I saw a bad episode the other day. A real stinker.


It was the episode where Jerry's barber gets jealous because Jerry has someone else cut his hair.

Oh man, it was bad. Completely unfunny. I doubt any episode is worse than that one.

You mean a stinker, like Elaine's feces?

Oh Elaine's feces, that's an orgiastic feast for the senses. The want and the festival, the sites, sounds, and colors mmmummumm mumm

reply

So a I love a that episode-ah!! That's a the best episode I a ever seen-ah!!!!




"Get out here, son! There's a doin's a transpirin'!!"

reply

If I-a see-a that episode again-a, I'm-a gonna die-a!

"I must be crazy to be in a loony bin like this."

reply

Mmm, I love the smell of feces in the morning!

reply

No, no. That's my idea. You see I had the idea of a cologne that makes you smell like you just came from Elaine's chunnel.

"Elaine's Chunnel"

Perfect name for a Seinfeld porn parody. Hawkeye, you magnificent bastard... you did it!

reply

Everybody out of the Chunnel! Everybody out! The Chunnel’s gonna blow!

reply

Hawkeye, c'mon!

Do you think people are going to pay $80 a bottle to smell like dead fish and feces? That's why people take showers after they emerge from Elaine's Chunnel. It's an objectionable, offensive odor.

reply

Oh I really think you're wrong! See, I think people want to smell like Elaine's feces. You know, it's the right time for it.. to smell like rotten eggs and spoiled Arby's..

reply

I wish Elaine rubbed her stinky butt on my keyboard like she did Peggy. I love the smell of Arby's in the morning!

reply

Oh it's a scene man. That's why Elaine had Jerry's snorkel. You see he kept it at her house as it allowed him to venture to the chunnel without breaking his vomit streak.

reply

Oh, I think you're really sick.

reply

You said much sicker things than him.


They were pretty rough, but they had something.
What was it?
I think it was the trousers.

reply

Peggy may have been a germaphobe but I'm not. I would have loved if Elaine rubbed her dirty chunnel on my keyboard!

reply

Well, aren't you something?


They were pretty rough, but they had something.
What was it?
I think it was the trousers.

Well, the writers were probably just getting anxious to start their vacations.

That's the great thing about this show - it was so experimental.

Of course if you're experimental, you are taking a big risk - your experiment might not work, and it's very likely it will fall flat on its figurative face.

However, with experimentation and .. 'experimentalism'?, you also open the door for unconventional, original, unique episodes with completely amazing humor and situations. When an experiment pays off, it's hilariously wonderful!

It's just that it wouldn't be experimenting if it couldn't fail, and some of the experiments are pretty bad. The Chinese Restaurant, the parking hall, the indian wedding and the edward scissorhands.. they're all sub-par.

But without them, we wouldn't have the gems, so you have to take the good with the bad.

Freedom to experiment is the freedom to bring out the genius that doesn't exist in the world of 'playing it safe'.

By the way, there are much worse episodes than the haircut thing; I thought it flowed pretty well, and was full of funny clichés to make fun of certain types of stories, while utilizing the characters very well (Newman shines in this episode as the villain).

There are actually boring and awkward episodes (some of the earlier ones), or just useless and depressing ones (the finale). I'd rather watch this episode than any of those.

reply

There are a few stinkers in season 9.

reply

The barber episode is one of the worst.

reply

The barber episode was kind of silly but I actually like it. It's not among my favorites but it's alright, and there are a lot of worse ones.
