Van Nostrand came from an earlier episode when Kramer was posing as a dermatologist screening people at Kruger Industrial Smoothing so George could get a shirtless picture of Kruger in order to have a photo retouched to prevent Kruger from realizing that George was the man who threw his childrens' beach setup into the ocean in mixed-up berserker rage [two notes: (1) I really enjoy attempting to recap latter-season Seinfeld plots in a single sentence, (2) Kruger is by far the most underrated Seinfeld character of all time-- in my opinion he's Goerge's best boss, even better than Steinbrenner-- it absolutely kills me every time Frank refers to him as "Mr. Cougar").

I don't think Kal Varnsen came out before that episode, but I do enjoy that they all have developed vaguely Scandinavian aliases.
Kramer actually used "H. E. Pennypacker" in The Puerto Rican Day, rather than the usual Van Nostrand. I think it was the first time he used that one.

Kel Varnsen was originally in The Boyfriend, when George is using Jerry to cheat his unemployment. "Vandelay Industries, Kel Varnsen speaking."

Didn't Kramer use Van Nostrand first to get something out of someone's apartment in the nose job episode first?

He used it a bunch of times. There was also the time Elaine wanted to see her medical chart and kept being marked as a difficult patient, so Kramer posed as Dr. Van Nostrand to get it.

"The Hoffermandoffneher Clinic in Belgium."
"Really?"
"...the Netherlands?"

He had to get the jacket back from the guy who used to bang his mom. Elaine played the guy's daughter and Kramer played Dr. Van Nostrand. He would reprise Van Nostrand to examine Kruger, which is where we learned that he went to Juliard.

I think the primary lesson in Seinfeld is to always have a go-to preposterous sounding alias.

I believe he used Pennypacker in The Millennium while trying to re-price the clothing.

The best part was asking if the chips were free right after explaining how wealthy he was.

Michael Richards is so intense in real life. When he talks about Kramer on the DVDs, it's like he's talking about when he played Hamlet. He was very serious about his comedy. Jerry, Jason, and Julia would go out for food after every episode wrapped up, but Michael would rarely come. I can see him getting pissed about people breaking character to laugh. In "The Parking Garage" that box that he was carrying had a real air conditioner in it because he wanted to feel the heft. When he put it in the trunk he busted his lip on it but didn't break character. In "The Glasses" he's installing a different air conditioner in Jerry's apartment, and when it falls he rushes over to try to catch it. He bruised his rib during the take you see and still didn't break character. Guy's a pro.

In one of the bloopers, Julia can't stop laughing and he lightly slaps her in the face. It seems kind of playful and she hugs him right after but knowing how intense he can be and that he can lose control, I'm not sure he did it jokingly. Like he was really upset and it was all he could not to actually slap her hard.

That's one of my favorite George bits.

"So, when's the funeral? Well, Aunt Clarice was so ill, I guess it was really a blessing."

(George sadly nods and does the sign of the cross)

"Yeah, I'll fly home as soon as I can."

(George waves goodbye, moves his hand through the air like a plane taking off)

"O.k. You, too. Get some sleep."

(She turns around and he's suddenly looking all sad and sympathetic)

I can't believe I didn't find this thread until only a few days ago. I just read it in its entirety and it reminded me of just how utterly flawless Seinfeld it.

My favorite episode is "The Susie," mostly because it's the one with George's answering machine.

There's nearly zero chance that it'll fit into 30kb and still look fluid/good. I'd have to shrink the file size like tenfold which wouldn't make it a good looking avatar at all. Sorry :(

I might be able to get his little hiss at the end into a three or four frame avatar if you're interested. No promises though.
