Never heard of it.

I don’t think Larry Dvid is funny. Never have.

I never watched it until a buddy of mine got me into it last winter. we’d binge-watch it. Larry David isn’t that funny on his own, not to me, but his interactions with Susie were mostly my favourite moments. The Doll episode, I found hysterical.

I used to LOVE the show. The past few seasons were "meh" to me, so I kinda stopped watching.

But, it's still brilliant stuff

Humor is like Art, the paintings not the singer, and it is always nice to have another piece of art to observe appreciate and then enjoy,
and like style in clothes not everybody enjoys the same.

Like this one movie, from a few years ago, watch it once, it's funny, watched it another time, and figured out 3 or 4 other people were allegedly in relationships with each other, which created jealousys' that I had not known about, Which explained why people were mad,
it basically was like watching another whole movie altogether, and funny in a different way.

When the humor kind of unfolds in layers, like an episode of "three's company" it can be taken in in layers, and farce is dumb for being farce but it's also hilarious when you don't see it coming.
Kind of like bugs bunny and Yosemite sam riding trains, you know he's gonna get it, but you don't know how.

I love Seinfeld, really like Curb.

I've seen every episode of Seinfeld at least a half-dozen times - probably way more - and every episode of Curb at least twice.

George Costanza's character on Seinfeld is based on Larry David, me thinks.

It reminds me when George described he said the Gym teacher didn't like him and would call him "Can't>Stands>Ya" in taking attendance.

I never could get into Seinfeld. Tried, but couldn’t. Never understood why people thought Kramer was funny, and none of the characters were likeable as people.

That sums it up for me, Seinfeld pretty much sucked IMO. I don't think I have ever watched a complete episode and only bits of 4-5. That is the deal with comedy, either you like it or you don't. Sometimes it is the material, sometimes it is the delivery. There is no right or wrong. It simply is what it is.

I don't think they were meant to be likeable. For the most part, they all lacked compassion and empathy for fellow human beings outside of their own little group. I thought the show was really funny, and still watch the reruns.

I think, during their time, they were relatable to most people. I always looked at their jokes and humor as just above slapstick comedy in the comedy hierarchy, situational slapstick, is what I’d call it. They were the “three stooges” of their time.

What ? The magical vagina ?

Don’t get me wrong, I think Seinfeld was a smart, witty show and is one of the greatest sitcoms of all time (even if I’m not a fan).

this thread is pretty pretty pretty good
