10 Seinfeld Episodes That Couldn't Be Made Today
PJ Media ^ | 10/04/2021 | Matt Margolis

Seinfeld is making waves again because of its arrival on the Netflix streaming platform. The classic ’90s show has spent some time in limbo after being a fixture on Hulu for a few years, but now fans can watch the show about nothing in all its glory.

Seinfeld was easily my favorite show as a kid, and while it may have pushed some boundaries as to what topics were suitable for prime time television, it was widely lauded for the clever storylines that often took the mundane and made it funny. One episode, for example, involves the cast waiting for a table at a Chinese restaurant. I used to tape episodes on VHS and watch them during season breaks, and they never got old. To have the entire show on streaming is a pure joy of convenience. I’m sure I binged the show once during its stint on Hulu, and will probably go through it again now that it’s on Netflix—though who knows how long that will take.

Perhaps one of the best shows of all time, it was also produced during that glorious era before wokeness destroyed everything. So, in honor of Seinfeld’s debut on Netflix, I’ve compiled ten episodes that couldn’t be made to today,

1. “The Puerto Rican Day Parade” (Season 9, Episode 20)

This episode has been offending the snowflakes since it aired. When Jerry, George, Elaine, and Kramer get stuck in traffic because of the Puerto Rican Day Parade, they abandon their car and get into all sorts of hijinks, and the episode ends with Kramer accidentally igniting and stomping on a Puerto Rico flag, causing an uproar. NBC had to apologize for the episode after it aired. Frankly, I’m surprised that Netflix didn’t simply exclude the episode from their service.

So, he is in FreeRepublic jail?

Kind of like Facebook jail.

Maybe we could get coffee cups made up just like they sell on FB marketplace that say Facebook jail parolee, etc.

There’s an episode where Elaine and her boyfriend think they are in an interracial relationship, and are disappointed when they find out they are both white. He thinks she’s Hispanic, and she thinks he’s black because he has a light-brown complexion and short, kinky hair. I wouldn’t be surprised if that’s on the list.

I remember cartoons when I was a kid that showed black people with big, white grins eating watermelons in one fell swoop and spitting out the seeds.

“Coal Black and de Sebben Dwarfs” was still viewable on YouTube a few years ago. Good music. I imagine it’s been banned by now.

Thanks! This is one of my favorites:

6. “The Jimmy” (S6E19) In this episode, Elaine has tickets for a benefit for the Able Mentally Challenged Adults (AMCA). Kramer finds himself as the guest of honor after being mistaken for being mentally challenged when a dental procedure temporarily leaves him drooling with a speech impediment. If that plotline doesn’t offend somebody, the one where Jerry suspects the dentist of taking advantage of his patients after putting them under will.

I laughed out loud when. Cedric and Bob recurred in that episode. “Who!? Who doesn’t want to wear the ribbon?!”

Of course they take off. And tell their friends they were set upon by a right-wing domestic terrorist.

Back in ‘01 there was a couple that just came out of the DMV. I told them to go home and scrape the embarrassing (Gore/Lieberman)bumper- sticker off their car

Yep. Also, The Beard: #Elaine tries to convert a homosexual man - I’m amazed that one was ever made.
