The Adventures of Seinfeld & Superman was a series of short film commercials promoting American Express featuring Jerry Seinfeld as himself and Patrick Warburton (who previously costarred with Seinfeld on Seinfeld, as David Puddy) as the voice of Superman. The films were directed by Barry Levinson. In addition to being on the Internet, they aired on television during 2004 and one time on TBS in 2003. In addition to promoting American Express, the premise of the films were to show Seinfeld and Superman as friends, and much of the humor originated from the various situations the two found themselves in (for example, Superman anticipating hooking up his TV to surround sound, despite the fact that he already has super-hearing, as Jerry casually points out). There were two films made: A Uniform Used to Mean Something... and Hindsight is 20/20, each about five minutes in length.
Famous quotes containing the words adventures and/or superman:
“I have a vast deal to say, and shall give all this morning to my pen. As to my plan of writing every evening the adventures of the day, I find it impracticable; for the diversions here are so very late, that if I begin my letters after them, I could not go to bed at all.”
—Frances Burney (1752–1840)
“The superman is the meaning of the earth. Let your will say: the superman is to be the meaning of the earth! I beseech you, my brothers, be true to the earth, and do not believe those who speak to you of otherworldly hopes! They are poisoners, whether they know it or not.”
—Friedrich Nietzsche (1844–1900)
