Humanity failed when the arcades died. I bet people still would like to play in the arcades but paying money to play something that's cheaper to play at home is a too big of an obstacle now. And having something more exciting in arcade machines that's not available at home is hard when people don't want to pay and especially games that would look and play better than games at home is impossible. What sucks and what's odd about it is the arcades were popular at a time when people doubted if videogames would even catch on, and when videogames are more popular than ever the gamers are too stupid to see the value in modern arcade games.
So that really was Jason Alexander jumping out of the way of the truck, and not a stunt double? I picture several network executives, lawyers and Alexander's agent screaming bloody murder over that one.
@@MrParkerman6 It's convention in the US that white lines indicate the traffic on both sides is moving in the same direction, and yellow lines indicate opposite direction. Dashed means passing is permitted, and solid means do not cross this line for passing.
One of the stupid bad guys in the movie Fargo (the one who murdered the cop and chased down the people in the car which passed by and witnessed it) was in this episode. Took me years to finally recognize him. I knew he looked familiar somehow!
Peter Stormare? He has over 200 credits on IMDB. He's probably the best known Swedish actor who regularly works in English language film and TV. He has appeared in Armageddon, The Big Lebowski, Jurassic Park 2, Bad Boys II, Minority Report and Constantine.
Funny how they went through the trouble of doing the yellow lines seeing as there actually aren't any road lines in Frogger, white or yellow. Jerry must have misremembered.
No lines in Frogger, like a newly paved or surfaced street. Activision's Freeway for Atari 2600 has white lines between traffic going the same way and double yellow lines separating oncoming traffic.
I don't get the comment about the white lines vs yellow lines. There are no lines on the street in the Frogger game. Or they appear on much later levels and I just never made it that high?
Russian: If Frogger Machine starts losing power pull lever. George: (Pulls lever, the lever breaks off in his hand) Oh no! Russian: What are you doing, pull lever! George: (Holds up lever) This is the lever! Russian: Oh no, not good. George: What do we do!? Russian: Mir Space Station to Huston we're losing power to the Frogger Machine. George: No! My score will be erased! (Starts reading manual and pressing random buttons) Russian: Let me show you how we fix Frogger Machine on Russian space station! (Starts hitting the machine with a crowbar, the machine suddenly becomes super-charged with power) Yes! Finally, now get that fly!
I just watched a video from a guy who has an arcade collection in his basement. The circuit boards have a place for a AA battery. Only problem is they might leak, so he was showing how he could hook up a battery to it, so that if it did leak, it would drip on the bottom of the cabinet and not the expensive circuit board.
@@sandal_thong8631 Are you saying it is possible to just replace the AA battery while plugged in then just unplug it? And that is a feature in all arcade cabinets of the time?
Wrong! The scores would NOT erase if the power was unplugged. Seinfeld got it wrong. Friends got it right when unplugging didn't erase Chandler's bad word intials.
alot of people comment on many of these videos about the neurotic tone that comes from Jerry, Jason, Michael, and Larry.........But, think about it....yes, it must absolutely true that those guys are very strange in real life. That's what makes them great at their on-camera life. Honestly, Julia seems to be the only one even close to normal in real life.
Yeah, good story about Jerry. There are no lines in the Frogger game. Jerry is obviously one of those unbearable guys who needs to make his contribution.
+Lynn Turman It's an utterly pointless comment that added nothing to the show but required people to run around to please him for no improvement to the show. That is the definition of prima donna.
Very weak episode. Normally Seinfeld is about real life, with huge embellishments, but nobody would ever try to cross like George to copy the Frogger...so a big fail for the series, unnecessary fantasy plot.
You think too much. It's not a big fail, as it's seen by most fans as one of the most fun episode. Not all of them has to be cerebral or relatively down to earth, the show could afford to be silly and over the top from time to time. It's one of the many things people love about Seinfeld, it takes you places other sitcoms wouldn't, and only George Costanza would be crazy enough to frogger his way into traffic just to feed his ego and keep one of his only life achievement intact. It's just a fun storyline.
That's what you are worried about? It's much more unrealistic that the truck would keep going and not stop, he could have been charged with attempted murder for not stopping in real life.
I think a lot of people can relate to George in this episode: with nothing noteworthy in your present, you desperately cling on to mediocre successes in your past. Holding on to your past is more relevant today than ever.
“Holes! I need holes!!!”
I loved this episode. It was so nostalgic and makes me miss seeing arcade games everywhere.

