Please, more Seinfeld. Season 1 and 2 have some good episodes but they haven’t quite gotten on to the Seinfeld formula all way at that point. Season 3 they really start to nail it and then season 4-7 are stellar with season 4 being, imo, the closest any sitcom has come to perfection with only 2 episodes that aren’t an A yet still funny.
Seinfeld is a classic, one of my favourite shows growing up. Even though it starts off slow it gets better later on and you know this is gonna be a great reaction when Jen is having a Heineken lol.
@@richlisola1 "No hugging, no learning" is a golden rule created by Larry David. I've got all Seinfeld seasons in a big DVD boxset with bonus material. Besides the four main characters there are other great characters like Newman, Frank Costanza, and various bosses that Elaine and George worked with. I can't stand "Friends", it's too cheesy for my taste.
Wait, Jen's doing Seinfeld now? This is an excellent show and a welcome surprise. Truly one of the greatest Sit-Coms of all-time, and Jen & her Serious Girl Spectacles pretty much Rule.
@@frankrodriguez2999 Believe it or not George isn't at home please leave a message at the beep I must be out or I'd pick up the phone Where could I be? Believe it or not I'm not home.
Something to keep in mind is that “Season 1” actually comprised a pilot episode aired in summer 1989 that didn’t get picked up, then four more episodes that aired in summer 1990 that finally sold the show, which is why Elaine wasn’t in the pilot episode, and Jerry’s father was played by a different actor. The first actual season, “Season 2,” began in January 1991.
Hi Jen, my dad and I have been fans of your channel for a while now. Today is his 52nd birthday, and Seinfeld is his favorite show of all time. As soon as he came home from work and saw you had made a reaction, he was like, "we're watching it right now" lol. So thank you for this video, it was great! 😁 ❤
A true classic! It might seem slow in the beginning... but it picks up steam. Nobody knew what this was when it first came out... but it became one of the biggest shows in the world! 😎
Jen, Jen, Jen-- so glad you're reacting to Seinfeld, perhaps the best sit-com in T V history. Can't wait till you get to seasons 3 and 4 IMO this is when the series really takes off!
@@fitzgivesfits1 I'm with you on this. I bought a bag of cotton balls once in my 20s. I'm 53 now and have used about 10 of them for scrapes and cuts over the years. One bag is a lifetime supply.
10:35 Man, I really miss video stores. There was just something about walking around the store, going up and down the aisles, looking at all the VHS tapes, admiring the covers, picking them up and reading everything that was on the back of them. Kids today will never know how oddly satisfying it was.
This is my youth! I could'nt understand half the jokes but the physical humour was there! Georges Costanza is by far the best TV character ever written. Thx for this reaction Jen :)
That's kinda better tbh, movies or shows that you watch in your youth & some things go over your head- once you see it & understand it just adds even more to it lol
FYI - going forward just so you know that George is representing "Larry David" the creator of shows life. Everything quirky and ideocracy of George is based on Larry David and he nailed it.
@@TroyConvers5000 In the LATE 90s. I didn't get one until about 1998, my third year of college, and they weren't even that common. That's the year this show ended. Edit: LOL I just remembered my girlfriend had one in 1997, before me. But she didn't use it, it was in a drawer. It was too expensive to make calls and too expensive to cancel the plan.
That's true for so many things, but particularly with a lot of comedy (and romantic comedy) in the 80's and 90's, where the humor revolves around missed connections or an inability to communicate, or a message somehow getting lost along the way. On a different note, I've always kind of thought that Goldeneye should have been the final James Bond film. Aside from the fall of the Soviet Union, James Bond just doesn't really work in the age of smart phones and the internet, which is why they had to reimagine him in the Daniel Craig era as more of a Jason Bourne type action hero. Having to bring a bunch of cool spy gadgets to exotic locations to do spy stuff just doesn't make sense anymore when an iPhone can do half the stuff his gadgets can, and basically all information is online anyway and can be accessed from anywhere on the planet.
Yeah, he used to say that if a joke was funny, no cussing was necessary, and if it's not necessary, why cuss? Jerry's a very philosophical guy. Love that about him. :)
Love seeing you enjoying this and laughing so genuinely! This is my fav sitcom of all time and the comedy still has me in stitches to this day. Also, as a fellow Pom owner, that pomeranian shirt is so cute 😍🐶
They say it's a show about nothing, but its actually a show about how a comedian gets their material. His stand up is usually directly related to what happens in the episodes.
