  • Is it deserving of it's score...?

    George's whole apology thing was funny... I loved the sarcastic apology the guy gave him. Jerry and the naked girlfriend was funny... nothing else hah hah. Elaine has a female coworker who is a germaphobe, which is really funny when Elaine puts her stapler in her arpit, coughs on her door knob, and rubs her keypad on her butt. Then in the end they're all in germaphobes anonymous because Kramer has been spending all his time in the shower, even cooking the food for Elaine, Puddy and the other germaphobes meal... how ironic. So I thought it was nothing too special, but a good episode.moreless

    This is a cool episode, Jerry's new girlfriend always is doing everything naked, and Jerry decides that there is a good naked type and bad naked type, which causes them to have troubles, then Jerry convincse her to use clothes, but he is unable to see her without figuring her naked, and vice versa. George tries to force an old friend, Jason, into tell him an apology for a bad joke, because of his nine steps thing, but later everything turns out that he is not sorry for it. Elaine is angry with a co worker, Peggy, because she is germophobic against Elaine germs, and Kramer decides to start living in the shower. What a cool episode, it was really funny!moreless

    ADD TRIVIA
    • At the end of the episode it says that Michael Fishman played Gregg, and while Michael was in the episode, you never heard his name, he was only in one scene asking for ice cream Edit
    • Peggy is presented as a germaphobe, but in reality she isn't -- she is merely concerned about catching something from Elaine because of Elaine's promiscuous lifestyle. For example, Peggy readily drinks water from the bottle that Walter has just drunk from, not the act of a germaphobe. Edit
    • Jerry gives Kramer a steak from the fridge even though in "The Robbery" Jerry says he never carries meat in his fridge. Edit

    • Elaine: This food was in the shower with you? Kramer: Mmm hmm... I prepared it as I bathed. Edit
    • Jerry: He took you to Rage-aholics? Why? George: Probably because this whole universe is against me! Jerry: I think you've got a little rage. George: I know. And now they want me to bottle it up. It makes me so mad! Edit
    • George: (about Henke) Instead of an apology, he was be-boppin' and scattin' all over me. Edit

  • Allusions

    ADD ALLUSIONS
    • Jerry: (to George, referring to Melissa) Well, I hit the wall yesterday with Lady Godiva. She did a full body flex on a pickle jar. Lady Godiva was an English noblewoman. According to legend, she rode naked on horseback through the streets of Coventry, England to protest her husband's excessive taxation of the townspeople. Edit
    • :
      Three scenes, three primate references: Talking at Monk's, Elaine calls the male body "simian." In the next scene, when Jerry and Melissa are talking about nudity, she sees him as a lantern-jawed, head-scratching ape. In the scene after that, Jerry is peeling and eating a banana while talking on the phone. Edit
