Wacky episode spawns famous Seinfeld catch phrase
PudgyPandaMan29 January 2009
This is a funny episode from season 8. Even if you never watched this episode, you have no doubt been familiar with the phrase that everyone started using after it - "yada yada yada".
George is dating a girl that doesn't complete stories but instead fills in the blanks by saying "yada yada yada". Jerry says its great because she's succinct - like USA TODAY. But George soon learns she is leaving out important info.
Jerry's dentist converts to Judaism and proceeds to telling frequent Jewish jokes - so Jerry thinks he converted just so he can tell the jokes. He confides to a priest that it doesn't bother him as Jew, but as a COMIC. HILARIOUS! Then Jerry tells a dentist joke and word gets around that he's "anti-dentite". At times the episode gets a little wacky but there are some funny moments. A must see episode of you are a fan of Seinfeld!

Water Cooler Episode
DKosty1234 April 2009
Warning: Spoilers
At this point during the Seinfeld series, different episodes would become a subject at the water cooler in the work office. This was one of those episodes that became that. The series would find many ways to push the envelope and this was one of them.
The clever use of "Yada, Yada, Yada" was kind of open ended here. There are times we are led to believe it is actually about sex. There are other times where it might really mean something else. The episode leaves the yada yada yada to the viewers imagination. This is when a great sitcom was rolling along at a very good pace.
Jerry, Elaine, George & Kramer are funny and the situations are funny. There is a limited amount of physical comedy for Kramer in this one, this one is more verbal.

The Holy Trinity...and an Anti-Dentite
scorkery-762-65526519 March 2022
This episode from Spring, 1997 is in my Top 5 All-time favorite Seinfeld episodes. (#1 being "The Puffy Shirt"). Seinfeld usually has 3 stories working at once; sometimes they work, sometimes they don't. This particular episode has all 3 working in perfect harmony, every scene memorable. First, George's new g/f is a hot mess, played with aplomb by Suzanne Cryer, who cuts to the chase of conversations by saying "Yada, yada, yada...", leaving out the minutiae of a story, making George aggravated and perplexed. Next, Dr. Tim Watley, played by Breaking Bad's king of meth, Bryan Cranston, becomes Jewish and immediately starts peppering everyday situations with Jewish jokes and anecdotes, leaving Jerry miffed and to realize that the only reason Watley joined the Jewish faith was for the jokes!...lol. The third side-story involves Kramer and his new little man buddy, Mickey, fighting over 2 girls they just met, with Mickey making one of the girls his 4th wife. Debra Messing plays a newly-divorced friend of Elaine's whom Jerry has home-wrecker hots for...hilarity ensues.
This was the penultimate season of Seinfeld, which to me made for the best all-around season, episode for episode; intelligent, wry humor at a consistent level. Seinfeld holds such a grip over its' legion of fans because every year it got better, leaving Jerry to go out on top, and leaving us wanting more. The very essence of classic sitcom gold.

Funny--Even to a Dentite
Hitchcoc22 April 2023
Warning: Spoilers
There are times when you have to be there to appreciate humor. First of all, the Yada, Yada, Yada sets up most everything in the episode. It pushes the imagination and covers up serious missteps, like the fact that Jerry's pretty girlfriend is a Nazi. So that is rather pointed. But then we have the attempts by Kramer and Mikey to woo a couple of rather vacuous (though beautiful) young women. The merlot thing was stunning. We've seen it before, but Jerry once again swoops in on recently divorced women. It's what he does. Then there is the conversion of Brian Cranston's character to Judaism, Jerry believing he is doing it so he can tell Jewish jokes. He even goes to the confessional of a priest to blow the whistle on him. He is accused of being a "dentite" because he has ignored the plight of dentists, coming to this country to become dentists. There's a great scene where Kramer goes off on him. Finally, there is a great Cameo by Robert Wagner and Jill St. John.
Yada yada

