[Applause]
0:27
all right welcome to the worst of the best podcasts I am your host Ryan with
0:33
me as always the worst the best podcast is my brother ribbon ribbon hey now I'm
0:42
very excited about this episode for several reasons sure number one why would I not do an
0:48
episode that we don't want to do so far I don't think we've done anything we don't want to do but some things of
0:53
course have provided us more entertainment and joy than other things so there were the worth one was the
0:59
dollar on point what we thought wasn't a funny and then with oh this is the person and it wasn't a political thing
1:06
it was just yeah if you want to go back and listen to one of our most pressing episodes the Trump episode was quite depressing yeah I'm a huge Seinfeld fan
1:14
sometimes I'll tell people that the way somebody is with Star Trek you know being a Trekkie I feel that way that
1:21
kinship towards the Seinfeld TV show in
1:28
a week's time I'll be seeing Jerry Seinfeld I didn't know that ribbon you're seeing Seinfeld in the concert
1:33
comedy yeah yeah yeah what yeah where I think is the queenie third row how much
1:39
does that ticket you work hard he can't even buy a ticket now was it a guy I could google it well I forget all right
1:46
guess a good one it I forget what I'm seeing Gary's handle by yourself or no
1:51
taking my wife wonderful yeah that's really exciting you never told me that I guess you never talk anymore I think
1:57
I've got the tickets when you were at sea you haven't now on yeah this isn't a
2:02
new thing if you're gonna get a good ticket good you know right away right away no I know I don't care if he's not funny
2:09
he'll be funny I just want to be in the same room as the person has provided me
2:15
more laughter than anybody else I'm jealous not I'm envious I don't want the word is I'm really happy for you but
2:21
boy I wish I I wish I could go what's the date Friday this Friday right at
2:26
night Wow so this episode will be out just before you get there yes exciting so 9:30 p.m.
2:31
show he's paying three nights to Vancouver a three shows Thursday and then two shows and partay
2:37
pretty well sold out I don't know I don't know probably all right well close
2:42
to so for this episode we decided we're gonna review every single episode of
2:48
every single safe nexus for our first time listeners the premise of the show
2:54
is Ruben and I don't pick that which is the best we pick that which is the worst from that best and so when it comes to
3:00
television I think this is our first time doing a television series yeah I think so that's right but what we've done in the
3:07
past for the same album sales or take a sales for a box office that's how the
3:13
public has determined what is the best by them showing up and so that's what we
3:19
did for Seinfeld is we didn't pick we just had to find out which one was what was the number one watched episode per
3:27
season the original air date so for whatever reason so out of all those most watched each season we're gonna say
3:34
which one's the worst most watch that's right absolutely yeah I think there's about 10 or 11 episodes was there was a
3:39
couple ties but yeah so for whatever reason it only nine episodes of nine seasons no but I think there's actually
3:46
a season 8 or 7 had a tie per million viewers oh I see yeah I just
3:51
they just yeah the public for whatever reason decided on each up each season they just watch more that day it's weird
3:58
how that happens they yeah now we could have decided and say what do we do the most best reviewed episodes but then
4:05
that doesn't really count because it's just it's whoever is designed to write in and review it and give it a rating
4:12
yeah so I'm gonna go with no for whatever reason this episode was watched the most that season so the for the
4:18
short season season one the most-watched episode was actually the second episode called the stakeout now my theory for
4:25
all sequels is the first one's gotta be good enough to have word of mouth it has
4:31
more than a second so if there's a dip in sales or a different audience is because the previous one didn't satisfy
4:38
people probably what happens the first episode came out people like hey just checking out it's kind of funny and then more people joined the yeah
4:44
second one it was until after season before did they find their footing and find their audience
4:49
before years four seasons to do that and we know this show was in syndication all over the world it's been watched
4:54
millions of times so the second episode is called the stakeout on the first season it aired
5:02
May 31st 1990 and the episode was written by Jerry Santos I felt and Larry
5:08
David and directed by Tom sure owns the narrative here features Jerry Seinfeld agreed to attend a birthday party with
5:14
