I read that, “A smile like no other" and was confused at the picture until I read the title again.

[–]idiosidiot 73 points74 points ago

Me too, I thought OP meant it as an homage to Seinfeld as being the only show who can make us smile in a very special way.

[–]zergling50 20 points21 points ago

Thank god im not the only one

[–]Heatbeat 6 points7 points ago

"I don't see a smile, what the fuck, he skipped the frame where Kramer smiles after he says this"

...I am not a clever man.

I read it as "a smell like no other. I guess I am not as optimistic as you are.

[–]Chazzey_dude 6 points7 points ago

I saw 'a slime like no other'. I don't even know.

[–]antag4123 3 points4 points ago

Yeah dude it makes me simile that I wasnt the only one

[–]luagh45 1 point2 points ago

I came here looking to see why it said 'smile' after reading it several times and seeing no smiles. Hooray for top comments.

[–]Scotty2300 1 point2 points ago

I'm just as happy as you are!

I'll give you that one... That is pretty damn happy.

[–]floor-pi 0 points1 point ago

Me too. Just after that line, Kramer lets out a wry little smile, which I thought was being referred to. I've been waiting to use that line for years now..

[–]JTyler82 0 points1 point ago

Thank god I wasn't the only one. Thanks OP

It refers to itself like a... self referential thing.

[–]LORDJEW_VAN_CUNTFUCK 25 points26 points ago

Still not getting it.

[–]HigherFive 49 points50 points ago

"A simile like no other" is a simile like no other. Homologicality, ho!

[–]LORDJEW_VAN_CUNTFUCK 9 points10 points ago

Ahh, the wording is what through me off. "I was good with".

why am I so happy about this?

[–]foggart 51 points52 points ago

Seinfeld wasn't about nothing, it was about the little things that doesn't seem to matter but kinda does.

[–]nachosthatrpink 33 points34 points ago

NO IT WAS ABOUT NOTHING!

[–]foggart 12 points13 points ago

YOU'RE ABOUT NOTHING!

[–]Muffins306 8 points9 points ago

The slogan of the show was "the show about nothing." The show was actually about everything.

[–]UpfrontFinn 20 points21 points ago

Question: Why do americans wear towels in a sauna?

[–]alaws 107 points108 points ago

I think it's mostly related to those three being on television.

[–]donkey_on_the_moon 10 points11 points ago

It's a TV show with PG rating so they have to....but you are right to a certain extent, we are much more likely to wear shorts in saunas than a lot of other countries. But there are a lot of people who do go completely naked.

The only country I have been to was Japan. They had actual bath houses just for hot-tubs and saunas. I felt completely comfortable naked, it was just a bunch of older guys and women. Where I'm from in America if you want to go to a sauna you go to a community center. Which is a massive building with swimming pools, weight lifting, theater, basketball court, soccer field. Sometimes a gym will have a sauna but a community center is a lot cheaper and has everything a gym has plus more.

The reason I don't go nude in the saunas in America is because the place is swarming with young children and families. The problem I have is that some people view every man as a possible sexual predator. You've heard of the airline policy were they move men if they are setting next to a child. Before hearing that story I would have felt comfortable sitting next to a kid, but now I would feel weird because now I know how everyone would be viewing me. I'm very afraid of a crazy parent bringing a kid in the sauna and start yelling because we are perverts who are exposing ourselves, and some parents love using their kids to get that type of attention. You have no idea how perverted some suburban house moms are, they are bored and have nothing better to do than let their imagination run wild and always see the worse possible thing that could happen in every situation.

TL;TR- I have no problem with my body, it's just that I feel like other people constantly have their mind in the gutter here in America.

[–]UpfrontFinn 5 points6 points ago

Thank you for taking time to answer my question, though it just raises more questions in my head because in Finland if you wear a towel in sauna then they think you're some kind of sexual weirdo :P

[–]mk1709 5 points6 points ago

I went to a sauna once where people wore their swimsuits in the sauna.

As an American Finn, I was appalled and OH GOD, the smell was horrendous.

I miss Finland, to put things shortly. And Fazerin Sininen.

[–]435645687645 4 points5 points ago

In Finland it's forbidden to wear anything in most public saunas unless it's a sauna for both men and women. And if you wear a towel in a public sauna in Finland.. your gonna have a bad time.

