The famous “Senefeld” episode of the “opposite” borrowed its roots from the pilot

In the 1994 “Senefield” episode, “The opposite”, George (Jason Alexander) begins to know that his instincts are … well, because everything is not reliable. He feels that every decision I made was incorrect and has a diving feast: if he did the opposite of everything that his instincts tell him, then his life will improve. It begins immediately. Instead of sitting fixed and enjoying the beautiful woman sitting near the Monk Café, George wakes up and talks to her. Instead of boasting about his achievements, he announces that he is unemployed and lives with his parents. The beautiful woman, Victoria (Didi Phavir), was impressed by his frankness and agreed on a date.

George Antistincts ADPace lasts. He refuses to climb to Victoria’s apartment after an appointment, for example. It also stops shaving and overcomes his shyness to face Rovenins in a movie theater. It seems that the “opposite” philosophy is working for it. One may expect George’s plan to explode in the face in the end, but at a rare turn of events, everything works for him. His instincts lead him to A job interview with New York Yanxiz George Steinbarner criticizes his face. He gets the job (!) He moves from his parents ’location. George can succeed in life. He only had to be the opposite of who was.

“The opposite” was broadcast near the end of the fifth season of “Sinfield”, when the series has already achieved a huge success. However, awake viewers may remember that George has already presented his “opposite” way on his way in the exhibition’s experimental episode. George seems to have already had a key to success and personal happiness, but simply did not work on it. It is one of the only times that things went well for the character And one of the best episodes of “Sinfield” in general. Don’t worry, though, George ultimately declines gently to the usual himself.

For those who were not committed enough to remember the line from the offer (which was Entitled “The Seinfeld Chronicles” and was hated by the fans of the test Before the first show in 1989), Larry David, founder Sinfield, indicated in his comment on one of the digital video tablets. One may remember a scene in which George gives advice to Jerry through the following exchange:

“Don’t do what your instincts tell you. Always – always! – Do the opposite.”

“And this is the way you work?”

“Yes, I hope.”

On DVD features, Alexander also indicated that the fans have approached him, and they told him that they had personally adopted the philosophy of George’s “opposite” … and flourished. He added that he already knew a “handful of men” who tried philosophy “for a long time,” and she worked perfectly for them. It seems that if you feel your instincts are wrong, and everything you try to do wrong, George’s philosophy may be really applicable.

Of course, the episode joke is that while George Prospers begins, Eline (Julia Louis Drifus) begins to fail. By the end of the episode, she was thrown by her boyfriend, expelled her apartment, turned a blind eye, and closed her work. You notice that she “has become George.” Meanwhile, Jerry (Jerry Sinfield) represents a kind of Zen balance, after he had no wealth or calamity throughout the week. It has disturbed only one comedy to get another popup after five minutes. The balance between wealth and the shout feels “the opposite”, which causes many to consider it severely. To think, the seeds planted five seasons earlier.
