Comedian Writes 9/11 Seinfeld Script, and it's Just as Uncomfortable as You'd Imagine

Seinfeld is back, but it's never felt so uncomfortable.

Ever wonder what a 9/11 episode of Seinfeld would be like? We didn't..but we found out anyway.

Comedian Billy Domineau of The Onion, out of some crazy, sick fantasy decided it would be a good idea to write an episode of Seinfeld as it would have taken place on 9/11.

The episode, which was supposed to take place three years after Seinfeld ended, is set in post 9/11 New York City about a week after the terror attacks.

The characters act pretty much as we would expect Jerry, George, Elaine, and Kramer to act after a tragedy that killed more than 3000 people.

In the episode, George tells 9/11 first responders that they're lucky to have a chance to get treated like heroes, and that he wishes that he had had a "chance" to be in their situation.

And Jerry develops a phobia of 9/11 dust, and he won't kiss his girlfriend because he sees a speck of dust on her.

Meanwhile, in his typical fashion, we find Kramer had been responsible for telling Mohammed Atta to commit the terrorist attack and that he was the one who gave Atta the box cutters. Not surprisingly, Kramer wants his box cutters back.

He goes to the 9/11 loss claims department and tries to submit a claim for the value of his box cutters. As we would expect, the others there aren't too pleased.

And, of course, Elaine is up to her typical antics as well.

When she finds out that her boyfriend was killed in the World Trade Center, she seems almost happy now she won't have to go through the work of breaking up with him.

Her happiness is short-lived, however, when she finds out her boyfriend is still alive, and now she will have to stay with him until he has recovered.

Here's the script:

One has to wonder why Billy Domineau would decide to write such a sick and upsetting script.

We're sure it would bring back a lot of old wounds for people who suffered from the horrific attacks. Someone should ask Larry David how he feels about Domineau's work.

Hopefully, making Seinfeld scripts out of tragedy will not become a trend.

That said, Domineau does do a good job of imagining how the characters would've reacted such an event, and we can almost picture the character speaking the lines in our head.

Next time, maybe the comedian can use his skills for something less painful.
