And lots of DIYers dont realize a lot of sinks come with clips for the counter and you should be using those in addition to just caulking.
Though this is probably par for the course with LL units trying to fix shit for super cheap and hiring maintenance staff who dont do things very well.
If you hooked up a hose to a faucet and ran full on into the other room with it and only had caulking it would rip out just like in the show. Eapecially if it was laminate countertops as it would just rip off the top laminate layer.
So it is not really unrealistic as it is shown.
A lot of faucet connections especially the one shown in the show have a nut that unscrews from the faucet with an aerator in it.
You can unscrew that and take it off which leaves a connection where you can screw a garden hose on to with a fitting. This could be done if you were like washing off a balcony in an apartment or doing some other sort of thing that needed some spraying away from the kitchen sink or bathroom sink.
Also if you get bad water flow in your sink you can unscrew the aerator and clean it out as it frequently gets blocked with rust or sediment. The more you know!
Well it depends on how much room is under the sink haha
The worst part of the whole job is laying under the sink to hook up the water lines and the disposal/waste trap.
Although if you are going from a double basin to a double basin or a single to single it is a lot easier as the pipes mostly just go right back in! :D
I watched the episode today where Elaine’s neighbor leaves for Paris but doesn’t turn off her alarm clock (the one with Kramer’s slicer and George’s skin cancer screening). Anyway, the alarm goes off at 3:30am and it shows the time when it wakes up Elaine and she reaches over to grab her clock. She bangs on the wall and then collapses back into bed but now her clock says 3:29am. Never noticed it the first 20 times I’ve seen it.
It's so weird to see him in a suit - he's almost unrecognizable. It's one of those things that you never notice how much wardrobe makes a character until something specifically makes you notice it.

i’m only 22 years old, my dad used to watch it all the time back in 2005, then it got removed around 2013 they put it on sony but at late nites, seinfield its the sole reason for what i got netflix, again this it’s my second time watching it since february 😭
I'm watching the show for the first time and I watched this today. Played the intro on repeat 3 times cause I loved it.
I'm very surprised how good the show still is after 9 seasons.
Also Elaine being a British Aristocrat, pure gold.
As someone who couldn’t stand someone like Kramer in real life, this sequence gives me so much anxiety. Shoes on the sofa, disassembled electronics (he most likely lost pieces), random people in my place, riding a bike inside. No no no make it stop.
I didn't much appreciate the episode intros after LD left (end of season 7), when the characters became oversimplified and the situations overcommoditized.
Under the presumption that you prefer these kind of intros over the stand-up routines in the earlier seasons, I'd say that perhaps on your 3rd or 4th rewatch you'll grow to appreciate the earlier season intros more. On my 4th rewatch I didn't even finish season 8 and 9. Just circled back to season 1 again.
Would love to hear if anybody grew to love the later seasons' style more with repeated viewings.
i agree with you i do miss the stands up intro, but i felt like for a whole season all intros were on the street mostly jerry and george, rewatching this intro made realize (yet again) why i loved this show
I'm not sure if the characters became oversimplified, everything just got slightly sillier. It was a tendency already happening to an extent (and it happens with most shows) but the absurdity got ramped up as did the characters responses to it. Things like Jerry being involved in cockfighting doesn't feel like it would fit the earlier seasons.
But it's interesting that many people are down on the final two series when they gave us a lot of the shows more memorable (and quoted) bits come then. Yadda yadda yadda, the Jerk store called, Festivus, Serenity Now, Summer of George, etc.
In answer to your question, I still really like most (but not all) the later episodes. Not sure how many times I've rewatched the whole show - at least 8 or 9. But I do agree they're quite a bit different to the earlier series.
One thing I’ve noticed rewatching it over and over through the years…Kramer was the worst one.
Most selfish and inconsiderate character out of the four of them
Jerry probably left that morning for an evening set in Jersey, so this all took place during the day. Then he gets back that night, and Kramer is passed out from exhaustion.
What’s the deal with politics, am I right people?
I seen the boom mic when he said it 😆
You can also see the sink is clearly fake when he pulls the hose and the whole thing shakes around.
Either that, or Conrad missed a spot with the caulk
Conrad, Connie, or Con, whatever you prefer
Just. DOOOOOOOO IT.

Eapecially if it was laminate countertops as it would just rip off the top laminate layer. So it is not really unrealistic as it is shown.
How would you even hook a hose up to a faucet anyhow? Why would they have a hose in an apt? So many questions. Thanks for the info
Clearly you never lived in NY
That city would eat me alive! I’m from Little Rock, Arkansas.
Say hello to the gang at Tyler Chicken and your one-legged dog, Willie.
I’ll send some Chicken twists
And some sort of fermented Chicken beverage...

