Episode 17: The Doll

Episode #127; 7:17


Our Summary

First, I don't know why Kathleen Tracy's summary below says that Jerry loses Sally Weaver's package, but that's a subject for another story. Anyway, one of Susan's dolls, which she likes to sleep with, looks identical to Estelle. Jerry gets screwed over twice by Slammin' Sally Weaver, first, when he broke the sauce that he needed for his material on a television appearance b/c of her stupid housewarming gift, when she works for FedEx, and then when he wants to get her back, but still get the sauce, she ends up getting him the wrong sauce. Meanwhile, we find out that Elaine and The Maestro broke up in Tuscany and in order to get back in good spirits with him, she repairs the damage done, by getting a signed autograph of the third tenor, his favorite. While in Tuscany, Elaine met Frank's alleged relative, and finally, Frank turned George's room into a billiards room, which is apparently "The Place to Be", and they all take off their pants in order not to ruin the crease, which Jerry does as well, and which the third tenor makes dirty.



Our Commentary

This hilarious episode just misses the Top 50. Hilarious stuff with Kramer's styrofoam bit, the pool table in the tiny room, the doll, George yelling at the doll while in Monk's, like it's really his mother, Deena popping up out of nowhere, just so he can look crazy in front of her, while she tells Ruthie that he's nuts and she agrees, the 3rd tenor saying "Too much sauce" while wiping his mouth on Jerry's pants, crazy Kathy Griffin, the Maestro coming back for more, and Frank ripping off the doll's head at the end. Unbelievably hilarious stuff with Kramer finally being able to play pool b/c of the baton, and he starts off the arse kicking with "I got a hunch, fat man, I can't miss" and other stuff while Frank just watches, even though he did rub a few pounds of chalk on his hands. Overall, a hilarious episode that should've made the Top 50, but unfortunately, there are only 88 slots in this man's Top 50. Adam - Very good episode. Not Top 50 material, but still a well played out episode. Kramer and the pool table is too much for me to handle, especially when he calls Frank, "fat man".
