Title: So is Seinfeld actually funny? And if so, when does it get good? LETS BE NICE!
Post by: Tieno on December 06, 2008, 05:27:26 PM: So I started watching Seinfeld after being totally homo for It's Always Sunny and people saying it's like "Seinfeld on Crack". I've never really bothered with it Seinfeld before and now I've seen 3 episodes it hasn't really gotten a laugh out of me. Now, I know I need to give it some time to give it a propper chance, but if and when does it actually start to be funny? Cause it's shooting blanks atm.

Post by: Oblivion on December 06, 2008, 05:31:19 PM: I like Seinfeld, but was never a super huge fan of it. Main reason being it seemed the cast would get nearly always get fucked over in the end. Not really something I tend to enjoy for my shows. I don't particularly care about the first few seasons either, and liked the much latter ones, though your mileage may vary.

More of a "oh... heh" kind of funny.

Always sunny, is that creative, utterly distinguished mentally-challenged, kind of funny.

Post by: Don Flamenco on December 06, 2008, 06:35:14 PM: For me, a lot of its humor comes from knowing people who fit the awkward Jewish New Yorker stereotypes that the characters are. On top of that, a lot of the situational stuff was being done in a time before "everything and anything" was done on comedy TV and tepid sitcoms still ruled the air. They had lots of clever stories, tons of funny characters with really unique idiosyncrasies, and quality writing...it wasn't like Friends where you feel 10 IQ points dumber after watching it. It's like Curb Your Enthusiasm without swears and with a few more main characters (and what do you know, Larry David wrote for the show, haha.)

I agree that you should probably skip the first season and maybe the second too.
Title: Re: So is Seinfeld actually funny? And if so, when does it get good?
Post by: Phoenix Dark on December 06, 2008, 06:42:42 PM: Always Sunny couldn't be more different from Seinfeld. To me it's funny in terms of subtle (and not so subtle) "ha that reminds me of my mom/dad/dude at the gas station/waiter/etc", ie reminding you of past experiences through everyday life stuff. Not bust-out-laughing type funny (for the most part). To me Arrested Development is a great mixture of both styles
Title: Re: So is Seinfeld actually funny? And if so, when does it get good?
Post by: Don Flamenco on December 06, 2008, 06:43:50 PM: It's still phenomenal...there's a shitload of newer and better comedy than the tripe being put out around Seinfeld's time, but Seinfeld is still above a lot of it. I think a lot of people's senses of humor aren't as in tune with it these days. Comedy has changed a lot in the 00s.

That's the thing about it; it's humor has a real depth to it that something like IASIP doesn't have. Seeing Charlie open the the door wearing an nazi uniform and eating a banana had me on the floor but it diminishes with each viewing. really watching some eps of sunny a second time through is hard and that goes with a lot of sitcoms. There are some that retain there value and seinfield is one of them.

Post by: etiolate on December 06, 2008, 08:11:37 PM: Seinfeld was just another overrated NBC show. There's so much shit on NBC that seems to succeed merely by their corporate backing than any real quality. Will & Grace was gay exploitation with two jokes being beaten into the ground. Seinfeld was just obnoxious new yorkers that everyone said people should laugh at, despite being annoying and only touching the brim of funny. There was what, soup nazi? Maybe frogger? Two moments in a long series? ...Yeah

you don't really have to watch the episodes in order once you know the main 4 characters

and if you still don't like it, you're a fucking dumbass. go watch some shitty ass britcom

2nd season has a lot of great episodes too. The pony remark, chinese restaurants, the phone message, the deal.

actually fuck it. watch all of season 2 also.

Post by: ToxicAdam on December 07, 2008, 12:21:15 AM: Seinfeld had about 3-4 golden years (Parts of 2 and 6 and all of 3-5). The show really clicked with me when I watched the one where they are waiting to get seated at a Chinese restaurant. I believe it was near the end of the second season.

Towards the end of it's run, it was pretty much Constanza carrying the show.

