Seinfeld: The Bizarro Jerry

« prev episode next » episode

Kramer uses a bathroom in an office building and just begins working there. He is "TCB." Elaine sets Jerry up with a friend who is very beautiful, but she has "man hands." George uses a picture of her and passes her off as his dead finance Susan; that gets him into the "Forbidden City" where high priced models hang out. Elaine meets Kevin and some of his friends; they are the exact opposite of Jerry, George and Kramer. With Kramer working, George inside the walls and Elaine hanging out with Kevin, Jerry begins to feel alone. Add a recap »

The "Bizarro George"'s name is Gene, which Larry David's middle name, who (as it's been established) was the inspiration for the character George. edit »
In "Normal" Jerry's apartment, he has a figure of Superman on a stand. Jerry explains the "Bizarro World" to Elaine by using Superman and Bizarro Superman (in the Legion of Doom). In "Bizarro" Jerry's (Kevin's) apartment, there is a figure of Bizarro Superman on a stand, at the exact opposite spot of Jerry's, like all of his other furniture. edit »
When Elaine comes into Kevin's apartment, you can see the shadow of the boom mic sweep across the top of the door. edit »
When George enters the "Forbidden City", isn't the fact that he's with Amanda, one of their own, sufficient for the other girls to find him acceptable? Why does he have to show them the picture of his "dead wife" first? edit »
Why would Gillian have multiple copies of the same picture of herself, and why does she carry them around? edit »

This episode was nominated for the 1998 WGA Award (TV) for Episodic Comedy. edit »
In this episode Elaine (the only woman in a group with three guys) finds another group of people who are eerily similar to her regular group, with a counterpart for each of the men. She hangs out with them instead of the regulars but the new group ditches her because she just doesn't fit in with them. This exact same plot occurs later this season on The Drew Carey Show in the episode "Drewstock". edit »
Feldman (Bizarro Kramer) always knocks before entering Kevin's apartment, has great ideas, and always brings over food, while the actual Kramer barges in, has lousy ideas, and is always helping himself to Jerry's food. edit »
Vargas is the Bizarro Newman. He works for Federal Express (instead of the USPS) and is friends with the Bizarro Jerry, Kevin. edit »
In the Bizarro (Kevin's) apartment, in the spot where Jerrys bike would be hanging, Kevin has a uni-cycle there. edit »

(Jerry walks in and sees Kramer cooking breakfast.)
Jerry: Kramer?
Kramer: Oh, good morning. This is breakfast� but I need to go, and I am going to work.
Jerry: How much time was I asleep? edit »
George: Elaine! Can--can I come?
Elaine: I'm sorry....we already have a 'George.' edit »
Gillian: I'm just gonna go wash my hands.
Jerry: Good idea. (under his breath) There's a beach towel on the rack. edit »
Gillian: (smiles at him) Don't you just love lobster?
(Close-up of her Man hands tearing open a lobster.) edit »
Elaine: These are good people, Jerry. They read!
Jerry: I read, I read!
Elaine: Books, Jerry.
Jerry: Oh. edit »

Kevin�s line "Me so happy, me want to cry" is an allusion to the actual Bizarro Superman, who in all presentations talks with an incomplete version of English. edit »
George: Flame on!

As George and Jerry are talking about the Forbidden City, the conversation ends with George proclaiming, "Flame on!" This is the catchphrase of the Human Torch, a member of the Fantastic Four, who are Marvel Comics superheros. edit »
