โ“ Question

Fans discuss why the episode avoided saying "pick your nose" on television, with one noting the censorship made it funnier like other words the show couldn't say.

Best of the morning after

โ€œI mean if Jerry can pick his nose on national TV, why can't we see Elaine's nipple?โ€

โ€” greg, 13 hours later ยท Nipple

โ€œWhen Kramer answers the phone, George comes out of the bathroom, pants around his ankles, screaming something like, "Say Vanderlay!โ€

โ€œI also thought the expression on Georges face after being smothered in Elain's breasts was one of last nights highlights!โ€

โ€œCK underwear modelled by Kramer?โ€

โ€œAnd thus we have Jerry's address as well.โ€

โ€œBesides, he very often wears those always-clean Air Seinfeld's.โ€
