Larry David Is Vaguely Aware Of Seinfeld Parody Accounts

You get the idea. It’s the brainchild of comedy writers Jack Moore and Josh Gondelman, and it’s just a simple little laugh. Nothing else to it.

But, someone…a comedian? a TV writer? thinks it’s lazy, or stupid, or something — because in January 2013 a parody account of the Modern Seinfeld parody account popped up.

The creator of @Seinfeld2000 is not known, though he revealed to Slate last year that he is “a 30-year-old man who says he works in television at a ‘major media company’ and contributes to the Onion as a freelance headline writer.”

“Gerge get selfie stick” is at once hilarious, goofy, and evocative of how a one-joke parody account can become a Twitter phenomenon. After all, @ModernSeinfeld has 818,000 followers and @Seinfeld2000 has 68,000.

The creator of @Seinfeld2000 told Slate:

“Like everybody else I initially followed SeinfeldToday. At first I thought, this is a funny, interesting concept. I just felt myself starting to get a little bit irritated by it. … I started to feel like it was a little bit not true to the voice of the show.”

To Seinfeld2000, part of the great success of the original show is that it flaunted the narcissistic superficiality of its characters to a degree never before seen on a top-rated American sitcom, and did so in a way that was often surreal — even, in S2K’s words, “twisted.”

Which brings us back to Larry David. He was asked specifically about @Seinfeld2000, though the question didn’t distinguish between the two parody accounts. It’s unclear of which account David is vaguely aware, or if he really finds it “funny.”

Of course, it’s probably only a matter of time before a @Seinfeld2000 reader begins to think it is lazy and turgid, and creates and parody parody parody account.
