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.

Kramer's First Appearance | The Seinfeld Chronicles | Seinfeld

[BDUBZ]

I love the detail of how he didn't carry both slices of bread in the same pocket. Makes the reveal more dramatic. 😀

[oddduck]

It’s funny to see George toying with the idea of doing the opposite this early on 😂

[DarkGob]

One of my favorite things about early Seinfeld is how uncomfortable George is around Kramer.

[LiamB]

Jerry's appartment definitely evolved a lot since then 😂

[twilightblue]

They both look so young. Kramer's hair sure changed later.

[Jim_L]

These characters didn't seem real yet. They felt like they were reciting lines they had memorized. Once the show got its rhythm, the characters came to life and felt like real-live people.

[dizzy]

His first appearance of him spoiling the game for jerry and asking for meat definitely set the tone for the whole series 🤣🤣🤣

[frozengamer]

Kramer and George are my favourite characters on the show.

[denniscleary]

I’ll be honest, Kramer is one of the reasons I have a problem lending my things out to other people 😊

[evrbody]

It took George a few seasons to adopt the "do the opposite" philosphy.

[johnnymoran]

The newspaper on the couch... Ahhh the old days ..

[hipster-doofus]

I never caught Jerry calling Kramer “Kessler” before! Now the very end of ‘The Betrayal’ makes sense!

[artfuldodger]

I love how Kramer makes the sandwich in the fridge 😂😆

[filmjunkie]

Cosmo’s entrance & pulling out 2 pieces of 🍞 out of his robe pockets you knew his character was going to be a smash hit 😂😂

[cugamer]

Ah, the first appearance of "Kessler." Larry David was worried that his friend Kenny Kramer would get too mixed up with the show so they changed the characters name to Kessler in the early days before just going all in on "Kramer."

[LorenScott]

They certainly improved the pacing of the show after the pilot. Compared to what it became, the gaps between lines/bits in this clip are almost painful to watch. I am SO glad the network didn't give up on the show and let it fully develop. One of my favorite shows ever. Great writing. Perfect casting. Brilliant acting. Yadda, yadda, yadda.

[thumbsupvibe]

I love the vibe of the first episode. I never tire of watching it, just a classic imo.

[truthhurts]

You know the message you’re sending out to the world with these sweatpants? You’re telling the world. “I give up. I can’t compete in normal society.”

[X-any-all]

I really like the way everything looks in these scenes. The apartment looks less like a studio set and more like a cozy home that a bachelor actually lives in; and the clothes are way more casual and comfy.
The only thing that breaks the illusion of realism is that they're wearing shoes.

[ryanloftis]

I love how Kramer knocks on the door instead of sliding into Jerry's apartment.
