   Seinfeld was about Nothing. Literally, nothing making it into something. the day to day events that everyone experienced as more than nothing but daily occurrences.
   
   how can that be a Shit show? it was brilliant. Larry David is a Brilliant Cock Sucker who stole ideas from the web and tavern room talk.

   It was never a "show about nothing", people take the one pitch episode as if it's talking about the show itself but it's not. Seinfeld is a show about how comedians get their material. It's literally explicitly expressed in every single episode with the standup bits.

   Yeah.. they steal it including from others. But Larry David and Jerry were interviewed who said this literally how it was approached to Larry
   
   so there is more than a small element of truth to it. and the show evolved from the standups being longer in the start to it no referencing much shit in the upcoming episode.. or very little dialogue to explain.
   
   I mean there is truth in both and in both they relate in a way.

   Can anyone explain to me why Seinfield is so popular? I never saw it because I don't think it even aired here and I have no frame of reference other than random bits and memes I've seen on the internet.

    Shit, they’re all good. One that comes to the top of my head is the one where George gets the frogger machine.

    It was very radically new and revolutionary when it was released. If you watch it now, you won't really "get" why it got so popular in the first place, because it was so popular and revolutionary that everyone and their uncle copied the balls off its new ideas and as a result, watching it now, it might seem kind of worn out. But when it was first aired, it was iconoclastic in every way. For example they had rules like "no hugging, no learning": the characters are unabashedly capable of being shithead assholes, because they're not moral paragons and "good guys" who will do things that inconvenience them just to help someone else out.
    
    Similarly, there is no feel-good success at the end of every episode. More often than not, the characters will simply fail at whatever they do in one way or the other. There's no real progression. There's not even really an overarching plot or anything to move towards. Everything is just in service of comedy. It's a kind of breaking of the shackles; each episode has a new premise and there's no real continuity, it's just whatever it needs to be so it can be funny.
    The following users say it would be alright if the author of this post didn't die in a fire!

    That's the point. Watch more of it, it's amazing once you get into the groove.
