Episode 8: The Pool Guy

Episode #118; 7:8


Our Summary

Kramer changes his phone number to 555-FILK, so everyone calls him, thinking that it's Moviefone. George's worlds collide b/c Susan and Elaine become friends, thereby making the George that is with Susan meet the George that is friends with the gang. This reaches a climax when George comes to Monk's and the gang now consists of Susan instead of George. He then tries to catch Jerry, Susan, and Elaine at the movie theater, but b/c of Kramer's Moviefone shtick, he doesn't know it's playing at two theaters. Finally, Jerry doesn't want to be friends with a pool guy, who wants to be friends with him, and the pool guy then starts harrassing Jerry, and then Newman jumps on him in the pool, and neither of them will give him CPR.



Our Commentary

Nice OCB opens up this beautiful episode. Hilarious stuff with George's worlds colliding, what's in the deep end, Kramer's 555-FILK, LD's voice in Chunnel, and Ramon's psycho face. Extremely hilarious is George finding JSEK at Monk's and a ho ho to boot, Kramer's pasta statues, and the two poolboys faces after saying "With Ramon?" are so priceless that even though their scene is over and they are no longer needed the camera pans back to them to show the more Asian looking guy looking away to the side with a hilarious smile on his face, as well as the more Hispanic looking guy facing the other way also with an hilarious smile on his face. Overall an excellent episode. Adam - Hilarious episode. Still not worthy of the Top 50 but on the brink of greatness. At some parts I pissed in my pants, but at others I didn't. Sounds like a Top 100 episode to me!!!!
