@@cathypierce3170 Yes....I saw that on the "Behind The Scenes" video about this! His Dad, Greg Morris would take the two of them to the same Barber Shop that Mr. Cochran used and Phil Morris said he learned a lot just watching and listening!
I thought the same thing- he’s asking probing questions to determine where liability is even if it may not be ethical- like the question- “ were you able to sip in a normal fashion” “who put the top on “ are the big twi
A little trivia for DC comics fans. Phil Morris (the actor who plays Jackie Chiles) was the voice of Vandal Savage in the Justice League Animated Series. Also, for Disney fans, he was the voice of Joshua Sweet in Atlantis: The Lost Empire.
On "Seinfeld" the person who had the idea for an episode was responsible for that episode (according to videos showing behind-the-scenes), it wasn't the dynamic of a normal writer's room. You people take these actor's talents for granted: they are professionals. Yes, sometimes they could break but, for example, whenever Jerry Stiller broke or forgot his line, he was apologetic to the person he was acting with because he was a professional. Other guest actors also got it together quickly and tried again.
nah, he wouldn't have made millions, but he would have gotten all the free Chicken McNuggets he want in all McDonald's restaurants throughout North America and Europe though....
Im not sure of the dates, but im pretty sure this came out after a woman sued mc d's for coffee that was too hot/defective lid in the mid 90's. The real story sounded so absurd it made headlines and people thought it was purely a cash grab. Actually, it was an elderly woman who dumped a whole cup on her crotch going through a drive through. It burned a lot of skin and she needed skin grafts iirc. She just sued to cover legitimate medical costs. I remember seeing pictures of the burns online, it was way worse than you'd think. Elderly skin can damage much easier, it looked like she was in a car accident or something.
Yeah. To add onto the story you posted: she was in the passenger seat of the parked car while her son went to get sugar and cream. She popped up the lid and the coffee spilled onto her. Later on when, she wanted to get the money to cover the bills, McDonald's threw a fit and just gave her 800 dollars.
Actually, people didn't think it was a just a money grab until mc Donald's put people on the streets chanting "coffee is hot ssuesy is no" 5:13 suesy was the name of the elderly woman.
Well I was actually in a burn ward for a fire and had 3 skin grafts. Anyway the most common injuries I saw there in the waiting rooms were people burning themselves on cups of noodles and hot drinks no joke.
Jackie Chiles character was loosely based on O.J. Simpson's lawyer Johnnie Cochran. The actor Phil Morris knew Cochran because they went to the same barber shop. Cochran was not amused by this portrayal, and asked Phil Morris to knock it off. Seinfeld writers didn't.
There's actual truth to the real lawsuit that inspired this episode. It's the McDonald's Hot Coffee lawsuit, in which the old woman opened the coffee in her passenger seat of the parked car her son was driving. She got some horrific burns and wanted to get money to cover her hospital bills. Legal Eagle has a great video going over the lawsuit and others like it.
Just to add on, it was discovered that McDonald's intentionally made their coffee unreasonably hot so that customers wouldn't sit in the restaurant and clog up space
No matter how long you boil it ; water does not get above 212° -- the ideal temp for coffee Amazing how people boil water for coffee at home ; but expect it to be cold when they order it at a restaurant
Michael Richards apparently got so jumped up on caffeine in real life while on Miami Vice that he had to have treatment from paramedics. He probably drew on that for this episode.
Ways to make a case: Did you put the top on...or did they put the top on? And they made the top😅 Yeah, it's gonna be a problem. It's gonna be a problem for them.
Jackie is such a funny take of ambulance chasing lawyers. It's not even that much of an exaggeration. They'll take anything for money. Including idiots like Kramer. There's a local advertisement for a lawyer constantly on TV here. His ad is basically "let's just sue, and I'll make them pay"... There really are Jackie Chiles lawyers out there.
Jackie and Kramer make a good comedy duo.
They actually worked together on another show prior to Seinfeld.
"The best Jerry, the best!" in my Banya voice 😆
Both equally looney, but in their own sort of way. Always loved the episodes with them together.
I love how kramer's cases are loosly based on real life cases but only ends in a very cartoonishly dumb way caused by him lol
I know this was based on the McDonald’s coffee case, but what were Kramer’s other lawsuits based on?
@rckblzr the bra-less girl getting away with being found guilty because the bra didn't fit her (an obvious reference to the OJ Simpson trial)
Jackie: "Where the hell'd you get that damn balm from anyway?"
Kramer: "The Maestro."
Jackie: "The who?!" 🤣
Jackie Chiles was a master lawyer. I am sure that he could get the gang out of going to jail, right?
"You people have a little pet name for everybody?" - Jackie Chiles
Jackie actually makes a super convincing defense speech in the Final.
Kramer is the worst client.
He didn’t even wait to hear the additional $50k.😂
Kramer said that he didn't hear the and part of it, but I definitely heard that guy say it.. 😂😂
It makes us cringe that he missed, I mean f u put urself in his position, but it's a comedy gold if u just watch it happen in the show lol😂😂😆😆🤣🤣🤣🤣
@@RafaelSale they did the ol swtich a roo they were suppose to say 50k first lol
Kramers fast walk at the end lol Rowan Atkinson would be proud.
YOU PUT THE BALM ON?! WHO TOLD YOU TO PUT THE BALM ON?! I DIDN'T TELL YOU TO PUT THE BALM ON! WHY'D YOU PUT THE BALM ON?!
Do you even know what a balm is gonna do! Their unpredictable!
I'm betting Johnnie Cochran absolutely loved watching Jackie Chiles pontificate back in the day! 🤣
It reminds me of the "Chewbacca defense" on South Park lol
Until he started making money of it, then the actor received a "cease and desist"
He didn't like it😂
The actor actually knew Jonnie Cochran lmao
@@cathypierce3170 Yes....I saw that on the "Behind The Scenes" video about this! His Dad, Greg Morris would take the two of them to the same Barber Shop that Mr. Cochran used and Phil Morris said he learned a lot just watching and listening!
"It's outrageous, egregious, preposterous!"
It’s definitely preposterous!..
3:30 Both entering the door at the same time 😂😂
Classic!😂
Jackie was asking some really good questions.
Which ones? About how they had a case or why Kramer screwed them over, twice.
I thought the same thing- he’s asking probing questions to determine where liability is even if it may not be ethical- like the question- “ were you able to sip in a normal fashion” “who put the top on “ are the big twi
We want Kramer on caffeine in each episode. 😂😂😂😂😂
Yeah, it's gonna be a problem.
It's gonna be a problem for them.

