This is something that I came across on The Dog and Pony Show Website, a Staten Island based group of humorists, bloggers, and so much more, which you should check out. In the latest bit of somewhat weird but interesting news, a porno was recently released based on the TV sitcom Seinfeld. Yeah, I know. As funny as this may sound, it's also very sad that porn producers have to turn to Seinfeld for inspiration. I mean a proper porn spoof of Seinfeld would have them utter the show's most famous lingos and catchphrases. "Master of my Domain!" For example, there's that one episode where Jerry and Elaine decide to do friends with benefits and they keep on using "this" and "that" as clever term for sex. So it would go like this.
Jerry: We could do it like "this", and then we can do "that".
Elaine: That's a good idea.
Jerry: Or, before we do "this", we can do "that".
Elaine: Ok. But what do we do after "that."
Jerry: We do "this."
I could go on, but you get the point. Seinfeld is probably the weirdest choice for a porn spoof. This sadly means that someone out there has fantasized about these characters and I'm sorry but I can't bring myself to ever doing that. I mean someone out there has fantasized about George Costanza. (I'm not saying anything bad about Jason Alexander because I think he's a brilliant and he stole the show.) I just can't imagine the character itself stimulating erotic thoughts.
Seinfeld wasn't the only TV show that recently got a porn adaptation, The Office and Scrubs got one too. Either I have the same favorite tv shows as pornstars, or the industry has really become that desperate. I guess a scrubs and office spoof sounds better than the Seinfeld one, but they're all shows that I love. Which brings up an interesting question, why is the porn industry turning to sitcom television for inspiration? Are they trying to convince people to fantasize about their favorite tv show characters? Before you turn around, they'll be spoofing drama shows like 24, heroes, and house, if they haven't done so already. The porn industry is stepping in my laugh zone and I don't like that. Seinfeld is great because of it's natural flow of dialogue and I don't think an adult screenwriter will be able to get that humor to work in their movie. So it's probably best if the porn industry remains to do what it has always done successfully and that is to entertain men and women with boyhood or girlhood fantasies. Seinfeld = not so much boyhood fantasy. Seinfeld = Comical Inspiration.
Speaking about Seinfeld, all four cast members will be reappearing on Larry David's Curb Your Enthusiasm in character for several episodes, which is going to be awesome. And yes it will be uncensored too.
This has been Art Vandelay speaking words of wisdom.
