which is more cordial than the cold literal translation such as "Thornfield".
When it comes to American dramas, especially sitcom, everyone thinks of Friends without exception. Anyone who has seen Seinfeld,
without exception, thinks that Friends cannot be compared with Seinfeld at all, eh. Although the six-person line is also a very good-looking sitcom.
Look at the surface data-most of them come from wiki.
Ratings:
Friends are 94-03 played, Seinfeld is 89-98, the overlapping part is 94-98, the following table is the ratings comparison:
Friends(#Rating) Seinfeld(# Rating)
1994-1995 9 1
1995-1996 3 2
1996-1997 4 2
1997-1998 4 1
Award:
Both people have a long list, which is dazzling. To summarize:
Seinfeld (9 quarters): 10 Emmy, 3 Golden Globes;
Friends (10 quarters): 6 Emmy, 1 Golden Globes. The
Emmy and the Golden Globes are probably the two more heavyweight awards in the United States?
In a selection of the Greatest show of all time by the TV guide editor,
Seinfeld ranked first, and Friends was about 20.
In addition:
On the wiki, each episode of Seinfeld has a wiki page, but Friends does not.
I thought carefully about why Seinfeld was not as popular as the Six-person Association in China:
1. It is a long time ago, and the years from 1989 to 1998 belonged to the pre-information age. It is still difficult for us to touch the stuff of the U.S. Emperors, and the Six-person Association only ended in 2003. At this time, the Internet has become very popular.
2. It's a long time ago. At first glance, I think the characters in it are rustic, the costumes of the scene, etc.
3. Song Fei belongs to the slow-heat type. I didn't feel very invincible after watching the pilot at the time. After watching a few episodes patiently, I gradually became better.
4. There are no subtitles. In recent years, the United States has started to rebroadcast and release DVDs before it has English subtitles. The domestic subtitle group has done subtitles for the first two seasons, which is not bad. According to reports, Zhutai’s subtitles are often gray, but unfortunately I missed it. The pirated discs outside are all machine translation + a little manual intervention, which is very poor.
Seinfeld is a standup comedian, a strange profession. Basically, there will be some Comedy club calls on weekends to make a set. The club is not like Huang Zihua, which has thousands of spectators in the Red Hall or Iraq Hall. Usually there are dozens of people. Everyone drinks beer and looks at the standup. There are usually several people in one night, and each person does it for half an hour and an hour. Song Fei could only be regarded as a small celebrity at the time, but his income was not fixed, and he had to fly to a different city to do a show when he called, or cancel tonight's income with a call. I usually chat with my neighbors and friends, watch movies, and bubble girls.
The main screenwriter, Larry David, is a bald, uncomfortable classmate, and George Costanza in the play was created based on him. Because of the excellent writing of S04E11 The contest in the play, he won the grand prize.
As the introduction above said, Seinfeld doesn’t have any theme. In the play, Seinfeld plays himself. The friends and neighbors in the play come from his real life. The most common scene in the play is in the living room of Seinfeld’s house. Then there is Monk's cafe, their favorite fast food restaurant. The characters in the play have no heroes, no sweet love, and even selfish and boring petty citizens.
In the play, Larry David also used George's mouth to express the characteristics of the film:
George and Jerry chat in the cafe
George: See, that's the show.
Jerry: what is the show?
George: This. This talking.
Jerry: right.. ...
George: I am serious. This talking is the show.
Jerry: A show about what?
George: It's about nothing! Everybody is doing something, we are doing NOTHING!
George is selling his about to NBC CEO
George: What do you do today?
President of NBC: I got up and come to work.
George: That's the show.
President of NBC: That's it? nothing happen?
George: Nothing!
President of NBC: Then why people watch it?
George: Because it is on TV!
Song Fei (Jerry Seinfeld): The
biggest fun is to make fun of his friend George. I often stop dating some girls for some stupid little reasons. For example: "When she eats beans, she eats them one by one", "Her hands are like men's".
In one episode, George mentioned that he wanted to participate in a charity work and asked Seinfeld if he wanted to be together. Seinfeld flatly refused. George despised and said: "what kind of person are you?!" Song Fei: "I think i am mostly like you, only successful~".
