I always see this scene and get so sad for him. That's a lot of food that he put a lot of work into and was proud of his work. Watching him try to shovel it back into the pot hurts. I know it's meant to be played off for humor, but I see next to none in that scene.
That’s because you have empathy and Kevin is generally a wholesome character.
Do yourself a favor and never watch Seinfeld.
If you take away the laugh track, it is astoundingly clear that the main cast are all just evil, narcissistic sociopaths, they never do anything that doesn't benefit themselves, and they have no problem at all ruining other people's days or even lives, their metric for whether or not something was a good idea or not is entirely whether it worked out well for them...
... ironically with the exception of Kramer, who actually attempts, from time to time, to do good things for other people which will not benefit himself, he just goes about them in often dubious ways.
Wasn’t that the point of the show? I remember it was renowned for being one of the first (if not the first) sitcoms where the characters were meant to be disliked.
Always Sunny just leaned into this, and made you fully aware that the main characters are sociopaths. They literally show the progress of how they ruined the lives of the people around them. That’s why I love that show. It’s a perfect example of everything not to do in life if you want to be happy and fulfilled.
What I also like about Sunny kinda like Seinfeld is you see the progression from the beginning in the show where they're sociopathic but still kinda sensible and how overtime they just get more and more unhinged.
In Seinfled, all 4 of them eventually inadvertently kill someone.
Wait really? That's the first I'm hearing of this. I used to watch a ton of Seinfeld back in the day but don't remember any deaths.
Kramer: indirectly kills Pinkis the dry cleaner and Marty Benson.
Elaine: indirectly kills Russell Dalyrmple (makes him suicidal after dating her)
George: indirectly kills Susan (cheaped out on wedding invitation envelopes) and Peterman' mom (BOSCO!)
Jerry: indirectly kills Fulton (literally makes him laugh to death) and Manya (the pony remark)
My autism knows no bounds. They actually have more deaths on their hands. I just don't have the energy to look for it.
Amazing! I'm gonna have to look these up on YouTube.
Even with the laugh track, they are clearly sociopaths. Which is why Always Sunny in Philadelphia is Seinfeld on crack.
I mean, the show literally ends with them all going to prison for generally being pieces of shit. They're not meant to be role models.
It’s why many people didn’t like the finale. At the end, they basically shove it in your face and say “Look- You’ve been laughing and empathizing with shitty people. Look at how horrible they are” and folks didn’t like the wakeup call.
I have a friend who I suspect has never raised animals, tell me about the "funniest moment on broadcast tv" in excruciating detail. It was the episode of WKRP when they threw turkeys out of a helicopter and instead of flying, they dropped to their deaths. Apparently, that's really funny.
He also recounted an episode of Night Court when a couple got in trouble accidentally killing a bunch of baby chickens in a propane explosion.
If I didn't already, I would have sworn off sitcoms from that.
Same here .. when I first saw it I was 50% laughing and 50% heart broken. I've made big pots of food before and this is my greatest fear ... just walking around with it and dropping it all on the floor. I think of this scene every time I'm in the kitchen.
I did it with a lasagne once and it was heartbreaking.
Chili is bad enough but lasagna! ... that stuff takes hours to make depending on how elaborate the recipe is. I would have felt so bad about that and in a strange way, I feel bad for you for having that moment. Hopefully, your next one was enjoyed by all.
Cooked from scratch, took at least four hours. It was 15+ years ago and I still remember it vividly.
Dropping a homemade from scratch lasagna ... this must explain why 15+ years I felt a sudden twinge in my kitchen while cooking supper - a disturbance in the culinary world. My condolences.
Home cooks 15+ years ago in their kitchens ....
It was all this cringe to me. I just couldn't stand The Office, Seinfeld, Curb Your Enthusiasm, Bridget Jones films, Fleabag, IASIP...cringe humor just makes my heart hurt.
What a reddit ass response.
I came looking for this
Glad you came ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)
that is what she said
Me too, glad I wasn't disappointed
I cry every teim 😭
