Episode 2: The Puffy Shirt

Episode #66; 5:2


Our Summary

George moves in with his folks, becomes one of the greatest hand models ever, and ends that career choice because of Kramer's low-talking girlfriend, who supposedly got Jerry to agree to wear her puffy pirate shirt on the Today show, and was pissed off he made fun of it, that she threw George, who also made fun of it, into an iron, which was left on by Kramer, who was trying to iron said shirt.



Our Commentary

An excellent OCB and a decent CCB enclose this hilarious episode. This ep was not on our Top 50 during previous siyums, but now we don't know how it isn't on the Top 50, as it is now as of the 3rd Siyum. Hilarious stuff with the real first Jerry Stiller, the whole lowtalker stuff, Jerry's comments about now being able to hear her at the end, George's hand modeling, the whole LD stylized story about Ray McKigney, George finishing that story with a backwards episode link to 4:11 The Contest, Frank and Estelle bickering, George answering that he'll take his jello up in his room, and the linking up of the entire episode, in classic and excellent LD fashion, with the low talker ruining George's hands b/c of Kramer leaving the iron on, and giving away the puffy shirts to the homeless people Jerry and Elaine were supposed to help, etc. The links go on and on. Well done LD. Overall, an excellent episode. Adam - Great episode. Went on to my Top 50 immediately after, funny stuff, great job.
