Why did the Naz demand $3 for George's bread the first time? When others got theirs for free? This was never explained. Just the luck of the Can't Stand Ya?
There's a fish and chip fast food place in Howth, Ireland that is basically ran like the soup Nazi's place. You don't quite get shouted at the same way, but if you do take your time, or show doubt ordering you get really dirty looks from the staff, raised bossy voices and they'll even skip you, and it is a really militantly ordered queue. Also the fish and chips are amazing!
You're so right! Having been an extra a few times, I know that many extras hope that they'll be asked to do five lines or less to help further their career because more often than not, being an extra sucks. Good for her!
@@BeSkeptical851 The last time that I did anything was a Domino's Pizza commercial in 1996, so I'm seriously out of the loop on SAG and acting as I never was a SAG member albeit I'd like to be one now as I'd like to return to acting, so I can't answer your question as I don't know what changes have occurred in the industry since 1996 other than the merger of SAG and AFTRA, but I'd like to know myself. Good question, thanks.
2:57 what a great piece of trivia about Marcia! They look so perfect together, I always assumed that heir similar look had been made on purpose. Little did she know when she showed up to work that morning that she’d become arguably the most famous extra in TV history!
Dan C I never even considered the possibility that she might only be an extra! I always assumed she was someone I would see if I saw the right broadway play!!!
Larry Thomas' portrait of the Soup Nazi was 100% out of character - which further goes to show how great he was in the role. He is a warm, wonderful natured guy who deserves all good things he has gotten for being the Soup Nazi! I'm a big fan.
@@vince7735 YOU might not, because you know what? We all don't share the same sense of humor. You can take the funniest thing you know and there will be a lot of people who don't like it. So, I'm sure in the future a lot, or some people will still enjoy this comedy bit. We are not all the same. Most people I personally know don't have the same taste in movies, comedy, food, etc as me.
This guy is so sweet! He was here locally a few years ago as the Soup Nazi selling soup in our grocery stores. I got him to say "no soup for you!" on video for my dad. :D
Hey rob commie, that's quite a pathetically obvious observation. This actor is busting a nut as he tries to contain his duping delight. Probably better for comedy...but not at all convincing as a man fed up with your sh*t and your Weimar Republic outrage.
Just love too in the finale, where Poppy does the salt shaker gesture to him, and he wags the finger and says... let me guess. And quickly removes the soup bowl. And spoon. Interesting that Jerry and Larry didn't think we should hear the line out loud. But just as funny.
My wife and I are always breaking each other up pretending to be mad at each other. She’ll serve some fantastic dinner and I’ll pretend to be outraged by some little thing while we sit down to to enjoy it. Then I run out of lines to say and she bursts out laughing at the top of her lungs. It’s an ongoing gag we have. The more dramatic I get (and then stumble and lose character) the louder she laughs. The neighbours must think we’re nuts.
What a precious, gentle man you are, Larry! You are just the VERY OPPOSITE of the character you portrayed in that episode! I am HONORED to have witnessed your acting talents! God Bless you, and THANKS!
Nice memories .. been watching seinfeld since the 90's and still am .. I'm in my mid 40's .. when I watched the final episode in '98 I was 23 years old a college student in LA !
Never met Larry, but I met Megan Cole - Peggy the germaphobe. She came in the store I worked at in Seattle. I kept looking at her, thinking, "where do I know this woman from?" Curiosity got the best of me and I asked where I knew her from and she said, "You ever watch Seinfeld?" She was the same way, down to earth and really fun to talk to.
I've met him twice. Once at a friend's cafe about three years ago where he was serving soup, I got a photo with him and then a year later at a convention where he had photographs and ladles that he signed. I bought his photo with autograph. Have it framed. Really top notch kinda guy.
@@revolution1one I had to read that part of the photographs 3 times. I kept reading "ladies" instead of "ladles" and it didn't make any sense. LOL. I might have to get my eyes checked. I'd loved to meet him, especially after this video. He seems like a great guy.
This was so delightful. I just bought 2 of your books. My two sons and I were such fans of "Seinfeld".... and YOU...were such an integral part of the legacy. Thank you so much.
ikr? everything on TV and even the internet revolves around shock value or disturbing storylines that are only disturbing for the sake of being disturbing.
