Perfect summary of art imitating life. Our house has Seinfeld for hours while we cook or do chores. Their voices are our comfort blankets that we immerse in and then do quotes while we are out in the real world. Sometimes you come across another fan who is familiar with the dialogue and says the next line or just a random one from the same episode.

I think this video does miss one key point: Seinfeld is always comedy. Most sit-coms lapse into more serious emotions: heartfelt episodes, "important" moments, must-see events. They mix in these supposedly deep emotional moments that Seinfeld assiduously avoids. Seinfeld is always about making you laugh, full stop.

What makes it the greatest sitcom ever is that it is the most relatable sitcom ever. So much of the episodes are about the minutiae of life we all experience. It’s why it will still be on tv in 50 years

My favorite comedy show of all time. Even the very last scene of the series summed it up. They went to jail for being bad people, and they didn't even really care. Just talked about what to do next.

Never realized how depressing Seinfeld is, but that’s what makes it hilarious

As a cynic, Seinfeld appeals to me on a profound level
