Seinfeld: The Bubble Boy

« prev episode next » episode

Jerry's girlfriend, Naomi has a laugh that sounds like "Elmer Fudd sitting on a juicer," and when she hears George's message to Jerry, she breaks up with him. So instead, Jerry asks Elaine to accompany him on a trip to a cabin in the mountain with George and Susan. Kramer isn't invited. Jerry agrees to a side trip to visit a sick fan, a "Bubble Boy." George gets into a fight with the "Bubble Boy" over the correct answer to a Trivial Pursuit question. Kramer and Naomi also make the trip to the cabin and get the fire started. Add a recap »

Even though everyone blames George for hurting the bubble boy, during the confrontation where he is choking him, Susan can be seen hitting the plastic divider trying to help George. So in reality, it should be Susan who is blamed for the bubble boy getting hurt. edit »
After Jerry takes Naomi home, he opens a bottle of water. At some point during their conversation we can see that the cork is on, then it�s off when we cut to a reverse angle of the scene. edit »
When Jerry and Elaine meet Mel Sanger in Monk's he is wearing a cap that says W73. Have only found two references - W73 travel site and W73 batteries. Anyone have another suggestion? edit »
When Naomi calls Jerry's apartment to say she changed her mind about going to the cabin, Kramer answers the phone. Only problem is, he didn't pull out the antenna on the cordless phone so that he could answer Naomi's call. Jerry always makes a point of pulling out the antenna on the cordless phone before answering. edit »
Elaine eats a broiled chicken in the diner in this episode when she previously stated that the only animal she'll eat is fish; I think it was the stranded episode edit »

One of the townspeople on the prowl after George describes him as "some bald guy from the city." This actor is Tony Papenfuss who played one of the Daryl's on TV's "Newhart." This is a rare opportunity to hear his voice! edit »
The question mentioned is supposedly an actual error that was discovered in the question set of a board game, while Trivial Pursuit is mentioned in this episode, other sources claim that a home edition of Jeopardy contained the error. I haven't seen any proof of it being one over the other. edit »
The error of "Moops" instead of "Moors" was in a home version of Jeopardy. Also in the same version there was an error of "Cafetown instead of Capetown, South Africa, but the writers thought "Moops" was funnier. edit »

Naomi: I thought you were happy-go-lucky.
Jerry: No, no, no, I'm not happy, I'm not lucky, and I don't go. If anything, I'm sad-stop-unlucky. edit »
Jerry: He's a bubble boy.
George: A bubble boy?
Jerry: Yes, a bubble boy.
Susan: What's a bubble boy?
Jerry: He lives in a bubble.
George: Boy. edit »
Kramer: My Cubans!
(He runs off to the burning cabin) edit »
(Jerry has lost track of George's car)
Jerry: What is he doing? Is he out of his mind? Do you see him? I don't even think I see him anymore. Where is he?
Elaine: Isn't that blue car him?
Jerry: No, no that's not him. What happened to him. I can't believe it. I lost him. That stupid idiot. Now what are we gonna do?
Elaine: It's no big deal, Jerry. We'll just meet him at the bubble boy's house.
Jerry: I don't even know where the bubble boy lives. I don't even remember the name of the town.
Elaine: You don't have the directions?
Jerry: No, I was following him.
Elaine: How could you not take the directions?
Jerry: Because HE'S my directions. edit »
(George is driving too fast as Jerry is following him)
Jerry: What's he doing? What is his hurry?
Elaine: Well, you know George. It's not good enough to get there. You gotta make good timing.
Jerry: I know he once went from West 81st Street to Kennedy Airport in 25 minutes. I never heard the end of it.
(Elaine laughs quietly)
Jerry: Look at him. edit »
