I don’t know much Seinfeld.
Why is this stuff illegal in some places?
I like to drink that stuff when I’m enjoying the cool evening breezes of Anytown, USA.
It’s illegal, because although it’s labeled as incense, it’s actual purpose is to be smoked. S’posed to to give you a weed-like high. They just recently had a big whoop-de-doo over it around here, which resulted in it becoming illegal in Arkansas. Thank goodness, SOMEONE’S thinking of the children!! :rolleyes:
This one is well worth looking up on YouTube. I think of that scene multiple times a year, probably multiple times a month ![]()
After accusing his wife (sitting in front of him in a cramped car) of lying about the seat lever being broken so she can’t move forward to give him more room (“If you want the leg room, SAY you want the leg room, DON’T BLAME THE MECHANISM!!”), Jerry Stiller in the role of a frequently neurotic Frank Costanza begins to howl in a part-scream, part-plaintive-wail: “SERENITY NOW! SERENITY NOW!”
“What is that?”
“My doctor gave me a relaxation cassette. When my blood pressure gets too high, the man on the tape said to say, “Serenity now!”.”
“Are you supposed to YELL it?”
“The man on the tape wasn’t specific.”
Hoochie Mama! Hoochie Mama!!
I see you, Joey Zambino.
“What is that?”
“My doctor gave me a relaxation cassette. When my blood pressure gets too high, the man on the tape said to say, “Serenity now!”.”
“Are you supposed to YELL it?”
“The man on the tape wasn’t specific.”
This episode’s plot was inspired by real-life events in the life of writer Steve Koren. While driving with his arguing parents, Koren was bewildered to hear his father shout “Serenity now!” at the top of his lungs as part of a rage controlling exercise and questioned whether or not the phrase was meant to be screamed.

To the OP, I don’t see how anyone could not make the connection. One person might not know the Seinfeld connection, but by the time five or 10 people have heard the name you’re going with, the odds of everyone being ignorant of the connection get pretty long.
You’re probably right. Still funny to see it here.
The other Serenity on the market.
But that’s not Serenity Now, dammit!