[–]ventomareiro 24 points25 points ago

I am not entirely comfortable placing the family jewels on top of other men's ass sweat.

[–]wacrover 7 points8 points ago

Does that go for everywhere, or just in the sauna?

[–]ReverendGlasseye 13 points14 points ago

You know, I'm not that comfortable with other men looking at my micropenis and feeling more insecure about myself?

However, in locker rooms, men are either in the nude or with a towel over their lower parts.

[–]delta_epsilon_zeta -1 points0 points ago

Another question: Why is everyone pronouncing "sauna" wrong?

And "Ikea" too. Stop it!

[–]pppihus 0 points1 point ago

English version sounds really weird. Finns have it correct, approved by an Estonian.

[–]Bradburn777 -1 points0 points ago

I heard the laughter and slap bass in my head.

[–]CannaJava -1 points0 points ago

This is seriously my favorite quote of all time. If you're ever with me in a sauna, chances are I'll say this. Feel free to ask if I'm a redditor after.

[–]ignoramus_at_work -1 points0 points ago

Someone tell me, is there a god damn Kramer subreddit?

[–]Turnip_Blaster 0 points1 point ago

Yea, but it's mostly filled by white supremacists.

[–]Arntown 0 points1 point ago

Hmm, I guess Seinfeld is not my type of comedy. I don't understands what's funny about this

[–]Squaseghost -1 points0 points ago

What is your type of comedy?

[–]Arntown 1 point2 points ago

How do you answer a question like this? The only thing I know is that I do not find Seinfeld funny, so that's probably not my type of comedy

[–]givesnoshits -1 points0 points ago

If you actually watched Seinfeld to any reasonable extent, you would find it funny.

[–]Arntown 1 point2 points ago

I have watched about 3 episodes. I mean, do I have to watch one whole season to find it funny?

Just because you and a lot of other people find this show funny, doesn't mean that I have to find it funny, too. And yeah, maybe I'm missing out something but I can't help it, it's not my choice to dislike this show.

[–]givesnoshits -1 points0 points ago

You have watched less than 3 episodes and you already made your decision on whether or not the show is funny at all or not? That's a stretch.

[–]Arntown 1 point2 points ago

I have watched exactly 3 episodes. And if I watch 3 episodes of a show that is supposed to be funny and I just don't find any of these episodes funny, then I don't continue to watch it.

Do you think this is wrong? What do you suggest, how many episodes should I watch?

[–]givesnoshits 0 points1 point ago

I don't believe you now. You say "about" 3 earlier and now you say exactly 3, which leads me to believe you have watched 5 or 10 minutes of 3 episodes.

[–]Arntown 0 points1 point ago

Life's to short for such shit discussions with folks who are reading so much into my choice of words just because they can't deal with someone not liking their precious comedy show

[–]heliosmj12 -4 points-3 points ago

haha classic laughed hard

[–]TheAdAgency -2 points-1 points ago

Is it a simile if you are actually performing the action your are referencing? I thought they had to be non-literal.

[–]givesnoshits -1 points0 points ago

That's the joke. Kramer made a simile even though it's literal.

[–]whittler -1 points0 points ago

It is literally a sauna in here.

[–]seinsmelled 0 points1 point ago

More like a Jewish workout.

[–]postsinsensitively -5 points-4 points ago

...I don't get why this is upvotable?

Yes I too remember that mildly funny quip from 10 years ago about him using a simile incorrectly in a situation where the simile is in fact, the circumstance.

Lame.

[–]rodion_vs_rodion 1 point2 points ago

Look at the title again. Squint your eyes and think really hard.

[–]postsinsensitively -3 points-2 points ago

yup... still not funny.

[–]givesnoshits -1 points0 points ago

someone is a Debby-Downer

[–]chadsexytime -5 points-4 points ago

if he stated "it is a sauna in here" would that have been a metaphor?

[–]givesnoshits 0 points1 point ago

No. A metaphor is comparing two unlike things without the use of "like" or "as." Since there is no "like" or "as" in the sentence, it would just be a statement. Technically, "it's like a sauna in here" isn't really a simile since he is literally in a sauna but that's the joke, obviously.
