That vacant Puddy stare is so great. There were scenes where he'd just be sitting on the couch in his apartment staring at nothing until the phone rings.
That scene is especially funny because it was accidental. The camera started rolling early and Patrick Warburton was going over his lines in his head before it's action in 5 seconds. That's literally his concentration face!
Her laugh is just so infectious that I suddenly realise that I'm laughing out loud to myself just seeing her laugh. Michael Richards never seems too impressed though.
Yep. My aunt lives in the neighborhood where he lived in nyc and apparently he never felt the need to go live in a wealthy area- a very down-to-earth person- whole family seems like that. I loved him in King of Queens.. omg. 😆
@@witteney3334 I love it when Kramer is trying to install a garbage disposal in his shower and he calls Puddy for help. He’s literally just sitting on the couch doing absolutely nothing with a blank stare on his face.
I once dumped a GF because she HATED, Seinfeld. And would get upset at my efforts to make her love it too. So, she had to go. It was a shame, cause she was 18yrs younger (I'm 59) andxshe was damn cute. But she CLEARLY had a brain that wasn't working
In Julia Louis-Dreyfus' defense, I don't know how anyone could share a stage with John O'Hurley playing Peterman or Jerry Stiller playing Frank Costanza and _NOT_ laugh constantly.
I've always thought it's a damn wonder we got 9 seasons out of these the outstanding cast, because you can tell in the scenes that made it to broadcast, how hard the cast had to work to keep in character so often. Great show, it's a national treasure, and I hope it is never lost or forgotten. ❤️
If the entire cast is cracking up and having a hard time getting through the scenes, you know it's killer material. One of the greatest situation comedies of all time.
Absolutely worthy of respect, but imagine if you are a tv actor shooting scripts out of sequence with new ones coming every week. Its a pretty tough job. "Okay, Mariska, in this scene you're staring at a senior citizen hanging by his ankles and dressed like Emo Phillips. Okay, thats a wrap! Everybody put on your coats. We're shooting at the Brooklyn naval yards" "What about Emo?" "Who?"
Completely different. They do so much rehearsing before a play opens that they get all of it out of their system and it's a well oiled machine. What you're seeing here is essentially the TV cast's rehearsal filmed.
@@mikewilder6390 actually, I would say the credit goes to the casting directors of 'Seinfeld'. Yes, Larry and Jerry would have authority and likely final say on who gets hired etc. but it is the casting directors who found the actors, actresses for the supporting cast
@@Etobeeshawn Jerry and Larry choose who gets on the show. Whomever asks them to come in and audition have no say in who gets picked. When you invite and audition everyone possible, as was the case with the George character, the "Credit" goes to whomever says, "Your hired." I've seen every documentary on the show and I know an unhealthy amount about Seinfeld. Lol. Plus Jerry Seinfeld is the casting director.
The great thing about watching her laugh is that you know it's partly because she's not supposed to laugh, like in school or church. And once it's got her hooked she can't stop thinking about it, great fun to watch.
It was actually cos of nervous exhaustion, she explains it on one of the DVD commentaries, if they shot late around 8 or 9pm then she'd get fatigued and off she'd go which is when these out takes are from, during a day shoot she was fine.
She was usually high from hitting the jackpot that saved her career and made her amulti-millionaire, that and smoking all the weed. Most of these scenes are the end of the episode.
Laughing is addictive. When my friend or my daughter-in-law starts to laugh my stomach hurts so much and we all tear up!❤❤nothing better than laughing ir music to soothe the soul.
The set builder said they contacted the Merv Griffin people and were told none of the old set was kept but they supplied pictures to go by...damn impressive that they thought it up, wrote it then built in....one of my favorites. Where are the cameras?
Julia is quite well known for her giggle fits. She did the same thing in Pixar's A Bug's Life and they turned her giggle into one of the outtake animations in the credits.
It could get annoying to the fellow actors that would like to eventually get the scene done. Laughing sometimes is one thing, but a constant case of the giggles is kind of unprofessional.
Stormshear1? I Agree! Nothing like getting out of bed in the morning and love to go to work with great friends and you never know what's going to happen that will cracks you up each day! I'd go home with a bad headache by the end of the day from laughing so much throughout the day! :)
Julia is such a delightful giggle-box I don’t know how she could survive the delivery tone from the man on the 1st scene take (don’t even know his name). His delivery and tone is perfection. Her stomach must have hurt at times doing these takes. I couldn’t believe she almost made it thru w/Stiller’s delivery of ‘what the hell does that mean?’ and ‘You sayin you want a piece of me!’. Losing it to ‘I think you’re a fox’ just knowing herself plus looking the way they had her in the scene, you had to know she would lose it. Watching her laugh is soothing and refreshing.
Yeh John's delivery was comedically perfect, he could've read a phone book and made it funny, he was like Rowan Atkinson, knew which syllables to emphasise in the words and that's the key for comedic delivery to me.
@@DizzyDez613 it doesn't hold up well it's really dictatorial and new york jewey. at every one of their problems i'm always thinking, "who cares?" it's just really whiney
Honestly as much as I love Seinfeld - and I do - some of these are actually funnier than the scene as intended. I've always thought it's a sign of good writing in comedy when your own actors can barely keep a straight face through their own material.
The bit with Jerry Stiller 'you want a piece of me' cracks me up every time. I continue to appreciate the quality of Seinfeld from the guest actors to the classic comedic lines. "It`s gold Jerry...gold"!
sometimes when you start laughing like that you really cannot stop. I mean it doesn't happen very often, and when it does it's such a shock to the brain. I've laughed like that a few times and started crying immediately thereafter!so weird!
Puddy, Peterman, Newman and Frank Costanza. They all added so much to that show and it would be almost impossible to NOT break character around Jerry Stiller.
I don’t understand how anyone could be there and not laugh. The fact that they were able to get through any scene with Ohurley and Jerry Stiller is beyond me.
