Why Seinfeld Doesn't Work With iPhones

Hooray for Pez!

The Pez Dispenser (314)

iPhones give you any number of hiarious ways to while away a piano recital -- you won't need the ol' Pez-dispenser-on-the-leg trick to make your friends guffaw. Just show them a hilarious picture you made in Finger Paint, start chuckin' beef with Cow Toss, or even whip out the ol' Tiny Violin (not a euphemism). How about Jared at the opera? Obviously if Jerry had an iPhone, either Elaine would be desensitized to the whole shebang, or neither of them could go to recitals together ever again, period.

Still, all very good reasons as to why the iPhone would kick ass in seminal 90's ensemble comedy series.

Watching Elaine pound the pavement in search of sponges has given me hundreds of laughs as opposed to the boring, time-saving minute she might've spent on her iPhone. Some things, like Seinfeld and iPhones, are like oil and water. I, for one, am grateful for the joy of simplicity.
