How did Jerry afford his apartment?
(((Seinfeld)))
The episode starts out as normal,buzzer rings and it’s George. George runs up, half crying and tells Jerry he’s seen something terrible. He’s mumbling and stuttering for about five minutes until he can form a sentence. There are still pauses for humor, but there is no audience or laugh track.
George genuinely looks upset and says, “I’m sorry Larry, but I can’t go through with this,” and he tries to walk off the set, but people stop him and push him towards the stage. He walks out Jerry’s prop window and you can hear him calling his agent. There’s a lot of mumbling, and you can see candles being lit behind the stage. Jerry goes over to the bookcase and pulls it aside, revealing a ceremonial black table with candles, a dinner plate, and a stra
>how did a gainfully employed middle class man in his thirties afford a 1 BR/Bath in a so-so Manhattan neighborhood
it was a different time
he was famous enough to go on letterman and mentioned several times he made a decent amount of money from standup
the real question is how did Kramer afford his apartment
Based
Same way Monica, a cook and Rachel a waitress did
This.
no, he was a famous comedian in the show
Do we ever see Jerrys bedroom?
What is the price for one of these cuck boxes today? 4k a month? Imagine paying the rent jew or interest jew in 2019. Lol
There are a couple episodes where they mention apartment costs. The one with the couch and George wanting the apartment he shows Jerry. And the episode where the apartment upstairs opens up and Elain wants to move in. They only cost ~$500 if I remember right. $500 in 1990 $962.94 in 2019. So seems like he was getting a good deal for a 1 bedroom in NYC.
Rent control.
Rent control
Would probably go for 4k-5k a month
NYC has practically priced out all middle income earners
>famous comedian that had canonically done the Tonight Show multiple times
>middle class man
I had an apartment just like that when I had a job
>americans
>like to wear shoes in the house
>like to be barefoot outside
?
Where would the apartment be on this map? I don't know NYC that well.
in the muffin tops george is paying 2300 for his place
81th st?
Upper west side
How did AL afford a 2 story house with a decent backyard in a decent neighborhood on a shoe salesman salary with 2 kids and a dog and a stay at home wife?
These kinds of TV show floorplans are fascinating.
wasn't he living in chicago though? that city is dirt cheap compared to NY
Seinfeld was rich, on the show I mean.
it's mentioned several times that jerry is relatively richfrom being a successful comedian
They are
I want one for always sunny
The most be the most kino apartment of all time
Shots of the bed at least. The episode where he can't remember the joke for instance.
this one is pretty neat.
comfiest seinfeld setting?
fpbp
Why are there two toilets in that bathroom. Did the golden girls really shit together?
Yes, but only rarely.
Not everyone wears shoes in the house. It's really a house-by-house rule, and mostly depends on whether you have wall-to-wall carpet or not. People with carpet usually don't wear shoes indoors, while people with hardwood floors are more likely to wear shoes.
One's a bidet.
More likely he moved in with some old person that was rent controlled, they died, he never tells anyone.
not a floor plan but
Two toliets so you can change mid way through shitting
I think one is a bidet. But really their house is massive.
742 Eversneed Terrace
Frasier's place was pure Kino.
Did they do Nile's?
>Rumpus room
How the fuck do so many people afford this shit?
Truly baffles me
How much do you think stand up comedians make just make without movie roles/sitcoms/tv specials? Jerry is always shown as on the cusp of making it big and making a comfortable (like he was irl before Seinfeld) but certainly middle class. Hence the very modest apartment.
His apartment now is prob $5k/month
Left is a bidet. Right is the toilet.
Sneed.
Zimbabwe
>tfw you will never EVER live in a kino apartment with your best friends and just do dumb shit everyday
A lot of them split rent with multiple people. Even for one bedroom places.
Many of the apartments are bought for money laundering purposes by rich Chinese, Russians and Saudis.
Everyone else either earns six figures in the financial district or commutes into the city
Cross sections are neat too. Maybe it's autism but I really think these improve the viewing experience because it helps me understand the setting better.
the virgin serial killer vs the chad psychologist
You could do it right now user, it's not unfeasable.
Nile's is impossible to do since we never saw anything outside of the living room and kitchen. Then they kept exaggerating the size plenty of times. Martin got lost in the library on his way to the bathroom in that one episode.
Jerry got more successful later on. Remember when Kramer was intimidated at how much he made?
