 Interesting Questions, Facts, and Information
 Jerry Seinfeld
He doesn't use any jokes to attract her attention. The DVD release of "Seinfeld" states that Jerry has had over seventy different partners during the course of the show. Unlike George, he doesn't have any inhibitions when approaching girls, but on the other hand he seems incapable of establishing a long-term relationship, as he breaks up with them for the silliest reasons. Jerry's spontaneity and humor help him come up with very funny pick-up lines. Sometimes he doesn't even have to be the one to break the ice. For example, he meets Tia the model on a flight and their conversation is triggered by the fact that he was sitting unintentionally in her seat. By the end of the flight she is already his girlfriend, yet after just a few dates she breaks up with him because she thinks she has caught him picking his nose.
| On one occasion, George summarizes Jerry's fields of expertise. He claims Jerry knows "about comedy" and he knows "a little bit about relationships". Which is the third and final thing in George's enumeration? | "Seinfeld" Profiles: Jerry, his Pals (and More)

baseball. Sports, especially baseball, play an important role in the "Seinfeld" universe. Each of the four main characters are involved in numerous activities or incidents related to baseball. Top on the list is George, who appears to be an avid fan of the game and eventually manages to miraculously get a job with the Yankees. Then Kramer, he gets the chance to play baseball with his idol Micky Mantle at a fantasy camp. Elaine is also a fan of the game and often goes to see live matches (although she has a talent for provoking altercations on these events). Last but not least, Jerry watches baseball, plays baseball befriends baseball players and tells baseball related jokes. He even affirms at one point that playing exceptional in a baseball game was "the single greatest moment" of his life.
| Jerry's parents are extremely proud of their son. They seem to almost never get upset with him, whatever wrong he might do. There is however one occasion on which they are revolted by his actions and demand an explanation. When does this happen? | "Seinfeld" Profiles: Jerry, his Pals (and More)
|
when they find out he made out during "Schindler's List". "How could anyone not like him" Mrs. Seinfeld often wonders, while Mr. "#1 Dad" Seinfeld always brags to his neighbors about his son's achievements. And Jerry often gives them reasons to get excited, not necessarily for good reasons. They are shocked to hear that he is gay, yet they reassure him "not that there's anything wrong with that". They are disappointed to find out that he is faking a marriage, yet they are thrilled by the perspective of a real one. And they are outraged to learn that he made out during "Schindler's list", yet their anger is instantly gone after he gives them a candid explanation. They might have as well got upset when Jerry got Nana into trouble, yet their reaction is not recorded in the show.
| Jerry and his friends share a great passion for movies. In fact they even enjoy going to really bad movies. What is the main reason for which Jerry likes to go to this kind of movies, as stated by his own account? | "Seinfeld" Profiles: Jerry, his Pals (and More)
|
to make sarcastic remarks. Although big cinema fans, Jerry and his friends couldn't care less about movies like "Schindler's List" or "The English Patient". Instead, Jerry is much more concerned that he might miss the big screen showing of the worst movie ever, the fictional "Plan 9 from Outer Space". Although very hyped about getting the chance to see it, the events from "The Chinese Restaurant" ruin the gang's mood. Eventually, Jerry doesn't go to see it either, as he wouldn't get any satisfaction from making sarcastic remarks to strangers. On a different occasion, Elaine gets a similar disappointment from not being able to see "Sack Lunch", another supposedly terrible movie.
| One of Jerry's favorite sayings is the sarcastic "That's a shame", which he joyfully delivers whenever one of his friends has caused a bad situation. Surprisingly, the line is actually not his to take credit for. Who was the first to use it? | "Seinfeld" Profiles: Jerry, his Pals (and More)
|
George. The catch-phrase was first used by George in "The Chaperone" while watching Miss Rhodes Island's dreadful performance on TV. The line is quickly embraced by Jerry as he returns it to George during the course of the same episode. He delivers it after they catch a glimpse (still on TV) of the Yankees' embarrassing presentation in their new cotton uniforms (an equipment advocated by George). As it turns out, George's misfortunes will often be greeted with Jerry's casual "That's a shame" from that point on. Kramer also uses the line when he assumes Jerry's whole persona in "The Chicken Roaster".
Duncan Meyers. Jerry Seinfeld's idolization of Superman is translated into the show. "The Race" is the episode which pays a direct homage to the Superman series, containing the most references to the superhero. Jerry is dating a girl named Lois and he assumes the role of Superman, as he is facing a final confrontation with his long time high school rival, Duncan Meyers. Although Duncan was the Lex Luthor of that particular Superman inspired episode, Jerry's all-time arch-rival is Newman. In fact, Jerry Seinfeld has revealed in interviews that his character perceives Newman as his Lex Luthor.
| At the opposite pole of Kramer when it comes to vices, Jerry doesn't have any inclination for gambling, he never smokes and hardly ever touches spirits. However, which is one of the rare occasions when he does feel the need for a strong alcoholic beverage? | "Seinfeld" Profiles: Jerry, his Pals (and More)

when questioned by Elaine about the red dot. Although not at all bothered from lying to Elaine on numerous occasions (as when depicting to her the hit and run incident), Jerry is unwilling to lye to her in favor of George in regards to the red dot on the Kashmir sweater. Still, he wouldn't tell her the truth either and would rather get himself drunk with some Hennigans scotch in order to avoid giving her an answer. Another scene when Jerry appears to indulge a strong liquor is after he passionately relates his rivalry with Duncan Meyers, only to reveal that he's only drinking cider... "Man that's some tart cider!"
| Jerry eventually gets put on trial, on which occasion the question "How could anyone not like him?" gets a whole lot of answers. Still, which one of his wrongdoings is not exposed during the trial? | "Seinfeld" Profiles: Jerry, his Pals (and More)
|
drugging a woman to play with her toys. When all summed up in "The Finale", it almost comes up as a surprise that Jerry has been responsible for so many wrongdoings, since he has left the impression of being the most grounded and law-abiding character of the group throughout the show. As it turns out, a lot of people come to testify against him in the trial, including Mr Bookman, Marla the virgin, the "old bag", the low-talker and Babu Bhatt.
| Despite his indifference and even amusement in regards to his friends' daily troubles, Jerry really cares for them and is a true friend. What saying does Kramer use to describe Jerry as the nucleus of he group? | "Seinfeld" Profiles: Jerry, his Pals (and More)
|
the Miana. Obviously, the group cannot be without Jerry and Jerry cannot be without the group. At least in the early part of the show, George, Elaine and Kramer feel awkward whenever they have to spent time without Jerry. For instance, in "The Dog", George and Elaine end up going out by themselves and realize they have nothing to talk about, except making fun of Jerry. Similarly, in "The Opera", Kramer insists that Jerry must come with them because he's "the nucleus, the straw that stirs the drink... the Miana!". Jerry in his turn is affected when he realizes that the group is falling apart in "The Bizarro Jerry", claiming that "The whole system's breaking down!". He appears to feel deeply sorry of the perspective of losing Elaine's friendship, after the failed "deal". He also shows signs remorse and compassion towards Kramer; for instance when Kramer leaves to California or when he gets repeated nosebleeds.
