Interview with an Expert

Hello Seinfeld lovers,

This week's post is featuring an interview with fellow Seinfeld lover, Taylor Cole. Taylor says Jerry Seinfeld was her inspiration for doing her own stand-up comedy. She also has a few other things to say about the show:

Q: Who's your favourite Seinfeld character?

A: Elaine because she's the only woman in the show with "real" character.  All the other women get disrespected by Jerry and George, which I guess was funny in the 90s.  It was nice to see that Elaine had real flaws but didn't always have to apologize for them.  She's also pretty damn cute!

Q: What's your most memorable Seinfeld moment?

A: I always felt a real connection with Kramer. Especially the episode he decided to stay in his shower. He even made a salad in the shower, like who would even think of that?

Q: Who would you date: Jerry, Kramer, or George?

A: Well I'm a sucker for a comedian (Jerry), but I think that Kramer knew how to appreciate and love a real woman.  He wouldn't just reduce me to my "man hands" or judge me if I never laughed out loud.

Q: Bro or Manssiere? ("The Doorman," season six, episode 17)

A: Definitely the Bro. No one calls bras "brassieres" anymore—get with the times Costanza.

Q: You've shared with me your feelings about mens' footwear, and the importance of a good-looking pair of shoes. What's your opinion of Jerry's classic white runners:

A: Even for a show based in the 90s, white runners are horrible—grade A stalker or creepy gym teacher material. Leave the white loafers for your parents in Florida, Jerry.

Q: Which of Elaine's many boyfriends would you date:

A: That's an easy one, David Puddy.  He not only has a sexy voice, but he's a mechanic, he has muscles, and most of all, he loves high fives as much as I do.  Talk about chemistry. High five.

Q: In the season five episode, "The Pie," Jerry witnesses his girfriend's dad, Poppy, skip washing his hands after going to the bathroom. Poppy is also the chef at the restaurant where Jerry and his girlfriend are eating. Jerry refuses to eat the food; what would you do in this situation?

A: Obviously I would eat it. Jerry always makes situations so much more difficult for himself by being stubborn or self-righteous. Sometimes I cook food for myself without washing my hands, and who knows what types of germs are on them. I would only mention the poor bathroom behaviour if I got sick after eating the food.
