Seinfeld The Soup (1989–1998) watch online HD

Season 6, Episode 7, "The Soup"

"The Soup" is a good episode, consistent with the general quality of season 6, though not one of the best. The main thing that makes the episode memorable is that it marks the first appearance of Steve Hytner as terrible comedian Kenny Bania, who is the culmination of several bad comedian characters who appeared throughout the show's run and would be the one to remain as Jerry's main antagonist within the business (discounting Newman of course) for the remaining season.

Everything else in the episode is funny but pretty standard. British actor Daniel Gerroll is good as Elaine's boyfriend-of-the-week but his character doesn't make much sense; and Kramer doesn't have a lot going for him in the episode at all. Good filler episode.

The Plot: Jerry gets an Armani suit from Kenny Bania, a hack comedian. In return for the suit, Bania wants Jerry to take him out to dinner. Jerry gets really irritated when Bania says that he'll get soup and make Jerry take him out again. Elaine has a British man staying with her, who is constantly mooching off of her.

Why would Elaine stay with that guy anyways? Because she likes his accent probably. Most American women will sometimes date a British man because of his accent. There was probably another reason why but I would assume so. I wouldn't be too happy with what Bania was doing if I were Jerry. He gives him a suit that he doesn't really like and expects him to take him out to dinner. Then once he orders, he just insists on another dinner. It's wrong. i would be like Screw you, this is the meal. That's what Jerry does. The Soup is a classic episode. The Soup is gold Jerry, Gold.

Jerry accepts an Armani suit as a gift from a fellow comedian Kenny Bania but must take him out for a meal of gratitude. Elaine comes back from London and brings a man back with her but he quickly begins to freeload off of her. George goes on a date with a waitress from the diner but feels weird going back to eat after the date goes poorly. Kramer gets rid of his refrigerator and begins to only eat fresh food.

This marks the first appearance of Bania whose hilarious as always. Kramer has another classic scheme with this whole no fridge thing and George ruins something great for himself once again by outcasting himself from the diner. Another episode, another classic for this series.

This episode is like a hill downwards. It starts really great with Jerry's and George's story lines getting the most attention and by the middle of the episode it starts it slow downfall.

Four story lines: Jerry gets a brand new Armani suit from Kenny Bania (his first appearance) and now he wants a meal invitation in return. George is trying to get a date with the waitress of Monk's. Elaine is dating an English-man. Kramer is "dating" a waitress from Reggie's.

Jerry's and George's story lines start off great with George's deteriorating harder as the episode progresses. Kenny Bania is absolutely on fire on here, although the writers didn't come out with a good ending for his story. Elaine's and Kramer's stories are so bad and unremarkable that I can't remember anything from their plots. Elaine's boyfriend is really undeveloped and her story in general goes nowhere. Kramer's girlfriend is a sort of monster that must be feed for some reason and, as you guessed it, it goes nowhere.

As I said, the first part of this episode is really good. As it moves forward every single story starts to deteriorate and leaves you with a bad taste in your mouth.