A. Your t-shirt is adorable B. Thank God you decided to watch this show (it's one of the greatest sitcoms ever) C. Such a fun watch - I love to see you laugh Jen :D
40:53 - Funny thing is that I'm literally eating a toasted tuna sandwich as I'm watching this! Unfortunately I ran out of pickle slices, so I had to go without...
Seinfeld? Yes please. One of my favorite sitcoms, a classic. Think that have watched most of Seinfeld episodes but has been some time since revisiting this fanciful realm of comedy.
Possibly the best evaluation of Jerry on this show. "He's such a shit." And that's only a few episodes in! Fun thing to do while watching this show ... Keep a list of people named but never seen. Like Jerry and Hornick's friend "Howard Metro" and George's friend "Simons." They seem random at first. But you will start to see that the writers do not lose track of these "characters" we never meet.
It's a show about nothing, yet it's one of the most beloved sitcoms of the 90's. Claire, the waitress in the pilot, was supposed to be a lead, but she was eventually replaced by Elaine.
Hey, Jen! Important to note that _Seinfeld_ was created by Larry David and Jerry. But it was really Larry David who was the creative genius behind the show, not so much Jerry. Larry was the showrunner and head writer (basically the equivalent of a film director, but for a TV show). So, after _Seinfeld,_ you NEED to watch _Curb Your Enthusiasm_ next, which was also created by Larry David and it also stars Larry as himself. _Curb_ is basically just rated-R _Seinfeld._ And also since George from _Seinfeld_ is based on Larry David's personality, _Curb_ is pretty much George Costanza the TV show. Larry is a comedy legend (more so than Jerry). But also, it'd be great if you watched some clips of Larry David now (and get to know his iconic voice) because Larry makes many, many cameos on _Seinfeld_ (either on screen or just his voice) and it would be really fun for us _Seinfeld_ fans if you were able to recognize Larry's cameos as the show progresses. Just a suggestion.🙂
Yes, what you've written about Larry David, the Seinfeld show, and Curb is all true and I agree. But on Curb, Larry plays a heightened version of himself. The character is called Larry David, is played by Larry David, but it's not exactly Larry David. Can we agree on that?
@@kevinlewallen4778 Yea, I know. As he calls it a _"fictionalized version of himself"_ just like Jerry's character on _Seinfeld._ I just didn't feel like mentioning it since my comment was long enough as is.😄
@@becausethemailneverstops9350 Haha nice, I've done a similar kind of experiment with my display icon right here. It's an 80s obscure pop artist named Melvin James. Cover image of his only/best album. In over 12 years only one person recognized it and it was just months ago! I even have 9k subscribers who are music lovers and are mostly older people.
I am so glad you are watching Seinfeld. This is the show that made Julia Louis Dreyfuss a superstar. Her character, Elaine, is awesome but all of the main characters are legendary. Many call this show the best show of the 1990's. For some great 1980's comedy I highly recommend viewing "Cheers". One of my all time favorites. I loved Rea Perlman as Carla (fun fact - she is married to Danny Devito in real life). You will enjoy this show.
Finally somebody reacting to Seinfeld🥳 & you're one of my favourite reactors! It's one of the best days ever & I burnt myself with freshly brewed coffee this morning & put on a dirty pants because I had a paper tissue with it in the washing machine & didn't recognize it😅
Me and a guy at work literally quote Seinfeld episodes daily. Im re-watching the seasons again i just cant get enough of the humor and the characters. Jen you're the cutest seeing your eyes light up and you laugh at all the episodes you're truly one of a kind
Thanks for these, Jen. I remember Seinfeld as one of the funny shows on Thursday nights; it didn't get lots of buzz at first. But eventually it appeared at 11 pm nightly on some cable channel and it suddenly exploded. Even my parents knew about it. The first line I remember: "I think it moved." Look forward to more seasons, thanks again.
