Kramer uses a bathroom in the beginning of the episode that has a flush like a jet engine and then ends up working there, even though he does nothing all day. Jerry dates a very good looking friend of Elaine, but she has man-hands. George uses his sad story of Susan's death, in order to gain access to the secret world of beautiful women. Elaine meanwhile hangs out with Kevin, from 8:2 The Soul Mate as just friends, and hooks up with his group of friends, Feldman and Gene. This group is the Bizarro World version of Jerry, Kramer, and George, respectively. Jerry feels alone b/c no one is hanging out with him. In the end though, everything goes back to normal for Jerry, as Kramer is fired, George burns the picture that got him into the Forbidden City, which then moves b/c George shouldn't be there, and Elaine must leave the Bizarro World b/c she is from the regular world, and the two simply don't mesh.
Our Commentary
And Season 8 keeps 'em comin' with another Top 25 ep. Ultra hilarious stuff of nonstop laughter with Kramer working at Brandt-Leland starting it all off with him cooking himself breakfast, while touching the hot pot with his hand that doesn't have a glove on, to telling Jerry that he needs structure, TCB, crackers are in his briefcase, etc, etc. Just dying of laughter the whole time, especially with his being denied access to the subway and his raucous behavior at the bar with his fellow coworkers, just hilarious. Great stuff with man-hands, George and his foray into the forbidden city, and finally Elaine's entry into the Bizarro World. The whole Bizarro stuff is just perfectly hilarious with everything being opposite. See stats below. Overall, just a hilariously written and acted episode by all. Adam - This Top 25 episode is unbelievable. The whole "takes the morning train" part which on a side note is the funniest song of all time b/c it has to do with George and Kramer, is one of the funniest parts of all of Seinfeld lore. Manhands just takes this episode and throws it into Top 25 status with Jerry acting all scared and frightened by manhands when he talks in that little voice, "twistoff" or when the manhands rubs his face and takes up his entire face. This episode was too much. Well done to all who partook in it.

137."The Bizarro Jerry" (October 3, 1996)
SUMMARY Elaine's new friends are the opposites of George, Kramer, and Jerry. Jerry dates a beautiful girl with
big, masculine hands. Kramer uses a bathroom in an office building, then just begins working there. George passes
a picture of Jerry's girlfriend off as one of his dead fiance', Susan, so he can get into the Forbidden City, where
high-priced models hang out. With Kramer working, George inside the walls, and Elaine hanging out with Kevin,
Jerry begins to feel alone.