his ex-girlfriend Elaine and during the party Jerry tries to flirt with another woman but fails to learn anything about
5:20
her except her place of work and Jerry is reluctant to ask Elaine for the woman's number because he does not talk
5:27
to her about other woman also Jerry's father Morty suggests that he stake out
5:33
the woman's workplace and pretend to meet her accidentally which Jerry does the stakeout is the first episode of
5:39
future Jerry's parents as we know a little bit history here it was a different actor playing the dad yes yes
5:44
Phil Burns what I love about this is we already see an early into an early
5:51
storyline that carries all the way to the finale what does she look like I don't know hard to say
5:58
what actress does she remind you of Loni Anderson Loni Anderson
6:05
what does something wrong with Loni an Edison thanks again for running over here appreciate oh yes I was showing a
6:12

8:32
he's an importer import and exporter he's an importer exporter I'm an
8:41
architect it's hilarious by the way first of all I
8:48
love this episode like the nuances of like I shouldn't know what's in that
8:55
word but just like the social thing where it's like Jerry not wanting to ask Elena about this girl because he is
9:02
awkwardness just to avoid that no no is capture just captures how people are and
9:09
so we see here Jerry and George waited in the lobby to bump to quote uncle bump into this girl that
9:15
he met at the party and George sauce making up his own I was on backstory
9:21
yeah that he's an architect yes for vandal industries yes I his names are
9:27
Vandelay or something like that I have a family a t-shirt that's awesome yeah season two route season two the
9:35
most-watched episode of season two we should say the number of such this is amazing it's crazy these were considered a
9:42
failure at the time but the first episode women of season one drew in
9:47
fifteen and a half million viewers that's crazy and today that is gold
9:53
that's like that's bigger than like the Big Bang Theory yeah yes that's more popping The Big Bang Theory and back
9:58
then this was like on the cusp of being cancelled crazy season 2 episode 5 the
10:04
apartment had the most viewers of that season with twenty four point seven million viewers which is so weird that
10:11
that episode has so many the week previous was only thirteen million so I guess word of mouth was building
10:17
the apartment is the fifth episode of the second season in this episode Jerry
10:22
gets his ex girlfriend Elaine an apartment above his but regrets this
10:27
after realizing that might be uncomfortable living so close together meanwhile Jerry's friend George wears a
10:34
wedding ring to a party to see what effect this will have yeah do you want
10:42
to save at this episode what other things I loved about this episode is Jerry doesn't want to rent have lame
10:48
renting there there's gonna be a deposit that needs to be done yep and Lane
10:54
doesn't have the money and then Kramer comes in I love that for long ya know someone
11:00
offered Harold and Manny 5000 for the apartment I'm sure they'd just as soon
11:06
give it to you but you would have to come up with that money $5,000 I have
11:13
$5,000 I know I have no idea my new
11:23
neighbor I'm not moving in why they want $5,000 now so okay what's the problem I
11:33
don't have $5,000 come on you come up with $5,000 Jerry you don't have $5,000
11:41
you can lend her yeah well I didn't I
11:46
mean is that something you want to borrow no that's too much money to
11:51
borrow loan her the money you can afford it she doesn't wanna borrow the money come
11:58
on so pay your back what's five grand between friends of course I pay it back
12:03
yeah so what's the problem who said there's a profit
12:09
Jerry it might take a while for you to pay you back you know maybe a few years how do you feel about okay he doesn't
12:17
care you know money and sometimes come
12:23
between friends get out of here think about what's there to think about no I don't know five thousand let me
12:31
just take one more look at it
12:43
taking care of done finished five thousand where's she gonna get my husband she there's a half five thousand
12:49
clean good she's gone come in money under the five thousand what do you care
12:55
you got five thousand you didn't wander in the building oh I didn't well then
13:02
what did you longer the five thousand dollars maybe she won't take it I mean
13:09
she did say that she was gonna think about it people don't turn down money it's what separates us from the animals
13:15
I still don't understand what the problem is having her in the building let me explain something you see you're
13:26
not normal guy I love you but you're a
13:31
pawn I on the other hand I'm a human being I sometimes feel awkward uncomfortable
13:37
