❓ QuestionπŸ˜‚ Loved it

Fans discuss an actress's physical appearance from the episode, with one commenter making a reference to a famous line from the show.

Best of the morning after

β€œIf you find yourself breathing heavy and your head ready to explode, I suggest you refrain from watching comedy in the future.”

β€œYeah, it seemed like a total whore thing to me too.”

β€œThe funniest episode was the one earlier in the : season where Kramer went golfing with the baseball player and then the guy went : out and killed the laundry guy.”

β€œThat whole bit with the bowing exit seemed to have been lifted wholesale from Rowan Atkinson's shtick.”

β€œI find beating out a quick 4/4 reggae riff on the video cassette to be a much better aerobic workout and, ultimately, more fulfilling.”

β€œYou americans are such geographic mental midgets.”
