A single Elaine "Get Out" is worth a million emoticon frogs doing the same.

Can one of you obsessives track down the episode, scene or exact quote I'm talking about here.

Someone breaks up with their girlfriend (THAT NARROWS IT DOWN) and to sympathise everyone starts paying out on her and someone says something like "She was so terrible I'm suprised no one has killed her".

Did this ever happen or am I imagining it. It's been so long since I saw this stuff.

You're looking for season 4's "The Dog".

Before Seinfeld, muffin tops weren't a thing. I could go buy a muffin top at Atlanta Bread Company right now. That's lasting impact. I'll tell you right now the ABC doesn't make them the "right" way, but I hear it's prohibitively difficult to get rid of the stumps.

Kramer sets fire to and subsequently stomps on a puerto rican flag
This guy doesn't make it sound very funny, but trust me, it was.

Also, Kramer was not knowledgeable about drugs in general, as exposed in "The Sniffing Accountant", and was clearly bothered by the idea of the accountant using drugs at all, even giving Jerry advice about the lifestyle of drug users (they live in the bathroom!) but I guess he could have smoked pot. It would explain kind of a lot. I personally think he didn't though.

\/\/\/ Yeah, that's what Kramer thinks drug users are really like. He doesn't do drugs, he's just Kramer. But that's an outtake. Kramer doesn't burp in the real version.

I had that jacket back in the early nineties. Loved the hell out of it. Pretty sure it was an Eddie Bauer.

I also wore a lot of flannel, but that was more of a grunge thing.

I'm not entirely sure, but in "The Secret Code" George meets Peterman and after Peterman introduces himself as J. Peterman, George touches his jacket and replies "J. Crew". I just don't remember for sure what jacket that was.

One time I was riding in an elevator and a girl came in. Of course I had to say that I was the guy who made those crop circles in England. She had no idea what I was talking about and got off like three floors later. I did not get her number.

Another time I asked a girl at a Starbucks I had gone into a lot (just to see her) if she dated immature men. She said no.

Seinfeld lines do not work in real life, at least they haven't so far. :(

Elaine's hair in season five is our transitional fossil. Not new, not old. It's not as tall and poofy, but It's not "new" yet, either. But if it's only one or the other, I'd say old Elaine.

Michael Richards ended up hurting himself in a lot of takes that were used, as he almost never broke character. In "The Parking Garage" he carries around a real air conditioner and busts his lip putting it in the car. In "The Glasses" he bruises a rib running over to save another air conditioner (weird). In "The Maestro" he hurts a woman climbing over her with his cafe latte in the theater and I wouldn't say she breaks character, but her character wasn't supposed to act hurt. Michael Richards of course stayed in character. That guy's a pro.

Richards gets seriously pissed off at Julia flubbing lines and laughing in some of the outtakes and frequently opted to not go out with the cast. At first glance he just seems like an rear end in a top hat but he really, really takes the Kramer character seriously.

On all of the interviews in the box sets he's so intense. He talks about Kramer as if he were playing Hamlet or something. It's actually pretty funny. But yeah, he takes it really seriously.

In "The Tape", during the fake porn interviews that Kramer's doing, he asks Elaine if the sex is real or if it's simulated. She answers "Oh, it's always simulated. Except with George, that's in my contract". When she says contract, she pronounces it "cuntract". Listen, it's there.

I like Jerry's "thoughts" in that scene.

Jerry: And you're not a doctor, but you play one in real life.

I think Kramer is just a lovable goof, and probably the "nicest" one of the bunch. He seems intensely loyal to Jerry, less so to Elaine and George, and is always well-meaning no matter what. I really can't think of any instances where he was a deliberate rear end in a top hat.

Kramer also terrorized Ray Mckidney (was that his name?) and he stole the statue out of his house. Of course that was a kind act towards George, and I assume Ray really did steal the statue, so it was justified, but still. Let's just say he didn't take Ray to People's Court.

Is it in the Big Salad where they change coffee shop? And in the end of the episode George is sitting alone at a table eating a meal for like 1 minute? I remember I laughed really hard at that.

You're talking about Reggie's the Bizarro diner. In "The Soup" George dates a waitress at Monk's and it goes bad and so he has to eat alone at Reggie's. The exact same shot was used in "The Pool Guy" when his worlds collide and he has to escape so he goes to Reggie's to eat alone. Reggie's actually appears in episodes besides that, too.

My favorite George moment is the end of "The Fatigues" when he delivers the Ovaltine bit to the Yankees. That pause after the word "Ovaltine" was the best part of it all. It was like four or five solid seconds. I can't find any of this on youtube though.

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.

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.
