Invent modern-day Seinfeld plots

[mrsfran]

This is one of my favourite Twitter feeds: https://mobile.twitter.com/SeinfeldToday?p=s

Some gems:

- Jerry discovers Newman is secretly an Internet famous fan fiction writer. George gets aroused reading 50 Shades of Gray, questions self.

- Elaine is caught on video laughing at 9/11 memorial. @Gawker posts it & turns her into a pariah. Kramer claims to have invented the Snuggie.

- Kramer fights with an Apple Genius. Elaine dates a hot subway conductor. Jerry gets an offer to "ghost tweet" the Kelloggs feed.

- Kramer uses Kickstarter to fund a line of dog tasers. "Tasers for dogs to protect themselves. To protect themselves, Jerry! "

And one that I made up:

-Elaine thinks she went to school with Adele. Jerry dumps his girlfriend for retweeting everything he says.

Can you make up your own? Go!

Jerry refuses to give Kramer his WiFi password. George starts a war against organic food. Elaine dates a Romney son.

love it

[Stigmata]

George's uncanny Barack Obama impersonation leads to accusations of racism. Elaine is waiting for her favourite novel to lapse into public domain so she can get it on her Kindle without paying.

Over-rated, unfunny, self-regarding shite climbs up its own arse and congratulates its colon.

It wasn't funny. It was whiny, indulgent, insular, bollocks by and for a parochial metropolitan elite. Which might have been OK had it been funny, but it failed to make the universal from the particular, and instead said nothing at all to the majority of viewers.

I think quite a few million people would disagree with that. I enjoyed it as a 16 y.o. country bumpkin. Also, bizarre that you think "it failed to make the universal from the particular" - why else would it have sold to so many countries?

It spoke to the kind of person who commissions TV shows.

It spoke to millions of people. It's not for nothing that characters from the show went on to become cultural touchstones for a generation of TV viewers. I've no problem with you hating it, but that's no reason to mischaracterise it.

I'm characterising the reasons I hated it.

[danny la rouge]

Yes, the majority of people with a TV in the UK avoided the programme. True fact.

I bet you don't like my two dads either.

Which is true for every TV programme. Must do better.

Is it a TV show, or your family circumstances? If the former, I haven't seen it.

What were its UK ratings?

Greg Evigan!!

 

[butchersapron]

What were its UK ratings?

Shovelled it onto really late night BBC2 slot. Almost like they were working against it's success.

 

[danny la rouge]

Greg Evigan!!

I've never seen this man in my life.

 

[Idris2002]

How I Met Your Mother - now that's a good sitcom.

 

[butchersapron]

I've never seen this man in my life.

I envy you in that case. You have many happy years of evigan-related viewing yet to come.

Ah, yes, the Beeb does that. But still, I'll wager it had low viewing figures.

 

[TruXta]

They weren't great. Does that say anything about quality in and of itself?

It did. But was great.

I doubt that. I've just been looking at his CV. Hmmm. Not tempted.

Nothing much; I was replying to something you asked of me.

Which came in reply to your statement that it said nothing to no-one in the UK. Which was clearly bollocks.

I wouldn't have said anything so ungrammatical, unless in jest. I said it "said nothing at all to the majority of viewers". Clearly, since viewing figures were low, this is true.

Viewers of Seinfeld or just viewers?