WOW!! I honestly did not expect this one!! FYI, I am a standup comic as well. Recently at work, i discovered it has Netflix built in and I put my account on it and have been running Seinfeld from Season one and on. I never really watched it, but knew of it and saw a few things here and there, but seeing now from a comedians perspective, its even funnier when you can relate to some of the COMEDIAN aspects of the show. Also, it's way funnier than I thought it would be.
Wasn't expecting comments to be on when I clicked 😳 really enjoyed these reactions Jen as I've already said but this show is just a great time and you can't go wrong with a beer or two 🎉 that's my favourite t-shirt I've seen you wear so far it's wonderful all the love to Boston 🥰 a show for in the future I'd recommend schitts creek i binged the entire show when I had the flu a few years ago and it was fantastic
im pretty sure thats blue and orange for the Mets. he is a mets fan, and he is watching the Mets while wearing blue and orange. unless my TV sets are off, i always thought it was blue and orange. or is there another part u are talking about?
You might genuinely be my favorite react channel lately. Such fun picks for shows, and you never feel like you're deliberately over _or_ under reacting. It's a strangely prevalent problem that people who intentionally decide to film themselves reacting to movies seem like they're withholding their natural reactions.
Ok, Star Trek and now Seinfeld. Did we just become best friends. 😊😂😂 I never have joined any patreons. I’ve always wanted to. I think you just sold me Jen. 😊👏👏🥰
If I could afford to do more than free, I would. Jen's the best. If I ever visit Canada again, I'd definitely want to meet her and say hi! She's so down to Earth. :)
Before this show came out, we were going to have a special "Parent's Weekend" in college, and the student body had a large amount of money they said they were going to bring in someone like Steve Martin, Robin Silliams, or George Carlin. Instead, they went for a then-unknown comedian named Jerry Seinfeld. There was a huge uproar around campus and many of us didn't go, even making up names for him like "Hairy Mindmeld"
@@hollytooker507 Yeah. In my case, it took several seasons before I would even watch the show. Now I wish I had gone rather than participate in the boycott.
Yes! More Seinfeld! It’s one of my top 5 shows ever. It’s funny how you commented about the show like “what is this?” It’s famous for being “a show about nothing” and it’s hilarious. For a show about “nothing” that appeared 30 years ago I still encounter funny situations in life today that were topics on his show. My friends and I refer to them as “Seinfeld-moments” when we talk about them. I look forward to more Seinfeld reactions!
Oh my gosh, excellent! Seinfeld! If you watch the whole series, I'll be totally here for it. And the show gets funnier and funnier with each season. I love that you notice all the music. That will also keep you entertained. As for opera telecast innovations and robot butchers, I'm not sold. Btw Brian Regan is another comedian who works clean and is hilarious. (Very different style from Jerry Seinfeld, but equally funny.)
No it doesn't, Snoozefeld doesn't get better. Waving your arms and saying random words in a high pitched voice isn't funny, no matter how many years you do the same bit.
Clearly still being developed in the first series. I cannot think of one Jerry Seinfeld joke that made me laugh. He is insipid as a stand up and just unfunny. The Seinfeld series works because of the ensemble and writing. Jerry is basically the straight man.
@@Cheepchipsable yea i always said the OTHER 3, plus some recurring sides like Newman, Putty, Peterman, both sets of parents, etc are the off the wall characters, while Jerry was always the 'regular' one i guess. certainly the stiffest.
I was working in a regional theater in the late 80's/early 90's. We had two comics do a father's day show. They sold about 1,200 of the 1,800 capacity. One comic I recognized from Aliens and Beverly Hills Cop. The other I had never heard of before. They were going to come back the next year but the better known comic got a tv show. That comic was Paul Reiser and he got Mad About You with Helen Hunt. The other comic was going to come but I got a call from his manager and had to send it up to our general manager. That comic got a pilot and had them reschedule to later in the year. That show got cancelled as well when the show got picked up and Seinfeld was born. If we had Paul Reiser and Jerry Seinfeld do a show a year later they would have sold out an entire week.
I'd love to see season two. Seinfeld is great. I think for Gen X it's came in a time when lot's of us were just getting out of college too so the idea of being single in a city and having adult friends resonated. I've heard Friends appealled a lot to Millenials and gen z as this sort idealistic group of friends which i thought was interesting. For me the show was always Seinfeld. Probably because my friends were not at all like the people on Friends.
