You could say that about any sitcom then. Seinfeld is about childless 90s UWS new yorkers who act very jewish. stuff happens, the characters have arcs, etc.

Exactly. Jerry and Elaine actually come across as bit like old school New England WASPs in that they are just sort of detached from everything and living life without caring too much. Kramer is the comic relief. George is the neurotic, Jewy character.

Elaine is typical shrew trajectory - starts off the series youthful and optimistic working in a field she enjoys even though it doesn't pay all that well. Eventually achieves more success but it unfulfilled by her lot in life and feels superior to every guy she dates, whether it's blue collar chad decent guys like Puddy or white collar guys who are some combo of weird/old/dorky.

Jerry is basically the same except they make his character seem as non-jewey as possible and have him continuously bang chicks way more attractive than him. They do this in all the Adam Sandler movies as well.

jerry is a sarcastic unruffled jew who is actually extremely neurotic under the surface, e.g. cleanliness, who uses humor and sarcasm to cope with his neuroticism.

george is an over-the-top neurotic jew who also uses sarcasm and humor to cope with his neuroticism. the only difference between george and jerry is that jerry has more self-control over not falling victim to his neuroticism. that's why they're best friends.

kramers is a retarded goy for comic relief.

elaine is a promiscuous shiksa.

if you can't tell that this is a jewish show and the product of jewish minds you're retarded. but based on how duplicitous bad-fait liar you are about everything, my guess is that you're a jew yourself.

jason alexander has talked about how the first few seasons he was just doing an over-the-top woody allen impression until he figured out he was supposed to be larry david, who is also jewish to the point of caricature.

oh wow, there was a plotline featuring jews engaging in self-deprecating referential humor? damn, that's solid evidence the show doesn't have people acting jewishly! moron.

how about the plot about jerry's over-the-top jewish parents being cheapskates? nothing jewish about that either!

of course there is. it's a more cynical vs. sentimental plot arc but it's an arc. the three of them do full circles trying to figure out life and end up back in the same place realizing they're as close to being happy hanging out in a crummy apt and eating at the same shitty diner in a city with 20,000 restaurants. Kramer is the constant because he already has this figured out.

It's a lazy meme but it's true of a lot of the episodes in the first few seasons, i.e. the parking garage or the Chinese restaurant episode. It's not true at all of later seasons where there were usually three or four complicated plotlines that all converged.

i.e. after larry david left and the show became progressively sillier and absurd.

in the commentary for those seasons there are so many times someone says "oh larry NEVER would have done something like this!"

what they mean by "about nothing" is that it was only slice-of-life sitcom of its era.

in the 80s every sitcom had to have a hook where the main characters were different than ordinary folks. sam malone is a retired ballplayer who buys a bar, tony mircelli is a retired ballplayer who becomes a housekeeper, cosby is a nigger that actually raises his children well. all of these things have an element of fantasy. seinfeld even stared with that as it was supposed to be about the unusual novelty of being a professional comedian. the whole nbc pilot plot is about creating a show about nothing, i.e. ordinary life, when the studio execs wanted some other hook. that's the whole "sentenced to be my butler" bit.

seinfeld is the show that ushered in the return of "ordinary people" sitcoms like friends and and raymond. in the 80s it was all kitschy shit like alf.

Simpsons is probably a better example even though it's a cartoon. childless 30 somethings living in NYC for no real reason other than inertia is hardly a slice of life.

every sitcom is ultimately about stuff people can relate to regardless of the fantastical premise. cheers is about the "will-they-won't-they" between sam and diane. that's part of what made seinfeld so genius at the time: it recognized that all that kitschy 80s shit was unnecessary. the simpsons being a cartoon *is* the hook. also

haha yeah no 30 something childless new yorkers there for no other reason than inertia! you could walk around new york all day and never run into a family-less 30 something engaging in directionless, mild hedonism!
