I remember many years ago that when the show finished, it was a big deal, people launched parties to celebrate the long success of the serie. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>One day I read about the work behind being a stand-up comedian, and they put as example this <a href=\"https:\/\/www.amazon.co.uk\/This-Anything-Jerry-Seinfeld-ebook\/dp\/B084G9VXJ4\/\">book<\/a> I have just read. The point, the humor\/jokes dont come out as art of magic, it is a constant job. The book is about &#8220;jokes&#8221; since he started in 70s until 2010s so that shows you that there is no magic bullet. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I like some jokes, they made laugh a lot and there were many I didnt get. I guess it is not the same reading a funny line that watching it. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The best ones I remember are the one about security guards and terrorists in airports, Wrestling referees, Fakebook and dual AC in cars, to name a few.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>And another point that I realized that is very important and I skip, is the need of humor\/laugh.  Sometime I think that all is about Stoicism, Buddhism and other ideas but I noticed that missed something. A good laugh, with good friends, and you see the world in a different way. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Hope I dont forget it<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I never connected with the serie Seinfeld (never tried to watch it neither), I knew about it, I knew people who were superfans and took it as nearly religion, but still I never had the curiosity.
