Did anyone think this statement by Newmann was funny? You can be Honest and say no - Sitcoms Online Message Boards

He was mad at Jerry and looked and him with a frustrated expression and said-"I JUST WANT TO LET YOU KNOW JERRY THAT WHEN YOU CONTROL THE MAIL, YOU CONTROL INFORMATION!!!!!!!

lol

Who else got a chuckle out of that?

Whoever says no is lying. Thats one of Newman's best moments.

Seinatra · 07-13-2005, 06:27 PM

Not to get too technical, but I think the quote was closer to this:

"All right, all right. All right you go ahead. You go ahead and keep it secret. But you remember this - when you control the mail, you control ... information!"

Anyway I thought this was funny. It is funny in that Newman kind of shows himself to be silly because he is trying to make himself all important about what power he has and then ends it with saying he controls information - like so what, big deal, what does that mean??

His whole story about wanting to figure out what his boss is saying before this is also classic.

I loved the ENERGY that the actor who played newmann put into that line. I was defintely laughing my ass off-lol

I'm surprised you like Newman so much, considering he is sort of a goofy character and I know how you hate goofy characters Solomon.

The scene this thread is about was a goofy Newman moment. He may not have been goofy like Jack Tripper or Kramer, but he was a goofy character.

Belair · 07-15-2005, 04:51 PM

I don't find it that funny, but I was in hysterics in the episode where Kramer goes to court with Newman to help him get out of parking ticket. Newman put on a terrific performance in that!

How was that a goofy Moment? He was upset not Happy-lol I think what you and Brian are trying to say is he LOOKED goofy. His Look didn't match his personality. Newman was a cool dude

A classic line!
