"I had the upper hand in the post-breakup relationship" Man, I'll never stop marveling at the talent of these writers, they really knew everything about human psychology
It would have been hilarious if he'd been in line to get another book correctly signed by Jarmel, but ended up being the book that Jarmel stabbed when Elaine showed him the glasses. (Although, I do think Jerry & Larry probably think that joke would be too cheesy)
Always loved how Jerry moves his legs from the coffee table @ 0:59 for Kramer to get by BUT immediately puts them back up on the coffee table even though he knows Elaine is following right behind! 🤣🤣🤣
Larry David. Curb is almost the same writing style but does not have the Seinfeld yang to Larry's darker yin. Like Daffy duck without Bugs bunny. 😃 Seinfeld is great but I think the show would not have made it without Larry David's amazing writing. This episode in particular feels like Curb. Always with the props. A jacket, a pair of glasses, a cape, pants, a calzone. Then miraculously button up all the sub plots up at the end and tie them all together. It's not simple. It's genius.
Twenty five years after the last episode, and I still have to say that the writing on this show was simply incredible. Just unreal how interwoven everything was, and every separate scenario in each one was hysterical.
Jake Jarmel should have been a longer running character. He and Elaine played off each other so well with their annoyance and pettiness. Great chemistry.
She went to Jake's publisher and intentionally got him interested in the glasses so she could give them to him... And drive Jake nuts! That is diabolical.
"smugness - is not a good quality" That CABI was halerious i think he was the funniest in the episode and in Seinfeld it's alot. "Good, revenge is very good"
I wish this showed the ending where Jake sees Lipman put on those glasses. Even at a public event, Jake didn't hesitate trying to take those glasses from Lipman.
I've always wondered if Elaine seized the opportunity at the diner and gave Lippman the glasses on purpose knowing he was going to see Jake and it would start a fight.
That's the same cab driver that kicks Jerry, George, and the understudy out of the car after they injure Bette Midler. He tells them they should eat prison food for the rest of their lives lmao
I think has irony touch this vid only lacks the ending of the episode during which Elaine Boss during a conference introduces Jake Jarmel and during the Q & A part he uses the glasses he bought/got from Elaine and gets confronted aggressively by the writer.
I loved the show til the end, but I'll never understand why they changed Elaine from a fun, conniving, partner-in-crime personality to a bitter old maid in the last few seasons. They changed her to ascerbic, with an undercurrent of meanness in her.