even inhibited in certain situations with the other human beings you wouldn't
13:42
understand as I'm a pod
13:53
and Kramer said Oh Jerry it's good for cuz Jerry just picked an arbitrary
13:58
number that somebody else offered for five thousand for the apartment they won't give it to Lena unless she can match it grab so funny stuff so you
14:05
watch all them so it's gonna get I didn't do it though yeah I did so the most-watched episode now season
14:12
three is episode 21 I love the letter the letter one things I'd like people to
14:19
show is this is why I'm kind of drawing a blank there's so many plots going on at the
14:24
same time if you know if you're watching tears to be like Sam alone is trying to you know chase some girl and then
14:31
there's some little quips in there you know yeah is that really an in-depth show but this will have four plots going
14:37
but somehow they interconnect and they look the letter really does that yeah
14:43
and I would say it's now season three things are starting to pick up down the show where they have literally five
14:49
storylines going on in a 22 minute period it's amazing we should sit sorry
14:54
for the writer for season 2 episode was Peter Malcolm
14:59
he wrote that episode okay for season three Larry David Larry David wrote the
15:04
letter love Larry David this episode a twenty two point three million viewers really yes amazing Kramer poses for a
15:13
portrait to be painted by Jerry's new girlfriend Nina played by Catherine Keener and I love this scene which an
15:19
elderly aren't loving a couple admire I
15:26
sense great vulnerability a man-child crying out for love an innocent orphan
15:33
in the postmodern world I see a parasite a sexually depraved
15:42
miscreant who is seeking only to gratify his bassist and most immediate urges
15:49
rowdy and unattractive yet I detect a nobility of attitude and unwavering
15:58
loyalty much like the Saint Bernard but of the eyes he's a creature barely
16:05
hanging on to existence like a cockroach clinging to a sewer grate
16:11
Huggle his man's struggle he lifts my spirit he has a loathsome offensive
16:18
Bruce yet I can't look away in time and space he sickens me
16:30
I love it me too
16:35
we've made our decision we want the Kramer are we too late
16:42
no no it's $5,000 who would want Kramer
16:52
in their house all the time would you have any idea how we might get in touch
16:59
with him you're in luck I'm one of the few people that knows how to contact him George feels of course
17:06
obligated to buy something when he accompanies Jay didn't eat his art studio especially in which the office George her father's tickets to the
17:13
owners box at Yankee Stadium the George said it would likely purchase a $500 painting where she tries to sell it to
17:20
Jerry for $10 at the end of the episode no they go to that baseball game
17:26
yeah and Elaine will take off the baseball hat season for the outing the
17:31
pilot so yeah is it really yeah so season four now we're looking into 30
17:36
million driven this is the first seven this is the first episode of Seinfeld to
17:42
reach the 30 million mark 30 2.8 million viewers tuned in to the season finale of
17:49
season 4 called the pilot there and this was written again by mr. Larry David this is a great
17:57
episode it's a two-parter but it counts as one episodes - it's our finale Parwan
18:02
deals with Jerry George to get the green light to produce the show Jerry the pilot of the series based on their
18:07
nothing lives I'll pay away I hated about this episode is how much I could relate to George
18:13
this oh yes yes George is obsessed with the potentially cancerous white spot in
18:20
his lift that that's a great little subplot there yeah well yeah you wanted the biopsy and by the way if anyone's a
18:25
star show I'm cancer I have no cancer the tests came back negative that's great I think we mentioned that
18:31
one of our episodes I think was during the worst the best yeah the cancer is a cancer yeah yeah
18:36
so for tens and tens listeners who are waiting on pins and needles for my health response attend
18:41
I think we have tens Wow part two the rehearsals begin of for the pilot it's
18:47
great I love the the Kramer's that come in I know Kramer himself tries to come into play himself but it gets the poops
18:53
which happened in real life by the way by him the character that Kramer is
18:59
based upon yeah he's real is real he tried to try out for Kramer I knew he
19:09
wanted to be in the show and that's and that's what's happened here as Kramer wants to be in Jerry's show sure yeah my
19:14
life season 5 season 5 had a tie for the most watched show the stall and the
19:20
marine biology very square spare a square excuse me I'm sorry
19:27
this uh this is kind of embarrassing but there's no toilet paper over here are
19:35
