People tend to confuse "I really like this band" with "I like a few specific albums by this band." It's a mistake everybody makes, since saying, "I like _____ era" of whatever band can be cumbersome. I would say that if you have particular concerns about what a setlist for a show is going to consist of, a little bit…
I saw the Archers of Loaf on their tour and I didn't think they should feel guilty about it since they weren't a bunch of hacks who made millions by recording terrible music.
After reading the article, I say no.
Is what George is doing here that out of character for him though? He carries the lie as far as he does because he assumes that people don't hold him in contempt enough to actually expose him. Of all the story lines in season 9, it really doesn't strike me as the most outlandish. I drew the comparison to that…
"You can feel…..younger…and..more generous….below."
Their time is now and they seem to get plenty of praise. Do you want them to be as big as the Black Keys or something?
The Chinese Woman is probably the best of those, but not necessarily because of the humor about race. One exchange defines its greatness for me:
"He's very independent…he doesn't follow the trends."
"He looks ridiculous in that thing."
"YOU HAVE NO EYE FOR FASHION!"
Was a Gap joke even hacky in 1998? I can't imagine the show was the first to come up with it, but I don't think it was as cliche as a joke about airline food.
That whole scene is great.
"What is a gander?"
"It's a goose that had the old switcheroo pulled on him."
My picks, in no particular order:
1. The roommate from the Switch
2. Elaine
3. The NYU journalist
4. Sophie
5. Jenna from the Pothole
Point taken, UMD. Although Kramer does tackle Mickey in the wedding episode; it just isn't the culmination of the episode but rather in their fight over whose date was whose.
I am always curious about why they brought back Mickey as often as they did. Danny Woodburn isn't an unfunny guy by any means, but they can't really write a plot that doesn't involve him getting pissed at Kramer and trying to tackle him to the ground. You couldn't substitute Newman to Danny plots all that easily…
Is it when Kramer is looking for gelato? I noticed neither that nor when this happened in the Wizard.
Making Jerry pretend he runs a latex company out of his apartment was okay though. That happened in early Seinfeld, which makes any strange or silly plot lines completely grounded in reality and plausible.
For such a late introduction to the supporting cast, Kruger got some very memorable bits.
Dial it back a little. Say that you want to leave a flaming bag of dog shit on his door step.
Kramer's gonorrhea story is a thing of beauty. "Our eyes met
across the crowded hat store. I, a customer, and she a coquettish haberdasher.
Oh, I pursued and she withdrew, then she pursued and I withdrew, and so we
danced. I burned for her, much like the burning during urination that I would
experience soon…
I agree. The waiter telling him Morgan looks like Sugar Ray is just a genius cap to that story line.
I haven't seen this episode and its mocking of politicians, but I didn't think That's My Bush was a knock on Bush. Like in the post-election episode where McCain, Obama, and Palin, were all given stock personalities from a heist movie, That's My Bush was just an 80's sitcom. The humor had a lot less to do with the…
