Why do people think this show is funny?



I tried to watch it several times, and my reaction was "Meh". It's about four shallow, self-centered, neurotic, irritating people, and it's not funny imho. BTW, the first time Kramer came bursting through the door gyrating wildly, it was funny. The next 500 times, not so much.

Of course I know I'm in the minority here.

I agree with you.

Thanks. That makes two of us.

I think it's funny because it makes me laugh. But I don't think there's anything quite as subjective as humor and what works for one may not work for another (abstract art maybe, but humor is up there). I was in college when a good chunk of Seinfeld aired and so many of us watched and talked about this show to the point where it was as if we were speaking our own language. I remember one Friday morning walking to class and hearing someone yell out "Is anyone here a marine biologist?", a reference to the previous night's episode and a bunch of us in the area laughed.

I've never found Woody Allen movies funny but some people would swear by them. There's just no "one size fits all" when it comes to humor.

That's why they make chocolate and vanilla (and sometimes strawberry).

I hate when strawberry ice cream has chunks of actual strawberries in it. Off topic but I had to get that off my chest.

reply


I agree. Very small chunks are okay, but I'm not a big fan of chunks in my ice cream. I'm more of a purist.

Ironically this is the exact type of conversation that would've taken place on Seinfeld lol

reply


Who ARE these people who don't like chunks in their ice cream?? What is their deal?

Yes it is, ironically.

Haha totally read it in his voice.

I totally typed it in his voice.

It was funny but not everyone has the same taste. I myself could never get into it regularly but I did see a couple episodes which weren't that bad.

reply


That's your opinion, and you're welcome to it. I still don't think it was funny. Never did, never will. That's why they make chocolate and vanilla.


😎

reply

Absolutely.

For someone who hates this show, you do a lot of yapping about it!

reply


I'm not yapping about it. I'm simply responding to questions. Get your fecal matter aggregated, pop.

It’s a Seinfeld quote. You doofus

reply


I wouldn't know it's a Seinfeld quote because I never watched the stupid show, dumb ass. What part of that do you
not understand?


😎

reply

Why are you here dumbass? Go to the ''Mad about you'' board instead.

reply


I never watched that show either, dumb ass.


😎

reply

You're a dumbass or the assman cos you posted here. If you didn't like the show...Don't be here!

Or suck it up with Seinfeld replies quotes...

reply


No, you're the dumb ass because you keep accusing me of yapping, and then throwing Seinfeld quotes at me. Anyone with even half a brain would know that I don't know any of these quotes, because I never watched the stupid show! Can you read, numb nuts? What part of that do you not understand??


😎

reply

''Yapping'' is a quote from Seinfeld, If you had the watch the show, you would know what I am taking about...But instead you took a sissy fit.

I hate the show Friends, do you see me posting there? That would be stupid or a dumb thing to do right? To discuss a tv show that I don't even liked among the fans...

You are very rude person, no sense of humor or comprehension...

reply


But I didn't watch the stupid show. What part of that do you not understand? I posted about it three months ago, and the Fantards keep bugging me about it. So I respond.

BTW, I didn't like friends either. If you don't want to post about it, fine. But that doesn't mean I can't post about it or Seinfeld. Actually the "hissy fit" was by all the Seinfeld Fantards who tried to rip me a new one because I questioned their precious little show. Screw them.

But it still sucked, because it wasn't funny!


😎

reply

What part of that do you not understand?

''I never watched the stupid show''

WHY ARE YOU HERE DISCUSSING ABOUT A SHOW, YOU KNOW NOTHING ABOUT!

reply


Calm down, pop. Don't let that Italian blood boil. I was just messin' with you.

Let me clarify. I never watched it on a regular basis. I would watch it for a few minutes while channel surfing. I would wait for it to get funny. It never did, so I would surf on. I also watched the 90 minute "End of Series Special". That was good for two or three chuckles.

BTW, Italy is a beautiful country imho. I toured it in 2010. What part of Italy do you live in?


😎

reply

What part of Italy do you live in?


Between Baxter & Mott Streets...

reply


So I'm guessing that is your humorous way of saying you live in America, right?


😎

reply

I never said I lived in Italy...Io sono Americano Italiano

reply


I never said you did. I just guessed that. Apparently I was wrong. Mama Mia!


😎

reply

In your case & your attitude with me.

Mafia Mafia!

reply


No, paisan! Not that!


😎

reply

Well thats the problem is you have a short attention span and want immediate satisfaction in humor without thinking or following a story perhaps you should watch Happy Madison films and let the adults have our shows

reply

Because we have a superior sense of humor than you

reply


Unless you're kidding, kind of arrogant there, Bos.
