friends is fascism; the taylor swift of sitcoms
In all honesty, shortly after I realised what Seinfeld is the comedy my teacher always talked about, but I never really watched it.
I submit supporting evidence of being a bad person: "Jerry the GOAT mouse".
Jerry was an asshole.
Do you remember that episode of Friends where they were in London? Do you remember Joey watching the TV show with the "where everybody knows your name" theme song and starts to miss New York? That was a real show.
You have to post the link too.
That's just because the show itself is biased against Jerry.
The show was called Tom and Jerry because those were the nicknames in the war. Jerrys = Germans.
But the truth is, you can't name a better mouse.
the italian mouse from american tail is the real GOAT
Fievel.
Okay, maybe the average age of GAF is a lot higher than I realised.
You're the one that brought up Tom and Jerry.
The oldest show in discussion in this thread.

I thought this was about the GOAT mouse Jerry but instead, it's a sitcom I never even heard of.
The past 3 days i've heard posters exclaim the following:
Never heard of Seinfeld
Didn't know Homer Simpson had a brother.
What's next?? The youngs are taking over this board and infecting it with their ignorance.

I'm 19 and I know about Seinfeld
Wait really?
It aired on Cartoon Network when I was a child, though. And I'm sure Tom and Jerry kids isn't that old.

I'll try out some Seinfeld, if anything, I owe it to myself to see how it could possibly be so much better than Friends.
Oh, I have at least seen those. And Bread, which was amazing.
Why not?

No wonder you love Friends. It's probably the only sitcom you've even heard of.
You're a Brit, go watch some Fawlty Towers or Only Fools at least.

Seinfeld has reruns every night (well in America but maybe elsewhere too). Hell, it still draws great ratings despite being a 25 year old show. Kinda amazing you've never heard of it.

I watched tons of Simpsons but I forgot he had a brother. Also I just googled and it is a "long-lost half brother" so I am pretty sure I am not the only one. As for Seinfeld, I think that poster is just pulling our leg. Seinfeld is still famous, he had a netflix special come out last week!

I want to say a few years ago there was quite a large thread on GAF (maybe gaming side) asking peoples ages. It was by no means super scientific but the average age came out to be 28.

Seinfeld? Nah I don't think so. But Jerry (character) is a super complicated person regardless of the shows portrayal I think. George on the other hand is a pretty straight forward guy I think.
How?

Dude's a chip, chip, cheerio Brit. Seinfeld's not nearly as repeated here as Friends.
I'm gunna check with immediate family because I've never been recommended to watch it. We all used to gather around and watch Friends.

Ignore Seasons 1/2 if you watch.
What? It's slower/more grounded during the early seasons but it's still funny.

Most of my telenovela watching family would fall under that category. I found out about Seinfeld through a friend from school.

Seasons 1/2 have some hits like The Pony Remark and even the pilot, but a lot of it is meh compared to the greatness that would come.
