I seem to recall that in 1992, give or take, there was a Seinfeld episode that had Kramer doing something that caused at least one of the Macy’s Tday parade floats to deflate. Maybe something worse, but I can’t say for sure. Was there such an episode? Was it some other series?

Thanks,

I think it’s the Woody Woodpecker float one.

Yes, but it’s Jerry, not Kramer, who accidentally drops a model of the Empire State Building out the window, puncturing Woody.

Mr. Pitt finds Woody’s laugh “intoxicating.”

Yup. Kramer was actually one of the float handlers at the time.

I have to add something new to this, so here’s my contribution.

Mr. Pitt was able to get the spot on Woody Woodpecker because Elaine was able to guess the correct song played on a big band station… the song? Next Stop Pottersville!

Elaine was removing the salt from Mr. Pitts pretzels at the time.

Ha-ha!  
Thanks!  
IIRC, that was the ep that made me start liking the series!

Best wishes,

Good one! But didn’t she just win a chance to get the spot? She had to go down to the barbershop quartet show to claim them or something, right? And went temporarily deaf - which led to Jerry dropping the mini-ESB?

The deafness led to Elaine rejecting Tim Whatley’s offer of what she thought was peanuts, but he was actually asking her out on a date. Jerry didn’t know whether he was invited to the party so he had to slide around quietly asking if anyone was a dentist, as he couldn’t get an appointment on Thanksgiving.

Then he found one and lent his head back on the window, pushing out the mini-ESB and RUINING THE HOLIDAYS.

Nit-pick: it was Mr. Pitt, not Kramer, who was the float-handler for Woody.

The episode contains one of my all-time favourite Seinfeld lines, from Elaine:

> So Mom and Pop’s plan was to move into the neighborhood, establish trust… for 48 years, and then run off with Jerry’s sneakers?

And I always thought that John Voight’s car was the memorable plot from this episode.

:eek:

Was that the best Seinfeld episode ever in terms of the strength of multiple plotlines?
