Kramer always has some over-the-top slapstick entrance in the show, they were making a joke about that. For what it's worth, it cracked me up.@@jamesjameson4566
That is likely an actual routine Seinfeld would do, considering how he jokes about his mother, especially on the show. It's indeed a stereotype that black guys are very protective of their mothers while Jewish guys wish their mothers would just die already.
@@SonnyGTA this comment is dumb as fuck. Both shows are outstanding comedies? Martin and Seinfeld are 90s classics. Fuck off with that stupid opinion of yours.
MadTV was awesome too. SNL sucks in comparison. YOu watch one skit where the actors are reading cue cards, then 5 commercials, then a band, then another skit. Garbage.
Jim's Seinfeld impersonation is great, but that guy playing George was KILLING it. Impressions are all about picking out the unique parts of a person/character and then exploiting them, which Jim Carrey does better than most even when he's WAY overdoing it (of which this clip is a good example). With that being said, I laughed so hard at how exactly spot on George was here. I know... Stupidest RU-vid rant of all time, but Daps had to be given to George for making me laugh out loud by myself.
+ASocialCJ No, for real. I thought the same thing. George was really perfect. He studied Jason Alexander well. Nothing bad to say about Jim, but I liked George better.
@@WhiteCheddar. Is still amazing to me. This is my opinion, and "was" is yours. Both these opinions can coexist in reality my friend, so please stop speaking to other people as if your opinion is fact for all, and not fact for just you. Look up the word narcissist.
That’s Jay Leggett, he had a few bit parts but his best known works “Without A Paddle” “Employee of the Month” (the 2004 film, not the 2006 film with Dane Cook), were as a writer/producer/director. He passed from a heart attack in 2013.
@@MNTPWR29416 He said it during a set he was bombing in a comedy club, there was supposed to be no recording allowed. Of course that doesn't make any of what he said ok.
I LOVE that Jim Carey’s impression is surreal and not just mimicry. The other ILC actors sorta take the same approach. That’s what makes it 20x funnier than your average SNL skit, because they were not just going for broad humor, they were actually just fucking weird 😂😂.
Dana Carvey's impressions have similar qualities. It's like he's doing cartoon versions of his subects. He's less interested in doing spot-on celebrity impressions, and he's more interested in having fun and creating entirely new characters with his impressions. Dana Carvey prioritizes comedy over accuracy, and his impressions are often very funny. In contrast, when Jay Pharaoh does Eddie Murphy, he becomes Eddie Murphy. He prioritizes accuracy, and his impressions are extremely good, but they're usually more amusing than they are, laughing out loud, funny. Jim Carrey's impressions are more like Dana Carvey's. Jim prioritizes being funny, creative, and way over the top. In this case, Jim Carrey turned Jerry Seinfeld into some kind of freakish space alien, who will never understand humans, no matter how hard he tries or for how long he observes them, because he's simply not a human. As you said, Jim's impression was totally surreal. It was also brilliant and hilarious.
I kinda felt bad for Kramer, he was probably going through some things in his personal life and it came to head that night... He absolutely 🙃 flipped out.. Always loved him in Seinfeld, one of f not the best physical comedians of this generation... I dont liook at him any differently despite how he behaved that nighr, I still rock with his comedy when I watch Seinfeld reruns.. we all err in life. The original ASSMAN😆
To me, the funniest thing about this bit is that Jerry for some reason decided to grab George and take a field trip through to the ghetto at 3 in the morning, just to make observational jokes.
These are some of the best Seinfeld jokes Jerry never told. "Whyyy, do they call it Bumrushing? Who's the bum? What's the rush?" These are gold, Jerry! Gold!!
The bum rush rant actually makes sense. This is what some guys don't get, when you're doing an impression it has to sound like something the character would say, it's not enough to just do the voice.
"Whos the Bum what's the Rush,why would a bum be in a Hurry?!?! they have nowhere to go" .....that still sticks with me 20 years after this got broadcast
Man there were some legendary comedic actors on this show, but it seems like Tommy Davidson was able to totally lose himself in every single silly role he played. Much respect.
Man he was good. Left that show a little too early i think. In the first episodes they had Damon Wayans, Jim Carrey, Tommy Davidson, Jaime Foxx, Keenan, David Alan Grier, etc. Unbelievable. And yeah, Tommy Davidson stands out. In THAT group. What a cast all around
Maître Renard what the hell are you talking about? George looks like Newman in your opinion? This is a parody of the show, not the show itself. It won't be perfect. The mannerisms, voices of the characters are dead on, its pretty damn impressive.
Love how he's doing a George impression that's based off Larry David. So it's like an impression of an impression. Tommy Davidson's high pitched voice completed the quadruple killer act for me. Behold talent who knew how to give stage and take it. You won't see this kind of thing ever again. Cemented.
Actually, Jason said he originally decided to play George as an over-the-top Woody Allen and didn't realise straight away the character was based on Larry.
That friggin' music at the beginning. Perfection. It's one thing I love about parodies is when they do a mock up of the original music, but this here takes the cake, had me in stitches. Jim Carrey and Jay Leggett here, priceless.
He does a great Seinfeld but the gold is in the writing that's where the impression gets it's legged. They delivered jokes that were 80-90% spot on of the way Seinfeld does segways.
I remember watching this with my mom when I was a kid and she was laughing so hard but I didn't get it at all, being I wasn't really familiar with Seinfeld yet. Now that I'm older, I'm glad I came across this because its hilarious, especially now that I get what Jim was making fun of about Jerry.
Seinfeld was kind of an obscure show the first few seasons in the 90s. It had respectable, but mediocre ratings. A small group of fans. Season 4 in 1993, the show was moved to Must See Thursdays. That move and when they started showing reruns shot it straight to #1 and became THE tv show of the 90s. This skit was shot in 1993, right when Seinfeld was starting to become a household name.
I never knew Jim could do a Seinfeld impression. It was good. But the guy playing George was excellent. Also another guy who does a great George/Jerry/Kramer/Newman is Frank Caliendo who I had the pleasure of meeting back in 2007.
It's have. You don't make without having. Nice try trying to catch a black man on English whitey. Next time think before you speak. I know your language better than you.
It's funny that this is probably the genesis of the classic "what's the deal" Parody of Seinfeld in the zeitgeist. That on it's own is genius. Even if you aren't aware of the careers and legends this show spawned.
Are you like 12 or do you not understand what "underrated" means? Where have you been for the past 25 years, Jim Carrey is one of the most legendary comedic actors of all time.
That was the funniest interaction I've seen between Jim Carrey and some black guys since that part of Dumb and Dumber at the gas station where he's like "Big Gulps, huh? Cool!"
It's amazing this came up on my feed 13 years later... in living color was big when i lived in LA, and I didn't appreciate it then as i didn't really watch tv shows, but I wish i had, as still love it today.. .Also amazing to see how big Jamie Fox has become, and how good his impressions are.... I love that this kind of stuff can pop up in your feed out of now where...
