Jerry's gal doesn't want to taste the apple pie at Monk's one time with Jerry, and he goes nuts b/c of it. Meanwhile, her father Poppie, doesn't wash his hands, which makes Jerry do the same thing she did. George tries to buy a suit that will go on sale, and must guard it in order to make sure no one buys it until then. He screws over another guy, who makes everyone at George's new job who are going to hire them sick, trying to get George, albeit unsuccessfully. Kramer has an itch that the new cashier scratches, but uses Elaine's mannequinn look-a-like in order to get rid of her, which Elaine stole from the store George bought the suit.
Our Commentary
Mediocre OCB opens up this beauty of an ep. This ep has 500 plots going on making it one of the most multi story eps throughout all of Seinfeld. We get our first Poppie, who is at his usual level of brilliance, his Nazi daughter, a fellow forty short, hilarious black guy if you're one of us you'll take a bite, a naked Elaine, a great sounding, long nailed Monk's cashier, and Charlie McCarthy, beautiful link back to the 5:10 Cigar Store Indian and some great lines by Proctor and Gamble, with Euro trash, rolling of the eyes, Poppie's got some problems, Poppie's a little sloppy, double mint gum, and finally as your legal advisor. Great classic George of stickin' it with the suit, and Jerry's wisecracks about Elaine being into S&M, and no I'm not a psycho from the old lady reunion. Overall, excellent episode, well deserved to be on the Top 50. Adam - Great episode filled with hilarious lines such as "I'll pay half price" among others. This truly is a tremendous episode that will forever be known as one of the greats. On a separate note, we just got back from a week at Disney World and our craving for Seinfeld has left us hungry. We plan on filling our bellies with scrumptious and nutritious healthy servings of Seinfeld. It's good to be back!!!
