Seinfeld is not funny any more. How annoying were all those Bee Movie ads? And this commercial sucks too. I liked his show back in the day, but comedy evolves, and I bet I wouldn't think it's funny anymore if I didn't remember that I used to think it was funny.

I didn't think he was funny back then. Kramer was funny once. and George??? I'd hit the actor in the head with a hammer today just for bringing that character to life.

Its mildly entertaining because its weird and different (AND I did enjoy the second one's depiction of a 'normal' family) but I am at a loss to see its effectiveness as a commercial. Maybe I'm just being too stodgy in my thinking.

A four and a half minute commercial, is the debil.

George Constanza and Jason Alexander, who played him, was the show. The rest was just stuffing.

The commercial was basically Seinfeld's reaction to Vista, if you think about it.
