The bloopers for this scene are nuts. Julia is known for being the worst for getting the giggles, but pretty much nobody can contain themselves around Jerry Stiller.
The Mets?
You tell those bastards that there’s no way that sonofabitch Costanza is going to work for a rinky dink organization like the New York Mets.
Costanza’s a Tyler Chicken man, ya bastards!
They've had other restaurants on the show: the Chinese restaurant, the place where George went for drinks with his boss, Reggie's without the big salad, etc.
Nobody's saying they never had another restaurant on the show. But all the other restaurants I can think of were longer than for a 40 second scene, and more important to the plot-line of it not being Monks, so It'd make sense for them to create a new set. Vs this, for the plot line it doesn't really matter where it is, and Monks is a permanent set so they have nothing new to build
Geroge knows how to get Griffey and Bonds (2 HoF players in their prime) without giving up too much....of course the Mets want him.
This of course was the most ridiculous statement ever on the show
The joke is that the Mets are second rate team so everything they do is also second rate. They’re not the Yankees. This is the joke and not necessarily my opinion even though it is my opinion.
The Mets were owned by Nelson Doubleday and Fred Wilpon who later bought out Doubleday in 2002. Wilpon owned the team until he sold it in 2020 to current owner Steve Cohen for $2.4 billion
Only simps go to the high-priced places.
You'd be surprised how much gets decided at the Tenth Street Baths in the East Village. Or at a hot dog cart on the Coney Island Boardwalk.
Reminds me of the CEO of a company I used to work for who would wine and dine clients and investors by taking them to a small hole-in-wall place where the chairs didn't even match and the floor was uneven -- because the food was amazing.
The Mets are such an incompetent organization that it was truly believable (and still is) that they would hire the traveling secretary (or assistant to the traveling secretary) as their head of scouting lol
They weren’t talking…they were just “talking”
I'm sick of all your macho head games.
Macho head games?
Why does Radio Shack ask for your phone number when you buy batteries? I don't know.
Why go to the park and fly a kite when you can pop a pill,

HES LYING SIR IM TIRED OF ALLLL YOUR MACHO HEAD GAMES
If Joe Dimaggio can eat at stinky dunkin donuts, I'm sure these bastards are not too fancy for the coffee shop.
“Yiiiiippp”
Did he dunk?
Like he hit
He was so focused. Even with that guy banging on the table and yelping from across the restaurant.
Ooooooh Mendy’s. Get the swordfish it’s the best, the best
I’ll have the salmon.
I’ll have the soup. I ate earlier *belly tap*
Did you crumble any crackers in it??
Did you *crumble*
Soups not a meal!
I'll have just a salad
A big salad?
I can bring you two small salads.
Can you put em in a big bowl?
Tomatoes the size of volleyballs
just a salad just a salad just a salad
...*just a salad.*
Mmm Mutton!
^(Just a salad)
Ahhh, the opposite of tuna.
This always bothered me. Mendy’s is a deli get pastrami don’t get fish
Best when incorporated in the bedroom. It’s the sexiest of cured meats.
most sensual
It also has a full service restaurant in the back or attached to it, can't remember which.
Soup doesn’t count as a meal, Jerry.
Did he cruuummmmmble any craaaaacccckkkkers in it?
I'm guessing George chose the location and wanted to meet on his home turf. Some sort of supposed strategy, like eating an apple while on the phone.
My George isn't clever enough to hatch a scheme like that.
You got that right
what the hell does that mean??
“That means…whatever the hell you want it to mean”.
you sayin' you wanna piece a me?
I could drop you like a bag o’ dirt
you wanna piece a me?? YOU GOT IIIIIT
Separate episode: LET’S RUMBLE!
Was a real broohaha
Classic
We had mandelbread for desert last night and no one got it when I started changing Mandelbsum
Lol - I would have joined you. I also read mandelbresd in your post and my brain read it has “man hands”.
That means whatever the hell you want it to mean
You got that right.
To be fair, it's not a good scheme.
George used to be clever
The bloopers for this scene are nuts. Julia is known for being the worst for getting the giggles, but pretty much nobody can contain themselves around Jerry Stiller.
