So far, these have been _too_ much about nothing, but they sure are funny. I give them an A on nothingness, and B on execution.
[George watching tv, Jerry in the kitchen]
George: [flipping channels] Hey, what's the deal with these infomericals?
Jerry: What do you mean?
George: These infomericals, ya know, about the pasta maker, and the vaccum
cleaners that pick up bricks
Jerry: And you watch that stuff?
George: Yeah, don't you?
Jerry: No, I sleep.
George: You sleep?
Jerry: Yeah, I sleep.
George: [throughing hands up in the air] How can you *sleep*?
Jerry: How can you *watch* that stuff?
George: It's on; I watch it.
Jerry: [semi-underbreath] And you probally order that stuff too.
George: What was that? I've never ordered any of that stuff.
[taking it personally (and we all know how George gets)]
You'd have to be crazy to order that stuff.
Jerry: You'd have to be crazt to _watch_ that stuff.
[Kramer comes sliding in]
Kramer: Hey!
Jerry: Hey, can I have my can opener back?
Kramer: Yeah, whatever, I got something better.
George: Better? from where? How do you get better than a can opener?
Kramer: I ordered it off of those infomericals. That stuff is great! Have
you seen the pasta maker?
[Kramer does a thumbs-up]
Kramer: Giiiiiiiidddddddy-up! Chocolate pasta!Now, you try and tell me that doesn't have the makings of an episode. The funny thing is, my boss and I recently discovered that when we talk about something, it is usually about nothing. We've talked about infomericals for about 45 minutes a pop... And you thought my life was about nothing, well it is.
Good News: I finally got my finger file to work, so I am holding up my promise to bring every Seinfeld fan who has InterNet acces my list of great quotes from each show. How ever you get around to do it, finger me at [email] I have the greatest quotes (IMHO) from the episodes The Babyshower and the The Parking Garage listed in there. I have a whole bunch more from other episodes to type up and add. There are about 3.5 screen fulls of quotes, and read the top of it, I used emoticons to save a little space. Have fun!
