be a BANK-ER!
Whatta dialogue !! 😁
One of the best lines ever put on paper and then on celluloid!
he probably meant baker😂
Newman’s mental breakdown might be my favorite scene in this show.

Newman should have got multiple acting awards. Simply fantabulous acting.

I'm glad you used his name when talking about him. Most people just call him his character's name.
I saw him on Narcos. He looks great!
Good to hear.
“WHY!!!? WHY DID YOU FAIL?!?!?”

Agreed, this is one of the most hilarious set-ups of all time, has me in stitches!!

For a guy who is so out of shape, Newman is incredibly energetic.
He's like a sumo wrestler! 😅
George: He is jolly.
Jerry: He is jolly I’ll give him that.

Newman was animated big time in this scene, especially his freakout when Kramer was unable to corroborate the testimony.
