List is giving me a sense that my version of it would be bizarro version. Seems deliberately contrarian and too unappreciative of goofball late-stage Seinfeld (which was just as misanthropic, except as performance art targeted at viewer rather than enacted for viewer as a comedy of manners). Convergence of opinion begins about here, though.

John Mulaney later put a Dan Cortese reference into a Bill Hader Stefon sketch in some kind of late-stage Seinfeld arms race in the SNL writing staff I guess

It can never be said enough: Seinfeld always had the best fake titles. If they did a list of the best fake titles it would be way more interesting.

Was this consensus in Elaine’s peach Schnapps vault? Where is there evidence of this hatred in the press from the time?

Canonical by now, but this episode is basically a non-fiction retelling of Larry David’s attempt to quit and rejoin the writing staff of Saturday Night Live in the mid-Eighties

Sue Ellen Mischke never really gets her due.

This is the point where I lost total confidence in this list – there’s so much more goofiness in seasons 8/9 that’s so much funnier. One of my only memories from middle school is talking about the Seinfeld finale, which was the closest we ever felt again to the OJ verdict. I vetted most of my friends in middle and high school by who liked the same Seinfeld episodes (which do not include “The Frogger”)

Always thought this was the most horrifying thing George ever did until a New York friend basically asked me to do this – I directed the friend to another doctor who also said no sirree. Lesson here? Never try. (Simpsons.)

It is my belief that much of the high Rudy absurdist humor on the first Vampire Weekend album was inspired by late-stage Costanza, cf. “Pizza P-rty” by L'Homme Run (“don’t get caught with a wack calzone”)

Guess who voiced the Junior Mint Seinfeld2000 video game? (NOT LINKING IT)

One of the most annoying Hollywood games is “who wrote for Seinfeld except didn’t” – Farrelly brothers talk about it all the time, James Murphy of LCD Soundsystem, etc. The list is endless, in that I can only name them off the top of my head. Most of the Apatovian ones who complain about it wrote for Larry Sanders in some capacity eventually.

Jane Leeves is much more unsettling in this episode than as Daphne on Frasier.
