This parody is only funny if you are a devoted Seinfeld fan, the type who knows every line of every episode

Frank Lautenberg and his Chief of Staff, Tim Yehl, sit before a desk, behind which sits lawyer Angelo Genova, who has a large list in front of him, from which he's reading. Lautenberg looks nervous, while Yehl is tapping at a soda can, looking bored. They are discussing whether Lautenberg will seek re-election to the United States Senate in 2008.

GENOVA: Situation number four. You're breathing on your own, you're conscious, but with no muscular function.

LAUTENERG: Well, would I be able to communicate?

GENOVA: I don't see how.

YEHL: Ach, I don't like the sound of this one.

LAUTENBERG: Huhh, yeah, let's pull the cord.

YEHL: Yank it like (pops open soda can) you're starting a mower.

GENOVA: Moving on. You have liver, kidneys and gall bladder, but no central nervous system.

Lautenberg looks at Yehl, who gives a double thumbs-down.

LAUTENBERG: Well, I gotta have a central nervous system.

GENOVA: Okay. One lung, blind and you're eating through a tube.

LAUTENBERG: Naw, that's not my style.

YEHL: Bore-ing.

GENOVA: Alright, you can eat. But machines do everything else.

LAUTENBERG: (hesitant) Uhm...

Lautenberg looks to Yehl, who nods.

YEHL: I'd stick.

LAUTENBERG: Yeah, yeah. Stick. (to Yehl) 'Cos I could still ride the Senators Only elevator.

YEHL: (points to Lautenberg and smiles in agreement) That's right.

Judging from the response, or lack thereof I am more confident in my theory now more than ever, that Seinfeld is the MOST overrated show in television history.

Try an Everybody Loves Raymond analogy next time. Now THERE'S a show you bust a gut laughing at!
