Correct and Correct.

I can't believe I never knew he was Warren. And I just happened to watch that with my wife a few weeks ago.


GET THIS.....my wife, who was 16 when that movie came out claims to have NEVER HEARD OF IT. One of the biggest movies of that decade and she was in the targeted demographic for it and she has no recollection. None. The zipper scene didn't even jog her memory. Isn't that wild? I don't know how that is possible. 

Reminds me of the girl I went to college with in the 90’s who claimed she didn’t know who Michael Jordan was.

In the scene where Elaine discovers her lookalike mannequin in a compromising position, she claims Jerry is her lawyer, and Natasha asks what law she is breaking. Jerry mentions a fake case and a fake hearing. Name them both.

The hearings is something along the lines of McCarthur, McCartney, McCarver (something like that) 

HughFreakingDillon

The Charlie Macarthy hearings.

edit to add: and the “case” Jerry sites is one of the more obscure references I’ve ever seen a tv show make.

Amazing guess. Winchell v Mahoney.

Name as many SNL cast members that have appeared on the show as you can. There’s a couple, including a voice cameo that’s one of the ultimate Seinfeld Easter eggs.

Great question.  First two I can think of are Rob Schneider and Molly Shannon.  Not sure if they count, but Bob Odenkirk and Larry David were writers.

Adding...

Julia Louis-Dreyfuss
Jon Lovitz
Sarah Silverman
Brian Doyle-Murray
Janeane Garofalo
Ana Gasteyer

Those are the ones I had (forgot Garofalo though). If we’re adding writers, Dave Mandel (asks George to join his frolf group for the back nine) and Steve Koren (“Hey Bodysuit Man!”) can be added. 

The Easter egg I mentioned is Phil Hartman is the voice of the AMA guy on the phone with Elaine when she’s being a “difficult” patient.

Wasn’t Elaine’s roommate on SNL for a minute? For some reason, I can sort of picture her in a skit.

Great catch. She was there for like part of a season.

I never knew that voice was Phil. Cool!

I have never caught this, and only did from having subtitles on. I’m really curious if anyone knows the answer. 

When Kramer talks about his book "Astonishing Tales of the Sea", he references another book he’s working on. What’s the name of this book?

Astonishing Bear Attacks. But I don't think he's working on them, even though he says "It's in my book." I always took that as "it's in a book I own." But...knowing Kramer, maybe he is the author of those books. 

Speaking of the Andria Doria, I loved seeing it referenced in that Titan disaster documentary. Apparently they tested their soon-to-be-doomed sub at the Andria Doria wreck site. If you can even call it a wreck. It eased into the ocean like an old man into warm bath. 


Edit: Actually, it's not "Astonishing Bear Attacks" because "astonishing" is already used in the Tales of the Sea book. Maybe it's "Amazing" Bear Attacks? Can't remember.

Impressive!  “Astounding Bear Attacks”. I see your point, and perhaps Julie could accuse me of being pedantic, but when Kramer says “my” I take it to mean the same as when he talks about his coffee table book.

Was watching the 30 for 30 documentary on ESPN about Dwight Gooden and Darryl Strawberry and they showed this clip from the '86 season. Is that Seinfeld at the :56 mark?
