So apparently someone has taken the time to extract every Kramer entrance from the show Seinfeld and put them all together chronologically in one video. When I first heard about this I immediately laughed because it would take so much time to do this. I even attempted to watch the whole thing, but about three-quarters of the way through I had a violent seizure and Michael Richards appeared to me telling me I had three wishes. Of course I am kidding, but I do have some thoughts on the character of Kramer. It is obvious that his entrances are unmatched throughout the entire history of television entrances, however if you watch most of this video you will realize that his entrances are 90% the exact same thing. While I am a big fan of his entrances in general, I am personally a much much bigger fan of his exits, which are extremely underrated. Kramer and Jerry Seinfeld's door have a sort of relationship throughout the series, he interacts with it in a way that no other character does on the show, making it almost a character itself. So it would seem that with Kramer's exits, he interacts much more with the door than he does on his entrances. Plus, most of his exits are completely original. For example, say he is standing on the other side talking to Jerry from his half of open door, then he suddenly decides to go back to his apartment, but he is stuck and it appears the door won't close after him, then Kramer realizes that he had his foot blocking the door the whole time. Here it is obvious that Kramer has a much more hilarious interaction with the door than he usually does on his entrances. It is small and usually unnoticed comedic moments like these that make the show so special to me. It was simply put, a show about nothing, much like this blog post however.
