This drama is basically based on Jerry and George as the main characters, because the creator is Jerry and Larry, so many jokes are based on the real life of these two people. I have to say that this drama is almost a 100% restoration of real life. It is very real. I think this is the reason why Americans like this drama.
Regarding Jerry,
he is a comedian, a bit similar to stand-up comedians in China, but he needs to go all over the place. Most of them perform in clubs, and one person speaks for several hours. His work is not very focused in the play, and his personal life is the highlight. This guy always takes funny as his duty, and he doesn't care about anything. He can be regarded as the most indifferent person. Whenever his friend confided to him misfortune, he always said "It's a pity" or "It must be uncomfortable" without pain, and then continued to tell his own jokes. What I remember most is the episode of Bubble boy. When the bubble boy’s father talked about how he worked so hard to support the family for the poor child, even Elaine couldn’t help wiping her tears with a tissue, but Jerry took it. Wipe your mouth with a tissue. He can be mad at thinking that his dentist converted to Judaism purely for fun. He often breaks up with his girlfriend because of trivial matters, eats pacifiers one by one, has too big hands, always wears a piece of clothing, and so on. In addition, he has a cleanliness (he has been mistaken for homosexuality). He has never lived with anyone. Kramer donated blood to him and he couldn't bear it. Compared to the other three, he rarely encountered embarrassment, but the embarrassment he encountered was also the most interesting, including puffy shirt and Mulva girl. In general, Jerry's performance is not brilliant, just quite satisfactory. His Yanfu is not shallow, and many beautiful female stars have made cameo appearances as his girlfriends.
Elaine
Compared to the heroines of other sitcoms, elaine is not beautiful, nor cute. I think the key is that she is popular because of her extremely happy face. She is not a lady, Kramer said she is a man, and women hate her. However, occasionally, he will be a little birdy in front of his boyfriend, but most of the time it feels like a more arrogant woman. The jokes about her mainly come from interactions with several male protagonists (including always sarcasm George and discussing relationship issues with Jerry) and the strange requests of her bosses. Her work is portrayed the most in the play. She also changed three bosses, Lippman from the publishing house, the strange old man Pitt, and J. Peterman, who sells clothes. These bosses often give her problems, and they always make it difficult for her to deal with them. She was dating a stranger, there were mental patients, communists, and a murderer with the same name, and even tried to reform a homosexual. In the later stage, she has a very strong but a little natural Puddy, and the two separate and reunite until the end of the play.
George Costanza
is a classic character. Many people regard him as a loser, bald, short, stingy, unconfident, living in the shadow of grumpy parents, and cannot bear any dissatisfaction with him. In other words, Jerry said, "You and I are actually the same, but I am more successful than you". It's true that George's life is far from being a loser. Although his job has changed a lot, it is not bad. He has also worked in Yankee. In fact, the biggest problem is that he always fails to see his own advantages. His only shining point is the episode of the opposite. He does everything in the opposite way, which brings good luck. But most of the time he was the happiest one. His mother caught masturbation, was seen shrink, was sent to a mental hospital by his boss, was arrested for selling pirated copies, and so on. Wrote a script, always worried that I could not succeed. After finally getting engaged, I regretted it immediately and tried everything possible to get rid of it. The death of fiancee Susan was also dramatic. He can be regarded as the most typical little person, and he is also the easiest type of person to enter marriage. Sure enough, he got married in the post-biography, and it seems that he invented the iphone mobile phone program itoilet.
Kramer
The funniest character, Jerry's right door, almost depends on Jerry for his life. The sign is a dynamic sliding door (this action is too classic, once the audience applauds when they enter the door for a while, this seems to be an unprecedented honor). He always walks in the door and goes straight to the refrigerator, grabbing and eating. Always break into Jerry's conversations with others. Also a little clumsy and often falls. Extremely honest, speaking unceremoniously, George suffered a lot from it. Good intentions always do bad things. Taking pictures of Elaine makes her show up, giving Jerry ideas but being regarded as mail fraud, helping George's parents-in-law but making her stinky. There are always novel ideas, such as coffee book about coffee table, Ocean perfume, but I have never made a lot of money. He likes to smoke cigars, his hairstyle is old-fashioned, and his pants are always short. He has grassroots friends all over the world, and he can deal with everyone.
Obviously Kramer was just a minor role at first. His lines were the least in the previous seasons. At first, he only had a last name and no first name. However, the superb acting skills of actor Michael Richards made this role the most popular (he won three Emmy Awards). , So his role has increased the most in the next few seasons. I have to say that he has brought vitality to Seinfeld, and the ratings have only begun to exert force after he opened up in the fourth quarter. And whenever he talks in Jerry's living room, the audience will always give the most enthusiastic response. Even if you don't speak, it sometimes makes people laugh. This guy is really good for the audience.
Regarding the supporting roles, the supporting roles of
this drama are also very powerful and full of strength.
The fat postman Newman, who is equivalent to the fifth protagonist, is very aggressive, and every time he goes out to greet Jerry, it is very characteristic. He is a friend of Kramer and also a natural enemy of Jerry.
George's parents are very good, and they explain why there is such a person as George. Hehe, Mr. Jerry Stiller is really funny.
Peterman, the boss of Elaine's later period, is a typical prodigal. His life can be said to be as cool as Kramer, but at the same time a successful businessman.
Jerry's parents and Uncle Leo are both bright spots. Especially Leo, a shrewd Jewish man.
There is also Bania, who is also a comedian, Kramer’s friend, Mickey, a small friend of Kramer, Yankee’s boss Steinbrenner, who has never shown up, and Jackie, a lawyer who likes to use serial adjectives. Even the actors who only appeared in one episode were outstanding, like soup Nazi, Bookman, Bubble boy, Lip reader, Low talker, Mulva.
Many dramas directly adopt self-reality events, and there are many banter on classic films, gags that appear at any time, and famous quotes that appear from time to time, making this TV series extremely close to American life, and it is difficult for the Chinese to understand. . In addition, Chinese people like that kind of emotional comedy. The protagonist of this drama is not good (perhaps many people think that they are wicked). There is never emotional outburst (no hugs, no tears), and it is closer to pure satirical comedy. , I think this is not suitable for Chinese audiences. However, in terms of the intensity of comedy exploration, it is true that other comedies in the same period and beyond are hard to beat. Looking at the ratings of the year, you will know that the next five seasons have always been the No.1 comedy.
This drama has also produced a number of very creative vocabulary, such as double dip, yada yada, regifter, degifter, low talker, high talker, long talker, close talker, spongeworthy, anti-dentite, shrinkage, etc.
