If you’re at all familiar with the recurring jokes and comic tropes of the best sitcom pre-AD (Arrested Development), you’ll know that one of Seinfeld’s less well-known but still delightful pleasures are Kramer’s (Michael Richards, yes, that one) entrances into Jerry Seinfeld’s apartment. To illustrate their subtle comedy, some seriously nostalgic person has assembled a [...]

A scary and strange news item earlier this week had to do with a Continental Airlines flight between Rio de Janeiro and Houston that encountered such intense turbulence that it had to make an emergency landing in Miami, where 26 passengers were treated for injuries. Many drew parallels to the recent Air France crash, although [...]

Now that the madness of Mother’s Day is behind us, we only have Father’s Day to go through before we get to celebrate Aunt and Uncle’s Day on July 26! Because we can’t take all the excitement and anticipation, we’re celebrating our parents’ brothers a little early this year with mental_floss’s listicle of 8 Memorable [...]

This listicle might be a moot point what with that perpetual cameo show called 30 Rock, but Best Week Ever chronicles some historic (and obscure) moments in TV comedy crossover synergy with its listicle of The Top 10 Sitcom Cameos Made by Other Sitcom Characters. It’s the formula every rap artist still uses to get [...]

There might be something to this whole TV hang-out thing, aspiring television writers out there. After all, a central locale where our favorite characters always meet to talk and laugh gives us something familiar and comfortable to look forward to, and a socio-behavioral model to follow in our own friendships. To boot, the owners and [...]

Just in case you didn’t come across this over the weekend, Brooklyn-based artist and illustrator Kiersten Essenpreis has made a paiting featuring some 99 Seinfeld References (though we’re told there are a few extras). See how many you can spot then check out the reference key after the jump.

We’ve been a little apprehensive about this whole green revolution because it’s so intensely class-coded. That is, its implied message is that you can do right by the environment as long as you can afford to, which seems completely wrong-headed. At any rate, The Wall Street Journal, of all media outlets, has put together a [...]

Our ability to lose ourselves in endlessly repeating the antics of Seinfeld’s Kramer was trumped somewhat by an incident a couple years ago that you may remember. That said, we’ve been off the Kramer wagon for long enough now that even a little dose of the nutty next-door neighbor is enough to keep us chuckling [...]

Those all-seeing pop culture humorists over at NextRound.net draw our attention to an underused accessory in the canon of screen fashion: the eye patch. Though their listicle includes some vital entries (Angelina Jolie in Sky Captain, Kurt Russell in Escape From New York, Rob Lowe in Austin Powers 2, among others), some golden celebrity eye [...]

It’s another issue of our weekly psychoanalysticle, Freudian Fridays, wherein we take a close look at the Interweb’s unconscious desires and telling trends. This week we look at a list by Dayna Davis on Divine Caroline, entitled 8 Dream Symbols That Point to Stress.
Of course, any good Freudian knows this list’s alternate (and more truthful) [...]
