![]() But because sometimes you need to lose the battle to win the war. Justin: Should George have skipped the sponge bath show to get his mom dinner? Probably, but not because she was hungry. It opens up so many possibilities and we may get a spinoff about the aerobics instructor. The obstacles they came up with for each of the four characters are really enjoyable, and make the plot more than just an excuse for jokes about jerking off. It was an original, audacious idea, and I’m still impressed that they managed to not only get it onto network television, but make an excellent episode out of it. The four subplots woven in are equally brilliant and together they make a masterpiece.Īndrew: The Contest itself is a clear winner. ![]() Possibly the easiest decision we will ever have while chronicling the series.Īaron: Obviously it’s the contest. His fake concern for his mom just to catch a peep show is exactly what his character is all about, throwing Tic Tacs at her and ignoring her pleas for food in order to catch a glimpse of shadow boob. Plus, without this situation happening, the entire episode premise doesn’t happen. The poor guy got busted by his mom, his friends have no sympathy (Jerry asking, “Glamour?” with a hint of disdain is awesome) and his mom is clearly a piece of work. You could talk me into any of the four main characters for best performance, but Elaine’s is my favorite. obsession endearing, and I really enjoy her sheepishly revealing that she’s out of the contest. All hail the King.Īndrew: I’ll go with Elaine again. By the time he’s accusing Jerry of stealing his socks and tossing Tic Tacs at his mother we are witness to a sad broken man who, despite festive dinosaur sheets, is destined to live his life alone, with a trail of lies and destroyed lives behind him. I would not want to be at Festivus later that year. It takes a special kind of glamorous man to masturbate in his parents’ home at three o’clock in the afternoon but only George Costanza would be caught by his mother and constantly berated for the rest of the episode (and possibly the rest of his pitiful life). This isn’t just a case of George being the funniest one here, this episode IS George. The shame and humiliation that followed him treating his body like an amusement park is the stuff of legend. Toss in the sponge bath theatre and his eventual fight with his mom over picking her up dinner so he didn’t miss the show was so good.Īaron: Out of sheer sympathy it has to go to George. He was the whole reason the contest came about and the absurd reason why was pure Costanza. ![]() Justin: They were all really great, but I have to go with George for sure. So settle into your couch with the cushions flipped over, grab a Snapple and enjoy the ride! The goal is to rewatch the entire series chronologically to see what truly worked, what still holds up today, what feels just a bit dated and yada, yada, yada it will be a great time.
