Sein Language

Sein Language refers to the dialogues & catchphrases from one of the most popular TV sitcoms of all times, SEINFELD. Basically, Seinfeld was a sitcom about "nothing" - there was no central theme to the show; just regular-joe characters going about their everyday lives. Surprisingly, it was this "nothing" that made the show a pop culture icon.

The show focussed mainly on the lives of 4 people; Jerry Seinfeld - a "fastidious & overly confident stand up comedian" living in a New York City apartment frequented by his cohort of eccentric friends which include the "short favors asking" Elaine Benes, the "neighbour mooching, ankle length pants" Cosmo Kramer & the "neurotic, ever complaing, alter-egoed" George Constanza. Other interesting & recurring characters include the "high fiving, face painting mechanic" David Puddy & Newman, the "portly, Seinfeld despising postman".

Many of the dialogues & catchphrases were drawn on Seinfeld's own experiences as a stand-up comedian. These seem more hilarious because of the context or situations they are used in. The well known ones include Master of ur domain, George is getting upset, Seinfeld's numerous references to different types of superheroes, the contemptuous manner in which Seinfeld & Newman address one another "Hello, Newman" & "Hello, Jerry", Festivus, Serenity now etc. These and moreso the characters themselves, leave the viewer in splits. The cast always seems in-sync with their characters, never uncomfortable or burdened. Unlike other sitcoms, one never tires of viewing the same episodes over and over again. I think this is perfect tonic for someone, who at the end of a grueling day, just wants to keep the brain aside and take it easy.

In the words of Jerry Seinfeld himself -

When you enjoy something, you must never let logic get too much in the way. Like the villains in all the James Bond movies. Whenever Bond breaks into the complex: 'Ah, Mr. Bond, welcome, come in. Let me show you my entire evil plan and then put you in a death machine that doesn't work'.
