Kramer's character was based on Larry David's real neighbor. His name was Kenny Kramer. Kenny actually came to a Seinfeld trivia night I went to. He told some good stories, like the Chinese Hair Restoration scene was a true story. (George ordered a tonic from China to cure his baldness) So funny!

The character was originally know as Kessler, until Larry David's neighbour Kenny Kramer allowed them to use the name (which they had always wanted) In the first draft of the script, he was named "Hoffman"

To me All in the Family and Seinfeld were the best TV comedies of all time - in my humble opinion.

Seinfeld was so much fun to watch as it came out. To really get the inside jokes and long running physical gags, and understand the quirks of each character, you really need to watch the full series.

Greatest television show of all time.

You have to see Bert from the TV show "soap", it was a comedic look at the soap opreas from daytime television. It's based on two sister's and their families.

Bert and "Chuck and Bob" on Soap were the best ... Bert finding Bob in the refrigerator was classic!

You should do both George Constanza and his parents. The parents are hysterical!

You guys HAVE to watch the entire series, the backstories, the character development, and the story context make these scenes way funnier. Very well written show.

@granitestater1029 Not to nit pick but it wasn't a puzzle. It was the game "RISK" he brought it over to Jerry's so that Newman wouldn't cheat while Kramer had to go out for a bit.

Just finished watching Will and Grace. You should do a reaction to Jack/Karen. Frazier is another masterpiece. I would recommend King of Queens and Living Single too. Just a fun fact. The character of Kramer is based on someone Larry David lived next to (Kenny Kramer: still alive IIRC). But Larry David is a genius writer. Curb Your Enthusiasm is just fabulous. I find Larry David Sexy.

With friends like Kramer who needs enemies.

Of course, LARRY DAVID STARS IN HIS OWN SITCOM ON HBO. HILARIOUS!!!!! "CURB YOUR ENTHUSIASM" 👍👍👍👍👍❤❤❤❤❤👍👍

Kramer was our intrusive thoughts

There was a contest in 1995 for viewers to come up with names for Kramer’s first name. The winner was Cosmo.

There's context missing in these compilations. It's a lot more funny if you get the background on these scenes. I'm gen x. I was in my 20's when the show was on, and of course reruns were on multiple channels it seemed like 24/7. Some parts are still relatable and relevant and some are outdated because they were about current events. Another thing that was cool was almost everyone watched it so there was a connection at work, school, family, and friends. Kinda like the day after the Superbowl almost everyone watched it.

I'd love to see you guys react to Third Rock From the Sun - such an awesome sitcom. Great acting and writing.

New York. I'm a lielong Westcoaster, but I just find East coast humor more to my liking. Hard-edged, smart-assed, dark sarcasm.

Kramer and George were the best 1s on that show . George's parents were a riot too . The mailman neighbor was funny too .

One episode i enjoyed was when Kramer got burnt with hot coffee from a coffee shop, sued and settled for free coffee for life. The rest of the show he was speeding on caffeine, which was trippling up what you were used to seeing in his character.

Still one of the greatest modern comedic geniuses I've witnessed He could easily put Jerry in stitches

My niece is Gen Z and she loves Friends. I never cared for it but Seinfeld is one of my favorite shows.

Those scenes were sorta out of context... They'd be a lot funnier if you saw the entire episode.

From Kirkland WA ... like New York humor, Huskies and Mariners! Enjoy your channel!

My husband doesn't think it's funny, never watched an entire episode but I thought it was hilarious and have seen ever episode. Silly popular lines I always say are A Nickel! They're real & they're Spectacular! NO soup for you! Like an old man trying to return soup. They shrink?! You can and you will. And my all time favorite line is He took it out. He what?! He took, hawh hawh (blows on her glasses to clean tbem) it out. Then Kramer bursts in and asks her how the date went and she says he took out, and Kramer struggles to keep from falling in shock Sooo funny

THEY ALL HAVE GREAT STORIES. KRAMER BASED ON LARRY DAVID'S REAL NEIGHBOR.👍👍👍👍👍

Joe has a great sense of humour.

"Seinfeld" was - for Me the Perfect Example Not of "Show Execs Finding Gold" but Rather "Gold Finding Show Execs"...

Superman appears in every episode of Seinfeld.

4:32"By the way. They're real. And they're spectacular!"😂

Time to start reacting to CURB YOUR ENTHUSIASM!

Seinfeld is timeless

Seinfeld and King of Queens are my 2 favorite shows.