It literally is, if you make less than 40k a year good look owning a house/apartment that isnt shit tier
>Nile's is impossible to do since we never saw anything outside of the living room and kitchen. Then they kept exaggerating the size plenty of times. Martin got lost in the library on his way to the bathroom in that one episode.
I know, that's the joke. I would have loved to see someone's interpretation of that labyrinth.
Nile's walk-in-closet was the same size as Fraiser's living room.
jewish nepotism
It literally isn't.
Don't live in a major city like NY or LA. There's plenty of other affordable cities to live in an apartment.
You must live in a 3rd world shithole then, i'd rather not
Closest I can find
What the hell is with that tv placement. For a bunch of nerds that in episode watch movies that is a shitty place to put it.
>You must live in a 3rd world shithole then, i'd rather not
Lol, ok buddy. Stay and rot in Cali or NY.
He was rich off an inheritance. It's brought up towards the end of the series
2/3
The creators have mentioned that they fuck around with the layout of the house intentionally every now and then
>friends
There's a bedroom directly above the living room. Remember when Daphne's mom collapsed through the roof bed and all with that old dude?
Stay in your 3rd world shit hole
3/3
>live in a kino apartment
>and just do dumb shit everyday
Yeah, that's literally impossible, you have to work to afford to live in one of those
Not if you just inherit millions
Multi camera sitcoms sure have an awful lot of triangular rooms
most people don't
new york is poor people living like first-generation mexicans and rich people living like middle-class people would in any other part of the world
Still doesn't work because presumably your friends still have to go to work.
>everyday = all day
The day doesn't end at 5pm, brainlet.
I don't recall ever seeing Martin get lost in Niles' place. I think I may have missed that episode.
Formerly feed around
Here's all three floors
>The creators
>intentionally
More like the Korean animators mistake a direction and intended angel of the scene.
Thank you user, much appreciated.
>Still doesn't work because presumably your friends still have to go to work.
Well yeah thats the joke, Friends mentions it several times. But the reality is there are some people right now who are living the Friends life, making bank and having free time
>The day doesn't end at 5pm
You're right, there's overtime
Suburbs, at that. Huge difference. You'd have to compare it with New Jersey, Long Island, or Westchester County, not NYC. And Midwestern suburbs are cheaper yet than any of those.
Plus, it was a different era. Single-income households were still more or less normative back then.
Even with rent control, rent is not nothing, and the fact that Kramer has no visible source of income is a running gag for the entire series.
You've never lifted a finger, NEET.
Remember when they made a real life Simpsons house and fucked up the floorplan and color scheme.
>to reach the bathroom you need to go through the bedroom
Fairly well known comic with multiple Tonight Show and Letterman appearances and a steady flow of standup work affords middle class apartment in so-so manhattan neighborhood in the early 90's...The show
Nightmare fuel.
show jerry wasnt as famous as real life jerry
>Seinfeld
Has anyone noticed it became modern to shit on Seinfeld comedy?¨!
>Whhhhy your sox want to escape from you?!
Tum tu rum tum tuum tu tum chk phaa
>it's aging but I'll still at least respect it--
Except the one I lifted up your dad's ass.
>at one time the Simpsons were so popular they could justify something like this
Jerry was getting flown around for headlining shows and going on Lettermen from the start. That is about as good as it gets for a comedian until they get into arenas. Getting a sit com is a big thing for a comedian and that was season 4.
i dont think thats right?
He was supposed to be about as famous as RL Jerry was before he got his own show. Remember that IRL he'd even had his own HBO special nearly two years before the Seinfeld pilot aired.
If they killed and grind people as it was original plan, Bob's Burgers would actually put Simpsons in pension.
The proportions are a little off but the basic floorplan is correct.
Nope,the access to the bathroom is in the corridor
Damn this picture makes me want to play some Sims
this, are all these apartment in Trump Tower?
How did they get those lighted trees up there?
Deepest lore
I live in a 750sqft one bedroom apartment in downtown DC and its about $2300. stop being cucked incels and be based chads and maybe you can afford an apartment that isnt shit lmao
So popular that the family that bought the house after it was debranded and re painted had to keep calling the cops on stalker Simpsons superfans who kept showing up to their house to take pictures, making prank calls all hours of the day. Some fans even tried to break into their house a few times.