Here in my neighborhood , in Mexico City, we have our own Soup Nazi!. Phisically, he Is like a mexican version of Raymond Burr. You actually have to wait until he is ready to take your order. Sometimes he refuses to give you the kind of sausage (salsa) you want, and specially, he is reluctant to sale extra orders of sausage to go. Those facts make funnier this episode for me. 😂😂😂
Larry, the soup nazi will FOREVER be a part of Americana. The character is original, unforgettable and hilarious. I can't count the number of times I have used the "No soup for you" line and got laughs. It is without fail attributed to your character and appreciated. It will be forever remembered and imitated. Thank you for the laughs.👏👏👏
Many years ago Larry Thomas came up to Vancouver to do a charity soup kitchen as the Soup Nazi. I was so lucky to be the cameraman assigned to cover it for the news. I met Larry and he was the calmest kindest person, just like he appears in this video. I was allowed to cover all the same camera angles that they used in the original episode. Even a POV shot walking up to him and being denied soup. There was a huge lineup of people also having the times of their lives. It was so much fun.
Everytime I watch that episode of Seinfeld my life is just a little bit happier or less sad whatever applies at such time. Thank you so much Mr. Larry Thomas. All best to you and all those that you love.
I spent some time with the founder of the Original Soup Man, Al Yeganeh. Larry Thomas' character does Al justice, and Larry seems like a very good man who appreciates his fortune in life. I asked an employee of Al's once what nationality Al was. His response was, "We're afraid to ask."
I remember when my mom encouraged me to watch Seinfeld, but I didn't get it at first. After watching the third episode I was hooked. I can't think of many story lines that topped the story with Mr. Soup Nazi.
A bit of a quasi off topic post. Throughout my life, I've never been a terribly adventurous eater. If something sounded weird or exotic, I would always look for more conventional fare. A few years ago, I went into a restaurant, and one of the soups on the chalk board was mulligatawny. Well, because of the Soup Nazi episode, I just had to give it a go. SURPRISE !!! It was delicious, and now I make a point of driving the 45 minutes to that eatery every few weeks for a bowl . . . all thanks to Jerry, Larry, and Larry.
"I had no idea the life I had was gone forever. Not a moment goes by in my life that it doesn't have something to do with having been the Soup Nazi. An hour goes by and something happens where that takes over my life again." Such a testament to what a truly wonderful show Seinfeld was. So grateful to have had been able to look forward to the new episodes each week. It was the supporting cast such as this man that gave the show it's legs for so so many years 👏👏👏
Sir you are a comedy icon & an inspiration to everyone who works a job dealing w/ the public. I manage a Trader Joes & ppl get too aggressive as ppl tend to - "NO GROCERIES FOR YOU!" Thank you & Larry David for the creation of the best side character on the show
I met him! He was signing autographs at WonderCon. He had plastic soup ladles and pictures of himself as the blackjack dealer in AUSTIN POWERS. We had a long, lengthy, pleasant conversation. I didn't ask him to say "NO SOUP FOR YOU!" because I imagined he was sick of that. But he said everyone--even his mother asks him to do that. I still wish him luck and hope he'll be known as more than the Soup Nazi.
I met Larry Thomas once. he was doing photos & autographs at a baseball game. he was a really nice guy, but in hindsight I've always kinda wished I'd did something wrong, and he yelled, "no photos for you!!!" LOL
I've been watching Seinfeld for over 18 years now and I'm only 25.... Every last episode is quotable. I remember being in school and every kid there could quote lines. Me: You can't spare one square. Classmate: I don't have a square to spare. It was awesome.
I loved when Larry was a guest on "Scrubs" and "Zach" kept trying to get him to say, "No Soup for you." but he kept on refusing to. Then Zach "Coerced" him into saying it. 😊😊
His one of my favorite actors in the sienfeld sitcom his episode was him all him and I love it I think it wouldn't came out good if somebody else did the soup Natzi
Great interview but I think what the show was about in the end was how the most mundane parts of life can be blown out of proportion in a most halirious way. I'm also glad he's back to saying "no soup for you" 😊
Eight years ago, my girlfriend and I were on the Amtrack from New York to Boston and the I'm sure the guy working the canteen on the train, was the railways version of the soup nazi. Everyone in the carriage came back and they all looked the same...they all looked scared!
I lived behind the iron curtain during the Cold War and this was the type of service you could expect as a customer. Plus the famous lines in a shop: We don’t have that today and we won’t get it in the future either.
I met him at Wondercom. Got his autograph on a plastic soup ladle. We had a nice long conversation. Talked about his career and that of others. I told him I had noticed him on SEINFELD as well as AUSTIN POWERS and SCRUBS. He appreciated I had noticed that he was around. He told me personally that SCRUBS creator Bill Lawrence was in the audience when they shot his very first episode of SEINFELD.
Has there ever really been a sitcom that has held a candle to Seinfeld? The writing and execution of each episode was impeccable and this episode was no exception. They all hold up to time perfectly.
