About Seinfeld:
Seinfeld stars Jerry Seinfeld as a stand-up comedian whose life in New York City is made even more chaotic by his quirky group of friends who join him in wrestling with life's most perplexing, yet often trivial questions. Often described as "a show about nothing," Seinfeld mines the humor in life's mundane situations like waiting in line, searching for a lost item, or the trials and tribulations of dating. Co-starring are Julia Louis-Dreyfus as Jerry's ex-girlfriend and current platonic pal, Elaine Benes; Jason Alexander as George Costanza, Jerry's neurotic hard-luck best friend; and Michael Richards as Jerry's eccentric neighbor, Kramer.

“ You look like you’re going to swing in on the chandelier!”

"But I don't wanna be a pirate!" Best part ever 😂😂

[aussieskates]

Low Talker: YOU BASTARD!
Bryant Gumbel: D'you hear that?
Jerry Seinfeld: That, I heard.

[zerocoolist]

They missed the part were you see all the homeless people walking around on the street wearing the puffy shirts they found in the warehouse dumpster.

Jerry’s reaction is mine when my mom used to buy me clothes and I didn’t want to hurt her feeling lmao

[MA-goee]

Some episodes of Seinfeld are so effortlessly funny that they make it look almost easy, like anyone can write this stuff... (Of course then you try and realize it take genius to achieve something so hilarious)

BTW one thing I really love about Seinfeld is how naturalistic the dialog and reactions are.

Look at the way the black set assistant said 'is that what you're wearing?!'. No exaggerated double takes like most hacky sitcoms would do, just genuine surprise. It makes it so much funnier and less cliche.

[Anthony-hurj]

Seinfeld never gets old. I must have seen this 50 times and it still makes me laugh. Comment, comment.

[truthhurts]

Jerry’s blue shirt here in the beginning looks puffier then the “puffy shirt”. 😂

[tonyginnetti]

The line Jerry says at the 1:23 mark, "they're making THESE?" with the subtle pointing at the shirt is flawlessly hilarious!

[MikeMJPMUNCH]

I love how Jerry looks like he is about to laugh when he says "But I don't want to be a pirate"

[uneedtherapy]

"You bastard"
"Now that I heard"

[tilibro]

"Pilot the EVA, Jerry. Or George will have to do it again."
"But I don't want to be a pilot!"

[DaytimeNitemare]

The comedic balance of these 🍇 perfect

[comebackqing]

The really weird part is how well it suits him lol

[Nhamp]

The way he recoils as Kramer gets closer with the shirt.

[liamyoung]

In retrospect, all of Jerry's shirts look kind of puffy.

[daveconleyportfolio]

"Prince called. There seems to have been a mixup at the dry cleaners."

[geminijohnson]

"You're all puffed up"😂

[Alex_Power]

Andre Agassi rocked a pirate look, albeit not with a puffy shirt. Bandanna and earrings. Agassi was the first pirate of the 90s

[jatilq]

Only Prince could get away wearing a shirt like that and sadly he is no longer with us.
