Fanpage Seinfeld

Seinfeld is een Amerikaanse sitcom, die tussen 1989-1998 op de Amerikaanse televisie te zien was. De serie draait om het leven van Jerry Seinfeld (gespeeld door de gelijknamige acteur), zijn buurman Cosmo Kramer (Michael Richards), zijn beste vriend George Costanza (Jason Alexander) en zijn ex-vriendin Elaine Benes (Julia Louis-Dreyfus). Samen komen ze altijd in de meest bizarre situaties terecht. Er zijn 180 afleveringen gemaakt die elk zo’n 21 minuten duren, verdeeld over 9 seizoenen. De show heeft veel prijzen gewonnen, waaronder een Golden Globe voor Jerry Seinfeld en een Emmy voor Outstanding Writing for a Comedy Series. De afleveringen worden gekenmerkt door verschillende verhaallijnen van de hoofdpersonen die uiteindelijk weer bijeen komen. In Nederland is Seinfeld door RTL 5 uitgezonden en sinds 5 september 1996 door Veronica, in Vlaanderen vanaf april 2000 door BRT1.

Een paar hilarische scenes uit Seinfeld:

George Costanza as The Marine Biologist:
At the beach everyone is yelling at George.
Crowd: Come on! Save the whale! You gotta do it!
Diane: Save the whale George… for me.
(George turns and slowly walks towards the ocean with a determined look. He takes off his hat and throws it down. He walks into the ocean)

George: So I started to walk into the water. I won’t lie to you boys, I was terrified!… But I pressed on. And as I made my way passed the breakers, a strange calm came over me. I-I don’t know if it was divine intervention or the kinship of all living things but I tell you Jerry at that moment … I was a Marine Biologist!

– George: The sea was angry that day my friends… like an old man trying to send back soup in a deli!… I got about fifty-feet out and suddenly, the great beast appeared before me. I tell ya he was ten stories high if he was a foot… As if sensing my presence he let out a great bellow! I said, “Easy big fella!”… And then, as I watched him struggling I realized, that something was obstructing its’ breathing. From where I was standing I could see directly into the eye of the great fish!
– Jerry: Mammal.
– George: Whatever.
– Kramer: Well then, what did you do next?
– George: Well then, from out of nowhere, a huge tidal wave lifted me, tossed like a cork and I found myself right on top of him, face to face with the blow-hole! I-I, I could barely see from the waves crashing down upon me but, I knew something was there… so I reached my hand in, felt around and pulled out the obstruction!

(George reaches into his inside jacket pocket and dramatically pulls something out in his clenched fist — holding it up in the air for a second, then displays a golf ball holding it in mid air)

– Kramer: What is that a Titleist?… A hole in one eh?!

– George: Diane came up to me, threw her arms around me… kissed me. We both had tears streaming down our faces. I never saw anyone so beautiful. It was at that moment that I decided to tell her that, I was NOT a marine biologist.
– Jerry: Wow! What’d she say?
– George: Told me to “GO TO HELL”!, and I took the bus home!
