I like the one loud laugh when George is trying to order the hair restoration cream from China.

"You grow full head of hair, look like STALIN!"

I think he meant the driver of the big rig that callously plowed through the Frogger without even slowing.

Schlomo actually appears earlier in "The Muffin Tops" in one of Kramer's reality tours. The unhelpful parking lot attendant from "The Wig Master" shows up to as a dump supervisor. He also looks like the Indian Jon Stewart.

"Can't do it."

I think it's supposed to be the same guy though, isn't he wearing a Jiffy Park shirt in both occasions?

I set this as my daily update on FB, and not many of my friends got it.

Jerry, It's Frank Costanza, George is here, Mr. Steinbrenner is dead. Call me back.

If I had the time I'd like to edit the audio on that message to play back like that, maybe when I get off of work today.

No. The hot stays hot, the cool stays cool. The cheese stays woefully unmelted. If I remember correctly they got rid of it because it doubled the packaging for a single burger and therefore doubled the styrofoam that went to the landfill.

It had the misfortune of coming out just as Americans started to realize how much non biodegradable crap we were throwing out. I remember for a while it also marked the end of the traditional Happy Meal box and they started putting Big Macs in a wrapper with only a cardboard ring keeping the wrapper from making the burger look lopsided.

The conclusion of that little storyline (Which really felt like a "poo poo! We never had all 3 of them using fake identities at the same time and we've got one epiosde left, let's make it happen!" decision) is wonderful, with Jerry trying to keep the ruse going even when he realizes that he's screwed.

"Mr. Pennypacker, if you're here, and Mr. Van Delay is here, then who is watching the factory?

The Saab factory?"

I love that Kramer breaks with the aliases there.

"Jerry, that's in Sweden"

Oh dear god I just rewatched the standup intro to 'Male Unbonding' (S1E03) and can't stop groaning.

It's like watching a jew version of Tim Allen doing standup without the masculinity.

His "friend" is so annoying in that one. I almost can't stand watching it myself.

I was watching Mad Men and one of the lines made me think about an exchange in "The Statue"

quote:

RAY: Well, that's because I'm registered under my full legal name, Raymond Thomas Wochinski. Ray Thomas is my professional name.

GEORGE: You mean alias.

RAY: You are starting to make me angry.

GEORGE: Well, that was bound to happen!

I had to pause the show because of my giggling.

Kramer being terrified of the gay thugs is a recurring theme. They also appeared in The Puerto Rican Day Parade if I remember correctly.

TBS just had 2 episodes on that I've either never seen or have very little recollection of (George arguing with someone about a parking spot, then Jerry taking Kramer's keys back). I'v watched the show mostly through syndication (the last season and a half I watched live), this makes me wonder how many episodes I haven't seen. I guess I just assumed I saw them all. One of these days I'm going to have to get the DVDs and do a complete rewatch.

e: Also, I love watching things from the 90s that are completely problems that could be solved by having cellphones.

I'm watching the keys on TBS right now, I never noticed that Kramer has a pretty bloody knee in the scene where he's roller skating. I wonder if notes about nothing has anything on that.

As far as disses on Jerry go the best was probably "You may tell jokes, Mr. Jerry Seinfeld, but you are no Comedian."

I always liked Marlene in the Ex-Girlfriend


MARLENE: Well, to be honest, it just didn't make it for me. It's just so much fluff.

Her delivery of the whole bit makes me laugh, but that line there is the one that really gets me.

Now here's the lowdown. Through a certain connection, I've been able to locate some black market shower heads. They're all made in the former Yugoslavia. And from what I hear, the Serbs are fanatic about their showers.

Not from the footage I've seen.

I also like how Jerry reveals that he has "back-ups" in case he ever loses/is forced to cut loose one of the group. Or at least one back-up for Elaine, anyway, he insists to George that he doesn't have a back-up for him even though we all know he does.

Have you forgotten about the "Summer George" Frankie?

I think the second half of the finale would have been better if they hadn't shown any clips from the older episodes, just had the people on and giving testimony. Seeing the courts reaction to "the contest" is one of the best moments, as is the group looking away before the reveal.

I haven't seen it since it came out, and I was only about 13 at the time, but I remember it being INCREDIBLY boring. There was a crop of movies like that in a 3 year period, I remember it and "The Remains of the Day" being praised, and finding them so slow moving.