you talking to me yeah I just forgot to check so if you can spare some no I'm sorry no I'm sorry
19:44
I can't spare it you can't spare it no there's not enough to spare look why
19:49
don't we must just three squares we'll do it three squares now if you don't mind three squares you can't spare three
19:57
square no I don't have a square to spare oh I can't spare a square to plunge because if it's two-ply I'll
20:05
take one fun what puny little quiet ake one Beasley
20:10
look I don't never square stall was
20:17
episode 12 of season 5 in this episode in the movie theater breast room Alain
20:23
realizing her stall does not have any toilet paper asked the woman in the next stall to give her some the woman refuses
20:29
claiming she can't spare a square and Elaine's continued please a little bit storms out and returns to her seat and
20:35
and is revealed as Jerry's girlfriend Jane Elaine returns to her seat with her
20:41
boyfriend Tony and the two woman event about the stall incident to their dates this is the episode also where George is
20:47
accused of being in love with Tony Elaine's boyfriend yeah I love that this
20:53
is an ongoing kind of like sub subplot Seinfeld aboard George George's
20:58
basically at these game Betty well then he has inclinations that he might be that way
21:03
and how his old friend Skye teased him about it rock climbing going rock
21:13
climbing rock climbing you need a boost to climb into your bed
21:19
[Music] yeah what is it with you and Tony what are you it's like a sidekick now yeah
21:25
that's right I like it he's such a cool guy cool guy what are

you an eighth grade he's the first cool guy I've ever been friends with in my whole life yeah it's a different world when you're
21:38
with a cool guy he's not afraid of anybody she do the way he talks to waitresses he gets free pie hey nice
21:48
move today why Horning in on my rock climbing trip it's just supposed to be me and Tony he
21:54
asked me you put him on the spot now I think that you're in love with him
22:01
[Applause] what that's ridiculous
22:08

22:17
you better be careful on those rocks tomorrow buddy oh you so insecure a
22:26
little bit dated adult line phone sex lines that's a little bit dated nowadays
22:31
but that's Kramer subplot there because he talks to what we think is Jerry's
22:38
girlfriend on as a night caller on the phone Jane this is my neighbor Kramer
22:45
Hey hello Kramer
22:53
[Applause] hello Jane Jerris told me so much about

23:51
your head is spinning like a top you can't be what is your entire world just
23:58
crashing down and she is yeah did bringing biologists
24:04
is the next episode yeah so tied for season 5 was the marine biologist which
24:10
came old the both episodes by the way came at 35 million viewers almost back to back I'm telling you right now we're
24:17
gonna marine biologists in no way shape or form could ever be picked as the worst okay yeah it's just impossible
24:22
it's just impossible I'm not revealing my pick just yet I may or may not have talked about it but I'm
24:28
telling right now spoiler alert the marine biologists it just makes you laugh every time save the whale George
24:36
so I started to walk into the water I won't lie to you boys I was terrified my
24:43
breasts on and as I made my way past the breakers a strange column came over me I I don't
24:49
know if it was divine intervention of the kinship of all living things but I tell you Jerry at that moment I was a
24:55
marine biologist George I've just been reading this thing in the paper it's
25:02
unbelievable and I was just telling the story well come on George finish the story the sea was angry that day my
25:08
friends like an old man trying to send back soup
25:14
in a deli
25:21
I got about 50 feet out and suddenly the great beast appeared before me I tell
25:28
you he was 10 stories high if he was afoot as if sensing my presence he let
25:33
out a great bellow I said easy big fella and then as I watched him struggling I
25:41
realized that something was obstructing its breathing from where I was standing I could see directly into the eye of the
25:47
great fish now whatever what did you do next then from out of nowhere a huge
25:55
tidal wave lifted me tossed me like a cork and I found myself right on top of him face to face with the blowhole I
26:02
could barely see from the waves crashing down upon me but I knew something was there so I reached my hand dipper tucked
26:10
around and pulled out the obstruction for the crowd must have gone wild oh yes yes yes Jerry they were all over me
26:19
it was like Rocky one Diane came up to
26:24
me threw her arms around me kissing you
26:29
both had tears streaming down our faces I never saw anyone so beautiful it was
26:38
at that moment that I decided to tell her that I was not a marine biologist
26:44
what'd you say don't me to go to hell and I took the bus home
