***The SEINFELD TRIVIA Thread***

In the episode "The Stand-In," what is the name of the story (or guy, depending on how you look at it) that Jerry is telling to their friend Fulton, in the hospital (which flops) and Elaine tells to Jerry's friend, which kills (just before he takes "it" out)?

Bonus: Name two scenarios in the series where a main character does something for spite.

Hobbes

"Pachyderm". Can't remember his actual name, but I think it also starts with a "P".

Bonus (well, half of it): Jerry tries to return a sport jacket (I think) to a department store for spite. I'll have to think about another one.

Hobbes

"He took...(cleans glasses) huh, huh....it out"
Julia's delivery of that line is gold.

What Broadway show did the close talker take Jerry's parents to?

vant0037

I'm not sure...it's not "Guys and Dolls." I'll know it when I hear it.


Don't mean to skip...

But, where did George get the phrase "you can stuff your sorries in a sack, mister?"

Bonus: why does FDR hate Kramer?

Double bonus: what does Jerry say to Kramer that starts off their relationship with a mooching element?

Vitalogensia

George got it from Susan. Bonus: Damn it! I don't know... Double Bonus: Jerry offered him pizza, and said something along the lines of, "We're neighbors, whatever's mine is yours."

Before the Got-No-Green Lantern gives Elaine a bear claw from the trash bag, how much is she writing out the check for?

Hobbes

Vant... thought of a second spite situation. It's actually it's from the pachyderm episode, so not sure how it escaped me. George continues to date a women (Daphne?) because Al Letche(?) tells her not to get involved with George.

Kramer hit FDR with a snowball and that's why he hates him.

Vitalogensia..... hmmm. I'll have to think about your question.

vant0037

Before proposing to Susan, George famously goes to a boardwalk, and among fluttering birds, happy couples and contemplative music, considers popping the question.

Name two other times when a similar scene occurs in the series.

Vitalogensia

Great question! One is when Jerry is contemplating "the voice" coming from his girlfriend's navel, and the other is...shit. Hope I think of it first.

Hobbes

The other would be when Jerry is considering marrying Janeane Garafalo. I was having trouble coming up with the other one, but yeah, the voice. "Hello...hello..."

vant0037

Got 'em. A gold star for both of you.

Vitalogensia

Some great lines in the one with Garafalo: "I've been waiting for me to come along and now I 've swept myself off my feet!" Then, "I can't be with somebody like me. I hate myself."

When Elaine is trying break up with her therapist, Dr. Restin, she tells him that she's seeing a guy named "Kramer.". In the middle of her lie, Dr. Restin gets interrupted with a phone call/intercom buzz. What is the name of the person he talks to?

I'm watching that episode now.

Bobo

vant0037

Yes bobo.

It's sad. I have the series on DVD. I've seen every episode dozens of times. I don't watch a ton of TV, and when I do, it's usually sports.

But I somehow always find myself watching the TBS 4 episode block from 5-7pm CST.

vant0037

In the episode "The Watch" (hint: Jerry trying to get back the watch his father gave him back from Uncle Leo), there are five "romantic interests" of Elaine - past, present, prospective, real or fake - that are in the episode. Name them.

(if you're watching, stay out of this last exit )

Bobo

I thought that was Crazy Joe Devola?

No sir. Joe Davola goes in after. He does not interrupt, and there is a very distinct interruption. "Yes Bobo. "

vant0037

Nothing? I've got a great question hanging out there...

Hobbes

Ok, Vant. This is an educated guess. Jerry, Russel, Joe Divola, Dr. Restin and Kramer.