George even wanted to escape a friend’s responsibility to take care of a child, saying that he was going to France for a business trip, and Seinfeld’s parents were going to travel in France. George asked them to lie like you. After arriving in France, he sent a postcard to his friends and children in the name of George. Song Fei’s parents were puzzled by George’s behavior, so they asked Song Fei Why? Song Fei said: "Because George is a deeply disturbed individual"...
George:
Considered the greatest role in sitcom. He is also a personal favorite character, a bald and neurotic short fat man. His bald head is also the subject of frequent jokes in this play.
For example, in The fix up, Elaine wanted to introduce him to her friend S, and then E and S had such a dialogue:
S: what does he look like?
E (awkward): he is kind of... just kind of..er...losing his hair.
S(surprised):he is bald?!!
E:No! No....he is balding..
S:So he will be bald.
E:Yes !
And George is very inferior to himself. There is an episode of George and his friends sighing hard. Suddenly Elaine saw a beautiful woman in Monk's cafe and urged George to come over. George said with a serious face: "Elaine, a man with no hair, no jobs, and no money, who lives with his parents, will not approach strange women". To diverge, in this episode, Seinfeld urges him, if you think your life is a complete failure, then To act the other way around is to succeed.
If all of your judgments are wrong, then as long as you think in the opposite direction every time, you are definitely right. If your instinct thinks you shouldn't strike up a conversation, then on the contrary, you were right to strike up a conversation in the past. So George really went to strike up a conversation. The opening remarks were: HI,
My name is George, i'm unemployed, and i'm living with my parents. He went to the Yankees as an assistant.
George has also been portrayed as a master who likes to talk and is good at talking. His motto is: It's not a lie if you believe it. It can be called the highest state of lying. But he is also a person who can't hide secrets, especially the gossip of so-and-so. Even though the person concerned will not let him speak out, he basically can't keep the secret for a few hours.
The sweatiest thing is that George later hooked up with a girlfriend, Susan, decided to get married, and called his mother to announce the good news. His mother didn't believe it at all and asked
Susan to talk to him. Susan: "I just want you to know i love your son very much."
George'mom:"Really??"
Susan:"Yes".
George'mom:" May i know why?"
After getting engaged, George's friend accidentally wanted to introduce him to Marisa Tomei, a big beauty star. Because Marisa liked George and this type of bald, short and fat man, George began to wonder whether he was engaged to Susan in the first place. As the wedding day approached, George became more and more uneasy. He tried every means to postpone or cancel the marriage contract, and even thought of taking refuge in China and disappearing. Elaine suggested that he might as well pretend that you are a smoker, because women hate smokers, George bought a pack of cigarettes and smoked it in front of Susan deliberately, but instead he couldn't stand the choking smell and gave up. Kramer suggested that he ask Susan to sign a pre-marital property notarization, because women hate this. I didn't expect that this idea was proposed to Susan, and Susan ridiculed him: "Property notarization?!! Haha, you have nothing, I earn. Much better than you?! Hahahaha, bring that piece of paper, and I will sign it!" Then there was no way, George also resigned, and before preparing for the wedding, he went to buy the envelope of the wedding invitation card. George bought it cheaply. Envelopes containing poisonous glue are often inferior. Susan licked the glue of the envelope when sealing the invitation card and it turned upright. . . The first thing George learned of this news in the hospital was to call Marisa Tomei and say he was available again. . .
Kramer:
In one word, it is eccentric. It is considered to be "embrace the opposite philosophy of life and reject the general code of conduct that is widely accepted by society."
Song Fei moved to the opposite side of Kramer's apartment on the first day. To show his friendship, he told him that he was okay, so he would come over and sit down. So from then on, Kramer really came to visit the door as soon as he had nothing to do, and never knocked on the door and glide directly into the door. The iconic action is very classic. You don't need to ask the owner to go through the refrigerator to grab food and drink. Once suddenly he wanted to go to Hollywood to find a job but was caught as a serial killer. In one episode, the high-level theory published is also very exciting: In the
play, Song Fei found out that he had no family and no children in his 30s. He was boring and boring in the cafe with his friends and friends. He felt that he wanted to change his life and find a woman to marry. Give birth. When he told Kramer of this idea, Gao Lun appeared:
Jerry: I had a very interesting lunch with George Costanza.
Kramer: Really?
Jerry: We were talking about our lives, and we both kind of realized we're kids; we're not men.
