In October 2022, Redditor u/ApprehensiveCold9264 came to the “Seinfeld” fandom with a question: “What’s something you quote from the show every single day?” The community tossed out a handful of classics, but David Puddy’s famous one-liner, “Yeah, that’s right,” stood out as a top pick. For instance, u/Icy-Following-3713 and u/Geoff579 both brought it up, with numerous folks stopping by to upvote the latter, seemingly in agreement. u/mikesterrr5 even commented, “I barely say yes anymore” — a sentiment that many in the “Seinfeld” Reddit community likely share.
Unsurprisingly, the online love for Patrick Warburton’s delivery of “Yeah, that’s right,” as Puddy isn’t limited to Reddit. In May 2021, a YouTube user gifted “Seinfeld” fans with a “Yeah, that’s right,” compilation, putting some of his best uses of the phrase into one convenient place. “Seinfeld” viewers in the comments voiced their appreciation for the video, but that’s not all. A handful of users found it fascinating that despite “Yeah, that’s right,” enduring as Puddy’s signature line, Elaine Benes used it quite often herself. Puddy’s use of it must have rubbed off on her after a while.
Warburton’s character will go down as one of the funniest characters to ever appear on “Seinfeld,” and it’s too bad we didn’t see more Puddy on “Seinfeld.” More than likely, the majority of fans wouldn’t argue against either of those points. Evidently, most would just nod in agreement and say, “Yeah, that’s right.”
