Steve,

Took the words right out of my mouth. Barry, I did not know that about Abbott and Costello's influence on Jerry. Thanks for the info.

They put the hot fudge on the bottom so that way you can control your fudge intake. That is my single favorite episode!

In the Junior Mint episode. When they run the credits at the end, Jerry still hasn't remembered her name, so she is billed as "mystery woman."

Barry, in that episode, who got the Kosher meal instead of Elaine?


Here's another one:

What do the Pilot, and the last episode have in common?

Larry David got the kosher meal.

The pilot and last episode begin and end with the same line; Jerry is telling George the button on his shirt is in the wrong place.

Interesting fact: do you know that more than half the episodes have some reference to Superman?

One of my favorite lines:

"you are sooooo good looking"

I sometimes find myself having to refrain from saying that when someone near me sneezes.

Jerry repeats that line to Becky Gelky, whose car was smashed by an attractive hit and run driver. The actor who wouldn't say god bless you and wanted to kill George was Joe Malone, a regular on the old "Tracy Ullman Show."

Elaine: Maybe Newman is a riddle wrapped in an enigma?

Good one Josh. But he reuses the word "riddle", I think.

When Kramer is about to pour cement into the washing machine, who does Jerry compare him to?

you're like lex luthor!

'Do you think it's a effeminate for a man to use the gentle cycle?'

How much $ did Jerry lose in that episode?

Lost $1500; Kramer found it; spent $1200 to repair the machine. I like the effeminate line, too...heading out for dinner, to be continued.

I'm terrible at Seinfeld trivia, but will say that probably my favorite scene is George arguing with Bubble Boy about the Moops! hahaha. Good one.

'Oh, I like Yoohoo'... Yea, it's a fine product.


Who is the real-life brother of the Yoohoo Delivery guy?

She wanted a glass of water; he ordered her a chicken...Moops...Moors...Moops....Moors!

Real life brother is Bill Murray.

Difficult to appreciate this scene from words;

Sitting in the booth eating lunch at Monks, they're listening to the tragic life of the poor bubbleboy, Elaine hands each of them a napkin to dry their tears. Apathetic Jerry wipes his mouth.

So maybe the Trivial Pursuit MOOPS/MOORS thing was similar to the T206 SHAPPE/SHARPE thing? hee

Yes, the scene where Jerry wipes his mouth while Elaine cries over the bubble boy reveals perfect comic timing as well as the complete self absorption of the characters. If you want to see a scene where Elaine and Jerry work with flawless timing check out the one where Elaine tells him that the date he set her up with exposed himself ("he took..IT...OUT", as she's cleaning her glasses) It's priceless.

Final tidbit of the night: In the early episode "The Revenge" Kramer tells Jerry that Newman is trying to commit suicide, and you can clearly hear Wayne Knight's voice calling from outside the window. Problem is that episode was shot in 1991, and Wayne Knight didn't join the cast until 1992. When it first aired, Larry David did the voice of Newman. But after the show went into syndication, Knight overdubbed the line. I've even heard that Jerry Stiller was not George's original father, that a different actor played him in one episode and then Stiller reshot all his scenes for syndication, but I never saw it and can't confirm it.
