What if the most popular sitcom of all time, “Seinfeld,” took place in 2012?
It’s hard to believe it’s been more than 14 years since the “show about nothing” went off the air, and while we still enjoy the nightly syndication episodes, two people figured out how a modern-day “Seinfeld” would look like with a new, popular Twitter handle.
Elaine joins JDate so she pretends to be Jewish. She meets an amazing guy who dumps her for being “too Jewy.” George discovers falafel.

@SeinfeldToday was created by Jack Moore, the editor of BuzzFeed Sports, and his friend, comedian Josh Gondelman. I’m pretty much constantly watching episodes in the background while I’m doing anything,” Moore told the Atlantic Wire. “I have a thumb drive with the whole series on it that I keep in my bag pretty much all the time.”
Many tweets just laugh at social networking apps, but check them out before they just start being about nothing:
Kramer starts selling large sodas on the black market. Jerry’s “Tonight Show” set is on Taxi TV and he becomes “Taxi Famous.”
