In a world where every piece of media is available on demand on anything with a screen, what kid would even grasp the concept of having to call a number to find out when and where you had a chance to see a movie? The Outing - Season 4: Episode 17

In this episode, Kramer gets a new phone number that people accidentally call trying to get Moviefone and decides to just play along and deliver the info, even putting on the robo-voice. It was like a website, but you had to call it on the phone to learn what movies were playing and when.

Dinner and a movie today is ordering shi*** takeout to be delivered from an app and letting Netflix decide what movie you want to see that you won’t like anyway. First, going out without a reservation? OK, even for the time that’s a mistake, but second is the idea of going out to eat at all.

First, there’s the plot of just waiting to get a table, but also George struggling to get access to a payphone (more phones!). One of the all-time great episodes, but yet again one that has no relatability to those spoiled kids today. The Chinese Restaurant - Season 1: Episode 11 A dedicated voicemail machine at home? Tapes? Hell, even leaving a message at all instead of texting is rare. I can’t think of any part of this episode a kid would understand. The Phone Message - Season 2: Episode 4įine, a lot of these have to do with cellphones, but in different ways so shut up! In this case, George leaves an angry message on his girlfriend’s answering machine and plots with Jerry to sneakily swap the tapes before she has a chance to hear it and break up with him. I don’t know any theaters anymore that still make finding your seat a free-for-all when you arrive. Now, no one goes to the movies without already - 1. I don’t need to beat a dead horse about how having phones would solve 90% of this episode about the four characters going to different theaters back and forth, missing each other, buying tickets, losing seats, and all that. The Movie - Season 4: Episode 14Īgain, movie theaters as a concept is kind of dying already, but it’s not dead yet, damn it!

Hell, I bet kids today just Uber everywhere and don’t even know how to park. Today, there’s probably some newfangled app to find your car, or at least you could use your phone to just type down a note of where you parked or even call the other group once you found it after splitting up. What doesn’t happen is forgetting where you parked and having no solution but to split up and look for the car … while carrying a freaking air conditioning unit. Is going to the mall still a thing in general? I assume yeah, but who the heck knows. Back then, though, he and George need to concoct a plot to stake out her business and just hope to run into her. The solution now would be to, you know, just look up her company online or just find her through Elaine's social media since they’re friends. He can’t ask Elaine for her number because that would be super awkward. The only problem is he doesn’t get her phone number, and only knows where she works. Jerry, as he does, meets a very attractive woman while at a party with Elaine. Call me a gatekeeper if you want, but these 10 Seinfeld episodes are way funnier - and all the more difficult for kids today to grasp - because of that fact. While we don’t have a super-cool handshake or anything, we can bond over the best comedy in existence: Seinfeld.Īs amazing as the show is, and always will be, not every episode is exactly timeless. On the flipside, being old enough to know what a floppy disk is or what a dial-up modem sounds like is kind of like being in an exclusive club. I’m not saying that to make it sound like they’re spoiled, only that I’m jealous they have it so much easier than me.

This is going to sound a lot like “old man yells at clouds” type stuff, but it's a simple fact that kids today just can’t understand how things used to be.
