Happy Festivus!
December 23rd, 2021 at 4:26 AM ^
Finally, a holiday for the rest of us!
December 23rd, 2021 at 4:36 AM ^
I GOTTA LOT OF PROBLEMS WITH YOU PEOPLE
December 23rd, 2021 at 5:53 AM ^
$100 to the Human Fund
December 23rd, 2021 at 7:25 AM ^
Quiet! You’ll get yours in a minute.
December 23rd, 2021 at 7:32 AM ^
Frank finds tinsel distracting. That's why he sits with his back to the tinsel-adorned door behind him. He wouldn't want to lose his train of thought during the airing of grievances.
December 23rd, 2021 at 9:28 AM ^
Kruger, you couldn't smooth a silk sheet if you had a hot date with a babe....I lost my train of thought.
December 23rd, 2021 at 6:23 AM ^
HEEEEEEY…. No bagel, no bagel, no bagel, no bagel, no bagel, HEY!
December 23rd, 2021 at 6:57 AM ^
I can’t wait until after dinner.
I got a BIG problem with the CFP committee willing to crown a national champion via forfeit.
December 23rd, 2021 at 5:11 PM ^
Georgia team is about to have a big outbreak of omicron. It may be too early and they will all recover before the game. I would take a forfeit to play Alabama in the NC game.
December 23rd, 2021 at 7:00 AM ^
The most wonderful holiday of the year - though this year I'm less inclined to air grievances than I am to pump it up. Don't you know?
December 23rd, 2021 at 7:26 AM ^
You don’t need glasses, you’re just weak! You’re weak!!!
December 23rd, 2021 at 7:28 AM ^
I can't do the feats of strength this year.
How about George?
December 23rd, 2021 at 7:45 AM ^
Let the Story of Festivus be told!
December 23rd, 2021 at 12:58 PM ^
Hard to believe this show is so old. I reminds me that Michigan won its last national championship the same year. 24 years ago!
December 23rd, 2021 at 1:00 PM ^
confession: i have never seen an episode of that show.
December 23rd, 2021 at 3:00 PM ^
Odd that you got negged for that.
I watched a few first run episodes back in the day. Mainly because the single women I knew at the time planned their evenings around Seinfeld and I planned my evenings around single women.
December 23rd, 2021 at 3:42 PM ^
Both Seinfeld and Friends were really popular when I was in undergrad and I just couldn’t get into them, much like Saturday Night Live it felt like there were bolts of hilarity surrounded by hours of drudgery(plus with Friends I hated Ross) and if I just waited the funny parts would be acted out or quoted at length enough for me so I could at least keep up with what was going on. Similar dynamic with HIMYM.
December 23rd, 2021 at 5:00 PM ^
I tried watching Friends but could never get into that series. IMO Seinfeld >>> Friends. I think they overlapped a couple years.
December 24th, 2021 at 8:29 AM ^
Freaking can’t stand Ross/Schwimmer.
December 23rd, 2021 at 4:57 PM ^
It was one of the few shows I would watch back then. I was in grad school at OU and working full time. I had to work a lot of 3rd shifts back then to go to school during the day.
December 23rd, 2021 at 8:06 AM ^
Originally I thought it was just something the writers of Seinfeld created but evidently it predated the show.
It was something the father of one of the writers had created, and when the producers heard the strange tale, they insisted it be worked into an episode because " It's crazy and hilarious and just so funny and so disturbing. It's awesome."

Thank you for the links. That Uproxx article is great.
December 23rd, 2021 at 11:23 AM ^
Shocked they didn’t do the bagged wall clock in Seinfeld, hilarious.
December 23rd, 2021 at 8:29 AM ^
My feat of strength was lifting a small TV in a hospital room.
December 23rd, 2021 at 3:36 PM ^
At my age, my only feat of strength would carrying a grudge.
December 23rd, 2021 at 8:46 AM ^
Get your poles up? You don’t want to save that for only one day of the year.
December 23rd, 2021 at 12:51 PM ^
The blue pills aren't free, dude. Sometimes you gotta pick your spots.
December 23rd, 2021 at 8:57 AM ^
My favorite thing about Festivus in the past 10 years has been the look on my daughters faces when I make them watch that scene. Unfortunately, this is the first year my daughters wont be with me for Christmas so we wont have that experience.
December 23rd, 2021 at 1:10 PM ^
Username checks out
December 23rd, 2021 at 10:02 AM ^
A festivus for the rest of us! Go Blue!!
December 23rd, 2021 at 12:17 PM ^
I got a LOT of problems with you people!
December 23rd, 2021 at 12:36 PM ^
I still don't get the pole thing? Should I go to a strip club and watch a pole dancer? Even though Today is not my gym day, I can go up to the gym and max out my bench press. The easiest thing will be shouting out your grievances after dinner.
December 23rd, 2021 at 1:11 PM ^
The aluminum pole has a very high strength to weight ratio
December 23rd, 2021 at 12:43 PM ^
Stop crying and fight your father!
December 23rd, 2021 at 2:06 PM ^
And a side buffet where you can make your own pizza
December 23rd, 2021 at 2:35 PM ^
No Snapple?
December 23rd, 2021 at 2:49 PM ^
No, too fruity.
December 23rd, 2021 at 5:23 PM ^

December 23rd, 2021 at 3:24 PM ^
WHAT AM I GONNA DO WITH ALL THIS PAELLA?!?!?
December 23rd, 2021 at 3:59 PM ^
Outstanding. The only reference I didn't get was pudding skin singles.
December 23rd, 2021 at 5:50 PM ^
George starts saving the skins of the pudding as singles in individual baggies.
December 23rd, 2021 at 1:35 PM ^
My favorite holiday.
I shared this episode with my daughter when she was 10 on Festivus. She did not find it funny or worth her time. I aired my grievances later that evening.
December 23rd, 2021 at 2:37 PM ^
As I rained blows upon him, I realized there had to be another way...
December 23rd, 2021 at 3:05 PM ^
Merry Christmas!!
December 23rd, 2021 at 6:00 PM ^
This isn't a grievance so much as a perplexity...why is Ryan Global Tax Services sponsoring a bowl game? Precisely how many potential clients are watching Miami (O) vs North Texas? One? Zero?
OK, it is a grievance...if I can find a sponsor for it. "That dunk [first down/third down stop/three-point shot/etc] was brought to you by" has made it impossible to listen to sports on the radio.
