If that was really was the case, no body would have responded to me 😉

You make a good point.

Disliking things such as The Office and Seinfeld can get your country invaded. Do you want that? Do you really want to be the one responsible for the invasion?

Boring and trite, I've watched episodes from both the UK and US versions and even though I work in that kind of environment and can relate to some of the humor, I just couldn't find anything that funny about it. I've been toying with maybe giving it another shot after I saw it won best comedy this year, but we'll see.

To each his own, I guess, but I think the UK Office is in the top five sitcoms, ever, and the US one has gotten really good as well (I think the first few episodes were inferior to later ones, since they tried too hard to follow the scripts of the UK shows). They're both brilliantly written, cast, and acted IMO. To enjoy them, you have to be prepared to embrace their exceptionally dry, biting sense of humor, and have the ability to enjoy some really cringe-inducing scenes. They're definitely different from any traditional American sitcom.

Not at all ironic, since i don't particularly enjoy the office 😉

:laugh: x777

That's just one more respect in which I find your tastes rather hard to relate to. I don't know that there has ever been a more universally-beloved show than The Office. That show is just brilliant IMO (and in the opinion of essentially every critic on earth). I'm really at a loss to understand how anyone with a sense of humor could fail to appreciate The Office.

*raises his hand*

I'll admit that the first episode or two wasn't that great, but it really picked up and is hilarious. I appreciate the fact that there is no laugh track and that the jokes aren't handed to you on a platter.

One of the best scense ever is when Dwight was giving his fascist acceptance speech. Or when Jim put all of Dwight's office supplies in the vending machine. 😀

Is anyone else inexplicably attracted to Kelly?

 

[iamme]

speaking off The Office (US), i'm completely captivated by the Pam and Jim connection. watching the show as a comedy, i was totally blindsided by the Season 2 finale. i'm totally geeked for season 3 to start.

Episode with "The bet"

Kramer... "I'm out!"

Putty is awesome

Priest: Often times in interfaith marriages, there is trouble between...
Elaine: Woah woah woah. Nobodies getting married here. We're just...having a good time.
Priest: Well then it's easy. You're both going to hell.
Putty: No way man, this is BOGUS!

how about when Elaine calls Putty, and they camera cuts to Putty in his apartment, just staring off into space before answering his phone :laugh:

haha, I love that. then he answers the phone: "Putty."

 

[Raduque]

When the credits rolled on the last episode.

What a crappy, useless show.

LMFAO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I think that's probably in my top 5. Him just sitting there is PRICELESS with that blank expression.

Other favorites:

Jerry at the Rental Car counter asking for his car
Jerry hanging up on the telemarketer 😛😛😀

"Mammal" (Jerry)
"Whatever. So then, from out of nowhere a huge tidal-wave lifted me, tossed me like a cork and I found myself right on top of him. Face to face with the blow-hole. I could barely see from the waves crashing down upon me, but I knew something was there. So I reached my hand in, felt around, and pulled out the obstruction!" (George) [George holds up a golf ball.]
"What, is that a titlest? A hole in one, huh?" (Kramer)

Winner by a mile IMO (and Seinfeld had some great moments.)

It wasn't an 'easy' joke like you'll see on Family Guy or a lot of other Seinfeld moments. It wasn't a funny catch-phrase. It wasn't a pop-culture reference. It wasn't the usual observational humor. It took a lot of work and build-up throughout the entire episode (which was their first major episode with a real storyline to-date) and was capped with a fantastic delivery by Jason Alexander. Outside of their best episodes 'about nothing' (The Parking Garage, The Chinese Restaurant) that's still my all-time favorite episode.

Me either. If I had to choose a favorite moment, it would be when they got thrown in jail in the final episode...HOORAY! No more Seinfeld!

"Hey everybody, look at me! I'm taking an extremely popular American phenomenon and declaring an opposite opinion on it! Aren't I cool and edgy? Who knows what I'll disagree with next!