Kramer: So then you asked yourselves, "Isn't there something more to life?"
Jerry: Yes! We did!
Kramer: Yeah, well, let me clue you in on something: there isn't.
Jerry: There isn't?
Kramer: Absolutely not. I mean, what are you thinking about Jerry? Marriage? Family?
Jerry: Well ...
Kramer: They're prisons! Man-made prisons. You're doing time! You get up in the morning, she's there. You go to sleep at night, she's there. It's like you gotta ask permission to use the bathroom. (pleading voice) "Is it all right if I use the bathroom now?"
Jerry: Really?
Kramer: Yeah, and you can forget about watching TV while you're eating.
Jerry: I can?
Kramer: Oh, yeah! You know why? Because it's dinner time. And you know what you do at dinner?
Jerry: What?
Kramer: You talk about your day! "How was your day today? Did you have a good day today or a bad day today? Well, what kind of day was it? I don't know, how'bout you, how was your day?"
Jerry: Boy!
Kramer: It's sad, Jerry. It's a sad state of affairs.
Jerry: I'm glad we had this talk.
Kramer: Oh, you have no idea!
Elaine:
Song Fei 'S ex-girlfriend, the biggest wish is to date a doctor. My eyes shine when I see a handsome guy. The dance is ugly but feels good about myself.
In one episode, four people talked at Monk's cafe about some women who would fake orgasm during have sex... and then there was a funny conversation:
George: You faked?
Elaine: On occasion.
Jerry: And the guy never knows?
Elaine: No.
Jerry: How can he not know that?
Elaine: Because I was gooood.
Jerry: I guess after that many beers he's probably a little groggy anyway.
Elaine: DID not know by You
Jerry: the What the About at the Breathing, panting at the ... at the Moaning, at the Screaming?
Elaine: {} Smiles Fake, Fake ... Fake, Fake!
Highlight
impression in 9 seasons aired twice highlights .
The first time was the hundredth episode, and the second time was before the last episode.
Highlights in the impression:
George was unemployed, and the investigator asked him about his recent interview experience in order to confirm whether he was actively looking for a job instead of cheating for relief because of his taste and laziness. George fabricated a vain company, Vanderlay Industries, thinking that it could be fooled. Unexpectedly, the investigators were chasing after him. George must provide the phone number and address of Vanderlay Industries for later verification. In desperation, George had to provide Jerry Seinfeld's phone number. Then he hurried back to Jerry's house and asked him to pretend to be an employee of Vanderlay Industries when he answered the phone. Later Work in Vanderlay Industries became synonymous with unemployment in the American language.
Jerry rented a car at the airport, but the car rental company told him that the car he had previously booked had been rented out, so Gao Lun appeared again:
Agent: I'm sorry, we have no mid-size available at the moment.
Jerry: I don't understand , I made a reservation, do you have my reservation?
Agent: Yes, we do, unfortunately we ran out of cars.
Jerry: But the reservation keeps the car here. That's why you have the reservation.
Agent: I know why we have reservations.
Jerry: I don't think you do. If you did, I'd have a car. See, you know how to
take the reservation, you just don't know how to *hold* the reservation and
that's really the most important part of the reservation, the holding. Anybody
can just take them.
George went swimming after changing clothes in the locker room The woman in the wrong door saw the thing and was ridiculed for being too small. George was very upset, thinking it was because she just came out of the cold swimming pool to shrink. . .
So I asked Jerry to complain:
George: They're worse! They're much worse than us, they talk about
everything! Couldn't you at least tell her about the shrinkage factor?
Jerry: No, I'm not gonna tell her about your shrinkage. Besides, I think
women know about shrinkage.
George: How do women know about shrinkage? (They see Elaine walking down
the hall) Elaine! Get! (She enters) Do women know about shrinkage?
Elaine: What do you mean , like laundry?
George: No.
Jerry: Like when a man goes swimming... afterwards...
Elaine: It shrinks?
Jerry: Like a frightened turtle!
Elaine: Why does it shrink?
George: It just does.
Elaine: I don't know how you guys walk around with those things.
The analogy of the Frightened turtle in it is really...
There is also a section of Kramer telling him about fighting gangsters bravely on the bus:
Jerry: Well I didn't want her to have an accident.
George: What accident?