Here's some pictures of the og house: johnmorgartswebsite.freehosting.net
>being proud of paying that much for that little
I don't think you should be calling anyone a cuck, rentcuck
>doesn't own a car
heh
embarrassing gloating, m8
actually I do own a car. parking is like 200 a month
seething
doesnt matter bro, my job pays my rent in addition to my salary regardless of price
Do you pay for parking out of pocket though?
he was successful in the show, he could afford to buy his dad a Cadillac 3 times
>Jerry, foreskin is an essential part of the penis, and cutting it off based on pseudoscientific theories and grossly outdated rumors is barbaric and wrong! I MEAN JERRY, a child should have control of his body until he's mature enough to decide if he wants to get rid of a critical component of his privates or not!
>Jerry and Elaine look at each other making a face
>*laughtrack*
How did they build a hugely steel and glass tower hundreds of feet more into the sky? It takes a crane to get them up retard.
Memeing but this is what people who say “flyover cuck” actually believe
T. Mr. Robutt
That's insane, and I fucking hate NY. Would never spend that on an apartment.
Czech em
>so-so manhattan neighborhood
Really? Yes it's close to Harlem but it's also got Columbia U. right next door.
I've lived in an apartment like that.
based
Based AF. I'd live in that. How much is something like that in new york?
>spending that much on a one bedroom
>living downtown in any major city
>being proud of it
>yfw you realize Burt & Ernie lived in a 2bedroom apartment but still slept in the same room.
Roommates, subletting, some rent controlled apartments, and section 8. Lots of trust fund kids throw away their inheritances in NY. You gotta realize, NY is the fucking center of the world these days. I take seasonal business trips and the networking opportunities in NY are second to none.
Did either of them have a job? I mean, I know it's a show for toddlers, but did they ever explain how two men can own an apartment in new york without either of them working?
Did Bert sell photos of his pigeons or something?
They were social workers for all the poor kids and monster puppets.
Damn, why is central park so cheap? Why doesnt everyone live there?
That was explained many times in that the apartment was still under rent control and in her grandmothers name.
>tfw they constantly reference chandler and joey's place being shitty and i never got it
Kramar's reality TV show set.
Pity they didn't extend the joke past on episode.
I live in the Financial District and...that map is scary accurate. I should move to Upper East, had no idea it was that cheap damn!
I have the one for Frank and Charlie's but it's basically just a square.
I make 90k/year doing remote work (before taxes). I'm an actor in shitty independent movies on the side. My friend is a director and he's autistic. Our other friend is a depressed sadboi writer and is always the center of chick attention. Where the fuck should we set up shop and start the newest lad-com?
Springfield, MO, could work, but it's kinda a smaller city.
holy shit that would go for at least 3x that where i live.
In NYC no less, you couldn't pay me 4k a month to live in that shithole.
yeah central USA is pretty good outside any of the meme-cities. it's just an issue of, is there life there, is there good food, what kind of people, etc. MO is honestly pretty interesting and diverse (I've never been to the main city St. Louis but I hear I'm not missing out on anything)
Schemes
>you couldn't pay me 4k a month
What about 5 or 6? At some point you will say yes. If you can get a good job that brings you there it's a good place. I'm an upstate fag, have some part time neighbors that are cityfags. They don't like the city too much either. But they can afford a second home. Schools are really good too if you have the money.
lol. where do you live?
>Imagine paying the rent jew or interest jew in 2019. Lol
What's the alternative?
NEET, fool
But that wasen't Teds aparment was it?
drug dealer
you mean move back to your parents?
did candlejack get him?
Best apartment
The bathrooms didn't look like that. the toilet doors opened to the sink
How much am I missing out by not living there? :( I live in one of the biggest cities in my country but hearing about that city makes me feel like a hillbilly.
Virginity
The real Kramer sold weed and lived in a govt. subsidized building for "artists".
There are roughly 14,000,000 millionaires in the United States; Manhattan itself only has a population of about 2,000,000. The areas outside of Manhattan are far cheaper and are where most of the middle class and lower classes live.
>even if you become a millionaire you are nothing special
Makes me feel so insignificant...
You don’t have to be a millionaire to live here, I’m certainly not a one. Most jobs pay more than they would outside NYC for one thing, starting salary for my job is almost $30k more than the same job in cities like Atlanta/Chicago/etc.
This artist isn't as accurate as the other one, it's more like reference material.
>I'm an actor in shitty independent movies on the side. My friend is a director and he's autistic. Our other friend is a depressed sadboi writer and is always the center of chick attention.
This sounds like a sitcom premise.
Why is the sadboi writer the one the girls always want? Is the handsome, moody and silent type or something?
> two bedrooms
> decide to share a bedroom and use the other for a study
study dez nuts, boy
>tfw my apartment is roughly same size but I probably pay 5 times less than a place in NYC
Damn how did mr.robot payed his rent?