Sorry, that's all I can hear when I see people take such an extreme dislike to something like this. We all have our opinions and all, but give me a break. Why not find another thread and go on about <insert popular actress/model> is unattractive and not up to your standards, or how much <insert legendary musician/performer> really sucked?


Maybe someone will post a "Isn't Seinfeld funny, Jessica Alba attractive, and Eric Clapton a great guitarist?" thread and you guys can hit your anti-pop trifecta! Bonus points if you can find a way to bash a Mel Brooks or Monty Python film and declare Tom Hanks to be an overrated hack in the same response. :laugh:

Reading thru these Seinfeld threads, it appears that I'm not the only "cool and edgy" ATOT'er around. You must be a republican, since you appear to be against free speech, and the right to voice one's opinions, when it runs counter to yours...
However, Clapton IS a great guitarist, J. Alba's not bad looking, Monty Python was funny as hell in the day, but Mel Brooks...meh...funny, but in a vaudvillian slapstick sort of way.

 

[Parrotheader]

Another great one (with the best guest actor scene ever IMO; he absolutely stole the entire episode with that one scene) was the dialog between Jerry and Mr. Bookman from the library:

Mr. Bookman visits Jerry (YouTube)

It's great how Kramer's voice cracks when he says "What, is that a titlest? 😀

 

[iamwiz82]

I forgot about the parking garage, at the very end, where Kramer goes to start the car and it just chugs and chugs, so he gets out, looks around, and then sits back down to try again. The other three are just rolling around laughing because of that.

I also found it highly amusing that Michael Richards was actually carrying around an air conditionerthe entire time, it wasn't an empty box.

 

[imported_Imp]

"Another game for Milosh!"

"Hey Patty, look at this at this guy, he's awful."

"Oh big baby, are you wetting yourself? Maybe it's time for you to be changed."

What an a**hat:laugh:.

 

[Kanalua]

I'M OUT!!!!

WTF? :laugh:

Yes, me telling you that Seinfeld is funny and you lack a sense of humor if you disgree is part of my master plan to tear apart the foundations of our free nation and install a totalitarianism regime in which all opinions that differ from mine must be suppressed at all costs.

Drat! Foiled by an ATOT poster! :|



But yeah, dug, we're the ones who take this stuff too seriously. :laugh:

Just reading that made me spit out my lunch laughing so hard!

 

[Al Neri]

Too many to mention here's a few good one liners:

Frank Costanza: Two weeks ago, I saw a very provocative movie on cable. It was called The Net, with that girl from The Bus

Frank Costanza: What the hell did you trade Jay Buhner for?! He had 30 home runs, over 100 RBIs last year!

Naked Guy on the Train: Speed? They got Coleman. They need a bullpen.

George: When are they gonna have the flying cars, already?

LOL, it's a GREAT moment. My roommates and I watch Seinfeld RELIGIOUSLY everyday on TBS at 6:00PM. We all burst into laughter at that part. There are TONS of funny moments in Seinfeld, but that is one of the few that actually makes me laugh out loud 😀😀😛

 

[Lola]

Who leaves a country packed with ponies to come to a non-pony country??

 

[redgtxdi]

I'd have to ditto the remarks of others..............Waaaaaaaaaaaaaay too many good scenes!! Waaaaaaaaaaay, waaaaaaaaay too many!!



Kra-merica corporation comes to mind!! ROTFLMAO!!!

 

[cKGunslinger]

I think when the old lady that Jerry stole the bread from like 2 seasons earlier shows up and votes his dad off that committee or whatever after remembering the incident ranks up there as well. I think that was the Cadillac episode.

 

[Don Vito Corleone]

The scene that keeps popping into my mind is from the "Hello!" episode, when Jerry is trying to decide between keeping his beautiful girlfriend and doing that dumb "Hello!" voice. Jerry is walking on the seashore to the tune of "Hello" by Lionel Richie ("Hello . . . is it me you're looking for?") and runs through a flock of pigeons. That always slays me.
