EspañolTHE YADA YADA
(Redirected from The Yada Yada (Seinfeld episode))
'"The Yada Yada"' is the 153rd episode of the sitcom ''Seinfeld''. The 19th episode of the 8th season, it aired on April 24, 1997.
George's girlfriend is big on using the phrase "yada yada yada". Jerry says that at least she is succinct, and it's like "dating the USA Today". Jerry's dentist, Tim, just became Jewish, and he is already making jokes that make Jerry uncomfortable. Jerry goes so far as to say that he only became Jewish for the jokes. Kramer and Mickey Abbott double-date, but they can't decide which of the women is right for them. Elaine is a character reference for a couple who are trying to adopt, but a story she tells during an interview destroys all hope of adoption. George drops by Jerry's dental appointment; Mickey and Kramer continue to fight over who gets Karen or Julie; George determines that his girlfriend might be leaving out some significant details concerning her overuse of the phrase "yada yada". He gets her to fill in the details, and discovers more than he wants to know. Jerry confesses to a priest about what he thinks of Tim's conversion; George drops by Jerry's confession; Kramer decides on the right woman, and Mickey also decides to make his a commitment. Tim hears about a dentist joke that Jerry told the priest, and deliberately prolongs an uncomfortable procedure. After hearing Jerry's complaints about Tim, Kramer accuses Jerry of being an "anti-dentite." Elaine lobbies on behalf of Beth and Arnie, and makes a sacrifice in order to try getting them a child. Meanwhile, Beth comes to Jerry for help when her marriage is falling apart; it does, and she accompanies Jerry to Mickey's wedding, where she reveals she is racist and Anti-Semitic.
★ The episode was allowed by NBC to run longer than the usual thirty minutes, and its slightly above-average length was even boasted about in promos. An edited version airs in syndication, cutting out several small scenes and dialogues, but the full-length version is available on the "Seinfeld" Season 8 DVD collection.
★ One of the most oft-mentioned episodes of the series, specifically for its focus on the phrase "yada yada", which went on to be included in the Oxford English Dictionary.[1] ''Seinfeld'' did not coin the phrase, however, and it was known to be used frequently by the comedian Lenny Bruce decades earlier. [2]
★ Even before this episode first aired, writer Peter Mehlman suspected that it would spawn a new "Seinfeld" catchphrase. However, his prediction regarding which phrase would catch on was slightly incorrect; he anticipated that it would be the phrase "anti-dentite" that people remembered most fondly.
★ Beacause this episode is shortened in syndication, many great lines are taken out of the episode such as:
★ 'Tim Whatley': You know we have the highest suicide rate of any profession.
★ 'Jerry': (sarcasticly) Is that why it's so hard to get an appointment?
★ 'Jerry': Whatley's from Jersey!
★ 'Kramer': Yeah, and now he's a full-fledged American!
★ 'Jerry': Well what do you think she was tired from?
★ 'George': Well obviously the yada yada.
★ 'Elaine': You must be so proud.
★ 'Mrs. Abbott': Oh, we never thought he'd settle down. Well.. not again.
★ 'Jerry': I notice she's big on the phrase "yada yada".
★ 'George': Is "yada yada" bad?
★ 'Jerry': No, "yada yada" is good! She's very succinct!
★ 'George': She IS succinct!
★ 'Jerry': Yeah, it's like you're dating USA Today.
★ 'Jerry': Kramer, he's just a dentist.
★ 'Kramer': Yeah, and you're an anti-dentite!
★ 'Jerry': I am not an anti-dentite!
★ 'Kramer': You're a ''rabid'' anti-dentite! Oh, it starts with a few jokes and some slurs. "Hey, denty!" Next thing you know you're saying they should have their own schools.
★ 'Jerry': They do have their own schools!
★ 'Kramer': Yeah!....
★ 'George': You don't think she'd yada yada sex?
★ 'Elaine': (raises hand) I've yada yadaed sex.
★ 'George': Really?
★ 'Elaine': Yeah, I met this lawyer, we went to dinner, I had the lobster bisque, we went back to my apartment, yada yada yada, I never heard from him again.
★ 'Jerry': But you yada yadaed over the best part!
★ 'Elaine': No, I mentioned the bisque.
★ 'Jerry': Anyway, I wanted to talk you about Dr. Whatley. I have a suspicion that he's converted to Judaism purely for the jokes.
★ 'Father Curtis': And this offends you as a Jewish person.
★ 'Jerry': No, it offends me as a comedian.
★ 'Dr. Abbott':(Mickey's Father, Speaking to Jerry) That's ''Doctor'' Abbott D-D-S! Tim Whatley was one of my students, and if this wasn't my son's wedding day I'd knock your teeth out, you anti-dentite bastard!
★ 'George': Listen to this. Marcy comes over, she tells me that her ex-boyfriend was over late last night and yada, yada, yada, I'm really tired today.

★ 'Beth': Hey, what do you call a doctor who failed out of med school?

★ 'George': Is it normal for your teeth to make a noise? Like a hissing, or a chirping?
★ 'Jerry': Dentists?
★ 'Beth': Yeah, who needs 'em? Not to mention the blacks and the Jews.
(Jerry fakes a smile)
★ 'Elaine': Where's Beth?
★ 'Jerry': She went out to get her head shaved.