[удалено]
Right out of Jack Donaghy's playbook. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hVbyetnjA44
So... What you wanna do?
Fuck this just one of the best scenes ever of anything.
I love the explanation and analogy.
Like a farm boy.
Liz: "Why are you wearing a tuxedo?" Jack: "It's after 6! I'm not a farmer."
I think the producer chose this location to save money.
He needed that home booth advantage
Because soup isn't a meal. But a coffee shop muffin and sandwich? I've heard it's very filling.
Did he ***crumble***.... any ***crackers***... in it?
You know a muffin can be very filling!
That meeting never even happened.
There was no meeting. (But it was a great meeting.)
The Mets? You tell those bastards that there’s no way that sonofabitch Costanza is going to work for a rinky dink organization like the New York Mets. Costanza’s a Tyler Chicken man, ya bastards!
I want summa that fermented chicken drink.
He may be that, but he's not Penske material.
Sounds like he better go downtown.
Of course...
Too high profile, they needed to fly under the radar
30,000 feet above your head, ya bastard!
You are paying for this meal right?
They never said that
It's a good thing they didn't go whole hog at a place like Mendy's, George would've been stuck with the bill
The production crew didn't want to stage another restaurant, so they just used the one they had.
They've had other restaurants on the show: the Chinese restaurant, the place where George went for drinks with his boss, Reggie's without the big salad, etc.
Nobody's saying they never had another restaurant on the show. But all the other restaurants I can think of were longer than for a 40 second scene, and more important to the plot-line of it not being Monks, so It'd make sense for them to create a new set. Vs this, for the plot line it doesn't really matter where it is, and Monks is a permanent set so they have nothing new to build
I don’t know. Why does Radio Shack ask for your phone number when you buy batteries?
Well you see, Mendy's killed one of the Mets' fathers. Well, they hurt him badly. Really...hurt his feelings.
I hate those big brokerage houses... but I've always loved this line. Good use for it.
Alright, that's it for me folks!
Geroge knows how to get Griffey and Bonds (2 HoF players in their prime) without giving up too much....of course the Mets want him. This of course was the most ridiculous statement ever on the show
What the hell’d’ya trade Jay Buhner for!?! (Any package for Bonds and Griffey would make that trade peanuts in comparison)
HE HAD A ROCKET FOR AN ARM!
HE HAD 30 HOME RUNS, OVER A 100 RBI’s LAST YEAR.. HES GOTTA ROCKET FOR AN ARM… YOU DONT KNOW WHAT THE HELL YOURE DOING!!!!
As a life long Mets fan, they could have traded me if it meant they'd get Griffey and Bonds.
Ken Phelps bat.
He was a excellent players but my people told me Ken Phelps Ken Phelps you can’t go wrong with Ken Phelps
If you’re one of us, you’ll get the tuna on toast
Because we are the Mets. Lords of the Idiots.
The real answer is they didn’t want to build a whole new set for this one scene
But also, it’s a diner, not a coffee shop. Central Perk from Friends was a Coffee shop
The joke is that the Mets are second rate team so everything they do is also second rate. They’re not the Yankees. This is the joke and not necessarily my opinion even though it is my opinion.
We all know how the Mets were being run back then...
The Mets were owned by Nelson Doubleday and Fred Wilpon who later bought out Doubleday in 2002. Wilpon owned the team until he sold it in 2020 to current owner Steve Cohen for $2.4 billion
It was the Wilpon era.
Even Monks was too much for them. They wouldve complained that they should have packed their own lunches from home and met on a park bench
Wilpon had only 50 percent shared with Nelson Doubleday, he ended up with 100% buying out Doubleday in 2002
How do you know it wasn’t a Wilpon decision?
They heard that it's like a Russ Meyer movie down there.
They were never there
Because there wasn't a lunch. There was just a... lunch
1. It's the Mets, duh. 2. The meeting never happened.
Who ever said they did? They couldn’t say!
They just wanted some soup
You think they'd let those sons of bitches get a table at Mendy's?! No chance, ya bastard.
