Seinfeld stars reunites in Curb Your Enthusiasm

The Seinfeld four - Jerry, Kramer, Elaine and George are to appear on several episodes of Curb Your Enthusiasm, the HBO comedy starring "Seinfeld" co-creator Larry David.

Jerry, Kramer, Elaine and George haven't acted together since "Seinfeld" went off the air in 1998.

GEORGE: Was he on his death bed?
JERRY: No, he was on his regular bed.

Don't you just love those tiny masterpieces spread around in the episodes?

Norwegians in Seinfeld

In the first episode of season 9 (The Butter Shave) two Norwegians appear. Elaine goes with David Puddy to Oslo, the capital of Norway. They talk with the Norwegian taxi driver. Later Elaine talks with a Norwegian called Magnus (Vegetable Lasagne) on the plane home. Now, since I am Norwegian, I can't help finding it very annoying that the "Norwegians" in this episode speaks with a German accent. Very bad research of the Seinfeld crew there. Otherwise The Butter Shave is a great episode. It is in this episode George fakes being handicapped at his new job at Play Now.

Blooper from the The Non-Fat Yogurt

When Elaine start laughing it is hard to stop.

More bloopers from Seinfeld

If you enjoyed the Seinfeld bloopers, part 1, you'll probably like the second part of the bloopers even better! Look at the scene from the Merv Griffin show episode (3:44) - it's a comedy miracle, no wonder Julia and Jason laugh.

I wonder why we find such pleasure watching the actors fail. It's kinda like America's funniest home videos, except that the "victims" always laugh. What do you think?

Happy Festivus

It's Christmas time, but not for Frank Costanza. In the episode The Strike (season 9, ep. 165) we learn about Festivus, the holiday George's father invented as an alternative for celebrating Christmas with all it's commercial aspects. At H&H Bagels (where Kramer works for a brief period of time before he starts a new strike), Frank tells Kramer about how it all started: " Many Christmases ago, I went to buy a doll for my son. I reached for the last one they had, but so did another man. As I rained blows upon him, I realized there had to be another way."

Flip coins (from The Robbery)

George and Jerry wants the same apartement. They try to solve the conflict by flipping coins. Later they "choose" for it. I am not familiar with the choosing "game", but over at Stan the Caddy it is explained like this:

Basically, one person chooses even, the other chooses odds. Then each player has the option of "shooting" out one or two fingers. If both players shoot out the same number of fingers (1-1 or 2-2) even wins. If the two players shoot out a different number of fingers (1-2 or 2-1) odds wins.

This hilarious scene is from the episode The Robbery (season 1). Luckily for us, George didn't get less neurotic in the following seasons!

Here are some funny bloopers. Enjoy!

Intro to season 9

Seinfeld season 9 is soon out. This is the intro to the season 9 shows. Jerry and George are trying something new (mustache), but it doesn't quite work. This season has some great episodes. My favourites are The Dealership, The Merv Griffin Show and The Reverse Peephole.

A scene from the Seinfeld Episode "The Yada Yada"

Kramer defends dentists and saying Seinfeld is an "anti-dentite".

Kramer gets fired by Mr. Leland

Everything has to end, even Kramer's "job" at Brandt-Leland in the wonderful episode The Bizarro Jerry from season 8.

It is J. Patrick McCormack (sometimes referred to as John Patrick McCormack, John McCormack or Patrick J. McCormack) who has the difficult task of firing Kramer, who really doesn't work there.

"That's what makes this so difficult."

Art Vandelay (false identity)

George invents a character named Art Vandelay to get out of trouble, like Kramer has a Van Nostrand. Here are a few of the Art Vandelay scenes.



Actually, a real Mr. Art Vandelay shows up in the last episode (The Finale, season 9). He is the judge sentencing the four to spend a year removed from society so that they can contemplate the manner in which they have conducted themselves.

The library investigator in "The Library"

Here's a clip from the episode The Library (season 3). The library investigator is played by Philip Baker Hall.

Pitbull on a poodle (Seinfeld Quote)

This line is spoken by the Library investigator (!) in the episode The Library:

And you better not screw up again Seinfeld, because if you do, I'll be all over you like a pitbull on a poodle.

In the episode The Library (Season 3) Jerry is investigated for not delivering Tropic of Cancer in 1971. The library's investigator, named Bookman (!), is obsessed with finding punks like Jerry who doesn't deliver books back to The New York Public Library:

You know that little stamp, the one that says "New York Public Library"? Well that may not mean anything to you, but that means a lot to me. One whole hell of a lot.

I love obsessed characters! The Library investigator Bookman is one of those pure evil guys, kinda like the Soup Nazi of the Library World.

Bookman is played by Philip Baker Hall, who makes a wonderful performance. Well, I hope there's no hard feelings. Hard feelings? What do you know about hard feelings.

The peephole in The Reverse Peephole

Michael Richards (Kramer) and Wayne Knight (Newman) had a wonderful chemistry on the set. In the episode The Reverse Peephole (season 9) they reverse the peephole in their door in order to prevent an ambush.

Kramer says he now will be able to peek in to see if anyone is waiting to jack him with a sock full of pennies. It doesn't concern Kramer and Newman that people will be able to see in:

Our policy is, we're comfortable with our bodies. You know, if someone wants to help themselves to an eyefull – we say, 'Enjoy the show.'

Season 9 will be released on DVD November 6.
