Seinfeld is the best.

I have to object to this.
Monk's Diner was located on the Upper West Side, several miles from the site. There is no way that dust from the World Trade Center would reach it.

the dust reached all the way to my apartment in Park Slope, that's about 5 miles away, the dust travelled everywhere.

 

[Luigi87]

lmao, that was great. Very on point with Seinfeld's comedy, and using the anthrax at the end was perfect.

 

[Krixeus]

This just makes me wish there were more seasons of Seinfeld

 

[Freeza Under The Shower]

It's good to be able to compare the clean 40 minute format due to the known locations with the far more extensive style of a screenplay. Or is this a teleplay?

It does fit exactly with the show though, even if it wasn't on the air then.

I almost spat at George's "...which is why I can’t “imagine". I can only “know.”"

I thought it was a little heavy on fan service -- most episodes of Seinfeld don't feature Steinbrenner, George's parents, Willhelm, Uncle Leo, Newman, Rebecca De Mornay, and Jackie Chiles all in the span of 22 minutes. It feels a little like the first Futurama movie where the writers felt in necessary to hit on every popular character and plotline within a short timespan.

But beyond that, I think it's a great emulation of Seinfeld. George's lying about being a 9/11 survivor is spot-on, even if it's a bit more politically incorrect and dark than the show ever was. Wasn't one of the cast members on The League actually guilty of lying about being in the Twin Towers?

 

[Falcs]

This is amazing. I feel like I just wanted a new episode. So good

 

[17 Seconds]

haha, of course people in here are taking it too seriously

 

[Moff]

incredible work

Spoiler

george pretending to be a hero
elaine trying to break up with an annoying boyfriend who almost died
kramer being the cause for this by accident
Jerry fighting with the idea that the dust is people

everything is so perfect

Yes. Or maybe he's lying about lying about being in the Twin Towers. Sadly we will never know.

You forgot the "chekov's gun" anthrax envelope, and Kramer accidentally starting the 9/11 truther movement.

Yup.

Got it all over by Grand Army Plaza.

Edit: I also remember seeing shredded bits of paper, like documents from desks.

 

[Bernbaum]

It's authentically Seinfeld because everyone is funnier than Jerry.

 

[Oblivion]

Wow, that was actually pretty good. I can totally picture all the characters acting the way they do.

- Jerry letting the dust bother him to a ridiculous degree
- George taking advantage of getting mistakenly identified as a 9/11 hero
- Kramer being more bothered by losing his box cutters than for unwittingly helping initiate the worst American based tragedy since Pearl Harbor.
- Elaine initially being relieved that the guy she was seeing that she didn't really care for died in the attacks.

Best part was in the beginning with Kramer, by far.

"Hey, you know my friend, Mo Atta?"

I was finished after that. So good.

 

[PalaceBrother]

It's in pretty bad taste but Steinbrenner was written perfectly

To add on to the pile, I thought it was incredible. The Steinbrenner rant felt like it was cut from a classic episode - 100% perfect.

 

[elfinke]

It's got the vibe about right, it hit many if the marks of the theme and the way the episode escalates towards its conclusion is reminiscent of some of the best parts of season 4-6...

But it wasn't very good. Neither dark (though there is a limit to how dark a prime time general audience rated TV episode can be) nor particularly clever. But hey, it wouldn't take too much polishing to get up to speed.

I guess my misgivings with it are more to do with the topic, rather than anything else. Seinfeld and Curb were always say their best dealing in the minutiae of day to day living, this topic not so much.

 

[Killing_Joke]

I would say 90% of that is pitch perfect. The overall plot and key jokes were solid. Some of the dialogue is a tad too dark especially from Jerry and Elaine.

Still a great read and i literally pictured everything in my head. Great job.

 

[SCULLIBUNDO]

Holy fuck the Steinbrenner monologue. This guy nailed it.

 

[ThisOne]

I love Seinfeld but didn't find this funny at all. oh well

 

[-Pyromaniac-]

I am obessessed with seinfeld but wasn't feeling this. The plotlines and premise were great and nailed what seinfeld would do, but some of the dialogue just seemed like an immitation. Even though that's exactly what it is.

Some of it is spot on though.

I love how Kramer is both the comic relief and the most shitty character of the series.