Oh i forgot the other funny line was It still stinks! It STILL STINKS!! HAHA

I'd like to see a reaction to something old school like The Little Rascals. Some good vids are Two Too Young, The Pooch, Hook and Ladder, Pay As You Exit, Fish Hooky, Glove Taps, Free Eats

I picked your most recent video for my comment. I'm taking it back to the 70s. There were 3 other shows I think you should watch...The Jeffersons, Chico and the Man and Mel's Diner. Gen Z grew up with these prejudices and laughed at ourselves, but also got in your face examples. Today it's all racism but it was usually ignorance and prejudices back then. Taught me to see people as individuals growing up with these shows and I know I'm not the only one. So grateful for the education and laughs.

Yup. I think Seinfeld was the best of all time. Although All In The Family is probably tied with Senfield. But Norman Lear says its not a sitcom but a satire.

Gotta do taxi shows and WKRP in Cincinnati shows. You guys are great 👍

I think it's probably the best sitcom of all time, especially when taking into account longevity. It was so consistently funny for so many years. Other sitcoms were in the same league for shorter periods of time, but I can't think of any that were able to pull it off for that long.

The sideline characters were the best ones on that show .

"Friends" is funny but the humor is more basic and relatable to the average person. Also the premise of that show is relatable to lots of people and so it's more popular overall. "Seinfeld" has by far more edgy and clever writing. The subject matter on many Seinfeld episodes is way out of the ordinary and couldn't even be aired in today's TV landscape. Seinfeld had an episode about masturbation in which the actual word was never said but was very clearly implied. Seinfeld had an other episode that dealt with cunnilingus and again, the word was never uttered but was clearly implied. Every Seinfeld episode describes something that happens but in reality has two or three different things happening. The Seinfeld episode titled "The fusilli Jerry" also has a story of Kramer being assigned a license plate that says "assman" on it and it is hillarious. Though, this is not implied on the title of the episode at all. There is another Seinfeld episode that pays homage to the movie "Midnight Cowboy". This episode does have a guest appearance by Jon Voight also who starred in that movie. Seinfeld is considered the best sitcom ever by most critics for this reason. The reason it is not as popular with gen z or even millennials is because they have really never really watched it. They may have seen an episode of the first or second seasons which are very obscure and not the best. Have anyone watch the best of Kramer or George and they will be hooked. There is a compilation going around called "Seinfeld Funniest Moments" that is honestly not the best representation is this amazing show. That compilation has a few out of context scenes that are not even the best by a long shot. There are a hundred funnier scenes out there.

Larry David and Jerry Seinfeld wrote all of the scripts. After a while, Jerry said he would come up with the general idea and then Larry David would just take it from there.

M.A.S.H. was the best sitcom for me! And, East coast humor does it for me!

Have you done 1 on " Soap " ? I would love to see your take on that show.

“Seinfeld” was a favorite when I was in my 20’s. It was reliably hilarious esp (for me) George and Elaine. To answer your question: I prefer neither. Sitcoms are sitcoms. One thing to note though: never took “Seinfeld” or any other sitcom (from my era 80’s/90’s) seriously in terms of locale bc it never felt like the NYC that I saw and lived in.

I have seen so many sit coms in my long life, it would be hard to pick a favorite. I was even exposed to old 1950's sit coms, because they were still rerunning many of them in the 1960s. But Third Rock From the Sun and the original WKRP in Cincinnati would be somewhere at the top of my list. I was also a big fan of Seinfeld, and Will and Grace. Arrested Development and Its Always Sunny in Philadelphia. Cougar Town. The list goes on and on. News Radio. Just Shoot Me. These shows always made me laugh.

Also a very different sitcom from the 90s you would enjoy and I think would make for great reaction videos was the show Titus. Maybe do the first episode reaction to understand the dynamic of the show. Another was Herman's Head.

The writing mostly comes from real things that happened to the writers or people that they know

Please more

FRIENDS was another Network trying to jump on the SEINFELD Bandwagon. I REFUSED to watch a poor man's copycat show. I've NEVER watched FRIENDS. Not one second. I wouldn't even recognize their theme song if I heard it. "I dont need anymore friends. I've really got all I can handle".

With the edgy and sometime racial comedy you guys have covered, when your video title mentions Kramer Faux Pas Moments, my mind can't help but go to the Michael Richards (Kramer actor) infamous Laugh Factory clip TMZ broke which ruined his career (/life). The granddaddy faux pas of 'em all. Maybe you guys haven't seen that. It sucked. A lot of people that knew him a long time, friends across races, claim he just generally snapped mentally. They contend he indeed sought to be outrageous in the moment, obviously with the type of reckless abandon verbiage that can ruin your life when the dust settles. ...Nevertheless, they claimed he's not really a race hater at heart. I can't really decide what I think about him, they make me second-guess. But if I were forced to choose one or the other, I'd guess he's racist. Anyway, he's gone too far for me to waste time bothering with trying to figure it all out. Fuck him. Next. lol
