Episode 7: The Bubble Boy

Episode #47; 4:7


Our Summary

Kramer and Elmer Fudd are the only ones who get to the cabin and the K-Man succeeds in burning it down, where JGE and Susan were the ones who were supposed to be there, but didn't. Jerry and Elaine are supposed to meet George and Susan at the Bubble Boy's house first, but Jerry and Elaine lose George due to his crazy driving, and end up getting stuck in a diner. George and Susan get to the BB's house, but George ends up fighting with him over The Moops v. The Moors in Trivial Pursuit.



Our Commentary

A nice OCB is the only thing that is simply nice in this beauty of a beautiful episode. From pie country rhyming of pies to '47 Cabin, to Kramer's clown red and pink car, to the Bubble Boy himself, with his obnoxious and disrespectful lines of dialogue to his parents and to Susan, this is one hilarious episode. We get the epitome of Georginess when George asks for change from the tolls whilst Susan's cabin is burning down as well as insisting that Moops was the correct answer, even while the life is being choked from him by the Bubble Yeled, as well as Jerry insisting that he get the picture back to avoid a lifetime of embarrassment for "nothing's finer than eating in your diner", which I think is good, even while he is getting choked. We have the hick townspeople starting a riot to avenge the Bubble Chico, even though he's fine, when he really should be dying by being outside the bubble. Finally, we get links within links wrapped in links in beautiful LD fashion with the cigars, cabin, Kramer not supposed to be there, Naomi, and everything else in between. Also, we got Kramer trying to rescue HIS cigars from the burning cabin, which was his fault, from the cigars which were given to Susan, from her father, who's cabin he burnt down with the very same cigars he ended up receiving from her father, to Susan, to George, to Kramer, just a few short episodes ago. Well done LC and LD. Well done. Adam - A tremendous episode. A character was born that will live in all of us forever.