Hopefully the claw machine won’t die
One of my favorite episode's..
"Aaahhh beat it Punk!" Had me dying 🤣🤣

If you just watch it you can see it's Jason. Simple as that.
One of the best episodes!
That dive kills me XD
I like the backstory on the yellow lines. Kinda weird, though--the lines are yellow yet everyone's driving the same direction!
Where the fuck do you live were color dictate direction?
I've lived in California my whole life, dumbass. That isn't true.

@@carultch EXACTLY!
But weren't the lines actually white in the game lol?
Thanks for posting this. This was one of my favorites of this awesome show.
I always yell "Frogger!" if I see someone trying to cross multiple lanes in heavy traffic.. No one knows what I'm on about😕
Eat the FLYYY!! EAT IT!!!
@William Walker Beat it, Punk.
Fun fact: that's Drake Bell as the kid playing Frogger at the beginning.
Funner Fact: no one in their right mind gives a crap about Drake Bell or the sitcoms or sketches or music he did.
Milquetoast Eugenicist False. I’m his biggest fan
Like Elijah Wood in Back to the Future Part 2.
Who the fuck is Drake Bell?
Got to love the Drake
The needed vandaley industries to help move the frogger because they do importing and exporting!
Wrong! They have latex salesmen. The importing/exporting is different.

This was such a good episode 😅
Will always love this episode🐸🐸🐸🐸
"Oh, you mean the holes"
Anytime I need an outlet
I yell I need holes!
where do the writers come up with these brilliant stories? Can't get the Frogger tune out my head now but it doesnt matter.
Like they said, Jerry came up with the frogger storyline himself. He was probably a big fan.
Is it still in your head 9 years later?
A Masterpiece 🐸👍
My favorite part of these reviews is that they take place at, Casa Del Mar Hotel by the Sea
Great storyline. Great episode.
I love frogger
They need make a frogger movie
Slippery Pete was the actor who played the drunk cosmonaut in Armageddon.
I love arcade machines from the 80s the 90s the 2000s
somehow that Wayne Kennan looks like Rabbi Glickman
game over
Last great episode

god thats so dangerous
friends huh good
The pizza place owner 😂
They need to explain the disappearing George episode.
Slippery Pete!
DRAKE BELL LOOKS SO CUTE!!
a lot of is taken from real life. they adapt it to a tv show and voilà...
I got the Genesis version
I don't get the comment about the white lines vs yellow lines. There are no lines on the street in the Frogger game. Or they appear on much later levels and I just never made it that high?
The game appeared on various video game consoles. On Super NES, there are yellow dotted lines.
But this is supposed to be completely based on the arcade game, therefore your agreement is invalid.
He either misremembered or saw a different version.

Now-a-days getting the overhead shot would be easy with a drone.
Think this was done on the backlot of a studio in L.A. I liked watching their behind the scenes for their subway set they built!
@@sandal_thong8631 Seinfeld had a special NYC street built especially for the show.
@@realistindenial Thanks. Saw that too.
Is that Drake Bell?
The sea was angry that day, my friends
You mean the holes?
Actually, the lines were white. There were yellow lines too but mostly white.

Most people that actually live a time period know less about it than younger generations that are obsessed over it.
Unplugging an arcade game will NOT erase the scores.
thanks a lot Andy. you were a big help for this extra . 😆. less Andy next time
and a 9 year old could get that shot with a drone nowadays
Would it even be possible to move it without cutting the power?
It's a moot point anyways, cuz, cutting the power won't erase the scores.
It is possible. Law enforcement often use special devices to seize computers without turning the power off.
One thing is for sure…you can’t count on Slippery Pete to help you pull this through.

Director's name is Ackerman. The godfather World Champ of Tetris is called Aackerman. Åkerman.
Aackerlund
If I remember correctly, arcade games would not erase the high scores if the power was shot off.
It depended on the game.
back then, some would retain high scores if the power switch was shut off, but not if it got unplugged
mikemoair ... Too bad. They go together we'll.
@@humbledb4jesus Yeah sure. 9 hours straight standing up at your feet not pissing, not eating, nothing. Of course you did.

Which is crazy because her dad is a billionaire. She never had to work a day in her life. Very down to earth
do Jerry and Jason Alexander hate each other in real life?
I can't imagine
No, Jerry didn't hang out like the s
Rest of them off camera, he was too busy with the writing.
What they said.... ^
v fail v
Yeah, good story about Jerry. There are no lines in the Frogger game. Jerry is obviously one of those unbearable guys who needs to make his contribution.
+greg55666 He had already made his contribution. Did you notice who the show was named after?
+Lynn Turman You're saying the guy in this clip is lying about Jerry suggesting the lines change colors?
greg55666 No. I'm saying whatever Jerry's motivation, it wasn't because he "needed to make his contribution."
+Lynn Turman Yes but your reason for thinking so is not supported by the facts.