I have no idea how any of these actors managed to stay in character while filming the scenes. And the writers room must have been a thing to behold.
On "Seinfeld" the person who had the idea for an episode was responsible for that episode (according to videos showing behind-the-scenes), it wasn't the dynamic of a normal writer's room.

@Steven Turner
You all should stop asking such an inane rhetorical question. They're actors; it's their profession to successfully play out scenes.
@@redacted2275
- writers’ room
- these actors’ talents
Michael Richards and Cosmo Kramer are consubstantial, Richards IS Kramer.
He just was himself, "keeping the role" is thus a pointless question.
kramer's expression after jackie states that he didn't put the top on, classic.
It's outrageous, egregious, preposterous 😂 Plus LMAO at Jackie and Kramer walking in at the same time 🤣
😂 Kramer's run was the best part of vídeo, congrats guys.🤣
If he only would have figured out the Chicken McNugget leg burn, he would have made millions!
Did she win?
nah, he wouldn't have made millions, but he would have gotten all the free Chicken McNuggets he want in all McDonald's restaurants throughout North America and Europe though....
Everybody needs a lawyer like him
Yes, you need a good lawyer to save you from yourself!
Certainly at the top of my favorite Seinfeld scenes !!! All riiight all right

Also, turns out there were past lawsuits about the hot coffee.

