I know this shit is 5 years old, but I was watching it yesterday with a friend on YouTube and we were trying to figure out WTF triggered Kramer's racist rant during that comedy show? I mean, the video on YouTube only starts when he started yelling at the black guy... what did the black guy say to him before?

Also, what's your take on this whole thing? Do you still love Kramer or think he's a nuttbag? :stonedsmilie:

He's stupid as fuck for letting some heckler ruin what little of a career he had left. There's always Seinfeld money I guess.

I thought he killed it in Seinfeld. He was hands down the funniest character. Notice that he was the only one that got those fake audience claps when he showed up for the first time in each episode.

Somehow he didn't manage to do anything besides Seinfeld. The black guy was right. He probably had a lot of personal problems for him to flip out like that on stage. What a waste of talent.

Stanley Spadowski was awesome.

Michael Richards earned $600,000 per episode for season 9 of Seinfeld which was 24 episodes long. Do that math.

You don't need a career after that.
 
He should've stopped with the "fork up your ass" retort and went on with the set.

You kidding me? That was probably the line that got them all boiling in their seats. There was no way they would have let him continue his show normally after that line... the fight was on.

Hmmm, hands down the funniest character? I beg to differ. George Costanza wasn't just the funniest character in Seinfeld, but one of the best characters on any show ever. Though he is only slightly better than Larry David (in Curb.) who is the one who George is based on.

Kramer was a funny'ish character, but nothing close to the dark disturbingly hilarious George. I always thought that the clapping every time Kramer showed up just showed the side of the audience who could only really see the superficial comedy of Seinfeld (banging into doors etc.), but none of the real genius.

Yeah, I was going to say the "bride" had been working out hard.
My fave is the little dude in the blue velour jogging suit with the kettle for a helmet.
