I don't get Seinfeld

I think a lot of the humor is from American life. Someone from another country would have a hard time relating to it.

I'm a New Zealander, and _Seinfeld_ is the damn funniest thing on our screens at the moment, with the possible exception of the National News, or Simpsons reruns.

BTW, it's completely obscene that Jerry gets paid a third of what Roseanne gets, while he's three times (at least) as funny.

You don't give yourself enough credit. You do get it! It's about nothing!

Ok, you have really stumbled across one of my most favorite episodes. Didn't you think that the whole scene where Jerry is imitating Elaine's "baby steps" was histerical? Or how about Elaine's ordeal? Especially the part where she has to use the bathroom, and she scrunches up her face because it smelled!!! Definately a classic episode!!!!!

Why, does that kill them? Oh, you said FRIES! Never mind! :-)

I have to agree. There appear to be two schools of comedy: stupidity, as exemplified by Jim Carrey and Adam Sandler (and to a lesser degree, Rush Limbaugh and all those TV evangelists and people who believe in them), and neurosis, prime examples of which are Woody Allen and Seinfeld. To my mind, neurosis is funnier and has more staying power. Stupid gets old after a while. But that may be because I am *much* more neurotic than stupid.

You're forgetting the third and probably greatest school of comedy:
silliness, as perfected by such greats as Monty Python.

Kramer is a clown. He's funny occasionally, but Jerry is the main man.
