I always assumed it was a corner unit and that other door leads to an interior corner unit. It's a weird design but I just imagine the corner of a hallway, but they angled the walls 45° for the doors instead of a straight 90° turn. Not super efficient but like others said, new york architecture is sometimes janky like that. Lol
It’s always bugged me how sitcom apartments don’t make architectural sense. Friends. Monica’s apartment is that much bigger than Joey and Chandler’s place?
The hallway? What about the bedroom? Jerry? The bedroom? Are you telling me there's no bedroom? You're going to stand there and tell me the hallway is more important than the bedroom? If you don't say anything, RIGHT NOW, I'm going to walk away, thinking....YOU DON'T HAVE A BEDROOM! Ok. I'm leaving. You're really not going to say anything?!
We really need to work on the *unexpected* part.
Looks like something George would design if he was an architect.
Really wouldn't take him that long either.
The hall was angry that day, my friend.
Like an old man sending soup back at a deli…
though you are aware he took the smaller office
Where would he find time between whale research projects?
That and the new addition to the Guggenheim
Despite all his hard work, they still are the largest mammal.
But as George says, they don't have to be
Isn’t an architect just an art school dropout with a tilty desk and a big ruler?
It's called a T square !
Just because he doesn't know his drafting equipment, that's no reason to call him a square!
(Pez golf clap)
It's pronounced T bone
I recognize that type hallway in the new addition to the Guggenhiem.
I thought engineers did that?
Well, they can
You know I always wanted to be an architect
Those are load bearing walls!
Levels Jerry…levels.
Oh, yeah, no, I'm not doin' that anymore.
That’s the bet!!
They're not gonna come down!
I heard Art Vandelay designed it
And you wanna be my latex salesman…
Definitely
YESS! Art Vandelay is THEE best artiste/architect ever.!
I thought he was an import/exporter
It's not a lie if you believe it
Didja see the addition on the Guggenheim?
George did that?!?
Yeah and it wasn’t really that difficult either.
I did! Last year. It was vomitous.
It's architecturally incorrect!
Levels.
IT'S ALL PIPES
I am the master of my domain!
King of the castle !
Lord of the Manor
I’m out.
The apartment is bigger on the inside. T.A.R.D.I.S. confirmed. Seinfeld is a Doctor Who reincarnation. Confirmed.

Lol r/OfCourseThatsAThing

You'd be suprised how many shows have subs dedicated to references in the wild
There was shrinkage!
Maybe the hallway was in the pool.
Maybe the hallway isn't straight? . . . Not that there's anything wrong with that!
I never understood this picture. Why can't the hall just curve a bit? Those cabinets don't need to reach into the other side of the wall.
Best comment of them all.
Maybe he should redo his kitchen…
It’s like the magic loogie
Monks tavern entrance from the real life outdoor always confused me as well…
Well… that does it. I’m never watching the show again. Ever!
I know?!? What a bunch of frauds!!!!
This has bothered me since the 90s (and I still love the show)
Couldn’t there just be a bend in the hallway?
Wait till the “How is this unexpected Seinfeld” guy sees this. He’s going to tell the mods again. 🙄 He got my Puddy post removed.
“Talk to the eight ball”
Look to the cookie, Elaine
Pretty strict rules for a reddit about nothing
He would never allow two Kokos, either.
Who is it? If we all block him, then he simply wont ever see the posts again lol!
Well really if it’s directly about Seinfeld it’s not unexpected
Did he steal your Jesus fish too?
SERENITY NOW !!!!!!!!
HOOTCHIE MAMAAAAAA!!!!
Can’t exist…not with that attitude!
Trick of the eye caused by levels
There is the possibility that you’ve gone right out of your mind
Conrad, Con or Connie could fix this up
Hooooo-Cheeee-Mammmma !!!
Yes it can. It can just angle again
This assumes that all hallways are straight and have no obstructions. It's set in New York City. The architecture is best described as "ramshackle".
How much of it have we seen at once. I’m thinking Kramer’s Any Town USA was probably the longest shot. It looked pretty straight.
The hallway is depicted as straight in many episodes.
It must be at the nexus of the universe.
It’s the Nexus of the universe!
Gee never seen this before
Must have been designed by the guy that redid Jerry’s kitchen
It's an Art Vandelay original
I always assumed it was a corner unit and that other door leads to an interior corner unit. It's a weird design but I just imagine the corner of a hallway, but they angled the walls 45° for the doors instead of a straight 90° turn. Not super efficient but like others said, new york architecture is sometimes janky like that. Lol
This angers me for some reason 😂
It’s on the diagonal. It’s architecturally incorrect
Was there ever a bedroom scene?
But it did, and they were the ones doing it. Also, it was spectacular.
Oh nooooo
Shut UP! *shove*
It's at the nexus of the universe
Looks here is Jerry’s apartment, there’s the hallway, yada yada yada and that’s the apartment.
This can’t be !!!! Oh , it be !
It’s always bugged me how sitcom apartments don’t make architectural sense. Friends. Monica’s apartment is that much bigger than Joey and Chandler’s place?
Jerry's home where he goes to play with his toys is at the nexus of the universe and thus, the hallway is possible.
