Quoted: This doesn’t even make any sense. I didn’t say anything “edgy” whatsoever nor was I trying to. WTF are you talking about? Did you respond to the wrong thread, or do you have no idea what edgy means? View Quote View All Quotes View All Quotes Quoted: Quoted: Hey OP, Bladeforums called, they're running out of edge.

Quoted: She was 17, he was 38 This isn't a rumor either, it was a verified fact. Imagine you're in high school and you find out a friend is dating an almost 40 year old. Or you have an almost 40 year old friend that's dating a 17 year old high school girl. Everyone would consider you a massive creep. But celebrities get treated differently. https://i.imgur.com/ayWosDr.jpeg View Quote View All Quotes View All Quotes Quoted: Quoted: That big titted barely legal girl he dated was hot. his wife isn't bad.

Or you have an almost 40 year old friend that's dating a 17 year old high school girl. Everyone would consider you a massive creep. But celebrities get treated differently. Real-life Jerry Seinfeld, comedian, TV star and life observer, was strolling through Central Park one day in May 1993 when he spotted a stranger he now calls "the most wonderful girl in the world." Seinfeld, then 38, sallied over, made small talk and went away with the telephone number of Shoshanna Lonstein — then 17 and a senior at the private Nightingale-Bamford School in Manhattan. https://i.imgur.com/ayWosDr.jpeg Not that there’s anything wrong with that |

Quoted: I'm okay with him turning 70. It weirds me out that he was only 35 when he started his tv show. Why? I don't know. View Quote Probably because that age feels ridiculously young to you now, and it's weird to compare where you were at that age, with the success he had. I have that reaction even with myself, like, "I was too young and inexperienced to have been doing that shit." |

Quoted: I've tried to rewatch it numerous times over the years but the laugh tracks are an instant show stopper for me. Just can't get past them. I don't know how they were acceptable back then other than that was all we knew. View Quote The show was mostly filmed with a live studio audience, so the laughs are real. |

Seinfeld started in 1989
I Love Lucy started in 1951 38 year difference 2024 - 1989 = 35 year difference We’re almost the same difference away from now to Seinfeld that we were in 1989 to the beginning of I Love Lucy |

Quoted: I find that disturbing slightly. When a show is so big like Seinfeld, and you’ve seen all the episodes 75 times, he’s just stuck in my head as a 35-40ish year old guy, young, dating, having fun. Jerry being 70 is weeeeird man. View Quote Same here. I will be 70 in September. Never saw it coming. 2 combat tours in Afghanistan doesn't seem possible in my lifetime. It does seem that Seinfeld was a fountain of youth. I'm going to deal with it. What's even more absurd is the White House is occupied by a soon to be 82 y/o corrupt, pedophile with a shitty diaper who was elected to the senate during my first semester in college, 1972. This was also the same year of Roe v Wade and a couple years prior to Watergate. |

I remember back in the early 90's my boss had called for a mandatory night time meeting to take place at a restaurant. Well one of the guys had not shown up so I called his house and his mother answered. I said he is supposed to be at a meeting for work. She said "Oh no, we watch Seinfeld tonight. The guy was 23.

I have to do it for family and friends who are younger to help me appreciate their perspective. I'm like, OK, this kid was born in 2003. When referencing "Back to the Future" or "Commando" for him, that's like when I was in my early 20s and dudes referenced "Vertigo" or "Bridge in the River Kwai." It also grow to realize how "recently" events were that happened a decade or two before you were born. As a kid, they are ancient history. As you get older, you realize how recently they were in the memories of the adults you grew up around. Anyone born in before 1978 had adults in their lives whose memories of WW2 were more recent than our current memories of the 1991 Persian Gulf War, and the Sept. 11th attacks were already longer ago than the Tet Offensive was when said war kicked off. |

Quoted: Because Larry David’s writing is what made the show funny, along with the supporting cast of George, Kramer, and Elaine. Seinfeld on his own would’ve been a flop. View Quote View All Quotes View All Quotes Quoted: Quoted: I’ve never found him amusing, but I am clearly in the minority. Because Larry David’s writing is what made the show funny, along with the supporting cast of George, Kramer, and Elaine. Seinfeld on his own would’ve been a flop. Jerry is funny but in a more traditional comic way. Kramer and Costanza made the show what it is. Kramer, George, Frank Costanza, Jerry, Elaine. In that order. Newman gets an honorable mention, as well as Jerry’s parents and George’s mom. |

I found the show Seinfeld to be quite funny but that was mostly due to the writing and other characters. Jerry Seinfeld on stage is the most unfunny comedian I have ever seen.
Having said that, he is now worth a billion dollars due to the residuals from the show and other things so he must have done something right. |

Never cared for the show. Never really found him funny.
His stand is ok. For me , it's his voice, and delivery. |

Whenever I see an episode of Seinfeld it gives me fond memories of being at my grandparents house. They loved watching Seinfeld.

It’s a good show, a classic at this point. It shaped and changed society as we know it in some ways. I also enjoy his stand up, his last Netflix special was very good and I watch it every now and again.

One of the few shows that I actually loved. Always loved the episode where George parks his car in a handicap spot

The writing was what made Seinfeld great. Multiple parallel story lines that neatly intersected in the final seconds or final line of the episode were brilliant.
My favorite ending, "The Fatigues" It tied parallel story lines about Kramer hosting a Jewish singles group, Elaine promoting a scary worker she was afraid to fire, and George's father's PTSD ( from cooking during the Korean War) neatly into a single event in the final seconds of the show. Frank Cooks Again | The Fatigues | Seinfeld |

I saw him live at a comedy club in Jacksonville, Florida before he got his TV show.
Now I feel old |