Kramer : Well after he heckled Toby, she got so upset she ran out of the building and a street sweeper ran over her foot and severed her pinky toe!
George: That's unbelievable!
Kramer: Yeah, and after the ambulance left I found the toe. So I put it in a Cracker Jack box, filled it with ice and took off for the hospital.
George: You ran!?
Kramer: No I jumped on the bus. I told the driver "I got a toe here buddy, step on it!"
George: Holy cow!
Kramer: Yeah, yeah, then all of a sudden, this guy pulls out a gun. Well, I knew any delay is gonna cost her her pinky toe, so I got out of the seat and I started walking towards him. He says, "Where do you think you're going, Cracker Jack?" I said, "Well , I got a little prize for ya, buddy-"
George: How could you do that!?
Kramer: Then everybody is screamin,' because the driver, he's passed out from all the commotion...the bus is out of control! So, I grab him by the collar, I take him out of the seat, I get behind the wheel and now I'm drivin' the bus.
George: You're Batman
Kramer: Yeah. Yeah, I am Batman. Then the mugger, he comes to, and he starts chokin' me! So I'm fightin' him off with one hand and I kept drivin' the bus with the other, y'know? Then I managed to open up the door, and I kicked him out the door with my foot, you know-at the next stop.
Jerry:(Incredulous)You kept making all the stops!?
Kramer: Well, people kept ringing the bell!
There is also George madly eating shrimp in the meeting room and was teased by his colleagues: "The ocean called, they're running out of shrimp", George felt very embarrassed, and suddenly thought of a good come back on the way from work: "The Jerk store called, they're running out of you!", after I went back, I asked Jerry to bluff about what a good come back he thought of. Jerry said it’s better to say: "Your skull called, it's running out of brain", Kramer told him, the most The poisonous come back should be "I slept with your wife" -_-||...George still insists that his "Jerk store" is the best, finally let him find the opportunity to have a meeting with his colleague, and finally waited there A smirk that made him dream about: The ocean called they are running out of shrimp.. George triumphantly: "The jerk store called, they're running out of you!" difference, you are their best-seller of all time!"..囧rz..
So many great clips and so many wonderful lines, Spongeworthy by Elaine, Master of domain by Jerry, and out of the contest by Kramer, George's king of idiot... can't help but laugh in retrospect.
It’s a pity that there is no such a fun drama again. Although it lasted for nearly 10 years and a total of 180 episodes, I still feel that it is still unfinished, but The finale finally arrived. In this episode, Jerry and other four live treasures ran to Massachusetts. When a robber robbed passersby not only did not provide help, but stood on the side of the road and laughed at the victim’s obesity, but they were punished by law because of this, because Massachusetts just promulgated a law: Witnesses who do not provide help to the victim Must go to jail. The prosecutors of Massachusetts summoned the four former friends and relatives of the four live treasures to the court, so most of the characters in the first 180 episodes are all in this episode. You will expose the "selfishness and ugliness" of the four of them before. By the way, highlight the previous plot. . . The judge was also angry when he heard so many evil deeds, saying that being able to send the malignant tumors of these four societies to prison was the greatest thing in his career as a judge. So Jerry continued to talk about his jokes in the prison. After the night was quiet, the four live treasures were sitting across from the cell, just as they had been chatting in Monk's cafe. Jerry noticed the second button of George's shirt again and started. Laughing at its position too close to the neck. Suddenly realized that in the first episode of the pilot ten years ago, they were also sitting in Monk's cafe, discussing the height of the second button of the shirt, and The finale ended here. . .
The finale
has always wanted to write something about Seinfeld , but every time I am worried about writing it, I must be full of highlights in the play, and then it must be full of quotes. . The biggest feature of line quotes is that people who have watched the show will smile knowingly, and those who have not watched it will only feel inexplicable. Facts have proved that this is true. The citations account for most of the space. At the beginning, there is still a bit of thinking, and the more it diverges later. But it doesn't matter, it's good to see for yourself and entertain yourself. As George said, "What's so great? It's just sitcom". What awards have you ever won, The greatest show of all time, So what? It's just a sitcom. It's just entertainment, why must there be a main line? Why is there a plot? Why must there be a central idea? Why must it be thought-provoking? What must be praised, and what must be denounced? It's enough to have seen it and laughed.
