Buddy Rich Rants
For Your Viewing Pleasure:
Larry David & Jerry Seinfeld speak on the newly released Seinfeld 5th & 6th season DVDs about Rich's volcanic temper, and point out three instances where Rich's signature rants were incorporated into the show. In Season 5 Episode 22, The Opposite, George Costanza hurls threats at two noisy movie patrons seated behind him, using the modified quotation, "How about we step outside and I'll show you what it's like!" Seinfeld shares in the commentary how he marvels at how Rich could insult someone in terms so broad. In Season 6 Episode 24, The Understudy, Frank Costanza quotes his old Korean lover's father, saying "This guy...he's not my kind of guy." The final Rich reference appeared in Season 9 Episode 157, The Butter Shave, as Jerry deliberately bombs on stage in order to thwart Kenny Bania from "riding his coattails," proclaiming, "Then let's see how he does, up there, without all the assistance!"
Here is the Link for the ranting in context:
