While being another hilarious installment of Seinfeld, “The Parking Garage” also manages to feature a profound meditation on death, a Scientology subplot, and end with zero consolation. Starting with a remarkably simple premise-misplacing a car in a multi-story car park-and building to unimaginable heights, “The Parking Garage” weaves complex results from this obvious premise.

This is a sitcom, however, so their reactions continue to get more and more absurd. Most recently, I watched it with my boyfriend and we were both extremely hungry, waiting for dinner to be ready, and we deeply related to their pain! We’ve all had the experience of waiting for a table when we’re hungry and in a time crunch, so it feels real to us. What I enjoy most about this episode is the realism.

It starts when Elaine, Jerry, and George show up at a Chinese Restaurant to grab a quick dinner before their movie. Bottle episodes appear in almost every sitcom today with great success, but not everyone knows that Seinfeld started this trend. This episode, however, truly is about nothing.