Also, alot of the Seinfeld "humor" is showing people being uncomfortable or creating situations that make the viewer uncomfortable. If you don't find that kind of tension funny, then you probably won't like Seinfeld. Larry David ratchets up that aspect ten fold with Curb Your Enthusiasm.

Post by: Eel O'Brian on December 07, 2008, 11:21:49 AM: the problem with most sitcoms is that they have to crank out 22 episodes a year (way back in early television, sometimes shows ran for 39 episodes a season), so of course you're going to get a lot of clunker episodes, especially in longer-running shows

my first season set of andy griffith has 32 episodes, and bewitched had 36 (the second season ran for 38)

i love them, but there are a lot of similar plots that pop up, and they tend to stretch things out a bit

Second: Seinfeld was the greatest show on TV while it was on the air. That includes comedy and drama.
Third: There is not a single comedy on TV right now that stacks up to Seinfeld.

I've watched up through season 5 so far of the DVDs [though I've seen most of the episodes on TV already] and I agree with this. The first two seasons had a few good episodes, but the acting, writing, and characters just hadn't clicked yet.

I think the show really picked up with the season 3 episode where they all get lost in the parking garage.

Post by: Cheebs on December 07, 2008, 01:30:52 PM: Costanza is right. The show doesn't get good till season 3.

When Larry David leaves the show as the showrunner (after season 7) it starts to go downhill though.

it is NEVER correct, however, to observe that utter drek like frasier and pandering mediocrity like that 70's show are even a rough analogue for the writing of seinfeld. NEVER.

Post by: etiolate on December 07, 2008, 07:24:55 PM: the "YOU SHOULD LIKE SIENFELD" mantra of this thread is the same thing that people oozed in the 90s

Watching Seinfeld with others was so painful. Everyone staring at the TV, wanting to laugh simply because they think they should, but unable to giggle about obnoxious New Yorkers. Maybe if the show wasn't tied to Jerry it would have had earned its accolades, but the whole presence and snobbery he brought ruins so much. It wasn't even acting snobbery or uppity, it was true uppitiness that oozed beyond the character. Like watching any Nicholas Cage film where he tries play a common man when you can tell he's just covering up his nasaly silver spoon.

I break the nose of whoever said it.

Speaking of rewatching, I've watched it a long time ago... so maybe the language barrier played a role.

Also King of Queens is great. Demi loves it too. It stars a fat guy.

Post by: Fragamemnon on December 08, 2008, 02:21:26 AM: I think the show is terrible, but then again I have awful, awful taste in motion picture/television anything. Like, I'll turn off Godfather or A Princess Bride five minutes in but can watch 1970s made for TV movies about giant ants and killer bees all day.

I did love that Jerry Seinfeld interview with Larry King, that was good stuff and King got schooled.

I thought Seinfeld was being a huge huge asshole in that interview

Post by: Reb on December 08, 2008, 11:23:25 AM: I don't think it was insecurity. It was a really uninformed question by Larry King.
Come on, cancelling one of the most popular shows ever?
Title: Re: So is Seinfeld actually funny? And if so, when does it get good? LETS BE NICE!
Post by: AdmiralViscen on December 08, 2008, 12:38:04 PM: It seemed to me that Larry was just using it as a segue to kissing Seinfeld's ass. "They didn't cancel you, YOU cancelled them," that was the comment. Then Jerry carries on like a dickhead for 5 minutes.

Post by: Olivia Wilde Homo on December 08, 2008, 12:43:32 PM: Friends had its moments and none of it was because of the humor (was there any?). There are some scenes where Courteney Cox was just nipping. Maybe it was 30 degrees in the room or something but that rocked my 11-12 year old world. The younger Jennifer Aniston was :drool

The show mostly sucked because half of it was useless Ross and Rachel shit. Interspersed with Joey's promiscuity turned sentimentality in later seasons and Chandler's neurotic persona which had already been beaten into the ground by the 100,000 Ben Stiller flicks that were released in that show's timeframe.