And Yada Yada Yada this is my favourite episode
lbowdls16 July 2023
This is honestly, actually my favourite, funniest episode of Seinfeld to me. I know it's a hard choice as there's so many but this just have so so many hilarious lines and scenes in it, I just can't go past it. In fact I'm amazed I haven't already put in a review for it. I was sure I had.
To me if you count this episode has to most amount of gag upon gag! I wouldn't even know where to start. But one of my faves is George rushing into the confessional to talk to Jerry just classic. And the most amazing bunch of repeat and new characters. I mean you have Mickey, you have Beth Lookner and of course Tim Whately. I mean any episode with Tim or Mickey is great but when together- wow yada yada yada say no more just watch and laugh and enjoy!

Good but I dont understand the hype
nicofreezer13 August 2022
Why this episode more than any other one ?
Yadayada got a 9/10 rating on IMDb, make it one of the higher rated episode of the show, and for the first time I really dont understand the hype.
It felt like a below average Seinfeld story, Elaine story was okay but nothing brilliant about her talking about their Friends for having a baby.
George story got a bit more Funny, but far from usual George Greatest.
Jerry story about jewish is okay but again nothing super Funny and Kramer Mickey is fine too Overall and episode with nothing special except the yada yada line, that i find a bit stupid.
The joke was fine the first time but an whole episode on it. Not so good and so far from the usual Seinfeld Greatest. The episode is clearly in my bottom 10.
To see this episode having the same rating as the Hampton ( a masterpiece) is just a huge joke.

That's NOT Jake Johannsen?!
aludni-4470617 April 2024
I love this episode and was convinced for YEARS that the man next to Elaine at the ceremony was comedian Jake Johannsen. I know of his almost-connection to the show and believed they slipped him into the cast as an inside joke...well, joke's on me, because that's David Chandler. Whoops. Not really related to the content of the episode, but this one's a classic. As almost everyone knows, it added a term to US vernacular that endures to this day. Episodes like this are why the show still works, even after all these years. Kudos to the writers and cast; its many-starred rating was clearly deserved.
One of Seinfeld's Most Iconic Catchphrases
Samuel-Shovel30 April 2019
Warning: Spoilers
In "The Yada Yada", George is dating a girl who breezes over long stories by substituting the phrase "yada yada" in for context. Kramer and Mickey are double-dating with two girls and can't figure out which one is dating which. Elaine ruins her friends' adoption chances by messing up the character interview. Jerry is mad when Whatley converts to Judaism and immediately starts making Jewish jokes.
This episode is bizarre. Obviously the inclusion of Yada Yada is iconic and one of Seinfeld's lasting legacies. But the rest of the stuff here is sort of odd. Kramer and Mickey's double date conundrum is very sitcom-y and played out. Jerry's subplot about how can tell what kind of jokes gets a big shrug from me as well.
It's interesting that we get time lapse in this episode though. That's very unusual for this show and I don't even know if we've seen it this far. Beyond that little tidbit and the famous catchphrase, this episode is surprisingly average.

Breaking Yada
safenoe3 April 2024
Warning: Spoilers
Real-life husband and wife Robert Wagner and Jill St. John (in England Jill's surname is pronounced Sinjin) play the parents of Kramer's loyal friend, Mickey. Wagner and St. John are like acting royalty, and it was quite something for them to appear, as a married couple no less, in Seinfeld. Well, The Yada Yada has certainly entered the lexicon, along with master of my domain, vandelay industries, these pretzels are making me thirsty. Anyway, the title of this episode has inspire many an academic to title their scholarly articles accordingly, e.g. Paul Devondorf's article "Yada, Yada, Yada: Seinfeld, the law and mediation." published in the Cardozo Journal of Conflict Resolution in 2009.
Also Bryan Cranston returns as Tim Whatley, and this was before he hit it big with Malcolm in the Middle and then of course Breaking Bad.
