Jerry Seinfeld's Comedians In Cars Getting Coffee Is Actually A Show About Nothing
Jerry Seinfeld's Comedians In Cars Getting Coffee Is Actually A Show About Nothing-November 2024
2024-02-19 EST 22:10:11

Even though Seinfeld was typically referred to as a show about nothing, each episode actually had a pointed message and a distinct story line.

Apparently angry that Seinfeld actually was about something, Jerry is now back with a show that is literally about absolutely nothing. And I mean nothing.

First, let's break down the title. Are there comedians in the show? Yes. Are there cars? Yep. And what about coffee? Oh, you bet your ass there's coffee.

For a web series, the show promises to have a bunch of cool cars and big time funny people. The lead off is a 1952 VW Beetle split window with 25 horsepower that's being shared by Seinfeld's longtime pal and collaborator, Larry David.

Anytime that David and Seinfeld come together there's an expectation for comedy. Just a regular conversation between the two can be hilarious. Right at the beginning, there is a trademark exchange that instantly makes this worth watching for any Seinfeld or Curb Your Enthusiasm fan:

Seinfeld: You excited?

David: I wouldn't say I'm excited, but I'm looking forward to it. My mother used to say to me once a week, "Larry, why can't you get excited about something? You're never excited, nothing excites you."

It's a bit like seeing a real-life version of Curb Your Enthusiasm, except instead of offending vast swaths of America they drive to a coffee shop while talking cars. Seinfeld sees a Bugatti Veyron, stops, and give Larry a little lesson on the car.

After driving, the two get coffee. What a shocking plot twist. But somehow, the show doesn't really drag. It's just an entertaining, nonsensical conversation between a couple of friends. They reminisce about their days on the show, talk about dietary habits, and other small bits and pieces that nobody could possibly consider important or Earth shattering. It's a Seinfeldian analysis of the minutiae of life. Larry sums it up perfectly:

You have finally done a show about nothing.

Yes, he really has.

The first episode has enough for car and comedy fans alike to come back for next week. However, will Seinfeld have the same rapport with comics he isn't as close to he does with David? And will the cars be as interesting? I hope.

Check out the full episode .

At $15,000, Could This 1979 Ford F150 4X4 Short-Bed Make Your Shortlist?
The seller of todays’ F150 says that it was renovated to give to his grandkids, but was turned down by the ungrateful little snots. Let’s see if it’s now priced to have buyers do the same thing. They used to say that “the sun never sets on the British Empire.”...

Become a '60s Speed Demon With This CanAm Lola
The SCCA and CASCCanadian American Challenge, known colloquially as CanAm, was an incredible piece of the 1960s American motorsport landscape. The series had essentially zero rules regulating how teams should build their cars. Crazy lightweight open-top jobs started showing up to compete with all manner of huge American V8s powering...

Manual Hatchback Prices Are Creeping Up; They're Onto Us
Enthusiasts have long since taken advantage of the fact that manual options on cars are generally cheaper than their automatic counterparts. We’d pay less money for more fun, especially if the car in question was a hatchback. It was a bulletproof deal, but now it seems that prices for these...

There are a lot of things a person can do with $100,000, should that person be fortunate enough to have $100,000 at their disposal. They could use it as a huge downpayment on a house, put a kid through college with one transaction, or, if we’re being truly practical, buy...
