Seinfeld TV Show • Page 6

Ya agreed. Maybe the car dealership episode was a bit eh but that's the only time.

 

"El Paso, I spent a month there one night."

 

Comedian Billy Domineau wrote a Seinfeld spec script that takes place a week after 9/11. It's getting alot of praise online and is being talked about by alot of comedians on Twitter.

Here is the TLDR of the plot for those who don't have time to read it.

Jerry is incredibly paranoid that the dust from the debris still around NYC is vaporized human remains.

Elaine is relieved when she finds out the guy she was about to break up with died in the towers because it saved her an awkward conversation. She then finds out he survived and reluctantly accepts his marriage proposal just because she doesn't want to be seen as turning down a 9/11 survivor.

George is jealous of the surviving first responders because they are getting the admiration of being a hero that he always fantasized about. He then makes up fake story of him surviving the tower collapse so people can see him as a hero.

Kramer finds out his neighbor was one of the hijackers, and that the boxcutter that was used on the plane was actually his that he lent to him a week before.

 

I'll have to read that later. Could be pretty interesting.

 

that's some dark humor

 

That Elaine plot line seems more in tune with George.

 

Ideas like that are why it is good it ended when it did. One of the things that made Seinfeld great was how detached it was from the real world. They had the episode tied to the mayoral race, but that was it. No arguing over Clinton/Dole or Elaine doing the macarena.

 

true

 

true but that george plot line is the most perfect george plot line.

 

The Jerry one is perfect. The rest are a little too dark perhaps, even for Seinfeld. I agree w/ Moz's statement. It would almost feel like a parody of itself, particularly Kramer's plot.

 

Having skimmed through the script I kind of agree.

The climax is a scene where Kramer having found a brand new boxcutter excitedly opens an envelope and it's filled with white powder, and coughs it all over Jerry, who then runs away right into George and gets the supposed Anthrax all over him as well.

I do sort of get what the guy was doing though. It's not supposed to be fan fiction, it's supposed to be essentially a longform sketch parody of Seinfeld. I believe the guy said he came up with the idea when he was talking to another comedian about how the sketch the other guy was writing needs to be "an exercise in bad taste, like if they did a 9/11 episode of Seinfeld".

 

Yeah, that just doesn't ring Seinfeld to me. At all. Shoehorned as fuck haha

 

"Bosomy? You want to know if your grandmother was bosomy?"

 

if anything the letter should be opened by george, given his paranoia of dying from anything.

 

Seinfeld2000 did it better

 

Confession: I still haven't seen Bee Movie.

 

It's not worth it. I had to remember if I saw it or not.

 

I don't think Bee Movie is the kind of movie you have to confess to not seeing.

 

But guys, what if I meet Jerry one day? I don't want him to be disappointed, especially right before I ask him to be my dad.

 

I don't understand the internet's weird obsession with Bee Movie

 

I always assumed it was an ironic love.

 

I didn't know the Internet had a thing for it, but I remember it being a clever, fun movie

 

I imagine his response would be "what's the deal with people wanting me to be their dad? I already have kids, I don't want more kids"

 

Seinfeld seems like he would be put off by a random person wasting his time and asking him questions.
