Why Seinfeld Doesn't Work With iPhones

Posted 07/23/2008 at 1:09:06pm | by Susie Ochs

Just give me the whole case and I'll be on my way.

In The Sponge (709), Elaine's search for sponges would be VASTLY aided by a trusty iPhone 3G. Simply search the built-in Maps app for nearby drugstores, click the phone numbers to call each one, and save yourself a lot of legwork, Laney. Or she can just go buy them on drugstore.com.

Something about his shirt. I dunno, it was 1991.

In The Stock Tip (105), Jerry and George invest in some stock, and Jerry is very stressed about it, always looking for a newspaper to obsessively check and re-check the price. A newspaper, aw! Hmmm, one of the iPhone's default applications is a Stocks checker. Bloomberg makes a nice one too, we hear. How handy.

We're in the Itchy lot.

In the classic episode The Parking Garage (306), they'd have no trouble finding their car thanks to the iPhone's Notes application. Sure, you can't sync the notes to your Mac or even to MobileMe for some insane reason that no one in the universe can properly explain (it's like those hip musicians and their complicated shoes), but your iPhone can remember what level and section you parked in. Presuming you remembered to make a note in the first place.

To be continued! Like that funny one where Morty lost his wallet.

Ah, Seinfeld.. Haven't been

Ah, Seinfeld.. Haven't been able to watch that since Michael Richards (Kramer) went ape-poop and made it virtually unwatchable for me.

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.
