    Lol these are all great.  I love watching an episode and picking up on a “thing.”  The fake job thing is something they love to mess around with.

    All of these count.  I’d chalk up the fake job phenomena to “intentionally mistaken identity.”

    You know what Kramer did for Brandt Leland?  TCB.

    George as an architect and a latex salesman are good ones.

    Kramer did movie phone.

    Jerry acted as a doorman for Larry Miller's character.

    Mr. Pitt mistook Jerry for a pharmacist, not sure if that counts.

    that TCB line always kills me. lol

    it was awesome/slightly disappointing. the new stuff was great. but then he brought out a few bits that he claimed two decades ago he was retiring. the stuff from the I'm Telling You For The Last Time dvd; Halloween (partial), Horses (full), and maybe one more. I don't know, maybe he figures the new generation wants to hear "the hits"?

    Yep. I may have mentioned this earlier in this thread, but when I saw him in 2005, everything was new, and it was awesome. But when I saw him a few years later around 2012ish, many old jokes had returned, including the "laundry day is the most exciting day for clothes" joke from the very first episode of Seinfeld. I think you're right...he thinks things like the Halloween and Horses bits are "hits," and even if they were, a joke isn't a song.

    I've known of the Temple of the Dog one for a while, and when I pointed that out to my girlfriend a couple months ago, I noticed the Ugly Kid Joe one...and had "Everything About You" stuck in my head for a few days haha.

    ‘Something is going to happen’: Jerry Seinfeld hints at reunion of his hit 90s sitcom

    Comedian suggests at Boston’s Wang Theatre that a re-envisioned Seinfeld finale may be in the works 25 years after series’ end

    Mon 9 Oct 2023 22.49 EDT

    Jerry Seinfeld has hinted that a Seinfeld reunion may be on the cards more than 25 years after the hit “show about nothing” aired its divisive finale.

    In response to a question from an audience member during his standup show at the Wang Theatre in Boston on Saturday, the comedian teased that a re-envisioned finale may be in the works.

    Seinfeld was asked whether he liked the TV sitcom’s finale. “Well, I have a little secret for you about the ending. But I can’t really tell it because it is a secret,” he responded.

    “Here’s what I’ll tell you, OK, but you can’t tell anybody. Something is going to happen that has to do with that ending. Hasn’t happened yet,” Seinfeld said to loud gasps and applause.

    “And just what you are thinking about, Larry and I have also been thinking about it. So you’ll see, we’ll see.”

    Seinfeld ran for nine seasons between July 1989 and May 1998. The two-part finale sees protagonists Jerry, Elaine, George and Kramer face the consequences of their tasteless wisecracking, with the foursome put on trial for making jokes and not intervening while a man is mugged in front of them. Past characters are brought into the courtroom to testify against them.

    The final scene sees the friends locked up in prison; Elaine, Jerry and George bicker and Kramer tries to look on the bright side of not having to worry about meals or make plans on a Saturday night.

    Critics labelled the finale “off-key and bloated” and Seinfeld himself has expressed regret over the show’s ending.

    “I sometimes think we really shouldn’t have even done it,” he said during an interview at the New Yorker festival in October 2017. “There was a lot of pressure on us at that time to do one big last show, but big is always bad in comedy.”

    He said comedy should be “small and cheap and quick”.

    In 2014, Seinfeld co-creator Larry David acknowledged some people “hated” the finale.

    “I think the thing about finales is everybody writes their own finale in their head, whereas if they just tune in during the week to a normal show, they’re surprised by what’s going on. They haven’t written it beforehand, they don’t know what the show is,” he said.

    “But for a finale, they go, ‘Oh, well this should happen to George, and Jerry and Elaine should get together’, and all that. They’ve already written it and often they’re disappointed, because it’s not what they wrote.”