@@tonypeppermint5329 nah she got way more then the original offer was 20k
Well I was actually in a burn ward for a fire and had 3 skin grafts. Anyway the most common injuries I saw there in the waiting rooms were people burning themselves on cups of noodles and hot drinks no joke.
We gon' run some tests on that top! 😂
Your face is my case. Different scene but… 😂
And that scene with the Kramer cowboy billboard was also the most public of all of Jackie’s humiliations😂
He wins every case except when it involves representing Kramer, Jerry, and Elaine.
Jackie and Kramer probably could have their own TV show lol
They ‘could have’ indeed 🫢
Jackie made Kramer look adjusted and rational.
That is a monumental achievement!
He paid Jackie back by blowing two lawsuits
Love the balm bit
I don't want free coffee! I can make my own damn coffee!
This is my favorite show to watch 😊
They needed to make an episode with Dr.Bison...he's Jackie's Bob Sacamano
Italian coffee is NOT meant to be too hot 😂 It's meant to be a comfortable drinking temperature
- the Maestro
- the WHO!?
“I know the Maestro didnt tell you to take that deal, he wasnt there!” 😂😂
The way Kramer says “cafe la-TEY” LOL!
I love this scene!

Jackie is the best lawyer in the world.
"They put the top on" lives in my head rent free
this is me = coffee panic at 4:36 LOL
“You wouldn’t be on that jury. He would have weeded you out.” 😂
I wish there was more of Jackie Chiles
Jackie does his homework. Gets his own coffee with the top on.
Do you know what a balm does?
Who told you to put a balm on?! 😂
@@DrT0705 lol
Balms are impredictable....
Mmmm, alright alright. Yeah it's gonna be a problem for them

Cosmo Kramerberg Von Nostrand 😅
a factory churning out laughs when you get the caffè latte duo together!
I watch this episode 365 days a year and I never get tired of watching it.
Worlds greatest attorney
Kramer put the lid on at the movie theater, he has the top in his hand while he’s in line
Outrageous, egregious....preposterous
Don't play this while boarding a plane. "Do you know what a balm does?!"
Kramers one of those guys who either spends the most on an item or spends the least on an item. It's either the best of the best or "I know a guy"
Pure gold
4:25😂
Keener Kreamer is a trip 😅😅😅
Like how jerry is all concerned about Kramer
Uhumm uhumm.. hand gestures.🤣😆🤣
Michael Richards apparently got so jumped up on caffeine in real life while on Miami Vice that he had to have treatment from paramedics. He probably drew on that for this episode.
'I'll take it!!!'
☮
I’ll take it?!?! Who told you to take it? Did I tell you to take it?
-No
I know the maestro didn’t tell you to take it, he wasn’t there
😂😂
Do you know what a balm is?
All sharp ton !
I love this lawyer :)
3:30 hahahaha
Jackie Chiles for US Attorney General..
"They're real and they're spectacular!"
Kramer should’ve sued the caffeine companies after this lol
GOOD WORK EVERYONE ON THAT ONE.
Awesome! Love Kramer😎
Well coffee hot spill burn has been a case.
Dr. Bison is on the take.
I like a good caffay laughtay
And years later a band of people would sue McDonald’s for selling way to hot coffee
Jackie chan the lawyer LOL
Chan?
@@BDUBZ49 jackie chan adventures lol
ISN'T THIS A RERUN!? AHAHAHA AHAHAHA LOL
Ways to make a case:

Sometimes even I can be latigious
Wait til they find out how much they would have really gotten. This has only happened in real life twice
Did anyone here make the top?
Kramer did put the top on ;) just to let you know
Best
Shouldn’t have put the balm on.
Jackie > Saul
Before saul goodman
There was Jackie
Great sitcom but why ask for a lawyers advice and hire them and then do whatever you want to do at the end I don’t get it lol
Susie want ya to go down to Java world get me a cafe latte.. with a top, we gon run some tests on that top
Need an Indian lawyer like Jackie
So guys if you won that 'lawsuit' like Kramer. How many would you drink a day?
My Friends a conductor
The dark irony that the actor portraying Kramer would never hire a black lawyer, due to his prejudice.
You didn't make the top