>tfw I don't have any friends
Jesus, I thought the 13th Amendment prohibited owning people like that...
thot status: patrolled
And tourist guide said he was being ripped off.
Absolutely patrician apartment
Monica's apartment is probably the comfiest TV set of all time.
there's a USA today piece
today.com
90s -> $1200
today -> $2700
the same person designed all these sets?
Its unreal how badly renters are getting fucked in the ass these days.
>Multi camera sitcoms sure have an awful lot of triangular rooms
this isnt the reason, but keep in mind many open up for the shooting so the rooms sometimes are centered around a corner,.
I think the bigger question is how Kramer afforded his apartment.
Back in the 80s (when Seinfeld was being hatched), stand-up comedians made bank... Sort of like DJs these past 10 years.
>How did Jerry afford his apartment?
he was a very successful comedian; a clown, if you will. He worked under the stage name, "Pagliacci".
>Sort of like DJs these past 10 years.
DJs make a lot of money?
I read that response in Kevin O'Leary's voice
>Why are there two toilets in that bathroom.
Because their american you filthy third world animal.
One toilet is for peeing and the other is for shitting, most american homes have these basic fixtures.
I didn't realize the golden girls had bidets. They really cared about anal hygiene.
the architecture looks very san francisco
Popular ones, yes. Even average ones playing large clubs.
That was before the country was sold to the chinese and other globalists.
No these are actually posters by some artist selling renditions of television show floorplans.
100% agreed.
Although I think Frasier has the better apartment, Monica's is peak comfy.
I also never noticed the desk next to the window until I saw this.
Funnily enough Bob's burgers is set on the East coast. New Jersey specifically.
isnt it Bert and Ernie? WHy does it say Ernie and Bert? What timeline is this?
odd, it never occurred to me that they have two living rooms
Legal loophole I think, so the artist can sell them as posters.
This wrong it also lacks the heating ducts.
>Rear doors are missing I believe there are 2.
>Booth near front door only has the booth seat on one side not both.
>Bathrooms wrong
>load bearing pillars missing
>back room missing from Charlie episode where they shrink wrap everything.
>Stairwell to basement missing.
Haha imagine being so pathetic as to live in a shitty studio apartment like this wouldn't that be sad haha
More like 2 and a half, with the rumpus room. That, Maggie's room, and the basement aren't shown as much so it's sort of trippy to see it all laid out.
Spooky
>$2300
>one bedroom
>750 sqft
>surrounded by niggers
you sure showed us
they were lovers user
>Legal loophole I think, so the artist can sell them as posters.
Clearly the person who made that isnt thriving.
How much for an average show?
that's a really big studio apartment
>***rent controlled apartments***
Which somehow just lowers the quality since it doesn't make sense to spend on something that doesn't bring in the money
What's in the ? room?
The address that he provides in the film is false, but a similar building in the same neighborhood currently has two listings. One similar in size to Bateman's is almost $500k. If you were to rent you are looking at around $3,000/month. Upper West Side is an incredibly kino neighborhood. Bateman does have one of the best layouts of all time. Ideal living.
Paul Allen's apartment is not better from an interior perspective, but the view of Central Park paired with the proximity and implied view of the Guggenheim makes his view more kino, see pic related.
For you
based and sadpilled
Jerry's apartment doesn't have a shower?
Shower + bathtub
It definitely does because there's a whole episode about the super replacing all the shower heads in the building
You can't even rent a parking space in Manhattan for that little.
UWS OFF CPW ISNT SO-SO
ONE OF THE BEST RESIDENTIAL ZIPS IN THE COUNTRY
Holy shit I pay $1000 less than that for the same lmao
My apartment is this, but basically the living room is split in half and i've got a second bedroom. It's in brooklyn and I pay $1500 a month.
The plain wives are from rich or political family. Those men are making long term strategic moves.

You walk right into the tiny kitchen
They back onto the stairwell so hear footsteps at all hours
Their windows look out directly onto other buildings across the alley or onto the other walls of their own building, they have no view

Damn.
Is Paul Allens apartment really better?
Whats up with those 2 doors in Charlie's apartment that we've never seen open and are barricaded?
I think Charlie's building used to be a rundown hotel that they made into a rundown apartment. So one door would lead to his neighbor and the other is a closet
My guess is that the apartment was originally bigger and was broken up to make smaller ones.
Or that's were the bedrooms are and were sealed off for reasons.
