DVD extras don't get a lot of attention and are often blah. But the Inside Looks on the Seinfeld DVDs were something special. For fans and folks who really loved the show, seeing the interviews about the behind the scenes, the story structure, the actors' thoughts, etc. is really special.
i always thought it was weird he was put in the final scene! that's why i love these extra videos, they let me know the thoughts in my head aren't just crazy haha
If this had been a later episode, he wouldn't have gotten off alcohol for awhile, but would have come back to testify against Jerry in the finale, saying it's his fault he lost his sobriety.
It's not the only time the storyline invaded the standup, though it was the most obvious example. At the end of The Sniffing Accountant Jerry's closing monologue directly acknowledges the events of the episode as they were based on an actual experience he had. And at the end of The Bris Jerry's finger is still bandaged onstage
0:38 I disagree. The best example of George is when he takes the IQ test (twice) and lies to his girlfriend on why the test is covered in coffee. "I had a sandwich in my pocket." "Yep. And some coffee."
I just want to write that my name is Josh and i want to write that Seinfeld is my favorite half hour sitcom.. I want to write that reruns of Seinfeld came to the Comedy Central channel in October 2021.

I get what they did with the ending of the episode, but it so goes against what this show is about: 4 terrible people leaving a trail of carnage wherever they went.
Idk it’s not It’s Always Sunny in Phil. In fact, most of the scrapes they get into on Seinfeld is because they don’t want to be truly horrible people but they keep making things worse.
@@ran52475 the gang in always sunny ruin everything they come into contact with. The Seinfeld 4 have some collateral damage but usually it ends up with just them being the losers.
It was definitely a cave in to the network. But it was fairly early on wasn't it? Next would be "but now you have to show that Susan didn't really die"
Totally agree. You can tell by the way Larry David talks about it that he didn't much care for the extra scene, but that in real life he had slightly more ability to pick his battles wisely than George Costanza.
my guess would be at least part of the a factor is the case that this is an instance where an outsider is severely damaged but NOT because of selfish, negligent behavior by one of the leads. There's plenty of that in the series, but here it boiled down to just an honest, horrible coincidence. Jerry didn't do anything "wrong", just that what he did was at the wrong place and time.
George's response reminded me of the old Steve Martin line "I forgot armed robbery was illegal".
Holy crap that's funny!
Ha, same here! And of course Steve Martin's "I forgot" excuse leads into an "EXCUSE ME!"

His response is legit one of my favorite monologues
One day I'm gonna pull out all my old DVDs and watch all these interviews.
Doit!
I love these Inside Look interviews
jason was the best and so down to earth in real life.

the way he nonchalantly says "from my pocket" and "i climbed out the window" gets me every time 😂
Frowned upon
Is the best line imo.
i just remembered that that actor sang the 1970's song makin' in and dr pepper jingle. take that youtube
Damn Jason looks like a completely different man with that beard.

10 years later, we be like: “How can you tell?”

Under the wagon
uptight studio execs ..
We never talked about the dot.
That's obviously an Irish Coffee
im sure he meant off the wagon
nope. on the wagon means to abstain from alcohol.
The guy at the end had no idea what on and off the wagon meant.
The full expression is "on the water wagon", meaning you're off booze. So ON the wagon is off alcohol. He got it right.
The guy in the comments had no idea what on and off the wagon meant...
Was that wrong??
liability reasons
same reason you can't walk on the street naked - lewd behavior
What that wrong? Lmao
funny stuff, but not my favorite episode.
