Common Thought of Sir Rantsalot

Seriously folks, if you don’t like Seinfeld then you’ve major problems. To this day, I still watch the adventures of Jerry, George, Elaine and Kramer religiously. Each and every episode is about a teeny little problem that occurs. In some ridiculous way by the end of each episode it get solved. Jerry whines, Kramer does something farfetched, George yells, and Elaine gets embarassed. Why does it work so well? I have seen the Soup Nazi episode at least 5 times and I still can not get over the line, “NO SOUP FOR YOU!”. Cracks me up everytime.

How does a show that’s plot lethargic and so mellow remain such a phenomenon? I’ll tell ya why, we can all relate to it. I’m sure there’s been a time in all of our lives where we all refuse to eat something someones father made for us after he forgot to wash his hands after using the bathroom, misplaced thoughts on paper taken by the wrong hands, etc. 

I have been watching Seinfeld from the ripe young age of 11 on, I remember chatting with my friends about shows we watch and they were all agreeing on “Friends”, and I said, “I like Seinfeld better” of course, I got made fun of, screw them. Friends sucks. Granted, they didn’t have the intellect they do now, but neither did I, but I still liked it for Kramer and the dry humor.

I was glued to my seat for the final episode; I remember how big of an event it was, it was all over the newspaper, TV Guide, and I was ready to watch until the end. When the final episode aired, MTV did something special; during the commercials of the final episode, MTV aired a few short minutes of a showed that needs to be resurrected as well, Cartoon Sushi. Cartoon Sushi was a showcase of psychotic animation from the US and Canada, since I have always been into animation, it was a feast for the eyes. On the last episode of Seinfeld, the gang got locked up for their antics throughout the years. I remember shedding a tear or two. I will never forget where I was.

Recently, my friend bought the complete series for close to around $300, he claims it’s worth every penny. It even came with a dope coffee table book with production notes and junk.

For Jerry Seinfeld’s mindless thoughts and dry humor, he’s earned the spot of one of my favorite comedians. Bee Movie was definitely a goo-un for it kept it’s own with a bunch of material from Seinfeld.

Well, I’d love to rant more about Jerry Seinfeld, but the show’s coming on soon!

Catch ya on the flipside