That's Monica's secret messy closet
Chandler opens it up in one of the episodes
>how did a super autistic computer genius working in a highly paid industry afford basic rent.
he did pentesting before working at ecorp, that is a highly lucrative job so I can imagine money wasn't a worry. Also he lived in a shit neighborhood anyway

Then why don't you buy yourself a real fucking home?
Well it is a Canadian show.
making about 30k a year in the d.c. suburbs, and the best I can manage is renting a bedroom, and I managed to find a very good deal, so I know I'm paying about half of most people in my area doing the same
he never openly shows affection. never shows weakness. is like a spartan warrior constantly blocked by some kind of existential question in his mind, constantly asking himself why he's living moment to moment. girls love it, i dont know. he also is super thin, tall, and wears white t-shirts and smokes cigs.
Sesame Street is in MANHATTAN?!?!!? WTF!??
It was unironically a different time
DUH
ALWAYS FELT VERY SPANISH HARLEM
What an odd layout. It's easily large enough to have put a set of sliding double doors between the bedroom and living room.

Arrested development model home
>doesn't overlook the park
>obviously cheaper than Paul Allen's apartment
Imagine someone actually wanting to live in this dump. Probably the same kind of person who likes Silian Rail.
Theyre rent locked
Seeing a lot of combined shower/bath/toilet bathrooms in this thread, even for 2BR apartments. Is this normal in America? Here in [insert-english-speaking-nation-you-dont-give-a-fuck-about] those facilities are split if they're shared and only combined in ensuites.
>youll never blast a thick load into Lorelai and then have Rory eat it out of her daughter's pussy
Yes, its ubiquitous in American homes for toilets/baths to be in the same room, however toilet-sink rooms known as half-bathrooms are also in most houses as well
they haven't taken the hobopill
Did they ever release the plans for Coraline's house?
In the Real World, her real father's office is upstairs, but in the Other World, Coraline's Other-Father's study has a door that opens out to the fantastic garden, so it must be ground floor. Both of them have bay windows.
>don't call it that!
I'd like to see a floorplan of Malcolm In The Middle
This was all I could find, sorry.
Ty, user. It's np.
The door to the left, from this POV, leads to the fantastic garden. And you can see the bay window here. It's odd.
The house IRL is 6ft tall, the driveway was several hundred pounds of kitty litter. They built several models of the house so they could film from different perspectives. Compare this to the height of the Coraline puppets, which was about 9.5'' tall.
by calling out black people
constantly
No fuggina way.
>jerry has a bigger appartment than Patrick Dubsman
Holy.....
He was a boomer, it was normal back then.
I live in Saigon and my rent is $500 usd for 1200sq feet
It's pretty normal in most places around the world, not just the US.
In English countries when you live in an Appartment often bath-shower-toilet-sink/counter area is just one room
Even in bigger living spaces often these are combined at least when attached to a bedroom
Often on another floor it will just be a toilet
This is pretty normal all around the world though
This is so cool! I would have loved to live there
is this creepypasta
Frasier living large, goddamn.
Beautiful though.
The air conditioning doesn't work, hot water takes literally an hour to get hot, there's leakage.
He's doing well but there are constant jokes throughout the show that nobody he actually meets likes his act.
this is fairly accurate. if you can make 60-80k you can rent a 2-3 room apt for like 1.7 k in a lot of places and let your buds stay rent free. tell they asses to get jobs n stop eatin all yo damn food. goddamn son I told you I like that fucking bread for breakfast quit making stupid ass peanut butter sandwiches with my goddamn organic PB pourin out the oil n shit now my fucking protein shake aint gon be chocolate peanut butter I gotta get some fuckin bananas or some gay shit in there goddamn what was I thinking. don't live with your friends your friends are assholes but nah i love them but still nah fuck them broke ass niggas eatin my shit we always have taco tuesdays every friday night so long as cameron don't eat the goddamn ground turkey to make hamburgers eatin ass nigga. and dont get me started on the fortified chocolate milk that shit cost like 4.99 why the fuck can't you drink water if you thirsty nigga we got the filter and the ice on the door of the fridge but you thirsty for my goddamn chocolate milk!? you know that shit my luxury item I gots to have my french press covfefe on sunday mornings with chokky melk you faggot ass food eatin ass nigga. fuck dude i mean I love my bois (no homo) but these niggas need to back the fuck up fore they get smack the fuck up.

This. It was a building put in the middle of manhattan so the creatives could still afford to live there.
