Seinfeld on Twitter

Hello Seinfeld lovers!

I hope you're all on Twitter, because I've got a Twitter treat for you. I know some of you are probably already aware of what I am about to tell you, but for those of you who aren't, enjoy!

Seinfeld is on Twitter! There are a number of different Twitter accounts that do funny posts about stuff related to the show. Here are some good ones:

@SeinfeldToday (Modern Seinfeld)

This account, run by @JackPMoore and @JoshGondelman, posts episode ideas for the show if it were still airing. Some of them are really funny, and they usually try and incorporate something that didn't exist when Seinfeld was still around. Here are a few of my favourite tweets from Modern Seinfeld:
  • Kramer is addicted to Candy Crush, but suspects one of the levels is impossible to beat. "They're modern day carnies, Jerry! It's a con!"
  • George "breaks up with" his mom before Mother's Day. J:"You can't. It's not a break-upable relationship. You're her son." G:"Not anymore!"
  • Elaine suspects her bf is gay when he's mysteriously busy during pride weekend. Kramer helps her investigate, ends up leading the parade.
  • George claims to be EL James, author of 50 Shades of Grey, to impress a woman. George doesn't know that EL James is woman. Jerry hates kale. 
Can't you just imagine these episodes actually happening? I can actually hear George and Jerry having a conversation when I read the dialogue in the second example I listed - especially George saying, "Not anymore!"

A cool thing about this Twitter account is that you can tweet them with suggestions, and they might use them. They have so many good ones - quite a few that made me laugh out loud!

@TOSeinfeld (Seinfeld Toronto)

This account was inspired by @SeinfeldToday. Their focus: "What if the Seinfeld gang were living in Toronto today?" I don't think it's as good as @SeinfeldToday, but it's a little Canadian spin on it, and I like that! Here are a couple funny tweets from @TOSeinfeld:

  • George is grossed out when female boss takes newspaper into bathroom. "She just waltzes by, going to have some fun with @TheTorontoSun!"
  • George dates a Jewish girl so he can take rest of week off for #TIFF. Is caught by his boss making out during 12 Years a Slave. 
I hope you got the joke in the second example! It's a play on a season five Seinfeld episode, when Jerry was caught making out during Schindler's List. 


This account is the real deal. They tweet out classic Seinfeld lines, and always include picture link that goes with the line. Here are some classic moments that @SeinfeldTV helps us never to forget:
  • To have a line as perfect as "jerk store" and to never use it... I couldn't live with myself. #TheComeback #Seinfeld
  • It's Risk, Jerry. The game of world conquest. #TheLabelMaker #Seinfeld
  • Oh my god! That's my nipple! #ThePick #Seinfeld
I hope lines made you chuckle. Check out this Twitter account for more hilarious Seinfeld moments with pictures to go along!

There are a lot more Twitter accounts dedicated to Seinfeld. I just thought I would give you a little taste. By looking at these, it's obvious there are still tons of fans out there. If Seinfeld on Twitter isn't proof enough that the show will live on forever, I don't know what is!
