I grew up with Seinfeld on the TV. I always loved watching it with my dad, even if as a kid it didn’t make all that much sense. There was a laugh track, so I knew it was supposed to be funny. As I get older and still watch Seinfeld, it’s pure gold and makes adulting make sense. Reading Jerry’s bits is enjoyable because you can hear his voice in your head.

Just a bunch of Jerry’s bits. Reading while watching Seinfeld. Honestly, it’s a perfect night. Literally died on ‘Life Cereal’. A master.

“I still don’t know exactly for sure where jokes come from. I think it’s from some emotional cocktail of boredom, aggression, intense visual acuity and a kind of Silly Putty of the mind that enables you to reform what you see into what you want it to be” (6).
