George might have a job, he is not sure, Jerry tries to get a haircut from his barber's nephew, whereby the uncle enlists Newman's help in order to catch them in the act. Jerry's final haircut is a disaster which makes him look like a little boy, so he can't do Elaine's bachelor auction, and must use the K-Man instead.
Our Commentary
A nice OCB opens up this beauty of an ep. The whole George thing with the possible job, then at the job, with his toast, smaller office, Penske material, is all beautiful. George can eat lunch with Elaine in this episode, because Pendant Publishing is apparently in the same building as Tuttle's Palace of Pain. Hilarious stuff with Kramer at the auction with his high school equivalent, beautiful Newman and Jerry, the entire Edward a Scissorhands, the entire Enzo v. Gino and Jerry love triangle with the classical musica romantica playing in the background throughout the ep, especially, the end scene is stimply hilarious. Overall, an excellent episode, well deserved to be on my Top 50. Adam - Very good episode, not good enough to make my Top 50. Jared seems to be a little lenient in his Top 50. Everything in the episode was pretty hilarious. Well done.