26:52
it's gold it's gold Jerri gold more what is it good for we have got you in a very
27:00
nice hotel I I don't know how you like to work but I can arrange for an office
27:05
if you like Hotel he's better away from petty bickering and interference you
27:14
know Tolstoy I used to write in the village square the faces inspired him he
27:19
did not need inspiration God spoke through his pen that is so true
27:28
although one wonders if Warren peace would have been as highly acclaimed as
27:33
it was had it been published under its original title war what is it good for
27:38
yeah mr. Lippman it was his mistress who insisted that he called war in peace in
27:45
war what is a good for absolutely nothing no sense of humor that really is
27:59
true no it's not season six the swish even more episodes
28:06
in the previous seasons now if you can believe it thirty six point six million viewers I thought to myself when I first saw them this episode and I was about
28:13
ten minutes into it or seven minutes into it and I've seen to myself why would why did this one for the eleventh
28:20
episode of season six why didn't have so many viewers and I remember now why was that because it's in this one that
28:27
Kramer's name is revealed and this was high class yeah this was hiked up for so long that
28:33
in this episode we're gonna hear his name and I was one of those people on January 5th 1995 Cosmo Cosmo Kramer his
28:41
mom calls him Cosmo and while I was there I happened to pick up another
28:46
juicy little nugget about our friend what is it I got the first name you
29:00
ready yeah we're trying to get that remember ten years what is it Cosmo Cosmo Cosmo
29:15
[Laughter]
29:31
what's so funny what
29:42
okay so you know the name now the cat is out of that
29:50
keeping it a secret all these years not such a bad name but you know all my life
29:56
I've been running away from that name that's why I wouldn't tell anybody but I've been thinking about it all this
30:01
time I'm trying not to be me I'm afraid to face who I was but I'm Cosmo Jerry
30:07
I'm Cosmo Kramer and that's why I'm gonna be from now on when George was
30:14
dating the Nina the model and thinks she's bulimic she's the ultimate thing
30:21
of not be concerned about her health but that his money was being wasted yes
30:34
you know
30:40
Blair from the bathroom oh you think she was
30:45
refunding have you told me go out to eat the minute we're done eating she's
30:50
running for the bathroom so you're concerned the lane of course I'm concerned I'm paying for those meals
31:08
he said he kind of cares about her oh but he's more yeah he it's just going
31:14
down the drain bitterly uh-huh season seven boy oh boy were either the
31:20

31:25

31:51
of a seat first season premiere is that weird so this is a dialogue that George
31:57
and Jerry have about becoming men right in the beginning is so fantastic you
32:04

32:58
care so how the start says george breaks
33:05
up with a woman after she beats him in a game of chess and then when he tells Jerry about it amongst they both really
33:11
realized that they had done nothing with their lives and decided they're going to make some changes however Kramer one of
33:17
my most favorite scenes ever Kramer warns Jerry about marriage Hey what I
33:23
had a very interesting lunch with George Costanza today really we were talking
33:29
about our lives and we both kind of realized we're kids we're not men so then you asked
33:35
yourselves isn't there something more to life yes we did yeah well let me clue
33:41
you in on something there isn't
33:46
there is absolutely not I mean what are you thinking about Jerry marriage family
33:53
well the prisons prisons you're doing
33:58
time you get up in the morning she's there you go to sleep at night she's
34:03
there it's like you've got to ask permission to to use the bathroom yeah
34:12
and you can forget about watching TV while you're eating I can't oh yeah because it's dinner time
34:21
how do you know what you do at dinner what you talk about your day did you
34:28
have a good day to day or a bad day today yeah well what kind of day was it
34:34
it's sad Jerry it's a sad state of affairs how was your day it ended it and
34:45
Jerry decides to remain with his singles lifestyle unbeknownst to George so George is now going to go off and find himself with a woman his ex-girlfriend
34:52
Susan yeah and then of course hilarity ensues when they're on separate paths
34:58
and Georgia stuck being engaged in Jerry's happily single okay one thing this isn't that personal birth the
35:04
season 1 things I love about the show written by Larry David again is they're there for the jokes they're not there
35:10
for the hugging for the motional dramedy just for the jokes the gauge net kind of
35:17
leads to the invitations the last episode the season or season dies hello
