Larry David bet he was unable to masturbate.

It ended with the biggest episode in the history of television,

even before "Seinfeld" appeared on Netflix, there were a variety of parades of the best and biggest episodes of the series.

In almost all of them, "The Contest" came in first place.

In our parade, by the way, he came in second place - but only because of an eccentric editorial member who pushed him there.

What’s more, the TV Guide chose the episode not only as the best in the history of “Seinfeld,” but in general in the annals of American television.

The creators of the series also agree that this is the episode that made it a thing of the past.

The plot, as I recall, describes how the four characters engage in an intervention: Which of them will manage to hold the longest without masturbating?

This idea is based on a real intervention in which Larry David was involved back in the 1980s.

He went with him for a long time but did not dare to offer it to Jerry Seinfeld because he did not believe such a script could reach the screen.

More on Walla!

It was the biggest episode of "Seinfeld."

26 years after its premiere, it is more amazing than ever

But it came, also because the root "ANN" was never explicitly stated, which facilitated the broadcast of the episode, nor did it harm its artistic quality, but on the contrary - made it more refined and complex.

The fear was that viewers would flood the network with angry phone calls, but the complaints were few. "The Intervention" broke Seinfeld's ratings records, made it the most talked-about series in America, and entered the Pantheon.

Binger, the podcast from the podium, returns to the most canonical episodes of "Seinfeld" on the occasion of its rise on Netflix, and of course we will also discuss this episode, which among other things marks the first appearance of Estelle Harris as George's mother. Oren Yossifovich, Nir Kaplan and Avner Shavit discuss behind-the-scenes stories, the chapter's groundbreaking legacy, inspired by the production of 'Hot, Hot, Boiling!' And in the question - if they had filmed him today, who would have replaced John F. Kennedy?And Nior as the hunk that Elaine is flirting with?
