Famous for playing David Puddy on “Seinfeld,” Patrick Warburton took to Instagram to claim he started the viral travel trend known as “raw dogging.”

Patrick Warburton recalled a scene from “Seinfeld” that is said to have inspired the viral social media travel trend called “raw dogging.” The actor took responsibility for the popularity of the practice.

He referenced a Buzzfeed article that says the actor who voiced Kronk in “The Emperor’s New Groove” predicted the trend, which involves flying for hours with no entertainment—just staring straight ahead.

“So this ‘raw dogging’ thing became a thing, and I feel kind of responsible,” said Patrick Warburton in an Instagram video posted on Monday (24).

He then showed a series of screenshots featuring people mimicking his scene from an episode in the ninth season of “Seinfeld.”

Warburton’s character is seen sitting next to his girlfriend on an airplane. She asks if he’s going to do anything or just stare into space.


“If you’re not going to read or watch something, you better be comfortable with what’s going on up here in your old head. I’m not. But sometimes it’s weird and fun. Just be careful. It’s not for beginners,” he warned.