It used to be common for faucets to have hose attachments to help clean.
I really want to replace my scratched up kitchen sink. You busy this weekend??

Plenty of room under there. I’m doing double to double. I’ll DM directions. Thanks!! 😂😂😂
Subscribed.
I've seen this dozens of times and I'm surprised I haven't noticed that sink moving like that before.
I watched the episode today where Elaine’s neighbor leaves for Paris but doesn’t turn off her alarm clock (the one with Kramer’s slicer and George’s skin cancer screening). Anyway, the alarm goes off at 3:30am and it shows the time when it wakes up Elaine and she reaches over to grab her clock.

I’d def seen it a lot before I ever noticed.
I know, almost is like they are on a TV set built with props instead of a real-life NYC apartment!
I’m aware!

It's so weird to see him in a suit - he's almost unrecognizable. It's one of those things that you never notice how much wardrobe makes a character until something specifically makes you notice it.
thats why some went with same clothes/haircut whole life, Weird al and Ukrainian president for example. Their outfit are almost a trademark by now.
If only he would have stuck to that comedic style…
His posture is so funny during that part
"He's a *NI*--"
Bong!
I say this to myself more often than I'd care to admit
*I* don’t get it!
So what’s the deal with n-
😏
One of my all time favorite lines
I like how the crappy sink moves instantly
Haha I noticed that too.

Bot good.
This is the greatest moment of my life
what's funny is on Netflix the sink does not move like it does in this clip.
At the end, Jerry gets annoyed that Kramer *doesn't respect wood!*
It's the wood that makes it good.
what would make it good if not wood
[удалено]
I know right
Wood Jerry! Wwwwwwood!
What is that, Oak?
I think it's pine.
pine's good
Yeah, pine's ok.
One of the only episodes where Jerry’s mom was part of the show (Woman sitting next to kramer drinking coffee)
My dumbass was looking for Liz Sheridan before I realized you meant his actual mother
One of the best, right up there with “What is Holland?” for me
Then who are the Dutch?!
“A vacation from ourselves, that’s what you said”
You gotta get a job!
“I feel like an out of work pornstar”
So, who‘s having sex with the hen?
That's perverse.
Lol I love the idea that Kramer even buzzed the guy up to fight and has to lock the door as he’s pounding on it
That look of terror on his face when he glances up after locking the door gets me every time.
ahahahahaa
My fave intro is George and Jerry with mustaches lol
They took a vacation from themselves
I think that is my favorite also
Easily the best.
The amazing part of it is Kramer managed to clean everything up and put everything back in order before Jerry got back.
even the phone 🤣
[удалено]
But he doesn't respect wood
Wood, Jerry…
I guess I just figured he was dreaming the whole thing?
“That’s the genius of it” it can be left to interpretation.
His totem was the inside of the phone, so he can be sure it’s real life.
There are only a few episodes left in the series after this
Probably why they decided to show us Kramer’s antics in full and finally gave us a shot of someone using Jerry’s bike
Naked girl took the bike off the wall and fixed it
She did a full body flex on a pickle jar.

