I think what makes Seinfeld work so well is that many, if not most, of the stories are based on actual events that happened to Larry, Jerry, and the writers (including this episode) and its sophisticated handling of potentially offensive subject matter.
The end result is one of the best episodes of Seinfeld and Larry David rightly won an Emmy for the script. And, surprisingly, the network gave their go ahead with some reservations of course. But to his surprise Jerry was on board thinking it not offensive at all though it was him that suggested using a white glove approach to the topic by never actually mentioning the word masturbation which just made it that much better. In fact, Larry David in the "Inside Look" on the DVD for this episode talks about how he was afraid that Jerry and the network would never green light this episode because of its subject matter and so left this episode and its description out of his list of upcoming episodes that he normally had displayed on his work board.
MASTER OF MY DOMAIN SEINFELD EPISODE TV
It's one of the best and funniest episodes but it's also culturally important for tackling what was then still a very taboo subject to refer to on TV (even though most humans and animals engage in this act). More specifically it's about the four main characters' attempts to win a contest to see who can refrain the longest from masturbating. And thank the maker that I took this risk because I've enjoyed the show immensely.īut there's one episode in particular that I want to mention, namely, " The Contest".
MASTER OF MY DOMAIN SEINFELD EPISODE SERIES
So I took a risk and bought the entire series after a failed attempt to download it.
Thus, I decided that there was no better time than this deployment to give Seinfeld a shot. Wanting to see more I briefly did some research (which usually entails perusing IMDB or Wikipedia) and discovered that Larry David was one of the co-creators along with Jerry Seinfeld of the eponymous Seinfeld. But I became a Larry David fan after seeing his performance in the Woody Allen film Whatever Works. Prior to deploying I had only seen a handful of Seinfeld episodes and though usually finding them funny to some degree I was never quite sold on the show.
