Wayne Knight referred to his role as being like a designated hitter in baseball. You're not in the game all that much, but when you are, you make a huge impact
Apparently Michael Richards didn't want his character to be too closely linked to Newman as a duo. Understandable, as Newman is the only character on the show that consistently stole the scene.
@@vinylholicsanonymous3871 Fortunately, Michael Richards softened his stance on duos over the years, because he was excited to see a team with Kramer and Mickey.
@@mockgem7851 Depends on where you’re speeding. I got one out in the middle of Wyoming for doing 10 over out in the middle of no where (granted that’s pretty much anywhere in Wyoming) a few years ago and it was $60. That included a $10 discount for being buckled. Now in places like CA, they charge you through the roof for speeding.
This is not just one of the funniest episodes of Seinfelt but probably one of the funniest in TV history, absolutely epic and a testament to the Seinfelt show that they had such amazing caracters
@@12classics39 I'm not even sure that it was intentional. Michael Richards was very in his physical comedy. When Newman grabbed him, Michael did one of his awkward Market moves to get a laugh. The flagpole falling might have been gravy.
Wayne Knight really knocked it out of the park in this one lol. I've read that he has now lost much of his weight and is doing fine. One of my favorite actors!
I love the way Newman seems to put special emphasis on the word banker. A genius little comedy detail which starts to get funny after he’s done it a few times.
Apparently he studied ballet or something and he learned how to be really light on his feet. You can best see it in the scene where Kramer is chasing the tow truck, while carrying the Risk board and Newman comes striding in behind him at full speed lol. Gotta give the guy credit and he did lose a bunch of weight too!
Next to Newman, George seems normal. The last min. 4:15 to 5:15 is so funny especially how Newman is trying to portray how Kramer was trying to kill himself. Within a min Newman goes bonkers. He's arguing with his own witness. Genus comic acting.
And it ties in to earlier in the episode (or previous episode) where Joe Davola kicked him in the head and gave him a slight concussion. So he forgets Newman's story WHILE he's in the middle of it. And the Yo-Yo Ma outburst due to the same concussion early in this clip always gets me. 😂
1:58 Newman: "Yes, I admit I was speeding... But it was to save a man's life! A close friend! An innocent person who wanted nothing more out of life than to love, to be loved and to be a banker!"
this scene is one of my 3 all-time favorite Seinfeld performances, along with the mohel telling Elaine not to put her glass near the edge of the table and Mr Bookman lecturing Jerry. Just fantastic acting and I laugh out loud every time, dozens of viewings later
HAHAHAHAHA!!!! I had forgotten about that one entirely. Hilarious!! And the ticket was only $75! It would have been much simpler to just pay the $75. But this is pretty funny! Kramer’s a loyal friend. I bet he’d have done the same for Bob Sacamano.
The Seinfeld series is analogus to the Apollo moon missions in that as time passes, we realize what a monumental achievement it was and one that will likely never be surpassed.
@@jlvandat69 Haha that's how I feel about God, like if I believed in god then maybe life wouldn't suck all the time. But yeah, the Apollo Missions 100% happened.
For me, the funniest part is where Newman says “And this failure to become a banker was just eating, and eating, and eating at you inside?” And Kramer says “Uh yeah.” The way he says that is just hilarious. 02:56
Newman's Clarence Darrow shtick is perfect, the crumpled shirt, the braces, the impassioned theatrical gestures, and Kramer for once focuses on playing the straight man role. Classic television.
@@airport862 Ah yess...I used to really enjoy the show n watch it on tv. I still associate Joseph Gordon-Levitt to this sitcom more than any Hollywood movie.
I love the way Newman says "banker"
The chemistry between Kramer and Newman has never been matched. Legendary comedy right here.
Lemme guess? You dont really watch other comedies aside from Seinfeld.
Vincent K McMahon,really that is your name?WOW!!!!!!DUH!!!!!!
Have you seen the opening when they're talking about the Bermuda triangle and alien autopsy? Fucking brilliant.
Lame.
@@BEDLAMITE-5280ft. Yes, I'm sure you are.
The judges face when Newman says he does charity work with the blind is one of my favorite moments of this show.
"I was in the middle of a game of Parcheesi with an old blind man" killed me
The judge is hilarious!
The judge is great 👍
I love how the judge is so bored while this outlandish story is being concocted by an increasingly agitated Newman.
His reaction @3:17 was better.
"Your failure to become a banker was eating, eating, EATING at you inside...isn't that right?!"
"Uuuh...yeah"
LOL
@Space Penguin King got any pancakes
😂😂😂
Someone’s got anger issues
You idiots know this is a t.v. show!
When Newan mentioned he does charity work for the blind, I love how the judge rolls his eyes not believing the B.S. coming out of Newman's mouth.
Lol he’s like “The neck brace and crutches routine is more believable.”
They could have also investigated Newmans charity work for the blind and the 3 banks Kramer apparently applied for.
This is maybe the funniest Seinfeld scene, Newman totally losing it has me in hysterics every time
One of the best scenes.....Kramer getting confused at the end while Newman is losing Kramer's understanding :)
Love how he says banker
me too, it's one of the best ever, when he hangs himself with his own tie is when the tears start for me.
How about the first scene where newmie is thinking hard but comes up with no ideas?
I agree!
Newman's rants are just out of the world 😂
Such a talented actor! Man, this Seinfeld production was out of this world.
@@dncviorel yess
Haha..I love Newman.lol
Perhaps there’s more to Newman than meets the eye…
@@lizzieck2576 yes maybe newman has a backstory and he just takes out his anger and frustration from time to time
I love how Kramer never comes through when it really matters
Ironically this time it was Newman's fault
He came through for Jerry when Tony kidnapped his car.
Kramer had been kicked in the head by Crazy Joe Devola. :(
@@00Kuja00 that's what i think of your party.
Kramer got pics of the sniffer in the bathroom stall. It wasn't Kramer's fault that the sniffer wasn't actually a coke head.
Newman was phenomenal. He was criminally underutilized.
I would argue that he was utilized the perfect amount.
I love how he's just as much of a narcissist and casual liar as the rest of the group. One of the best side characters of all time.

