I saw this thread on the wrestling NG, so I thought I'd start one here. Here's my list:

Signs you're obsessed with Seinfeld:

- when anyone gets into an accident or mishap, your first words/thoughts are "that's a shame" - your best friend is Bob Sacamano - you urinate in the shower - you wear puffy shirts - every time you watch Ellen, you yell out "not that there's anything wrong with that" - your favourite porno star is Buck Naked - your favourite author is Art Vandelay - your favourite movie is Prognostic Negative - whenever you watch the Miss America pageant, you end up cheering for Ms Rhode Island - you pretend to be married just to get a discount on dry cleaning - you pop the top of a muffin - every time you walk into your home, you do a "Kramer" - you've tried to execute the switch

There are tons more I haven't thought of. Anyone want to add to the list?

You rooted for the Yankees in the last World Series because they employed George Costanza. You celebrated when the Yankees didn't make it to the World Series because they got rid of George Costanza. When you're in a pressure situation, you yell out, "Serenity now!" The only part of pudding you enjoy is the pudding skin. You've proposed to participate in, I think it's pronounced, a menage a troi. You cover your walls with wood panel wallpaper to give it that, "ski cabin feel." Whenever you eat pretzels, you have to comment on how they are making you thirsty. Whenever you go to a sporting event, you have to paint your face, or some other part of your body. Whenever you take something away from someone, you yell, "No soup for you!" You hate Dockers commercials. You try to slip your boss the mickey. You want to put the "kibosh" on people you hate. You refuse to get an illegal cable hook-up becuase you don't want to end up a dead "little cable boy." You are not aware of the phrase, "indian giver." Everytime someone is rude to you, you yell, "You know, we're living in a society!" You own a space pen. You're afraid of clowns. You return all your books on time to avoid any confrontations with "Mr. Bookman." You don't carry a pen on you because you're afraid it'll puncture your scrotum. You make sure to write down where you park. You've won a "contest." You send out revealing Christmas cards. You eat Junior Mints, Drake's Coffee Cakes, Jujyfruits, Beefaroni, and drink Snapple. You oven dry your clothing before putting them on. You own a tweety Pez dispenser. You have seizures when you hear Mary Hart's voice. You plagarize break-up letter from famous Neil Simon plays. You take offense to being called a phony. You always wear a helmet in fear of "Crazy Joe Divola." Your favorite opera is "Pagliacci." You go to hospitals looking for "pigmen." You're acutally working on a coffee table book. You believe the black and white cookie is an excellent statement for race relations. All your knowledge of high culture comes from Bugs Bunny. You love to make references to Superman. You love to say "Gortex." You only carry hundreds. You insist on making your own pizza. You don't have a wallet cause it might put your back out of alignment. You want to ensconce yourself with velvet. You walk around without a bra, or you wear a bra alone as a top. You think soup IS a meal. You have the "Kavorka." You make your friends call you, "The Assman." You have no patience for re-gifters. You fake cancer to get sympathy, and maybe a new hairpiece. You can't admit to watching "Melrose Place." You vow to never do a "hello kiss" again. You love Bette Midler. You claim you have the body of a "taught pre-teen Swedish boy." When ever you describe an article of clothing, you embelish it with a "Peterman-esque" story. You have a hot tub in your living room. You refer to people as, "bastards" and "son-of-a-bitches." You often end your sentences with "baby!" You call your significant other, "schmoopy." When asking someone if they're pleased, you say, "happy pappy?" Your ATM code is either "Jar-el" or "Bosco." You don't like having your friends get to know your girlfriend because "worlds could collide!" You want to name your kid, "Isoceles," "Seven," or "Soda." You randomly blurt out, "Yo-Yo Ma!"

When considering sleeping with someone, you evaluate whether or not they are really SPONGEWORTHY!!!!!!!!!

when friends call during an episode you simply state "Friends don't call friends during Seinfield"....

Ohh how stupid - no truly DEDICATED fan would ever drop to such low levels as to use that stupid Elaine "spongeworthy" deal from the New Episodes. Ugh.

How about:

You beg and plead to get back with your Ex and then change your mind in an instant.

You hear a friend is in the hospital, then stop to get some Jugi-Fruits.

You yell for no apparent reason (THEN LET HIM HAVE BANANAS ON THE SIDE!!!!)

How about this one ? -

You're even more addicted to alt.tv.seinfeld than to the actual Seinfeld sitcoms.

Oh no, I've loved black and white cookies since I was a little girl, way before Seinfeld was an NBC executive's dream. I guess my destination was pre-determined.

I took my wife and kids to the Ringling bros. circus last night. 3 rings of action. During one of the acts, they played a bass riff, I looked at my wife - she said "I know, I know - Seinfeld".

Speaking of those bass riffs.... I find myself playing these in my mind at certain breaking points in the day. Like when a meeting's over or someone leaves my office.

Also at the circus, the ringmaster sounded like Newman.

  • You're attracted to reporters or anyone named "Lois"
  • You think, "People. They're the worst!"
