Jerry finds Seinfeld just as hilarious as fans do. The sitcom ran its episodes for almost a decade, racking up 180 episodes. For all the perfect masterpieces that found their way to the screen, there were plenty of bloopers that Seinfeld fans didn’t get to watch.
Thanks to the internet, viewers have seen a few epic behind-the-scene outtakes. While the sitcom is one of the funniest to ever show on TV, the makings are even funnier. Even Jerry Seinfeld, a comedian who rarely laughs at his jokes on stand-up, couldn’t keep it together during this scene with Michael Richards.
Even Jerry Couldn't Stop Laughing In A Scene With Kramer Smoking
Hardcore Seinfeld fans never have enough of the show and its gag reels, with the likes of Michael Richards putting on some timeless scenes. Even casual viewers get drawn to the comedy behind the making of the sitcom.
Arguably, one of the best episodes on the show, The Abstinence, shows George getting smarter because he’s been abstaining from sex. Elaine wants her boyfriend to pass his exams and suggests abstinence to make him smarter like George. On the other hand, Kramer has been fueling his new smoking addiction.
Kramer turns his apartment into a smoking lounge. Little does he know that due to being an active and passive smoker, his face takes a huge hit and becomes crinkly and rubbery. In the blooper, Kramer walks into Jerry’s apartment with a pipe in his mouth. Jerry immediately giggles and looks away. The scene is already spoiled and needs to be retaken.
After the cut, Kramer says he is ready for a new shot. Jerry begins, “It’s from all that smoke. You’ve experienced a lifetime of smoking in 72 hours.” Laugh tracks follow, and Jerry almost breaks out of character while saying his line, “What did you expect?” The camera moves from Jerry’s face to Kramer’s, and he can’t keep a straight face either.
The blooper cuts into another shot where Kramer says this hilarious line while showing a concerned face, “Jerry, you know my face is my livelihood.” The laugh tracks follow once again, and Jerry begins to crack a smile as Kramer continues his revelation with a straight face, “You know everything I have I owe to my face. My allure, you know, my twinkle!”
Jerry moves his hands to his mouth to show Kramer that he has something in his mouth. The camera moves to Kramer, and he asks, “What?” while touching his mouth. Hilariously, Jerry can’t get himself to go past Kramer’s funny facial look and says, “Your teeth are all brown.”
Kramer, still in character, shakes his head and says, “No, look away, I’m hideous.” He begins to walk away from the apartment, hand on face. Jerry breaks again into laughter, ending the scene and marking the end of one of the greatest Seinfeld bloopers.
Seinfeld Was Full Of Bloopers And Outtakes
Ironically, for a show about nothing, Seinfeld has everything it takes to crack your ribs. Besides being well-written, the show has one of the funniest cast members ever to grace TV. Their chemistry was brilliant, and they were so funny.
The popular blooper with Julia Louis-Dreyfus and Jason Alexander allegedly took too long to film because they couldn’t stop laughing. Jerry Stiller took out Julia, Jason, and the viewers with his famous line, “You saying you want a piece of me?” Julia revealed that this was her best blooper ever.
Another iconic Seinfeld outtake that didn’t make it to the final cut shows Michael chugging down a whole pint of beer with a cigarette in his mouth. He then belches while blowing smoke, smacks his lips, and shouts, “It’s d*** good beer!”
Julia laughs because she can’t get through the lines, “50,000 Yen, isn’t that a few hundred dollars?” Jerry and Michael aren’t spared either.
Fans Were Shocked The Cast Got Anything Accomplished On Seinfeld
Seinfeld fans were quick to comment on the blooper to say how much they loved the show and the scenes that didn’t make the final cut. One fan commented how surprising it is that half the film turned into bloopers because of laughing. It’s evident that the cast had fun making the show because they seemed to be laughing after every line in the bloopers.
Other fans chimed in and said how they died laughing while watching the scene that made the final cut. Another remembered how they crawled like a worm on the floor, dying out of laughter after watching the episode.
Both casual viewers and die-hard fans agree that Seinfeld is one of the most hilarious sitcoms ever made. Watching the gag reels, one can’t help but wonder how the cast ever completed the series while laughing and breaking out of character with every passing joke.
Seinfeld continues to resonate with new generations of viewers thanks to its timeless jokes, comedically cracking casts, and hysterical bloopers. Jerry Seinfeld still makes much money from Seinfeld, but his co-stars make little in comparison.