The way he says “I don’t know.” Perfect delivery.
..Kramer + Newman, .what a duo...!!!
I always said those two could have had a successful spin-off series.
They both risked serious jail time and thousands in fines for perjury over a $75 ticket
That’s what democrats do
$75? Back then? Speeding tickets now are about $400+.....

Seeing newman breakdown was one of the most funniest scenes in the series
I couldn't stop laughing during this scene. It almost had me crying lol.
'I do charity work with the blind in my spare time... for the lighthouse' is an underrated line hahaha
His leaning in to the mic adds to it. XD
Newman’s mental breakdown might be my favorite scene in this show.
“WHY!!!? WHY DID YOU FAIL?!?!?”
Jesus Christ Newman was funny
3:44
Newman being hostile to his own witness 😂
its because you hated your father
Kramer and Newman were essential to the comedy genius of the show
Absolutely !!
Newman should have got multiple acting awards. Simply fantabulous acting.
This is not just one of the funniest episodes of Seinfelt but probably one of the funniest in TV history, absolutely epic and a testament to the Seinfelt show that they had such amazing caracters
I agree
Mr. Bookman was pretty funny.

I don't think it was scripted.

Just like Peterboy slamming the door on Kramer and Kramer does a 360 to the ground like a looney tune@@jay-day
Newman and Kramer are the best duo. When Kramer says Yo Yo Ma. Priceless!
Seriously this is the funniest scene in all the Seinfeld episodes, They are both fantastic and Newman is a legend
Wayne Knight really knocked it out of the park in this one lol. I've read that he has now lost much of his weight and is doing fine. One of my favorite actors!
I'm glad you used his name when talking about him. Most people just call him his character's name.
I saw him on Narcos. He looks great!
Good to hear.
Kramer hit the judge with the flagpole at the end
Now, Kramer would be charged with assault with a weapon!
😂😂😂😂
These two are like a more modern day Abbot and Costello. Chemistry, physical comedy, genius!
The judge is hysterical. I love this scene!
I love the way Newman seems to put special emphasis on the word banker. A genius little comedy detail which starts to get funny after he’s done it a few times.
Haha, yep, that's exactly why I always remember this scene...BANKER~! 😂
Exactly how he emphasized LOATHE (you) when talking to the record store owner.
For a guy who is so out of shape, Newman is incredibly energetic.
He's like a sumo wrestler! 😅
George: He is jolly.
Jerry: He is jolly I’ll give him that.
dodson we got DODSON HERE!!
Newman was animated big time in this scene, especially his freakout when Kramer was unable to corroborate the testimony.
Apparently he studied ballet or something and he learned how to be really light on his feet. You can best see it in the scene where Kramer is chasing the tow truck, while carrying the Risk board and Newman comes striding in behind him at full speed lol.

And the flag is pulled over and hits the judge at the end!!😂😂😂😂😂
An innocent person who wanted nothing more out of life to love, to be loved, and to be a BANK-ER!

Agreed, this is one of the most hilarious set-ups of all time, has me in stitches!!

I love how Newman's antics make Kramer seem normal in comparison.
Over $75 ticket they were ready to risk it all and gave us comedy gold..🤣🤣🤣
Newman; "I demand a recess so that I can take him outside and help him regain his composure!!"😩
Judge; "That'll be $75 dollars!!!" 🧐. Lmao 😆
But it was the manic deli very that made it so funny. 😆😂🤣
The traffic ticket was only 75 dollars. They spent more doing all these shenanigans.
Defence attorney/mailman Newman was absolutely hilarious when his case against a $75.speeding ticket began to crumble.

Newman actually looks like a lawyer. They should have had spinoff show where Newman plays a bumbling lawyer. Would have been a hit!

Wayne Knight really sells the word “banker” every time. He says it with this whimsical gravitas that MAKES it be funny.

Newman was such an underrated character.
Love how Kramer is adversarial and detached while advocating for Newman. 😂
That's because he's got amnesia from getting kicked in the head by crazy Joe kavola. He forgot his part of the story.
