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.

I never found “Seinfeld” funny, other than his stand up at the beginning. I know all the memes but never saw the episodes from which they derive.
Same for “Friends.” Watched 5 or 6 episodes and never even smiled much less laughed.
This is crushing news. You mean the whole thing was fake? I’m going to have to find Elaine’s therapist and set an appointment.
“I have noticed some “rental” photos that used such lens. Makes the bathroom look much bigger than it really is.”
Most For Sale realtor pics are that way, too. It made me angry when we were shopping for a home. The online pics showed massive rooms, but when we saw the properties themselves, the rooms were small. I believe it’s false advertising. Bait and switch.
We had only one or two days allotted to us by DH’s new company for shopping, and we realized we had wasted weeks beforehand choosing the homes we wanted to see. They weren’t like the pics.
Oddly, we don’t call them that here.
They’re called dog trots, because that’s where the dogs trot in from the yard.
Weird hillbilly holdoverism.
:)
do they have lanais outside of Hawaii?
WTH?

I always like the stairs on Fawlty Towers.
You climbed to the head of the stairs, did a 180
came back turned left and when DOWN three stairs.
I do realize it was an iconic show back in the 1990s.
Question (to those who watched the show), what did Jerry do in the show to make a living? To support a fancy West Side Manhattan apartment? Which I know was not cheap in those days.
I used to like watching Rockford on A&E back in the early to mid 90s.
Exactly.
friends sucked, American rip off of the humorous British show “coupling”
He played himself.
Interesting. I’ll have to check the show out sometime.
Jerry was a standup comic in the show just as in real life.
Film magic!!
Surprised no one has mentioned this house on this thread yet, lol.
Who cares, it’s fiction.
