The world is chaotic and everything sucks. Even in the ’90s, one comedian enjoyed drilling that home more than anyone else: Jerry Seinfeld. However, his observational humor was more geared towards small, everyday things that were weird or awful and not the giant, overwhelming issues we’re currently facing. That makes watching Seinfeld and catching up with Jerry, George Costanza, Elaine Benes, and Kramer the perfect escape from today’s oft-grim reality.

We may not be able to escape to space, but we can at least go back to when the biggest problem facing people was shrinkage and the best way to break up with someone, right? These Seinfeld trivia questions will test your knowledge and help you go back in time at your next game night.
