Jerry Seinfeld's 'Seinfeld' Apartment Is Physically Impossible, Reddit Argues
cracked ^

Posted on 04/09/2021 6:05:57 AM PDT by mylife

Well, folks, it seems Kramer was right -- Jerry Seinfeld is actually a very fancy boy, so fancy that he can apparently defy the laws of basic architecture and physics alike, as evident through the bizarro design of his iconic Upper West Side apartment in his eponymous '90s sitcom.

Earlier this week, Reddit user u/PixelMagic made a shocking discovery -- based on an intricately detailed overhead rendering of Jerry's beloved bachelor pad, the apartment cannot exist as depicted in the show, the unit's extended kitchen drastically bisecting the line of his hallway, much to the disappointment of Redditors everywhere.

“Only Kryptonian tech could explain that phantom hallway, which means, maybe, just maybe, when people walk down it, they’re actually in the Phantom Zone,” wrote one user. “This is infuriating," chimed in another.

fans still attempted to justify the snafu, citing other dimension-related issues ("Neither can a 12" deep side by side refrigerator,") and questioning what goes on beyond the camera's typical scope ("There could be the staircases or an elevator.")

One popular theory? Debating if his hallway took a sharp turn shortly after. While technically they are correct in asserting such a twist is physically possible, a design like that would not only make for an extremely strange architectural segmentation but would seemingly contradict other depictions of Jerry's building. On season 8's “The Soul Mate,” Jerry finds himself chasing his arch-nemesis, Newman, through the halls of their building, a pursuit notably beginning outside of Jerry and Kramer's apartments. As Newman takes off with Jerry following close behind, both appear to head straight down a long corridor, with a second shot showing the two appearing to run straight ahead.

“… just remember, it’s not a lie if you believe it.”

What if you are using a fish eye lens to capture the room?

A fish eye lens distorts but it isn’t always aparent.

I have noticed some “rental” photos that used such lens. Makes the bathroom look much bigger than it really is.

You aren’t going to see an angle like that in any apartment anyhow. So if the door meets the wall at a 90degree angle with the kitchen wall flat next to the door, what then?

You can buy a desktop replica of Jerry's Apartment if you have a spare $500 lying around from your Gubbnet COVID check.

Gee, next thing you’re going to tell me is that it was impossible to transport people like they did on Star Trek.

Art Vandelay or even Kramer could tell you its architecturally incorrect

I don’t see a problem here. Building architects can be pretty clever. Jerry’s apartment was probably designed with kitchen slide-outs, just like what some RV’s have.

It’s nice to see other fandoms have no life too.

“This is infuriating," chimed in another.

I wish death and misery upon no one, but sometimes I think a depression or World War would do wonders to re-adjust snowflakes' perspectives.

If they have time for that maybe they can figure out how Superman can hold up a building without it crumbling apart and falling to the ground.
