Why Seinfeld Doesn't Work With iPhones
Posted 07/23/2008 at 1:09:06pm | by Susie Ochs

 

She had man hands.

In The Bizarro Jerry (803), George tells people that a photo of Elaine's attractive friend (the pictured Man Hands) is his dead fiancee, to win sympathy from some models and entree into their "forbidden city." Then his blow dryer ruins the picture, and when Elaine can't get him another one, he cuts one out of a magazine and is busted. Since people carry their photos on their phones and other gadgets now, this would either be much easier (since he could find a hot chick on the Internet, tap and hold the photo in Safari to save it to his iPhone's Camera Roll, and say she's his dead finacee) or much harder (because the lack of hard evidence would keep the models from falling for the story altogether -- I mean, come on).

 

It's Moors! Say Moors!

And what about The Bubble Boy? (407) While Jerry following George instead of having his own directions is kind of weak premise anyway, with the iPhone 3G they could both map out directions to the Bubble Boy's house so easily. And when George drove too fast and Jerry lost him, they could just...well, call each other, duh. (I like to have Google Calendar send me an SMS with the address and even a map link if I'm going somewhere new.) Plus, that whole nasty business with the Moops? Easily avoided thanks to Safari.

 

As incredulous as if Elaine had said she'd seen Salman Rushdie.

The Implants (419): While we're on the subject, Safari and our old pal Google can solve all kinds of bets, even Kramer's insistence that he saw Salman Rushdie at the health club. (The iPhone's camera might come in handy here too. For Rushdie, not Sidra.)

avatarAh, 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.
