JERRY SEINFELD: STAND-UP CONFIDENTIAL (TV)
Summary
This stand-up comedy performance features comedian Jerry Seinfeld. The funnyman offers wry observations on the following everyday topics: never being able to stay in one place for a long period of time because of the constant urge to go out; being ripped off at movie theater concession stands; Seinfeld's upbringing on Long Island and life with his parents; a child's ability to sleep anywhere at any time, especially during a shopping trip with its mother; an adult's ability to remain standing and not fall asleep even during the dullest situations; why Seinfeld never enjoyed family gatherings; the plethora of toys he had as a youngster; the specific duties a father has, like moving heavy furniture, packing the trunk of a car before a vacation, and controlling the thermostat in the house; dogs as pets and their apparent desire to be human; riding in a car with a dog; being on a rollercoaster vs. getting engaged for the first time; the best excuse to use if you want to get out of a marriage; wearing cologne all the time to make it seem like you always smell good; the differences between men's and women's bathrooms; shopping in a supermarket and putting an unwanted item back on the shelf wherever you please; people who read every ingredient on a product; and the fascination of the "missing sock." Seinfeld finishes the show with a question-and-answer session with the audience. This program is closed-captioned.