35:22
there yeah story oh yeah the engagements part yeah this episode one Episode twenty fours the invitations you know
35:29
why that episode was written yes why they didn't get long they did not like
35:35
her yeah did the cast them like her now nobody knew George you know like I'm
35:40
sorry just not Saturday that like working with her it's an indication of trust we're not supposed to keep secrets
35:46
from one another but it seems the entire seinfeld cast kept a secret from the actress who played Susan Ross Lily
35:54
Susan nights Lily George Costanza stay on say they didn't like acting with her
36:00
it looked like a lily yes we'd like some
36:06
wedding invitations oh well congratulations yeah thank you George Costanza played by
36:12
Jason Alexander was never happy about marrying Susan now 17 years after the
36:17
show went off the air Alexander revealed to Howard Stern that he couldn't work with her I couldn't figure out how to
36:24
play off of her her you're being Kings know her instincts for doing a scene
36:30
where the comedy was and mine were always misfiring it's hard to tell on
36:35
screen there was any problem I don't know honey what do you want to get Alex
36:49
and ER said in the interview that the actress Heidi Swedberg was a wonderful terrific girl but after three episodes
36:55
together Alexander said he got a call from producer Larry David Larry calls me
37:00
up at the beginning of a season and says good news I got a great arc for you this season you're gonna get engaged I saw
37:06
it's great what do I get engaged to he said Susan who's playing George and
37:14
apparently it wasn't just Alexander he says Julia louis-dreyfus who played Elaine didn't like working with her
37:21
either Julia actually said I know it's just don't you want to just kill her bang so
37:28
Larry David decided to kill her off she's in con Susan is gone but not Heidi
37:39
who is now a full-time musician in LA teaching ukulele classes
37:44
[Music] not that there's anything wrong with that Alexander is apologizing today on
37:51
social media saying oh dear God leave Heidi alone I'm so mad at myself for
37:56
retelling the story in any way that would diminish her they didn't
38:06
understand until they had scenes with her and then they're like okay let's write her out yeah that's crazy
38:11
loketh season 8 the money of the peterhead mel hem written episode so in
38:18
this one jerry's parents sell the cadillac to jack klompers for six thousand in order to give jerry somebody to help him out since he bounced a check
38:24
in a previous episode they along with Kramer suggests the jury might try a career move so does that whole deal
38:31
about the Cadillac it gets driven to a swamp kramer and sarah silverman are
38:36
boyfriend and girlfriend little subplot there is that Kramer wants to leave
38:42
after they make love each night because he can't get a good night's sleep with her that's called the money that one
38:48
raked in thirty seven point three million viewers twelfth episode of season eight again kind of a weird
38:53
episode to be the most watched when it was but that's the way it is I still maintain this the episode beforehand
38:59
like those people talking yeah the episode beforehand was the little Jerry there you go rude lastly season nine
39:06
season I any guesses to anyone the eleven which episode so season nine
39:11
started off with thirty seven point eight million viewers okay throughout the whole season had anywhere between
39:17
thirty to thirty you know eight million viewers the Puerto Rican Day episode
39:23
twenty had thirty almost thirty nine million viewers then they did a clip
39:28
show for two episodes that had almost 60 million viewers but the series finale
39:34
written by Larry David aired May 14th 1998 almost twenty years ago to this
39:41
recording seventy six point three million viewers amazing there are some
39:47
towns during commercial break they flooded the sewer source on because every flush it was the same time all
39:54
during the course yeah yeah the finale is the two-part series finale
39:59
it had an initial run time in an hour ten minutes 15 minutes the fake working title of the show was the tough nut to
40:05
crack to throw off outsiders about the contents of the episode this for the first two file types of season seven
40:11
Jerry performs a stand-up comedy routine now Larry David co-created the series returned to write the script for this
40:16
episode and this episode garnered strongly divided responses planarian it continues to polarize critics and
40:23
audiences I loved it I wash it again literally just today it's funny how much
40:28
it speaks to what's going on today because Kramer was recording a mugging that happens all the time now I know on
40:34