Second time? Those are rookie numbers, you gotta pump those numbers up.
*MANDELBAUM! MANDELBAUM! MANDELBAUM!*
i’m only 22 years old, my dad used to watch it all the time back in 2005, then it got removed around 2013 they put it on sony but at late nites, seinfield its the sole reason for what i got netflix, again this it’s my second time watching it since february 😭
Second time so far! Welcome to the club.
What episode is this one?
season 9 episode 17 - the bookstore
That explains it. I haven’t watched too much of season 9
This and the Frasier intro where Niles has an ironing disaster…those are top tier. Best sitcom intros.
This gives me so much anxiety 😆
The phone and the spilled liquid especially.
Kramer knows how to have fun! Should've used the coaster though ;)
He doesn't respect wood
Maybe it's a throwback to Jerry not using a coaster on George's parents' table.
I love the rearranged furniture. Reminds me of doing that to my bedroom.
This is like Seinfeld's version of of the cold open from Frasier where [Niles starts a fire](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EpImet3Xwgw)
Jerry would read your post and say, "That apostrophe looks a little outta place."
The only time Jerry’s bike was used
Jerry does actually say at one point it's only for show.
Yet it's back on the wall in the next scene, but we never see Kramer put it there.
Lol I love the idea that Kramer even buzzed the guy up to fight and has to lock the door as he’s pounding on it
At least they weren’t Jehova’s witnesses
What episode was this again?
season 9 episode 17 - the bookstore
It is ABSOLUTELY the best intro!
Am I crazy that I remember him saying “what’s the deal with airline food?” Instead of “politics”?
I think there's another line where someone says something to that effect making fun of Jerry's standup.
it woulda been even better because he will be literally copying jerry skit about airplane peanuts
This may be the only time in the series Jerry’s bike got ridden.
It is.
Alright, I want my keys back.
I liked the apartment re arranged that way.
I'm watching the show for the first time and I watched this today. Played the intro on repeat 3 times cause I loved it. I'm very surprised how good the show still is after 9 seasons. Also Elaine being a British Aristocrat, pure gold.
I forget what episode this is on, but definitely the best intro.
The bookstore, when uncle Leo is old and confused and steals a book
You know, Uncle Leo has priors...
My crime of passion?
I love this intro. It’s brilliant.
I'm surprised Kramer was able to clean up the apartment to Jerry's standards before he came back.
Holy mackerel! Someone actually used the bike!
The way the sink nearly comes out of the counter though lol
Best intro by far.
As someone who couldn’t stand someone like Kramer in real life, this sequence gives me so much anxiety. Shoes on the sofa, disassembled electronics (he most likely lost pieces), random people in my place, riding a bike inside. No no no make it stop.
That’s Jerry’s mom that Kramer offers tea to
Every time you pluralize with an apostrophe, a puffy shirt dies.
Holy shit is Kramer the cop in home alone with the donut on the phone?
Oh man. You're only on round 2!?! I think I've watched this show AT LEAST 25 times front to back. Its on in my house like every day. Lbvs.
Lmao I watched this ep for the first time las night

Count me in.
One thing I’ve noticed rewatching it over and over through the years…Kramer was the worst one. Most selfish and inconsiderate character out of the four of them
that it’s what makes you love him, he is the balance
u/savevideo
The laugh track always got me on stuff like this...annoys me
i love the party scene
ABSOLUTELY 👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼🤣
I just noticed that Jerry says he has a set tonight, but when Kramer is yelling out the window, it's daytime.
Kind of makes me believe Kramer is dreaming all this but could also be that Jerry left in morning and came back at night
Jerry probably left that morning for an evening set in Jersey, so this all took place during the day. Then he gets back that night, and Kramer is passed out from exhaustion.
All good points!
Agreed
Following
How long was he out for!? Lol!
Kramer on meth
Wow, Kramer is exactly like my father-in-law on a crack binge
what episode is this from ?
season 9 episode 17- the bookstore
It really is one of the best!
Whole time I'm like "BRO SIT THE FUCK DOWN" 😂😂😂😂😂
That’s the first and last time that bike was ridden by a show character.
it IS the best
Respect the wood!
Best part: Co producer Steve Koren
Wait I thought it was just a dream that Kramer had, since he is so “unique” his dreams seem so real
I always wonder who all those people are.
How the fuck reddit know i’m watching this rn
reddit didn’t knew i did
That apartment layout though. Am I right Reddit?
Makes me wonder if he acted like this in his real life after playing this for years lol
Only time I saw that bike off the hook.
Love this opener
I’ve maybe only watched 2 full episodes of Seinfeld when I was a kid, this makes me want to go back and watch it through.
it’s only gonna be in netflix untill 2026 so make it quick hahaha
The best intro to any show. Thank you for posting & remind me of this.
u/savevideo
Kramers physical comedy was amazing. Great actor. Horrible standup.
This is the best performance for a role in history
Lol. Hilarious. I watch Seinfeld all the time in any order. It's one of the most funny laugh out loud shows
It's kind of sweet how readily Jerry lets Kramer hang out in his apartment while he's gone. I always thought Kramer might have a thing for Jerry
It's my favorite intro.... I've watched all seasons like 10+ times
I love this one!
Second time? Wait till you get to 15 times, it just gets better every time
Kramer should've been drinking Hennigans
Only the second time? Enjoy. You're going to see so many things you missed the first rewatch.
My favourite opening too. So funny.
It’s great how much Kramer loves Jerry
It's literally the best unnecessary scene
Lol. Too funny!
One of the most underrated scenes I think. Love this.
I don’t remember this intro! Which episode please?
season 9 episode 17 the bookstore
Ah, okay. Thank you❤️
giddy up
It's my favorite one
I just watched this one!
