I just looked. They are real, but, they are not spectacular.

The Final Four is set!

#1 The Contest vs. #15 The Summer of George 86%-14%
#1 The Marine Biologist vs. #2 The Chicken Roaster 61%-39%
#4 The Little Kicks vs. #6 The Muffin Tops 57%-43%
#1 The Soup Nazi vs. #10 The Merv Griffin Show 32%-68%
Surprised how well little kicks did. Poor seeding I guess. I think Summer of George, the Chicken Roaster, and Soup Nazi would have beaten little kicks.

What were the top 4 in that bracket?

I can't decide between Marine and Merv. Someone give some arguments for one over the other!

I think we can all agree the primary story line of both episodes is A+ quality. The tie break probably needs to be looking at the B-story of them.

Marine Biologist: Elaine, Yuri Testikov and the beeper. I feel like it goes on for a bit too long and takes up too much of the episode. The woman the planner hits is very annoying.

Merv Griffin: Jerry "drugging" his girlfriend to play with her toys and Elaine with the siddler. I think both of these are better than the Russian writer and the beeper.

The sendoff of Marine Biologist is so good though, I think that part edges out Merv just a little. The Merv close isn't bad or anything, it's just the Marine Biologist closing is A+++.

Merv: you forgot George running over pigeons and then his gf cuts him off. so he swerves to avoid the pigeons and runs over a squirrel and then pays for surgery on the squirrel and rehabs the squirrel.

True. Every one of them has a strong story in Merv. In Marine Biologist Jerry's only story is washing Golden Boy

George asking how much it would cost to euthanize the squirrel and it only being 80 cents.

And they have to send off to El Paso for the tiny little instruments.

one of the best moments in the entire series. george's monologue and kramer's reaction were a last-minute re-write by larry david and jerry, and then jason alexander nailed it on the first take.

Yea I watched that video the other day, good background info.

I do see what people mean by the Merv show having better all around stories. It is a very tough vote!

Lol... i posted that back a couple of pages.

The Marine Biologist is the best payoff in the entire series. That one wins, for me. Though I would vote for The Merv Griffin show over The Little Kicks.

My plan is to run the SF through tomorrow night and start the Finals around midnight, then run the final from Friday on through Sunday to give everyone a chance to VORE

My favorite part of the Marine Biologist beyond the Larry David voice-over is the idea that George is not upset that Jerry gave him a made-up profession, but that it's the WRONG made-up profession.

Also, we've had as many votes yesterday for the Final 4 as we did any other round total. The results are pretty decisive if you guys just want to move on to the finals. If I don't here any big complaints I'll do it around 12 today.

"Yeah...he's specializing in whales. He's working on lowering the cholesterol level in whales...all that blubberquite unhealthy. You know it's the largest mammal on earth but as George says, 'they don't have to be.'"

The Comeback lost to The Bizarro Jerry 57-43 in the Round of 32. I think that was a mistake

This is a great account to follow of you're on Instagram for daily doses of Seinfeld.

CNN is an enemy of the state and should be treated as such.

That guy in the background is in the background on several episodes and I think a bunch of episodes of Frasier as well.

While I get that, I've never used a premise from Bizzro in real life. I talk about jerk store moments quite often.

Just watched the mango. How's this episode not get any love?!?! I thought it was great. Probably second to the contest for me, to this point.

I don't think of that episode ever. I use a jerk store moment frequently.

The semifinals were all about one giant flex. We'll see if the Marine Biologist can stop the runaway train in the finals.

The Contest vs. The Little Kicks 100%-0%

#2 The Merv Griffin Show vs. #3 The Marine Biologist 41%-59%


Don't see any need for a third-place matchup, so go on and vote away.

VOTE


#1 The Contest vs. #2 The Marine Biologist
