Jerry changing his tune about the toaster strudel when told about the icing packets: “That sounds strong I have to admit” 😂😂

Loved the ending of Curb. When I saw that it was going in the direction of the Seinfeld ending I was so excited but then the twist came and it was really a true moment of grace! Clapped during the credits. Truely one of the greatest endings of a show ever. 🎉😂

@LM-fn6qb 23 күн бұрын

I agree, a lot of tension. Perhaps Jerry is tired, fed up with press interviews, away too long from stand up (his natural habitat), and I know Marcus Aurelius is there to help him enjoy the bad reviews but they must get to you a bit after so much effort, even if you only wanted them to be better for the co-stars and writers. I thought this interviewer was classy and gracious and I really enjoyed the 'quick question' comeback re this line being used in the film.

No matter what anyone says, I for one thought the ending was perfect and courageous. Pure genious, from start to finish. Getting them out of jail would have felt too obvious. After nearly a decade of hedonistic superficiality, there was karma (ie, consequences). Although they clearly were not going to learn anything from it. Seinfeld helped bring about my conversion from the superficial life!

I thought the Seinfeld finale was perfect. These were four very narcissistic, self-absorbed characters, who let John Pinette get mugged without trying to help him. Depraved indifference. It was absolutely fitting that they ended up in jail. I haven’t seen the Curb finale yet because I haven’t seen a bunch of the episodes in between the first season and now and want to binge watch the entire Series in order before getting to the final season and the finale. Sure I won’t be disappointed. Also I loved Unfrosted. It was a lot of fun,. And casting Bill Burr… Genius!

I love Jerry's attitude. I'm close in age to him and I never plan to 'grow up'. I stay at about a 5 yr old mentality. At the risk of sounding full of myself, I really think I am fun to be around. I can be alone and have a great time. I take myself out on excursions and stop and smell a lot of flowers. If my humor leaves me for a bit, I really suffer. Comedians are like puppies always looking around to see if there are any other puppies to play with, lol.🤣

That is so cool! I'm like that as well. I'm in my 60's. Since I was a kid, I still act silly, love to make people laugh, love cereal, basketball, baseball, college football, table hockey, (not foosball), ice hockey, the one with the rods that you have to pull and push, some come with a bubble top. My brothers got one for Christmas then I bought one as an adult. I need to get a new one. I still like dolls. I have two baseball gloves, one pink and the other is my late brother's. I like playing softball, eating licorice, and peanut m&m's. When I was in college, I would buy a bunch of penny candy, sit in the library, study and eat my candy. I loved it!! Our washer and dryer didn't work half the time when I was young, so we often went to the laundromat. Now if I go to the laundromat, I feel like I'm home.

⁠@@johnmckenzie4639well they are very different. I don’t eat either these days as they are loaded with HFCS and other crap but when I did, I loved a toaster strudel, but you have them at home. They are frozen and need to go in a toaster and then need to be iced. Pop tarts can be eaten un toasted so you can bring them everywhere. I remember always having a pack of pop tarts in my back pack, you can bring them on a trip as a snack, for camping etc. toaster strudel tastes better but pop tarts you can have on the go, which is an advantage.

Jerry hides his intellect well here and makes it all look accidental for us. I see so many similarities between him and dice clay. Not in obvious ways but thier view of things and that natural comedic dna. It’s clear one works clean and one not. Both have a way of always being in a bit and creating it on the spot with precision and not contrived. It’s a relief to watch a person that recognized thier path early on; followed it and lives effortlessly because of that.
