I wish I could find that clip (maybe someone has a gif?) from "The Shower Head" when Mr Peterman is convinced that Elaine is an Opium addict, and Kramer comes with his flattened hair asking Elaine if if could use her shower and sounding like a junky. The comedic timing of Peterman throwing him out is some of the best slapstick I've ever seen on television.

It's even funnier that Puddy is religious when you also consider the episode when Puddy scares the poo poo out of the El Salvadorian priest while wearing devil facepaint.

Okay, not trying to derail this great thread, but who else thinks Kramer was a toker. I'm not a :420: advocate, per se, but I've smoked my share and his discombobulation and random asides point to weeeeeeed.

Again, not saying he was, but it just seemed like so much of his behavior seemed indicative of cannabis use.

Feel free to smack me down if you know from cannon that he wasn't.

I've brought it up with friends both smokers and not, and their response is usually "meh, maybe, maybe not" but some of the things he does seem like things only your best stoner buddy would attempt (and predictably, fail at).

I feel that having drug use a folly for his behavior kind of takes away the magic of the character. Kramer is so strange simply because hes Kramer. Although I do recall an episode where he said that an air conditioner fell on his head in 1979, which may explain his disjointed thinking.

The Voice is objectively the best episode of the series.


Wikipedia posted:

The basis of the talking stomach was Seinfeld writer Spike Feresten's real life experience of imagining his girlfriend's anus talking to him while she slept. He recounted the idea to his fellow writers on Seinfeld, where the anus' voice became something of an inside-joke. He told his girlfriend this, and her reaction was much like Claire's in the episode. After the writing staff decided to incorporate it into an episode, Seinfeld decided to change it to her stomach talking to her, so that it wouldn't appear to be simple "body humor." Seinfeld later commented that he wished they had kept it as a talking anus.

Didn't Seinfeld have a live audience?

As it is, you couldn't remove the laugh track. Kramer's physical bits would seem awkward, and the pacing would be all off. I do think they could have easily adapted the show to work without one, but I don't think it would have fared better. Seinfeld did so well the way it was that there's probably nothing tangible that you could change that would have made it any more popular.

It was a live audience, and by the later seasons they had ask people to stop applauding so much whenever Kramer walked on set. I agree that removing the laugh track would disrupt the pacing of the dialogue a lot, which was designed to accommodate it.

I loved that the rest of the cast kept talking about having a chance to "get it right" and fix the mistakes of the previous finale, while Larry kept insisting there was nothing wrong with it.

Also hilarious is Larry getting personally offended when Julia Louis-Dreyfus and Jason Alexander talk about how much of an idiot George Costanza is since the character is based so much on him.

Steinbrenner would not care, he doesn't even want doors on the stalls in Yankee Stadium.

INT - Yankee Stadium Employee Bathroom.



[George enters into Employee Bathroom whistling, Mr Steinbrenner is using a stall with an open door, George recoils in shock.]

George: Augh! Oh geez, I am so sorry sir!

Mr Steinbrenner: No problem George, actually I've been meaning to discuss something with you, you got a minute?

George: Uh sir... you're uh, you're heh.... on the toilet.

Mr Steinbrenner: Well of course George. I like meeting here, lets me talk Yankee to Yankee, catch people with their pants down, so to speak. Plus I don't like my office lately. The new cleaner the janitor uses is making me sneeze, plus I think he changes the air conditioner setting when I'm not around.

George: Can I at least close the door?

Mr Steinbrenner: No can do, Georgey Boy. Gotta look up at a man's face when you're talking business George, shows respect and confidence.

George: Oh, I'm looking up sir...

Mr Steinbrenner: Did you know that FDR used to meet with his Chiefs of Staff while on the toilet? What a guy. Although I think it was because he was in that wheelchair, so he couldn't reach the door handle and he needed them to get him out...

George: [looking around] Sir... where have all the stall doors gone?

Mr Steinbrenner: That's what I wanted to talk to you about. I've been looking at the statistics. George, do you know how many manhours are spent on the opening and closing, maintenance and upkeep of our toilet stall doors?

George: No sir, I do not.

Mr Steinbrenner: That's a shame George because neither do I. I really need a number to help convince the board. Well anyway I'm sure its a lot. That's why, starting today, no more stall doors in Yankee stadium!

George: But sir, won't the fans want their privacy?

Mr Steinbrenner: That's what the bathroom door is for. Think of how fast the queues would go without people having to constantly open and close and open and close the stall doors. Noone would be embarrassed if everyone has to do it, it'd be just like being in the stands! Hey there's an idea, replace the regular toilet seats with ones that look like stadium seats! Big Stein is on a roll!




[Mr Steinbrenner continues talking. Cut to Jerry's Apartment]

Jerry: So he kept talking to you. On the john. For twenty minutes?

George: Yep. Twenty long, long, long... minutes.

Jerry: Does he often talk to his employees on the can?

George: How should I know?! I can't just ask people.

Jerry: Did you uh, you know...

George: No I didn't catch a glimpse!

Elaine: [Trying not to laugh] So why did he want to talk to you on the toilet?

George: I don't know, apparently FDR used to do it during World War Two or something. I think this is just my final act of degradation before he fires me.

Jerry: Hey speaking of World War Two, Eva and I were in bed last night and she did that thing again.

George: The sleep saluting?

Elaine: Jerry you're crazy, she was probably just stretching or something.

Jerry: But it went straight up like a rocket!

George: But she knows you're Jewish right. Why would a Nazi have a relationship, let alone sex, with a Jew?

Jerry: How would I know what a Nazi thinks?

George: Maybe it's like a rebellion thing. Like her parents are Nazis and she's doing this because she knows they'd disapprove.

Jerry: George not everyone hates their parents as much as you do. And besides, how would I ever find out if that was true anyway?

Kramer: [clicks fingers] I'll do it.