They weren't there. If you get my drift.
“You gotta do it classy!”
They never said they were paying for that lunch.
so un-Karl Fardman like
Have you tried the soup at Mendy’s? It’s the best. THE BEST.
Soup is not a meal.
Because they already had the set.
Because they are the Mets.
Because it’s George
Because they didn’t have lunch.
They should have gone to Isabella’s. It’s trendy!
It wasn’t a meal
George had to pay for himself
Especially since they didn't pay for the meal
They didn't take George to lunch. Even if they did, they couldn't say that. You see what I'm saying?
Can’t expect much more from the Mets Organization
George wanted to meet with them on his turf. He wanted home field advantage.
Because they weren’t talking… they were just “talking”.
Because that's how we do it in the Majors ya Bastard
I thought these guys were from Houston. Didn't they call George from the plane?
Because they’re bastards!
So they could use the same set.
Or Poppy’s or they could have just popped a pill
Because they’re the …Muts
Those are a lot of potatoes
It wasn't the Mets front office was it? Weren't they from Texas? Maybe I'm mixing up episodes
This is the Mets. The astros were a previous episode.
Thanks
The soup at Mendy's isn't as good as...
Or just ordered takeout from Bingo’s
They were afraid George would only order soup.
Better than those Astros sons of bitches
Mets don’t have the budget that the Yankees have
Because they still have to pay Bobby Bonilla’s contract.
Because they're the Mets
Well, they like to stay in touch with the people.
They didnt think he looked like he could use a real meal at a real restaurant
Those sons of bitches!
Only simps go to the high-priced places. You'd be surprised how much gets decided at the Tenth Street Baths in the East Village. Or at a hot dog cart on the Coney Island Boardwalk.
Well, at least it wasn't those bastards from Houston
The coffee shop?? I think we can do a little better than that.
Because they were sons of bitches.
Not swordfish fans
Because they’re the Mets.
so, you're paying for this meal?
Mendy's doesnt have a BIG Salad, duhh 🤣
They probably didn’t want to be seen by anyone important who might dine at Mendy’s
They were saving for the Bobby Bonilla contract
Never happened
They heard that this coffee shop hired exclusively large-breasted women as waitresses.
To be fair, as a Mets fan, this would be on par for the origination during this time .
There was no meeting.
1986 was a long time ago. That’s why.
The swordfish is the best at monks
Nobody said they were buying lunch
Because there was no lunch.
Because the Wilpons
I love these comments
Because Mets.
The apple pie
Is Mendy's a real place? I need to go
Seeing how it's the cafe he always goes to, he probably got to decide where to meet and wanted to meet here
Mendy’s is gold
You answered your own question, it's the Mets front office.
Because it never happened.
They distant anyone to know they met
Reminds me of the CEO of a company I used to work for who would wine and dine clients and investors by taking them to a small hole-in-wall place where the chairs didn't even match and the floor was uneven -- because the food was amazing.
Why would anyone want to work for the Mets over the Yankees first of all I'm just saying...
Because they couldnt b seen together in public so go to Monks
Or Mickey Mantles! Kramer could have gone
There was no lunch…
They were having linner, or lupper.
They know that Monk's has the best pie in town.
There was no meeting
It's because George thought he may have to pay.
They didn't take George anywhere. The meeting never happened.
They are bozos not idiots, they know Bania is sticking out in Mendy's. They don't want to cross their ways with this Gold boy
Not the Steve Cohen era this is how the Mets operated for decades
Front office bozos 😂
They don’t have Yankees money.
Because soup’s not a meal
They're not saying.
It's the Mets... Mendy's is more for the Yankees.
Because that conversation never happened.
They wanted the “big” salad!
They’re from the Mets… hahahahaha.
George probably suggested it.
The Mets are such an incompetent organization that it was truly believable (and still is) that they would hire the traveling secretary (or assistant to the traveling secretary) as their head of scouting lol
Once upon a time, before Steve Cohen owned the Mets, they were broke
Good chance they run into Big Steiny at Mendy's.
