On the heels of Jerry Seinfeld premiering his new web series Comedians in Cars Getting Coffee (in the first episode, Larry David eats a pancake!) comes another mildly confusing Seinfeld-spin-off that also involves vehicles: the Soup Nazi Food Truck. Wait, what? Apparently, there is a Soup Nazi themed food truck that will not only serve soup but also include the ACTUAL ACTOR, Larry Thomas, who REALLY PLAYED the Soup Nazi. Sure! No, of course! The truck also serves Junior Mints, black and white cookies, Twix, Snapple, and “muffin tops,” all of which are food references that may or may not have anything to do with each other and definitely combine to form a nightmare meal but that are from other episodes of that show from 900 years ago. Also the food is free? Why is it free? What is this? I’m so confused by this. The Soup Nazi food truck will be touring in the following cities:

7/23 – Albuquerque, NM
7/27 – Chicago, IL
7/30 – Philadelphia, PA
8/1 – New York, NY
8/3 – Boston, MA
8/6 – Baltimore, MD

One of these cities is not like the other cities! What is even going on here? WHAT DOES THE SOUP HAVE TO SAY ABOUT IT. You can caption this photo if you want, not that I even know how you would begin, or you can talk about other ancient TV shows that should have their own food trucks (M.A.S.H.E.D. Potato Truck!) or just do whatever you want, mommy needs to lie down. Winner will receive special placement in this week’s Monsters’ Ball. SPECIAL PLACEMENT FOR YOU! Hahahahah. What even I don’t know. (Image via LaughingSquid.)

  10. The gazpacho gestapo is gonna be pissed.

  11. I wonder if bread is extra.

  12. “NO SOUP FOR, oh God, oh God! What’s happened to my life? …I’m sorry, I’m so sorry. I told myself I would hold it together. I told myself, just do this, it’ll only be like 2 weeks, you need the money…but I…am just so embarrassed and depressed. Excuse me, I have to go call my therapist.”

    • True story: I worked on a sitcom years ago, and the guy who played the Soup Nazi was a guest star one episode. He played a cab driver with one line. And all week he just hung out on the set to watch. He really just seemed to like being there, and I talked to him quite a bit. He was genuinely the nicest guy ever. And yeah, he alluded to needing the money. As I recall, he said being the Soup Nazi was great, because as an actor you want to do something that really stands out and is memorable and that people quote. But also that it was dubious, because he got stuck playing bit parts where his job was to say one line in a fake accent. And apparently he felt at risk in terms of putting food on his family — as I recall he said he was fine at the moment but not secure. Really, he was about the nicest, most low-key, most honest guy you’d ever meet. You just wanted him to do well.

  13. what? no book mobile for Mr. Bookman?

  14. Because my life has taken a series of unfortunate turns, in the both professional and financial arenas, it would be my very great pleasure to serve you some soup under any conditions, regardless of how demeaning they may be for a man serving soup out of a truck based on a character created 20 years ago by someone else, you choose to subject me to.

  15. Um, the quickest route from Boston to Baltimore is through New York and Philadelphia. Solid planning.

  16. Seriously, do NOT even ask him if he has any Grey Poupon when you are stuck next to him on the I-90.

  17. Gabe no function nostalgia well with.

  18. Well after you peak as an actor, the food industry is the next logical step, this guy knows what I’m talking about:

  19. oh yeah?…..well i had sex with his wife.

  20. What a weird looking kitchen.

  21. I bet he’s constantly followed at a short distance by the Hogan’s Heroes truck.

  22. It’s important to scoop while the ladle is hot.

  23. I bet the food truck story has the same ending as the tractor story.

  24. How did that board meeting even start? I know how it ended: “yadda yadda yadda Soup Nazi Food Truck.” But seriously, how did it start?!

  25. can i go on vacation now?

  26. Wait, which city isn’t like the others? Is it New York?

  27. WAIT who even wants soup in the summer?

  28. Why is the soup guy driving, was Hitler unavailable?

  29. It’s America’s fastest-traveling Seinfeld-referencing, non-coffee, non-poultry franchise opportunity!

  30. Uh, I’m pretty sure it was the Moop Nazi.

  31. Mo’ Poop For You
