Genre: The genre of the show is a sitcom. We know that its a sitcom because of the upbeat music and the audience's laughter in the backround: laughtrack . It is full of jokes and laughter and meant to entertain.
The characters in the scene are Jerry Seinfeld, Elain, and George. They are eating in an italian place and talking about how the whole world has become obsessed with Pesto Sauce. I think that the scene is very true to reality and what goes on in everyday life. People go to dinner all the time and critique their food and people watch and judge other people. The situation with the waiter is also very common. They are all middle-aged, middle-class white people. Something that is missing or absent from the scene is presence of something different. There is nobody who is poor or of a differnt race or african american. Everything is the same and familiar to the average, white American. When Elain is talking about how she is having a "male visitor," this was very common as it's about a male/female relationship. These types of sitcoms are always about relationships and sex and it was not surprising that they brought up her possible new love interest. As we were watching we got to see first hand how shows, even when they aren't being watched on the tv, can be controlling. Since the internet connection was slow, we had to wait patiently for the video to load. Every few minutes it would pause and we would have to sit there and wait for the video to be ready so that we could enjoy it.