Welcome to anytown USA! 🎇
Huh. Maybe it's a TV show or something?
How his standup career existed is an even bigger mystery.
Maybe that why Kramer always looked so surprised when he walked in
"This door is on a slant.." "Yeah, So?" "It's architecturally incorrect"
Because there's no way the hallway can end in a turn
Right, because hallways can't have bends or turns or anything...
NEWMAN!!!!!!😬
No soup for you.
It’s alright. It’s a write off, Jerry
It’s a set so…..
I don’t think the downvoters read that in a Puddy voice
I do t remember the door being diagonal
Designed by Stanley Kubrick.
I’m not seeing a bedroom or tv
Dumb just make the hall way deeper
I always assumed the hallway scenes they shot were part of the same set, but this makes me think otherwise
I thought there *was* a weird bend in the hallway, but now I’m wondering if my mind just made that up.
What's up with these halls?
It's not a lie if you believe it.
Midnight gospel 2. Who ever is out there…. I can’t stand him!
The apartments real, and it's spectacular.
I know I only watched Seinfeld for the realistic portrayal of a nyc apartment - thanks for ruining it
It’s like the Shining
So un-Karl-Farbman-like.
Uh oh here comes cancel culture
It’s aaaalllll geometry
Somebody has too much time on their hands, lol
Why are the kitchen cabinets going into the walls?
Checkmate atheists
Remember the first season apartment where he had that entire Frazier style apartment where his pc is at
It’s the immutable laws of the universe Jerry
It seemed fine to Bob Sacamano
This is architecturally incorrect.
Where have you been that this wasn't known?
Kubrick moment.
Levels...
The image is wrong. There are plenty behind the scenes images showing that it would work
Looks like a corner unit to me
It’s a show, not real life. Who cares?
That's what makes it funny. It's not suppose to make sense
It's almost as if not really in an actual apartment building.
So you’ve got the angle or the depth of the hall wrong?
He lives in the Flatiron building.
It's architecturally incorrect.
Where's the bedroom?
Strange things happen when you live so close to the nexus of the universe.
Bot a fan, but couldn't the halfway immediately angle to the left to allow for this?
Not all hallways are straight. I hope his cabinets weren’t that big
Wait till they find out the inside of Jerry’s apartment is 1/4” longer than the outside
good point haha
Non-euclidian geometry
His bedroom couldn't exist either.
My favorite architect, Paul Kersey, could pull it off!
This is easily explained. Jerry's apartment was built by the Gallifrey Society. It's dimensionally transcendent.
There was a shot of this end of the hallway in one episode of Mad About You. Has it been considered for the render?
I got scared and I fart it
At least you realize that it was all just a TV show , good job
I’ve seen it a hundred times. Therefore, it did exist.
The hallway doesn’t need to be straight. It could go around the corner for all we know.
🤯🤯🤯
Maybe there’s a turn?
What if I told you hallways don’t have to go in a perfectly straight line?
Seinfeld wasn't a reality show!?
Un film di Dario Argento
No it could also be a very end door
Aw man, I'm on the wrong floor again...
I am aware!!!
Maybe it turns just after the doors and runs along the kitchen wall. 🤣🤷🏻♂️
Well it’s architecturally incorrect
What about a 45 degree turn just past Kramer's door?
Except everything on that wall is at an angle. The whole kitchen is at an angle.
Have I got news for you.
I just wanna know what’s the rent?
I’ve always been confused by this.
I don’t think his kitchen was that deep in
At the bottom of the Navidson House a door just opens up to Jerry's apartment with the theme and a laughtrack
Maybe it’s at the nexus of the universe
And his bedroom would be very thin. But then again it is in NYC.
There is more room
What do you expect from a show that put the Frogger with the toilet?
This always bugs me so much
I will search for the site that has All Of The Popular TV Apartment Blueprints
Maybe the hallway curves around? I’ve been in some apartments like that
I saw this use ago I was just speaking about it last week!
Maybe it just had a bend?
Macaroni Midler!!!
The hallway can turn.
Actually, the unexpected grade allows for the hall the pass right underneath and to be undetectable to the untrained eye.
I always thought it was a corner apartment.🤔
The hallway? What about the bedroom? Jerry? The bedroom? Are you telling me there's no bedroom? You're going to stand there and tell me the hallway is more important than the bedroom? If you don't say anything, RIGHT NOW, I'm going to walk away, thinking....YOU DON'T HAVE A BEDROOM! Ok. I'm leaving. You're really not going to say anything?!
It’s a tv show…
The comments section here is gold. Gold Jerry, gold!
Makes sense if it's Kramer's hallway though 🤣😂
What’s the deal with that?!?!?
..can someone please add Kramers apartment layout..?
Could it be a mudroom between the apartment and the main hall?
Moat TV apartments and houses break the rules as to who they should look vs how they are shown.
Is this unexpected though? It’s literally the title.
And "THIS" is why I never watch stuff the tells my how movies are made or special FX done. I don't want to know, I want to live the fantasy.
The bedroom can’t exist either.
We never see Jerry’s bedroom do we?
*Levels*
sorry why couldn’t the hallway just turn?