cameras oh yeah sure people record people get beaten up and everything and maybe back in 1998 it might have seemed
40:41
insensitive or a little bit crazy but then I remember these guys are from New York it just dawned on me when I watched
40:46
this well they see beatings and buggy and that's why Jerry's like with again mugs acknow poor guy you know it's kind
40:52
of like anybody gonna do you got mugged we get mugged all the time in New York so to them this is a mugging and they
40:59
made some fat jokes all right so Alan Carr I'm gonna capture
41:04
this oh the money for the lipo see the
41:12
great thing about robbing a fat guy is it's an easy getaway you know they can't really chase you it's actually the one
41:19
of my family it's less money from the buy food come on come on let's get something to
41:36
eat here in sticks ville all right all right there what you're under arrest
41:42
under arrest what for article two 23-7 of the lakeland county penal code what
41:48
no no we didn't do anything that's exactly right the law requires you to help or assist anyone in danger
41:55
as long as it's reasonable to do so I've never heard of that it's new it's called
42:00
the Good Samaritan Law let's go well that was the whole point of this episode that it's funny how people got so upset
42:08
at them making fun of the overweight man when the whole episode was just about
42:14
that meaning they were exposed in the court of law about all the deplorable
42:19
hate behavior the group Jerry Elaine Kramer George for making fun of a fat
42:24
guy but then by the own admission of the show where they were found guilty of
42:29
deplorable behavior throughout nine seasons of TV they stole money I mean this they stole a bread from an old lady
42:36
yeah they shut out a soup kitchen they got got people to deport it out of the
42:42
country all their antics this making fun of a fat guy yeah was the least
42:47
offensive quote/unquote cold and icy offensive with all like sure but fans
42:53
and real-life ribbon is one of getting that we're very upset yeah about them making fun of an overweight person
43:00
whereas what where was the outcry when they took a loaf of bread from an old
43:05
lady or where they tried to kill a dog or when they you name it and they showed
43:12
that in the but again those even their past crimes words it was that was where
43:18
people are so divided I like how they were they were found guilty yeah for
43:23
their behavior well the defendants please rise and how do you find with
43:28
respect to the charge of criminal indifference we find the defendants guilty I do not know how
43:36
or under what circumstances the four of you found each other but your callous
43:42
indifference and utter disregard for everything that is good and decent has
43:49
wrought the very foundation upon which our society is built I can think of
43:55
nothing more fitting and for the four of you to spend a year removed from society
44:03
social behaviors very first episode or
44:08
the first episode was the first episode again but the stakeout the one that we mentioned earlier yeah this are thoughtful if lying
44:14
yeah so there you go over there which most viewed episode of the Seinfeld
44:20
Seinfeld series okay if you were cap we have the stakeout the apartments in
44:27
season 2 the letter in season 3 the pilot in season 4 the stall and the
44:32
marine biologist for season 5 the switch for season 6 the engagement for season 7
44:38
season 8 is the money and of course season 9 is the finale which one if you have to watch these nine again and you
44:45
can only pick eight to watch which one do you drop off which one do you say I will I won't watch it I'll give you my
44:51
pick if you're still thinking the one that I laughed out loud the least and
44:59
maybe check my iPhone during the most was the switch because I was watching
45:05
this thing why did this one get so many views because I was trying to find some sort of and then I dawned on me ah this
45:11
is the big reveal of Cosmo Kramer and that will reveal I'm watching it again after all these years to reveal his name
45:16
is it's very non-eventful it's only a one time viewing experience after you
45:21
know his name it becomes very uneventful and even the cat or the characters all his name is cosmonauts crazy what's his
45:28
name it didn't age well it's probably one the most least aging well scenarios
45:34
out of all these that one felt the most aged I agree with you Ryan
45:40
I've never liked grandmas mom now he have a social was she in I don't know
45:46
okay all right well I agree yes so the switch you're the worst
45:52
you're the worst switch of the most viewed episodes of Seinfeld and Seinfeld's first time broadcast but I'll
45:59
watch it again and I'll watch it again too and these have been watched millions of times the syndication views I wonder what they are at this point although
