... not what you think it is, probably. Last night NBC had The 50 Funniest Phrases of All-Time special, and here are the top ten phrases. For the whole list, click here.

The top 50 list is pretty good, but this top ten has several lame entries, eh?

1. "Yada, yada, yada" (Seinfeld)
2. "Doh!" (The Simpsons)
3. "How you doin'?" (Friends)
4. "Ayyyyy" (Happy Days)
5. "We are two wild and crazy guys!" (Saturday Night Live)
6. "Burn" (That 70s Show)
7. "Oh my God, they killed Kenny!" (South Park)
8. "Lucy, you've got some 'splainin to do" (I Love Lucy)
9. "Excuuuuuuuse Me" (Saturday Night Live)
10. "Homey don't play dat" (In Living Color)

A lot of words and phrases from Seinfeld have made it into our everyday language. Yada yada yada, not that there's anything wrong with it, close talker, hipster doofus, to name just a few.

TBS has a contest at their site. They've created a poster that includes 38 references to the show. Can you find them all? The answers are available at a link just below the poster. Some of them are hard to figure out, but you can enlarge the poster.

Well, you knew this would happen sooner or later. I'm just glad I haven't gone crazy buying the single season sets.

On the same day that the ninth and final season of Seinfeld is released (November 6), Sony will also release Seinfeld: The Complete Series. Not only will the set contain every single episode, there will be tons of extras for fans too. One of the more intriguing extras is a 226 page coffee table book ("a coffee table book about coffee tables!") that will come in the box, with cast memories, photos, trivia, yada, yada, yada.

I'm not sure what is more infuriating about this article, the fact that they try to convince us that the phrase "not so much" was first used on Mad About You and Buffy The Vampire Slayer, or the fact that anyone in the world actually thought that the phrase "yada yada yada" was invented by the people at Seinfeld.

When you get older, you begin to realize how fast pop culture moves and what a short memory a lot of people have when it comes to TV shows, movies, and music. I (and other people I know) was using the phrase "not so much" in the 1980s, so it must have been around even before then. And as for "Yada yada yada," the article does point out that it was used by Lenny Bruce in the 60s, and I bet that it didn't originate with him.
