Richard Podhajsky figures he has watched every episode of “Seinfeld” at least 10 times.
And while they all make him laugh, one episode stands out.
“What makes me laugh is when people refer to themselves in the third person,” Podhajsky said. “Like in the Jimmy episode of ‘Seinfeld’ where Jimmy kept calling himself Jimmy.
“That will make me laugh every time.”
Jimmy was a character on “Seinfeld” who always referred to himself in the third person. He appeared in a handful of episodes.
“It’s funny watching them make a moron out of themselves by thinking that they’re somebody other than themselves,” Podhajsky said. “If you’re talking about yourself, you should say me, not Richard or not Jimmy.
“Talk about yourself rather than making it sound like you’re talking about somebody else.”
