Move. You don't need to live a meaningless existence like that. Find people who deserve you!

If only life was so simple 😂

Haha. Seinfeld is my marker as to whether someone will be a funny friend. My brother has moved into a rural area, and we both really miss having people to quote with. Many of our conversations can be made up of mostly Seinfeld quotes. I even wrote a speech for his wedding that was almost completely Seinfeldisms... Those who knew Seinfeld really appreciated it.

[–] NotoriousGIB (105) 8 years ago

Wow, you are/were living the dream my friend. I have to make quotes to myself.
I'm often to be heard saying "RealName is getting upset!!"

I would like to hear that wedding speech!

[–] SeinfeldFriend (42) 8 years ago

I'll see if I can find it

I remember it having more Seinfeldisms in it...I think I possibly went rogue and added more. I've taken out the other bits of the speech that didn't have any Seinfeld quotes in there...
During that time, we were lucky enough to see the relationship with Cat blossom. Jason and I spent many a night, watching Seinfeld, adding to our quoting repertoire. It was during this time, that I came to realise, there was a shift in the worlds….There was a distinct possibility that Jason would marry this girl…and what would happen to Independent Jason? Because, Cat was infiltrating his world. Everyone that knew Jason, fell in love with Cat too. If George Costanza had taught us anything….The worlds were about to blow up! Luckily, Cat was very accepting of our families constant Seinfeldisms, so Independent Jason was able to live alongside Relationship Jason. Just as Independent Cat is able to live alongside Relationship Cat.

From now on Jason, you can start your sentences with 'My Wife'. It's a great way to begin a sentence, 'My wife this, my wife that'.... 'My wife has an inner ear infection'.

They are two of the best people I know, and I think everyone will agree, we are so glad that the worlds collided.

You're kidding. Are your friends all Millennials? That's the only reason I can think of none of them have ever seen it, with a handful of exceptions of people who don't watch TV in general.

It is sad, and people are not only not understandable, but they're the worst. (Except for those who aren't.)

reply

[–] NotoriousGIB (105) 8 years ago

None of them are, I'm 35. Alas they're all British, which is the main reason. They would rather watch our depressing soaps.

reply

[–] Catbookss (13664) 8 years ago

Ah well, if they're all fellow Brits, that makes sense, seeing as it was perhaps a particularly American show. You have depressing soaps there? I've only watched a very little of the soaps here and while they're not depressing (that I can remember), they are … not worth watching, IMO. Bad scripts, bad acting, etc.

did you tell them its a show about nothing?

[–] Catbookss (13664) 8 years ago

:D

Yes, yes it is.

I'll never understand why Brits loved Friends but rarely watched Seinfeld.

reply

[–] NotoriousGIB (105) 7 years ago

I think it's because there's something in something in Friends for everyone, a bit more relatable. Plus it was highly advertised here and had a good timeslot. Seinfeld was pushed to late nights on less popular channels and had to compete with big British shows.
Also most folks fancied at least one of the Friends. Though I never saw the attraction to any of the guys.

Because Brits are fancy boys

Do they have European carry-ons and fur coats?

[–] NotoriousGIB (105) 8 years ago

The soaps here are truly awful. Nothing but shouting, murders, baby stealing, cheating, horrendous BS. They can't even drape them in glamour like the US do. There is nothing glamorous about run down old British terraced streets. Look up Eastenders, Coronation Street or Emmerdale. You'll see what I mean.

None of them are, I'm 35.

"The majority of researchers and demographers start the generation in the early 1980s, with many ending the generation in the mid-1990s. Australia's McCrindle Research[28] regards 1980–1994 as Generation Y birth years. A 2013 PricewaterhouseCoopers[29] report and Edelman Berland[30] use 1980–1995. Gallup Inc.,[31][32][33] Eventbrite[34][35] and Dale Carnegie Training and MSW Research[36] all use 1980–1996. Ernst and Young uses 1981–1996.[37] Manpower Group uses 1982–1996.[38]"

You were born in 1981 or 1982, depending on whether or not you've had your birthday yet this year. Either way, according to most definitions, you're a Millennial.

[–] NotoriousGIB (105) 7 years ago

Just saw this. I've always thought I was Generation Y. I never heard the term Millennials until the last few years. I feel that people close to my age are the last generation who remember life pre-internet and aren't as 'fragile' as the snowflakes of the following generations. Idk, Im rambling typing this secretly under my desk at work.

>I've always thought I was Generation Y.

"Millennial" is just another name for Generation Y. I'm Generation X (born in '75).

It's been that long. My brother's kids, and all their friends, they've never seen the show. It may as well be the Honeymooners to them.

I tried watching it, but found it unfunny, and irritating. BUMP.

Funny, when Seinfeld was on, I never watched it.
For years and years I just was not interested.
My cousin and aunt loved this show and used to base most of their humor on it,
which I did not get.
Then it was free on Hulu, so I figured, why not. I speed watched it and enjoyed it a lot.
It is very good. Some more than others, but it does kind of age and it is
a kind of yuppie white appealing show.

You are not black are you. I can see black people being uninterested in it.

reply

[–] NotoriousGIB (105) 7 years ago

I was quite young when it was on but I used to watch a few late night repeats in my early teens. I didn't see what all the fuss was about but I think I was just too young to understand the humour.
It wasn't until I was about 30 that I watched it again. What a wasted life I'd led up until the point :D

No I'm white-ish. I don't know any black people but I can maybe see how they wouldn't.

Nearly everybody I know has seen a few episodes. At least enough to know if they are enamored with it or annoyed by it.
