here's the reference Seinfeld mentioned:

First I've heard of it, but what a fiasco indeed.

Funniest thing I've seen Seinfeld do...

Pity they couldn't dig up Bill Hicks' corpse

That's how they got Seinfeld!

If ol' chingy were ever walking up 14th street in the upper west side of NYC and ever saw Tina Fey, the LAST thing we would be worried about was whether or not she were a model....."Tiny Fey, my dear you ARE, my model of the ideal woman".

I'd crash any one of those Seinfeld's POShits that he buys at yard sales into a FIRE hydrant to get a chance with you sister...RROOWARRR!

Jerry, you landed the perfect woman dude-Thrift-store queen and self-described philanthropist from Burlington, VT....she saw you coming dude.

Promote Seinfeld death-car fetish and Tina Fey's bravery

Naw man, a boats' referred to as a submarine...if yer Navy-But seriously, any ship or boat used primarily for recreational jaunts...is a yacht.

Why does millionaire frikkin' Seinfeld drive such tiny POS death-mobiles!? He must own at least ONE car that won't get him killed??

I wish this clip included the original scene where Larry delivers the line that so upsets Wanda Sykes, heh. Anyway... is the "assman" reference to "Seinfeld" a little too precious and self-indulgent to really work here?

Ahhh....a Seinfeld reference. Clever.

I didn't get many kids this year. I have about 350 chocolate bars left.

Fuck Jerry Seinfelds?

I just realized I've never given Louis CK money. Goddamnit. Every time I hear his voice it's just like: 'yes. I'm safe now. This will be funny. this man will entertain me with intelligence and pathos and delivery.' WHY HAVE I NOT GIVEN THIS MAN MONEY?

(not upvoting, because fuck Jerry Seinfelds. Also, very drunk)

I'm pretty sure she will get over it.

Anyway it's ok to not find a comedian funny. I don't really like Seinfeld and I hate Bill Burr. So fucking what?

dude!~!!! I googled, "JERRY SEINFELD WEARS A PINKY RING" and found your comment and am just blown away right now watching Curb.....I think he's wearing a Freemason ring?! I cannot tell but WHY THE HELL ELSE would he wear a pinky ring?!?! EW! It like goes against everything he represented to me. GROSS.

I don't know about this... Think about the best American comic right now, Louis CK. His on-stage (and on-screen) persona almost exactly fits what Fry describes as the British archetype. And he's not alone: think about Larry David in Curb Your Enthusiasm, George Costanza in Seinfeld, Homer Simpson, even Lucille Ball.

On the flip side, British comedians like Russell Brand, Jimmy Carr and Rowan Atkinson in Blackadder (except for the first season) are more like Fry's description of American comedy. It seems to me that what Fry has done here is come up with a nice neat story about differing national character based on broad stereotypes rather than acute observation, turned that into a theory of comedy, and then cherry-picked examples that fit his theory without mentioning exceptions. It all sounds very impressive given his amazing facility with language and rhetoric, but it's not very good analysis.

In that sense Seinfeld gave us the most British characters you've ever seen. I mean George Costanza...
